Whatcha talkin about, meng.
I have a 4 season single wall tent for really cold weather (carryover from midwest) and a standard 3 season tent, which holds up fine to Texas winters.
For winter clothing (and performance clothing in general) I always use synthetics (like polypropilene and polyester) or merino wool. Natural fibers like wool are more expensive, so I normally stick with synthetics. They offer performance very similar to wool with less cost.
Picked up a new set of polypropilene thermals (top and bottom), a new pair of boxers and a new cold weather vest, along with a pair of Darn Tough wool hiking socks. Have plenty of hiking socks, but I saw a sale on amazon that I couldn't pass up.

Years ago I was tent camping in March and we got dumped on with snow. Every hour someone had to get up to knock the snow off the top of the tent as it was sagging a lot more than it ever should. I dont know if it went over 32* the entire weekend. When I took my jeans off for the night I thought they were dry. Nope, they were clearly not very dry. In the morning they were flat and frozen. Nice layer of ice on them as well.
On a plus side we built a big ass fire that resulted in standing around it in short sleeve shirts and about a 20' radius from the center that had no snow left.

A regular 3 season tent won't support much snow. Denim and cotton are horrible for any outdoor activity.
Good gear makes outdoors much, much more enjoyable; in any kind of weather condition.

Was reviewing some videos from today at the track.
Came across something I did not expect.
Under hard braking, it's shooting sparks from the brakes........
I bet the rotors were glowing.

What do you all think about someone that knows their warrenty is gone with the mods they've done but tries to sell it and claims the warrenty is intact. (Not talking about me)

Mods do not automatically void warranty, especially not warranty as a whole. In general, a warranty claim may be denied and warranty may be void on a part if the part failure was a result of an aftermarket modification.
So, if you installed a larger turbo and popped your motor, your motor warranty will likely be voided. However, if you installed an larger turbo and your wheel bearing broke at 5k miles, then they can't deny warranty work on that, as the larger turbo itself cannot cause the wheel bearing to fail. So, the shop has to prove that the part in claim was damaged by an aftermarket addition.
That said, this area is very gray and dealers will generally err on the side of denial of warranty work and the burden of proof rests on the consumer and not them in real world.

Porting an intake manifold would void the powertrain warrenty.
And this person claimed the powertrain warrenty was still intact.
When you physically remove material from your engine that chevy didnt intend you to then its voided. I couldnt see chevy servicing a car under warrenty with that done if they seen it.

Hmmm I don't know about that.
Larger turbo plus larger, better tires would theoretically put much more strain on the wheel bearing assuming we are talking about a front wheel bearing on a FWD car.

We can split hairs, but you know what I mean. The mod has to directly cause the failure.
