    Kayak

    How pratical would it be to kayak on a calm lake with a dog that is 170pounds. Me and my wife have large dogs and thought about if there is anyway possible to put a big dog in a kayak. The dog,she would have a life vest but I dont think It would be wise to even try but we would like some...

    Shoes/boots for walking on rocks

    I always hike in trail shoes, but caving boots that cover your ankle are very important. When you eyes are looking where the light is pointing you can easily step in a crack in the floor, if it is rocky you could tear up your ankles easily. Caving require good gear to do it safe. Because one...

    Pack Weight?

    I would say between about 16-30 pounds. Yes it does change through out the year. Summer less cold weather clothes will be needed as compared to winter months. Some people are ultra light, but it seems like they do not have enough survival gear.Its really hard to say actual pack weight for that...

    How much gasoline do you take camping

    This isnt a 4x4 question, any car needs gas. When you camp out in remote places to you have to take extra fuel, feel comfertable taking extra or never been that far out. Me and my wife normally take between 5-15 gallons depending on where we go. I like to go out in the mountains and see people...

    Rain Gear

    I agree it is almost impossible to stay dry with rain, even gortex. But depending on pack size it is almost better to just get wet,if you are hiking you should stay warm enough. Then bring the gortex and dry clothes in your pack and change once you have gotten to your destination. Plus if you...

    Pocket Chainsaw

    I have been thinking about handles as well. I would like to look one up or go to the store and look at one see what the namebrand ones use. I know I have seen one with like key rings to put your pointer fingers in, sounds painful. Even a powerful chainsaw can have trouble at times,let alone your...

    Rain Gear

    I cant remember the brand, but my marine corps issue digital gortex top and bottom work really well. It is a little pricey new, but you might find it used at a surplus store if you are into that kind of stuff. Lots off pockets, zipper to open sleeves and let you breath.

    Campfire Marshmallows

    Sounds like overkill. I could just see some 100pound woman or 8 year old kid trying to tackle one of those on the end of a flaming stick. Then followed by marshmellow burns, and sore gut.

    When does your camping season start?

    Here in the pacific northwest most camping spots in the mountains are under 10-15 feet of snow. But if we can find a lower elevation spot we will camp anytime of the year. Cold is no problem. Me and my wife have a tent heater and good sleeping bags. Places like the redwoods are cool to camp at...
