    Well I don’t yet have the sewing skills to make your design Roger but I may revisit my idea of stretching that old Caddis [ keeping the unsupported fabric to less than 900mm] and see what it looks like

    Thought I’d mention that I just picked up a venerable Macpac Olympus off the local classified ads for the cost of a supermarket popup tent! Over 20 years old but it’s little used and there seems to be a bit of life in the old lass yet. Useful it for car camping on windy sites and the occasional back-country base-camp.

    It came with the inner separated, and there are over 30 attachment points to fit it to the fly! Not something I’ll be doing in the field….But once the inner is fitted it’s quick to erect and it sure is a solid looking beast.

    So you see I don’t have anything against tunnels in the right time and place ;-)

    Hi Geoff

    SCORE!

    It came with the inner separated, and there are over 30 attachment points to fit it to the fly!
    I separated the inner from the outer just once when I was using an Olympus – at home, to see what was involved. I never separated them again.

    Enjoy!
