What's an Ad?:

A great question came up during the leader meeting on Saturday: so what is an Ad (Adirondack)? I promised to include some pictures.

This a three-sided Adirondack which includes 6 wooden bunks. The opening is approximately 14' x 8'

This is a platform canvas tent which shows to canvas cots (on their sides).
