I haven't read any reviews where people comment on their resistance to long and heavy water exposures, so I guess they should be just fine =) Please update me if you find out something about it.

And you doesn't have to search for even ground nor worry about land buggs. Hope you get a great trip. //Erik For southamerica and any other hot country with alot of vegitation I would consider a jungel hammock, got one myselves from: http://hennessyhammock.com/

You're only on your first entry but I've aleady learnt so much just reading your blog so far! I know I sound silly to you and all the other experienced campers, but I've learnt plenty about tents, and packing and bikes and cycling and South America! And most importantly, I've learnt about your motivations and what you want to get out of this trip...=) You couldn't have summed up my own beliefs better than in your first couple of paragraphs in "The trip". But all the other reasons you gave are so much more well thought-out than I could have mustered, and more importantly,you ACTED on these motivations and are truly well on your way to starting the adventure of your lifetime! You are living your dream Carl - and I am very happy to be able to partake in a little bit if it, albeit vicariously.=) BIG FAT HUGS for the rest of your preparations and I can't wait to read more!!!!!!!!!! p.s. gd luck on your thesis too!! love, gerrie!

I didn't consider it due to the absence of an abside, which I think is very appreciated in times of steady rain. But I guess both are great tents. Are you gonna start in BA? I'm flying to Ushuaia the 4th. Do you also have a blog? Keep in touch! Carl-David Hi Ray!

I'm undecided between that and the Soula. BTW, I'm landing in Buenos Aires Dec 4 to begin my South American tour. Perhaps we'll run into each other along the way. Safe riding, Ray Hi Carl,
