pastorjsackett	01/22/2018 08:48AM   I just got invited on a one night camp out and need to buy/rent/borrow a sled and cover. My partner has a lot of other gear but I could use a gear list to look at what I possibly need to bring. Can I get a little help out there? Thanks! PJS

If you use duffel bags, you don't need a cover. " I agree 100% on your choice. Used similar sled for 30 years. No cover but like a waterproof pack or duffel bag and or waterproof liners. The only thing you might not on your own have the right harness or poles hooked up to the sled. If your not going in to far a rope will do in the pinch but not as good in many situations.
