Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

Ogre is on the right

 

Karate Monkey is a lot easier to find on Craigslist for cheap haha

Nice set up! I can't do hammocks, but the next tarptent I get will be pretty easily packable.

 

Cute

 

I've done some...

 

Nice! Did you make that framebag or buy it?

 

Custom made by Porcelain Rocket.

 

Anyone have experience with thermolite sleeping bag liners? Did some camping last weekend in really cold conditions. We were car camping so brought a long extra blankets for the tent, but I am not a fan of the space the blankets took up. So was wondering how well the thermolite Reactor Extreme mummy bag liner is.

 

Looking at possibly doing a quick trip this weekend if I can think of a place to go. Anyone know of a good place within 4-5hrs of Los Angeles that's about 10mi round trip hike?

 

Glad you liked it. My favorite JMT film is called "Mile, Mile and 1/2" and it's on Netflix. Much better produced, and they're a bit more trail responsible (still some things to learn).

 

I'll check that one out as well. Thanks!

 

Mile, mile and a half was pretty good. Those guys weren't experienced hikers, but they did a great job catching the scenery and at making me want to go.

 

by little containers, do you mean the actual stove? or the container you carry your fuel in?
if it's the stove, i've used the same one for almost 7 years.
if it's the fuel container, i just use a little kid's bug juice bottle for short trips and a 12 oz coke bottle for week+ trips. same bottles for about 3 years, I guess.

 

eh. they're alright. they don't take you down as far as they claim, but they are more than a bag alone. personally, i don't find it worth the weight for backpacking when i can just use my woolens.

 

yea the little stove/container. I know they come in different sizes but Ive never had any experience with them or how quickly the fuel burns. that doesn't seem like much fuel though (the bug juice bottle)

 

What are woolens?

 

Sleeping bag liners are nonsense, don't waste your money.

 

my fleece one does a pretty good job.

 

Just looking into it cause not sure how often I would be doing winter camping so don't want to spend $200-300 for a winter bag.
