The foul weather blues has me dreaming of a good camp with lots of glassing opportunities. Let's see where you guys have called home in the past. Maybe mention the gear too as I'm sure folks will ask.

We had a bear grab my peanut jar on day one of our Boundary Waters trip. He got a rock to the snout and I had an empty peanut jar.

"Relaxed camping" with my wife last weekend in the truck camper at the end of the Copper River "Highway" on the SW-side of Prince William Sound. You can see where the bridge washed-out and closed the road in 2011. We spent that night right where you see the camper...with no one else around...

@Kevin Dill you need to put on a clinic for pitching the Redcliff. Still haven't quite got mine figured out.
Maybe the toughest part is getting the basic rectangle established. The only way to learn the rectangle is thru lawn practice. No rectangle...no tight pitch.

The corners of the rectangle get staked ONLY semi-snug...not really tight.

After 4 corners staked, put the pole in on a lower setting and raise just enough to snug fabric. Not tight. Be sure to zip the doors shut when you exit.

Stake the remaining loops but NOT the doors yet. Pull loops outward just enough for very little tension. You don't want the fabric stretched outward. Do the staking pattern like you would lug nuts...more steps but better results.

Stake the doors last and again...not too tight.

Adjust the center pole to really tighten the shelter pitch. Go outside and zip door shut.

Check all stakes and adjust positions as needed. DO NOT pull tight in an outward direction as this only tends to create a concave pitch and distort things.

Only practice will tell you how much tension to use when pulling and staking. Lawn practice at home can't be beat.
