    Weekend in the wilderness

    Hi! Not that much, especially in fall time. In that area there isn't much deers, because quite strong wolf population. Less deers and mooses, lesser the ticks.

    Start of the year

    Thank you all for the interest. :) Actually those toasts under stove were pizza slices, but you get the idea. That worked just like a oven, I might try other foods aswell in the next trip.

    Small overnight trip

    Yes, few meters of bungee cord and hooks made to that use. Basically I just have a cord attached to small backback, which has all quick need equipment. I made that rubber cord section to reduce tugging. Some like to use shafts, but I like using cord. Both have their own pros and cons.

It still comes with pre drilled holes for those. Do as you prefer. It's also very lightweight. It's...
