I'll agree the BCS is (mostly) better than the SL5, but what specifics made you go for the upgrade?

Two doors, more usable space, and the fact that I sold my SL5 for a bit more than what I had originally paid three years ago.  So I was able to reset the usage clock with minimal incremental cost.

I was really close on just buying the Sawtooth.

I went with the sawtooth and am expecting it next week.  When I get it, I'll throw up some pictures.

Here's the last camp I had on weeknight trip between work. Tarp has become my new favorite when the bugs aren't bad.

Glad to hear. I used the SynMat Winterlite in the MW size on a Grand Canyon trip in March and found it be super comfortable and very warm. Hope you find the same on any trips you have with it.

From a recent trip in the eastern Pasayten doing some trail clearing. We were camped just below Windy Peak.

My back hurts just looking at that rack in the background!  Well done
