Bad ass. Heavy enough to work wood?

2017-11-11 00:09:56 UTC  

Two blankets

@Deleted User yes! that's why I got this one, thick spine, full tang, should perfect for wood splitting and general buschcrafting duties!

2017-11-11 00:15:06 UTC  

looks like a good setup, let us know how it turns out!

2017-11-11 00:15:33 UTC  

Nice. I was wanting after a heavier blade when I was trying to cut out notches for that fireboard last week.

2017-11-11 00:16:17 UTC  

Tonight, wearing alpaca socks, wool socks over them, jeans, undershirt, flannel, Irish sweater, and a beanie. Not wearing thermals

2017-11-11 12:41:22 UTC  

@Deleted User are you a popsicle?😆 It's 29 here in downtown Louisville. I know it was freezing for you last night.

2017-11-11 13:05:40 UTC  

@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.

2017-11-11 13:07:08 UTC  

You're a madman. That's cool that you were able to handle that temp. My blankets are in the mail.

2017-11-11 13:31:09 UTC  

I think you’ll love em. Obviously an isomat is key

2017-11-11 13:33:18 UTC  

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.

2017-11-11 13:33:47 UTC  

This will be my first cold weather camping trip

2017-11-11 13:47:49 UTC  

What’s the temp lol in December in your neck of the woods?

2017-11-11 13:47:53 UTC  

Like*

2017-11-11 14:04:51 UTC  

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.

2017-11-11 14:08:26 UTC  

Same here, frankly, but it gets a little colder

2017-11-11 14:08:53 UTC  

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

2017-12-20 04:01:09 UTC  

@Mark Vandal Herzog! I met him once. Guy is very big brained I hope he is secretly red pilled

2017-12-20 04:01:50 UTC  

I don't know he is german

2017-12-20 04:01:53 UTC  

Plus he’s a madman. Just the fact he got Fitzcaraldo made is insane

2017-12-20 04:02:05 UTC  

How did you meet him

2017-12-20 04:02:17 UTC  

Yeah he grew up in the aftermath of ww2

2017-12-20 04:02:27 UTC  

At a film festival

2017-12-20 04:02:51 UTC  

Little Deiter needs to fly is a great doc

2017-12-20 04:03:30 UTC  

Deiter was a POW and lived in the bush after escaping camp

2017-12-20 04:25:02 UTC  

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.

2018-04-25 11:09:58 UTC  

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola what weather are you expecting?

2018-04-25 11:54:55 UTC  

@Deleted User 60-70 day, ~40 at night

2018-04-25 12:10:56 UTC  

Presuming no rain, you’re good with pretty light gear - tent, isomat, bag (I like army blankets), set of thermals...standard stuff

2018-04-25 12:21:29 UTC  

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

2018-04-25 12:21:34 UTC  

can't wait

2018-04-25 12:36:35 UTC  

Water purification kit, fire starting kit, food procurement tools, etc. nothing too crazy.

2018-04-25 16:46:39 UTC  

Also, speaking from experience, if you're expecting rain, don't forget to keep all the firewood you've collected high and dry...

2018-08-12 10:51:30 UTC  

My light weight camping setup.
