I used a SMD Wild Oasis in 2010 on the PCT and while it worked well I came away wishing willing to trade a little more weight for three things: More ventilation when using it for bugs, more head room laying down and a bit more space when using it in the rain. This is what I came up with, still floorless and using two poles. It will be a while before I can try it on a trip but the space and ventilation are what I was shooting for.
Very nice, George! Good job!
Yeah, nice!
Innovative and creative ideas on bpl.
Now, if you would just put a blank line between each picture in your source I could see it better : )
Looks great George.
If you don't mind the obligatory question?
I still need to seam seal it and trim the netting and zipper even, then get it to a good scale. A first weighing at the supermarket on a produce scale showed maybe 1lb 4oz with stuff sack and stakes. I hope to have a better answer after the weekend.
I know this is over one year old. Any updates from the field?
I'm about to start sketching up some designs for a solo shelter with the same idea you have here. I really like the offset trekking pole setup to offer more headroom and ventilation.
