No Title Here is me inside the tent. This was a large military surpplus canvas tent. We took this behemoth everywhere. I believe this photo was taken on Forked Lake in the Adirondacks.

I dont have the issue of bunches and folds. I can see how that could happen. I wonder if it specific to the pad's dimensions and/or the hammock. I have noticed some people have issues with the mating of gear items; just not the right fit/combination.

Alan, I did not intend to imply my way was right. I apologize if I came across that way. I was just sharing how and why I do what I do for those just getting started to see different methods. You made some good points as to why you use your method. All are good. Different strokes... Cheers.

No Title A few weeks ago I ventured out to my campsite to make a quick lunch. Blueberry bannock and cocoa. I have also been playing around with quick rise yeast and sourdough breads.

I have been in a hammock for quite some time now. Even the sub zero winters. In the extreme cold, I use ccf pads for my bottom insulation. Having the right sized pads and a double layer hammock all but eliminate issues ppl have with the pads. For their weight, they provide significant...

I don't bother with a timer to shut off my dehydrator. The way I see it, I am trying to eliminate as much moisture as possible. Thus it can't dry too much. Also, anything once dried will begin to absorb moisture from the air. Probably not an issue in most cases except for higher humidity...

I stopped using my dehydrator to make meals specifically for future trips. Instead, I use it to dry leftovers from dinner. After a while I will have quite a few ready to go. Saves on throwing away the container lost in the back of the fridge.

From a few years ago in December.

3 years ago now.

Much appreciated. I have quite a bit of traditional gear: wood, wool, canvas and what not. I just don't use a stove.

I am interested, but I dont have a hot tent setup. I still cold-camp in winter. Can I still come?

I have enjoyed a black bean (or lentil) , sweet potato stew. Multiple recipes exist online. Most will have meat, for dehydrated meals I skip the meat.

After paddling a Peregrine the other week, methinks a Kestrel might be in my future.
