    This is another great example of 3 good pals just enjoying the outdoors without pretense or posturing. The comaraderie and utter joy that you guys have while out in the forest together is not only immediately evident, but also inspiring and infectious. Thanks, Kevin, for always bringing honesty to your videos and for keeping things light and youthful, no matter our age. 🙏 Also, nice tent!

    Love that your video's are not all beautiful woodland glades and stunning sunshine? There is that when it happens but you make no effort to gloss over or hide the real weather, you know the sort that happens in the real world! Wish I had the outstanding outdoor buddies you have!

    " can't have nice weather all the time " .... I was once told there is no poor weather while in the woods, just poor clothing choices. Great trip and thanks for sharing 👍

    Watching this at the hunting camp in Alberta. On the drive out through Wisconsin saw huge flocks of Sandhill cranes. Beautiful sight. I remember seeing them as a kid growing up in Northern Quebec. They disappeared for a long time, but have made quite the comeback. Will be making the drive home in a few days hopefully the great November weather hangs out in Northern Ontario. Thanks for the laughs

    The options of setup especially with the steel ring loop without a pole is a good feature. Im looking at this shelter and also the Snowtrekker. Just picked up a Camp Chef Alpine wood stove and im committed to the shelter now.

    I have the previous Esker. I use a bowl at the peak to spread out the force and protect the tent. I also had 8 aluminum poles made for it which makes things easier and more consistent to set up. Mind you this stuff has to be portaged. Good idea with the peak loop! It would be worth having a loop sewn on an earlier tent like mine because that middle pole really can cramp the space and flexibility for set up. Not using a pole is huge!

    • @TheHappyCamper
      @TheHappyCamper  Месяц назад

    Glad you got out for one more paddle- love that new tent, debating on the same one and looked at the pull and moths flew out of wallet… so happy to see I’m not the only one that would make my own pole. Shockingly those cranes still around. I was also in school learning the increase of cranes in the area- neat how their feathers change based on diet… some interesting crane colors in the mine tailings- slimes of Kirkland Lake. Haven’t seen in Ontario - but I’m BC I lived beside a small mtn called Boar Mtn… every year cranes by the 100s would spiral over my pace in a thermal and with out a wing beat would sore away ❤.

    Great Video! I have been looking at the Esker tents vs the Snowtrekker Divide that Wilderness Ridge is selling. I was curious how much experience you have with both in winter snow storms. Thanks for all you do! Love the videos!

    • @TheHappyCamper
      @TheHappyCamper  24 дня назад +1

      I own both Esker and Snowtrekker. You can't go wrong with either. Both shed the wind and snow well. Snowtrekker differs by being a-framed and free standing. Esker is cheaper, especially if you live in Canada. However, I believe Lure of the North near Sudbury now sells them.

    SnapOn tools have at least of a reputation of being fairly expensive but also brand loyal following by some mechanics. Couldn't find the price online but presuming they don't have an online presence with their mobile dealers that visit mechanic shops with the tool trucks. Don't know if their flashlight have replacement warranties like their tools but if your mechanic is a SnapOn fanatic, you might be able to barter or just gift to him/her for good grace gesture(if no one comes forward).
