Maybe not such a bargain to go over to the states to buy.
I was thinking of getting myself a Hemlock SRT. Hemlock is in NY state. If I pick it up I have to pay 7% NY tax then when I cross the border I get hit with both provincial and federal sales tax (about 13%). I’m going to pass on buying a boat in USA as i’m going to have to add on 20% to the cost.:mad:

Above the tree line you really do need a bomb-proof tent.
You may not need it every moment of every day but on a long trip you’re sure to get some real nasty blasts.
I use a 2 man MEC Lightfield as a one man tent up there.

There are many good mountaineering tents available.
You may look at the Trango line from Mountain Hardware. For 2 people use a 3 man tent.

Once on the Horton river I seen a well tied down tent with 6 softball size rocks inside get lifted into the air and land on the opposite shoreline across the river.
