    Water collection from tarp

    Camping this weekend and I had my tarp in porch mode while it was raining. I noticed all the water going straight down my trekking pole, so I decided to put my pot under the pole to catch rain water and it would fill up in a matter of minutes. I made a setup video and you can see the pot at 1:30. I take the pot out and pore it in my water filter bag that is at the 5:00 mark.

    Oh yes, this is always a good way to save a trip to the water hole if available. I believe you were getting Sintax 77 and Spiguyver Backpacking mixed at the end but we knew what you meant

    Wow, I totally botched the end of that. It was Cedar Ridge Outdoors and Spiguyver. I will have to do something about that.

    Nice job on your video! I added the pillow to my wishlist on Amazon. I'm thinking someone might have an inflatable pillow in their Christmas stocking.
