    Cold weather tent camping

    Canvas will not hold the heat any better. It still escapes too durn fast. The heater I posted might be too big for that tent. They sell a smaller version of it which might work better and be safer. Good luck, Eddie

    Kodiak Tent - Initial Thoughts

    I need to get better at setting up the awning. I fail miserably at it every time.. It sags somewhere and comes down rather easily whenever I use it. Eddie

    Cold weather tent camping

    Give us a few more details like how big a tent you will use and your wife's experience with cold weather camping. I just returned from a 4 night trip in 18A. First two nights were easy. Lows were in 40's IIRC. I did not have a seeping bag as I left it home by mistake, but did not need it. I made a special trip Saturday to Kingman to buy a SB as the forecast called for much colder temps. I bought a 20-30 degree bag and it was $60. It was a worthwhile trip even if it took a few hours. There are higher end bags that can make a world of difference but they are usually several hundred dollars. The last 2 nights were cold, with the last night the low being about 25. I had multiple layers on and the Buddy heater on low and I still got cold at times the last night but overall it was passable, but not what I'd call comfortable. I also hate being cold so YMMV. Here's the tent (10x14 Kodiak) I was in and the heater I used. This model heater is 4k/9k BTUs. On a standard 20 pound (or 5 gallon) propane tank, it will burn ~110 hours on low and 45 hours on high. Last year, I was in 7E in this tent and heater set to 9k and lows in single digits and it was cold. Like I'm not doing it again cold. I suspect if I had a better sleeping bag, it would have helped a lot. Also, as another member mentioned, if you'll be below 7,000 feet, the heater will work fine, and maybe even a little higher. Lastly, in a big tent like I had, the heat is very localized w/o a way to circulate the warm air. The down side if you sleep too close to the heater you run the risk getting burned or starting a fire. Good luck, Eddie

    Armslist BS

    I looked into this some more. While I still am okay with my pay-to-play comments earlier, they seem to have made some bad decisions IMO in their implementation. For example, there is a hefty premium (~80%) for paying with a CC. Also, there is no yearly personal membership available. I could go on with more around these, but I'm tired and it is late. These two items alone will keep me from joining so much so that I do not need to read the entire FAQ. Eddie

    Armslist BS

    I have zero problem paying to play. Life can't be free forever. I have found some good deals there (like today) over the past 2-3 years, but it's a buyer beware market just like clist. Also, keep in mind, anti-gunners are gunning (ironic, isn't it?) for anything (like armslist) connected to your 2A rights. It goes away, so do some of your 2A rights. Eddie

    Snake Quiz

    Thanks for the link. Me thinks I should stay out of the desert based on my score. Eddie
  19. ********** Found some elsewhere (on the evil armslist of all places). Thanks all the same CWT. ********** My .380 will be here Friday, but I need ammo. I'm interested in HP, JHP or FMJ so let me know what you have and how much via PM. Any amount from 50 rounds to 500 will work. I'm located in 85254 (64th St. and Greenway) and willing to travel within a 15 miles radius. Thanks, Eddie
  20. Hello All, Looking for a Remington RM380. There are a few different variations, but if it looks basically like this one, I am interested. No crazy colors please. Send me a PM with the details. Thanks, Eddie

    Humongous.........

    Wow, just wow. Thanks for posting. Looks like a nature's version of an 18 wheeler lumbering down the road, Hard to tell if the moose knew how close the film-er was, but man he could have been in a world of hurt if the moose noticed him or felt threatened. Eddie
