I miss Mad Magazine.

Mad and Cracked were my rags. It really does explain a lot with why I am the way I am.

Cartoons too.

It was an easy peel. Unlike some of the tags the resale shops around here use. I think they do it out of spite.

It all depends on how heavy you wanna pack and how you plan on getting to your camp site though. An air mattress is bulky and heavy, so I wouldn't wanna throw one in a backpack and trek out on foot. The last couple two three times I've gone camping I got there by vehicle.

I'm not planning to start out backpacking but I'm definitely interested in it, so any gear I pick up I'd rather be good for that.

Pack light, carry essentials. Godspeed.

Yeah my new sleeping bag doesn't feel particularly light but I'm a bigger dude so I need a bigger bag and I and a tosser and a turner so I'm not wild about mummy bags so I guess I have to live with a little extra weight for that.

I carried an extreme weather bag and a **** ton of accessories since I was 60 cal support in the Army and I'm a little under 6' and 200 lbs. You'll be aiight. Where you trekkin? Virginia area?

The Batlord 09-28-2022 09:19 PM

Yeah. General area of Virginia Beach. Would love to get out to the mountains in the western part of the state if I can get like a week off. I know we got Shenandoah National Park out there and it would probably be way better than a week-long staycation playing video games.

just seeing someone in a mummy bag gives me anxiety. how can people live like that. speaking of mattresses, in my experience the self-inflating ones are often lighter and don't need to pump. They work quite well, especially if you blow them up a bit extra

I would absolutely get out to that if I lived out that way.
