Good information just in time as I head east into rain to escape my Sierra snowpack aka, everything closed. I am also bringing extra stakes. Thanks.
Netflix can be quite enjoyable sometimes but I take your point
Great video! Im a hammock camper but theres a trick that works with both tents and hammocks. If youre in a wooded area take some branches/sticks and make a small platform to put your gear on. It can keep your gear off the ground and dry and works in a vestibule or under a rain fly.
My wife asked from the other room hearing your voice "Is that Dan"?
Yeah baby, all outdoor guys are Dan Becker.
I love hiking and backpacking but when it rains life is miserable
Not exactly LNT
10/10 Video. Appreciate all the effort and tips put into it. Keep going, get after it!
That was extremely helpful!
Thank you for not being an advertisement for certain gear ???? and actually giving tips on how to stay dry ^-^ bless
Thanks Bruh! Dam you look like Aaron Rogers ????
Nice video but it would have been nice if your videographer panned down at the 6:30 mark where you said "Look here…" so we could see what you were seeing.
Got home once, forgot the tent was wet. Next time I used it, it was mouldy and the inner crumbled. Even if its not wet, air everything and wash your clothes.
Excellent video. Thank you.
What water protectant spray would you recommend for a North Face Wawona 8 tent? I purchased some atsko and Scotchgard but figured I’d get your opinion. Is it even necessary for the first use?
Very good info. Don't worry, you won't tear the tent. Thanks.
How is touching the inside of the tent letting water get inside?? If it’s waterproof how is is coming inside?
You learn this real quick on the pct in September lol
If rain was forecast, I would be looking to pitch my tent on grass if possible and NOT on the dirt (road/trail) which will get muddy, and make it difficult to not bring mud into my tent (living space). The location this tent is pitched would be an example of what not to do with the puddle forming outside the vestibule providing a second lesson in what not to do.
This video does make the valid point that getting mud on your boots and tent is not the end of the world, (as long as you can stay warm and maintain your body temperature).
I have a silpoly tent now and would 100% recommend this over a nylon based tent for wet conditions. Silpoly has much less sagging when the tent gets wet.
What do you do to go to the bathroom in the rain
