Nemo's Updated Dagger Osmo Tent Has Nicer Fabric and Better Design Details
If you look at the photos, you'll notice that the rainfly arcs up at each end of the tent. This saves a bit on weight and improves ventilation, but it was one area that worried me when I reviewed the 3-person version years ago. Thankfully this has never been an issue, the bathtub floor (which is what is exposed below the fly) has proved plenty waterproof in my use. Speaking of bathtub floors, there is a clip-in vestibule floor that's also a bathtub shape. Nemo calls this the Landing Zone. It's a little extra triangle of fabric that covers about half the vestibule and protects any gear you've stored there from back-splash and any water that might come under the fly. There are stays in the rainfly to help it maintain its bathtub shape. The Landing Zone weighs next to nothing (1.7 ounces) and makes the vestibule much more usable, keeping your gear dry even if the ground gets wet. It's a nice feature I've come to appreciate on rainy days. Photograph: Scott Gilbertson What I really like about Nemo's tents over other options, like the Copper Spur tents, is the attention to detail. The Landing Zone, the ceiling headlamp pocket (which turn your headlight into a lantern, complete with reddish light), the quick clip fly attachment, the fact that the near vertical sidewalls mean the doors can use a straight zipper (which you can open with one hand), the nice hooks that allow you to roll the vestibule and inner doors out of the way … all adds up to a living experience that trumps most other tents I've tested. There are a couple of trade-offs here. The big one is weight. This is not the tent for ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, or anyone looking for a very low-weight, minimalist structure. If that's you, look to tarps and non-freestanding tents like the Lunar Solo. Again, though, split between two people, I think a 4-pound tent like the Dagger is perfectly acceptable. The other trade-off: The Nemo is toward the high end of the price spectrum. In my experience, the combination of high quality materials, durability, and attention to detail make the Dagger Osmo 2P worth the investment.

'I would do anything to win another one' - Mark Collins sets sights on winning three-in-a-row with Castlehaven
Chasing three-in-a-row. Mark Collins remembers well the last time Castlehaven went after that particular prize. The memories are not fond. The Haven began the 2014 Cork football championship the same as they do the current edition throwing in this weekend - the back-to-back winners wearing a sizable target on their back. They should have taken care of the neighbours first day out 11 years ago. They enjoyed a six-point advantage over Carbery Rangers at one juncture. Brian Hurley's 10 second-half minutes on the sideline because of injury was pounced upon by their opponents. In the Round 4 replay a fortnight later, the men from Rosscarbery outgunned them 1-9 to 0-2 in the second half for a nine-point win. A first county championship defeat in two years, 10 months, and 29 days. Come throw-in this evening at Ovens, Castlehaven's latest unbeaten stretch on the local scene will sit at 11 games and two years, nine months, and 24 days. Mark Collins was 24 then, is 35 now. His attitude for this latest three-in-a-row push isn't a second cousin of what it was when last they went after a feat that has been managed by only one club - Nemo, of course - over the past 80 years. 'I'm at a totally different stage of my career now. Back then, everything seemed like a bonus, whereas now you're trying to get every little last bit out of it,' Collins said this week. Read More Familiar look to Cork football as county championship throws in 'That time, we probably would have been absolutely delighted to have won two-in-a-row, whereas now I would do anything to win another one. 'We were disappointed with that go at three-in-a-row in 2014, so we'd be hoping to, starting on Saturday against Mallow, which won't be an easy start, to start on a better foot.' Their Division 1 League campaign wasn't hectic. Lest we forget Rory Maguire and Conor Cahalane lining out the day after featuring in Cork's Sam Maguire group defeat to Meath to help secure a relegation-avoiding victory over fellow strugglers Carrigaline. Uninspiring League form is nothing new, ditto the challenge of the Cahalane brothers rejoining the local fold days ahead of their championship opener. They've dealt with all that before. They've dealt too with the expectation. 'We'd never been there before,' said Collins of their 2024 status as the ones to knock. 'All those big matches against the Barrs and Nemo in recent years, we went in as underdogs whereas last year, probably every match we played, we went in as favourites and it was a different thing for the group. We dealt with it well, which was a positive. 'We've had a lot of younger lads break into our team, no fear, plenty of confidence. Winning that county in '23 gave them confidence that they were good enough to be at that level and they progressed even more for us in '24 and became big players and leaders for us.' Is there enough there for them to go where no Castlehaven side has gone previously? Let's find out.

