Alabama thread!

Ill be leaving the pillows and blankets in my rtt while on a trip till the last day. Then ill take them out.

 

that makes it even more of a pita to pack up, you might not even be able to depending on your pillows. a thin blanket or sleeping bag is about the best you can do. they do not allow for much storage that's for sure.

 

I kept my thick queen size sleeping bag and two pillows in my RTT before I put the 2” memory foam topper in. Everything can’t fit now that the topper is in, but it folds up in the tent with ease.

 

I'm telling you yours is magical. You may not want to sell that one.

I could keep a sleeping bag in mine, no pillows.

 

The anti condensation mat in your tent took up a lot of space.

 

Ohhh that could be it...

 

They are thick and heavy. I don’t have one in my tent

 

gotchaa that makes sense. do you not have condensation issues? I know I had some condensation when I was in my hardshell, but never have had any in my CVT.

 

I don't disagree with the law, nobody should "linger" in the left lane. I just think calling it the "Anti-Road Rage Act" is stupid when the people that get road rage are the ones speeding. If folks followed the law and went the speed limit, then someone going the speed limit in the left lane would not be an issue. That's just fact.

 

Thanks man. They were the 18650 batteries. Used in flashlights and vape devices. These were for my flashlight.

Thanks bud. Not a experience I recommend. Haha

 

haha you've got a good point there. I tend to linger in the left lane on the parkway just because the right lane is so devoted to merging on and off the overpasses here in Huntsville, but I make sure to go a couple mph over the speed limit when I do it.

 

This is far from accurate. Especially around HSV. Anywhere you go around here people creep in the left lane. Its called a passing lane for a reason. So the people just riding in the left lane to ride in the left lane are just as much to blame for road rage as anyone. I don't get road rage from people driving slow....I get road rage from people driving stupid. There is a dramatic difference between the two.

 

Yup any time the temp drops below 70 you'll want a under quilt. I usually will just put my sleeping bag in mine to lay on and then if it gets cold, pull the top part over me. I'd never try sleeping 2 in a hammock overnight. I will say the best nights camping have been in a hammock. I've gotten where my back will hurt in a ground tent even on a air mattress. Still have 3 of them and they get used on occasion. If the family is going we'll take the camper now.

 

I agree with you, aside from that being far from accurate. The only people I have been with that got road rage, or that I have had get road rage around me were people that were speeding. yes, others get road rage, but if you take the comments I've made on my FB post that if everyone actually held to the speed limit or less, then somebody in the left lane doing the speed limit would be the fastest guy. therefore, nobody can get road rage at someone doing the speed limit.

 

Yea, no FB access here at work but yea I could agree with that. Unfortunately there will never be a time that every abides by the speed limit.

 

this guy gets it. that's all I'm saying.

yes, the guy/gal going under the speed limit should move over, but the law abiding citizen traveling at the speed limit should not for any reason evernever neverever (excluding emergency vehicles situations) be the cause of a problem. the speeding idiot is the problem.

 

AMEN

 

also, I'm using that.

 

I 100% agree with you.

 

We started off with a huge Coleman in case we were somewhere and got stuck in the tent with the rain. Worked out great on a trip to Tybee Island when it rained the entire week we were there. Footprint is like 10'x19' though and takes a few minutes to setup.

Next we switched to a MSR Elixir 3 and I like it but with the rainfly on in the summer it can get quite warm. Works really awesome in the winter time and we've slept in it down to 34 degrees.

When it's just me going or when on a Scout trip I take my hammock. Easy to setup and quick takedown. My entire setup fits in a small backpack.



Plus you can wake up to a good morning from the taco.
