    That's so clever. I want to get the zip on mine. But at the same time, I didn't want to permanently modify it. This is a brilliant idea.

    A very clever mod for those not wanting to poke new holes in there lavvu. Well thought out sir.

    Adore your videos. Been watching for years. Its always a very calming experience so great to see you out and about again with Cooper. The Polish Army Lavuu has become very popular.. I'm sure a lot of folk will appreciate those mods you have made.

    • @wawhiker
      @wawhiker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very kind comments, and we do appreciate you coming along with us on our adventures all these years. You are right about the Lavvu - I wanted to give something back to all the Lavvu campers that I have had the pleasure to watch here on TH-cam.

    Glad to see you both out and enjoying the outdoors. I am also looking forward to your overnighter as long as it’s good enough for the extremely cold weather lately. If you wanted an area to be able to sit outside of your tent and not get wet you could get a larger or longer tarp. I’m sure you thought of that though. That also means more weight, so that would possibly be a drawback. Thanks for sharing. See you on the next one. I love Cooper so much.

    • @wawhiker
      @wawhiker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Happy to be out sharing our adventures with you. Cooper really likes this Lavvu tent. He wanted to stay inside it. We do have a larger/longer tarp - (maybe that is what Cooper was waiting for). And we got our snow yesterday... Thank you Alice!

    Love your videos wawhiker and cooper. You’re very ingenious. I really liked your pellet stove awhile back. I did the same with my two halves of a Canadian military pup tent only I stapled the zipper on the two halves. Worked well for a couple of uses but not strong enough for repeated uses

    • @wawhiker
      @wawhiker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! We are looking for the right weather to fire-up the pellet stove this season - hope to make it happen soon. Good idea with the staples BTW.

    I hadn't made hot cocoa for a while until right before watching your video. We had our drinks together, cool, huh! As always it is a great video and wonderful sights and sounds and inventions, and Cooper and you, with the great voice. What more could anyone ask for...? Thank you for sharing your adventure, and take care.

    • @wawhiker
      @wawhiker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We were two days too early with the hot cocoa, or maybe our cocoa brought the snow, or you had snow with your hot cocoa. Cooper's backyard was full of this area's first snow this morning and he loved it! The snow and more cocoa was kinda magical today. The simple things in life, enjoy them all.

    What a clever idea! For those that haven't watched it yet jump in at 2:36 and you can leave at 8:27 unless you want to jealously watch a man brew hot chocolate (I'm typing this at the end of November).
    I could never camp that close to a babbling brook - I'd be up and down all night needing to pee!

      A buttoned "ridge cap" may just be the ticket. I'm trying first to seal up the canvas along the button area with some Greenland wax from Fjällräven. Appreciate your suggest, and the next option to try. Thanks!

  • @davidthompson1622
    @davidthompson1622 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Am I missing something here ? ....while it seems a nice easy way of installing a zip, it has made your shelter no longer waterproof, so that you have to have a separate tarp over the top to stay dry......and people are commenting that it’s the best Lavvu modification they’ve ever seen ??

      Hi Mark! Yes - the lavvu would be challenged in our neck of the woods. I'm looking forward to taking this out late spring early summer. I finally decided to grab one now - a medium. The large have been sold out for a while now at Military Mart (UK). Some buyers (off Ebay) are getting mis-matched pairs (large matched with medium, small with medium, etc). Always appreciate you stopping by.

    I noticed you own a Akto, I just recently purchased one W/ the footprint & I'm getting into backcountry hunting by backpacking for 4-7 day trips. Last night we had some really good snow fall over here in Tacoma so I set it up to give it a test run & I thought it was a tight fit... Amazing tent , great quality materials and engineering But I just can't afford to get the black label like I want so in your opinion would you keep the akto or get the new Nemo Tenshi 2p. I get 20% off on it if I want and I can still return my tent for full refund.

      Hey Frank - snow here in Snohomish too. I went the same route as you. I did keep the Akto but a one person just does not have the room for all the winter/snow gear one needs. I picked-up an ALPS Mountaineering Tasmanian 2 Person 4 season. Great reviews, great price - I like it. My Akto will be used for late winter early spring I'm thinking. I'll keep just because its a Hilleberg. If you need the space go for a 2 person for sure. Hope this helps, good luck with your decision, and enjoy it out there!

      @@wawhiker Appreciate the feedback, I'm looking at the Kuiu storm star As a replacement for this next season but like you said I'm going to keep it just because it's a Hilleberg.. If I had somebody to come with me to travel with me then I would lean towards the kuiu summit refuge 3p 4 season It's kind of like A tipi Style and it lets you use a wood stove that is the part where I would need A travel companion because someone needs to carry that even though I found a very light weight one you should look into Www.liteoutdoors.com Sells a wood stove that breaks down to the size of a one 2 liter pot & The pipe breaks down So small it can fit in most tents pole sacks, It would most definitely be able to fit in the sack that comes with the akto for its pole. But I currently use a mystery ranch 6500 and it weighs 9 pounds and sells for $900 after tax, But hopefully I can get $550 out of it that way I can purchase a Kuiu icon pro 7200 pack & And not only give myself the extra 2500 in³ of space with their Load sling option for carrying meat. My mystery ranch has a similar feature where you can stuff the meat bags in between the pack and frame. Do you do any hunting in Washington ? Is there any hunting to do in the cascade mountains?
