What I meant was about the talking heads going on and on about the tent. Anyone that tours or backpacks and camps is going to use a small tent. There is nothing amazing about his choice in shelters. It is the only thing practical if your choice of lodging is camping.

He hasn't finished yet. If the post above is correct that he is going to break the ride to Houston up in 2 days then he is not going to make DC on time if he continues that practice. He seems to already have a number of long days under his belt so hopefully he is just using this as a little break but he can't afford too many more.
