  I work at Oakland University. We have a National Historic Landmark on our campus (hooray!) It's called Meadow Brook Hall and it is the sixth largest historic home in the United States. It's basically like being transported into The Great Gatsby. I adore it. Here are some pictures of the hall.
  
  
• A picture of you on top of a mountain
  Note: this photo of a photo was technically taken for the contest, but the actual photo itself wasn't (clever workarounds!?). I'm not going to get out to a mountain anytime soon (I live in MI…) and my recent trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes is gonna be my best bet. ;P

• Write about your favorite vacation. It must be >100 words.
  My favorite vacation was when my parents, sister, and her husband went to Europe for two weeks in 2005. We flew in to London, took the chunnel to Paris, flew to Rome, and also to Venice. What a whirlwind! It was my first time on an airplane. I absolutely ADORED Italy and would love to go back someday. All of the art and architecture and FOOD. We ate so much gelato… haha. I was NOT a fan of Paris, but I think that's just because we went during the hottest summer they'd had in a while AND they were having a garbage strike. So much stink everywhere, blah! Pain au chocolat every morning kind of made up for it though… ;) I can't wait to go back to Europe someday!

• Describe to me your favorite video game, and why
  My favorite video game has to be World of Warcraft. I spent upwards of 7 years playing WoW and was an officer in a high-end raiding guild. It is such an immersive experience and a great way to kill time (LOTS of time). I started playing when my boyfriend was away at college and it was a good way for us to hang out together when we were apart. I quickly eclipsed him in levels and obsession (lol). I still get on from time to time but I'll never have that level of free time again… I miss it!

  Best brownies ever, hands down, but skip the pecans… I am a firm believer that nuts do NOT belong in baked goods. I usually just throw in some chocolate chips instead for texture and maximum yummies.

  I fell down in the driveway at my boyfriend's mom's condo last summer. I was carrying my laptop to my car and of course held it up in the air as I fell, not paying any attention to what the hell my body was doing in the meantime. I scraped up my knee really badly, and this little tiny scrape on the front of my foot where it meets my ankle will.not.go.away. It's just this dark patch of skin (not sure if that's technically a scar). I hate it and can't figure out why it won't go back to normal!

I'd recommend this hammock instead. It's 11 feet long instead of 10 feet for the other one. Longer means it's easier for you to get a good, flat, diagonal lie. I have a 10 foot single and it's great when I need to go lighter or want to use my mummypod, but an 11 foot double hammock is waaaaay more comfortable with an underquilt and top quilt.

Cheap summer underquilt, good down to about 40: https://smile.amazon.com/OneTigris-Hammock-Underquilt-Lightweight-Packable/dp/B01N95BEZU

Any blanket or an unzipped sleeping bag will work, but if you want a dedicated one: https://smile.amazon.com/SnugPak-Jungle-Blanket-Survival-Polyester/dp/B07BGY8WW2

That snugpak blanket is probably a bit warm but easy to hang your feet or knees out of and let it vent.

Another thing you could do to save money is if your sleeping bag has two zippers you can unzip the foot end and run your hammock through the bag. Sleeping on top of your bag inside the hammock is pointless because you'll compress the insulation and get a cold butt. Running the hammock through the bag will force you to lay inline like a banana but you will probably stay pretty warm on the cheap. It's way more comfortable to use a dedicated underquilt, though.

In my experience, ENO is way too expensive for what you get.
Things may have changed since I had one, but when I got my Eno in 2012 you had to buy the straps separately on top of the already over priced hammock.

I've had a Hobo Hammock for a bit over a year and I love it. I recommend it to everyone I know who's interested in a hammock. It's a solid price, a very good size, and it comes with straps.

I've also heard great things about Bear Butt, but have no personal experience myself. I know they're on sale right now on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0161NDNS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7XCBybYBM7YZ9

That's pretty dang hard to beat for the price. I don't particularly like the straps it comes with, but you can get some spares for $10-$15 from various places. I know Dutchware and Hobo Hammock both sell straps separately if you need them.

I also know people who have used Grand Trunk and seem to have good experience with them. From what I've seen, they tend to be a bit smaller.

Hello fellow lonely grad student! What I've done on weekends before is walk from Sac downtown to midtown, grab a coffee/beer on a patio somewhere and watch life go by outside. I'll sometimes bring my laptop to get some extra work done, but getting out of town for a bit does wonders for my mental health.

If you wanted to stay in Davis, a long walk/bike ride through the arboretum followed by a refreshing beverage downtown is also nice.

I have a relatively inexpensive hammock that I'll bring with me in my backpack, find a good shady spot to hang it up, and read and relax for a while. Davis has a ton of great parks with perfect spots for this. If you live anywhere near the Covell Greenbelt, I'd definitely recommend wandering around there. I've also found McKinley park in Sac to be a good option.

