  • The Kelty Noah's Tarp 9 is an excellent lightweight shelter that can be configured many different ways. To save additional weight trekking poles can be used for the tent poles. It comes with stakes and lines and folds up exceptionally small. Being that it is a tarp it can be laid over a wing or fuselage for additional versatility. I carry one in my 17# survival bag that also includes first aid supplies, signaling, fire making, water purifying, water and survival calories. As you can see that is a lot of piece of mind for a small weight penalty.

  • Anybody know how to mark the fuel tank dip stick readings on a 12” ruler?
    Had it on my previous 170a and now my son has one
    Think I found info on 170 site but can’t find it now

  • This page (products and gear) is probably not the best place to ask a question about a specific type aircraft. Perhaps try posting in the forum: https://backcountrypilot.org/forum

  • Have a Cessna 170a
    Anybody have fuel stick markings for a standard ruler
    Had one but can’t find corresponding info
    Thanks
