Prepping For Camping Season

[Salty Booger]

I seem to have camping on my mind. I have been buying gear for next season thru Amazon and at the Dollar Tree. Last night I purchased a cooler, which is due to arrive on the 3rd.

So far I have...

Two sleeping bags
A bevy tent
Foam mattress
A cooler
A coffee press
A tiny wood-burning cooking stove
Plates, cups and utensils for two
Cast iron pan with spatula and spoon
Wash towels and wash tub
Folding saw

I'm thinking I want two coolers, one for my food and one for my drinks. I'm waiting for the one I ordered to arrive and then decide whether to order another. Also, I need a folding camp chair.

I am single, so I can travel minimally.

Too early for prepping for Mr Van.
I'll wait till my water supply won't freeze.
Then I start carrying....
- Water
- Food
- Cleaning supplies

I can fit everything in the trunk of my car.

Might could be that I carry more stuff.

When I was married and had kids, yeah, the wagon was riding on its axle.

I feel yah! I got my camping gear all ready, too. It's an ultralight setup that will fit into a 45 litre backpack. I'll just pack in, plunk down, and enjoy myself in the great outdoors. One of these days I might go and use up my stockpile of pto to do a small section hike in the upper part of the Pacific Crest Trail!

Being a hiker, you might be interested in the below...

I'm trying to avoid the waste of disposable propane bottles and such, so I bought the above. It is actually pretty cool. I still should get a camp fire grill, just the same.

You know what? That's actually a cool little device! I like that it can use alchohol and wood. Thanks for sharing that.


Have you used it yet? What are your thoughts on using it?

Mine was delivered right before Christmas, so I haven't taken the time to spark it up. I did set it up to check its stability with my Stanley outdoor coffee press and my 9 inch pan. The coffee press sits nicely on the small grill provided; whereas the 9" pan feels stable sitting on the risers. There are a lot of youtube videos on it...

Oh ok, thanks! I actually watch this guy, so thanks for the video!
