Thanks, enjoyed the report. How much of a test did the tent get and how did you like it?

The weather was too good to test it much, unfortunately. The winds we got didn't even shake it, and we didn't get any precipitation. It feels really solid so I'm kind of looking forward to using it in a storm. I do love setting it up - poles on outside, it all goes up at once, no chance of the inner getting wet. It's really roomy for a two person backpacking tent too. Of course, at over 4 lbs it's also on the heavier side of two person backpacking tents but I like being confident in my gear.

Great report, thanks for sharing. The last time I was on that trail I came across a hiker that accidentally shot himself with a 40mm handgun. Nothing like applying direct pressure on a stranger's backside.

Thank you for the good report! Angleworm is a beautiful lake and the trail is challenging. I hiked the entire trail in one day about 10 years ago. I would like to visit again and take a more leisurely trip like you did to soak in the area.

I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don’t know what’s on the other end. Your imagination is under there. Robert Altman
