/k/amping Arrangements

who the fuck is out camping in this heat?

>>30782593
South Florida here, I can only go camping during nov-feb. I sleep in a tent. Regular ccw j frame plus 12 ga pump filled with buck in case of gators/skunk apes.

I camp in a place where it is in the 30s at night until late june, so I usually just use 1 side of a pup ten as a lean-to and make a fire nice and close. Then I bring a tarp to sleep on with a single wool blanket.

For guns, I like to bring my AK, but only if it is a 1 night trip, otherwise it is way too bulky. Most of the time, I just bring my P64.

Here's a pic from a one-night excursion in late fall. Everything I brought with me was in that bag.

It was cold.

Hammock and tarp combo with mossy 500

I don't fuck with any ground level sleeping after I had a snake crawl into my sleeping bag as a kid.

As for camping tips; don't buy surplus trioxane fuel tabs. They burn for only half the time new ones do. Still good fire starters though. Also you aren't camping if you don't bring pic related.

>>30782593
Those of us in the south fear mosquitoes more than the hear and unholy humidity. Camp with a mosquito net and a hammock.

Currently planning a trip to Big Bend. Anyone have advice?

>>30782575
I kill a hog, gut it, and sleep curled up in it.

>>30782575
Im in Phx AZ, aint no one camping here for at least 3 or 4 more months. Too hot as fuck to go outside.

Sorry. Meant Big Bend Texas. Planning this trip a year in advance so I have time to acquire good gear.

when i camp in the mojave i set up my tents like this. if i'm just going camping somewhere and want to be comfy i sleep in the covered bed of my truck. If i'm going backpacking i use a small 1 person backpacking tent or a jungle hammock.

This. Eno Double Nest, Eno Bug Net, Etowah Gear tarp (great guy. check out his stuff. doesn't offer much though) And a Grand Trunks Hammock sleeping bag. Underquilts are a waste pack space and money.

>>30783246
You look like an illegal who died of thirst in the desert.

Haven't been camping in a little while, but I did just get a nice hammock. Lightweight (1.5 lbs, maybe less) and it stuffs into a small pouch. Should be good for summer/innadesert, provided I have a couple of trees near each other.

I learned this from /out/ I tried it out just for fun and it was cool but haven't actually used it camping. Just a flecktarn tarp (New England) hung between some trees and a Lithohammock below it. The hammock holds 400 pounds so if you need to you can hang your pack and rifle under it too to protect them from rain. And it's wicked comfortable.

That's my brother btw

Man, Northern Arizona can get pretty creepy at night, especially in the Sitgreaves area; there's just an unnatural stillness that you get out there some nights, and often times you can find bizarre old items, abandoned structures, and even weird sounds in the wilderness. My tip: don't watch Fire In The Sky before heading out for a few days.

>>30783246
Looks like one hell of a night

>>30783195
water, lightweight pants, good boots, some sort of bug netting is essential, plan on ground sleeping trees are few and far between.

>>30783487
That's about what I figured. Plus I'll be taking a lot of water.

>>30783416
I always get a little on edge at night if im alone. That said its not becasue of ayylmaos. Its more the Skinwalker/boogieman thing. Also coyotes, forests are dark as fuck in northern Wisconsin and you cant tell where shit is.

Usually just use a tarp if windy. If it's nice, I just use a pad and sleep on the ground. Too lazy to set up all kinds of stuff if I'm going to be taking it down the next day to move to another spot/go home.

>>30782575
In a surp 3 bag sleep system on a pt mat under a tarp up against a tree, might dig myself in a little bit just depends on the spot I'm in. I keep a few small LED lanterns lit around my spot and glow sticks to the shit hole. Always sleep with my AR.

I had a navajo friend give me advice about desert spooks awhile back. Take a couple sweet grass and white sage herb bundles with you and you'll be fine. If things get spoopy burn one of them and it'll drive off whatever if creeping around like a cross to the devil.

On a tangent, I always end up with some ridiculous camping stories on the account of my friend who's kind of 'countrified' after living in the boonies for most of his adult life. Some of his finer moments:

>Drinking some disgusting-ass water from a low creek when a spring source was only 100 yards out and visible, and filtering said water with a used hankie to 'get rid of any buggers' that were in it
>Melting his mechanix gloves off his hands while holding them up to the fire to get warm
>Often draws his Charter Arms .44 and dives straight into the ground to crawl every time we see ANY movement in the forest
>Shovels down cold MRE lentils stew while making slurping sounds
>Carries a shit ton of tactical pouches with nothing in them except more pouches


I love the guy like a brother, but goddamn he sure does some goofy shit sometimes

Is this a loosely veiled Boy Scouts thread?

