The Fly.
« on: September 04, 2010, 09:17:26 PM »
I am trying to shave weight more so than I ever have.   Idabooner created a fly YEARS ago for hunting elk down in the Blues.   he made it out of parachute.  Its as light as it gets.   I am going to put it to use, probably 30 years after he made it.   I am leaving the tent behind.  I hope this doesn't bit me in the arse.   A couple other things I am leaving behind are my extra flashlight, and my 2nd knife.   I hope I get a couple pics.  Thought seriously about leaving the camera behind as well.  :chuckle:

A tent is nothing more than a glorified fly with a floor and some zippers in some cool places.  You'll be fine.  Good luck!

I have used this when I wanted to lighten my pack. Very light, waterproof and nice

I have called in some really big bulls in the blues. Unfortunately I did not have a bull tag only spike tags. Usually some nice animals by the ski area  and up by Godman. Good luck. Beautiful area over there
