Red I think you'll have to cut a little hatch out one end so you could fit in. :shock: :lol:

Seriously if your looking for a light weight compact tent, keep an eye open in Ebay. Good tents are way too expensive to buy new, but they often get resold on Ebay with the motto only used a few times. I picked up a MSR Zoid for about a 3rd of the retail price and it was like brand new.......and has plenty of room for the not so vertically challenged. :D

:awty Edit: Just realized this is an old post :oops:, so what did you end up getting?

Yeah, I suspect the tootsies would be poking out a fair way.

Picked up a black wolf expedition at an anaconda sale for bugger-all. Nice tent for a blackwolf.. packs up into practically nothing.

It would certainly give a new meaning to the term " having a wet dream"

That Kahuna tent... does the floor fold out somehow or do you sleep in the cockpit with a tent around you?

Talk about yak security! If someone steals your yak while you're camping at least you'll know where they take it. :lol: :lol:

:roll: It looks like the outrigger slots into rod holders. It has got me thinking on how an outrigger could be added to my yak.
