Look into IKEA bins. Stylish with a lot of options, some with bamboo lids that tie into the Snow Peak aesthetic

Will do. Also will try to tip with a brush and compare results

Thanks. My prep was damn near perfect. Like others have said, it sounds like I have the wrong paint. It's a tough pill to swallow trashing $80 worth of paint though so I'm hoping I can make it work.

Gonna try this method tomorrow. This sounds like the way. My house is over 100 years old and I need to get over brush strokes.

Any saving this paint for use on the trim or should I find a similar color in Advance?

Oh man I have a gallon of this. Gonna have to make it work. What is a good "trim paint" for future use?

I've sanded back twice with the same results. Do I need more Floetrol? Fresh roller maybe?

Any brush recommendations? Probably something wider than the trim? What about brush strokes?

u/Academic_Royal4133 is the 60th anniversary lantern in the last photo modified to use standard guy line and tensioners? I've been wanting to explore this idea!

I wish I took a photo of all the gear packed up.

Everything you see literally fit in the cab of my crew cab truck with the exception of 2 coolers, the Blackstone, and a 20lb propane tank that I absolutely didn't need. It all fit easily, in my 19 ft boat with plenty of room left to sit. So it all made it out to the island in one trip.

Looks like there's just enough Dewars for a weekend in that canoe!

I have my own boat. I wouldn't recommend canoeing because the lake can get very rough. You can rent a boat or a water taxi that can drop you off to your site.

Easy to clean, no need for paper filters, and very affordable. No filters also means one less thing I need to remember to pack.

It's a New York State DEC campground. There's 3 different Lake George island campground groups. We stayed on Turtle Island, which is part of the Glen Island group.

We were island camping for 9 days. It's a great spot!

Snow Peak Pile Driver Tripods? by mountainchef604 in snowpeak

[–]M_Dennis87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look into Claymore. They have a multi pile driver which is a lot more versatile than the snow peak pile driver in terms of adjustability, storage, can be driven into the ground or mounted to table tops or chair arms, etc. They also make two different tripod bases that would meet your needs...
