This past Friday (3/12/10) I took my girlfriend's cousin's husband camping in the Pine Barrens, and it rained. No let me rephrase that, it RAINED! We had a short break in the rain after we arrived and hurriedly set up camp, than we just tried to ride out the wind and rain. It was actually a really good time and gear test. We stayed about as dry as you could in the driving rain and had a good time despite some nasty weather. It was about 50*F when we arrived and got down to about 40*F with 15-25 mph winds Friday and 25-30+ late Friday night/early Saturday according to the weather channel app on my phone.
New Gear used:
Backwoods Daydreaming Winter Dream V.2
Arrowhead tarp ridgeline and tieouts
Perfect Trees Incubator
Sportmens' Guide one man bivy tent (for the record he used it not me)
REI inflatable ground pad.
All performed excellently. I will get some picks up shortly and some more comments about the gear.
