Looks like a great time! Maybe I missed something but what was the concern on the battery from?

Yeah, it's on the editing room floor.

That was my first flight in six-ish months and when I got to the hangar the battery (which needs replacing) wasn't able to start the plane. So I was thinking maybe I should leave things running and get the battery charged (was still indicating that it was charging).

Did have trouble the next day, but managed to barely get it going before having to resort to a jump start.

Nice video, as usual. Same thing happened with my motorcycle and hangar car batteries after sitting the winter, even though I use a battery tender. I enjoyed the fire building, something I need to work on. I always take a stove and fuel and haven’t challenged myself properly. I do try to have veggies chopped up ahead of time and am getting better at ice chest strategy, but I’m a bit of a greenhorn camping-wise.
