Been coming here every now and then on weekends and after work.

Just started improving it today by adding rocks to the fire area. Thinking about making primitive fire reflecting walls next.

What else should i add?

>>19845
Don't be a dick. Like his style of camping, or not, at least he went /out/

This board needs more content of people going /out/ and less content about everything else.

Well done, OP. More pics of the area? Any from longer trips?

I hiked down to this dam to check out the potential for fishing it. Looked promising albeit hard to get to.

Not really a campsite but I like going up on cliffs.

>>19850
the guy wanted comments. I live in "cascadia" and it rains like hell along with the obligatory bears. People who sleep under a curved tarp confuse me

>>19853
alberta Canada here. we don't have nearly the amount of rain but yeah, cougars, bears, wolves here. Last guy I heard of sleeping under the stars in BC got dragged away and killed by a bear in the middle of the night. I can't relate to the saturday morning cartoon version of camping on here sometimes.

I like to spend nights in this abandoned shieling. I put my tarp across the door to keep the wind out and pile moss under my grond sheet to give a bit of comfort and insulation.

>>19859
Yup it is the hex tarp. Its just big enough. >>19861
Nice spot annon. Hope ou get some good use out of it this summer.
>>19863
Looks like a decent place to spend the night. Not familiar with what a shieling is. What was the original use?

>>19844
what happens if the rain blows in from the other direction?

>>19865
During storms you would set the tarp up lower to the ground. There is enough space under there that the rain would really have to be blowing to affect you. A few things to note. Firstly the forest canopy blocks a lot of the rain and slows its fall to the ground. The trees also block a lot of the wind at ground level. Most rain that falls in the PNW comes from one direction. So blowing in isn't really a concern. We do get some big wind storms in the fall and winter that can dump massive amounts of water. In those conditions you'd just set your tarp up differently. Or not go out in the first place. FWIW i havent slept in a tent for over 3 years. Just last year i spent a total of 17 nights under a tarp with no problems.

You find them in the Scottish Highlands, islands and I think Ireland as well.

They were used as summer dwellings for grazing animals out on the moor. Mostly occupied by women and children while the men would work at sea or maintain the croft.

Used for this purpose right up until the First World War, which ruined everything. A few geezers were still using them for their original purpose in the 50s but it died out after that. Now shelings are only used by /out/ types as shelters while on fishing trips.

This one that I pictured was built some time before 1890, and restored by a disendant of the builder, adding a corroded iron roof but he died and the shielding is in disrepair.

The attached picture is what it looks like on the inside.

Only snakes we have around my parts are slow worms. Which aren't actually snakes but 'legless lizards' according to the animal book.

Here is a picture of a really big female slow worm I found the other day.

I believe that the adder is the only type of venomous snake in the UK and they only live down.in England.

>>19872
Do people really set up camp at like 3pm on the apalachian trail? Also, are there creek scrambles or do you guys have bridges?

>>19881
sure. people do it everywh9ere. If you're hiking to get out and relax a bit, you cover enough ground in 5-6 hours of pretty constant hiking that its acceptable to set up camp around then.

>>19855
I've woken up and had cougars right next to my site. Get the fuck out of here with your faggy man-cape tarp shit

>>19883
Quit being a beta fag
A tent is not going to stop a cougar or bear from getting you. I really don't see why this is hard to understand. Also if i need to get out of camp fast I'm sure as shit going to be able to make a faster exit from a tarp than I would out of a tent.

Running a clean camp. Storing food stuffs in a tree and not cooking & eating in camp will be the best animal prevention.

Also hammock campers don't get half the flack that ground campers get. I really don't get it. If i had a hammock set up 4' off the ground with a tarp over it no one would be talking about
>muh Cougars
Fucking scared vaginas.

>>19881
I started hiking at 6am so I got to camp early

>>19884
Lol i no rite? I am far more scared of national forest hobos. Or feral hogs. I snore so i have woken up with a hog by my head more than once.

>>19881
and yes, there are bridges, and countless creek scrambles

>>19844
That tree is wearing a rubber. And there's a rotten limb over your tarp. Did you get raped, op?

No ridge lines, pitched 15 ft in air instead of finding another place to hang, no underquilts, no tarps, hung on saplings.

Hipster faggot eno hammocks detected.

The rubber is a full water bladder. Ant the tarp is in between a cedar and a hemlock so there are no branches over it.

>>19894
>Packing unneeded weight.
>gives a barrier
lel you're delusional. More like a death cocoon. Not that getting attacked by a bear or cougar at night is really a concern I have.
-Camping on private property. No animals have been habituated to there being food in this area.
-Clean camp
-No worries
Keep being scared and enjoy your false since of security.
>wake up in the rainy piss
Doesn't happen unless you set up the tarp like a moron. Years of experience will teach you this lesson. Ain't my first rodeo.
I don't doubt you have had cougars at your site. Its not typical and not particularly frightening/worry some.

>>19899
Do you like using ridge lines for your hammock? I've never tried them. I made some whoopie slings and can get a fairly consistent hang using them. The ridge lines just expedite the hanging process while at the same time aid in getting the geometry of the hang proper. Right?

>>978961

What? No. The pole that goes down on the back right is modestly bent. That's the only 'issue' and it's really not much of one.

I know, close to the road, a lot of things didn't go as planned. Our access was snowed in so we camped on a logging road a short drive from the hot springs we were hiking too. Bretty good view. Still ended up hiking in through the snow.

>>19876

Slow-worm is cute. CUTE

I love weird legless lizards because they don't have the malevolence and desire to crawl into your sleeping bag snakes seem to have. They're just bros.

>>19906
Nice spot. Even if it is on the road. And nice wall tent too!

>>19907
They are quite warry of people as you only usually find out on the moor but are apparently good to have in a garden as they eat slugs.

>>19899
12ft* and underquilts and tarps were not needed and yea i guess they are saplings but thats where the camp is and they held up just fine

>>19905

Thanks man. I have a lightweight two person and a one man, but the bird likes the luxury.

>>19905
yeah... the new company is still cheap and has similar stuff but not nearly as much. i'm still thrilled i manged to grab a 20 degree quilt before they crashed.

Sierra Designs seems to have a lot of stuff or cheap similar to them now. If my quilt ever dies I'm getting one from them, or one of their bed things. Looks awesome.

Also, that's a great pic. Such a cool tent with beautiful backdrop.

Some cunt fucked up my regular campsite for day hikes, cutting down a ton of small trees leaving it much more exposed and barren. I suspect the bum who built a shelter nearby did it. I'll get my revenge though. Never take your favorite spot for granted.

I have a place in northern Quebec on a lake. I went out before sunrise to fish and it was the foggiest I've ever seen it. Then when the sun came up it turned everything in sight bright Orange. You couldn't see the shore, you couldn't see 30 feet out but it was all a beautiful dreamy tangerine fog. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced. Better than lsd or dreaming.
