http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/...elter%20Review/(I will highly recommend this line of superlight shelters. They make tarps too. This shelter uses one pole, staff, limb, whatever. I've used it many nights and they are deceptively tough. It's sort of a triangular affair, no floor, but kindofa door - shelters two people and weighs LESS THAN ONE POUND!!)
- MORE cordage!
- six screw-in plastic stakes
- yet one more plastic bag!
Vehicle Kit
- two plastic tarps (10'X12')
- more rope
