Nesting Tricks From An Old Coot

I am grateful I saw this thread in the new posts section. I had not yet considered the importance of prevailing winds and compass direction.

I stopped wearing a watch 15 years ago.... Except in the wood and then with a small compass on the strap...Makes it super easy to navigate... and super easy to pick tres with a preferred wind angle.

Excellent reference article, you have saved many souls on this forum from many uncomfortable nights of trying to figure out what's going on and "tuning in" their set ups... Well written and humorous. This one is in my Evernote cache of great references. Thank you!

I always have tried to center between the 2 trees, but never considered strap stretch as one of the reasons of such. Makes A LOT of sense, thank you.

From an "Old Coot" to another - this article makes great sense. Experience can be considered logic.
