    The Maine Gear Library Network is a growing coalition of community organizations working together to make outdoor adventures more #accessible, #affordable, and #sustainable.

    From #tents and #backpacks to #snowshoes and #kayaks, gear libraries around the state are helping more people get outside, regardless of income, experience, or zip code. By sharing resources and knowledge, the Maine Gear Library Network is building a culture of collaboration and sharing, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to explore and enjoy Maine’s incredible natural places.


    What is a Gear Library?

    A gear library is a community-powered lending program that provides low-cost access to outdoor equipment, such as kayaks, #bikes, backpacks, snowshoes, and more. Their models may differ, but these gear libraries share a common goal of supporting equitable access to the outdoors by removing the barrier of gear ownership, inviting more #Mainers to connect with nature."

  6. ...round2: a show of strength after successfully retrieving property stolen by #rapidresponse t3rr0r1sts...as well as picking up a wonderful #donation of more #tents from a comrade on another coast...

    essentially "...every time you take us out, we multiply...(in our numbers, our efforts, our determination, and our #solidarity.)

  7. Oh boy, #Naturehike's product lineup is confusing. Only the Cloud Up tent has the Cloud Up 20D, Cloud Up 210T, Cloud Up Base, Cloud Up Pro and Cloud Up UL. (All labelled as "ultralight" so that the Cloud Up UL is double ultralight:) Plus dozens of color variants.

    There are inconsistencies, errors, omissions in dimensions and weight on their own website, and it's nearly impossible to know which version third party shops sell, because the names/variants never 100% match.

  13. @parslii @oherrala #HammockCamping

    "I have experimented with tensegrity tarp shelters with hiking poles, but I would rather just pack a tent."

    I was expecting you to say "I would rather just pack a hammock." 😉

    I've had some success with this #tent from River Country Products in Washington state. Their tents are well made and very inexpensive.

    mdpaths.com/rrr/camping/tents/

    The two pole tent shown here has lots of ventilation (which is why I bought it). If I had it to do over I think I would buy their single pole version (mostly because I'm learning I don't really like hiking with two poles).
