Thank you for these videos. How wonderful to be able to preview the different sites before making a reservation!

Just came across this video and it's good info. I have the new HG hearth coming for my banyan bridge. My intention was to just cut the quilt suspension to length and hook them on the spreader bars. I will have to try your way!

Your math is totally useless😂since the tiny droplets will behave totally different. Great video though! Try to calculate the slope that gives maximum coverage for various wind speeds :) For 0 wind, 0 slope. For infinite speed, 90 degree slope etc

Thanks for making these videos! I camped out on many of these sights my entire life and look forward to making my way there every summer.

Very professionally arranged video! It lacks kit and polish ofc - but you've hit ALL the pro points with what you do have and use, impressive and inspiring Good information, very helpful, will definitely use this to help me make the emergency tinder I'll need for my mini ferro rods

I like to stuff jumbo straws with cotton, pour in a half/half mixture of lighter fluid and melted paraffin wax, dump the excess and pack it down tight and melt both ends shut. Waterproof, no mess, and store well a long time. Just cut open when needed, tease the end fibers loose, and they light first strike from ferro rod every time and burn several minutes.

Thank you for this review. I have made and used many with the Vaseline recipe. They are very difficult to light with a feral rod but easy with a match so that’s what I’ve used. I’m gonna spend this afternoon making some using the lamp oil recipe. It the two minutes it gives up and burn time it more than makes up for an ease of lighting. Depending on how motivated I am in a few hours I might give them a second light coating of straight paraffin. The idea being maybe a little more burn time, and maybe a little less likely to stick together in warm weather.

That site is known to many as McDonald's point. It is a great site but it is wide open. Expect to get beat up pretty bad during stormy weather. There are a lot of submerged tree stumps on both sides of the point. Power boaters must use extreme caution in this area. Bear proof canisters are recommended.

Well done! I am in the market for a new tarp. This gave me good insight on it. New follower here. Crow✌️

You've never been in the Infantry, have you.

Awesome!! Thanks for the upload! 🤘🐱🌱🍄

Go back to the large tarp.

well the Vaseline one if you know your going to have to use stuff that's slightly damp cause of the burn time could get it going

Regardless of content, the length of time these three units burned related pretty directly to the starting weight. Also, regardless of content, even the very oily ones, all the units can be sealed and have the same exterior with a quick dip in pure paraffin as the last step in creating them.

Good analysis. In 2009 when I started with a Hennessy hammock with the small asym tarp, it always amazed me that I still never got wet. -Knotty

To quickly answer the primary question - probably not. Stop playing games and buy a good 1 person tent. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

"all models are wrong" Love it. You must be an engineer too.

better off with a bigger tarp made with lighter fabrics. RAB tarps are my go to tarps. I'd go DCF but I can never justify the costs. I don't do hammock camps as well, tarp an bivi for me.occasional bivi tent.

I learned a couple cool tricks watching your video. Thanks!

How did you make that?, nice video 👍

I've used small tarps and big tarps living on the West coast of Canada. In winter rains, I never got wet, but my hammock got damp. So this tracks well, cool to see some math on this. These days, I just use my big winter tarp year round. The extra weight is negligible for me, particularly in inclement weather, plus it gives me and the folks I camp with a spot to hang out in the rain because all my camping buddies are tenters and ain't no way I'm crawling in a little lightweight tent with a bunch of stinky hikers if I can sit in the fresh air.

Huh?

So in layman's terms, if your tarps too short your gonna get your ass wet

This is the US we don't do meters u must be a engineer

That's a lot of maths there. Nice to see the calcs though. As JW said below though, whichever tarp configuration you go for, I go with an underquilt protector every time. Keeps the bottom dry even if you do fall asleep in porch more. In wetter months, I'll also have the winter topcover on as well, just in case. Better safe than sodden. Good video.

Definitely use an underquilt protector.

Just draw an arc. Better yet, buy a tent.

I set my solo tent up in the only marginal tent site on my CL50 hike. Even that tent site was sloped too much. Agree this is not a site for tents.

Very nice. Was there recently. Going to the Five Ponds wilderness this week. I can send you vids of those campsites if you want.

I was at site 130 last week for 7 nights, we had rain like that for about 2 1/2hrs. Thursday night. Had great weather for 5 days so I guess a couple of days rain were a fair trade off.

I like places like here very much, just great for relaxing and hiking! Like 8 ♥

What canoe are you using?

Just discovered your channel. I like what you have going on. Keep up the good work. Wondering if you hit any other ADK lakes?

That's awesome... what a great looking spot. 🛶👍✌️

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍5

camped here last year, so many trout in olmstead!

Privy?

Planning a trip with my adult son in two weeks. Likely putting in at Wanakena in two kayaks (he is a big fisherman). I have really appreciated all of the work that you have done. Considering site 40. Have you ever been there? I would like to avoid shore lights from private homes. Thanks again, your videos are awesome !

I like using an insulated pad with the Ridgerunner. I generally find it more comfortable than without the pad. However, though cold spots around the shoulders you mention can be an issue. I thought maybe the down sleeves from Jacks R Better would be worth a try to supplement the pad but haven't sprung for them yet.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing. 👍3

Nice spot.

Oh yeah! I'd be fishing, I love water weather it's a lake or river. Just beautiful.

I have been enjoying your videos. Truly inspiring, looking to get out and do my own camping, hiking and canoeing. :)

That's roaring. Beautiful area.
