My Locale Mid-Atlantic
About Me My wife and I are originally from MI. We've lived in VA now for 5 years now and really love the area. I'm been an avid backpacker for about 20 years or so. After my first week long trip carrying #60 I started down the lightweight road. I like to make some of my own gear when I can. We love to travel and hike. I've been a designer all my adult life, primarily in the automotive industry but the last 5 years in aerospace.

warmth
In spring, summer, fall the warmth of my tent wouldn't be a factor. But in winter it would. Usually a tent can be warmer by minimizing the air gap around the bottom of the tent and closing a ...

Cool idea of using a rubber band. I'll have to try that sometime.
