Damage Report

[KiltedPrivateer]

So this entire TRF season has been awesome as far as weather is concerned.  This final weekend, I believe everyone (including the cold weather loving yankees *said with a big smile*) will agree, was so much better than last year.

BUT - Like last year, our camp took some damage thanks to those pesky winds that came in.  We had two tents that lost a pole (broken) each.  Both arbors (Texsport) broke a pole.  However, out of 7 tents and two arbors, that is not bad.

How did everyone else fare?

Well, I had a collapsed tent around 6th weekend, which fell under the weight of a huge storm that hit Todd Mission during that week. My tent was set up in participants, and left there just like all the others. But alas, it was not meant to hold up. All it took to temp repair it until I could order the new hubs was some twine and duct tape. But, it's in perfect condition now, so YAY!!!

Oh, and my boots blew out. They were talking to me as I left the TRF grounds for the last time this weekend...

somewher between highland fling and this past weekend i would up with a slightly bent tent pole, but other than that...unscaved!

I lost both mine and Sin's ezups, plus breaking two tent poles in the same weekend.  1 ezup and tent poles have been replaced.  I also seem to have misplaced a air bed air pump, but that's not a huge problem.

One bent tent pole in the high winds Friday of Highland fling weekend, repaired using the handlyman's secert weapon.  Lost a tarp the same weekend but they are desposable anyway.

One stolen radar detector from leaving the truck unlocked one night. Otherwise unscathed.

My boots died somewhat painfully 2nd weekend but I was able to score a perfectly acceptable pair of cheap footwear so it's all good. Now I'll have time to save for the Native Earth's I've been eyeing.

Coleman hot water on demand
Not exactly broken... i think...not sure what the deal is on that thing
It was a great system for 2 years and the second half of this year has been nothing but trouble on it... sending it in for repairs

*several rum bottles seem to have leaked also... at least they are empty now so... dunno*

Teach we had issues with ours and condensation dropping onto the burner below the water box. After a certain temp the condensation is awful and puts out he flame when it drips on it.

We have to modify our shower we had made to hang off the back of the jumping jack trailer...cold canvas on naked skin isn't fun! When the wind picked up, it was blowing the shower canvas really bad, so we have to find a way to make it more sturdy in windy weather.

Other than that, we had no mishaps with our new tent. It was such a nice tent to sleep in!

That was the original problem. Now it wont even try to light for more than a second regardless of temp or humidity. I also realized that I had a lot less water pressure than Lady Ann and Tim's and think that mine just may be a lemon.
I am going to try sending it off to Coleman to have it fixed and see how that works.

*wonder if I should have tried pumping rum through it...*

Strawberry Loki supply went the way of the dodo of the course of the faire, as did my first pair of boots.

Packing up on Sunday we had a fun time chasing down a runaway shower enclosure...