Familiar look to Cork football as county championship throws in
Throw-in time for the Cork football championship. The conversation remains unchanged from the 2024 edition. Forgive the repetition, but repetition is unavoidable. Castlehaven again begin as champions. Nemo and the Barrs again are prioritised by unseating the men from the west. Everyone else, bar one or two at the bottom of the ladder, are again prioritised with breaking the latter-end stranglehold of the big three. In essence, as you were, this time 12 months ago. But of course, it isn't as you were given the game is largely unrecognisable from last summer. The new rules could lend to an interruption of the big three. They could also serve to push the Haven, the Barrs, and Nemo further clear from a chasing pack that hasn't managed to get in amongst them since Clonakilty contested and came up short of the Barrs by the minimum in the 2021 county final. Clon again appeared best placed to push through and break through. They brought the Barrs to extra-time in the recent Division 1 League final, coming up short on this occasion by two. The fixture was the latest piece of evidence of how the 2025 Cork football championship could be sung to Steven Sherlock's tune. On the opening weekend of the League, Sherlock, who opted out of the Cork set-up this year, kicked 0-15, including four two-pointers. On the final weekend of the League, and in steering St Finbarr's to early-season silverware, he kicked 0-18, including three orange flags. Mark Collins of three-in-a-row chasing Castlehaven said the champions still have to calibrate their orange flag radar. According to the former Cork footballer, their two-point conversion rate was as low as 20% during the League. The return of Cork captain Brian Hurley should help improve that particular figure, the 33-year-old having registered five of them across the Munster and All-Ireland championship. 'Our percentage was shocking, and it's something we're looking at. I think it's a lot about right option-taking. When the rules came in first, there was kind of a freshness to it and everyone was maybe looking to have a go or have a pot. Trying to nail that as the year goes on, is something we'll look at,' said Collins. The top-tier championship throws-in with a familiar pairing. Nemo versus Ballincollig (Ballygarvan, 7.30pm). They met on the opening weekend last year, Nemo winning 0-11 to 0-6. They were even more comfortable winners on the opening weekend the year previous, Nemo taking that fixture 2-11 to 0-6. Throw in the one-sided 2022 semi-final and this is the fourth consecutive year they are crossing paths. Ballincollig have yet to walk in front of the men from Trabeg during that time. Where Ballincollig finished mid-table in Division 2, Nemo were a point off making the Division 1 League decider. And so the expectation is that Nemo will again be a step or two ahead.

NAUTILUS Makes a Pit Stop in Sneak Peek of Episode 4, 'Slippery When Wet'
The hallmark of submarine stories is their confined settings with finite resources. Anytime there's a chance for our heroes to get outside and find fresh food, there's the danger of being so distracted that they'll miss the signs of enemies. And when your submarine is a stolen prototype of technology, as it is in Nautilus , there are always enemies about. In the sneak peek clip below of Season 1 Episode 4, 'Slippery When Wet,' the crew makes landfall and discovers an island full of ripe fruit trees, potentially fresh water, and probably something more sinister. RELATED: TV Review: Nautilus Episode 3, 'What Lies Beneath' But worriers are gonna worry. In the case of Turan (Arlo Green), his concern that he is the most likely crew member to get eaten by a bear drives him to believe he should be armed. Nemo (Shazad Latif) doesn't agree. Probably on either point, but most definitely on the matter of the gun. Image Credit: Courtesy of AMC/AMC+ Nautilus, 'Slippery When Wet' As captain, Nemo's orders aren't getting the traction he would like. After telling the others to gather food while he looks for a fresh water source, several of them choose to follow him instead. First, it's Turan with his inane demands for the revolver. Then Humility (Georgia Flood) and Blaster (Kayden Price) insist on coming with him. Humility doesn't want to miss out on an opportunity to discover a new species of anything. What a trained engineer cares about new species is a mystery to me. Blaster tags along because that's what he does, apparently. Image Credit: Courtesy of AMC/AMC+ The episode's synopsis from AMC/AMC+ says, ' The starving crew venture onto a seemingly deserted island in search of food, but Blaster is kidnapped by the survivors of a Company shipwreck. Nemo and Humility attempt a daring rescue mission but end up disturbing a giant electric eel. ' So, the clip introduces the island and the food. One can assume Blaster gets kidnapped because he's not with the rest of the crew, gathering food like Nemo directed. RELATED: TV Review: Nautilus Series Premiere Image Credit: Courtesy of AMC/AMC+ How Archie the dog's allergies to the island's flora play into the plot remains to be seen. The idea of travelling via submarine with a dog on board boggles the mind. New episodes of Nautilus air on AMC and AMC+ at 9 pm ET/PT on Sundays. 'Slippery When Wet' drops on July 13.
