Tired (literally) of being a sidesleepercel and want to become a backsleepingchad so I can sleep for more than 3 hours before my shoulder/legs go numb and wake me up.

Anyone successfully done this?
Will my unconscious self betray me and flip over to my side regardless?
Should I just resign myself to the extra pound to carry a thicker sleeping pad?

The thing is sleeping flat on your back is actually horrible for your spine even with a pillow and any range of firm or hard mattresses

I'll be spending a week in Vermont this September or October.
Give me the best spots and trails to hit up, I will not be paying for a hotel. Thinking about hitting Green Mountain National Forest and Lake Willoughby at least, thinking about Smuggler's Notch and Mount Mansfield as well.

Rutland is a shithole but a cozy shithole if you live here
Bennington is meh
Burlington is a fucking travesty
its not super bad but compares to what it was like 20 years ago just gives me such a bad vibe I cant stand being there
Basically all towns in Vermont over 2000 population are either rich liberals that cater to tourists, or opiod shitholes

No offense, but rutland is just a shithole

Vermont has a lot of towns with sticks so far up their ass its unreal, and towns where theres no money from out of state.

Burlington is an absolute failure of govt
Rutland is the worst of the last 50 years of american development but all on one corridor cuz its in a valley.
I hate woodstock so much. So many cars from out of state crawling 9 miles an hour below the speed limit that need to just be put down. Stowe area and much of 100 corridor just out of state money and out of state fucktards that need to be put down.
Most of the rest of the state is largely just poor people trying to make it, but thank god we get to live here rather than anywhere else.

Coyote and squirrel hunting is legal all year round, so unless land is posted you can walk around anywhere during the day. Not at night. This is also a law of the land type thing; honestly i would try and avoid private property. You may think you are just innocent and shouldnt be bothered, but if I come across a person and a tent in my woods im gonna shut that shit down as effectively as I can.

App gap, vt 17, lincoln gap and 125 have more soul than the notch. Middlebury sucks.
Just stick to the national forest. Hit bars or breweries, hill farmstead will be good im sure but its stick up the ass territory. Dont idolize any of it.

Green river resevoir is good, willoughby is good, i like east of the greens more than the west generally and farther south more than farther north generally, but its a little hard to explain where the good shit is.

I worked all over the state doing solar shit for a few years.

what strange / spooky stuff have you seen?

once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me down
it was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it either
sounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!"
a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!"

No particular order: human traffickers, extremely aggressive moose, fresh abduction site where two teens were taken for presumably Molochite sacrifice, a bunch of city-slickers in my super-sekrit camping spot for an archery catalogue photo-shoot (fuckers), an erratically acting lone caribou that was not happy with us, the day where something followed us out of the mountains for about 150 miles (never saw it though, so doesn't really count), and once a set of record-breaking moose tracks followed by a set of record-breaking grizzly tracks followed by a set of record-breaking wolf tracks. That one was funny, I didn't follow them though.

No, I don't have any pressurized stoves, I've just seen other people make and use them. Personally, I'm sticking with gravity feed systems. Those just seem a lot safer to me.

>lived alone with few possessions not even a tent nor sleeping bag and without shoes for her feet or a coat for the cold Chilcotin winters. All she had was a stocking cap, black cotton stockings, moccasins, a skirt she made herself and a tattered men's sports coat which was given and one blanket! She did own a rifle, two old frying pans, a few pots, a knife, fork and spoon and a double-handled axe. She took, from her marriage, a share of the family cows and pastured them in wild meadows. In winter she fed them with hand cut hay from the grasslands. She did apparently have some horses, but they were unable to survive the harsh conditions she lived under.
To survive and feed herself she hunted moose and deer, snared squirrels and birds to roast over her fire. She caught fish, dug up wild potatoes and picked berries drying them for winter. She traded squirrel pelts for sugar, flour and tea at the Tatla Lake store and in 1959 her life go a little better when she got a small pension from the government which was held for her at the store.
She was an amazing woman in many ways, but what astounded people of that day was her ability to withstand the cold. People tell of watching her casually take off her moccasins in the middle of winter and dump the snow out before replacing them on her feet. In the deepest winters where the snow was many feet high and the temperatures would drop to -40 she could be seen huddled beneath a small tarpaulin beside her campfire. People who tried to take her in say that she did not like to be in the warmth and would retreat back outside finding comfort in the cold.