I have the following set, it should suit your needs:

• https://i.imgur.com/sOSE4Zj.jpg
  
  Here is price information from Amazon, for what is included:
  
  Item | Amazon Price
  --- | ---
  The Bigger Blacker Box | $15
  Cards Against Humanity | $25
  Cards Against Humanity: First Expansion | $10
  Cards Against Humanity: Second Expansion | $10
  Cards Against Humanity: Third Expansion | $10
  Cards Against Humanity: Fourth Expansion | $10
  
  You can "complete" the set by ordering expansions Five and Six on Amazon.
  
  The Bigger Blacker Box case has enough room to fit both additional expansions, if you take out the foam spacers. It also comes with black dividers, for helping organize.
  
  I have not done this, btw, but apparently if you cut open a specific place inside the lid of the Bigger Blacker Box, there is a special card inside. Something about big black cocks, naturally.
  
  Purchase price on Amazon for all of these items is $80 total. I will offer my set at $70. It is in excellent condition. We've only used it on two occasions.
  
  Also, I know people are probably wondering why I don't offer a larger discount. $70 for a used CAH set might seem "not generous enough". Here's my perspective though. a) This is a pretty comprehensive collection in excellent condition (most of the cards have never been used) and well organized, b) I don't care if I sell it or not, c) I suspect you might be interested in completing the collection anyway, and this collection gets you 80% of the way there, and d) you have a tight timetable.
  
  I live downtown. I work from home. PM me if you're interested, my schedule is flexible.

I agree with you about using mesh ground cloth. Awesome, way better than waterproof or even waterproof/permeable like Tyvek.

These are pretty cheap, but not as permeable as some mesh: https://www.amazon.com/Camco-42805-Perfect-Weather-Proof-Resistant/dp/B00HJ6O4A0/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00HJ6O4A0&pd_rd_r=RS0HP6384TPTQ3RGCN6G&pd_rd_w=3cyhv&pd_rd_wg=0Z2Ie&psc=1&refRID=RS0HP6384TPTQ3RGCN6G

We've used shade cloth and weed matting too, and that's cheap as well. And it had bigger holes than what I cited above. I really like the fabric that is used in Roll-a-cots and chairs and such, but I dunno what it's called so it's hard to find in bulk since it seems to have several names. But I found a big sheet of it at Ace Hardware once. Great stuff. Dust just sinks through, as does water. Easy to clean too. Some RV places have it:

https://www.rvupgradestore.com/BREATHABLE-OUTDOOR-MAT-p/14-2600.htm?gclid=CjwKCAiAksvTBRBFEiwADSBZfJcUZgwElfxn8wCC0x5Fzm3MVF9t4fKGzKOIOPyItOmaJBUO5MTHCBoCdSgQAvD_BwE&gdffi=d722fab84a06472899ce2a16e4d2ed3f&gdfms=17E72B4C53E04A6A9B083C49FA6A6A25

That looks overpriced, also they don't show you anything about how you hang it, I would suggest it would be like a gathered end hammock but with no explanation I'm pretty lost here.

If you're looking to save money you could get a grand trunk for 19.00 or so http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Trunk-GT-05-Ultralight-Hammock/dp/B001AIBJSI

Or you could get an ENO for the price of the hammock you list http://www.amazon.com/Eagles-Nest-Outfitters-SingleNest-Hammock/dp/B001DDPG9I/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1346975200&sr=1-1&keywords=ENo just make sure you get the 42 dollar one.

All three of these hammocks are going to need a suspension system. You can read all about that here http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=86

Now if you're not going camping and just going to hang in the back yard I would suggest the texsport la paz
http://www.amazon.com/Texsport-14258-La-Paz-Hammock/dp/B000P9GZUA/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1346975458&sr=1-1&keywords=tex+hammock probably the best backyard napper around.

Hope all this information helps.

TL/DR Don't get a hammock from these people, there are way cheaper, lighter, and better options for camping and also for the back yard.

Not tech but there are some great Hammocks that you can get on Amazon for $20-30. They easily fit in your bag and you can set up/take down in 5 minutes! Just make sure you get one with straps (like this one) and not ropes since that's what make them so versatile and easy to setup.

Now anytime you see two trees you can setup your hammock and relax!

I'm not going to recommend any particular underquilt, but I did want to get my .02¢ in. I think the underquilt you choose isn't all that important. you're looking for something that attaches easily, is light, squishes down to nothing and prevents wind for hitting your butt.

I purchased the Warbonnet Wooki @ something like $250.00 and while it fits, it's a bit short and my feet aren't covered and freeze. It's super high quality, but it wasn't perfect.

On the flip side, I purchased my son a generic Amazon $50.00 underquilt (like this one, of many and it suited him perfect. We slept on Blood Mountain when it got down to 13° one night and we both did okay.

So look for: Coverage for your whole body, not just part of you, wind breaking ability, and some insulation ability.

We have a 'Woombie Ecotravel Baby Donut' got it 5yrs ago with the first kid and its still in great condition. Just looked and the specific baby one we have is discontinued, but they have a toddler one which is a bit bigger and appears the same.
I don't recall paying $100 for it 5yrs ago but that appears to be the price of them now.

