Ultimate Camping Thread

Usually those, or the old Venom energy drinks. Haven't seen any in a while.

Lots of tutorials out there, simple enough to make really. I've made several different types. Can't say Alc stoves suit my style camping though. I carry a big ass Mors pot when I camp to boil water or cook in. Good ol' campfires work for me, otherwise it's a traditional camp stove. Alc stoves serve ultralight guys real well, but don't do it for me. Love the idea though.

This is one made from a cat food can. Called the Fancee Feest


This is the is a custom monster version of the mini tattoo- it uses a remote alcohol bottle. Longer run time I guess.

Ive met tons of people whose idea of camping is just that. Lets go to a state camp ground, bring everything but the kitchen sink, and call it camping!

Nothing against that as i do love me some car camping and being able to bring everything i could want....but screw state parks. To many little kids, to many people, to many rules, to much going on. I go camping to get away from people. I love when its just my group and I alone with a lake ot ourselves. Nothing beats that even if it takes 15 miles of hiking to get there!

 

About 7-8 yrs ago my wife and I were at a state park. We went to get some night shots of the water fall with the full moon. Would've been some really good pics. Ranger found us walking down the road and sent us back "We like our campers to be in their sights after 10:00"
Really, what are we prisoners? Just another reason not to go to state parks!
Run by the gestapo!

 

I put about 2 cups of denatured alcohol in my stove. It worked but I think I might buy the whitebox. IMO it's $23 for a stove. I'll have a few cat can stoves for friends to use. I'll do some experimenting with the ever so cheap and reliable cat can stove.

 

bought a new mummy bag. It is the Teton Sports Trailhead +20degree bag. Looks really nice so far and is comfy. I have a trip coming up in Oct. I will let you all know how that and my new Kelty bag work!

 

Im trying to find a tent that i can connect to my camper.
Searched the web and no luck.
Anyone have any good ideas on how to rig one up?

 

Pics of the camper? I'm not quite sure what you're thinking of

 

Id like to have a tent hooked up to the back .

 

Just google SUV tents. I just did and it came up with several types. I've looked at getting one for my son's truck.

 

Awe thanks! Never thought about that lol.

 

Tried the new hammocks out last week,




then woke up to this guy stomping around the camp site.

 

Ummm, did you harvest it? I would have had backstops for a few days! Pl;us some killer steaks and jerky.

 

What hammock is that?

 

Nope, just watched him from my sleeping bag. I did eat this guy for lunch though

The one on the left is an Eno with a pro fly rain tarp over it and the one hanging off my bumper is a Grand Trunk.

Don't knock it until you've tried a moose burger, delicious

 

They take up too much room in the truck. I prefer the pup

 

Imagine if his antlers got caught up in your hammock line. That would have been an interesting wake up call.
