OTOOH, the toboggan sled runs sure look like a fun way to entertain one's self in camp!
I've noticed that WPB shell can also help a lot with condensation and is lots better than nothing if actual VB isn't available.
I like the pants but I'd get more use out of them—being able to actually hike in them—if they had some zippered side vents from thigh to calves. I'm thinking of taking them to my local seamster to modify. As it is, my legs get downright wet in a few minutes at aerobic output levels.

First known case of COVID-21. Stay away.
Seriously though it seems like a great, simple 1-piece VB. I just didn't try it on a cold enough night. I think it was 30° which is ridiculous, but I had it with me and gave it a shot. I only lasted about 45 minutes. But I look forward to trying it around 10° or so.

I always thought a tarp the way people generally set it up for a hammock is in fact an imperfect tent, so it makes sense to expand it a little and seal it. It's cool to see you with all this brand new gear! I guess what you have to do now is get rid of the hammock and bring in a double bed and good company for the night! (you can build the bed with the axe and saw, I tried this method with success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs8j4LVr-mE)
I also watched the kayaking video, and certainly recognized you going around in circles complaining of no good spot to camp (Just like me)
Sea kayaking is great here in the Mediterranean, and also Atlantic ocean where there are sometimes up to 36 feet of water level difference between the low and high tide, so you never get bored!
