oh, great, thanks for the posts. and dan, i'll pm you my email. thanks a bunch. the only problem i have is transporting a home made hut. we have a caravan and a toyota matrix.. not sure if it can fit? the weight of it wont worry me too much as it will be on a sled and im sure i can carry 100 lb myself. otherwise, worse comes to worse, i'll buy one of them lightweight collapsible ones! any recommendations, looking for 2 persons one. =)
