What’s your plan for the weekend?

Mine is nothing special, but I do plan on heading out Saturday to fish somewhere, play with my new Kovea Spider to make a Coffee and lunch… 

Speaking of stoves, do you camp or cook outdoors while out and about? What’s your favorite way of generating cooking temps?

I’ve always been partial to alcohol stoves because well, other than below freezing temps, they just plain work. No fuss, no muss. One of my favorites is and will probably always be the Fancy Feast (Fancee Feest) stove. Simplicity in itself, you can build them or buy them.  For longer cooking, the Trangia systems are hard to beat! A bit bulky for daily carry, but car campers rejoice! It’s perfect.

I’ll plan on doing some stove write ups and/or videos soon too.

Hammock Use and Camping Pt. II

No Comments

And we’re back for part II!

A few general rules:

  1. Don’t hang any higher than you are willing to fall!
  2. Always use an underquilt (unless it’s 100 degrees and dead calm with no winds). Convective heat loss will make you cold.
  3. Have fun! Even miserable experiences bring lasting memories.

Pads, underquilt or other wind blocks/warming aids will make the experience much more enjoyable.

Learning the correct knots will help stop a fall.

And now, more Shug:

Here’s a Shug playlist on knots and more:
