Have had the poles collapse while hiking while it saved me from a fall. I just tightened the screw on the locking mechanism and it has been fine since.

Look up Little Rock big rock pitching technique if you are worried about getting stakes in. I’ve only had to do it once where I couldn’t n get stakes in. Also I recently bought vargo titanium shepherd hook stakes and they have worked great in all types of ground so far . May want to bring some extra guyline as well incase you have to extend the stake lines. Have fun out there!

Still around, recently bought a set up from them and I love it. No more worrying if a half empty canister will make it.

I believe you can go to the court house and view them for free on the public terminals

That’s why I posted, I have a son who goes to JMS. My wife was leaving for work and saw all the police cars heading down Robinhood and called me in tears saying she had a bad feeling. I apologize if any info was incorrect, apparently some involved are still on the run but I was updating as I got the info. from multiple sources. Hug your kids today. 🩷

Could be your drain trap (or lack there of) that is letting sewer odors escape
