Ultimate Camping Thread

I've done this with good results. Should be noted that refills are illegal on the highway.

 

Please explain. I've got a couple I reuse all the time. I toss them when the valve inside doesn't shut off. Otherwise I've had no issues. Never heard of DOT refilled propane regulations though

 

^^^It's not illegal to refill 1# cans. It is illegal to transport them after they have been refilled.
I've filed this one under unenforceable laws

 

What do you guys like for sleeping bag liners?I can't locate mine and am going to need one for this weekend. I've got an older "-20F" mummy bag I usually use and lost my liner. Honestly don't even know what brand it was, but it was great on really could nights. Going on a snowshoeing/ backpacking trip this weekend in the White Mountains, so I'm definitely going to need all the warmth I can get without bulk. I was looking at this one since it had good reviews on Amazon/rei and is in stock at my local rei.

Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Sleeping Bag Liner

$94 Sea to Summit Reactor Insulated Sleeping Bag Liner, Regular (83 x 35)

I have a reactor and like it. For me, the thing that made the biggest difference (warmth wise) was getting an Exped Syn Mat.

 

Thanks, I'll probably pick it up. Besides a little added warmth I find I sleep better with a liner vs without. Just sliding around in the bag annoys me for some reason


Mat is probably one of the next things to upgrade. Been using just a standard foam mat for 15+ years along with the same mummy sack for 15+ years

 

Looking to be a little chilly this weekend. Actually Sunday looks nice, hopefully it's not super windy. I don't mind the cold, but the wind can be killer. Need to remember to re loft my bag before I go and dig out the ready of my cold weather supplies

 

Seth where are you going exactly?

 

Snowshoeing/ backpacking in the white mountains. Specifically around lonesome lake/ cannon mountain

 

Ohhh Cannon, yeah it gets really cold around there for some reason

 

The ski area is mostly north facing iirc which causes it to be super windy usually. We'll be staying by lonesome lake to the south and snowshoeing up the south side of the mountain Saturday

 

What kind of snowshoes do you have?

 

Msr revo explore. These but all black

 

They are great for the northeast since we usually have pretty slick/icy conditions

 

Did you get them at Bass Pro?

 

I got mine at rei to replace an older pair of msr evo's. The raised heel televator bar on the explores is awesome for climbing. I didn't know bass pro sold them.

 

Just got back from a week long trip of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona

Here is a few pictures from every stop.

Wow! Love the shots!

 

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing!

 

Great looking trip Alex. I'm a sucker for winter camping so I would have probably set up camp in the first spot and stayed put.
