I don't take a stove with my a large chunk of the times I head out. But if there is a fire ban or the area is sensitive (even if fires are allowed) I'll take one. If you're going to be having a campfire anyway then taking a stove isn't needed at all.

OSU_Matthew posted:So I was about to buy [http://thetentlab.com/Deuce/DeuceofSpadespage.html]the deuce of spades poop trowel[/url], but then I noticed on their site that they've got a really slick looking tent called the Moonlight Tent. Even though I'm a hammock guy, I kinda want to get a nice tent for places I'm going with other people that may not have great hammock sites and I'm not sure what tents the cool kids are using these days. Anyone heard of or used the moonlight tent? Is it worth the extra pound or two over the Copper Spur or MSR Hubba Hubba? Is there something better I should be looking at? Just use a tarp. That way you can take your hammock tarp setup and if there isn't anything to setup off you can sleep under the stars or tarp if it looks sketchy. This advice applies great here where it never really gets cold so ymmv.

Given I live in a place that is shorts and t-shirts all year round this never cotton stuff is amazing. Dress for the area you're going to be, it's as simple as that.

I like well done beans in my trekking poles. It's not a real pole without them.

FogHelmut posted:Hopefullly I'm going to be doing some car camping in the Southern California area. I'm looking for a tent, and/or other gear. Weight isn't much of a concern, though I'm not really looking for anything larger than in the 4-6 person range. Breaking the bank, however, is a concern. I've been looking at Alps Mountaineering and CORE Equipment - something a step up from Coleman stuff, but not anything super high end. Although I read somewhere recently that Coleman was making an effort to improve their quality? If bugs aren't a problem you can get by with just a tarp, it's what I use most of the year in a similar climate to SoCal (although I have a fancy expensive cuban fibre one so spending money can definitely be done). You really aren't going to get cheaper than that, in fact you can probably find one free on craigslist or something. Tents are really only needed when you want either a bit more privacy or the bugs / weather are a problem. Given that you have a car it could work just sleeping in that if the weather gets too garbage.

 Greatest bushwalking shoes I've ever used. But given the fact that my entire continent is basically flat and the need for ankle protection non-existent, having light shoes that you don't need to take off every time you hit a creek is great. Combine that with the fact that they're about the cheapest shoes you can buy it was a no brainer.
