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.

I also hunt birds. Grouse, ducks, geese, doves, and pheasants. I have a 6 month old pointer that will be ready to hunt this year.

I got two does last season was plenty for me. Me and my buddy have been wanting to do an elk hunt for years.

Nice man. This will be my third year going for elk. No meat yet. I’ve shot deer with my bow. And rifle deer is easy mode.

Y'all get them mule deer out there

Colorado mostly has mule deer. Some white tails that stick to river bottoms.

Do they taste/butcher any different?

They looked small when I saw them out there or at least compared to white tail.

Mule deer are pretty much the same size as the white tails here. I also think they taste just as good as white tails, which I had grown up hunting.

This thing is so sick my dudes...

Just got it the other day, tried it out...good napper.

I love Eno hammocks great product

I have an Eno double nest. Very cozy.

Did some early morning dove hunting.

@Der Seeteufel - SD gonna eat them?

Yeah of course. We're just finishing up cleaning them.

Don't get much meat off them, but it's good eating.

Man, I love dove. Smoke it or cook it up like squirrel or coon, ummm so good.

Beautiful

Nice
