re: Tyvec, polycryo, or nothing My vote is in favor of bringing nothing extra. I've owned and used the BASL2 tent in the past (prior model, not current 2012) and I believe that you do not need a groundcloth. IIRC, the new ... |

Another harness option - Mammut Zephir Altitude At ~7.5oz bit heavier than the Alp95, but lighter than the Air CR, and somewhere in between in terms of function. It is more comfortable than the BD Couloir for a similar weight. It is also very c... |