Either way, its great for any type of travel, even just day adventures with a kiddo.


Wife just looked over my shoulder and added some more info on this.
There is something called a Docatot which is the replacement for the baby one, but more expensive.
Apparently my mom found ours at a consignment shop and got it much cheaper then retail.

What she suggests is a Travel Bassinet like this which is more budget friendly.
Another thing she mentioned is when camping, there aren't many places to put a baby down, so getting something like this a beach mat, will really come in handy.

These are all great suggestions. Probably the best in the thread. Each of these items takes up little space, is very useful and could save someone's life. A compass and Lifestraw stay in my pack for all adventures. They always get used.

A nice throw blanket, or parachute hammock are also great ideas.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCKAM7W?psc=1
http://www.coalatree.com/home/153/kachula-blanket-v1

Grand Trunk Ultralight Hammock - 12oz, $20

Outdoor Products Tarp - 20 oz $50, or 35 oz $60 for the bigger version

Sleeping Bag - 27 oz 55F $40

pillow - $30 3oz


I'd start out with this setup, plus some paracord and two to four tent stakes for securing the tarp.

If it's hot enough I'd ditch the sleeping bag for a silk sleeping bag liner. If it's cold enough I'd use a bag with a lower temp rating.

If I think bugs will be an issue I'd add an eno bug net

If you're not a hammock guy or think finding trees will be an issue whhere you're going I'd look into something like a eureka solitaire, but you'll want to add an air mattress when sleeping on the ground. The mattress can be used in the hammock too, it adds a lot of warmth in cooler weather.

Lastly, don't be afraid to utilize your environment. I've slept in all sorts of improvised shelters. In fact on my last tour I didn't bring a tent or hammock, just a bivy, sleeping bag, mattress and pillow. I knew spots along my route like churches and parks that had covered areas where I could sleep, so I used those to save on my gear weight. I've slept in caves too. One time I slept in an abandoned school bus. Using spots like this can make your nights more comfortable and save you the hassle of setting up a tent that evening.

I'm at work so I don't have photos of my stuff. But here is the list of the basics. The stuff below, plus food, and a change of clothes will get me through a long weekend and on top of some nice terrain. I include my sock liner/sock combo below because I am so damn happy with them (and not expensive).

• Black Diamond Infinity 60 pack
  
  
• Surplus Military Woodland Cammo Bivy Cover
  
  
• A 40° Slumberjack Sleeping bag and a 20° Slumberjack sleeping bag that can nest to be a 0° sleeping bag (Not sure which model... they are about 10 years old).
  
  
• Yukon Outfitters Parachute hammock with net
  
  
• 2 Sierra Cups and a spoon from when I was a Boy Scout over 30 years ago.
  
  
• Whisperlite MSR stove
  
  
• Wigwam Ultimax Sock Liners with Merino Wool Socks
  
  
• Frog Toggs Rain suit
  
  
• Estwing Hatchet (If needed. If I am going distances, I don't take the weight, but it is an amazing tool for the size/weight/practicality)
  
  
• Leatherman PST
  
  
• Cheap walking sticks from wal-mart
  
  
• 2 Nalgene Water Bottles
  
  
• A Fly from my old Kelty 2 person tent.
  
  
• Some cheap Chinese made waterproof hiking boots that I got at Wal-Mart and have been unstoppable.
  
  
• A pump style water filter Mine isn't MSR, but it looks like this.
  
  
• Coleman Chilko River Parka for my outer shell, various synthetic fleece and wool layers for my inner layers. A dry fit long or short sleeve synthetic shirt for my wicking layer. I have gone down to single digit camping in that without a bulky coat.
  
  
• Energizer headlamp (AAA batteries!)
  
  
• 100 feet of this orange reflective cord
  
  
• A very comprehensive first aid kit I have assembled over the years to deal with everything from cuts and scrapes up to broken limbs and serious bleeding. (Sam Splint, Quick Clot, Homemade Cravats sealed in vacuum packs, trauma shears, various OTC medications, epi-pen). It is a little heavy, so I have various sizes I bring depending on the duration of the trip, my traveling companions (usually Boy Scouts) and our distance from help.
  
  
• A Yaesu VX8R Radio I'm a HAM and it is a great emergency radio.
  
  
• Garmin eTrex 20 GPS (AA Batteries!)
  
  I am pretty frugal so I don't have top tier stuff, but if I spent 10x more I might save 2-3 pounds... easier for me to put down the spoon and lose that much weight from the engine (me). I mostly go with the Boy Scouts as an Assistant Scoutmaster, so I don't do much "extreme" stuff. We mostly do 10-20 mile hikes in New England (4000' peaks with cold, wet, unpredictable weather).
  
