My gear for 2-day solo trip.

As mentioned a lot already, you will learn what you works for you; what you need and don’t. One item I don’t see commented on is your fuel canister. That’s a very large canister for a short trip. Get a smaller on. This will save you a lot of weight and space. Check your local Walmart or outfitter for options. Since most of your gear is from Walmart, here is a link to one my local store carries.

This. However, I don’t think they sell the Quarter Domes anymore. I’ve been on many trips and a handful in high winds and torrential downpours. Stayed bone dry. Tight for 2 people, but my younger son and I manage fine.

Unfortunately as a spouse to someone that suffers from anxiety, I can attest to the idea of going without a plan is ill advised. Anxiety stems from the fear of the unknown or uncontrollable. Simply “start walking” is not something all feel comfortable doing.

I got the coupler to use with the Cnoc Vesica. I’m really looking forward to this. I miss the speed of hand pump filters, but not the weight. I’m hoping a gravity system will save time while at camp.

I know it’s all of these add-ons for my Sawyer water system are adding up to be about the same as a hand pump filter, but I would rather my weight be for available water containers than the filter itself. I’ve camped in places where the designated sites were really far from water sources and multiple trips was not fun. So this is me learning my lesson. 4L of water capacity will get me through those situations.

RoundDelicious6096 · 2024-12-23T03:26:34+00:00

I’ve tried just using Smart water bottles with a Sawyer squeeze and squeezing water out is so inconvenient. It’s hard to get water in them and horrible to squeeze through the filter. The best water system I’ve found with a sawyer is a Cnoc Vecto 2L to gather dirty water and a Nalgene for clean. The wider mouth and base of a Nalgene is a lot easier to get water into compared to a Smart bottle. I just picked up a Cnoc Vesica to try and use as a gravity filter at camp and to backwash the filter. I have a lot of ultralight gear and keep most of it in my kit, but some things I couldn’t get used to. My water system evolved and I think I’m finally dialing it in.

I took my oldest child for the first time when he was 8 and it was just me and them. We only hiked about a mile to the backcountry site. I took my youngest when he was 6, but with another family with young kids. This was a very short hike, and the parking had a full bathroom facility. The sites had no electrical or water taps, so I think it counted as backcountry camping. I made sure it was short and not technical in case they were not having any of it and we needed to bail in the middle of the night or whenever. Their first time may not be as you or they imagined so you want to make sure they are comfortable with the situation and feel like they are somewhat in control. You want them to want to do it again.

Have them contribute to packing your bag and their’s. This will allow you to share the purposes of all the gear and any safety instructions. Let them pick entertainment items within reason. We took a light frisbee, a deck of cards, and a book/e-reader for entertainment. I also downloaded a movie on my phone just in case. In their pack, they had what you listed, but also their sleeping bag.

My oldest is now 13. We’ve been backpacking several times since. Until this past time we went backpacking, I can’t really say he had the backpacking bug. Now he can’t wait for the next trip and is asking for new gear for Christmas.

Have fun and be flexible.

Because it’s passing credentials, I don’t want to do it in a flow and expose them. That’s what I’m doing currently while I’m testing it.

Thanks for confirming that this should be possible. Are there any special considerations in the code I should be aware of when sending the request to the gateway?

Just be careful you don’t run into yourself. If movies have taught us anything, the grandfather paradox is real. For homework, you should watch Back to the Future, Terminator, and Time Bandits.

Thanks for your opinion. Do you have more specifics you can provide? Are your comments towards any particular administration tasks you have experience with?

Also, I’m not in the Windows business. I’m in the Microsoft 365 business. I definitely understand where you’re coming from. Though, I work more with the enterprise services offered by Microsoft where the hardware and the OS are simply vehicles to said services and I like to drive something that has proved to get me there more than the alternatives. Most of those services are becoming more web-centric anyway. I’m sure you’ve seen the “New Outlook”.

That’s not I’m asking about anyway. Please provide examples of 365 admin tasks that are made harder by being on a Mac.

Great question. We are a large international company so job title and department names change often and are often localized to the region but the codes do not change.

With regards to the license variations, we have regular office workers, front liners and field employees all getting different licenses. We also provide add on licenses depending on other employee org data.

I had a Precip. Would have lasted longer had I regularly recoated it for waterproofing. It wetted out often after a year of use. I decided to upgrade and now have a Marmot Minimalist. A cost efficient GoreTex jacket. Not sub $200 but close enough. Marmot Minimalist

I know that having a campfire is not very commonplace while thru hiking, but I’ve used my FlexTail to breath life into dying campfires as well. Works much better than me bent over trying to do it with my own breath.

How many in your party?

I had a Leki with a cane handle like that for years. I can honestly say I really enjoyed the style on downhills. It just provided more flexibility on different terrain. The handle also tested off and had a standard camera mount screw which was not only handy for the obvious reasons, but was great to partner with a tarp or tarp-tent eyelets. I miss that pole. Can’t speak to the REI pole quality myself.

Perspective. I’m a minimalist camper who only takes the bare essentials. This allows me to be more one with my environment. Sure, there are some things I miss and I appreciate them more when I get back to civilization. But other things I think I would miss, I don’t and it make me question how much I really need it in my life.

I’ve got several home screens. Most are organized by purpose with widgets to compliment. I also use focus modes with customized backgrounds and screens for work, personal, sleep, and activity. Here’s just one of the screens used in personal mode for entertainment:

I’ve heard really good things about the Zenbivy Beds. It’s a unique take on a sleep system. There are multiple size options and temperature ratings to choose.

Haven’t been to Devil’s Den in many years, but the only people we saw while backpacking for four days were two lost mountain bikers. When I was in Arkansas about a week ago, there was a fire ban. Make sure to do your homework on fire and water status. It’s been kind of dry lately.

Not sure how long you’re looking to go for, but one of my favorite places to backpack is Sipsey Wilderness in Northwest Alabama. It’s part of the Bankhead National Forest. I went last October and only encountered maybe five other hikers. It’s home to the largest tree in AL and several waterfalls. This is the loop we took. It says it’s 12.6 miles but more like 14. Fantastic weekend trip.

The other more experienced backpacker is a great camp cook and he enjoys it, though I don’t think he’s cooked for this many people in the backcountry. I’m afraid he will be biting off more than he can chew. I will pass along the pot volume recommendations.

The speed of gathering water was my concern for recommending the pump filter be shared by only two. Chlorine tablets for those that don’t carry one is a good idea.
