    I find it odd that many would tolerate a pipeline going through the woods but the minute I turn on my phone to call somebody or check email I'm taking away from their experience.

    While I condone trying out a bunch at an REI type store, I never met a couple using the ZPacks Triplex that didn't love it. It seems to be just the right size for two and saves a ton of weight.
