This is very informative thanks. I’ve printed a lot of PLA on my Creality glass plate with no issues, but I recently started with PETG and it’s insane how much harder it sticks.
I learned through trial and error to only remove it while the bed is still hot, but even then it really sticks too well.
Rain is one thing, a rainstorm is another.
I’ve been caught in the rain and I was fine. I read online that you can get a rain fly that folds around the edges and closes up the ends and keeps out spray and such.
I imagine in a rainstorm you’d be pretty miserable in a tent too, depending on where you were in relation to running ground water 🤷♂️
Nice! My first night was a decent rain too, I like the sound of rain on the tarp.
So far I really like it! Or at least I like the idea of it. I love not having to roll up a heavy dirty wet tent. And it feels pretty comfortable to sleep, if a bit confined.
The problem is that I’ve done three nights now, and each night has been down in the high 20s low 30s fahrenheit. I’ve been warm enough, but just barely. My top and underquilt are only rated for 40, so I’m sure I’d be warmer if I had better gear or if it were just a little warmer. So it’s hard to say how comfortable I could actually be. My buddy on this trip was in a tent with a 20 degree bag and he was cold too, so it’s possible that it was just bad conditions.
The other problem is that I’m 6 foot 1, and my hammock is only 8 foot. Everything I’ve read says I’d be better off with a 9 or 10 foot hammock, but I’m not ready to spend even more money just yet.
Thanks!
I have felt vulnerable yes, I had one experience where I woke up and thought I heard my buddy walking through the leaves, but then I heard him still snoring. I got a little freaked out, and listened closely, I was just hearing things. But maybe I would’ve felt the same in a tent? Maybe it was just because I was out in the middle of nowhere, which was new for me.
Accidentally left my tent stakes at home, so I had to anchor my rain fly with sticks I whittled notches into.
