Asking for a friend
Hahaha, backpacking into Uwharries this coming weekend. Gotta remember to pack dry clothes and two ponchos and rain coat
Ooops don’t forget booney hat
I hang ponchos over top of hammock ridgeline, and snap outermost edges shut from top to bottom.
And snap innermost edges a snap or two at bottom
This is in addition to lowering tarp down closer to hammock ridgeline and fastening doors closed
Some dampness is par for the course
If I notice any of my clothes are wet, that lets me know, I’m still alive
They say you can earn extra power points by wearing wet clothes until they are bone dry.
I’m not a gamer, but that has a ring of truth.
Until you hear SilvrSurfr story of fording two flooded rivers with ALL of his clothes removed and packed in a dry bag in his pack, you ain’t heard a good story!
After crossing second swollen river he got into his hammock to try to reverse hypothermia.
His friend texted him and asked where he was. (He was kinda lost) and his friend figured out where he was and paddled down correct branch of flooded river to get SilvrSurfr into kayak-canoe, and join their group of New Jersey pine barrens campers.
The story was better when SilvrSurfr wrote it.
His grasp of English is better than mine-donchaknow!
