[at-l] Tent Pitching and Other dirty thoughts

[dfaddleton@mindspring.com (David)]

Well, there's the old tarp and hammock trick that sets up well in the rain

And cook.
And sleep off the ground.
And no need of a level spot, in fact, rather steep coves sheltered from the
wind serve this set up well in a storm.
