Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

Suspension is cheap, heck all I use is 550 cord. There Sub7 is one of the lightest iive seen on the market?

 

Round cordage is fine for hanging on a mechanical fixture (eye bolts, carabiner, roof rack...) but round cordage is horrible to use on trees. It will cut the bark and it it's cut any significant circumference it will kill the tree.

 

Its not heavy. I have an ENO double with their webbing straps and I have taken mine all over the world in my bag. Unless you are a super UL person its not bad and doesn't take up much space.

 

Eno doublenest? Its meant for two people, but i use it for myself. Should be good to up to 400 LB's!

And tarp weight.

 

Dont know if anyones metioned this but sintax77 youtube channel is awsome check it our if your bored. He does a lot about hammocks and in depth gear reviews he also films a lot of his hikes. Just thought id share while yall were talking about hammocks cause the videos are cool.

 

You want a good time on YouTube, shug emery. The guys a hammocker but part time clown (really!) IRL

 

Good stuff now I have something to watch for the next few days thanks.

 

I finally set up my tent......in my kitchen.

 

Now try setting it up in the rain!
(Yes it can be done! )

 

I have a RTT but I'm going to be going camping with a large group this summer and utilizing a ground tent in addition to the RTT.

Do you guys recommend any cots?

 

Pretty much me all week...

 

What cooler?

 

Oh nice!

 

I held the position that I'd try an RTIC once they caught up with production. Now that they have almost, I realize I have a Yeti in each size RTIC offers. Guess there's no need.

 

My kokopelli packraft came in this morning. 12lbs, 2 person or 1 person, and fits into my North Face duffle. The build quality is great.

 

Not sure if anyone is interested or in the market, but just went to my local Sport Chalet to check out their fire sale and saw that they have a shit ton of Igloo Sportsmen coolers. They're only doing 20% as of now (which is still really good). Most people that were their are looking for $20 picks and walking right passed the big ticket items. I'll be watching them and if they go down any more I might be picking one up to upgrade my current cheapo cooler.

 

Let us know your thoughts on the RTIC. Ive been looking at the Yeti mid-size coolers but the RTIC is so appealing because of the price.
