Nice.
Looks quite similar in dimensions to my hut1 setup, which comes in at around the same weight with my bugnet and floor mods.
.
Yeah, it does. Just modular and double-wall.
I got another hut1 for spare change.
Wish I had enough spare change for your setup though. ;-)
Wow it looks great in leaf green. Anyone wanna buy a white Echo I so I can get a green one :)
FWIW, 3/32" shockcord (instead of 1/8") will work great with the existing LineLoc3's on the inner and it'll save you 0.5-1oz. I'm also using 1.4mm guyline from HMG with MicroLineLoc's on the tarp and beak, except for the side guy outs on the beak where I'm using a fixed length of 1/16" shockcord. All told I've saved 3-4oz.
Yeah, I knew I could save some weight but at < 2 lbs for 2 people I'm in no hurry to modify it. At the weights we currently carry year round it would take a loss of several pounds for us to notice any difference.
