Ultimate Camping Thread

From what I've been reading off the Net it seems like a decent hike to get to the summit. Are you allowed to camp on the summit or are there designated sites?

 

I know Keen makes great sandals, I know nothing about there boots though. Sorry .

 

I think there were no camping signs on the summit but if you go down about 40-50 yards you can camp.

 

They make awesome sandles and they are like flippers when you swim. I did trade my pair in for a set of sperry flops because the keens kept marking the deck of the boat.

 

Im researching jobs that allow you to go outdoors and hike and camp....standby

 

Hippie

 

im trying to joint the army first.....but just in case that wont fall through for some reason there has been a lot of comlications with me joining

 

from what i read about it it says no camping day use only
i may be wrong

 

i dont remember....is old rag on white blaze or a blue blaze? as long as there are no "no camping" signs you can set up camp. no one really goes around checking.

 

can always say u hurt your ankle or felt light headed.....

 

will have to remeber that

 

thought about applying at rei.....i would never have a pay check though lol. I got a new to me cast iron skillet today! in the process of cleaning and re seasoning now

 

That's about what I'll be doing I'm majoring in Parks and Recreation Management. I'd really like to find a job guiding groups on rafting, kayaking, or backpacking expeditions.

Another way to look at it is to be a "career hiker" where you work just enough to fund your next adventure. Requires a complete lifestyle change though.

Oh yeah, my school's campus rec department is selling kayaks and camping gear! Too bad I'm broke

 

If the army dont work out for me im gonna try to swing a gig with the counties game and forest department. and i feel ya on being broke! i found a way to drop another 1-2 pounds off my pack but have no money to do it

 

Walk around barefoot, for every pound on your feet equals 5 on your back

 

lol im good. i accually know a guy who does that cody mundain stuff and gos every where bare foot. thats crazy stuff right there.

 

That guy is fucking awesome! I love his minimalist vids on youtube, his self sustainable house is badass too!

His partner Dave resides in Eastern Ohio which I think is pretty cool, since I grew up pretty close to there. He has his own Survival school out there.

Just ordered a new sleeping pad for my Gf.

Its very similar to by Big Agnes Air Core but has a integrated pump inside the mattress. Interested to see this feature as my BA pad can be a pain to blow up after a nice long hike. I wanted to get either the same pad I had or one with the same dimensions so the pads would fit nicely together. I'll give a review once I get it.

Next on the list. Monarch Butterfly chair, and Sven saw! Also, need to replace my camelbak bladder

 

sven saw is worht every freakin penny best saw ever
i went with the 15".....

 

Cody is a badass hands down. I have seen a few people trying to do the barefoot thing.

I absolutely love my Monarch chair and the Sven saw is badass as well. I got the 15". Works great. The new camelback bladders are pretty nice. They have built in drying hooks and stuff.

I will be watching for your review on the BA pad. Sounds nice!
