    I need to go camping

    Pine Valley Utah this weekend. Side note - love the ranger's offices I've talked to when planning my various camping trips. They're a repository of information and open up once they get the impression you know what the hell you're talking about.

    "Fitness" Group of 44 rescued from Superstition Wilderness

    IIRC, most states have a gross negligence standard (conscious and voluntary disregard of the danger) for billing - you have to be grossly negligent to be billed for the cost of a rescue. Connecticut has a negligence standard, which means you're almost likely to get a bill from the state. But a...

    The Official Camping / Backpacking / Bikecamping / Kayaking Gear Thread

    Depends on what. Sleeping bags, pads, and tents I buy new - especially cold weather bags (must be EN rated). Wait for sales at REI or from the manufacturer. REI, Big Agnes, MSR, Nemo, etc., but you can also get bags and pads new from some discount sites I list below. Backpacks - you have to...

    I need to go camping

    Yeah, it would be dispersed and at least several miles down a craptastic forest road. Weeds the weenies out.

    The Official Camping / Backpacking / Bikecamping / Kayaking Gear Thread

    My backpacking gear list: Gregory Baltoro 65L (I also have an REI frameless 45L that I use on shorter trips) Marmot Trestles 15F Long Bag (depending on weather - you can go with lighter summer bags, a bag liner, or even a light sheet - but I probably should switch to a quilt system) Trekology...

    I have a complete gear list I use as a checklist before going out. If you want it, I'll shoot it over to you.

    A bic and a reliable flint. Check for fire restrictions before heading out.

    First aid kit. A very basic one. Band aids, wipes, moleskin, chafe cream, Tylenol and Advil, and a few other minor things to help you get off the trail and back to civilization if need be. Nothing is good! Nothing is light.

    Good point. Trailhead clothes and lightweight camp shoes.

    Backpacking thread

    Yes. I try to backpack when I can, but I find that the lack of water sources in Southern Nevada mean that I'm carrying a lot of weight on my back. And I just don't currently have the time to do a 6 hour drive someplace and then take 3-5 days backpacking (although, West Clear Creek is kinda...

    Bikepacking

    First aid kit. Don’t buy one off the shelf; you need very little and can assemble a lightweight one yourself. Mostly a few band aids, some Tylenol, antiseptic wipes, maybe a bit of gauze. You can get a full list online, although I find those lists to be too much and you can generally pair things...

    Bikepacking

    Drawing off of my backpacking experiences and just being exposed to some bikepacking in general: Depending on temperatures, you may need an underquilt for your hammock. You can get by with a lightweight backpacking tarp and cordage for a fly. Make sure your hammock has a bug net. As for a...

    Guns

    No personal experience with that pistol. I use XD 9s. That being said, first, I would try to go to a local gun range and see how the pistol feels (at least here in Vegas, we have several places where we can rent firearms for range shooting). If you like it, then buy it. I echo other's...
