Now you are getting close to one of my blue trap wonders. I add the extra guys using small rocks inside the trap surrounded by a slip loop. If there are any sticks around I just haul a trap & parachute cord. If no sticks then 4 poles go along. Its pretty simple and usually works well. But haul a new unfolded trap as it packs better. If you return to the same area each year just cache the trap/poles and with a new trap the following year your blue trap city can be expanded.

Hey Luke,

here is one link that I had in my favorites.    http://www.tarptent.com/  


There is a few others that are just as good, tried finding them last nite to no avail but they are out there.  Look under the projects links for plans and info on building

The other idear I had was the kifaru tarp with the vestibule.  It is stove compatable and super light weight.  WIthout the vestibule it's nothing more then a tarp.  It's definatly worth merit looking at.  I've considered it for solo sheep hunts pretty seriously and might give it a go this fall.

Another good place to lurk, lots of good info
