map of every backcountry site in the US with elevation, water source, and how many people actually go there. nice for picking somewhere quiet.Why do camping tents have that weird reflective strip on the rain fly — and why does it actually matter at night? 🏕️ Found the breakdown with diagrams.Spent three nights camping and realized I've been setting up my tent wrong the entire time. The manual was in the bag the whole time 😅someone mapped out every maintained fire tower in the US you can actually climb, with the ones that still have someone living in them during fire season 🗺️ 🔥bought all the fancy camping gear and realized halfway through the trip that the one thing keeping me comfortable was a $12 sleeping pad from walmart while my $300 tent has a broken zipper! 🏕️😤Spent three nights in a tent with no lantern — just let my eyes adjust.
