So even at 240 lbs, having 3 sections of fence rail is strong enough????

You know, I thought I had read that somewhere. I thought it was ray jardine but Im pretty sure his packs are water proof. I use a rain coat that covers the whole pack, so that just might work! ( I...

I did the same thing! I did take one precaution- in between the split ridge lines and the tarp, I made a thick loop of shock cord ( doubled several times) so it acts as a shock absorber- incase the...
