Ultimate Camping Thread

I bring wine with me quite often. Usually if I'm backpacking with the GF. She's not much of a whiskey person, so wine usually has to be the beverage of choice. Beer just doesn't pack enough booze-to-weight ratio.

 

hahaha thats what friends are for right??

as long as its pino.....im not a big red wine guy

haha if i got to backpack it in its prolly gonna end up being rum or whiskey.....but if im truck camping bring on the yuengling!!!

 

I usually pack whiskey in if I want to drink. Just sucks if you get so wasted you can barely function the next day and your back in the woods. Did that once... wont ever do it again

 

lol i hiked one mile back into the woods one time with big ol bottle of captain morgan black cask.....its a 101 proof rum. me and my buds finished it that night and i swear it took us like a hour and a half to hike the mile back to the truck. worst day of my life

 

between 3 of us, we finished a 5th of jim beam and I drank 8 of the 12oz water bottle of jack. Had some Jamaican chicken Mountain House meal before that. Good lord that sucked the next day. We were walking out to the car the next day and the only way I could keep from getting dizzy is to look down, well... I ended up smashing in to this massive tree hanging over the trail... of course it was right at face level. I wasn't too thrilled.

 

lol we call that mile the mile of death. one guy started crying cause he couldnt stop puking bahahahaha

 

hahahahahaha! thats pretty bad. I dont carry much alcohol back when I am camping just because getting that drunk then being sick the whole next day completely ruins the fun.

 

agreed but you gotta figure that out by being young and dumb i guess

 

just back from pismo ..... backed the quad off the truck and didnt remember there being quite that many empties in the back from the weekend haha

 

that happens to me to but its usually cause people around campus think my truck is the community trash truck

 

Have fun! Hopefully no moose show up this time!

I am so paranoid about forgetting something crucial that I start packing a month in advanced and often pack/unpack about 15 times before feeling good about what I have... One trip I did that, ended up forgetting my boots at home. I was about 2 hours from my house too so my dumb ass had to stop at wally world and buy these cheap hunting boots. My feet were MISERABLE. I usually wear my tennis shoes or something in the car on the way and change when I get there.. thats why I forgot the boots. But... Have not forgotten them since!

 

you have no idea.....it usually takes a week for me to pack. I pack, unpack, unpack again, make a checklist, and repack a few more times.

funny story...i once forgot my headlamp....accually i did that 2xs. i have also forgotten my entire food bag.....never did that again.

 

Looks like my whorish ways of buying tons of new gear is gonna slow down... a lot. Im gonna pick up a "project truck" its a 88 jeep comanche single cab short bed. lots of work to be done and i got big plans or it.

 

haha Ive never forgotten the food bag thankfully. You sound like me though packing and unpacking so much

nice!!! Those Commanche are awesome!

 

high sierras

a tarp is all you need, you either sleep on it or under it

 

ya man its a rust bucket but it will be fun! im gettin it for 300 bucks!

i tried the whole tarp and bivy sack thing but i prefer to have a good tent or tarp and hammock.....but i wouldnt worrie if i needed to take a tarp and hit the ground and need be
