Shocking twist Teen is actually a progressive who just does this periodically because he loves the way it brings his neighborhood together for a good cause . <| sep |> They may take or roads . But they ' ll never take our sheep <| sep |> Payback is a bitch <| sep |> I really liked having a tent for bugs in California . There were some days in the Sierra I used it for taking breaks in . Though most nights where I just cowboy camped until about MidOregon . Then the rain started nearly all the way through Washington . It would have been fairly miserable not being able to keep my gear at least somewhat dry . With one person tents like then BA Bitter Springs being just over 2 pounds it ' s worth the weight in my opinion . You could drop any extra clothesnon warming layers and probably make up for the weight difference between a tarp setup and tent . Or just roll with the two pounds and not worry . The miles will end up coming easy either way .
