  • It's here!! Well, almost but it's nice to be out tarp camping in some snow again. Wet, windy, rainy cold camp but it also was the first time this year I felt like I've had the woods all to myself. Not another should in sight for miles

      I've gotten a pair or 2 from LL BEANS & they didn't "fry" me.
      I usually try to get the kind that look like the lining is flannel & the price all depends on who you go through, like Carhartt may be expensive, but somebody else may not be.
      I forgot how much I spent on the LL BEANS pair, something like 30+ USD $, but they were worth it.
      Those & maybe some long johns do the trick over on my end of the world ( Western MA., A bit more Northwest than Springfield)

      For the tarp I can tell you it's the lightweight one, the heavy duty one has a reinforced sewn fabric going through the middle with a lot more attachement points (I own both) by far the he lightweight one is my favorite. It is indeed the boreal saw, I've used a couple similar saw before it and the boreal was the best so far ! A keeper for sure :) sorry I'm not the one you asked but I figured I'd answer anyway !

    I've never seen anyone do the following so, I'm not sure it could be done or, the end result of doing it ->
    Somehow lining the inside of your tent / tarp / shelter with something like pre cut pieces of Radiant Barrier or, trash bag liners.
    Closest I ever saw is somebody that used what looked like tin foil to line the backside of where they set up a wood stove.
    I think they did this in one of those ice fishing shanty styled tents but I can't remember.
    There wasn't a thing showing them installing it, just opening up the tent, getting the stove in, setting the chimney & whatever else up & going from there.
    I'm not sure what wouldn't "hurt" or ruin the inside of the tent to set up something, like, duct tape or, maybe some kind of good painter's tape.
    I've seen some make a shelter out of saran wrap but that's not exactly the most eco friendly & doesn't take into consideration any ventilation you may want.
