 MW -Off to china again?
No, I'm now in Beijing, killing time before flying back to the UK tonight. Xinjiang is no longer a good place to be and, having been bitten by a potentially rabid dog in Tibet a couple of weeks ago, this seems like a good time to pop back. I'm intending converting a GoLite groundsheet, as I'm unable to conceive of using one without some kind of bathtub configuration. I'll probably go for a diagonal cut, slicing off two of the corners. If anyone wants the offcuts, let me know.

.JPG) I guess it must be have different atmosphere since the riots brought things to a head hope the dog bite isn't a bad one. Re the full groundsheet - I think Bob C originally tried one where he cut a line from the door towards the centre, and finished the cut edges- then he could roll it back for a cooking/wet gear space, or keep it full for more dry space.

Yeah, there were good reasons for staying there, but when the police start actively stopping you from going into the hills, it's time to leave.

hi have facility to weigh items under 600gram at work on calibrated scales but wondered if anyone had a genuine weight for outer...... pole weighs 363 grams pegs 14 gram each and middle section off pole(bit with holes in) weighs 80 grams ,can be used to connect to poles together peter
|
|
 You mean just the fly, Peter? My SL3 outer weighs 730g
|
|
 Does the 2009 SL3 really need to be seam sealed? If any rain gets through the seams would it not just run down the inside in the same way that condensation would/does?
|

There's only one way to find out Tim!

sean thanks for info on weigth off outer..is that inner all material? where did you get it i thoght they were all mesh.not long bought my outer and not had chance to use it yet but off in 2 weeks so plan to get out then either here in lakes or with some luck scotland how heavy is inner many thanks for any more info you have peter
|

is that inner all material? where did you get it? Peter there is a clue is in the last 2 words of this thread's subtitle
The weight of a full size fabric inner won't be much difference from the mesh inner - about a kilo hald inners should weigh - just over half of that...
My Hex outer weighs 680g....
|
|
does anyone sell these diy solid inners ? i know bob(backpacking light) is planing to sell a half nest but not sure if it will be solid or mesh peter
|

joyohh joy nearly finished my shift pattern. and have found that the inner from my atko fits perfectly into shangri-la two bits off 2 mm bunge cord on tabs on inside off outer allow you to fasten onto top two clips off atko inner. 4 or 5 pegs to hold shape perfect ..well pole is in middle off door but otherwise made for the job .have weight somewhere will try and find it again
|

Peter - sounds useful - for Akto and SL3 owners!- any chance of a photo sometime?
|
|
as soon as i get a dry day weight is 495 grams as well which is nice also find that the yellow inner SEEMS to make it feel warmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
