[at-l] paruck demonstrations

[Amy Forinash]

Would people be willing to set up their various tents so those of us  
who are pondering new shelters might be able to compare them?  If  
Donna didn't mind we could set them up in the yard by the volleyball  
court on Saturday, maybe with tags on them giving models and weights.

I could bring a Tarptent Squall 2, a Hennessey Hammock, and a plain  
rectangular siltarp to set up.

(I was amused at how many people were taken aback to see me and Delee  
lounging under the tarp this year.  I set it up a number of times to  
shade us from bugs, sun, or rain.  It hardly takes any time so it's  
often worth it.  But people acted like it was a big deal.)

I'd love to see some of the Six Moon Designs shelters, other  
Tarptents, and the Gossamer Gear "The One".  And some of the poncho  
shelters, too.  Heck, pretty much any shelter.
