Sawtooth guy extensions.

[Shawn Hultquist]

I finally got around to making some Prussic cord loops for extensions for some added ventilation and less condensations. Hopefully the high pitch mode won't be needed much. I used 1.2 mm cord and weighing out 15 pieces 30 inches long it only added 1.1 ounces. I took my piles and drilled holes in them and made up for that difference and then some. Hint be sure and use a drill bit big enough for your arrow to go through that way you a place to hang stuff and items from.

Enjoy

Looks good. Did you have to prop your rear pole up on something? Mine is too short to use typically when I have the Sawtooth up off the ground. usually I'll just use a trekking pole.

Thanks. The rear pole is a little short now but of course you can almost always find a rock or piece of wood or something while up on the mountain. What I did today though was kept spreading the rear out a little farther than normal to where it was a happy medium by not loosing air flow and wobble on the rear pole. I can use a trek pole. I'm not exactly sure on the math but I gained some cubic real estate indoors not just squared real estate.

I'm happy with it.

Nice job of it, and the benefits seem obvious. Any concerns about issues in heavy weather, or with unwanted night guests?

Not sure yet bud. All I did was put the extensions on. It's just a little warm in Florida to camp right now. For weather I would just use the regular loops. Unwanted night guest is a different story. My main concern for me is snakes

Yes same here I guess 44 mag then just break camp and ease to the truck at a really fast clip for me.

Pickled Grizzly Snouts taste like Pickled Pig Feet

If you're worried about a grizzly snout, staking to the ground isn't gonna save your bacon.
