>>2540229Yah, it’s the side of a mountain near tree line, your shelter is to shield you from the elements like wind and rain.
Don’t get a cheap tent if your going to the mountains.
>>2540230It’s not at the top, pretty far down actually. Just a flat spot near the structure in pic rel.
The small rocks packed in the ground aren’t uncomfortable at all.
Couldn’t feel them at all through the tyvek ground sheet, tent floor, and 3” thick air mat.
>you need to camp under trees so you have a “thermal blanket” You should have the right insulation for your environment and not count on some unquantifiable “thermal blanket” from trees that varies wildly.
>people camped nearbyI’m pretty sure the spot was used, but highly doubt regularly since it’s not on some big popular trail, and three miles away from the main portion of the mine people visit.
