He made the other fully grown male look small.

This is a long shot but I found a map in a very remote part of the wind river reservation over the weekend. The map had detailed notes from someone that did a pretty extensive trip out there. If it’s yours and you can describe it a little bit I’ll get it back to you or at least send you a picture so you have the notes you took. I know I’d be pissed if I lost it. Obligatory picture of a pine marten from my trip included.

We are heading camping in a couple of days, and have a new tent for the first time in 12 years. At our usual park, we got one of out favorite sites. It used to have a yurt that you could book, but the yurt has been decommissioned, and now its used as a frontcounty campsite, and you pitch your tent on the 17 foot round wooden platform left behind from the yurt.

Slight problem, the tent is approximately 14 feet by 10 feet, and after come quick calculations, will overhang approximately one inch at each corner.

How big of an issue is this? I feel like it will be fine, and my partner thinks it is not fine. I've included pics of the site and the tent. Any advice is appreciated!

Edit to add comment:

Thanks everyone! I don't think we realized just how big the tent was when we bought it. We've had a 6 person tent for the last 12 years, and it felt small.for a six person tent. I think we overcompensated with the 10 person tent.

Going to go and exchange for a smaller tent. Thanks again!

See picture above for story. My friend and I would love to find these bystanders that helped to give the biggest thanks

Picked up this Vargo Titanium Trowel recently for my poop kit. Realized the handle was quite sharp. I plan on wrapping the handle itself with paracord, but I'm not sure how to best approach the top of the trowel. I'd imagine it would dig into my palms or potentially ruin the bottom of my shoe because it's so sharp. I've seen a sort of "cap" that fits on top of The Deuce shovels, but don't know of anything like that for the one I have. Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions to the sharp end?

We know Jeffries is a speech giving political hack that is not willing to do what needs to be done, he needs to be demoted, but if this is true about Jeffries (another speech writer) , we seriously need to start kicking these f?cks to the curb!!

I’ve just gotten back into backpacking with a friend from work, after many years of not being out. We did an overnight hike on the short loop of Wildcat Hollow Trail in Wayne National Forest in Ohio. The trail overall was nice, but unfortunately, day 1 was pure rain from before we got out of the van at the trailhead until after we were asleep in our bags that night.

Nearly everything got soaked, including my hatchet and its sheath. Sheath is getting replaced as it’s all frayed now too. But I’m hoping to save the hatchet! Is there a way to clean these brown, rusty bits off? I figure that my sharpening stone will clean up the edge of the blade fine, but what should I do about the rest of the ax head?
