What size is the one you ordered, Smoke?  Same as Craig's -- 8½ feet?

(I assume Craig meant 8.5'...)

Next Rally is there going to be a two legged ladder race? Every one should have one by then.... There should be a fun way for entertainment with these.

Want super light weight, packable and cost is not a factor.

 

Look no further than a Matbock12 Ben's, but whose counting!

No-Mark-the 12 footer like yours-on sale-buy another one - that's why I went for it!  Saved $96.00 on the original price-a latter race at the next rally? What next and where is it going to be?

How often do you need to access the roof while on trips?




I've often been heard saying" we don't need no stinking ladders" only because I'm so tall.

Never, since I don't have a ladder or steps. If I had a ladder, I'd store stuff on the roof and then need the ladder. I think I'll just limp along without one : :wacko:

Well, the only times i needed to get on my roof when it was up &  was camping  was when II did something stupid first :ph34r: like when (1) I forgot to check (make sure I had enough slack)  the solar wires before I put the roof up and pulled them out :wacko:  and had to plug them in again and( two) forgot to put enough roof seal  around the base(s)  of my new solar panels and the roof leaked when of course it rained the first time I used them :blink:  and I needed to reseal the 'em, and then  I went on the roof from the truck's  cab/roof.   But I could not resist a $89.00  12 1/2 foot telescoping but heavy latter :) . Now what Bob says is right, where do I put the dang thing, the roof? I know I will need it one day out in the boonies, so want to bet, that's the day I leave  it home :P, right?  Stupid is stupid does ;) ! But what a deal :D !

It might be a good thing to have in heavily populated bear country for hanging your food in a tree, or for getting into a tree to hunt without a tree stand or get up a rock face easier...
