Vince,
I've used the tarp method myself to make a tent. Especially since unless its near the car I don't want to carry that 4 man tent that I got. Weights more then everything else I carry (but the food and water) combined.

Yes a Hootchie or tarp doesn't weight much, but my 4 man tent is a commercial camping tent that weights 15 pounds or so I think.

Daniel, have a look at this thread mate. Should answer most of your questions and there is also a number of good links in there.
Packs and Frames - Any Suggestions
Cheers, Vince

Dan,
I carry alot of weight too while hiking its just adding extra weight on top of that is alot. After all I do carry about 12.5 pounds of water alone (6 quarts or 1.5 Gal) at times.
As for the nick name some reason I think Bushy gave me it! (someone else may correct me on this if I'm wrong I've had CRS for too long to remember things like this)
