My Locale Oregon and Washington
About Me I started hiking about 45 years ago. My first backpack was 40 years ago. I currently try to do one backpack trip of 5 nights every month (which can be tricky in the winter) 20 to 50 miles. Mostly I stay around Mount Hood, Columbia Gorge, Mount Adams, Goat Rocks, and the Olympic Peninsula. In recent years I have shifted to lightweight - my pack weight without food and water is about 15 lb (7 kg). I make a lot of my own gear - silnylon tarp-tent, bivy, synthetic bag, simple bag style pack. My sleeping pad is a Therm-a-Rest air mattress.

Re: "Lunar Eclipse Dec 10"
Bummer Looking a little more closely, it's just West coast U.S. thing (and West to Asia, Australia?) For you Easterners, the moon will be set so you won't see it

Re: What shelter to make for PNW Winter?
Floorless tent may not be best in blowing snow. I use it all winter in PNW but avoid blowing snow, occasionally have been snowed on, but it's the wet PNW snow.
