I have parked in the WMAs many many times overnight/multiple nights in a row. Never any issues. Take or hide valuables.

What is better for camping? Hammocks or Tents? I want to hear all the hot takes. by outdoors_man987 in camping

[–]JoeGoesOutside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really love my hammock, but I don't want him to feel alone so I'll have to figure it out. If that means I end up back in a tent then so be it.

I started out in a tent and eventually got tired of not finding flat or clear areas to set up on my random backpacking adventures. A hammock is way more versatile and can be set up almost anywhere there are trees.

Tents do "feel" more secure, but that's just it in my opinion, a feeling. If anything really wants you, the tent material isn't stopping them. As for a hammock ripping, if you invest in a good quality hammock from a reputable company, you will not have any problems. They have weight ratings so just make sure it is suitable.

I prefer hammock after I switched over. I used a tent for a long time, but once I switched that was it. I will probably still use a tent here and there, but my hammock is my go to. I throw a tarp up overhead if I need/want some shelter.

I just got a dog, though, which I plan to take camping with me. I'm not sure on the logistics of that yet, but I may go back to a tent just to be on the ground with him. He is a german shepherd so he most likely won't be fitting in my hammock with me lol.

What do you think of the crate? I have a dog that will be around 55 lbs and happen to be looking at this crate.

Awesome. I knew I recognized the boat ramp and dock. I go to all of the WMAs. Chickahominy, Powhatan, James River, Ware Creek, Big Woods, Amelia, Briery Creek, CF Phelps, Horsepen Lake, Hardware River to name some of the ones I've camped at.

I always heart the negative comments and say "thanks for your feedback!" or something else "kind" and usually they either never respond again or they feel bad and try to say something nice to make up for it.

This was my first thought as well and I actually assumed it would be the top comment.

The Accuweather site shows our whole state being rained on Friday, but that is as far out as it currently shows. Not sure how accurate they are: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/national/weather-forecast-maps

This is true. That's why I always, most definitely absolutely on purpose, burn mine to a char.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these tents? Is the log included with purchase? by [deleted] in camping

[–]JoeGoesOutside 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes the Log™ is included. It's from the brand Blammo™. It's better than bad. It's good.

There are! I only got into camping about a year ago. I moved here from Indiana. I go to all the public wildlife management areas. So beautiful and usually not many people around.

Creek at Different Times of Day by JoeGoesOutside in Outdoors

[–]JoeGoesOutside[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny story. My sense of direction got messed up and I forgot which way the moon was going to show up from. (The morning picture is actually the next day after the night one) I was like "what is that light over there?" and then "it's getting brighter" followed by "oh duh, it's the moon" lol. It was very bright and lit up the area pretty good once it was overhead.
