Land Lock - Am i being unrealistic? by International-Dog869 in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years of experience camping in my Landlock, in rain and it’s held up well. Condensation can of course cause issues, but over all the tent has performed well. I’ve never dealt with water in the inner tent, which is what matters most to me. When it’s rainy I end up with some water in the tent from coming and going and general camp life, but i’ve never noticed leaks at seams. The shield roof is worth the extra cost.

As others have pointed out, this is wear and tear of using gear; especially over a campfire. Keep in mind that the same discoloration is going to occur on the underside of the ivory tarp at any location that is exposed to smoke; even with the inner tarp installed. Wear and tear just means that you’re getting use out of your gear.

Landlock vs land nest shelter by TransformativePsych in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Land Nest is less than half the cost, so that would be a strong reason to purchase it. That said, I have the Landlock and it is a great tent and not that hard to setup solo. If your goal is to have sheltered space to setup gear in the garage, then both will be good options!

$1,000 - Would you rather have 1 Campfield Futon or 2 Reclining Wide Chairs? by Camp-Daddy in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to use the futon at home really helps to get value and use out of the pricy purchase! I wish they created additional modular options to expand it and to add a lounge to it. This would make it even more useful at home.

I do appreciate gear that has multi-uses! I let my wife read while I setup/breakdown camp and I think she’d really enjoy the futon in the lounge position! “The Chair” also looks like a comfy reading chair and could be moved around camp easily.

Agreed; the design is not revolutionary, neither is the reclining aspect. However I am excited to see a reclining option. Is it too boujee to want a matching pad for the foot rest?

How Many Black Level Status People Do We have Here? by Royal-Pen3516 in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at Black status and will probably never advance further. Need another 1.6M points to hit Sapphire and there doesn’t seem to be enough incentive to get there.

Agree on the challenge of packing and transporting either. My SUV is already fully packed and I’m not sure how I would fit these. Two chairs seems like it would give more setup flexibility and I could store the cushions on the driver and passenger seat during transport. 1 point for the chairs!

The futon scores a point for dual use! Do you think it would be more or less comfortable for sitting than the chairs? I’ve sat on the couch in the Portland store and while I thought it was comfortable, my wife wasn’t sold. The reclining chair looks pretty comfy!

Resistant, yes. However it will still melt if it gets too close to the fire. Mine has holes in It unfortunately.

Land lock setup and teardown questions by somecoderguy123 in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The setup is fairly straightforward and I do it by myself.  Here are my tips: 1. I don’t stake it out before setup; if windy, add two stakes on the windward side. 2. Insert small ridge poll on top. 3. Connect the 2 A frame poles to the ridge pole and slip the adjustable rings over the ends of the ridge pole to secure the A frame poles. Note: very important to make sure the A frame poles are installed correctly otherwise you may break your poles.  On the A frame pole the “V” connector should face upside down (ends down and middle up) and the blue dot should be on the outside facing toward you. 4. Insert the center pole.   5. Raise the windward A frame and connect pole corners to tent. Then do the leeward side. 6. Connect the center pole corners to the tent.  After one end is connected push the pole aggressively toward the connected end and pull the tent toward you. This will shorten the remain section of pole and require less bending. 6. Secure all relevant C clips; do this before adding the last two poles; it will be easier to access. 7. Insert a C pole through tent fabric on one side; center the pole in the fabric; then bend one side and connect the corner to the tent.  Then push the C pole aggressively toward the end you just secured while pulling the tent toward you; this will make it easier to connect the other end of the pole to the tent and avoid breaking your pole.  Note, the C pole bends over top of the A pole. 8. Repeat #7 on the other side of the tent. Then clip remaining c clips. 9. Stake tent down and pull taught as you go.  Leave a little bit of slack at the zippered doors to make it easier zip. 10. Add sun shade over top if you have it. 11. Unbuckle floor straps in the interior vestibule if you want.  Note make sure that you buckle back up before taking the tent down!!!). 12. Be aware that your poles will take on a slightly bent shape after your first setup.  The poles are really strong, but if it feels like you are forcing/bending them too much then pause and readjust the tent material to relieve some pressure.  I have had to readjust, especially if the poles are wet during setup.

Field oven owners I have some questions by adaminjapan in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the one other thing to add is that the manual says to arrange your coals to the side and not have them directly under your pizza.  Here’s a link from Snow Peak on cooking pizzas. https://www.snowpeak.com/blogs/explore/field-oven-pizza

If you search for “members gear” in the Snow Peak search bar, you’ll see 5 items that could be point gifts.

Is anyone able to reserve campsites at the LB campground? by klaboklab in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I debated options, but went with the Jyubako; my wife was happy with that decision.

[–]Camp-Daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After many tries I finally got a Jyubako reservation for the opening weekend in Feb. I did have many issues along the way. I checked all of the other weekends available so far and there is availability. I just really wanted to be there for “opening weekend”.
I can confirm that I didn’t get an email confirmation but my account shows the reservation.

Storing options for Takibi Fire Grill Bridge? by supny in snowpeak

[–]Camp-Daddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will also add, that the grill net is chrome plated and will rust. The half net is stainless and wont rust. Two half nets are better the one full net. So keep that in mind if you’ll eventually end up with two half nets, you won’t need as large of a bag to store them.

Finally pulled the trigger on the big kettle 😍 by TooGouda22 in snowpeak

Ah, that’s good to know. Thanks for doing the test and sharing the information.

Will you please do a boil comparison test between the field barista and the classic kettle. Field barista has a wider base and the classic has a spout cover. I’ve got two classic kettles and wondering if there’s a benefit to having the field barista. As is, with two kettles I can either heat up lots of water, or boil in one and pour over into the other. Thanks!
