My wife loves to have the piece and quite around the house for a few days so she just says go.

The “you can have some peace and quiet” is my go to argument for taking trips. It worked better when she was studying a lot and needed the quiet.

It's been a strange winter but I'm feeling good about it. Really holding back, trying not to get into the weather as usual, but Feb is looking nice and cold. Lake effect is starting to shut down, so we need a nice storm to replenish the pack. Fingers crossed for not having to drag a pulk over icy leaves this time! Snowshoes have been on the shelf all winter so far

Yes....YES!

No tent this year guys! Just got my 13’ simply light designs tarp in

Poles and pull outs match the spreader bars perfect.

Oh my, what a nice TARP.... I think I may have to do a couple walk arounds at camp.

Hope we have some varied weather to test it all out at GT!

Make that random people that you met on the internet that generally have a keen interest in large knives, axes, saws and guns, meeting in the middle of nowhere, far from "civilization" away from prying eyes, deep in the woods. And I wouldn't be surprised if there was a chainsaw and shovel present as well. That should definitely seal the deal! She would be *CRAZY* to deny you going.

Can't wait!
