Today's POD:  Not much of a "kitchen area" to work with on island Site #18.  My CCS 10' X 14' tarp was deployed more as "shade" from the unrelenting sunshine versus protection from rain.  We would have quickly run up a center line to shed water had any real storm threatened.  While this was the "backside" of the island, we received just enough swirling breezes off the big open waters of LLC to cool us down.  The protected swimming hole was a blessing, as well.

Is today's POD campsite 150? If so, I was shut out of this one on my trip. It's a popular destination. I settled for 153  little on down the line. I like that red tarp setup.

Thx Jimbo....curious as to why Helinox' own website has such different info.

IMHO, while it's acceptable to call an inukshuk a cairn, it's just plain wrong to call a cairn an inukshuk.

Thanks to Wally13 for the afternoon loan of his ENO (SingleNest) hammock with ladder straps.  It was very comfortable swinging in a light breeze and I soon drifted off for a snooze.

Although I always take a nylon "string" hammock for such lounging around camp, it is often a bit difficult to "situate" in to drift off for a nap.  So, using the ENO hammock found itself with an easy convert.  I now own TWO such hammock/strap combinations, AND I can guarantee that I'll be taking one along on each future trip that is base-camp oriented.

Thanks again, Wally13.

If you are so inclined to go this route (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) still has these hammocks for $25.00, although it looks like they have sold out of the ladder straps.
