Re: Cimarron-who has one?
I brought mine for a test drive in the back yard last night with my two boys. I pitched it close to the ground to see how bad the condensation would be and it was almost nil. It was fairly windy and 5-6 degrees. It sure started flapping around in the wind, so I extended the pole in the middle of the night and it quiet down quite a bit, once again I’m sure the guy lines would’ve helped with this. Definitely not enough room for 4 guys my size and gear, but two adults and a smaller person would be ok(for full disclosure I didn’t set the guy lines, because there isn’t always somewhere to tie off so I left it as is). There’s a good amount of room if the weather turns shitty and you get stuck inside or changing clothes etc getting in and out of your sleeping bag.
Last night really reminded me how much I need a new sleeping pad though. Maybe Father’s Day or my birthday willl bring one. I’m also going to see about sewing up a pillow case that I could maybe stuff my blow up pillow in one side and stuff a down jacket or shirts In the other for something nicer to rest my head on. Kind of a double layer set up.
Im still deciding on a stove. I’m leaning towards getting a lite outdoors stove or the g-stove. I can’t really decide if I’ll use the stove for backpacking or more for quad trips.
