	I run a CCS (Cooke) lean shelter also....I add a "floor" with an additional tarp. While is not free standing it is a breeze to set up. It has been in use during heavy rains and we stayed dry....the sod cloth with an additional tarp (coated) has kept me and mine literally a float. The weight to space ratio is bar none. I am though thinking about adding some wing sides on both sides of the door. A big shelter...

	Marlin55388- will have to look further into the Cooke Sewing Lean to set up. I see you can get a screen door added. I will have to convince my buddies that this type of tent will stay "bug free" and "rain free". I like the light weight for its size.

	Mad_Mat- Thanks, I do like Mountain Hardware quality. Looked on-line: 12 lbs 11 oz. nice weight for size. One drawback is that it is 12 ft 5 in. x 8 ft 1 in. It would probably be a tad too wide @ 12 ft for tent pads in Quetico. Looks like a lot of good price deals to be had on tents during Christmas shopping time.

	Windsailor- good one!!! .... you are absolutely right. It's time to split up the ole gang. We have all been friends for 20+ years but a little bit of space for each other is in order. Looks like I will have to start researching 3 man tents. Any reccomendations?

	Wally I usually sleep outside under the tarp in a bug screen and sometimes with out, I do bring a "MRS Fling" for back up its very lite and good size for a two man. It is single wall tent, I 've come to the conclusion that rain flies are over rated an add extra wieght. I also have a Mountain Hardware Hammer Head 3 for colder trips, but that one is a little heavy for general use. //Windsailor
