    Really, a mix of both I guess. But I am wanting a Kelty's Noah tarp. It can be set up in a few different ways depending on your needs. Not my pics.

    My sleeping situation is in flux right now actually. I'm making a new sleeping platform, changing my hammock setup, and actually just installed a rook rack (planning on having a platform up there too :) ). I'll post something up when it get closer to being complete! :thumbsup:

    As for dehydrated food, I do my own. Tastes way better than that prepackaged stuff.

    @TXpro4X4 ps. Dinky lakes is nearly 2 hours from Fresno.
