Ultimate Camping Thread

I really shouldn't talk I'm just getting into leading myself when I have the money to stay putting together a rack I'm going to try and have a good mix of stuff. I really like tricams, passive or active when you need it and their super easy to place

 

I undestand how it would be a great past time. I just have to many great past times. I am still trying to learn to tie a half way decent fly .

 

I have probably made this joke a few times...because it's true and hilarious. But my buddies friend had said fishing up here is BS. You can catch a fish so long as the fly floats and has a decent hook on it. So he made a fly with his pubes and is waiting until he spots a real lunker to test it out

 

We need some pics of this homemade stuff. I don't backpack anymore, too fat and lazy

 

Canyoneering trip tomorrow! Goin up north for 2 days and a couple of sweet canyons. One we need wetsuits and there are a few (short) but still kinda fun rappels

 

Are you on backpackinglight or some other backpacking forums? I swear I've seen that picture before

I tried quoting your post but my phone and this forum don't get along all the time

 

Probably I never joined bpl but I've looked at stuff on there a lot. Yeah that might be more likely haha its a cool picture

 

But for those that like them they're awesome! I wont even use a tarp unless the weather looks like it could be nasty

 

I used to sleep without a tent when I was a kid with my dad, I don't mind the animals, I don't like the bugs

 

Let's just say I'm a baby about bugs

That is my favorite part about winter camping' hardly any bugs. Plus I bring my dogs, they wouldn't do well without a tent, they'd be up all night barking at all the animals.

 

Just got back from my canyoneering trip, it was fantastic! I slept like a baby in my hammock under the stars last night. Both of the canyons we dod were "technical" with several rappels and pools. I skipped thesswimming entirely on the first canyon by doing some sketchy down climbs. On the second canyon I got my wetsuit on and rapped right into the water and swam the pools

 

Some pics from camping this weekend

 

Any recommendations for a two person air mattress/sleeping pad? Vehicle camping so it doesn't need to be light or compact. Just something durable enough for tent use.

 

2 person ha
You and boyd sharing a bag now too
And idk if aero bed makes a 2 person
But aero bed ftmfw

 

It for you sugar.
Looks like aerobed does have a couple outdoor models, have to check out reviews for them.

 

well i have been using the same areo bed for many many many years..about 20 now
and i am a big person...never had an issue i have swapped out my old areo bed and changed her for a newer one about 8 years ago "it has comfort supports and no pillow"
and i love it......
too bad your tent wont handle 2 people

I've used a futon mattress before, it was better than just a sleeping bag alone.
