Thread: Camping

That sounds like a cold campout, deepweeds. It stops being fun for me when the temp gets below 10F.

Great thread, I love to see camping pics and different set ups...

I was born in Canada so grew up appreciating the out of doors lifestyle, problem is I moved to the UK at 23 and still live here. Not bad news but not as great for having space and freedom to enjoy camping in the same style.

My mission has been to get out at least once a month but sometimes manage 8 weekends in a row now my lad is getting older. We vary the set ups depending on what we want to do. The easiest thing has been renting woodland with friends so we have the opportunity to use chainsaws to manage the land and cook on open fires and shoot for the pot.









Luckily I do some work doing traditional firelighting demos and survival skills and general bushcraft so I have a lot of dirt time. Great idea for a thread, I do hope people post up more pictures so I can see your playgrounds and be jealous of all that land you have to spend quality time in! Keep em coming guys

Wow. What's in the Dutch oven, Sasquatch?

I like seeing other peoples setups and camping areas too. I kinda dabble in Bushcrafting but am not really hardcore about it.

Plenty of this



But on that occasion it was lamb stew as I was in South Wales with a couple mates, it's a typical Welsh thing;

Brown the lamb



Sweat some onions and garlic



Add veg, rosemary and fresh mint and season to taste



Drink some Brains Skull Splitter (a local tipple) and put feet up



Voila! Tastes far better than it looks...



Goes even better with some fresh Dutchie bread



Even better washed down with cowboy coffee and more Brains

The exact recipe can be shared on request if anyone is into that sort of thing. I'll refrain from future photobombs unless there's interest. I do enjoy going heavy and breaking out the iron sometimes, can't beat a slap up meal in the woods...

I'll have to post up some Hard shell camping too....
Last year the Wife and I bought a 17.5' Hard shell camper, a very old one (30 yrs old) haha and very small. She needed to have the A/C so if you want to go camping with the family & tents don't cut it, you get a camper haha........
This thing, for as small as it is has an oven, cook top, tub/shower, toilet, A/C and heat - is this camping? close enough if everyone is happy, happy, happy.

A few of my cohorts from another forum got together late last summer.
A camping/survival meet up, no modern amenities.
Flint and steel or nothing, well it was over 100 F so we cheated so we weren't purifying water all weekend.
Learned a few new tricks and did some brain tanning for demonstration.
Late on the last day we broke out a few toys, it was my middle sons first time loading and shooting a flint lock.
and of course the .22 with a can went over well.
I am still trying to figure out how I always get stuck cooking but at least the coffee is drinkable.
The two gentlemen in dress actually go out and live like this for several months out of the year.
Weather was warm enough we threw out our bed rolls and called it good.

I love the outdoors and try to get out as often as possible which is not enough for me.

A couple more

More glamping than camping for me. The chairs go & there's always cold beer in the fridge in the back of my 4wd

Yes sir it is, we all had a time, my boy shout it a few times stepping up the load each time, he reloads well helps me reload modern ammo as well. We have a week long wander off camping trip planned for mid spring. I am hoping to make/let him utilize as much of what he has learned as he can.
