First Episode of Trail Ready
Well, here it is, the 1st episode of Trail Ready. I'm still trying to figure out why the intro is blurry so I can fix that on episode 2. It might have to do with the cartoon effect I used.
Great video George! I've been tarp camping for the last 20 years but not exclusively. We always used a through line to give us a tent like pitch but after seeing this, I think I have a new way. Love the unpretentiousness flavor of the video. Looking forward to future tips.
Thanks guys. I wanted to keep it simple and useful, while entertaining.
@NB That was the Gram Weenie PRO. Flame creep with that combo isn't all that bad, and there aren't many alky stoves that will give a narrow enough flame pattern for a narrow pot. A cannister stove would probably solve that problem, but weigh a little more.
@John I'll be showing more pitches over time, including your tried and true A frame, which BTW is probably one of the most used pitches ever :).
I received an email today from William Redhawk of Hawk Vittles, and he has indicated he is working on the packaging issue as I type this. As soon as his improved packaging is out I will give everyone an update.
Thanks George, I like the down to earth style including the "burnt fingers" I look forward to seeing more and learning a few tricks.
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued by your use of what I would consider a too narrow pot for the flame pattern of the stove. Which stove was it?
