[pct-l] Not a tarp or a tent, it's a pyramid shelter

[Deems]

I've owned and carried many forms of shelters over the last 40 years. In 
1976, I carried a tarp on my short PCT hike. From that one pound tarp I've 
added to my gear closet a great 12 lb winter geodesic dome tent that fits 
four, a Sierra Designs Wilderness, a gortex bivy bag,  a Chouinard Pyramid 
shelter, a Bibler, a North Face Westwind, an Integral Designs silshelter, 
and recently I've carried the ultralight Shires tarptent Squall and Rainbow 
shelters. I have had my share of bad rain and windstorms in my tarps, bivy, 
Squall and Rainbow, and this year I'm moving into a Mountain Laurel Design 
Duomid pyramid style shelter. The pyramid is a very ancient sturdy design 
that goes back to Egypt and one the plains Indian's chose for their teepees. 
Although, I can't lay in bed and see the stars, I may be able to receive 
cosmic waves from space; but when the skies open up with rain and the winds 
go insane, my 15 ounce Duomid will hold firm and stay in place, and I'll be 
safe inside.
