The Scarp 1 certainly does not seem to have the problem of sloping ends, and I like the piccie showing the rucksack standing up in the vestibule (when wild camping, I prefer to have all my gear inside the tent footprint). <br /><br />I have tried the Laser and Laser Competition before, and they were uncomfortable wrt height. This is a shame, as they are also the most available for testing.<br /><br />The Scarp 1 does appear to be about 12 cm taller, which would be useful as I have short legs and a long body (yes, I am that odd).<br /><br />Methinks it is time to do some hard thinking and investigation before next spring...David Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662508558674678268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896552808274455196.post-63704804784121487462010-12-05T19:25:05.342+00:002010-12-05T19:25:05.342+00:00Being 6'2 the Scarp 1 Is ideal.

Next on the list is a MLD DuoMid or my new toy a Traistar to offer another shelter option. The 2C is superb choice.Martin Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719332121719827761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896552808274455196.post-84538611348051712302010-12-05T16:02:36.855+00:002010-12-05T16:02:36.855+00:00I think you will find that Henry Shires of Tarpten...I think you will find that Henry Shires of Tarptent does this already David. An example can be found following this link:<br /><br />http://www.tarptent.com/scarp1_2.html<br /><br />If you want a roomy tent that weighs 1205grams with big heavy duty pegs and stuffsac that is one of the strongest tents in the world look no further than Stepehenson's Warmlite 2C. I havev had one for almost four years now. It's cavernous and plenty long and tall enough. You can find it all over my blog by using the search facility on the blog.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.com
