[pct-l] Big Agnes Carbon Fiber Tent Poles

[montypct]

Hey Switchback

That looks like a pretty neat tent, full view, free standing, seperate rain 
fly, bathtub floor and all to hit the 2 lb. barrier.
Have you used it yet?  Looks very low condensation too. ??  Are the stakes 
and everything else included in that 2 lbs.?

Switchback keeps digging and he keeps finding gold.

Monty
