My tip is long underwear!!!! :p:cool:
Without that little, thin, dry layer right next to my skin, the breeze would get to me! Ask Hiram, I'm cranky without long underwear!:rolleyes:

Lots of extra socks so when your feet sweat you can change them.;) And food, so when you eat it you will have more to eat.:D
I'm definately a fan of dry socks!!Quote:

Put your tent on top of the snow. It's easier on the ground if you camp on the snow rather than on the ground.
Leave no trace!
A warm sleeping bag is really nice, but you want to make sure that the space between you and the ground is well insulated. I take two foam pads with me and sometimes will put a blanket under me on top of that. Air mattresses are not a good thing....
but those self inflating foamy ones have some pretty good insulation :DQuote:

I use a self-inflatting foam mattress in the winter. It's a therma-rest.
I like the under armor thong to keep things warm:D

Sorry, back on topic.
Dave, if you model that, they will never find your body.... :pQuote:

Ok, this isn't really a camping "tip" more of a question... I found this website(http://www.mrefoods.com/ and http://www.campingsurvival.com/mreskits.html), that sells the military grade MREs... It seems like a novel idea if you're doin some backpacking (or in sledding...) was wonderin if anyone has ever had any first hand experience with them...??? :confused::confused::confused:
We can not answer unless you tell use the web site you are referring to :).Quote:

I don't know what you guys are talking about... the links are up there in my post and have been since i forgo... i mean uhh... put them in when i first wrote the post... :rolleyes:;)
but just a simple update, we are currently tryin the mountain house brand stuff that i bought at dick's... its not too bad, boil water and add to the pouch... even stef can cook this stuff! :D
i guess ya have to add the water boiliing because the food was freeze dried, so it takes really hot water to thaw it out... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:;):D
It's pretty good stuff! Although we tried the non-meat stuff, we'll see how the meat stuff tastes, but the strawberries will be great in oatmeal (that was Hiram's idea too). Can't wait for the weekend, and we're going to have new snow!!! :D:D:DQuote:

Ah, yes - I know Tom really went all out for Warren Island, too (a most memorial one for me of '07) ~ and I bet Vic can do it too. I will never forget the twinkle in Vic's eyes when Becket and I were going for one of this caches and he showed up. The two of them (Tom + Vic) = quite the pair.
Well, to miss a poker run was ok - as I stink at cards (cribbage might be the rare exception). Firepits I love........ Just to old to venture on this one with my back.
That's what makes Geocaching so great, there is something for everyone and we all share together when we can. I have enjoyed the summer camp outs and hope to do more this year.
Hey, anyone take some photos I can use on my talk at the Orrington Library in April? Shoot them to me at my email addy - I sure will give you credit for being of the stout hearted!
I'll try to add photos tonight...I don't have your email though...PM me :)Quote:

Attroll - I, too, am probably guilty of putting photos on the cache page and not here. Usually I post them as I am logging the event and never go back to put them on here. I will try to get better at doing them here too. Thanks for the reminder.
