Here is a picture of some thru-hikers inside my 20 foot dome which I sewed last month with help from y'all. It was basically fine although the places where 3 fabrics came together leaked at first. I want to do it again but next time: keep all stitches vertical and never stitch more than 2 fabrics together.

cheers, manzana in Austin

Looks pretty cool. Looks like it could be a little heavy to carrying in your backpack with those metal poles. LOL

Those metal poles are steel. The whole sucker with floor comes in at a whopping 160 pounds. Needless to say, the campsite wasn't too far from a road. 8-)