  

Well, I was sold on the Exos 58 from all the research I had done. I ordered it online and it arrived at my local REI. I just went there on my lunch break to pick it up today only to realize my torso size is M not L :-(

Tried on the not blue Exos in M, and as I had thought, the hip-belt was not positioned correctly for my 36-38 waist. I am doing cardio and will get down to a 34-36, but not before my Grand Canyon trip at the end of the month. So, I tried on my "on paper" second choice, the Atmos 65. For 1lb1oz more weight, the adjustable hip and shoulder straps fit soooo much better. There are more external pockets that can help me with my gear to be more organized. (quick access to my chair) All of my stuff is ultralight, and I had hoped to really get the light Exos.

TL/DR - went to REI to grab my ordered Exos 58, walked out a happy man with an Atmos 65.

I have gotten this particular hammock for several friends and they have all LOVED it. Affordable, light-weight, packs easy, all the hardware that you need is included, and durable as hell. It's great getting pics from my friends in this hammock, in different spots around the world. ...and I feel like I have to say it... I do NOT work for this company in any way whatsoever... just passing along a gift idea that has worked well for me.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GCKAPLK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1491976966&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=hammock&th=1&psc=1

check out /r/hammockcamping

I am in a similar position as you so I can't really claim to be an expert, but from what i have read:

you need something under the hammock or between you and the bottom of the hammock. you have 2 options. option 1 is a sleeping pad. you may have one from your camping days so that would be cheap as in free. or you can go with an underquilt. which is kinda like a sleeping bag that goes under your hammock. I recently bought this one supposedly good down to 5C. hoping to get a chance to test it out in my garage this weekend.

> The first one he linked is 8 feet long.

>DIMENSIONS - Hammock 8ft 91in/230cm (Long) x 2.8ft 33.5in/85cm (Wide)

That's not a hammock, that's a bodybag lol.

I'm 190cm and previously had a 2.7m DD hammock which was definitely too small for me to sleep in comfort. My new Dutchware 3.3m is way better (but also more expensive).

Depending on your height I don't see why you wouldn't be comfortable in something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Winner-Outfitters-Double-Camping-Hammock/dp/B01GCKATD4/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1500568695&sr=1-3&keywords=camping+hammock

(literally the top result on amazon)

It won't be the absolute lightest, most high-tech, durable, easy-to-set-up hammock, but then again: it's not expensive and I doubt it will be 4x as uncomfortable as a 100 dollar hammock.


The ones /u/tikker_g mentions are all well-respected brands, but if you're just getting into hammocking I think a cheap & cheerful hammock is a better way to start. You may find you don't like it, or can't sleep in a hammock.


EDIT: this one combined with their tarp also looks pretty decent if you're under 1.75m or so:

https://www.amazon.com/Eclypse-Camping-Hammock-Professional-Strength/dp/B017QV411Y/ref=pd_sbs_468_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B017QV411Y&pd_rd_r=HTR7HVFYYQ3HD6NGPPMM&pd_rd_w=u0zLP&pd_rd_wg=PN63D&psc=1&refRID=HTR7HVFYYQ3HD6NGPPMM

Easy! The best cot solution in the world! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I641UQ/ref=s9_al_bw_g468_i1

Takes about 5 min's to setup and is solid as a rock. I use it for weekend dirtbike trips and its perfect. They even make a "Double" wide for you and your wife to sleep together.

Get one of these: TETON Sports Outfitter XXL Camping Cot - Limited Edition; Perfect for Base Camp and Hunting; Free Storage Bag Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GLGRVU8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sQWEyb5M7428D

I have a similar one made by a company that I'm not even sure exists anymore called Nebo Sports. From the pictures it looks identical. Mine's around 14 years old and holding up great. They're very comfortable, even more so if you throw a pad on top.

For tent, I am a huuuuge fan of the new Big Agnes Tiger Wall. It is a mix between the Copper Spur and the Fly Creek...packs small, carries very light, and is super nice no matter what kind of camping you are doing.

Big Agnes Tiger Wall Tent

For an air mattress, there are many on the market but IMHO the best compromise of weight, packed space, and weight is this one:

Thermarest NeoAir MAX SV Air Mattress

​

Also, while you're looking for cool camp stuff, grab a pair of these camp chairs instead of the traditional ones people get...way smaller and imho just as comfy:

Moon Lence Ultralight Camp Chair

I second this. At your height, you're probably going to want to go for an 11ft hammock, and definitely nothing shorter than 10ft (which many of the ones on Amazon are).

If I were you, I'd take a serious look at one of these Wildhorn Outfitters "Outpost I" hammocks. I don't have any experience with them personally, but the review score is solid and $40 for an 11ft hammock w/ aluminum/wire-gate carabiners AND a cinch buckle suspension system is a pretty fantastic deal.

A lot of people are suggesting Bear Butt, which is a great brand with the BEST return policies. For about $28 on amazon however, you can get the same hammock with straps from honest outfitters.

I was skeptical because of how dirt cheap it was, but after ordering one as a back-up hammock, I've decided this is probably the best deal.

