That place can be dangerous for sure.
Those pillows rock.

I love those pillows but sadly they don't seem to work well for me as a side sleeper. :grayno:

I love those pillows but sadly they don't seem to work well for me as a deep sleeper. :grayno:

Fixed it for you.

I'm curious to see how they work. If history is any guide I won't remember anyways. :crazyeyes:

Try this one Sharkey. I have one. It's not too bad. I like it for the light weight for backpacking.

Just a heads up, Sports Authority closing all of their stores. This may be a good time to get some camping gear on sale!

Here's a news article on the closings: http://www.bankrate.com/financing/saving-money/sports-authority-strikes-out/

Confirmed.
.

Pretty well picked through. Ended up getting a couple isopro fuel cans for a decent price and a CamelBack for my wife.

Ok. Cool. Thanks for the info. We may check it out this week.

Sweet! Nice gear MTG! Here is a shot of my double Eno from last weekend. You'll love it.

My Eno and North Face sleeping bag showed up yesterday. I'm pumped to use them.

This is too good not to post.

very commune-like...you'll have to bust out the tye-dye shirts and start putting flowers in your hair...

Curious what you guys are doing for a kitchen box setup? I gathered the stuff to make something like these when I had my trailer

I'm thinking I may still make it and just throw it in the back of the Jeep when needed. Thoughts?

I use the same size pelican case for my kitchen on the road when I'm not hauling the trailer...but this stove setup in the pcase looks sweet...

North Face makes great bags...I have one that is over 30 years old and is still going strong...

Didn't know where to post, and really has no relevance, but I was brewery hopping yesterday in Asheville and was walking to Green Man and stumbled across the Eno headquarters. They were closed, but a random cool find.

Asheville is a very cool town...I drove thru there from Knoxville TN to Raleigh NC a couple years ago...

My sister and her husband live up there and we try to visit every month or two. It's tough to beat good food and an endless supply of craft breweries in that town.

Give me a shout next time you're up this way.

For sure, I need to hit you and Dubzy up for drinks next time.

Hydro hammock

Wow. On so many levels. Could be really cool. Apparently you're supposed to be naked and eating chocolate covered fruit when using one.

I better not show my wife this, who prefers baths to showers...we'll be stuck in the middle of nowhere and find out she used the last of our water supply to take a bubble bath...

 

[Sharkey]

I can't decide if that is the coolest or stupidest thing I have ever seen. :thinking:

Jesus, one pisser in your hammock and the water to urine ratio would be 1:1. That far above my allowable water to urine ratio threshold.
