      I and the dog can provide feedback on how your design works in CO, UT, and ID mountains.

    • I got my hour of garage time and finished up my latest creation I call my Green StealthOne. 12.3 ozs before seam sealing. This one is made of 1.1 silnylon with what I would call micro ripstop as you can barely see the grid.



      On another note, if anyone would like to try out the other one I made just like this one out of the brown membrane silpoly let me know and I will box it up and send it to you. I ask that if you like it and want to keep it, send me $95 via PayPal, that's almost half of what a similar MLD Patrol would cost. If you don't like it, put it back in the box and send it back to me- you'll only be out about $6 for shipping.

      Here's the membrane silypoly:

      Plant a tree
      Take a kid hiking
      Make a difference
