    I've heard that it's the roomiest bivy, but probably the only way to know for sure is to make one out of some cheap material and try it yourself. Maybe an old bedsheet...

    Get them while you can. Word is, they've been discontinued and are replaced with standard looking cans. I haven't found any of the old ones around here.

    Tomato powder: I know I can order it online, but could I get a can of tomato sauce from the grocery store and dehydrate it, and then throw it in a blender? Would that give the same result?

    Thanks for the reply, Tinker. Good to know that 6 inches works for you. Now on the other hand, I recently found a post on BPL where Ron Bell himself recommends an 8" neck.

    The original Jerry chair is not that much different from yours, though probably quite a bit easier to put together in the field.
