      Hello, Miss Star! Great to hear from you, as always. I did get eaten alive! Ha ha. My right eye even puffed up due to three bites on my right temple. Swelling didn’t go down until Wednesday. Anyhoo, I survived! And was right back at it again this past weekend, ha ha. 🥰

    Another great video, very beautiful & peaceful place to camp. What seems to work well for me out on the trail to deter gnats, flys, and mosquitoes is Avon “Skin So Soft,” it keeps the bugs at bay for sure. Happy Trails, looking forward to your next video.

    I just returned from a little over two weeks camping/travelling trip and am playing catch up with the internet things since I was away from a computer. It looks like you were putting up a few videos while I was gone so here I am playing catch up with the videos. I really enjoyed this one for a start Christina. It looked like a great time for you (even with the bugs and the difficult time with the inflating of the Alpacka Raft.) As usual, you powered through and sorted things out and got it done though. I am pretty sure that you are going to get a lot of enjoyment out of that packable raft in the future. Overall, you had a great time out by the lake and the trail so that's what counts. Thanks for allowing us to join you my friend, I had a great time too. See you on the next one. PS- I have heard for years that the Six Moons Design tents are awesome! Great choice.

    Hi Christina.
    Tip. Top off the raft by blowing air into the nozzle. Also put the raft into the water, the cool water will soften the raft. Then Blow air into the raft one more time.
    The nozzle will allow you to allow you To blow into it.

      Hello, Travel Hungry for Life! Great name you have! Yes, I’ll admit, the bugs were pretty bad. But, as I always say, I have quickly recovered from 100% of every mosquito bite I’ve ever received, ha ha. The annoyance is definitely worth the payoff. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🥰✌🏼

    You should inflate your pack raft and then place it in the water for a bit...then top it off.

    • @Womaninthewoods13
      @Womaninthewoods13  9 месяцев назад

      Actually, it’s ready to be used right away, then you always do a check before each use and can add more air later.

    • @mobezzy1
      @mobezzy1 9 месяцев назад

      That's awesome that you responded !!! But I was saying that because you inflated it when it was hot then you placed it in the water, the difference in temperature (water being cooler) causes it to lose pressure.. toping it off after its ben conditioned to the water temperature ensures you have proper pressure .. ok gonna watch some more videos from you channel especially now that you responded 🙂@@Womaninthewoods13
