Our newest, and best addition to our camper, the American flag (which was Made in the USA!) I just have to figure out a better way to attach it to my camper now! #usa #america #proudtobeanamerican #camperlife #starcraft #rvlife #cantwaittogocampingOur @blackrockgear down hat collection is growing! These are all from the “Original” series. The black (far left) was my first purchase, almost 8 years ago. Since then it has been worn around home/town/work as well as with me on most all backpacking trips; it’s been worn while hiking, slept in, stuffed inside my sleeping bag and of course down in the bottom of my backpack. It’s only been washed once with soap, however it’s been wet from rain several times too... and it’s still holding up like a champ! The Moroccan Blue on the far right is my newest addition... it just showed up in my mailbox yesterday, and while it doesn’t have that worn, soft, familiar feel that my older black one has (yet), it does have that new, soft, snuggly feel of one that is excited to see some use! The one in the middle was an Easter special that they ran last year and I was able to snag up for my wife. And yeah, she also loves it as much as I do mine! Anywho, I love all of my Black Rock Gear hats, and can highly recommend them, so check them out!!It’s been 10 years since my wife and I stood under this arch behind the Amicalola Falls Visitor Center and started our first ever hike. And although we didn’t get to hike this past weekend, it was heartwarming being able to revisit this place last weekend for the #ATKO19. It was a great 9 year wedding anniversary from my wife... looking forward to many more years together, and more miles shared on the trail. And of course it was great getting to meet up with old and new friends while there too... and even trying out a new tent! 🤗. 📸by @benrubio21 #amicalolafalls #weddinganniversary #makingmemories #reminiscingLooking north from Forester Pass. #jmt #nobo #foresterpass #blackandwhite #iphone8+ #missingthemountains #sierranevadamountainsToday was too pretty to stay inside. After running wild at the park Luke came and laid beside me for a minute. Such a good boy.... sometimes! #dogslife #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #lukethegolden #eaterofumbrellas #beautifulday #iphone8plus #nofilterApparently, the old #chromedome #umbrellas make good chew toys... #backpacking #hiking #dogproblems #goldenretrieverphotos #goldenretrieverproblems #chewtoys #frustrated- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com

Backyard Camping Experiment Results…
So, here are my ramblings about how the gear I used worked out during the two cold nights I used it on. Also, my son briefly states how it went for him the second night…
