First Trip

Well ya'll I just got back from my first shake down trip. All went well. I found a few things I wanted to change , but no big deal. I was camping down to 14 degrees. It was cold but doable. All the work was worth it. By the way , I weighted it and it came in at 960#. More than I had oped but still ok. Thanks everybody for all the help. And I'm sure I'll see you down the road.

Wow!! 960#.... I looked at your entire build thread, and would have said no more than 600-700# Where's all the weight? BTW/ nice job!!
