badlands is made in vietnam and i seriously doubt big agnes is made in the USA.

i can. custom work is my favorite.

and dyneema really is a good tent fabric in my opinion. very strong and easy to work with.

this gridstop x is waterproof and i installed waterproof ykk zippers on both doors. i figure, if you're...

they are not for everybody but after many attempts at finding my ideal back country lodging, this is the best that i could come up with. the simplicity of the shape is tolerant of so many different...

a picture sure would help the diagnosis. my guess without seeing the damage is that you need to cut out the bad spot, dress the cut out edges with a light layer of silicone or tear mender, let that...

the Bighorns are a real gem... i will spend the rest of my days near them.

here is a photo of the prototype 5 man tipi under construction...

100% agreed.

tipis are one of the only lightweight tent styles that you can convert as a woodstove capable tent. the stovejack install on them is easier since there is usually no floor and therefore slightly more...

the white tipi is my own personal 5 man and the canopy with a stovejack and single door weighs only 26 oz.

here is one of my latest...
