Kevin,
Thanks for the info re: nest and distributers. I'm just checking things out for next year, this year is pretty well planned out. No backpacking this year and then there's knee surgery after my elk hunt at the end of Nov.
Maybe next year I'll check with you to see if one of your customers is in my area.
Nice looking products, sure a whole lot different than what I learned to backpack with: tube tents (huh?) which were a WHOLE lot lighter than the surplus canvas half shelters I used in Boy Scouts!
You young'uns have it so easy nowadays, you can probably call mom from up there on your "smart phones"!
