Oware Drawcord Bivysack Review by ireviewgear.com
“This bivy is great and just what I was looking for and affordable, water resistant yet breathable bivy that will work really well for my 3 season sleep system. After using it quite a bit I really have come to like the draw top closure and not having to worry about an ultra–light zipper snagging on the fabric. It is very simple and does exactly what I need it to do.”

Two through-hikes down and one to go for Ben and brother using Oware Pyramid!
Ben Ward sent some nice pictures. I have the tent to patch some small holes and then they are off for more hiking.

Scouts like new tarps for heavy weather and light packs
Dave,
Thanks for getting the tarps out so fast. I really appreciate it.
We put them to good use on our troop’s trek this week. We faced some of the rowdiest storms I’ve ever seen in the mountains. The boys LOVED the tarps and have total confidence in them. I don’t think they’ll ever carry a tent again.
Here’s a pic:

Sterling Coleman’s 2012 Eastern Continental Trail Journal
Customer journals about his through hike.
“Well after a very short initial research period I’ve committed to doing the Eastern Continental Trail. Let me break that trail name down for those that haven’t read the much better written and more informative journals (or online encyclopedia entries) concerning this trail. The trail is ‘Eastern’, as in occurring in the Eastern portion of the United States, ‘Continental’ as in located on a continent as opposed to the ocean, and ‘Trail’ as in a path, or in this case a loose confederation of latitudinal and longitudinal coordinate points which have agreed to be linked in linear fashion, but strongly oppose being bound by the traditional ‘trail’ notions of not being within spitting distance of a United States Highway or above permanent standing water.”

Pyramid Tarp along the Pacific Crest Trail
Sam Ward sent these photos of an Oware mid he used along the PCT. He sent sent the tent back to patch some small holes in preparation for using it while hiking the Appalachian trail this summer.
Update:
David,
Just wanted to thank you for the repairs you did on a gray 8×8 pyramid tent recently (patching, buckle replacement). Everything looked great and the tent is back on the trail for its second thru-hike, currently somewhere in the 100-mile wilderness in Maine protecting two hikers from A LOT of rain their first week. My brother and his group hiked Katahdin June 1 and started the wilderness section Saturday June 2. Thanks again for your support of hikers.
