Oh, duh... lol. 😅 I almost never cook in the backcountry and tend to forget that others do. Yeah, a reckon powered could work, though I can't say I have tried it.

I make this in a skillet, not sure if that's what you mean. It's a great base batter, and highly adaptable.

Very forgiving. The most unbalanced bit is bridging into a sleeping bag or when you lean waaaaay forward to zip the bug net. I can reach the ridgeline from any position to steady myself. I have only gone out forward, you are darn near vertical before it passes the point of no return. If your...

Depends on what the conditions demand. Tarps are pretty flexible pieces of kit. I don't know that I've ever not been able to set one up.

What is your channel name? I love small channels.

Canoe the North has several very high quality videos from the north country. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Does anyone have any experience with the Northstar Polaris in solo mode vs the SRT? I loved the polaris, except for the seat height, but I don't have an SRT near me. I am also looking at the Clipper Caribou S, but that's even worse for availability.
