and helium awnings from outdoor research http://www.outdoorresearch.com/home/...shelter_pocket that are nice and drab. also quite lightweight.

you'd need to add the bugnet options to these, or bring your own. I like the airflow underneath a tarp and am considering buying a bugnet insert and pitching it underneath a rectangular tarp.

also picking up some digicamo ponchos and sewing a big tarp is very effective.

I recently picked up an Integral Designs 12 ounce olive silicone tarp for stealth pitches http://www.integraldesigns.com/produ...roducttypeid=1 and like it almost as much as the digital camo tarp I sewed up out of a couple of ponchos. the camo tarp is mos' excellent at hiding your campsite.

one of the regular posters had a digicamo tarp sewn for him by the hennessy hammock people. stokell was his screen name, i believe.
Hey, Bekologist, I see skiis in one of the photos. Did you backcountry bicycle WITH your skiis? If so, how did you transport them? I would love to see a pic of your rig with the skiis!
