fellow solo trippers--the link is to a 8 minute Youtube i did of the change in the weather from a nice warm southern breeze while enjoying the view down Lady Boot Bay until the change to that lead sky and pouring rain and back to clearing and a sunset.
you will get a view of my camp setup and the home made Baker Shelter that i always brag is so much better that just a tarp.

the tent is a Hilleberg Atko..one person and tight on the inside but %100 weather proof and very light at just over 3 pounds.for many years up in the Q i used a Eureka Sun Rise,a bull frog shaped tent.it saved weight by using lots of screen and no door,just bug net there.
the tent is just a bedroom, that shelter you see is for everything else.
the weather is wild like everything else up there.i have turned about more than once to see a huge dark mass of clouds come over the shore line tree tops and dump a heap of rain on me as fast as i could pull out the poncho.
i'm just getting the hang of making,editing videos and getting them on Youtube.next project is a home made Steady Cam to take the shake and fix odd horizon lines---

Boy, I sure saw it when I was up there this fall. The one thing I really used was a weather radio. If for nothing else to get an idea of the possible winds. It was a little eiree on fishdance lake when they were tracking a bad storm and was naming off nearby lakes as to where it was. Turns out that storm set off several fires that would play a role as to where I'd end up.
