Doing a camping trip in the next month or so and have been roped in as the camp cook. It's a three day trip, what would be good foods to bring given we're going to be camping out on public land in the western US? Was thinking eggs and corn beef hash for breakfast, something light for lunch, but drawing a blank on dinners. It'll be a three day trip, so will need foods that will stay well in a cooler. Have a double propane burner, and a single butane one.
>>2717536>chili>irish stew>bratwurst>steaks>bacon and eggs>potatoes and onions>a couple lemons, butter, black pepper for any fish you catch>peanuts in the shell>chips/crackers>bread/tortillas/buns>coffee, milk, and sugarDon't forget you are responsible for all the pots and pans, too>wash basin and soap, washcloth, drying rack>spare utensils, plates, and cups
Not OP but didn't want to make a new thread. How do you guys like cooking over fire? You carry cast iron and go right onto the fire or do you pack a grill or titanium stove with lighter cookware?
>group of people going camping>ask the guy with zero knowledge and no experience to cook for everyoneThis should be good. Keep us posted.
>have access to a fridge, multi-burner stove and a selection of pots and pansThat's not /out/ cooking that's just cooking. You can bring and cook anything you'd make at home.>>>/ck/
>>2720609Have limited experience cooking while camping, but a lot of experience cooking.
Seriously why tf are people like this on the LT and AT. I tell people my legitimate name and they always surprised when it’s my real name.

I need a lightweight chair and the internet is telling me either the REI chair, the Helinox Zero or the Nemo Moonlight Elite Does anyone have any experiences with these? Which should I get, I want to grab something soon I'm not very big so I considered the REI chair, but I see people complaining about stability Are they just fat? I'm a regular manlet, would the REI chair be alright?
let me guess, you "need" more?
>>2716818>I need a lightweight chairCrazy Creek. Simple. Light. highly functionalhttps://crazycreek.com/
I highly recommend sitting in whatever chair you want to buy before buying it. I ordered a Travel Chair Joey (about $60 a couple years ago) because so many reviews said it's great for big people. Well, I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs so I figured it would be good. Hell no. It's like trying to sit on a 6" ledge, my ass just slides forward. The thing is light as a feather and pretty stable, I'll give it that. I've sat in chairs at REI that actually were very comfy but expensive, can't remember which ones though.
>>2716818The Nemo Moonlite Elite is great, but way too expensive. The groundpad is an excellent touch though. The REI Flexlite Air is pretty good, but it squeezes your ass a little. The Helinox Chair zero is more comfortable than the REI chair, but more expensive.Personally, I'd go with the REI chair. You can always return it and go for one of the other ones if you want. >>2719515This probably weighs 3lbs and will break instantly>>2719564The point of a chair is to get you off of the ground. If I wanted a sit pad, I'd buy a sit pad. Save the crazy creeks for the canoes
>>2720850>This probably weighs 3lbs and will break instantlyit's 2lbs and very sturdy, to my surprise. I can lean right back in it.it's also a tenth of the price of the chairs OP listed.

what's the "smartest" way to do something like this? i want a thing which is mobile and contains the shit i need to survive. so, like an RV or a converted van or a trailer or whatever. the idea of having a dedicated sprinter van that you can live in is neat, but that's another vehicle you're paying for insurance etc.

>>2718094He definitely a goofy
>>2710349i don't know what it is but literally i had the most lucky with the ladies at the lowest points in my life (no job, no money, at one point living in my car, etc.) and as soon as my life turned around it's been a dry periodgranted i'm a lot more careful when it comes to devoting myself to a woman these days and i personally feel like relationships i don't see myself marrying them are a waste of time so that could be it

Stealth minivan is the way to go.These days you can get legitimate batteries straight from Amazon and run anything you want.With battery isolators, solar panel, and an electric driven a/c compressor ($1000 installed by mechanic) you can have climate control and infotainment system running with the car off.I’d recommend 100% tint on the back windows and a rear view mirror cam.You can get a diesel heater for the winter too.3 gallon water jugs with a usb pump for fresh water and another to catch grey water.Get a 12v cooler and just run it all the time off the house batteries.Use an iPad as a tv/gaming system, bring a laptop too.You can run a 1200w k-cup off of the house battery for single cups of coffee/hot water. You can get a 300w hot plate for reheating sausages or egg bites. You can get a usb-c powered ninja blender.3 x $100 pieces of sanded plywood for cabinets and a $100 “trucker” mattress.Basically an $8k minivan, $1k a/c compressor, $2k battery and $1k of Amazon plug and play type stuff, plus bring your own devices. Remove all the seats, build cabinets and bed platform to fit. Add a shitty little hideaway rv toilet and technically you have a full legal rv conversion which means insurance is like $25 per month.
Dudes I went to high school with now have house, wife kids truck dirt bikes side x sides and fuckhuge camper trailersI'm fucking disgruntled
>>2720564Everywhere on the Wasatch front north of St. George. And the area between Price and the north border are grassland and not desert. Similar climate to central/Western Kansas depending where you're at.
>>2720569Yes a lot of it looks beautiful but I'm assuming the Sun there is still a little too spicy for me.
>>2720583The sun is basically Colorado sun. The prices unfortunately are also Colorado prices. I bought my first house for 260 in 2016 it was 180 five years before that, I sold at 450 in 2023. Prices have wholesale skyrocketed and it's getting unreasonable.
>>2673535I'm not sure how you can have gainful employment and not do all those things, from my experience the only way to have opportunities is through other people giving you knowledge or connections, I would know because I have no job and do none of those things except I live with my mother who I hate, maybe I'm just a bit tarded, I'll probably be in prison or a mental institution in 3-6 years from now.
>>2720591Thanks anon. Middle of nowhere Kansas it is then.
A week after I spent the weekend at a state park, I had the urge to go out for a walk a short trail since the weather was nice. I live in a metropolitan area, so the option for any decent trails are sparse and the ones we do have usually barely qualify as one. But I didn't want to drive nearly an hour to my nearest nature preserve, so I sucked it up and decided to try a local city park.The entire time walking, I had mixed feelings. As a kid, I loved public parks for what they were. But now as an adult who wanted to go for a walk and escape into nature, I felt a bit frustrated. At no point was I not within a few hundred feet of a building. While it was nice to see the community gather together outside, it felt so crowded and it didn't help that a family was blasting music at a kid's birthday party. In the end, the only thing I felt like I took away from the entire experience was that I had long stretch of road that I was able to walk, but even then it wasn't ideal as I had to stop to cross roads at lights and crossing.The harsh reality is that for most people though, this is all they know and in a way all they really need. Even becoming the slightest of /out/ is like a curse, especially as a yuppie, as you realize that you're trapped within a concrete jungle and essentially stuck there. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to leave the city, but this alone is enough to make me jealous of those who live far away from them.What's your opinion on public parks? Do you have any suggestions for me for "feeling /out/" in the suburbs?
OP went to a park and got upset that the park was a park and that other people were in the park just like him
>>2720585Those urban/suburban parks should be an option of last resort, for quick workweek outings and for busier weekends when you can't make it out to the rural counties for proper /out/ experiences.
>>2720593>>2720702Yeah, "last resort" is right. The feeling was kind of spontaneous at the time but, but now that I know what I'm in for on a day like that, I'll probably make the trip out to somewhere a little more remote next time>>2720677It's less that, and more that I wish public parks were better or offered more of the nature aspect. I did appreciate people actually being there and being outside, but it felt crowded. If there were more options for walkways and trails, and parks were designed to intentionally disperse people over a wide area, maybe this would be less of an issue. Plus there aren't any regulations of things like noise pollution, so having to hear the music a family was blasting from across the pond was annoying when I just wanted some peace and quiet
>>2720585Bro you talk like a fag and your shits all retarded
>>2720585Urban parks are pleb tier. Go to a cemetery, it's a park that only you'll be in
do you bring your guitar when backpacking, /out/?

I want to pick up a native american flute and jam out in my lonesomes
Got bored on a stormy day on a steep bush clad mountainside once and started making up Native American sounding chants with my dad. Real fun desu, we were pretty stoned though.
real backwoods /out/ motherfuckers play the spoons and chant negro folk songs. the type of music than can only be appreciated after 36 hours in the sun and also while drunk.
>>2720788Wildly american post
What's up with Krauts, specially boomers, and their kitted out rigs?I'm in southern Europe and every time I go to the beach, no matter the time of the year, there's always many, many hundred thousand €€€ traveling/camping rigs there and 90% of the time they have German plates.As I post this there are a couple 100K vans, mercs sprinters I think, fully prepared for world travel and parked on a gravel road right up to the beach.
>>2719828I kid you not, sometimes I think about starting an export business for cars.I can hook you up with some reasonable priced older bmw as well.
I thought only Americans did this?>>2719828Trust me, you do not want anything Mercedes. Due to US fuel regulations, it causes their motors to be unreliable and break. They used to sell these cars here, I think they still sell the Sprinter, but there was so much outrage at the repair shops against their brand that Mercedes said fuck it and stopped importing. American "diesel" is not the same diesel that these cars are actually designed for. You're better off with a gas engine Chevy Express 3500 or Pro master. I know they don't look as tacticool, but it is what it is.

>>2690369It's just very humid and smells like an old cellar. I don't see anything interesting about it, going down there and avoiding the tourists and finding a safe space is a huge hassle. These days most areas probably have security cameras too.
say hello to the demi-humans for me
starting this because i don't want to clutter the catalog with my dumb ass question. i am trying to plan an /out/ing, 4-day weekend type deal. i would ask my best friend who i usually camp with for advice but he's deployed. i'm planning on getting a tent, foam pad, sleeping bag, and solar phone charger. i already own clothes, lighter, water bottle, plenty of packed food, and a mora companion (it was on sale for like $14 and i like to get plant and mushroom cuttings) and flashlight. do i need anything else, or is it all just consumerist memes? forgive me if i forgot anything super crucial, i'm retarded (89 IQ). i don't plan on making fire. i just want to hike and sleep. it's a normie campground so i don't need water purifiers, i think. it'll be in southeast oklahoma, sunny and hitting 60F at night. good weather to not go missing? thanks in advance! :)
>>2720281try to find a lock that has a mesh cut-proof fabric on the outside. don't have a link, but my buddy showed me his and all his family's bikes have been stolen except his. his lock has a bunch of marks on it from where people would try to cut the mesh and it just wouldn't give. im no expert though, wait for someone who knows what they're talking about to reply b4 u buy
>>2720281I've had the same kryptonite evolution U bike lock the past 15 years, 10 of which I was bike commuting and locking my bike up in public, downtown almost every day. I live in a city and never had my bike stolen. Make sure to lock through the front wheel.
>>2720198>End up sleeping in wet gear nonmatter whatI live where it rains allot--this isn't true at all.>>2720192Get a freestanding tent that has mostly external clips. I can have my tent up with the tarp on in less than 4 minutes and my pack has a pack cover. I've never gone to bed wet.You also want to "read the storm." If you can (which is more common than not) you can wait for the lull in the rain and set up then.
>>2720281I wouldn't overthink it, any U lock is going to be pretty hard to cut without huge, heavy duty bolt cutters, if you need more flexibility and range for whatever you're chaining up to then get a metal chain made out of marine grade stainless steel and a big, tough padlock.Like this guy says >>2720471 kryptonite is a good brand but if you can find a cheaper U lock at a hardware store or online then get that.
>>2720192Another option is a 'fly-first' tent. They tend to be not free-standing trekking pole tent. There's also always tarping as an option.

Have you ever masturbate in the forest??When I have so much time for myself, I often have wild fantasies about raping some inocent hiker or shit like that. Then I relive myself behind a bush, cum on the floor and clean myself with a leave. Is literally the times I get more horny ever
