My wife's family is from Grants Pass and there's nothing there but retirement homes, weed farms, and Dutch Brothers coffee stands. I don't remember seeing either of these fine fire departments when I was down there, but it definitely seems par for the course.

It looks like the port covers are secured to the outside. Guess you better have your windows shuttered before you shove out. Also not having any information about an anchoring system in an ad video that recycled itself and looped like 3 or 4 times seems like a big miss.

yeah the anchoring part is important. people sleep on canoes and rafts if necessary on a water voyage, it can be easier than setting up a camp on shore. but it's a super bad idea to just drift around while you're asleep

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

The only tent that will survive decent winds is staked down. One of the funniest things I've ever seen was watching some old dipshit boomer run after his tent as it flew through the Anza-Borrego desert, after telling me: "Oh, it's all good, my stuff will hold it down". Poor dumb rear end in a top hat chased that loving thing for like three miles before it finally got stuck on some rocks and a bunch of octillos. It was completely shredded by that point, so he had to walk back to camp with a bundle of rags and sleep outside, on a tarp, in the desert.

And that was only the start of two week trip :getin:

I was just thinking that. You'd need to be real familiar with the local critters. I imagine things could go poorly for you in gator country too.

Or even, like, beaver country. Curious mammals sniffing around your land tent while you sleep is usually harmless. But a curious beaver swimming around exploring your tent and maybe trying to climb onto the new 'island' could be a real bad time. Or muskrat. Or river otter. Those animals aren't usually nocturnal, but may begin their day hours earlier than a sleepy human camper. Racoons are nocturnal and well armed for tent/raft destruction.

And that's assuming a merely curious animal, and not the rare attack beaver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_attack

You bet your rear end I would be in the middle of a lake. If I'm camping, it's to get away from other living things.

Some friends of mine had a boat.

The trailer needed some work done, so they launched the boat. My friend took it out on the lake while her husband pulled the trailer to the shop.

It’s a nice day. She pilots the boat to a quiet cove, moors it, and quickly falls asleep in the Sun.

She wakes suddenly. There is a large, foul beast looming over her.

It was a curious cow.

Eh, that tent would be pretty fun if I had a cabin by a lake somewhere. Not really a family thing though, because there's no way I'm letting kids sleep in a closed deflate-able rubber dinghy
