This week, Skunkape and Pheonix chat a little bit after Hurricane Milton makes it's was through Florida, to find out how each faired through the storm.

And since we just had to deal with the storm and rain, we figured that we would talk some about tarps and which type we each use when we are headed out for some camping and may encounter a storm or two while out there.
