If we are in the same country, why not? I would unironically be interested in a reading and a discussion around a campfire. It's probably the closest we'll ever get to reading again.

Mods, you have just invisibilized my thread. You did invisibly fix a link in one of my posts tho, so we're even. There are free campgrounds with facilities, in the center of busy villages, close to the water and hiking and on public transport routes in my country. Is a /leftypol/ camping trip viable?

come on anon. Something like two hours travel to a serviced campsite for a night or two is barely camping, it's nowhere near commitment. There are bars near every campsite here.

Packing my stuff and getting on a bus to a campsite 2.5 hours west of the Kapitol, anons. When it's too hot, too cold or too wet we're just gonna stop hiking and barbequeing and go to the bar. It's a complicated plan, and untested, but it might work.

It was vacation country. There was a fast flowing river, a windy foamy lake, places to hike and swim safely, bars, places to get food, bike rental. It's such a cheap way to get out of your daily life for a couple of days. I brought food and there was a spot to camp for free so the only cost for me was a bus ticket and bar drinks. Everything got wet, it was great.

>How much gear do you bring for a weekend outing like that?
A large rucksack on the back and a slightly smaller one worn on the front has been great for me for carrying heavy loads short distances. All the stuff is cheap and heavy - 2 person tent, vinyl inflatable airbed, an actual pillow, sleeping bag and liner, a lot of socks and all kinds of shorts and thermals and light layers, boots + shoes + flip flops. Some of the other campers had some really interesting stuff, like a handmade extremely sharp tiny axe with a handmade leather belt holster.

Any tips on pacing? I'm going on a multi-day hike and I am afraid I will overdo myself on the first day and that will make the rest of the days torturous.

No bears. The only really technical/loose parts were scrambling down to stream beds to cross. This is probably the most popular backpacking route in Oregon and there have not been many reports of bears, so I slept with my food. I think the black bears prefer somewhat lower lands more since there is more to eat and more trees.

Angels rest, Oregon, 1500ft elevation gain, ~4 hours including sizable rest at peak. Trail was mostly loose rocks, but it was manageable. Really good hike, especially for the fact that you start from the literal base of the mountain, and end at the highest peak.

I haven't been hiking+camping for liek 4 years, I now live close to a super nice mountain chain, where I went to hike for a small hike the other day. I realize now i've been missing it so fucking much, I used to practically live like this lmao, it's really the only activity I actually fully enjoy.

I have a sawyer water filter that hasn't been used for a few years, should it still be safe for usage or would it be too risky? Also, if I would get a new one, are there some other generic brands that are just as good just less expensive? Shit feels way overprices (as usual with camping stuff).

I want to take more pictures though, still doubting whether i'll just use my phone or get a small camera. My phone camera sucks balls but i refuse to get another one.
