FYI I called about renting one earlier this year & they said they don't do that anymoreIf not backpacking in and wouldn't use it every year, can rent one from Beau at:
Tents - Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas
Llamas are often called the Beast of Burden. With Pack Llamas, Go Farther, Stay Longer, and Hunt Harder!wildernessridgetrailllamas.com
Until you forget your stove and zero degree bagUnnecessary but nice. I think the days of serious snow and cold weather in October are long gone.
