I always worry about getting a camping spot at a place with only 3 official campsites but if the worst happens we will just move inland and make a spot of our own stealth style. Not to worried about...
Were still headed to the bold coast next weekend(28th) if you interested, would be a great time to try out your new gear!
I used my 1+ down quilt last weekend on a trip and got to freezing with it. The quilt has great loft for its rating and feel it's all I need to do most trips. The few times that I need to go colder I...
He's Not homeless he's just camping for a really long time!:laugh:
Hello there Guyturf! A big New Bruswick hello from the southwest corner of our Province. You live in a great spot for hiking and you should have fun gearing yourself up for hanging. Headed to Grand...
RustyFurnace that was a great video! I really enjoyed watching and it looked like you two had a great time together. Keep them coming and I Loved that Muffin!!
This was a place I stayed a few weeks ago, it was on the side of a mountain and it was only good for hammocks. The only problem was the wind so I had to do porch mode away from the view to help...

You are more than welcome to come with us, it will be saturday April 28 around 10 am at the trail head( I will pm you a few days ahead). We are a group of 4-5(all cool:shades:) and I am the only one...
Yea, I was there for the first time last fall. Awesome trail and the camping is the best. Can't belive I have lived all my life so close to that trail and never hiked it. Going again for my birthday...
Heading to the Boldcoast trail are ya! Go for it, If your not warm enough it will make you appreciate what warm is when you get your new quilt:laugh:. take HOT WATER BOTTLES!!
That was an awesome trip report! You take wonderful photos and it makes me want to get out myself for a hang. Thanks
My original reason was for protection of the tree from the cutting action of cranking the ridgeline tight but it would work for protecting the line from wear as well. I have seen marks left before by...
That's not good, the gardian bug nets have a two way zipper so you can open it both ways so I can't see how it would be all zipped up without the slidders being there:confused: Good luck
I just use a little tubular webbing slipped over the line were they go around the tree, lets the line slide and not dig into the tree.

A picture is worth a thousand words! The right side of the picture is the end channel with original cord and the left is the one I added into the sewn channel that was already on the edge.
I did not modify the quilt at all, there is a channel along the long edge big enough to slip the shock cord threw. I do not have the 3 tabs along the edge, mine is a older model and she may have...
I have two of Leighlo's quilts and do just what you said, tighten the end channels off center with extra material to the head corner and the foot corner. I find by doing this that it makes the quilt...
The three tree method got MY wife out with me and she loved it. We were close enough to pass thing to each other but still had own space and with the tarps overlaped we had great protection. My son...
That was a great video to watch, Thanks for sharing!
This is what I came up with to help boost temps. Tyvec under/over cover that really helps with warmth and wind protection and it was cheep to make. No condensation as of yet in below freezing temps:)...
Good job on your first cold solo! I had a similar jan.1 night as you when MY buddy bailed on me, after spending all day packing I was not going to let that affect my night so I just went out on my...
pm coming for booties
This christmas under the tree is a leighlo 20* full length UQ and a big mamajamba to go with it as well as fabric and bits and pieces for some DIY projects to keep me busy over the holiday. My son...

Can you give a little detail on what part of the pull out that you sealed( inside, outside, threads only?) and how you applied it. pics of the finished job would be great as I am ready to do mine...
I converted my sons HH to whoppies and found the same problem with having to put the prusic on the adjustable part of the whoppie to make the tarp tight and that won't work so separate ridgeline for...
pm sent.............
This is what I have been doing lately to help reduce the sawing action of tightening the tarp ridgeline around the tree. I found that it allows the line to slide on the tree without digging in as...
pm sent for quilt.
Pm coming!
Right on! I have gone thru all those stages as well and after some cold and sleepless nights I purchased and made a few pieces of good gear on a tight budget and now I am happy with the kit that I'v...
The rain has finally stopped and it going to be clear and cold so i'm headed out for a Overnighter with the moon. Looking forward to steak on the fire:)
If I'm reading this right you are talking about sewing the door straight to the tarp? If you make your door/doors removable you can choose were to put them or not to use them at all. I always carry...
I made one door for my OES standard that I put on the windy side and it really helps with this small tarp. It's large enough that it will almost close the whole end when It's pitched tight. There are...
I ran into 2 people in four days of hiking. This trail is so tough that not alot of people attempt it so it makes for some quiet hiking:)
The book "hiking trails of New Brunswick" from goose lane books is about the best resource I found when planning my trip. This book will also give you all the info for Fundy national park and it's...
There is a Facebook group as well 'friends of the Fundy foopath' , would be a good place to get first hand info.
I have hiked the Fundy foopath, very tough trail and very remote in places. There is not alot of online info on the trail that I could find but they do have a guide book. Get ready for climbing...
I have that very same quilt and I love it like a child:)
On a solo trip this summer I had a deer come into camp four times threw the night and blow and stomp, if you have never herd a deer blow it's a warning sound they make by blowing air threw there...
I made this tyvec over cover and under cover before my last trip out to try to extend the range of my summer gear and it worked fantastic. The air temp inside was very different from out side and I...
PM sent. Thanks oldgringo
This is what I have done to help cut done on the damage done by the ridgeline sawing into the tree when tightening it. It's 16" long tubular webbing slipped over the CRL and works well to allow the...
