    Idea for the garage: install a screw in eye at each end of the room and use a temporary clothes line to hang wet stuff. I do this for my 10 person tent. To make the line even faster to put up, use the style of clips for dog leashes.

    Tucker IS perfect, even if it is your show gosh darn. :) Also end of video thought - that was ~41 minutes with you talking us through it. I expect you could do it in half that time if you were just doing it and not explaining at the same time. A good reminder to us all that these sorts of maintenance things are important in the longrun and often faster than we think!

    To avoid having a number of half-empty isobutane gas canisters in your storage bin after trips - or worse yet taking one out on a hike - you can use a handy little device that attaches 2 of them together with valves, in order to empty one out and refill the other. Like the FlipFuel or G-Works Gas Saver. Miranda‘s buddy Eric Hanson recently had a video with the creator of the FlipFuel explaining how that process works.

    I’m a big fan of setting the tent up to air and dry. I’m just amazed at how fast a tent dries on a sunny or windy day! Plus, I can check for holes, tears, etc. I store my tents loose in a box, to decrease creasing.

    May I suggest hanging a clothesline in your garage with a carabiner or something so you can temporarily hang your tent/ bag to dry? It works a little better than a ladder. If you're in a hurry you can setup a fan also.

I usually air them out for a full day before stowing them in their designated loose-knit cotton sack.

    For you repair kit, I have it flipped, instead of duct tape rolled inside I roll it on the outside of the pill bottle (makes it easier to unwind later) and cord is tightly wound in an easy to unwind coil inside the pill bottle - it keeps cord dry and nothing to slip or unwind from outside the bottle.
    I am sure there are pros and cons to each method but duct tape outside, cord inside has worked well for me as repair kit so far.

    Okay Miranda:
    Poop kit, have you ever thought about adding a bidet? Let me know what you think. Planning on hiking the AT 2025, I think I’ll take one.

    Ok a suggestion for a real time video, cleaning your “Mess Kit” (Cooking gear) at Camp. I’ve tossed this out too a couple content makers and only seen one give ideas on this subject. It was Chef Corso. But different folks have different ways. Chef basically boils up any leftovers in his pot and drinks it. To me not very good if yer on a long hike in the back country. Solid poop”ok”, liquid poop “ not ok”, hurling even worse. Not all the LMNT in Maryland fix that, and “Medevacs” are expensive.

    Use a shotgun mic instead of a lav? That'll help pinpoint sound and have a better experience sound monitoring and for the viewer as well.

      Yeah that’s the plan as much as we can from now on. Love the lav mics but sometimes they can knock into something and rub and you get some audio chaos like happened in this video. I try to monitor audio and run camera at the same time but doing that inevitably you can miss something.
