[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 221460, member: 4683"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Look forward to the picture.. I went over to backcountry.com and looked at the MSR twin sisters -looks good. The ''snow skirt'' around the bottom is a feature i've been looking into ,a guy "woodswalker" well known for doing some good gear reviews has commented on the fact that if a tent doesn't seal close to the ground it won't make a nice winter heated tent.That snow skirt on the twin sisters tent is a good find -thanks- very reasonable too. Got any pictures of the MSR in action w/ ti-goat stove? I have a ti-goat cylinder stove also- w/ the 6ft. pipe ,do you have any problems w/it burning tiny holes in any of the fabric on you tents? I might get a shorter titanium pipe -they weren't offered in titanium when i bought mine. I did some reading somewhere? and ran across an article about making equipment out of "tyvek" ,I have a couple of ground sheets made fron it . I dyed it by soaking it in the washer for several hours ,then just washed it a normal cycle and it made a soft quiet nice cheap ground cloth. Anyway i read this on a site called ''white blaze.com'' the guy writing in the thread was from montana and had made tents etc. etc. and was very happy with them.Sounds pretty interesting if you have some spare time as i do. Supposedly you can use the ''tyvek'' and a roll of the tyvek tape -lay out whatever you want tape it inside and out -then wash/dye and bam you got a cheap nice high performance tent.The taped seams are stronger than the tyvek material itself. I do construction work and see leftover rolls thrown in the dumpster here and there -next time i'm gonna do a little dumpster diving- root it out of there and get some tape -and see what i can come up with. Once it's dyed and washed it looks like a fabric not paper . I'm going to try and build a hammock tent that i can lay in and tend to a fire from the hammock. A typical A-frame tent that goes between two trees just like the hammock -might be pretty cool.If i burn a hole in it i won't lay down in the floor and cry either.... That kifaru equipment is sure nice i just have to watch my pennies until the economy turns around. Talk to you later -Mike [/QUOTE]
