That makes sense. I figure last resort is bungee cord to hold those ends in place. Thank you very much for the input!

No pole back to the tent to hold the ridge taunt? What stops the side to side sway? Again just that bent pole? Sounds way too simple... By doing some math... LOL. The post of which that bent pole connection has to be lower than the pivot pole by a decent amount. Say 10% past (?). Hmm.. You...

That's also my first go-to! Using an eraser with it helps get it started.

Can someone explain how the RTT awning are held open with just that bent pole I see on so many? Trying to create an awning for my cloth walls on the pop-top. Do they have a pole in the awning running back to the tent as well? Seems like it has to..

What kinda temps are average/expected. We will be Baja bound after Christmas and wondering where to spend New Year's eve with fellow curious explorers. Can you camp up there? Are some of you doing NYE there? Coming out of the Nor'east, Georgia is doable with ease.

I match thread to material so 100% polyester thread just makes sense. Needle, I'm trying the microtex/sharp as it creates the smallest hole (that I could find) and was advised it will handle 2 layers, possibly 3 with ease. Though is, if I don't push it, it may handle the velcro as it's such a...

I just bought some Ottertex® Polyester Ripstop (PU) - 8.7 oz, so it's late to ask if anyone has experience with it. Details/specs looked good enough to just go for it. I'm coming from Duck Cloth and want something a bit better... Really hoping I didn't make a mistake.. I'll know personally next...

Just subscribed to your channel (as Byways no Highways). I will go through the videos with excitement! I dropped back to your Baja trip since we heading that way this winter Jan/Feb.

And with that in mind Michael... Is why most of us on this coast wish to break in down a bit. It is as simple as adding the Crew or Regional feature to the web-based platform, instead of the 'pay-for' app... I've bypassed all this by making a private group and more so by making another group on...

Okay.. we bailed out in Virginia. Not the road was too tough, by most means, the roads are fine. I think only twice did I back away due to it went close to single track and then it seemed short distance. For me it was a 'click' I picked up in the steering and I know there's a 'u' joint in the...

We started the MABDR yesterday running South to North We completed about 75-80% of Day 1 an landed in Mt Roan SP CG. All tar roads today. Here's my day journal. Day 11 More rain overnight, yet not the heavy downpours we have encountered. Getting used to packing the tarp up wet.. it’s new home...

We delayed by a week and heading out this afternoon. We stay in the Delaware State Forest (PA) tonight.

You had said you were heading that way home as well and I figured.. What the heck! Nice run through there!

The way back we'll be checking online for spots. Figure we'll need one as we cross into PA and just before we leave PA. I'm thinking I may jump off MABDR and switch to NEBDR about mid state. Haven't really worked through this part yet. I'd like to return home using 'some' of the NEBDR, thinking...

I wasn't pushing for too deep in being I have no clue what they look like. Just wanted something along the way. Coming back is a different story since I'll be running much of the MABDR. I believe I'll once again being running up through the PA State Forest system. I'm still planning this out and...

We are heading down Skyline/Blue Ridge/Smokie's Parkways then heading north through the NF's back to NH. I figure we'll run the MABDR up as we leave the NF's. Most I read about the MABDR is sections 2 & 8 have the technical spots. Can anyone elaborate a bit on the run?

Okay, thank you! Yellow pine is also one of them. You pasted it on your way in.

Have you been to Yellow Pine near Milford? I'll be in there a couple weeks from now for an overnight.

Off track went towards the suggestions beyond the original posting and why. Did no imply anything needed deleting. I did say even those posts had validity according to what was said. All was welcomed and received as posters intended.
