RE: [Philmont]: Philmont Dining Fly options

What did you do for grommets? I tried making a tyvek fly and couldn't get
grommets into it. Invariably any attempts cut the tyvek. As I recall, the
Philtechnique for putting up a fly involves threading line through the
center grommets, doesn't it?

    We brought a lightweight Tyvek fly last year, worked very well (though a
little noisy in the wind). Cost about $40.00 including lightweight stakes &
20 lb. nylon line; we rigged it the way our Ranger taught us, & had no
problems all trek with some pretty significant rain.
