Where exactly are you going? Do you only need space for one person in the tent? No matter what, you will need a ground tarp to go under the tent (to keep you and your shit dry) and foam sleeping pad (to keep you warm) in addition to the other stuff.
We're going to be in the mountains, probably by a lake/resi. I imagine the elevation will be around 9000ish. We went camping two weeks ago at a site in Vail and I ended up freezing my ass off because I didn't have the right tent and sleeping bag. I imagine I'll only need space for one in the tent, but a sleeping bag that can accommodate two in a pinch is always a plus. I think the reason why I always freeze my ass off is because I don't have a foam pad. Its amazing how quickly the ground absorbs any body heat you give off.
If you are going to go hiking at all - get a Thermarest NeoAir. They take a little bit of extra time to inflate but are absolutely worth it for space/weight savings. For any sort of elevation I would personally go with an R value (how well it keeps warm) of 4.5 or more - which means the all season. That's what I have. Also, I would have had a stroke had I been anywhere near the scene in the vid Dixie posted. If it had been me, I would have died either immediately, or from struggling to tear that mans throat out. Forget he's a cop. I can't even talk type any more about it. I hugged my Rott mix puppy for 30 minutes after watching that. In other news: Camp more. I won't be camping this weekend but I am going to make it to Missouri. STL - my favorite US city here we come.
We had another military couple over here a few times for D&D along with other people. I really liked the couple. They are super nice and down to earth and we really got along. I just added the wife to facebook and was going to ask her what she was doing for the fourth. But...I spy little pony shit everywhere. What in the fuckity fuck.
You're looking to swing with them, but it's a deal breaker because she has a pony? Is that the right answer?
It's 4th of July in Afghanistan, and we're celebrating by firing more damned ordinance than I've ever seen. 500 120mm Illumination rounds, 250 60mm Illum rounds, more star clusters, parachute flares, and pen flares than I can count. All while Metallica is blaring over our intercom. Life is awesome.
If roleplaying a drunken warrior dwarf is wrong, then I don't wanna be right. In all fairness though, it was just me being drunk but whatever.
BREAK OUT THE 20-SIDED DICE AND MOUNTAIN DEW CODE RED THIS SHIT IS GETTIN REAL SON Also, if you want "So bad it's good", I have a list of four: Deadly Prey The Room..."You're TEARIN ME APART Lisa!!!" Birdemic: Shock and Terror And fourth and not least, thank you effinshenanigans: ...seriously, that's a fucking movie. Competitive Dance-Dance Revolution that results in death. Really. It's too awesome to even exist.
Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread 6/28 My buddy invited a work friend of his over to my place for beer and explosives tomorrow, the man declined because of a previous engagement, a Dungeon and Dragon party. The man is 36 years old...... and single
Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread 6/28 And obviously has no intent or desire to lose his virginity any time soon.
Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread 6/28 Jesus Christ, just wow. I had no idea people like that actually existed.
My ex fb (of sex swing and pee fame) wants to hook me up with his anal sex partner when she comes to Canada from Australia in the winter. I am intrigued.
