I’m going for a walk and then coming back in and practicing! I got it once and it was so tightly packed that I worried I’d tear it pulling it out again. There should be a better way! L The trick is to fold the tent multiple times before rolling up the tent poles on the folded tent. I've done it on all my tents and it works out well that way. But you have to have meticulous technique. The word "stuff sack" is a misnomer for tents. It's not actually meant for you to stuff things in. You have to foldup the tent neatly and roll the poles tightly before you can insert everything back into the stuff sack. The date is Feb 7th. The time is before 8am.
Things have reached an all-new low. I have been re-living my bike camping trips on Instagram. I was also looking at the new Big Agnes tents and noting that the tent poles are meant to be stored INSIDE the tent bag. Which I have never done. And now it is me and Chat GPT, who is trying to tell me that if I can just roll everything up into a rectangle, I can fit the whole thing in my bag. I have the entire contents spilled out on my living room floor and am on my 3rd attempt but no success. I have a nice, neat folded rectangle but it turns into this, when I begin to stuff it:
Also, I cannot figure out how to do that cool tie to keep the guy wires nice and neat. A capable outdoorswoman…this is who I want to be, and yet I just always come out looking like the above….
I’m not giving up. I WILL get those poles inside with that tent!
Hello, it’s me, Leah, coming to you on January 947th. We get done with one winter storm only to survive it and shovel out in time for the next one to arrive. My tenacious college boy is out there on his Clem with NO STUDDED TIRES, slipping and sliding and occasionally crashing, but he perseveres. He tells me, “There is no such thing as no bike day” and he worries me.
To make matters worse, the meteorologists inform me that the Great Lakes are freezing over and that means a cold, wet spring, which is the exact thing I was declaring cannot happen, because If we have a vicious winter, we are owed a gentle spring. Alas, nature is not taking input from Michiganders, or even pretend ones, and it will be a long time before I’m back in the saddle. I was supposed to be riding with Pam and Roberta in Charlotte today, but we were foiled again by the weather. Charlotte is in a winter storm watch, and that’s how you know the world has gone crazy.
Anyway, we do have Philly Bike coming up in March and I am hoping it will be somewhat reasonable so we can ride.
