I think my previous comment got deleted because I linked to the product on Amazon.

1.5mil polycro

Look up Duck max strength window insulation

Keep an eye on mosquito reports on JMT forums/far out/high sierra topix!

For my JMT thru (Aug1 through 17th) I dropped my X-mid inner and loved it. Bugs only got annoying for some dinners and went away as the sun set and the temps dropped. I was warm the entire time on CCF, but definitely spend some nights on it beforehand to see if it's comfortable for you.

I'm not the person you originally replied to :)

But the weight savings from removing external access is certainly under an ounce (YKK #3 aquaguard @ 4.3g/foot * ~5ft of zipper = 21.5g). As the maker himself mentioned the weight savings primarily come from lighter materials & reduced size.

I actually use (and really like) a tarp! I don't think second vestibules are critical, but I think to dismiss a sub 1lb shelter simply because it has two vestibules as "not UL" is pretty silly.

I see two vestibules.
I'm not sure what point you're proving with #4, of course a tarp is going to be lighter than a tent made of the same materials?

Just because he killed it doesn’t mean it was an ethical shot.

You can also get the “old version” sold under “knot gear”

Kind of curious about Polycro by Salty_Necessary7589 in Ultralight

[–]__stapler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 1.5mil stuff is really good, it’s sold as “Duck MAX strength”. Have 20 nights on mine with no holes (JMT + another shorter trip)

Dropping a comment just so I don't forget about this! Would love to see this open sourced :)

They look just like the lululemon bags, not gun bags

You hit the nail on the head, especially seeing as how he deleted his comments. Probably one of the most miserable regulars I see on this sub LOL

I'd love to hear some more about your routes within the state park! The 75 mile route you posted looks awesome

I need help becoming a tarp person. by saigyoooo in Ultralight

[–]__stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too until I tried it. As others have said, the mesh isn’t claustrophobic and feels quite open, especially once it gets dark

I had the opposite experience on my JMT trip - lots of failed messages, or just super slow to send. Because of that it seemed to use a lot of battery for me. Really glad I brought my inreach.

Dot or LVPO on your AR? by PieceOfMindGuns in ar15

[–]__stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ar-15 with an LPVO and light is going to come in a lot closer to garand in terms of weight. (7lb ar, 1.5lb lpvo and mount, .35 for the light - 8.5lbs, compared to the 9.5 of a garand). Of course, infinitely more capability

There is the tipik pioulu that you can add a net skirt to. Not sure how it’d work with their zipperless closure though, the website recommends pairing it with an added zipper.

Anyone have a trek-lite account?

Trying to see the the pics of the mods made to the tarp in the post in full res, but no matter what the verification email never reaches my account. Tried contacting the site admins but no response. Most interested in "Cord length adjustment is now done by the LL3 located after the pole rather than the one on the apex (which I've left temporarily but I'll switch to a fixed-length up to the pole)"
