What on earth makes you think I'm lying? And, as a matter of fact, I

have hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of various places, like along

the AT trail, the Pacific Rim trail, Yellowstone (where it snowed during

the night so I had to scoop snow to get out of the tent) etc.



Speaking of tenting.. what do you use to keep the tent somewhat warm and dry?
On a whim, I bought one of those SUV type tents that wrap around the vehicle's rear tailgate. The idea is that you sleep in the cargo area up off the ground and you use the tent as your living room.
Haven't used it yet and the nights are getting iffy this time of year.


I go light when I hike, so I have a tent with rain fly, and I always use
a ground cloth. I had one of those when I had an SUV, and for one
person, it was great.
