Ultimate Camping Thread

Camping this weekend. The RTT belongs to a fellow TWer.

 

Grand Canyon rafting trip May 2014


























This is a few of the pictures i took, I'm going to make a video out of all the clips i took and a time lapse and post them on youtube in a few days. This was the first time I had ever been to the Grand Canyon even though Ive lived in AZ my entire life, not my first rafting trip however. Going with a private group was sweet but if you have a chance to go on a commercial trip or a private one jump on the opportunity!

 

True, is fun to camp on just a mattress. But if I'm going to have to pay for a camping spot, might as well actually camp haha

 

Awesome pics! I'm looking forward to your video

 

wow.....i havnt been on in forever. its awesome to see this thread has kept going all this time. been out the loop for a while due to some military stuff but im glad to be back! camping gear may have to be a second priority while i save for my 2014 tacoma!

 

woot

 

i think im gonna look for a 2004 double cab

 

One of my friends/coworkers proposed to his girlfriend in front of the waterfall back there that day, its an amazing spot!

 

my god i miss AZ....i spent some time there with the army. awesome hikes out there. but you can keep the camel spiders and turantulas. homie dont play that.

 

Fuck bugs, that is all.

 

Nah, ive only ran into a tarantula once and it wanted nothing to do with me. With wasps and stuff just stay away.. when they get into my house I suck them up with a vacuum out of everything down here I hate the mosquitoes gnats and ants the most

 

Usually by the time those things are out crawling and flying, it's too hot to be camping in the desert.

 

Although, these guy's bother me a lot more that Tarantula's. I had a few visitors on my trip last week. This is just the tail end of the swarm.

 

I have a friend with this one and it is great. Somewhat hard to aquire, especially the first version.

 

Cool place up there,
Montezuma Rd. is an awesome road to ride a motorcycle on, I used to ride up there all the time, awesome place. Would stop in Julian first and head that way, sometimes head to Palomar after. Palomar is awesome riding too.

 

GF got me this for my birthday, never heard of such a thing. Comes with a carabiner to hook it on a backpack or whatever. Charge it during the day and charge your phone with it at night.

 

That's awesome!

 

Um bugs!

Oh BTW Alex those are some awesome pictures! Looks like you guys had a great time.

 

For fathers day my wife got me one of the packs for taking your kid hiking. Pretty pumped to take our future daughter hiking when she's big enough
