I made a tyvek tent. I was supposed to do it last year but a change of jobs kept me from the high hunt.
I will post pics and let you know how it works.
I also have a new stove set up. Pocket rocket with optimus terra kit. All with fuel is 1lb 10oz. Boils water super fast.
32oz of water to a rolling boil in 90 seconds!

I don't know that I've ever had the need to boil 32oz of water when in the field.  "optimus terra kit' for a Pocket Rocket?

The 32 oz was just for the test. I only boil 2 cups...4 at the most at a time. The point is that you don't need to carry as much fuel and that it will last much longer...
I'll tell the rest of the story when i'm back on the 25th.
