/out/ musician thread What instruments do you bring when going

Drum kit. It's a pain in the ass to carry, but I love to play them in the woods.

You should definately try, as the acoustic is far beyond compare to anything you've ever experienced. It's more profound and warm, and there's a slight primitive vibe which is much enjoyable.

In general I got /out/ with my wife, so she carries the gear and I take the drum kit but I guess you could also stuff the drums with all you need (stove, tarp, sleeping bag, drum sticks, ...) if you want to do it all by yourself.

Ukuleles and ukulele variants. I saw one at an outdoors store locally that was waterproof and shockproof. Fiberglass body and everything. Wanted to play it to see how it sounds, but the box was stapled shut.

I also carry a home-made "diddley bow" as one anon called it.

I have an old 80s Kay hatchet guitar, identical to pic but branded differently(from the late 50s to the late 80s it was very common for this to happen, japanese factories would produce guitars then license them out to companies overseas, and this particular design went by a few names but you can usually find one fairly cheap searching "austin hatchet" or "hatchet guitar")

you can also find a "Smokey" amp for around $20 very easily, then all you need is a 9v battery(which last a while in a smokey) and you have yourself a surprisingly versatile and VERY easily carried electric guitar setup

it may seem odd to take an electric instrument out but the lack of need for a resonating chamber means you can use a full scale instrument while taking up a fraction of the space

these are your options as far as smokey designs go and i would definitely recommend the polycarbonate case on the right, the left looks kinda cool but its a REAL cigarette box and is consequently as delicate as one, while the poly case is tough as nails
you can get a few different circuits in them now too, my favourite is a "SUPRO" branded high-gain design that comes in the polycarb case, by default with your guitar controls cranked its very distorted but roll down your volume knob and you can unlock a myriad of lovely clean/overdrive sounds

ALSO if you get one, i would recommend making a speaker grill/cover by taking the back of the case off(which you have to do to replace the battery anyway), moving the speaker out of the way(it fits well enough into the casing that it isn't actually adhered or screwed in at all, so you can just move it when the case is off) then taping over the front of the case(gorilla tape is the best for this) and backing the bare sticky surface(over where the speaker will be) with some cigarette papers or something so you wont accidentally stick the cover to the speaker cone by applying too much pressure to it or dropping it or something.
having the cover on there is extra protection from moisture and force while also improving the sound imo, it takes some of the edge off, sounds a lot smoother(although it is a little quieter)

I Play the crossbow

I've always brought my guitar and ukulele. I recently just got my great grandfathers harmonica from my grandmother and I'm gonna start bringing that too

>>1081050
Martin backpacker a shit. Do not waste your money nor validate the marketing ape who came up with the idea.
t. owned several guitars, including CFM D18 and HD28LSV

None.

The sound of musical instruments actually attracts a lot of animals and predators out of curiosity.

>>1083592
Why do you recommend against getting the Martin Backpacker? I've heard then played and the sound seems solid (especially for a travel guitar). I've never played one, myself, though, so I'm curious as to what the disadvantages might be.

Deciding on what not to bring is a real pain sometimes. If all fails and there's lots of people I'll load up the game cart.

All the small stuff,

Kalimba/Thumb Piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR-ERR2BAl8
Jaw Harp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCbpuEola04
Harmonica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hjHWabvaho
Pan Flute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQTjgIQcYEc
Recorder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gyRp3i6HQ8
Ghungroos (the smaller ones that "tinkle" are better than the large bells I think): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhpXUzLQsgw

All the large stuff (fuck carrying it, but it is fun once you get there):

Didgeridoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu9OyaDh3vQ
Djembe (mine has its own backpack): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h2d3u7b6YA
Cajon (great for storing other stuff in, you can sit on it, but heavy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uLsM9vp3dw
5-gallon bucket and some sticks (lightest drum you can bring that's durable and can hold stuff and sit on it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9DJjQsIBcM

Want:

Hank Drum [Steel Tongue Drum] (I have the stuff to make one now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t4yockxH-0
Hang Drum (DO WANT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBiVq2MsCbs

The harmonica without a doubt.

Usually guitar or banjo. If I'm packing light, fiddle. I do a lot of primitive camping though, so they sometimes have an issue with modern banjos, and to a lesser extent, guitars

I use a Washburn R314KK as my bush git. Cheap-ish, small, decent sound, open headstock with steeper breakover angle seems to hold tuning better than my other guitars do outside, great factory case has survived many road trips in the back of my truck, finish already looks like dirt so it's no big deal taking it camping, old school V-shaped neck is great for fingerstyle/thumb fretting.

The Seagull Merlin dulcimer is also a lot of fun to take camping and everybody can play it even if they don't know a thing about guitars.

You don't seem to understand what primitive camping is. It is just going out and supplying everything at the campsite yourself. It may even be a festival campsite with tons of people or dispersed camping solo in B.F.E. For instance, there won't be any bathrooms for you regardless.

>>1084125
>no bathroom for me
What if I bring my own?

>>1084167
That's soup or stew argument territory. Like showing up with an RV and calling it "primitive camping". I'm sure there's a tipping point and I'm also sure people can argue until they are blue in the face about where that tipping point would be.

For me, the bathroom is a hole I dig with a trench shovel.

>>1080793
I usually bring a harmonica. I can only play a couple of tunes, but its fun to fool around with it around a campfire.

Well meme'd

On long hikes I wear my Whipsnake™ and bring the whole kit

And fwiw real bongos and congas are actually heavy as hell because they are built like barrels with thick wood staves. You can get cheap plywood or plastic ones tho.

My 25" tall djembe, in its backpack, is about 20lbs. It is all natural skin and think hand carved wood.
