    Night Fears: Worse with Hammocks than Tents?

    I have tarps with doors and I have a multifunction tarp that I can form doors if I want. The multi is what comes out the most as I have so many options on how to pitch, it's by Jacks R Better

    Night Fears: Worse with Hammocks than Tents?

    I've been bumped a few times, no worse than being sniffed while cowboy camping ;-)

    Night Fears: Worse with Hammocks than Tents?

    I don't think either provides you with more physical safety, I think the flexibility of the hammock is the real key. I also have an irrational fear of being trampled in a tent so I'm in a hammock 99% of the time, even with a dog quite often.

    Pocket Canyon is it right for me?

    I was out playing last night and I was able to do axles and get 180, couldn't get posts right, thanks to the dog countering me :D couldn't get onside slips consistently although offside I was fine. I'll go out this weekend without the dog and see how things go.

    I have an Esquif Adirondack that does quite well as a fishing platform. Here it is on a fishing /camping trip in the ADK, it's 12 ft long and 43lbs, hauls a lot of gear too

    Pocket Canyon is it right for me?

    After a good exchange on Facebook I decided to go with the Pocket Canyon and it's been great so far. I've had it on the water 3 of the 4 days I've owned it, 2 lakes and a creek. I've never been in a canoe so stable that turns so easily, it's going to spoil the dog and I as he can move freely...

    Pocket Canyon is it right for me?

    I'm a pretty big guy at 6'4+ and 230ish pounds so I for instance have no issues with a vertical paddle in say a pathfinder solo paddling backwards so I think I should be okay width wise

    Pocket Canyon is it right for me?

    For the past year or so I've been agonizing over what canoe to get for river tripping with my dog, whitewater use and freestyle classes. I had settled on the Pocket Canyon as it seems like a strong possibility, the issue is I have yet to be able to paddle one. Along this journey I've been told...

    Hatchet or Saw?

    I manage without an axe or hatchet especially when it comes to a twig stove, plenty of branches I can cut down to size off of down trees or shoots off much larger branches and then baton with my knife

    Phoenix Full of Herd Dog

    Your heeler looks about the same size as mine, mine stays by me behind the thwart. I think the Phoenix is about the same between seat and thwart as my shearwater and adirondack, gives him a little flatter area
