I can smell the sno-seal from here! grin


I had parallel set up, Raichle Hikers, Svea 123, and Kelty D-4, added extension frame and padded waistbelt , and rear pocket, until it was non-cordura Tioga!

Sno-Seal indeed! grin

I lusted for a Kelty pack, but I couldn't justify the cost when I had a decent pack/frame, and ropes, pitons, and carabiners were so expensive. Not to mention my beer bill wasn't exactly lightweight!

Hiked and camp the Wild Azalea Trail in central Louisiana. First time camping with a hammock. Works out well. My pack is an ALICE pack I bought a long time ago.

I've been curious about a hammock setup for a while, but never tried one. That looks like it might be pretty comfy!

Good times. Of course now days they might call they child abuse or abandonment.

What I wouldn't give for some pictures of those days.
JR High and we would sometimes walk to the local hills or be dropped off in the National Forest, and stay days at a time, no adults. Wonderful memories.

I'll second that request Mackay.

I see by your equipment you took a similar path to Doc and me. Thanks for the pics.

Jodhpurs or just pants wrapped tight under the gaiters?

They are cool. Were there any travelers met that gave you funny looks?

I love the knapsack and bedroll too.

Titanium rocket stove by Ed T. weighs nothing, and burns just a few twigs. It is sized to exactly one of my cups.

The stove makes it easy to stop and have a hot cup of coffee or noodles, in a matter of minutes. On those days where the wet and the chill seems to cut right through ya, it makes a big difference to keeping me motivated. smile


Valsdad and Doc,

Like you guys, I tend to travel with a minimal amount of gear. I prefer to spend less time cooking/preparing big meals/fiddling around, and more time exploring, fishing, hunting, hiking, etc.

The hammock, silnylon tarp, and bag all fit easily in a eberlestock riflebag, that is narrow enough to fit on the back of the bike. I don't have much use these days for some of the "tactical" gear, so it gets converted to more recreational purposes.

One note on hammocks. There is a learning curve. They are extremely comfortable when done right though. One thing is that in most places where the temps dip, you really need some insulation underneath you, like an underquilt. Lots of stuff online about all that though.

Here is our camping rig. 2012 Surveyor by Forrest River. It took us 15 years to find the perfect camper trailer for us, and this is it.

[Linked Image]

This weekend we took our rig and met my wifes sister, her daughter, and her son at Pioneer Park on the Salt Fork of the Red River. This is all four of the rigs together.

[Linked Image]

Saturday evening we had to do a shrimp and sausage boil, along with onions, potatoes, corn and carrots. Pretty good eats there.
