Title: Re: Baker Tents Anyone? Post by solotripper on Mar 14th, 2011 at 5:48pm
I don't use the Baker tent, but my " rig" of choice is sorta the same thing. A dry-fly with a solo tent for a " ground cloth/bug screen" is pretty close, but the advantage too my mind, is that if conditions warrant, I can separate the sleeping arrangements from the " tarp" one.
I can see why the CCS Lean is a popular choice among us ground dwellers, if that's not a concern of yours. Anyone who has used ropes and had them loosen or found it hard to get extra slack out of, would be well served learning/using the Truckers Hitch. All my tarp/food pack knots are made with it. The mechanical advantage you gain, slight as it maybe, really makes a difference over a knot without one IMHO. |
