    Not a lot of Federal Land in Maine, but we do have this organization that provides outdoor recreation opportunities on a lot of the remote, privately owned land in the northern part of Maine.

    Lot's of remote/maintained campsites with fire rings & maintained outhouses - all accessed via forest/logging roads.

    Well, how did it go? Remember 83% is just a starting point, add or subtract a couple of inches and find that perfect spot for YOU!

    It felt comfy. But it was windy as crap. Being anchored halfway up the tree that was swaying all over meant I couldn't get to sleep so i called it after an hour or two.

    I'll try again when it's not crazy windy.

    I didn't set it up, just unrolled it and laid it flat. Looked at and felt the fabric, seams, tabs, poles, etc. Didn't pay much attention to zippers, sorry. I can check a little later.

    I mainly unrolled it because I never store tents rolled up. I loosely fold them and store them on top of a big tote I have.

    I learned years ago to stuff so the creases are random.
    Let me know, I'm glad you posted the link.

    RTIC was/is having a big sale, 30% off most coolers.

    I got a soft side one for drinks only when car camping/road tripping so I can use the roto for foodstuffs. Excuse my dirty floor.

    Nice. I took advantage of the same sale and picked up a 65 in tan for $140. Excited to try it out.

    My floor is messy as well!
