Great Class 2 river- we did it at 1.0 on the North Oromocto gauge and had lots of water. Put in at the outflow of South Oromocto Lake, paddled up Sand Brook and took out at the bridge but the other bridge just upstream would have worked too. It is a long portage around the falls if you keep going- we have a psuedo-trail on river left by a downed spruce that gets you out in lots of time. Still needs some work though- hard to follow. Probably easier to get out or camp at Sand Brook or just downstream and walk (or cart) the road past the camp around it. Don't go over the falls by accident! Since Kyle already posted my Shin Creek video from the double header weekend, here is the South Oromocto one too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb78q9u8cB8 |

Ran it again over the weekend- water was right around 0.875 on the North Oromocto gauge and it was a bit more bony but still quite runnable. Seems like it may track the North Oromocto gauge so that if 0.8 is the minimum for the North, then the same for the South. First canoe trip with the Atuk hot tent and it was great making coffee in your sleeping bag in the morning as well as playing guitar and sipping whiskey in a t-shirt on a cold night...  |

View AttachmentWhat's the floor size? I got a seek outside BT2 and I have a hard time finding a 10 foot flat circle to mount it on. Hot tents are fun in the spring and fall though! |

I attached something I copied form wintertrekking.com. 4 is optimistic though! 2 is luxury, 3 is fine, 4 gets tight with cooking and gear with beds made, 5 can easily sit around the stove even with one person sleeping, eh Kyle? You do need a small clearing for sure. kanguksleeping.tiff (182.87 KB) |

Was looking at the ATUK tents this winter too.
Are you happy with the size? or one size bigger?
What stove are you running? And weight of stove?
Was thinking of going with the Cree just a little a bigger.
How do you find the 3 foot wall?
Would the 4 foot wall be worth the extra Quid?
Would have been easy to just going canoeing with you than answer all these questions. lolz

When pitched properly, it is pretty roomy- depends on how many people. I planned on using it for ice fishing too so wind resistance and ease of set up was most important. I have the kni-co alaskan- I think it's around 26 lbs with the pipe, cast iron damper, spark arrestor and side table. You could definitely get away with a smaller stove if size or weight are a concern- probably the one Guy recommends is fine for most winter trips or all if you have an awesome sleeping system. I wanted extra capacity and more cooking surface. In winter I mostly sit on a milk crate with a pad so the wall is high enough for me. You can still put a cot on the wall too. 4' would be better for full lawn chairs. You can also get nylon walls to cut weight. Might be one more paddling trip this year- who knows?
