Nice one Rick - looked pretty rough with that wind but the tent held up well! Glad you're liking it so far! Hopefully you can get a section of pole to sort that bent bit out. Top mountain solitude there. ATB.

This is absolutely one of the most peaceful, relaxing, and soothing videos I have seen. Your creativity and spirit is so moving and touching for many of us. I find such inspiration in this because for a few years already I have struggled with my mental health and really slowly I am getting back to things that I used to be able to do with ease. You inspire me a lot and I want to thank you for it. Sending love and wishing you the best on your journey :)

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Thankyou 🙂🙂 , very much appreciated. These are the sort of messages that make the filming and sharing all worth it 🙂. I sometimes wonder why I film and can overthink it a bit but its definitely worth it when I read comments like yours 👍. Thankyou for inspiring me also 🙂. A great message to read with my morning coffee . You have a great day and keep moving forward . The Outdoors is an amazing place for us, it's where I feel most at home for sure 🙂 Atb Rick n Billydog

Brilliant adventure Rick and a belated Happy birthday pal! Cloud peak 2 did really well in those conditions. I changed the guy lines on mine and wrap them around the poles. I think it makes it sturdier. Thanks a lot for filming this. ATB

Someone's probably already mentioned it but try wrapping the cap bungy around the poles (or shortening bungy a bit then wrap round poles) will really firm up the structure. Also I have upgraded the guy lines and pegs. Solid tent now.

@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Even better news. Yeah North America is a bugger with their medical insurance. When I complete their forms and tell them my medical history then, the only thing they'll treat me for is a HEADACHE.
