Tent shell on top
@Deleted User yes! that's why I got this one, thick spine, full tang, should perfect for wood splitting and general buschcrafting duties!
looks like a good setup, let us know how it turns out!
Nice. I was wanting after a heavier blade when I was trying to cut out notches for that fireboard last week.
Tonight, wearing alpaca socks, wool socks over them, jeans, undershirt, flannel, Irish sweater, and a beanie. Not wearing thermals
@Deleted User are you a popsicle?😆 It's 29 here in downtown Louisville. I know it was freezing for you last night.
@RevStench 18 degrees! Two wool blankets with tent laid over top worked great. Only my right hip was cold for some reason, but I wasn't even wearing thermals underneath.
You're a madman. That's cool that you were able to handle that temp. My blankets are in the mail.
I think you’ll love em. Obviously an isomat is key
I have a mat that works pretty well. We're going camping the first weekend of December. So I'm trying to get cold weather gear.
This will be my first cold weather camping trip
What’s the temp lol in December in your neck of the woods?
Like*
Well usually it's not that bad, but it's like 30 this morning, but next week it'll be in the low 60s. The weather is crazy here because were in a valley near the Ohio river. In December we've had freezing snowy ones and we've had them where it's like fall temperatures.
Same here, frankly, but it gets a little colder
We’ve had summer temps in the upper 90s and even crossed a hundred a couple of times.
I have very good doc. Werner Herzog is a great film maker
@Mark Vandal Herzog! I met him once. Guy is very big brained I hope he is secretly red pilled
I don't know he is german
Plus he’s a madman. Just the fact he got Fitzcaraldo made is insane
Yeah he grew up in the aftermath of ww2
At a film festival
Little Deiter needs to fly is a great doc
Deiter was a POW and lived in the bush after escaping camp
Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a good Herzog doc
Going camping with some friends this weekend. Any considerations I should make that I might forget? We're going over who's bringing what right now. It'll just be an overnight campout at a campsite.
@Gaius Mucius Scaevola what weather are you expecting?
@Deleted User 60-70 day, ~40 at night
Presuming no rain, you’re good with pretty light gear - tent, isomat, bag (I like army blankets), set of thermals...standard stuff
yeah since it's just an overnight trip we're not gonna need too much, but I haven't been camping in a long time so I wanted to just make sure no one would think of any basics that I would forget
can't wait
Water purification kit, fire starting kit, food procurement tools, etc. nothing too crazy.
Also, speaking from experience, if you're expecting rain, don't forget to keep all the firewood you've collected high and dry...
My light weight camping setup.
Good ole cowboy camping
Double isomat ftw
Anyone hunt? I’ve got two cow elk tags this year, one for archery and the other rifle.
