Question
Dave
A couple years ago my oldest son went on a mid February BWCA Winter Wilderness Trek with his high school's Outdoor Adventure class. The digital camera he brought along wouldn't work and he finally got the disposable camera pics from his buddy so, I thought it'd be fun to post about it.
Like "Father Knows Best", I was sure I knew exactly how they could stay warm and toasty for a few nights in the wilderness, so, I offered up our Canvas Craft Magnum double flip to him and his buddies.
I did mention a few times, he and his buddies should take the CC out on a trial run across a lake and see how well it pulls by hand. I rigged up a rope harness, thinking 2-3 strong high school senior young men should be able to whisk that bad boy shelter a mile or two across the frozen tundra and set up camp. Not heeding my suggestion, however, they did come back in a few days not very happy and muscles a little sore.
No doubt they were indeed warm but, pulling that size of shelter wasn't the most fun thing to do
Ok, so I had a great vision and it didn't work out the best for them in that aspect
but, I told them they should try pulling it someplace around home first!
My son did have the most comfy sleeping quarters out of the group, however, inside the magnum sled. And, the Canvas Craft did hold up to the punishment of five high school senior young men!
So, last week, my younger son and I signed him up for his senior year Winter Trek Adventure, coming up next month. What do you think my oldest son advised his little brother NOT to take?!
Looks like I'll have to come up with another shelter option, a little lighter, for his trip 
It does look like fun though!
