just got back from an epic sail
I know this is a hiking forum but I had to share - just got back from a sailing trip and I'm still on a high. The conditions were perfect and we caught some amazing wind. I feel like it's really similar to hiking, you know? The thrill of being out in nature, the rush of adrenaline when you're pushing yourself to the limit. Maybe I'm just biased because I love both activities, but I think sailors and hikers aren't that different 😊. We're all just chasing that next big thrill, right? Anyway, I was thinking of planning a hike soon to keep the adventure going - anyone have any good trail recs?
Am I the only one who thinks the MSR Elixir 2 is a total pain to set up with trekking poles?
I've been using the MSR Elixir 2 for a few trips now and I'm starting to get frustrated with how finicky it is to set up with my trekking poles. I mean, I love the tent itself - it's super lightweight and the vestibule space is huge - but every time I try to attach my Leki poles to the clips, I end up struggling for like 20 minutes. Has anyone else had this issue or am I just doing it wrong? I've followed the instructions to the letter and watched YouTube tutorials, but still can't seem to get it right. I'm starting to think it's just a design flaw. Anyone have any tips or should I just stick to my old Big Agnes?
