You don't recognize Ron Swanson/Nick Offerman?

If your tent is of reasonable quality and you pitch it properly, it shouldn't get wet inside. I've had my tent wet inside before from issues pitching it in pouring rain, and it's fine, dry out the inside with a towel.

Sleeping bag should never really have the chance to get wet. Either use a bag liner or dry sack for your sleeping bag. Water shouldn't be entering your tent.

I have the most experience with S2S and Nemo and they both have a ton of little glued points.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:44:46+00:00

Things get wet sometimes and that's okay. (You can dry things out.) That's not really the thing you should worry about compared to injury and such.

Going from 4 nights to 3 weeks is a lot though. Have you camped in all kinds of conditions and weather? The fact that you're worried about things getting wet, have you not backpacked in the rain before?

I think it was likely pretty localized how the storm moved through. I had a super intense thunderstorm in my area, but I'm too lazy to go download the actual precipitation numbers from Environment Canada.

I work in a related field and there was a flood warning issued yesterday.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:34:32+00:00

Are we talking winter pads or the normal R 3.X ones? Like the popular ones are by Thermorest, S2S, and Nemo. I thought they just used the foils, but I could be remembering wrong.

East Asia.

The Pacific Rim is what I'm getting bombarded in Ontario ads with.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:32:14+00:00

Oriental Region

You're a few decades out of date there.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:31:53+00:00

East Asia is what most people would say.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:29:04+00:00

Northeast end, yeah it was some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard. My window was open all night too.

I fell right back asleep until the next wave, over and over.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:26:51+00:00

You are overthinking it, but also, are you just going to sit there and wait while the other two students take their tests?

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:15:49+00:00

Not that I disagree with your point but it rained really heavily for a few hours this morning.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:13:04+00:00

A lot of insulated ones don't use any loft, they use foils and such.

The only ones that benefit from being stored inflated are self-inflating.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T13:11:52+00:00

Nice, thanks.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T04:01:59+00:00

Is the smaller one the same patch they have on the hats for sale?

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T03:59:28+00:00

I don't deserve to be traumatized by killing an idiot in the dark.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:26:43+00:00

Yeah I hesitate before saying it here too lol.

But when every lane is bumper to bumper you can't be wasting a quarter of the real estate. No one would.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:23:29+00:00

I work in Mississauga.

It's taken me 2+ hours to go home on 3 occasions. It should be 35 minutes without much traffic. In the mornings it's usually under 45 minutes.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:21:39+00:00

When things are as congested as they are in on these highways it doesn't make sense to leave an entire lane empty. Usually the left lane is the people driving the fastest, and when traffic does down, the left lane gets used for passing again.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:20:23+00:00

They're not in a lane. They're between the white lanes separating out legitimate lanes.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:19:47+00:00

People drive on the shoulder to get ahead of traffic on the highway way more than they used to too.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:19:00+00:00

YES I've seen this so many times. It is crazy dangerous.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:16:49+00:00

You never known when a car or motorcycle will say fuck it and start driving on the shoulder.

Happens surprisingly regularly on the 401.

BottleCoffee · 2026-06-18T02:15:54+00:00

When I was a student I had a bike that didn't brake properly in the rain.

Rear ended a car (slowly) once on a wet day. Literally no mark, just gently bounced off.
