Dick: Here we are at our campsite place—nice and flat, comfy, well drained, all that stuff.
Laura: Lot of trees and water.
Dick And I want tent to put up and it is called the Way Len tent
Laura: Way Len Tent
Dick: Now this gentlemen, Colonel Thomson Waylen, was one of the best known sportsman, hunters and writers of the past 75 years down in the States. And he liked to travel with the light weight, he liked to have comfort and so he was using a lean-two type of tent rather than an enclosed one, which is open at the front…
Laura: Right.
Dick Allows you to have a fire, be comfy in any season of the year, I have been using this since I was a teenager. I get it on my every trip.
Laura: Sound like good times.
Dick: Would you help me to put it up?
Laura: I love to help you, yes.
Dick: Okay, let get out it. What we need to do first is to find the ridgeline.
Laura: Ridgeline.
Dick Hold it at about this height, you want to get in other end? Lift them all, get in the middle and just push in the middle on that. Pull it up here, alright, now pull the top. We are done.
Laura: So here we are in our open phase lean two style tent but I am not quite sure Dick, why this more than beneficial all this openness, I think, I am cold?
Dick: Now first I want to tell you that this tent is made down in Minnesota, by prosper, where I grew-up. And I had spent literally thousand of nights under the Waylen I am into and one of the reasons why is I like the spaciousness, look around you, you got tremendous amount of space for a very small amount of weight. We have really four seasons comfort—with the fire in the front when gets it really cold we put a reflector behind the fire and then look at the kind of view that we have staying contact wit the rising and setting of the sun, watch the Northern Lights, and I did call the moose from here.
Laura: I would like to hear you do that.
Dick: Alright, that is a love-sick cow moose and bulls come for it. Now, we need to have that fire I was talking about.
Laura: Right.
Dick Okay so that is what we are going to do now.
Laura: Great.
