Mate. I’ve had the same erection since I was 12. :)

I wish I'd bought mine on sale.
I've used it exactly once.
So Gimp, what do you use?
The lightest tent you can use is the one your buddy iS carrying.
a crappy Great Outdoors cycle tent
So you guys down south need the insect protection?
Near water yes.
A mate has the prototype of this ZPacks.com Ultralight Backpacking Gear - Hexamid Duplex Cuben Fiber Tent
Seriously light, fabric does not sag and seems to go quite well.
Good points, Tussock. I doubt I'd ever be mad enough to set up an ultralight on the tippy top of a mountain. But then again I'd do my best to find somewhere sheltered with any tent :p.
The most robust, heavy as all fuck, tents can still be done in by wind even in sheltered areas, let alone on top of a mountain.
In a couple NZ Hunters ago Geig Caigou (Creed on the other forum) wrote an article on his fly, made out of cuben fiber, from Z packs as well. It doesn't stretch, so if its set up right water doesn't pool up on it or sag. My mate hasn't used his extensively and hasn't had it too long but all things point to it being good.
