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

How did you meet him

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.

I would love to go on an elk hunt one day

I’ll come kill one with you mate

When and where?

I’ll make him into summer sausage and eat it over years

Still have 4 sticks from my last buck several years back lmao

I think it was 7 years ago actually

Archery is 08/25-09/23. I have a tag along for my rifle hunt. I’m in Colorado Springs.

@Louis Loire - NY come with next year!

I’m not currently set up to process my own animal, outside of steaks I gotta bring it to a butcher.
