...Annnd there it is in my head all day also...
I started out here about a month or so ago but lurked for a while.. I did and continue to study bushcraft. It is awesome to walk through the woods and harvest a meal for the night or greens. mushrooms and other fungi to add to that meal you plan on cooking. I learned about buying twice and paying the price very well during this challenge with bushcrafting and I have now graduated to hammock camping by making the jump this fall.. Seemed a natural progression to me.. I aim to blend the two genres because once a bushcrafter, always a bushcrafter... Just a whole LOT lighter now!
George Washington Sears was the original ultralight back packer... His "tramping" stories and outdoor adventures were legend back in the day.. A true MUST READ... Even for all of us here .. You will love his philosophy and gear (or, lack of) that he carried,
With all of that said, I owe Shug some thanks and wish he would do more videos .. Hickory and him are hysterical to watch
and those trip vids are my favs.. I also owe you all a HUGE "thank you" for threads like this.. Like I said, I refuse to "reinvent the wheel" and studied all of your posts. I also agree with getting cottage industry products. I went with the WBB XLC and HG 0 degree all wrapped up in a 2QZQ QP .. all Epsilon Multicam (blame that on my military background
)
I am in the process of deciding what HG Cuben tarp I want and what works best for my needs with an 11 foot hammock (room to move/weather etc).. Really looking hard at the HG Winter Palace in camo but I can't decide the proper length.. Some say a 12 footer is too long because of selecting proper distance between trees but trees are plentiful here in the Adirondack mountains as well as deep cold and snow.. I plan on using this setup for deep hunting trips into the mts during fall and it can get pretty cold up there.. But the main focus is getting out there into "the piney woods" and doing some serious backpacking on some of the great trails we have in this great United States..
Look forward to your advice and, like I said MORE SHUG VIDEOS!! lol .. with Hickory also pleas!
