Nice mattress! I'll bet it's tough rolling out of that cozy little unit at oh4hity. On the other side of the welcome mat should read,"all die ,few live". Thanks for showing us how it's done!
Couple??'s 1. do you have a link to the hat you wear? 2. There's a belief in my family that my grandfather was a Maine Guide. Is there any way to verify that? Thanks
I find that hand warmers last a long time but foot warmers don't. It might be a brand thing? I like the extra long pocket in that tent. Thanks for the video.
"warmers" need oxygen to work. That's why they're less performing when in boots and wearing them. Hot Hands and Grabbers are the exact same thing, same company. Just branded with different names for different markets.
Very nice setup! If I may suggest, don't put your canoe gear at each end of the vestibule. It blocks the draft. Instead, put them in the middle. You'll have more draft, so less condensation. A few tips: Add a Mylar blanket (space blanket) under your sleeping pad. It'll keep you much warmer since your body wants to heat up the air inside the mattress, then the hot mattress wants to heat up the ground (conduction!). It will also set the condensation between the Mylar and the floor instead than directly under the pad. Have a small lightweight microfiber towel to wipe off the excess condensation, if any. Have a UCO lantern. It adds 100watts of heat and will reduce condensation. Have a small mesh bag to put everything to protect from the cold and freezing, then put it in your sleeping bag. You can use the stuff sac from your sleeping bag as a pillow. Your jacket as a pillow is a nice way to keep it warm for next morning. PEE BOTTLE! The Nirvana for every camper during cold nights! If you wake up during the night, and search for your headlamp but can't find it anywhere. Worry not! Just check on your forehead... (true story). A Nalgene bottle filled with boiling water, then inserted into a wool sock, is just perfect to keep your feet warm and comfy all night.
As always taking years off the learning curve for me! Thank you. Love the idea of clothes in bags so they can’t get wet.
That has saved me on more than one occasion.
Thanks as always 😊
You're welcome 😊

Yes. Some mornings it is. I’ve had guests take pictures of that mat.

I can’t remember the brand I think it’s hot hands. Yellow and orange packaging, but they last a long time.
