Question about hitting 50 nights in my tent this year and what it made me realize
I logged my 50th night in my REI Half Dome 2 last weekend at a spot near Leadville, Colorado, and that number caught me off guard. I always figured I was a weekend warrior doing maybe 15 or 20 nights a year, but keeping a simple log in my phone showed I was way off. The weird part is my gear held up fine, which makes me second guess every review I have ever written about stuff failing on me. Anyone else track their actual nights out and get surprised by the total?
Man, that log thing got me too when I finally started one last spring. Mine said 38 nights when I would have sworn up and down it was closer to 20, and I blamed a ripped stuff sack on the tent for like a year before that. What made you start keeping the log in the first place, a trip that went sideways or just curiosity?