the west Chilcotin territory she lived in was rich with game in the summer, there was plenty of trade with the Bella Coola bands on the ocean only a few days journey west. The winters were and are still brutal out there, Puntzi Mountain to the east is often the coldest place in BC. There were all sorts of small scattered camps of a few families each all over the region even into the recent times, mostly ranching or running packing for hunters.

The old model of the woods A frame is on sale for a massive discount, likely due to this supposed updated model coming out soon.

Wildland fire fighters and others in that industry start most forest fires themselves. It's just logical. If You turn solving a problem into a career, you've guaranteed that the problem will never be solved, you've financially incentivized the promotion and exacerbation of the problem. You're asking someone, who has a mortgage or rent payment and bills to pay and mouths to feed, to work themselves out of a job. Guess what they're absolutely not going to do? Solve the problem and be unemployed as a result is not on their to-do list, I promise.

>>
>>2806319
I fucking hate jews but this is such an ignorant hippie tree hugger take. You want an actual environmentally beneficial take on it? Trees are carbon based, they survive off of CO2, they pull co2 out of the atmosphere and lock it up tightly inside the wood. Forests that aren't responsibly managed burn. That's just nature. Pinecone's are literally engineered to jettison their seeds when exposed to the heat of a forest fire. The natural cycle in a world devoid of human influence is designed to cycle between forest growth and then fire cleansing. Letting these trees burn releases all that carbon in the wood back into the atmosphere. Logging companies have a capitalists financial motivation to responsibly manage the forest, clean the forest floor and prevent fires. Responsible Logging also has the cleansing benefits as forest fires, but instead of releasing the carbon back to the atmosphere, it stays locked up in the lumber that gets turned into homes and buildings where it stays locked up for hundreds of years or until the building get destroyed and thrown into a landfill where it gets buried underground FOREVER. Sustainable Logging is better for the environment than smoking weed and chaining yourself to trees while shouting at loggers like a worthless useless dirty hippie.

On YT, you click on one of them and you get recommended several others. They all appear to be using the same inflatable camping gear from China, many thousands of dollar+ tents made for 12+ people by themselves, they all have Jeeps instead of domestic vehicles, and they all appear to be models wearing heavy makeup.

Kirin Camp
UNI Camp
I'm sure there are plenty more. Are all of these Instagram-based "camping" channels becoming a trend? Are they all managed by a modeling agency? Why do they all use $15,000 worth of camping gear to spend the night in the snow? Anyone have any experience with these?

Most of the YouTube "camping" channels are ass, sponsored bullshit designed to sell cheap Chinese camping gear off Amazon. A guy goes into the woods for a singel night and doesn't do fuck all in the woods besides eat dinner and breakfast.
All the gear is Nature hike or Pomoly and it all came from Amazon. Im convinced these guys are sponsored, that or they're just smarter than me and YouTube pays them enough to justify buying the amount of Chinese garbage that they have in their videos. And the one staring a female camper are almost always an onlyfans promotion While also promoting nature hike and pomoly knockoffs of name brand products. It's unfortunate, there's a reason outdoorboys is successful, it's literally the only channel where they go out for more than a day and actually do something besides eat and sleep while they're out there.

Not going to happen.
Anyone who buys these canvas car-camping tent tries to sell them on FB marketplace for the same as what they got them too. They cost $800 and up.
You might as well buy a van and camp in it. You'll need a vehicle to move a canvas tent anyways.
