Very nice.
That's top shelf materials and design.
I remember being the first to custom order a color.
The previous company did a special dye run.
That was the color. The most natural available in my opinion. I like it.
I wish I ordered the half or three quarter oz / yard weight for projects like this at the time.

Yeah I’ve got a couple of dozen nights with it now; cost a pretty penny, but I’m very happy with it. Had it out a couple of nights above tree line with some pretty intense winds (put rocks on all the stakes) and it held up fine.

Even that light weight has been proven to last years and handle storms surprisingly well from what others report.
I looked up your model and the ventilation looks like it should work well. Does condensation drip to the outside?

for the most part- there is a low perimeter of netting (as well as a vent up high) that works pretty well reducing condensation. The corners you can open (or close) for additional venting.

Also most nights I can roll back one side of the vestibule

I keep a small microfiber cloth handy just in case.

tough trip through paradise 50-ish miles and 13,000' of gain in 2.5 days- high temps and miles of blowdown, made us earn it!

Any looking for some motivation or wanting to practice sucking air....You tube....Josh Bridges, "Pay the Man."

^ he gets after it!

Heart chart for one of his 5 set interval workouts, with a minute rest between sets....would have been finished in maybe 5min less, but one of the neighbors stopped to talk...I was looking for air a few times...




This was a 5 hour workout that I would prefer not to repeat....I needed to get up and down the driveway...the tree people will be getting the remainder..



The Deer have been freeloading for 2 days.....

^ that'll whip a guy into shape

Thursday's cruise in the Elkhorns- 23.5 miles and 6300' of gain, a lot of it off trail and a lot of it on [bleep], unmaintained trail. Jumped two giant bulls in some really rough country- no wonder they get big!!!!

we completed a traverse of the Elkhorn Mountains over the weekend bagging the five highest peaks en route- 28 miles, 8400' of gain and 18 hours on our feet- really tough, lots of blowdown to negotiate and miles of rock, but I think I'm getting ready for elk season

Wuz workout compared to the above MtWarden......but was sucking for wind.

Fast 15 cal on the elliptical, 10 rep BP at 150, fast 15cal on rower, 16 x 20 pound wall balls, 10 lat pulldowns at 100...completed as fast as I can

Rest 90 seconds, then repeat times 5.

20minute slow walk on treadmill to finish...

2 runs, 2 rides, and 2 weight workouts this week. No west hunts this year but never to soon to get ready for next year. I've been cheating my body too much this year...

true this!

just so no one is thinking this guy must be slacking

I was just thinking to myself "the warden ain't posted in a while, I bet he's slacking."

My ending mileage for 2021, was 1204 miles, more than it 2020, Started on 2022 yesterday.. If your young, that's a pretty easy goal, I turned 76 in September.

@elkmen1 congrats

I ended up with 1893 miles and just under 450,000' of gain for 2021. I'm fully retired now, so I'm going for 2022 miles this year- I think it's doable. Have a couple of 100-ish mile trips in the works for this year, those really boost the mileage up
