Staying Cool

We're home from what I'd say is one of the hottest Memorial Days camping that we've had in quite a long while.  It was uncomfortable to even sit outside and read for the most part, that is until I brought out this new item that we bought for the Pod.

 

 Outdoor Misting Hose

 

 

 

We actually found a similar item to the one above for a bit less and a different brand than the above one at our local Lowe's, but I can't find it on their website so here is the Amazon equivalent for you folks.

 

I gotta say, wow, what a difference this thing makes.  We dropped one of the sides of the dome down, put this up above our heads and set and oscillating fan near where the mist was spraying down.  It blew a relatively fine mist all around the dome area and within a minute or so I absolutely swear it, that we were near being chilly when minutes before 96 degree thick muggy hot air was near impossible to sit in.

 

I won't say it's perfect because this mist does accumulate and I eventually got a bit wet but I think positioning could be played with a bit and I'd like to have it higher up on the center pole of the Rdome.

 

I've read that maybe a nozzle fitting that is entirely brass might produce a finer mist and I've found complete brass ones also at Amazon, so it's definently something to play with.

 

All in all it's another great addition to the Pod, hot mooses are unhappy mooses!
