    Yeah, it's a 2-person 4-season, 4 poles and sleeves (eather than hooks) for stability in wind/snow. It takes a little effort to set it up, but that's a 4-season for you. You point the foot end into the wind, and it's like an airfoil. Has a fly, of course, too, lots of stakes, pole repair sleeves, and original TNF paperwork. A zippered vent window/screen at the foot end for good head-to-foot ventilation. Two interior mesh pockets, plus at least 6 interior hanging loops for a haning loft, drying lines, hanging lights, etc.

    Price? I dunno? Make me an offer!

    Throw in the camping couch in the foreground and we got a deal.

    So I while back I was researching for gluten free backpacking foods and found a company called Alpine Aire. Ironically they are located about 20 miles from me but I had never heard of them. :/
    I contacted them to see about getting some of their products to try out when they told me that they were working on a deal with REI. So I picked this up tonight to try on my trip this weekend...I have a backup meal planned just in case. There wasn't a great selection of meals available just yet but I hope to give them some feedback.

    It's hard enough finding good backpacking food, let alone gluten free. Must be an adevneture in taste buds.

    We're pretty happy with the Moutain House chili mac, beef stroganoff, and chicken teriyaki ProPacks vaccuum packs. Easier to fit into the bear can. Although very tasty and efficient for space and calories, I think they are pretty gluten-intensive. :notsure:

    Most of those meals do have wheat - either in the form of pasta or hidden in the spice mixes and sauces. Some of the gluten free foods are awful tasting...it will be interesting to see what a dehydrated gluten free meal tastes like! :laugh:
