SFR Camping in the rain

[swimmy]

My hat goes off to you wet siders. I don't see how you guys do it.

I'm up on the river and it is pouring. Heck I'm even in a camper watching tv, playing on the internet, having hot tea...and this is still brutal.

Any tips you can share to survive in the wet? This could get serious....I might have to turn up the heat and take a hot shower.

So much for those cool shorts I was braggin' about....

Lots of tarps. With some Bungie cords incorporated into the tarp rigging.

I have an awning on my camper but pretty sure it is not to be used during the rain. It also can't be used when there is a breeze.

Actually, the awning is not really that useful at all.

Great idea. I might put my waders on and walk around the camper.

This ole boy next to me probably could use some alcohol. He's in a tent and that camp looks miserable.

The forecast was for sun the next few days but has degraded. It. won't. quit. raining.

sounds like you're really roughin' it....I'm praying that you'll make it through ok.

Blue tarps, and meth, one goes with the other.

It's raining? Go fishing. The fish don't care, and fishing can be quite good while it's raining.

This is the perfect opportunity to start the discussion on umbrellas.

Hells yeah
If the river is in shape fish it. That’s how we roll around here

I believe our friends in the military often employ the term Embrace the Suck.

Not sure that applies to a fancy man in his travel trailer watching TV, drinking tea, debating 70 or 72 on the thermostat and contemplating a hot shower.

I think it is cool in the rain but not when windy

 

[Dr. Magill]

Yes…….

Sounds like you weren't born with webbed feet (i.e. in Western WA), so there is no practical remedy.

It’s just something you can get used to. I’ve camped and slept on the ground in the rain in waders and a rain coat. As long as you have gear that keeps you warm that is all that matters.

@swimmy
Next winter try a night or two of snow camping. Either in a tent, self-dug snow shelter (there are several types) or igloo type build. It will change things. Today won’t seem too bad.
Skin up your boards during the day- you will be a different type of camper