(If you someday decide you want to camp outside in your hammock though, Warbonnet's blackbird is the way to go)

fear cuts deeper than words

Edit #1 - Replaced #1 #2, #9, #13, #15, edited some text, added bonuses

Okay, so a lot of my items are similar, or are kind of "flexing" the rules, but I will leave official rulings up to you. Here goes!

1. Something Grey - Strip of magnesium - This actually just got gifted to me. This coal trash can is silver, which is basically grey :D
   
   2)Something reminiscent of rain - Zen Garden - Flexing the rules. It's only related because it's a garden. An umbrella!! I don't have one of these, and I have no idea why.
   
   
2. Food related - Pineapple corer/slicer
   
   
3. On wishlist not for me (this is for my fiancee) - Apple Cider k-cups
   
   
4. A book you should read - Everyone should have the Joy of Cooking
   
   6)Item less than a dollar - MP3
   
   
5. Something related to cats - This is related because of that scene in "Christmas Vacation" where the cat gets electrocuted
   
   
6. [Beautiful but not useful - Lego adoption of Brandenburg Gate](
   http://www.amazon.com/LEGO%C2%AE-Architecture-Brandenburg-Gate-21011/dp/B0050R0V3O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=E9RD1GO4V1KF&coliid=I22USNN7FC4LVL)
   
   
7. Movie everyone should see once - Not on wishlist - Harlan County, USA. This documentary is nearly perfect in every sense of the word. This movie is so powerful, and so real, it's just unbelievable. One of my favorites. I always suggest it when someone asks "what documentary should I see?"
   
   
8. Something useful when Zombies attack - Kinect Your Shape Fitness Evolved - You need to be able to Outwit, Outrun, and Outlast.
   
   
9. Profound impact on life - Guitar. I really want to learn how to play, and my dad was going to teach me, but he passed before he was able to. It would mean a lot to share that passion with him even though he's already moved on
   
   
10. Add-On Item - Cat6 cable!!!
    
    
11. Most expensive item -It's actually the guitar, so I went with the 2nd most expensive which is a Logitech G19 keyboard Nope. It's actually this amp.
    
    
12. Bigger than a bread box - Mizuno backpack
    
    
13. Smaller than a golf ball - Not sure if a k-cup would count, but I threw it in there. If it doesn't count, I will find something else It doesn't. Here's some ship and anchor cufflinks I really want for my wedding :)
    
    
14. Something that smells wonderful - Kind of cheating, but a different k-cup. Donut shop coffee is the BEST. Changed to a different beverage. I have a horrible addiction to this stuff, and it smells wonderful (to me)
    
    
15. SFW Toy - Legos are a toy!! :D
    
    
16. Helpful going back to school - I listed the Zen Garden again because it's helpful to have something peaceful when going back to school
    
    
17. Something related to your current obsession - I am OBSESSED with Lorde. I have stated this many times over the last week.
    
    
18. Something amazing/awe inspiring - SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING CHAIR. THIS MOTHERFUCKER RIGHT HERE? THIS SHIT FOLDS UP SO YOU CAN CARRY IT. NOT GOOD ENOUGH? SHIT, SON. THIS BITCH HAS TWO ARMRESTS FOR YOUR LAZY ASS. STILL BITCHING? GUESS WHAT DICKLIPS, THIS BITCH HAS TWO CAN HOLDERS AND A FUCKING COOLER. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO GET YOUR BITCH ASS UP TO GET A DRINK, BAM, YOU ALREADY GOT ONE. IT EVEN HAS A POUCH TO HOLD YOUR OTHER SHIT, IF ALL OF THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS CHAIR.
    
    
    BONUS #1 - I looked through your reddit history (not very hard, but I did look), and came up empty, so I'll just post something later that might fit.
    
    BONUS #2 - These blankets are made in Oregon, and look SUPER cool. Not on my WL (I have more than enough blankets), but I really like them.
    
    
    I may attempt the bonuses tomorrow, we will see. This is definitely a placeholder until rulings on some items are made. Fix'd :D

I'm the same height and pretty much the same weight as you. I recently purchased a Winner Outdoors Hammock and couldn't be happier for the price. I bought it 2 months ago and have used it twice to camp with.

My only issue is that I'm new to hammock camping and I wake up far too much in the night, so it's not as good of a night's sleep than my tent. I'm hoping that'll change.

Good luck!

Holy shit. Don't spend $160 on a chair for your first motocamping trip! Here, people swear by this.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y2A6Z12/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=AC8Q323FGRD88&psc=1

My general advice to people is to buy the absolute cheapest version of everything and then decide what you want to upgrade later. My $35 tent is still going strong after a full year, but I decided to upgrade my.mess kit after about 3 days.

And yeah, come on over to /r/motocamping. It's a great sub.

I would love the mass effect version of risk. I really want it, but it is too expensive for me to buy for myself. For the rest of the money, I would love the fourth CAH expansion

I bought the green Yukon outfitters hammock when it was on sale at Woot! It was like $25 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BBY371S/ref=twister_B00MAUNB2M?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I also bought a Yukon outfitters rainfly (black) for $20 on sale at Woot! and swapped out the orange reflective paracord with black paracord. It blends nicely with the woods (well, over other colors atleast).

