Happened across this by accident, but thought I'd make an updating post. I come Nobo from ATL and have gone both ways, off I-40 and by taking 209 at...

I've heard the light can cut down on mouse activity and so I too like to bring my UCO lantern when I'm staying in a shelter. I've got a string...

Been using a candle lantern since the 80'sAdds a few degrees in the winter as well as ambiance. The brand I used was UCO. Agree with everyone else,...

Ive decided to go the second inflatable pillow route....I will enjoy having a hold pillow, and a larger head pillow

An air tag is a reasonable idea. You could conceivably create a geofence such that if the tag started moving you'd get an alert. You'd want to set...

How about use the wood and build a new shelter right on the spot with photographs inside of the old place.

I sit in my T-rest chair and snuggle up in my sleeping bag reading a good book. In the morning I will sit in my chair next to my stove and make...

I personally only had to separate myself from my pack 1 time on my AT journey and that was at the Notch Hostel in New Hampshire where they make you...

I use these led string lights. Weigh maybe an oz, and I'm still on the first one with good battery left after several hikes. I either string it up...

Looks like you're using a good pad, so you could underinflate it a bit, and fold the head end under itself. Return to normal shape and put another...

But I am sharp enough to have never ever done another flaming shot of alcohol that's for sure!!

When I was young and dumb and full of rum (151) I received 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 80% of my face ( flaming shots) Thank God no scars. I have...

I suggest heading to an REI or Outfitter that has a number of Brands to try. I started in Merril Moab’s, went to Altra Lone Peaks and loved them but...

I guess my wood burning stoves in my hot tents is a no-no.

I love UCO lantern in a shelter, especially when I am alone. also nice on a tree limb at camp, just for effect. I don't use it in a tent...

I'm a retired firefighter. I don't even have candles in the house.
