[at-l] Tents for the PCT

[TrailR at aol.com]

Starting next week, I will have more info on "Tarptents". My outfitter in  
Greenville, 
SC (Appalachian Outfitters) will be selling them. I believe only 1 other  
"outfitter" 
(in Oregon) carries them in an actual store front. 
The Contrail was my choice, based on the web site data.

I really like my Henry Shires Tarptent Contrail 1, 24 oz with  floor.  It was 
excellent in its simplicity on the CDT last  year, there's practically 
nothing to break and only 4 stakes.  I've heard  of a problem with the Tarptent 
Rainbow in high winds.  I  used a Tarptent Virga and a Six Moon Designs (SMD) 
Europa II for the PCT  in '04, and liked the Tarptent better.  Lots of Henry's 
Tarptents  on the PCT that year.  The new SMD tents sound like an improvement  
over the older ones, lots of folks seem to be trying  them.
