[pct-l] Pct-L Digest, Vol 47, Issue 5

[Russell Mease]

Hello,

Does anybody have feedback on Tarptent's Contrail?  At 24.5 Oz it is the
right weight but I have some concerns:
- How does it stand up in the desert?  Specifically if you have a sandy
bottom and therefore no place to drive stakes?  I suppose I would just
sleep under the stars in that case.
- The pole coming down in the middle of the entrance looks like it would be
annoying.  Has this been a problem for anybody?
- Is there enough room with the wind-flap down to store all your gear
comfortably?
- How did this tent hold up in wet weather?

Thanks for any feedback you can provide.  I am doing the PCT in 2012 NOBO
and am interested is this held up for anybody throughout their thru-hike.
 If you have other tent's you recommend I would be interested as well.

Thanks All!
