What do do with your stuff

poncho/windshell, fleece vest? back-up wool socks? you know, extras...

I use my DIY Gear Hammock/Camp Seat. You can get more details about it in my video if you'd like. This is part 3 that talks more about using it as a gear hammock.

I guess short outings wouldn't require extra clothes other than warm things for night - which you're presumably wearing when going to sleep. But on longer trips, of course you'll have at least a change of clothes. If you're me, at least...

I was just joshin about the extra clothes. Go on a really long hike, like the AT, and you start leaving everything 'extra' behind. Old habits die hard.

I'm the other way around. On long trips, it's 1 set of night clothes, 1 set of day clothes, rain gear and extra socks. Short trips I don't care about the extra weight (and less food makes for more room).


On topic, if it's reasonably dry under my tarp, if it's wet, hanging from a tree (with a pack cover)

I use a trash compactor bag for a pack liner, which can be used to cover the pack when camped. Some bags are perfumed and should be avoided. Get it off the ground if there are varmints that might chew on it.

I somehow missed this video series when it was posted. Wow, did I miss something good! This may be the most multi-functional piece of gear I've seen.

Lately, I've been looking for a chair for my tired bones (they get tired after 6 decades of using them). But, being a gram weenie, I just couldn't do it because of the weight. You have just solved that problem and given me bonus gear!

I can't thank you enough. Oh boy, another DIY project to add to the list

I mostly 4x4 camp, so I use a nice carpet under my hammock and then I hang my other stuff off the hammock suspension or lay it on the carpet. It depends on what the weather looks like.
