    We got a 2 person pop up tent in 1980. Husband sprayed it with scotch guard and seam seal. We camped east-west across the USA twice. And north-south about a dozen times. Never a leak. And we camped in some real wrath of god storms on the prairie.

    8:22 mark: I find myself having way more laundry to do in the winter because I require more layers of clothing. Even though I wear a new dress every day in the summer and have to dirty up towels to regularly wipe off sweat, it still creates way less laundry in the long run for me (here in Indiana). 🤦‍♀🤷‍♀
    The new pirate badge looks great. 👍

    Hello M & P, Happy Wednesday! 😽💕
    I give my cat's hairball treats everyday. It helps with your Penny situation you went through. No polite word for the "situation." But they always pick a great place to do it. Like your bed or your shoe! 🙀
    I'm pretty sure you have Pet Valu in calgary. The treats are called Head to Tail daily cat formula in a yellow and green bag. The good thing about it is if Penny doesn't like them, you can return them. Pet Valu is very good about returns.😻

    Try using that black reinforced house roofing tar for roof holes. Takes a week or so for complete dried hard, but that stuff is great on metal roof to seal it. Used it on a trailer roof, then later used cool white silicon paint over it.

    That made me laugh out loud. The Stampede parade is about 5km in length and takes almost 2 hours to pass any point on the route. it is about the same length as 25 Calgary Towers laid end to end. You gotta get down there about 5 hours early at best.1/2 an hour? that was to good. I used to live downtown and suffered through it a few times.....moved.

    My 8x8 canopy has the rail system that I can slide bolts in and adjust for the mounting bracket, I used my ladder rack mounts to mount my canopy to, it also allows me to slide my canopy about 2 feet forward or backwards, mine has been good so far, I also use a couple of guide ropes as tie-down so the canopy stays in place, if I can't drive the guide rope stakes in the ground I'll use weights or some sort of tie down to secure it. Keep those videos coming. I enjoy your channel.

    Yes i know, I'm 2 days behind, BUT... Princess Auto has the best return policy around. If you have your receipt and stand your ground they will simply give you your money back, even if you have used the product like that awning shows.....but the bent pole. Simply take it back and get a proper new unit. It is what it is....cheap as most of all their products are. You risk this but you buy the guarantee.....take it back.

    Our mifi did the same thing since we left ours plugged in all the time at our camp when were not there and the air was not off but set higher. We needed it for an app to tell us if the electrify went off. We now just keep an extra battery on hand. I bet it was because it was warm in your van on these hot days. Maybe if you put a small battery operated fan on it on days you leave the van and it is hot.
