Did ya watch Red Dawn lately or something..lol

REDRAGTOPRS · 08-28-2012, 07:25 AM

I have hiked my fair share of gorges, rapids, and trails, and I love kayaking.....On a side note, Hammock camping is the way to go, tents are out IMO......

ForceFed4g63 · 08-28-2012, 08:32 AM

That is entirely too much gear for hiking/camping lol. You don't need half of that stuff, and you will be regretting it when you're hiking with all that weight. Minimalism is the key. I used to go a lot but haven't been in a while. Planning a trip for later this year though.

Bradleyrj · 08-28-2012, 09:21 AM

I agree with Forcefed. WAY to much shit to carry... with that said however I see three knives and not one of them is a hatchet. You going to saw logs and limbs for fires with a pocket knife?

Blue Skunk · 08-28-2012, 09:28 AM

This is more my type of camping.

Also I may have missed it but I didn't see any food or fishing equipment. Even if you plan on making it back to base camp at night you will probably want some canned food in case you can't make it back when you get hungry.

Matts94Z28 · 08-28-2012, 01:58 PM

Looks like you're going to the woods to grow some green and brew white lightening. I don't camp at all, but there is no way I would try to bring all that shit.

snakeplissken · 08-28-2012, 02:11 PM

Camping without beer ?

That's just silly.

94FormulaBird · 08-28-2012, 03:33 PM

My pack with gear, clothes, water, and food is 43.5 lbs...I can handle that easily...picked up a pack saw today and will be batoning most of the wood with the kabar...i do not plan to stay in the woods for a few days and take the BARE essentials

BigdaddyDupree · 08-28-2012, 03:45 PM

I live in macedonia. Everynight i camp.

GreebeanZ28 · 08-28-2012, 07:18 PM

Dont forget a shovel to dig a hole so you can poop in. Bears will get you if you dont bury poop.