The bug net works great (kept me from the horde of mosquitoes in the Florida summer) and you can use grommets to make your own ridgeline so you can have a handgun setup at the ready inside your tent. I'm 200 lbs 6'2" and I drunkenly fell backwards onto the net and it somehow didn't tear at all after 20 seconds of trying to flip back. It's not a double but if you're hunting I'm going to assume you'll be so tired it probably won't matter.

Hammock! The best way to relax in the forest! Weekend 1!! <3

Birthday Shenanigans are hearing me tell a horrible pun! Like this:

Two fish are in a tank. One turns to the other and says "How do you drive this thing?!?!"

Or:

Two muffins are in a oven. One says "Man, it sure is hot in here." The other one freaks out and says "Holy shit!!! A talking muffin!!!!"

hehe. They still make me giggle :P

This would be delightful and make me laugh even more!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Haven't got it yet, but looks pretty solid.

You can get a Yukon Outfitter hammock with bug net built-in (if you don't want it just flip the hammock over) for around $40-50s: https://www.amazon.com/Yukon-Outfitters-Mosquito-Hammock/dp/B00BBY371S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468441131&sr=8-1&keywords=yukon+outfitters+hammock

You'll want a hammock tree strap which is REALLY handy. You won't need to do any knots or anything and it stays on there merely by tension with just one wraparound of the tree, and you won't need to worry about it not being sturdy enough compared to a cord. They're cheap, $8 dollars: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X2B14UO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then you can get a tarp around 10x10 feet for also around $30 (you might already have one since that's universal to tents and hammock). You don't need a heavy duty one, it's hanging in the air above your hammock barely coming into contact with anything, the one you linked in another comment looks heavy. You do want a big one in case of rain, so you'll have enough coverage b oth for your hammock and your gear. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AXV8VLU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1EF9OE38VX40W

Like isogreen42 said, just sleeping in a sleeping bag in a hammock will mean that you will quash the bottom of the sleeping bag, compressing the material and nullify the insulation, so you'll want an underquilt. You could just use an ultralight sleeping bag or a jungle blanket, and tie the 4 ends to a tree or the line from the hammock. I don't have a link for this one, I'm assuming you already have an ultralight sleeping bag. If you don't, any one you find on Amazon will do. I think I got mine around $15-30.

And then you'll be warm (unless it's down in the 30-40s) and you can just use another ultralight sleeping bag or jungle blanket as the top quilt / actual blanket. Again, $20-30s: https://www.amazon.com/SnugPak-92248-Snugpak-Jungle-Blanket/dp/B00CJFOAZK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468441187&sr=8-1&keywords=jungle+blanket

And then you should be set! So you're looking at...around $130? Not too bad for an experiment.

It was fun researching and gearing up for this trip. The seats were awesome to have and took up very little space.

The chairs we bought were much cheaper versions of the Helinox that seem to be almost exactly the same design. Moon Lence Chair - Amazon

This is a super cheap pad and keeps my heels warm. 2 pairs of socks may also be cutting off your circulation, making you cold much easier. Consider one thick pair of comfy thermal socks. I've made it to 34 in nothing more than some thick socks, fleece pants and that foam pad in a hacked and modified 20$ sleeping bag turned top quilt. What top quilt are you using?

Honestly? An eno double nest seeing as I've slept in mine for the past week they are fantastic

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCKAM7W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_NyAuAaGwTzzKW

Definitely feels a lil sketchy getting into it, but fantastic hammock for the price.

There are plenty of backpacking cots out there, but they are as low to the ground as the inflatable mats. They are also quite expensive, and you sill might need a mat on the cot anyway because there is little to no insulation with the cots.

I tried one for motorcycle camping, after my inflatable mat blew out (was quite old) and sent it back. It didn't offer me any extra comfort for the bulk and weight it added. Even on a motorcycle, I worry about weight and bulk, though not as much as with backpacking. I sent it back when I got home.

Backpacking cots - quick search

Others may have had different experiences.

If I am in a car and just camping at a campsite, I use a tent-cot quite often. I will use a mat in it as well, for insulation when it drops below 70 deg. They have the same cold-butt-syndrome as with a hammock. It works well when you are just there and can let the car do the work. Most are for single occupant. But this may also be something to look into, but not for backpacking.

Tent Cot - example (I have Cabella version of this one)

Had a friend who was trailering his bike bring this to an event this July. He was able to help me out as there was not any good trees in our area for my hammock.

​

A hammock like this. There are lots of different positions that are great on hammocks. A simple google search can provide details much more exacting and concise than I can.

I updated my setup in the end, dropped the all in one hammock for a double hammock and bought a separate bug net. It costs more, but it is more practical and still better than the premade sets in my opinion.

