I’m going camping today and haven’t done a thing to get ready
Just started watching Wolf Hall
I want to go camping again soon.
I'd love another camping trip
I used to go once a month year round, but haven’t been in awhile
@Papa Pizzagate There's a company that recruits at my school which is a contractor that programs government systems. Some students were talking about how it would be cool to work for them because government systems annoy them so much and they could make them less annoying.
>could make them less annoying
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
Young naive minds
I bet you they last a week
@Drover Tom What kind of camping do you do?
@Perihelion - CA Ya I agree with you. I think they're missing the point that the people who programmed them at one point *were* young motivated programmers just like them.
@Papa Pizzagate This one is just an easy trip out to a lake with friends. But normally backpacking trips into remote areas. Some extended mountaineering trips too when I have time and people to do it with
That's epic. I need to pick up a bit more gear to do backpacking again, but I really enjoyed it when I was a scout.
@Drover Tom the southern CA lads do this. @DeusVolk usually organizes them.
Good IE photo ops have resulted with IE flags.
Oooh I’ll definitely have to get into their loop on that. I’m pretty handy with a camera
@Papa Pizzagate Army surplus is a good way to get gear and clothes on the cheap, that’s where half of my stuff is from
@Drover Tom We've had one escapade into the Sierras so far and plan on doing so again when the right 3 day weekend comes along.
Don't disagree, I have a great milsurp place down the block from me.
But sometimes with milsurp stuff, weight isn't much of a consideration - depending on age - which is critical for backpacking
I think I messed up my back carrying heavy backpacks tbh
@Papa Pizzagate True. I’ve got essentially two full outfits and two different backpacks depending on how far I’m going/weight conscious I am
good stuff can be had somewhat cheaply if you do your research very carefully.
"Best budget backpacking xxx" brings up lots of listicles with valuable info.
I did get a really great sleeping bag at the milsurp place though, light, 30degree bag and only like $25 irrc. @Louis Loire - NY was with me, and pretty jealous of that find.
Nothing like being out on a mountain with your boys. It ain't a real outing below 10k feet!
I need a good pack.
10k? <:nervous:359009898115104770>
4k in WV is nuts as is.
I really want to get an Arc’teryx pack, but the price is unreal
Yeah they’re crazy expensive
tfw not onamountain with my socal boys <:sad:366743316475281408>
