    Ohhh lord!! When I was growing up in Lincoln/North Woodstock NH all the ‘kids’ around town would meet at Cascades (the local swimming hole). On April 1st every year we would take our first sip of the year 😮😮 Holy God it was cold. And there were always people to haul you out if needed. But, more often than not, there was still snow around. Brrr 🥶

    Great video! The one where you tie one corner to a tree (or the trekking pole) and the diagonal corner to the ground, then stretching out the flaps. Do you use that configuration?

    I can’t believe that some People fall and hit their head over and over again. The best stove is promised omniful. You don’t need to change that and that and this and this when using different filler types like this stove or from Other brand. Simple change the nozzle with a tool in 5 seconds and then u are ready with another fuel type. You don’t need to change other stuff on the fuel bottle for using other fuel types. This is smart and clever in the field and not take out this and that. No people want to use from America want to do it the hard way that is not the best way.

    Quilts can be tied with cord or ribbon to create a sleeping bag of sorts, and the under-pad straps keep out most breezes. If I use my tent, I usually don't bother with the straps. On the other hand, long before I knew quilts were a thing, I just slept with my bag unzipped except a footbox... The only real diff is a modest amount of weight for a longer zipper in a bag. I utilize down jacket and pants for warmth and mosquito protection in camp, then top them off with an ultra light quilt to sleep. If needed, I wear down socks on my hands and down camp booties.

  •  15 днів тому

    Thank you so much for the video; it's very informative and helpful. I've been working on designing a tent similar to this, primarily due to the high price of the Plex Solo, which I can't afford. After checking the specs, I was wondering if this tent can only be set up with a 132 cm trekking or tent pole, or if it could also work with a 130 cm or 120 cm pole. Please advise.

    • @timbschwartz
      @timbschwartz 14 днів тому

      Thanks for the question! 130 should be doable, I think 120 would be too low, though

    You “people”😂. Specifically the “north” west. Only people who live in the NW who say it rains a lot, are cally transplants. You people have DRAUGHTS in the summer. How can you say it rains a lot when you have droughts EVERY summer? 😂🎉 Come live in the true North West, what we Alaskans refer to as SOUTH East Alaska. You know, a rain forest. 🎉

    Cut or use a soldering iron to make a hole in the tent peak for the cord ends to pass thru. Sew or glue the cord ends inside to your prime structural paths, width or length and then glue seal around the loop with ShooGoo, if not a silnylon tent or a glue acceptable for silnylon. There are over eight methods for hanging the tent. Two of the simplest are use a ridge line between two trees and a cord from the ridge line to the tent loop or throw cordage over a tree limb and tie it to the tent loop.

    I can get (lightly) burned even with upf 50 if it’s a long day up high. But I’m also a ginger. Mostly I get burned in my forearms if I’m using hiking poles. I think it’s smart to cover up and the right gear makes it not so bad.

    I wouldn’t use aluminum for any use of cooking food. If you can’t afford titanium, buy stainless steel. I have several camp mugs, stainless and titanium and to be honest I use my stainless steel mug, more often.

  • @joedean8017

    I have a Tennier Industries surplus bivy cover that is superb! In a bag the total kit is 4 pounds. This is a Nylon Briefcase, two car sunshades, a large shower curtain liner and Camo Netting. Additional items I call ‘one ounce wonders’ are stuffed in pockets. A surplus sustainment bag with a shoulder strap added is for food and water. This combo will keep me safe, warm and dry anywhere anytime! I like mil-spec stuff and buy it whenever I can!

    Really sad if your water bottle is to heavy. It's almost like ultra light becomes a sickness. Constantly worrying about grams. I listened to one guy worrying about a hill so he drank one water bottle because he didn't wnt to carry the weight. That unbelievable to me.
