Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Anybody know of a lightweight hand tool to level out a camp spot.

Not everyone wants to be a greenie eco warrior, some just want a somewhat decent sleep when out hunting. Some of us even (gasp) light a fire and shit in the woods.

Talk about a pack of virtue signallers.

Campfires are fine. I will not carry a poop tube, however.

Shovel.


I had to google "poop tube"...people really do some weird arse shit in pursuit of their favourite religion.

I've backpacked the Sierra from one end to the other numerous times. How 'bout you? Never had a need for a "digging tool".

You havent had to place your camp in certain areas like we have then. Leveling a big tent for clients sure makes a few nights spikes so much better when you aren't rolling out of bed etc...

Of course if just simply hiking we could put tents anywhere. Not the case when hunting very often.

YMMV as it seems to.

And to clarify, or qualify my posts some more, I am talking about a backpacking size tent, not an outfitters size tent. A Bibler Eldorado in sketchy(er) weather, so finding a reasonably flat spot isn't that hard. Not much bigger than the sleeping pad. Summer a Black Diamond Mega-Mid.

What did you get?

For digging more than a hole to crap in, Glock e tool is the lightest closely followed by the Cold Steel shovel.

Got to thinking there are some Ti shovels that copy the USSR e tool that are light, but not sure how the Ti blade holds up and they are pricey compared to the steel.

To just level a bed in areas with trees, a contractor bag or 2 stuffed with leaves would be the lightest to carry and the least amount of work.

Lol my god you are an idiot lol

But good job on trying to diversify your posts, even if it's on something you're clueless about.

Turn your pad 90 degrees and put your head at the higher end. If you roll off that, you are on a dome and no one should be that clueless…

Do you really not know you can move the leaves in the contractor bags around to level(can even use them as a stand alone sleep mat) or is this just your Brady-Giglio side coming out?

Lol

So you're sleeping on contractor bags filled with leaf litter to level your sleeping area? You legitimately think that's a good idea?

How many times have you done this, MacGyver?


Might possibly be one of the dumbest ideas I've read on this forum. You would get better sleep by doing what shrapnel described.

It works.

Why is shifting contents inside a bag to interact with something on top of it(in this case a human) such a foreign concept to you?

Or, once again, are you just being dishonest?

Thought the name sounded familiar. No wonder you would throw in with him considering the similarities between the causes you both shill for.

"Throw in" with him? I wrote his idea would make more sense than the dumb shìt you wrote.

Happycrapper, you are out over your skies....pack up your leaf litter and go back to bìtching about cops.

Either that or get above ground with a hammock.

What's on the ground at 90°?

There's that too.