I'm camping on my own for now, because my gf isn't particularly convinced by the idea of sleeping in a hammock (she prefers to sleep in a tent), but I'll definitely keep your advice in mind once it gets to it.

good find! i really wish they had the lighter type on aliexpress or an alite myfly knockoff

i think for a tent your looking for a teepee style tent for your headroom. also i would suggest something more along the lines of a sleep cot rather than an air matress to have a more rigid sitting position. or you can get something like this for the best of both worlds

Wanted to chime in and say, I'd love to see your plans, too, if you care to share with the rest of us! I thought picking up a grand trunk for $17 the other day was good (Amazon sale -- now $20), but you're putting me to shame! Paired with this compact and quite warm sleeping bag, you're off to the races.

Fellow FJ driver here. Couldn't justify the cash for an RTT, so I picked up an oversized model Kamp-Rite tent cot:

https://www.amazon.com/Kamp-Rite-DTC443-Oversize-Tent-Cot/dp/B000I641UQ

Folded, it fits perfectly in the cargo area. Tent pops up when you open it, and it's as comfy as sleeping on, well, a cot (comfy). Not as roomy of course, but it's tall enough to sit up in. I like that you can set up camp and then go wheelin'.

I bought this Chinese pad last october and its sufficed

Blue Foldable Folding Foam Waterproof Chair Cushion Seat Pads
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A8WMS3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yVmGzbZT6S5VN

Its smaller in size and not as thick, but its literally only a couple of bucks with free shipping, so you cant complain to try it out. Just checked my lighterpack and it came out to 1.1 oz

i have the amazon chinese knockoff of the REI/helinox chairs. this one here.

https://www.amazon.com/Moon-Lence-Ultralight-Folddable-Backpacking/dp/B00Y2A74L2/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=moon+lence+chair&qid=1573486144&sr=8-4

ive had it about 5 years and its still going strong. highly recommended and cheap

Yeah, I have one of those as well. I call that a backpacking chair, not a full size camp chair like this: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Cooler-Portable-Camping-Chair/dp/B0033990ZQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1522269253&sr=1-4&keywords=camp+chair

I have 3 Eno hammocks among my family. I just replaced 2 of them with Bear Butt hammocks from Amazon. The fabric is exactly the same. (75D/250T) The gathered ends use nylon straps instead of the marine grade rope on the Eno. (I replaced these with Amsteel continuous loops from Dutchware.) The carabiners are not as nice as the wire gates on the Eno so I just transferred those from my old hammocks.

For a budget hammock you cannot go wrong with Bear Butt. I am more than happy with them especially for $26.

Linky

I just bought this one from Amazon. Love the lightspeed strap system! I did a shitload of research and this hit all of my metrics for pack weight, load weight, hang system and hammock size. $60.00 with Prime.

Or one of these. I sleep in this every night and love it!

I like this camp chair for car camping:

• https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Oversized-Quad-Chair-Cooler/dp/B0033990ZQ
  
  You may find more help on /r/camping and /r/CampingGear

Helinox Chair One clone for $32 that's 24oz if you don't use the carry sack. I've been using one for 2 years with great success.

It is 8oz lighter than the real Chair One that sells for $100, but not as light as the BA Chair Zero (16oz) that sells for $120.

Helinox - Ground Chair, The Ultimate Lightweight Camp Chair, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H8KG67Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_hmtkxbM6N8JBP

If you are camping , I assume you are. After 12 hours in the saddle it's nice to rest your back against something.

Also somebody else said it, but I will reiterate, HYDRATION is a serious fuck up if you don't do it. The wind wicks moisture from your body faster than normal.

Also, a good data plan to offload pictures.

Enjoy the ride.

This is a good relatively cheap tent that packs small because of the short pole lengths (short poles are hard to find in a tent): https://www.amazon.com/Kelty-Salida-Camping-Backpacking-Tent/dp/B00NFCFO0Q That's the cheapest short-pole tent I was able to find when I was looking.

Any Amazon inflatable sleeping pad will do for Summer camping. For winter camping, if you don't want to freeze, get a good insulated inflatable pad.

Any 'ole pillow.

This stove: https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Ultralight-Portable-Backpacking-Ignition/dp/B00B4FY8YO

A chair like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y2A74L2

The complicated part is the sleeping bag. I spent big bucks on mine because I wanted a zero degree down sleeping bag that packed small but wasn't a mummy bag. For your first kit, just look for something that packs small and is rated for 15 degrees less than what you'll think you'll encounter on your trip.

a double high air bed on top of a heavy duty cot? https://www.amazon.com/TETON-SPORTS-120A-Outfitter-Patented/dp/B01GLGRVU8/ref=asc_df_B01GLGRVU8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198072135009&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13900957673193773622&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009973&hvtargid=pla-317875325507&psc=1that's 19" add an airbed on top for additional height?

what's the benefit of going with reflectix? a z seat is only 11 on amazon and the generic version is $2.

unless you already have some sitting around, buying reflectix is more expensive that those options.

