This is the thread for men who are not afraid to take along gear that weighs more while on long hikes to base camp.
Who here loves cast iron skillets and cast iron Dutch Ovens?

big quad guy here, I take a cutting board and a rack of spices and utensils, nothing like a good meal on the trail. also full fishing tackle because thise meals taste better fresh.

Defend against the heavy weight packers who were tired of him asking them for shit he didn't bring along on the trip.
Cooking with cast iron is an absolute joy. It's heavy, sure, but compared to cooking over an aluminum carbon fiber aerogel alloy nanopot it makes camp feel like home. Plus it's just a lot easier to do.
>>829781
I always bring my Dutch oven to the boundary waters. I take shit from people who ask why i would ever want to portage such a thing. Fuck me, i just love a late night apple cobbler too much.
>that guy who brings out the titanium skillet and burns literally fucking everything that goes into it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=421I-3iS8oA
just curious how much do you guys consider "heavy" when hiking
>>831684
Personally, I consider cast iron anything heavy while hiking.
>>831684
200lbs
>>831684
Around 90kg.
>>829897
Pic of calves?
N-no homo desu ;_;
>>831739
No, bully, plz.
>>830191
No amount of 'hiking properly' will stop the damage that comes with that weight. Because it's the weight that causes it.

0/10, would not watch ever again. I got mad as soon as I saw her pack
>>831867
Incorrect.
If you have it packed incorrectly and are walking with an incorrect posture and use incorrect footwear, you will fuck up your body. If everything is proper, a 90kg pack is nothing at all, unless of course you are a manlet, woman, or "something".
You are also not allowed to post ITT.
>Ultralight boys and car campers are not allowed to post ITT.
>>831902
>90kg pack is nothing
Thats almost 200 ameripounds.
>>831912
Correct.
The reason you would get joint damage from carrying heavy things for a long time is if you're carrying them improperly, or if you're carrying something far beyond your physical capacity.
>you'll only destroy your body if you do it wrong.
If doing it wrong is very easy to do then wouldn't the sensible thing be to not to carry the equivalent of a fat man on your back?
>>831942
Yeah, fat people never get joint problems.
>>832002
>carrying a heavy pack a few hours a day a few days a year vs carry it 24/7/365
>>832001
Tell me your opinions on driver safety.
>>831897
this is a pretty accurate summary
don't forget
>has a fling with some random hot guy she meets on her travels who shows her attention, showing that she obviously didn't learn any lasting lessons
>>832016
Well, there you have it people: heavyweight camping, for those who go /out/ once a year and hike a few miles.
>>832017
Only free, white men of good character who own land should be permitted to drive.
>>832029
>implying you go camping 24/7
You're not fooling anybody.
Why do people get salty when someone wants to bring a heavy pack? If the person feels fine carrying it the distance they're going and they're bringing what they need/a few comforts what's the big deal? If you don't wanna pack heavy then don't.
> get out ultralight fags

>Why do people get salty when someone wants to bring a heavy pack? If the person feels fine carrying it the distance they're going and they're bringing what they need/a few comforts what's the big deal? If you don't wanna pack heavy then don't.
Because whenever I go hiking with someone who packs a heavy pack it is because they have no experience and after a couple days they break down because they can't carry all the shit they brought with them.
>>832196
>them ultralight queers and car camping casuals am I right? This thread is for MANLY MEN OK

This thread is cancer
>>832195
302 miles in just in July here. Worked 22 days patrolling the trails and my 8 days off enjoying them. I'd love to see someone try it with a 90kg pack.
>>832202
Well keep in mind there are people who can handle a heavy pack for their trip and that they choose to do so. Just because you've only met dummies doesn't mean everyone who packs heavy doesn't know what they're getting into.
>>832210
>no one is even talking about car campers
>calls thread cancer

Thanks for letting me know man! Without you I'd be so lost.

I don't think "Firewatch" counts, kid.
>>832231
>vacationing vs paid
Hmmmm....so you want someone who doesn't have a job to do the same thing you do as a job but with a 90kg pack that isn't needed for your job at all? Nice logical fallacy.

>>829781
>Who here loves cast iron skillets
Here and also general heavyweighthiker. No nylon or shit, canvas leather and cast iron is what i use. It is not because i like to carry around extra weight, but i don´t care about it as much as i care about the robust feel those things give you in comparison to the fine ultralight garments. Those things feel like they are made for kids to play with.
It is a different kind of experience, so i don´t think it makes sense to compare it at all.

