[QUOTE="jmden, post: 182593, member: 1742"] I'll start another one here with some ideas and pics for folks to add to. Hopefully we can generate a worthwhile 'database' for folks that are considering a backpack hunting tent. [IMG]http://inlinethumb54.webshots.com/40117/2461284520068902019S500x500Q85.jpg[/IMG] Kifaru knock-off with integral floor and "bug-proof" design. 10' dia. by 7' tall. Tent, pole and 16 stakes weigh just about 6.5 lbs. Stove is another 3 lbs.
