Latest trip: Sipsey Wilderness in Bankhead National Forest, AL

May 2015

Had a good hike, camped out overnight, went home next day.

What I learned:

>Ziploc bag everything. It can be hard to dig through pockets.

>Bring an axe/hatchet.

>Don't forget a sleeping pad.

>Ticks are bad this year

Nothing quite like finding a tick attached to your dick. I'm waiting for the first good freeze so they'll die off before I go camping again.

Plans for next trip:

Start fire primitively

Eat a rabbit

Open to questions or advice.

Here's the stream near the campsite. There were a few deer tracks here.

Made an alcohol stove from a cat food can for this trip. It was fun but next time I'll use a better alcohol stove with a snuffer lid.

How the living fuck did you get a tick on your dick?

The ticks were especially bad this year. Every 20 minutes during the hike, the gf and I would stop and look each other over for ticks. We'd find a couple each stop.

My dad got bit by a tick turkey hunting this year, and now has an allergy to red meat. Poor, poor dad…

As for how, I guess the bastard got in when I went out to go pee in the middle of the night. Compression undies don't work when they're pulled down.

Went to Naturalist Basin in Utah's Uintah Mountains. This was a couple of months ago, unfortunately. I'm trapped in Houston until the semester ends in December now.

The good:

>beautiful scenery, obviously

>nice and cool in the mountains

>new water filter works, or at least I don't have Giardia

>sketchy noodles from the Farmers' Market made for a delicious spaghetti dinner

>it didn't rain, for once

The bad:

>didn't have much time to explore the first day because I found my campsite somewhat late

>Hanging your food is remarkably hard.

The goal was to hang it out of reach of wildlife, but it ended up right at head height for a bear. A sufficiently motivated raccoon could probably have made the jump. Better than on the ground across the campsite, I guess.

Any advice /out/ has on hanging food would be appreciated.

Just did Acadia this weekend. Hiked Cadillac mountain and camped for a while.

Bring a fucking sleeping pad camping

I went to Utah during the '15 summer as a standyby responder for the wildfires in California. Didn't end up going anywhere, spent most of my time hiking a few canyons that weren't "wild" per say, but I was still outside.

Longest trip, spent six days in Bear Lake Valley, Utah side of the Utah-Idaho border, with two friends from high school. End of June, but there were enough trees to easily stay out of the sun. Campsite was a pretty good ways off the beaten path, didn't see anybody but each other the whole week. Beef jerky and Mountain Dew every day, reset my circadian rhythm, learned to love hammocks. Enjoyed it greatly.

He's eating a lot more chicken now. I think he might be able to eat venison? But I'm not sure yet. I don't see why he'd be able to, it's red like beef.

I just bought a hammock, excited for that. Might be horrible, who knows? Gonna go car camping the first night I test it so if it sucks really bad I can just sleep in the car instead.

Hammocks tend to be the most comfortable means of camping, just make sure to use a sleeping pad under you.

Without one the wind will rob you of head, causing your ass to get cold

how do you use a pad in a hammock? Wouldnt a better sleeping bag be a better solution?

Woodsman 10/29/15 (Thu) 13:23:32 No.970

>>969

Usually the pad is placed under the person sleeping.

The main benifit of using a pad is that it insulates the body better than a sleeping bag alone, as it doesnt compress and lose the ability to isolate your body.

Its a shame that this board is as dead as it is

Got a new 0 degree mummy bag so my winter trips won't suck. Hopefully a winter hammock trip won't be terrible. I was planning on bringing a big tarp to hold in a little warmth, like a hammock in a-frame kinda setup. Any other ideas or suggestions, hammock friend?

The tarp is a good idea in colder months, just be sure to hang it so that the wind won't go clean through one end and out the other.

Other than that, this infographic should help it this is your first real time hammock camping