Keith posted a pic in the OP.
This is my cooking setup for backpacking. People always make fun of me but carried more when I was a soldier. They laugh until it's feeding time
>>832302
It's just hilarious when people think they are these hardcore outdoorsman and are better than everyone else because they carry a Dutch oven, but then it turns out that they only Cary it for a few miles a year.
>>831912
Are there really peeps here who can't carry 200 pounds? Even basement dwellers can do that much in piss bottles alone
>>832417
You literally just posted a thumbnail from pinterest. That is not your cooking setup.

thank you beautiful babushka
I hope this cures my sciatica

I can carry 200 pounds, I just wouldn't strap it to my back for a hike because I'm not a retarded faggot.
>>832501
Are you PCT anon? Goddamn pussy I bet you didn't even take a Dutch oven
>>832417
Not really heavy weight, since I'm not a homo, but it's my pet peeve to not have a fresh pottage going at all times. Some aren't into pottage so I always make regular soup in case my gf son acts like a little bitch
>>832535
No. Im just a tall ass bastard who decided that deadlifting with improper form was a good idea. thankfully I can still hike with my full pack fine.
Just cant sit down for an hour w/o pain in my leg

Am I missing something? That looks like a normal /in/ hike to our camping area. Typically go about 10-15, miles that is, not minutes.
Comfy cozy week-10 day trip.

I hate getting stuck with a table. Pro-tip, get some eye bolts/screw eyes and put them on the table so you can strap it to your pack. Being hands free is so much better.

i wasn't deriding, i was just saying that all that bulky heavy gear looks funny being packed like that. just because it's basically car camping sized gear strapped to packs.
i would see that being ok for like 4-5 miles but approching 10 miles and i'm sure that would be rather uncomfortable.
>>832674
The most I've ever gone in a day loaded like that is about 25 miles in the mountains. Then 2 weeks of camping and 25 miles back to the truck. The walk back is always the worst with or with out gear.

When I was a boyscout they used to make us hike 10 miles with 50lb packs
>>834490
Good call, those shoulder straps aren't even deformed under weight at all it seems.
>>834494
Seems like a good lightweight exercise. When I built a cabin on a old property we used to carry 3 cinder blocks each (25lbs each), but only about 6 miles of hilly terrain. We carried like 150 blocks I think. I wish digital cameras existed back then I have lots of fond memories of that place. Too bad drunk hunters burned the place down one night with themselves in it.
What's a good frame to get?

Between 12 and 25 miles a day. It really depends on the location. Anything over 200lbs and I'll bring a dolly instead of using a pack on my back. Careful though, a dolly will fucking spoil you. Don't get one used for warehouses. Get the ones used for carrying game. Then you can haul 500lbs and not get stick on a twig.

Humans are supposed to do things in groups so that honed skills in certain job areas can be done by the group's specialists. That's how humans do so well at civilization. As soon as you branch off on your own, you realize you can't do everything. You have to make compromises since you can't be an expert in all things nor can you do everything you need to do in the amount of time needed.
Thus, nearly everything portrayed in the media about 1 person doing it all almost always turns out infuriating. Doubly so when the person it follows doesn't have the specialized skills for the things they want to do.
tl;dr always go out with friends and family instead of being a fucking mental case and going it alone.

>>842635

>>842705
Then there's those times everyone in the group asks to borrow something from you because they didn't pack theirs.
Also, you shouldn't project your failures onto other people so much. It makes you look childish.

No, everybody hates you. I can tell you're the one that dictates every aspect of a hike/group activity.

Seriously, gtf /out/ of here you absolute delude imbecile. Some people actually come here to ask for advice and learn something. I bet my everything that you can't even lift 40 kg by yourself, let alone hike for hundreds of miles with 90, you fucking twink.

What do you all typically bring to get your pack to 200#? im pretty new to hiking and shit and dont even have 200 lbs worth of stuff to bring with me
>>848740
Mostly the same things other people with lighter pack have only in versions that are cast iron or much more durable or much more comfortable to use.
So instead of a titanium mess kit, it is a cast iron mess kit. Though, portable stoves are a thing too where you shouldn't be digging holes and building ovens at base camp or you are strict LNT.
>>848746
makes sense i guess. i think i would rather have a cast iron pan, i hate cooking on aluminum
I was kind of hoping someone would post a list of gear because when i said i dont have that much stuff i meant i have a home depot tarp, a hachet, a sleeping bag, and an old pack my dad gave me.
>>848747
Go out in your backyard/local park and camp a few nights. Don't worry about running back to the house or to the store for things, that is what this is for. Go buy the stuff you find that you need for utility or comfort. Once you have reached the point where you can stay there indefinitely without running to the house or store it means you have everything you need to use. From there, look up the better versions of those tools and items if needed.

Glad you think camping gear plus a pot that weighs about as much as your rifle plates carried recreationlly is the same as several years of shitty marches with mil style gear and probably doing a lot of dumb shit you wouldn't have to do while hiking/camping

I remember when everyone was mad at me going slow, I was carrying water cause I realized that no water for two days during summer means you should carry water. The people in front of the group were carrying the same pack as me minus ~3 gallons of water.

Historically, that is where fat goes and the midsection is where women carry a child while pregnant.
