On my first #Scouting campout I helped put up a Baker tent for the weekend. It was made of heavy canvas and had no floor. There was a wooden pole at each side with another wooden support across the top of the doorway. The entire front was a flap that was usually flipped back over the top during the day. It was large enough for three kids.

There was also another style tent that had a tall pole in the center and was somewhat bigger. It too was floorless and made of heavy canvas. I can remember somebody bumped into the center pole and knocked it over in the middle of the night and we spent the rest of the night in a partially collapsed tent.
As time went by the troop got new smaller two-man tents that were much lighter. Eventually the old tents were all replaced, and I didnt miss them a bit. The new tents wouldnt leak like the old ones did if you touched the inside while it was raining. The only downside was you couldnt stand up in them to change clothes.

I recently replaced the battery in my #SamsungWatch. It turned out to be quite a challenge for failing eyesight and fumble fingers.
The battery was glued to the circuit board so it was a bit more challenging than this video portrays, but the watch worked again when I got it all put back together again. YouTube
