Nothing against nature as such but I prefer traveling through inhabited rural areas & bypassed towns & seeing the path of human settlement

I'm going backpacking on a tiny island this weekend. probably only like 2 miles from the dock to campsite but that just means I can bring beer might get kayaks next summer so we can just paddle over and camp for free

one of the things my dad left to us was a 25 foot cedar strip canoe built for moose hunting. normally it would have been paddled by a team of 8 guys but it also has a square transom for an outboard motor. we have a 10hp mercury and it scoots pretty well. long, narrow waterline. it's a gigantic loving pain to haul it to the water but it would be a pretty dang classy way to take the whole family on a trip if i had like 5 kids

what makes it for moose hunting? can it accommodate eight people and an animal?

yee i mean it's just a giant canoe, ultimately, but deep in the canadian shield that's what it was built for. carry a whole hunting party plus a week's supplies plus a dead moose or a couple of deer or like five hundred birds

President Beep posted:i can’t anywhere without electricity because cpap. Nah, not a prob. li-ion batt pack and maybe an inverter. some cpaps take 12v and can plug into the packs directly. the reviews for the one i just bought for my ham rig indicate that it's popular for CPAPs and they get like 10 hours of runtime off one charge. throw a 20w solar panel and it's back up to full every evening.

my battery (which they state as giving 10h runtime ballpark) was 49 bucks. a cheap inverter is like 30 if you have a 120v only cpap. under a hundo and you're good for a one or two nighter. add a solar panel for $70 and you can camp indefinitely  stuff's not bulky either. my pack is the size of like 2 packs of smokes (yeah great analogy right) and maybe a pound

strongly considering renting or buying a really cheap place out in the sticks and just doing whatever for a while or maybe going back to work for the park service

camping trip was nice. hiked about 18 miles and slept on the beach. saw lots of adorable deer and baby raccoons  only issue was rando fucks with boats/massive yachts mooring and coming to my beach to just scream for the daylight hours. i had to hike inland to get away from them there are kayak-only spots all over the sound which is cool.  really want one now, but i have no way to transport it without spending a grand on roof rack island 10/10 tech fucks with boats: guillotine
