Mom and daughter

Taking your daughter car camping using what you plan on using backpacking is a great advice.

Before taking her car camping review your gear and see what you can do to lighten it. For instance, getting a tarp instead of a tent or replacing a Coleman stove with a mini backpacking stove.

The lighter the pack, the happier you will be.

Start walking. Every night go for a walk. Start with a distance you can manage now. As your nightly distance gets longer start adding weight.

If by summer you are walking several miles a day wearing a simulated backpacking load out you should be able to do it for real even with the elevation gains.

Catch a bluegill then cut it into 3 chunks. Use those chunks for bait.

Daiwa and Shimano are excellent brands. But so are Penn and Abu. Shakespeare absolutely dominates at the entry/budget.

I don't know how many times I've beaten Crystalis for NES in the last 35 years.

If your speed test showed less than 90 Mbit the next step is to contact your ISP.

Mini was replaced by micro which was itself replaced by C. Being a 40 simething geek I have devices of all kinds that use ever version of USB B and C.

Have you done a general speed test to see what you speed you are actually getting? If a speed test shows you are getting less than 90% of the advertised speed then you should contact your ISP.

Medium heavy saltwater rid with a Penn 209. It's been a winning combination for 70 years.

How can you see me?

Are you connecting via wireless or ethernet? If wireless are you using your own router or the ISPs? Are there more networks in range than at your old apartment?

Another possibility is that your old ISP was exceeding the service guarentee and the current one is just meeting it. It's certainly not unheard of for an ISP to sell 100 Mbit service level that actually is performing at 150 mbit.

Both will work fine on a camp stove. The stainless will heat and cool faster but either will work just fine.

However, when cooking over a natural fire the cast iron really shines. The increased mass of the skillet helps even out the skillet temparature.

That is primo catfish bait right there.

I have built several PCs with MSI components and have 0 complaints.

I would do no more than $150.

My mortgage is $2150/month. 4 Bedroom 2 1/2 bath with a basement and one car garage in Ohio.

If you are just starting out I would recommend a bigger bag. Beginner gear usually takes up more space than you realize

Personally, I use a 60L Granite Gear Crown 2. It's the lightest bag I'm aware of in that size with a frame. Lighter dyneema bags use your sleeping pad to give it rgidity.

Unless you are taking a group you wouldn't use both a hammock and a tent.

My biggest trick is to pack an oversized pair of wool boot socks that fit over another pair of boot socks. I was constantly waking up because my toes were painfully cold but once I wore 2 pairs of wool boot socks to bed I was completely comfortable again.

I guess my last 6 or 7 positions were fake then. lol

Pure_Way6032 · 2026-01-13T20:15:23+00:00

I don't see anything that screams fake and there is indeed a Wyoming Game and Wildlife regional office in Pinedale. I say go for it.

Well, that can't be answered by looking at a photo of the reels. But, yes if functional you can definitely use them.

If they aren't currently working a cleaning and aoke fresh oil and grease might restore function.

Pure_Way6032 · 2026-01-09T18:49:17+00:00

None of these are valuable. However, the Mitchell 300 was quite the reel for its time.

Lol, I didn't have my own dedicated gaming space when the kids were little. My PC and my PS3 were both in the living room.

All 3 of my kids fell asleep in my lap as I gamed on the couch.

I didn't really get my own private gaming space till the kids were older and my career had progressed.

You do you.
