Dear Supporters:

Thank you for a great first day! We really appreciate your interest and support for this innovative new portaledge, and we are very much looking forward to supplying each and every portaledge backer with the finest stronger and lighter portaledge available today.  And many thanks also to the supporters who opted for the Buddy Bag, patches, and decal rewards--so much appreciated!

As of mid-day on Day 2, we only have seven more portaledges available for 2017 delivery, so please share with your friends who might need a portaledge for their vertical camping adventures.  By the way, this is also the first portaledge truly suitable for tree-camping thanks to its rigidity even in a tree-loading situation where all the forces are on on point of the frame, thanks to the hybrid diameter larger middle tube of the D4 design.  So tell your tree-camping friends as well!

Today I finished the initial pattern for the Haulsack, and I was very pleased with the new fit of the ledge,  fly and flypole all in its compact zippered haulable pack.  Along with its lighter weight, the smaller packed size really makes this system tempting to bring even on the most minimal camping excursions.

Version 3 of the Haulsack--still a prototype but coming along. Very compact--inside is the ledge, fly and flypole.

Thanks again for your support, and please keep spreading the word, as we do hope to establish our company further with lots of new ideas on the table for fun outdoor tools.

PS.  Here is the way the haulsack works again for reference--the way the ledge and fly can be integrated enables full stormproof deployment in minutes.
