re: Any primitive backcountry campers on here?

Whiteblaze. Net is a great place for gear reviews. If it’s only for a couple days the jetboil with mountain house dinners are an easy option. I’ve gotten where I cook less than I used to. Bagel with peanut butter in the am. Tuna wrap, cheese and crackers, trail mix, etc in the evening. If I’m not in bear country I like to just lay in the hammock and read while snacking on something. If I’m putting in miles I like chocolate milk as a recovery drink right when I finish the hike.

Ive got several sleeping bags but I’ve mainly been using a sierra design cloud 20. It’s just tucks in instead of having a zipper. Just easier, especially in a hammock. I use a big Agnes insulated pad. It works great for me with a hammock. I have never found a camp pillow that last. Usually just end up with a compression bag with fleece in it or something. Again, I don’t need much of a pillow in a hammock.

Don’t forget to pay attention to your rain gear. Using trail runners or boots?
