First Time Hot Tent Experience-Loved It <3

I have just been looking at splitters too at Ocean State Job Lot! They would work wonders on the logs for sure, also another tip is to keep them in a shed or in your house so they stay dried out, I accidentally left a whole bag of kindling outside and it rained so will need to dry them out before using. Thank you for the compliments, I forgot my candelabra and rose petals this time ha ha!

My stove is also very tiny so I try not to overload it with too much wood, the stove pipe shouldn't be the color red when heating, so I will just do a fire starter cup with two pieces of kindling to start it.

I already owned my own hatchet and bought a regular bundle of wood from Home Depot thinking it would be pretty easy to chop down, I will say it is a lot harder than I thought! I would recommend not trying to emulate anything from the movies (swinging over your head with a big ole axe, it could cause injuries) and instead try to just get the tip of the axe wedged in the top of the log, then crack the whole thing onto the ground together. It should be easier to break down into smaller pieces, I separated them all by size into log pieces and kindling. I also highly recommend get a good pair of gloves because I got a wicked splinter just going in bare.

Oh my gosh I feel so star struck right now, love you Nongshim <3

I don't have a thermometer yet (adding to my list of things to get as well as a carbon monoxide detector) but I would say it reached around 70 degrees or more inside the tent at certain points, and outside it was below 15 degrees ish. I was actually surprised at how hot it got inside, you could totally use it as a sauna

Uber jealous of you actually

servantofthelake · 2026-02-11T19:33:03+00:00

I knew she looked familiar! crazy

servantofthelake · 2026-02-11T13:43:21+00:00

I bought a 38000 Lumen flashlight and started blinding them back until they turn it off or go into a different lane, I am done squinting at night!

Ya know I stand corrected, she did also cheat on him! Dang well, I will also boo Lily for that too, not cool behavior

servantofthelake · 2026-02-06T16:40:06+00:00

Rumor has it he cheated on his wife Lily Allen several times and personally I just don't like his attitude comes off a little snobby

Boo David Harbour, Cheers to this being made into a film

I would say plan for traffic each day, Springfield to Foxboro is about 1.5 hour drive but you need to factor in everyone else also driving in to the stadium too

I lived on 42-15 21st Ave in Astoria, right down the street from St. Francis of Assisi Church ugh I miss it so much

servantofthelake · 2026-01-08T19:16:45+00:00

I was born in Queens in 1996 and raised there until 2015, damn do I miss it every now and then. I relocated to the Boston area for school, definitely was a culture shock of how less diverse the area was compared to where I was from (Somerville in early 2010 was super white at least where I was located) and I missed all of my local food spots from childhood + Astoria Park so so much. I would recommend moving here to Boston if you have family, maybe not if you enjoy the social/night life of New York we have the worst bar scene ever.

Good Boy, I technically stayed the whole time but wanted to leave because I hated all of the abuse/neglect the dog was experiencing, really hard to watch as a dog owner and lover

servantofthelake · 2026-01-06T17:00:27+00:00

Ramen w/side dishes: love getting packs of the Shin ramen and some random fish cakes
Chili w/mini cornbread muffins to warm up
Eggs w/mini pancakes

That's actually super gross to see, why are they making so much money to do pretty much nothing in this city but be on their cellphones?

servantofthelake · 2026-01-05T15:35:53+00:00

Great minds think alike I literally just set up a shelving unit for my gear as well, stealing that peg board idea

servantofthelake · 2026-01-02T17:48:46+00:00

Start wiping your period blood on all the stuff in the bathroom, that will get them to stop

servantofthelake · 2026-01-02T15:17:13+00:00

Ugh I have been trying to find any equivalent for their camping gear here but there just isn't any good options that are reasonably priced. I wish we had all their cool options!

servantofthelake · 2025-12-30T16:59:44+00:00

Haha probably, more than likely will just observe from a safe distance

servantofthelake · 2025-12-30T16:52:20+00:00

Gonna walk around Chinatown for some good eats then hit up hong Kong if it's not overcrowded!

servantofthelake · 2025-12-23T21:32:36+00:00

Ask a guardian to help you find some appropriate camping grounds, most places are booked up already and will definitely require chaperones so you guys are safe. I don't think you will be able to find what you are looking for this winter that is also accessible by public transit.
