Well, I really don't know how I missed this thread.

BM, that looks like a nice piece of kit.

BrianA, you pice of kit looks really well built and already has the things that I would need. I understand the reason for bright colors, but I might have to see what colors are available that are more neutral.

I do appreciate the links, because at the moment I carry a West german tarp/pup tent and it is a little heavy and bulky. I can always make my own poles out in the field.

Thanks again, and look forward to BM's write up and thoughts when he gets his in.
