<DIV>I bought a GoLite Chrome Dome with the thought of using it</DIV>
<DIV>going across the Great Divide Basin from Rawlins to South Pass</DIV>
<DIV>City later this summer. I’ve only used it around the
neighborhood</DIV>
<DIV>in the rain earlier in the fall and it works well even with up to</DIV>
<DIV>about a 15mph wind. </DIV>
<DIV>I set up to try it out a few days ago with my new pack in prep</DIV>
<DIV>for the April start at Crazy Cook. I’ll also be using 2 trek
poles</DIV>
<DIV>so I wanted to figure a way to hold the umbrella on the pack</DIV>
<DIV>straps and to use it hands free.</DIV>
<DIV>The solution that I came up with was pretty much the same as</DIV>
<DIV>Scott Williams except that when I just had it go behind my sternum </DIV>
<DIV>strap it would slide sideways very easily. My solution was to
wrap</DIV>
<DIV>an overhand knot around the umbrella shaft to lock it in position.</DIV>
<DIV>I also used a mini biner through the bottom loop and around my</DIV>
<DIV>waist belt. It seems pretty rock solid like that. I did find
that my</DIV>
<DIV>Sternum Strap was a little short so I replaced it with a longer web</DIV>
<DIV>to allow for more adjustability. If it still moves too much in wind
I</DIV>
<DIV>can wrap a Clove Hitch around the shaft and that should lock it</DIV>
<DIV>in very well. </DIV>
<DIV>With such an early start (April 1 ) we shouldn’t hit the higher temps
that</DIV>
<DIV>those starting a month later than us will see. </DIV>
<DIV>I got the Chrome Dome idea from rereading Ray Jardine’s book.</DIV>
<DIV>After living in California for 43 years I have a lot of sun damage
and</DIV>
<DIV>will NOT be hiking in short sleeves and shorts.</DIV>
