[pct-l] tarps vs. tents

[Tow, Doug]

For what it's worth, my brother and I are sharing the weight of a Big
Agnes Copper Spur UL3, as our heights make it problematic to fit in a
two-person.  We like it because it's up or down in three minutes,
provides as bulletproof rain and bug protection as anything else, and
has some nice head and vestibule room.  Downside is the two pounds per
person, and the need for a larger pitching site.  Mind you, this is for
Oregon only at present.
 
Oh, our wives thought we could get away with Lars and Ole as trailnames
(for our Norwegian forbears).  We thought, ok, it sounds better than
Clueless Neophytes...but I am sure the trail community will provide.
 
Doug (and Bruce)
