The more I look into lightweight stuff these days,it's just like camping when I was a kid.I'm starting my second childhood and camping with crap I can find at the surplus stores.At this very moment I'm in the middle of making a "high tech" 2 pound A-frame type tent with parachute material(silnylon) and 2 aluminum sticks.

Same kinda sticks my Boy Scout tent had when I was 10,same kinda pointy tent sort of,except the sticks are in the wrong place,and they're $30 a pop. $60.00 tree branches.....

The only difference between now and then is the fancy materials.......and it hurts to crawl around on my hands and knees and stand back up........but other than that.
