Not sure this is the right spot for this ,if not moderators please move for me.....lol

I was given a link from a friend who works for this company in Montgomery,Al. and she informed me that this company is now selling to the public as well as the military and the forestry services. I had never heard of them but seems they have made good quality tents since 1993. I just glanced around the web site but looks interesting.

armchair tactical is also in alabama. he's in bham. he does some really good silnylon tarps and teepees. he is a smidgeon higher than some other mail order brands i've found. but hell. he's local.

as to catoma:
light weight my butt! come on?! 4 pounds for a small tent like that?! make it out of silnylon already!?

Armchair advertises great gear, but after several messages left on his website and several phone call messages that all went unreturned, I gave up on him...

His lack of attention actually drove me to find a higher quality product at a better price.
