Yeah I know, now if we could only get GOD to pick up after those peske coyotes, rabits, deer, antelope, mountain lions and bears that have owned those trails a lot longer than we have. just sayin. Ever wonder what they think when we go treading all over there houses and then complain about there relatives leaving dropping behind. Kick em all out were blazing a trail.

I don’t mind dogs on trails. My only objection is the piles of droppings left behind. Most people clean up after their dogs but there are a few who ruin the hike for others.

I agree with Rhonda. You’re a natural for a show like that. And the camera likes you, too. Great job, Mike.

Comment on A review of the JakPak: A jacket than turns into a tent by Mike's Road Trip

Hi Patrick, thanks so much for the kudos. Regarding your questions…yes, I think all apply. No question a real 3-4 season tent would be more ideal. However, if you are out on a day hike and don’t have a tent with you…wearing/having the JakPak gives you the option to stay over night if you want or have to. Plus, I think there are some other uses for it…if you’re caught in the rain at a sporting event or the like it would be great to have. A JakPak is certainly a lot lighter than a tent too.

I love Colorado…great state! I’ve spent most of my time in the southern part of the state, but will be in the Keystone area this summer for a conference.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and for the kind words. All the best, Mike

Mike you did a great job of reviewing this JakPak and I think you’re pretty gutsy for testing new gear on the trail.
Was there a tarp-tent secreted in your backpack…just in case? (I’m kidding)

Anyway, I wanted to check in and see if after many months you had any more to say about the product.

My two biggest concerns are bugs and water proofing.
It looks like bugs could easily crawl between the overlap of the jacket’s bottom hem and the leg portion, even with the netting in place.
For than matter, I’m also wondering if rain could blow up that overlap or in onto your face from the bug netting tent-side?
Obviously it’s not a 4 season tent in terms of “360 degree” protection, so I’m really just wondering if summer bugs or a summer squall ever got to you?

Lastly, can us side-sleepers use this thing or will it just crumple as a sleeper turns?

Love the site, glad you are doing segments for ABC15 now, and as a native Coloradan I really appreciate the great reviews. I can’t believe I missed you being here last month!

Best regards and best of luck in 2012
