For these reasons, a good tent and tarpaulin will prevent you from having to end your day cold, damp and biting insects. A dry rain tent doubles as an oasis in a fierce insect cloud; Just as a tarp can be your ticket to a campfire during rainy days, or put off enough to add layers and escape the cold of a wet forest. For paddling, tent and hemp are vital, and there are a few settings that check all required squares and cover all contingencies you might hope to encounter.

The thing about kayaking excursions is that we must prepare for everything we know can happen: high winds, excessive rain, insects, or hail. The struggle is that if you’re facing the wind, you want a tent that is spacious enough to hang out comfortably inside. However, if the tent is too large and not designed for severe weather, it becomes a liability for rupture or destruction.

Other times, a Swanson thrush song can calm us down to sleep in the early morning hours. However, the one thing that does not cease to amaze is how we often find ourselves looking at our cozy tent, away from sparks of fires, or carefully tucked into a grove of rice, our home away from home in the wilderness we love, a tool for access to what It cannot be reached.
