Wet Weather Tips

Playing outdoors with a chance of rain? Here are some tips suggested by L1 System Owners.

Large Plastic Bags

I usually pack a couple of those large plastic leaf bags that are used to store grass clippings, leaves, etc. They are large enough that I can pop one over the L1 pole, pull it sharply and the top of the stick will force a hole in the bottom of the bag where I can then pull it down to cover the base. Then another bag or two over the top to cover the rest of the pole, etc. I use another one for my small microphone stand that holds the T1.

Granted it doesn't look good but it works. StuartD

Tarp

I bring along a tarp that I can throw over my L1 in short order.

The L1 pole acts like a center tent pole.

It is ugly, but effective for keeping the rain off, and I can tear down underneath it while it is raining. Then take down the L1 last, and get out without to much moisture.

I also have a small shelter tent with no side's that I set up if it looks like rain before the show. Kings Court
