  • Quote from WanderingStovie: “Quote from Wise Old Owl: “I am looking into this and discovering there are many versions of VBL that have been adopted such as the Thermarest with Foil on one side. 279bf478-4399-4012-94b6-2aa44f81f8ee ” The metalized surface is not a vapor barrier, since the Ridgerest is made of closed cell foam, which would block liquid water and vapor anyway. ” Well I am enamored with the reflectix when applied to a closed air-cell foam. Air is a excellent heat barrier when held i…

  • Quote from SandyofPA: “I have seam sealed and tried sleeping naked in my Fuzzy Stuff coat I made. It was comfortable for sleeping indoors, and I needed way less covers. I feel this stuff will work in many temperatures not just freezing as explained on the Stephenson Warmlite website.

  • The Washington Memorial Chapel was built as a tribute to General George Washington and the patriot soldiers of Valley Forge. The inspiration for the Chapel resulted from a sermon preached by our founder and first rector, the Rev. Dr. W. Herbert Burk, of Norristown, Pennsylvania. In June 1903 the cornerstone was laid on private property donated by the I. Heston Todd family. A small framed building preceded the present structure which became known as the Theodore Roosevelt Chapel, in honor of Pres…

  • We went on our "Dora Adventure" & short walk and visited George Washington's Chapel on Sunday. I was educating Ashley about the church, quietly after service. She asked to go up to the Alter which was "off limits" due to the delicate wood carvings. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…9c4731059cb52d4e8c810e86b Because of how big the church is I didn't see one of the priests was sitting at the back, and he offered to give Ashley a "tour" of the alter. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…9c4731059cb52d4e8c81…

  • Quote from Dan76: “Did a lot of primitive camping in past months. Will continue to do so next spring. BLM administered land is plentiful in Utah. ” Got PIC"S?

  • This video is also Dispersed Camping in Quebec. I love the Bush Buddy and how they do their bacon and oatmeal. Notice the shelf and tarp system. This becomes a "super Shelter" thick mylar reflextix and a clear plastic sheet to trap warmed air from the fire. youtube.com/watch?v=c2uJ0YC32GM

    I Really like how the light gets the eyes to glow!

  • Solid good ideas for the first half of the video, the second is about sleeping gear to keep you warm all night. I think if you have a cup of hot water such a tea just before bed that works until you get up 1/2 way in the night. youtube.com/watch?v=seqBY9VM1bs I think the following video behind this is "Winter Camping 3 days in Quebec" with polk!

  • Quote from Dan76: “Quote from Wise Old Owl: “living the dream! youtube.com/watch?v=FC3GVFL41do What is your dream? ” While I understand the need for transport to the trailhead and certainly appreciate the MT bike concept, the idea of taking one' s shelter on wheels complete with a mobile grid (generator) into the woods escapes me. ” Well it has a lot to do with the way we learned to camp as kids. I was exposed to several different methods, My dad had backpacking tents, a pop up Starcraft and lat…

  • I guess me making a point is there is a ton of junk out there that you would not haul up a cliff, if you knew better. This took me a long time to realize what we are imparting on our kids is either outdated or flat out wrong. Yes you can make a survival tin or prescription bottle of little things in a pinch. Would you know how to use it? Well that is up to us individually. The first person to rescue you is not 911 or a cell phone, it is you. Something that got me into a little bit of trouble whe…

  • Quote from SarcasmTheElf: “This horrific bit of Native Advertising/camping tips showed up in my Facebook feed recently... buzzfeed.com/h2/fbac/bacardioa…erm=.keWWjWRnz#.kuBmkmJPG Oddly enough, while the advice on the page is worthless, the "click here for more info" link directs to Andrew Skurka's site, so whoever made the page must have had some clue. ” They have your email address and are now using mind control to make you wear the latest Jeans and hang out with bears.
