I’m slowly getting there. My tent is at the house but I’m stuck on a boat for another month.

Nice start!
That is some good looking kit so far and I am a wee bit jealous. It's not that I believe in "keeping up with the Joneses" it's just that this year forced us to sell the house really fast and move way too close to the city and I have to get into the wilderness soon before I go mad...

If'n I was into that, I wouldn't hesitate to screw to the gates. I would use something like this with a short rope. Pull one end to close the main gate, then pull the other end for the mid gate after closing step...

I spend 6 months a year on a boat. It’s nice to stand on earth that isn’t vibrating.

I get what you're saying I don't get your lifestyle. I took a tiger Cruise on an aircraft carrier from Pearl Harbor over to San Diego and then up to Washington state. I would have gone crazy out there if it wasn't for the M2's hanging off the back, the incredible food, and the great airshow. It's definitely not for me. I need trees, rocks, and water around me well just a river I don't need to be on an ocean.

I had to look up Tiger Cruise. That’s pretty cool.

I spend most of my time pushing barges on many of Americas inland rivers but the Mississippi River mostly from St. Paul to NoLa.

OK that sounds really cool but I still need trees around me with dirt and rocks under me

Well my rooftop tent arrived at the shop today. I’m pretty sure it fell out of the truck at some point along the way.

I wasn’t there to receive it and the shop personnel didn’t refuse it but I’m talking to the seller. It appears to be somewhat minor cosmetic damage. I’m hoping I can work out some kind of deal with the seller but obviously I would want to inspect it myself.
