[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Vol 6, Issue 46

[David J Thibault]

Henry has a new tent coming out in about a month or so that I'm planning on
getting for my hike next year.

 It  is called the sublite.  It is not on his web site yet but should show
up soon,  It's a little smaller than the Rainbow and weighs less.

Looked like a good option for the PCT.  He has a sil nylon and tyvek
version of this tent in the works.

Thanks for the comments so far everyone. I have been researching the
tarptents as well.
Honestly I have been wavering between the Contrail and the Lunar. The
Rainbow looks
like a great option as well. I am partial to side entrances.  I have read
several reviews where
the user had trouble with set-up, especially keeping these tents taut. It
probably just takes
some time getting used to.

I think the shelter  will be my toughest gear decision.
