Looks like a classic Bibler I-tent to me. Does anyone know about the small company in Lake Oswego, Oregon that was making Bibler clones for awhile? I posted a page recently about this company, but am in need of anything else I can glean! Shadoworks sprang up in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a few miles south of Portland city center. The company's slim 1982 brochure begins, "Paul Smythe, founder of Shadoworks, is an Oregonian, a mountaineer, and a bit of a perfectionist." The tent pictured here is owned by this author, and dates from about 1983. Although I possess one of the company's slim color brochures, I have discovered no further sources of information about this small gear company. Readers are invited to contribute what they know.
