Ultimate Camping Thread

yeah that wasn't too fun. I was in about 5" of water luckily but was still enough for the waves to bust over the tent bottom. Definitely won't do that again!

 

wont do what? get shitfaced and go camping, or go camping on the beach lol

 

wont get shit faced and set my tent up close to the water. lol

 

i always set up first so i never had that problem lol. well this weekend will be the forth weekend i have gone camping in a row...i really need to get a new camera!

 

well i was set up before but I didn't know the tide levels... figured I was in the clear so I started drinking. lol.

as for a camera. check out the Olympus tough series.... I have the model before the tough (Stylus 720sw). They are waterproof, shock proof, and freeze proof. I love that camera. little bit of weight but not having to worry about ruining it if you drop it or submerge it in the water makes up for it.

 

this is now on my list of things to have next time i go out. thanks for posting the video.

 

If i could find them damn aluminum beer bottles i could make some stoves and maybe ship them out to some of yall, but i cant seem to find them anywhere

 

Like those Miller aluminum bottles or the bud light ones? I would be willing to get drunk for the better of the group in here and send bottles.

 

ya the aluminum stadium bottles. sounds like a plan to me lol i would need a head count to know how many stoves to make. i might be able to find them around here i guess i just need to look a little harder

 

I would be down for a stove.


Also got my alite monarch chair. AWESOME! But it is a bit of a pita to get back in the bag

 

i hate when stuff does that....yet another reason i dont own any coleman things lol

 

I was thinking Monster BFC bottoms myself. That'll get hot fast!

 

im not shur that would work the same, but ill check it out.

 

I finally figured it out after messing with it for a while it isn't too horrible but is still kind of annoying. Wish the bag was just a little bigger.

 

I'm just saying if I need to drink beers to send the cans out I will. I live right next to a liquor warehouse.

 

you lucky bastard! ill keep you posted thanks!

 

The Bios 2 looks awesome but difficult to make, especially without the right tools.

 

its an amazing little stove. thankfully i have access to all the right tools

 

Can't remember if this has been talked about or not but got to thinking today..... medical kits... I know I am pushing it on my homemade medical kit so I just wanted to see what you all use. Did you make a custom one? I have been eyeballing those ultralight/watertight medical kits in the blue/yellow bags at Bass Pro lately. All I have is a big ziplock bag with an assortment of bandages, creams, and other little things as well as a thing of super glue (has come in to use a few times!)

 

Adventure Medical kits. I carry the Ultralight .9 while camping/hiking and in the Taco and the .3 mountain biking. Very easy to refill and I've used it a bunch (all minor).
