P1020160.JPG

I also found my black diamond Lighthouse, when looking for the netting that goes with the tarp. Seen on the right here.

It was a little heavy, and I was getting wet in it more than I used to. Black Diamond said it was conditions, but it did not bead water off the outside like it used to, which might not make it leak but could stop it from breathing. I forget if they said if I could use a DWR.

Soon after I had it in a very windy place wait to see the night sky. It flatten. I think I had it guyed out, and tried to do it better but that did not work and I could not hold it up and get it down, so I made the mistake of trying to take a pole out and it broke and immediately tore thru the fabric. Decided it was not worth saving, not sure why I still have it, I could use floor for ground sheet, mesquite netting of . . .

It was nice when It worked, vertical walls, nice view which closed up easily from inside the tent, while still venting at the top. Used it once skiing around Crater Lake, blocked the wind pretty well, I let it ventilate pretty wide open had warm sleeping bag.

Door unzipped onto the ground getting inside of door wet, or into the tent get the tent wet!