Let's share stories...


I took a shit RIGHT HERE

didn't have a bomber at the time, though.
Was great being one of the last trecks of the season.... So much extra food, good lord

I got a bag of chocolate donuts all to myself. Plus more squeeze cheese than any mortal man should ever have

I did my treck last August

They ran out of interesting service projects, so we had to carry wood from the woods to a big pile.... For 3 hours

>>30784235
Nice, we just had your standard "build a trail" for our project, though we missed half the thing because one of our kids got AMS and had to be medevac'd.

Tent+AK for bad weather

Hammock and sleepin bag all others. also AK.

also tin can w/ rolled up cardbaord drenched with paraffin wax for fire starting/quick stove

We actually had the same trek # as the troop who had the kid die in the flood... So we had to change it less than a week before we left for NM.

>>30784284
what hammock and ties are you using? I have a grand trunk double that i like enough for backyard use but i don't think the ties it comes with are robust enough for trail

I got a nice deal at REI on the ENO hammock so I went ahead and just got the same brand ties as well.

>>30782793
What pup tent did you use and about how much do they run?

>>30784167
Found loads of dried pineapple in a swap box and stuffed my pockets with it for the second half of my trek, I was living large.

Also took the most majestic shits of my life while I was out there.

>>30784323
Oh shit, I remember hearing about that. I had hiked up in the valley where he died a few years before on a different trek. It's a literal trench in the ground, the sides of it go up maybe 15-20 some feet. So it's easy to imagine that it's a goddamn death trap. So which trek did you switch to? This last trip we had #17

>>30783406
>And it's wicked comfortable.

Masshole detected. We're supposed to believe you have a rifle?

>>30784485
I am a mass home but I sure do have a rifle, a few in fact because I bought my shit before the attorney general cucked us. I'll be moving to New Hampshire anyhow. Fuck this liberal shithole.

All Eno shit, except the sleeping bag. Sleeping bag is just some mummy bag I throw in there. Not sure what I'll do when it gets colder.

Only thing I dislike about it is that I feel very vulnerable. It's much harder to get out of a hammock+bugnet+tarp quickly than a tent. Also, the setup and takedown time is longer compared to a tent.

Remember to make sure it's visible unless you've got a concealed permit, or live in a great state.

My dad almost got fucked hard by DNR a few years back while we were hunting in Michigan.

>>30787738

5.11 made something similar for urban carry.

Don't get it in black, biking with that in the summer sucks.

I went to big bend ranch in march. Be sure to make sure you have plenty of water and GAS, youre really in the middleof nowhere out there. Also good thorn proof pants, everything out there wants to stab you. Watch for cougars, we found two dens and one had a fresh piss puddle. Youll know if you find one because theyre rank as hell.

I only really use a tent if I don't have time to really build a shelter or anything like that. One time my friend and I forgot to bring sleeping bags and we slept on the ground in blankets and I fell asleep on top of a steel lantern

>Hammock and tarp

My man of negro persuasion.

The tarp I purchased is just leaning towards the fuckall huge end of things. Is there a recommended size for camping and BOB purposes.

>>30784377
What state?

Florida. Hammock, tarp, cheap folding knife, canteen, lighter, flask of bourbon, paracord, water filter, ziploc bag of baby wipes and a Beretta 92FS.
I don't bring food. Usually try to use edible plants as much as I can. Smilax shoots, Opuntia prickly pear, blackberries, grass seeds, cattail, whatever I can find, and I try to add a couple with each trip. Figure it might be useful someday; I'm surprised how much there is to eat just wandering around the woods.

>>30791590
Yes

>>30791220
Eh, really no need for the CCW when its legal without it unless you travel a lot, and I guess it helps since so many people want CCW for backpage transactions (which are all fucking ass here anyway)

I think my dad went to Diamondback a few years ago before constitutional carry came into effect for his CCW.

>>30782575

It depends greatly on where I am. Usually a tent though. I am also the king of getting cheap tent upgrades. Spent 70 bucks on a shitty 4 person tent from walmart. Spent 20 on a 4 person coleman I could kinda stand up in.

Spent 35 on a 7 person tent I can stand up in and have an orgy in.

I have a hammock for when I don't feel like lugging around a tent.
