2019 Field Day was once again a solo effort vacation camping at Carolina Beach.Â
WX: 2019 WX was for the most part much better than 2018’s trip to the same location. Temps were cooler, but the rain played a game of cat-n-mouse for the duration Saturday and Sunday. Lessons learned in 2018 led me to use a picnic table and a tarp cover for the station, and limit the tent to sleeping and dry storage. This worked very well, and is the plan for all future outings of this nature.

CAMP: Arriving on site Thursday afternoon, setting up the camp was not rushed by anything besides the chance of rain. So the tent went in first, and the shade tarp was set up over the table for a rain refuge. The shade tarp/screen tent is the NoBugZone, an idea I got from a vid by youtube channel “Outdoors On the Air”,  ordered from a sporting goods company in Canada.Â
