[QUOTE="jmden, post: 184071, member: 1742"] Thanks, hillajam. Since it's a 'first of it's kind' prototype, it probably took much longer than if I started to make them regualrly--probably 40 hrs at least all told. Alot of scale drawing to make sure of certain dimensions before I started to cut the first panels, etc. Everything is totally designed from scratch and you run into problems along the way and have to change this or that. But, it's working very well now and I've got my very lightweight, warm elk camp!...with a floor and bugproof and some adj. venting, unlike Kifaru designs. I posted a couple of pics on [url=http://good-times.webshots.com/album/562006295Toqrji?start=12]Hunting Backpacking Equipment, etc. pictures from friends & fun photos on webshots[/url] of the first one I made last year, both designs are very different. The silnylon is very slick and rain and snow seem to just slide right off as you mention. [/QUOTE]
