Well, I have made my next big gear purchase. I bought a brand new MSR Hubba single person tent from a hiker on one of the trail websites I look at. He was selling it as this was a give away to him from his outfitter after he had already purchased another tent. He invited me to speak with him on the phone and send me any photos. I have no doubt this is a good deal. I will save almost $75. No warranty, but MSR is well respected in the field. This tent weighs in at less than 3 lbs! A good thing since my pack is 6 pounds to begin with. I think of different packs, but I like what I have. The new tent will be very good in poor weather conditions. Next... I need a good sleeping bag.
