Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

Just ordered a Slumberjack Roadhouse Tarp today. I don't have a campershell, but it should work fine over my hard tonneau. Saves me lugging around a tailgate tent or saving for an awning!

$125 Slumberjack 58755517 Roadhouse Tarp

I got my 4th Kelty Noah tarp, 12'.
Now I have the 9, 12, 16, & 20.
The 9 was too small over a picnic table.

 

That would work perfect off the back of my prinsu over the bed and just behind as a dry and or shaded area while out shooting! Thanks!

 

No problem! Has great reviews everywhere I read!

 

These also work well. There's enough room in the lip of the lid/cover to run some rubber weatherstripping.

I did not - Amazon said it did not apply to my purchase. We’re you able to use that code on Amazon?

Awesome! Can’t wait to use it!

 

Go to slumberjack's website. You can use it there.

 

my last purchase from slumberjack. Overland 8 tent. On sale for 120.00 bucks. Worth it. and my roadhouse tarp...after 2yrs it still looks great..

 

Ahhh gotcha - I ordered from Amazon. It was $99 on amazon and $170 (before sale) on slumberjack’s website.

They tent looks sweet!

 

in a 40 mph wind...stayed attached no issues

 

Awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for

 

My backpacking trail name

 

Nothing UL but I completed my first aid supplies with a new SAM splint. Hydro flask was there for scale

I just refreshed my first kit with new non expired items and added the quick clot and the GF snagged me some surgical glue from the OR. This kit has been with me for 10 years and been to 6 of the 7 Continents. The ACR PLB is a newer item but with some of the remote areas and it's use internationally I feel like it's a good purchase. I was looking at the In-Reach but I didn't feel like I needed the messaging feature.

 

I'm building a bleeder kit to carry with me now that I'm on blood thinners. If I get any kind of decent sized laceration away from home, I'm in trouble. So far it has:

• Nylon molle rip-away first aid pouch already stocked with some basic first aid for the truck (antiseptics, ointments, small bandages, suture kit, pain meds, etc)

Added:

• 2 Quick-Clot clotting sponges
• 3 rolls of gauze wound dressings
• 2 5-yard self-adhesive elastic tape rolls
• Surgical shears
• Super Glue

I just have it in the truck so if I go away from home, there it is. The velcro panel it rips away from is attached to the molle seat backs I have in the truck. TSA friendly if need be (sometimes I hike in my spare time on biz trips). Not UL but would bail me out of some life-threatening bleeding injuries more than my current backpacking med kit would (ibuprofen, dried wet wipes for gauze, 18" of KT tape around the pill bottle, handkerchief always on me for tourniquet and more wound wrapping).

 

Looks good. A friend of mine with the same condition recently told me about ZipStich. I have always carried butterfly sutures but this looks like a better alternative. I'll be adding this to my kit soon.

That's actually really cool for smaller lacerations. I put that in my wish list and may add that to the kit. Thanks!
