[at-l] FOR KIP (tents)

[jplynch]

I met Kip, a through-hiker heading south, on the AT in Shenandoah NP near
Big Meadows.  We discussed tents and I wanted to pass on some of the
details that I couldn't remember about the tent that I'm currently using
for backpacking.
Sierra Designs Light Year CD (weight, ounces)
Tent (22.5)
Fly  (20.0)
Footprint (7.5)
Poles and pole bag (10.5)
Stakes (Eason stakes, 9, plus bag) (5.3)
Tent stuff sack (1.7)
Total weight is: 67.5 ounces, or a little over 4 pounds
I told Kip that I thought my tent weighed about 2 1/2 pounds, but I was
obviously only remembering the base weight of the tent plus fly.