I'm an otter. And what do you do? Swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands.

The 4th expansion for cards against humanity! (:

Eagles Nest Outfitters Hammock that the two of you can use. Cheap, very easy to set up, and you get to be in nature!

https://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Folding-Waterproof-Chair-Cushion/dp/B00A8WMS3W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1521516967&sr=8-6&keywords=thermarest+sit+pad

Try one of these. Much smaller and lighter than s chair. And really makes those rocks comfortable.

What's in my personal Bug-out bag (BOB)?

I built my bag around 3 days of survival to get back to my 'shelter-in-place' if my vehicle or roads are inaccessible. Pro-tip: refill your gas tank at 1/2 empty

In my car, I always keep 1 case of WATER, extra glasses/sunglasses, a small sleeping bag, 3 days of food/snacks, WEATHER APPROPRIATE clothing/jacket/hat/gloves/shemagh/poncho and my hiking boots with 3pr of wool socks - I always carry 2xmulti-tool and 3-4xemergency power sources for my cellphone.

In the event that I abandon my car, I'll fill the Camelbak bladder in my BOB, bring a few extra water bottles (remember, your emergency rations require WATER), pack the food/snacks, emergency power, multi-tools, and ransack the car for any other gear; then, change into my weather appropriate hiking gear for travel.

In my BOB:
Small first aid kit, water purification tablets, sewing kit, 3x mylar survival blanket, 2xthermometer/compass/whistle combo, 1x100ft/1x25ft of 550 paracord, 4xflashlights (including headlamps with RED lenses (to protect your night vision), 2xmini-LED and high power LED CREE plus extra batteries), 2xspork, pot scrubber, ultralight cooking stove/2xfuel, tarp, bug spray, waterproof matches/striker and flint, personal hygiene gear (tootbrush/paste,hand sanitizer, camp soap, pack towel, toilet paper, cat hole shovel), physical map of your local CITY/STATE (dont rely on GPS or Internet), 22 p!st0l/suppress0r/50rds subsonic amm0, duct tape, assorted ZIP ties, 2x garbage bags, assorted ziploc baggies, folding saw, 4xbear bells.

(Notice the multiples on critical items because “Where there are two, there’s one. Where there’s one, there’s none.”)

Pro-tip: use the 25ft Paracord to suspend your BOB from a tree at night (hide your gear so it isnt stolen), then with 100ft, create a paracord 'security perimeter' approx 1ft off the ground with the bear bells as the alarm.... get a good night's rest because you'll need it.

What's missing from my BOB???

• a small solar/crank radio - find out what's happening
  
• pepper spray (non-violent problem solver)
  
• I've debated taking my night vision monocle so I can 'own the night' and move in darkness (to avoid detection and escape the heat)
  
• binoculars
  
• Lifestraw
  
• I'm considering a small hammock so I can sleep off the ground - http://www.amazon.com/Eagles-Nest-Outfitters-SingleNest-Charcoal/dp/B001DDWKB0/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1412354294&sr=1-3
  
• I used to pack my Ruger 10/22, but I dropped it to save weight.
  
  
  I intend to 'test my equipment load' this fall by camping 3 days/2nights.
  
  FYI - There are differing schools of thought on 'what color of bug-out bag' - my friends dont like Camo colored bags (too 'military-like' might draw unnecessary attention). I have a digital camo 3-day assault bag because I got it cheap.
  
  Thoughts and recommendations???

I'm looking at this one, people seem to really like this company

Do yourself a favor and grab one of these for blasting off.
Pro Mode: Mount it inside.

It compacts really small so it would be easy to ship, but do you mean how big it is when it's in use? This is the exact one he has

These things take a minute to set up and tear down, keep you dry and off the ground, and are super comfortable: http://www.amazon.com/Kamp-Rite-DTC443-Oversize-Tent-Cot/dp/B000I641UQ/

Much cheaper than the rental tent and you can set it up in a very small space next to your car. Only disadvantage is they're heavy as hell, but they're made for car camping so you aren't losing anything in this situation.

Amazon has a version for $12.38:
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Trunk-Ultralight-Camo-Hammock/dp/B001AIBJSI

Here is the base hammock. Unfortunately you have to buy the bug net and tarp separately, but they all compact so small that it barely takes up any space in my bag.

And here is the listing for the net

For training against those darn brits, this will help us with unarmed combat training. Once through with that training, we'll need something to help with the glare while we're outside. These glasses should do the trick - durable and don't fog. If we're forced away from our home for long periods of time, every soldier should have one of these hammocks in their backpacks to sleep in/on. We'll teach those brits that they'll never take our freedom!

I started out with this one. It is dirt cheap and does the job for hanging out but is too short and uncomfortable for sleeping in.
I then got a hammock from Dutch and it is so much better! You will need a suspension system anyway so why not just get everything at the same place...

If I had the 4th expansion then I have all the cards! (And will probably be going to hell because of the terrible things that are said while playing this game...)

My favorite game is... a Link to the Past!
