Well I went and got the Brickhouse from Gander mountain. The first thing I did was weigh it, I could not believe this thing weighs 17 lbs. I have no idea how they came up with 10.5, must have weighed the thing in a special chanber with a different gravity.

It took a few minutes of cussing to figugure out how to get it started, I was afraid to pull to hard and break it. Once I got it figured out I could remove it from the bag and be set up in under 1 minute. Tring this in the dark may be a different story, I think I will put a piece of reflective tape or somthing on the top so I know where to start.

I am going to weigh this thing again and make sure I had it right. I will probably call Ameristep tomorrow and ask them whats up with their scale. I will do another follow up tomorrow after I time to play around with it abit.
