Backpacker Magazine GearCast: Fastpacking Pitch 101

[blugularis]

how do you keep the poles from falling down?

[blugularis]

some people say that the mosquitoes will hover at the top of the tent, and not try to come under the side, not sure if that is truth or not, but those light packers say so, the skeets are attracted to CO2 from your exhale.

[blugularis]

when I tried this my poles just fell over, how do you get them to stay up? I thought I might have to do some kind of lashing around them in the center, both ways?

damn yuppies!

[sargetheweeniedog]

not bug, snake, or massive downpour proof.

why would you do this again?

just use a silnylon tarp. its WAY lighter, cheaper and more awesome. woo

Great information. Good presentation, but I must agree with RES1ST0R (comment below) that wireless lavalier mics -- or a good boom mike -- would help a lot. Maybe just a change of room. The echo is distracting. But I'm still watching. Good work, keep it up all the same.

It would so suck if it rained while in that thing. lol

Just give it to a thruhiker for a week, not a studio_

Why don't you do more videos? You haven't had a new one in months. It doesn't take long and could gain more subscribers. PS. Use a room with less echo problems.

I'm a subscriber. Link some of these videos to your website please. Try it ouside next time, too. Thanks!!!

Great video!

Hi guys, can you please work on the acoustics? I've noticed that most videos shot in this room (other videos are great) are hard to make out b/c of the echoing. Thanks!
