Went tent camping last weekend

Near Mobile. First time in 20+ years. It was 97 degrees during the day.
Next time I'll wait for fall. That was fun but punishing. I think I sweat out 20 gallons and could've cleared out Rouse's gatorade.
But it was nice to cook some brats over a fire and chill out. Just me and the dog.

No shite
I don't even think about it until mid to late October. I do need to take my boys again this fall though. They love it.

I'll be camping most weekends in September for hog hunting. I'm dreading it. The heat is no joke!

No way in hell I'm camping in the summer months in the deep south this time of year.
Maybe in Alaska or some other far north region with milder temperatures, but definitely not in the south.

I have seen your posts about hog hunting WMAs. I also do this. Can you hunt them in Sept. for the Crow, Blackbird, Cowbirds, and Grackles season? I always felt like you could but just waited till Small Game season.

Yikes. My son asked me last week when we could go camping. I looked at the 95* reading in my truck and said "let me get back to you on that".

Compromise. Set up the tent in the back yard and tell him to have at it---------that'll cure him.
Bet he's knocking on the back door in a couple hours wanting in for the A/C.

Not a fan of tent camping in heat but those little battery operated fans are life savers. Also being in a hammock makes a ton of difference, especially if you can get a little air flow.

We had a father son trip to Georgia back in April. It was nice and warm here during the day, and temps rarely getting into the 60s at night. I think there were around 40 guys total on the trip. Maybe 15 families or so, and some had more than one boy on the trip. I only brought shorts and t-shirts to wear, and the first night it started raining on us around 2 AM. Tent was watertight, but walking out the next morning to temps in the low 50s woke me up fast. The second day we were there, a bunch of the boys wanted to go swim in a pond. Water temp had to be freezing, but they all said they loved it, through their blue, quivering lips.
My boy wants to go again, but it is too dang hot right now. Maybe by late September I can take him to a nearby state park for a night or two.

Enos hammock and their bug net. You're welcome. Kids and myself hammock camp year round.

I only tent camp in the winter when hunting these days. I have my 5th wheel at the lake campgrounds more than I have it here during the summer buy even then the heat can be a pain.
My bulldog doesn't tolerate really hot Temps well so she probably needs the AC in the camper more than I do.

My wife has been begging me to get into tent camping. I think I'm going to hit up some of the WMAs with a small game emphasis area during squirrel season so that I can hunt the dogs and knock out 2 birds with 1 stone haha.

This is probably the worst part about living in the south, is the lack of comfortable camping from mid April to mid Oct. I went up to Illinois this summer to stay in a summer camp and it was in the 50s at nights in late June. Tons of people camping very comfortably.
Nothing wrong with camping in the summer, just not in the south.

Did that in high school with friends, we’d regularly go camping in South Louisiana in the summer.
I’d die of heat stroke if I tried that now.
