Camping in the desert.

And if you are sufficiently gonzo, I'm on the DangerBird 350 bikepacking route (but didn't bring my bike this trip). Not for the faint of heart.

#PhotoOfTheDay Is of The Racetrack playa, Death Valley National Park, California.

Any kiwis know of a place I can get replacement poles for cheap tents?

Navigator South in particular (this time). Poles are the standard elastic-in-plastic, fold-up jobbies. I just need them the right length, with the right fittings on each end, for the canopy I have (poles it came with are munted).

#Cabelas / #bassproshops is a store I enjoy a lot and fills a retail niche for #outdoors people that is hard to find - boaters, #icefishing, #camping, #hunting, etc.

It is also, despite appearances, 100% an American company. You may need to split your shopping to multiple retailers to replace them, but I was able to do it. There are many, many Canadian outfitters, large and small, in every province. #buycanadian

Auf ein erfolgreiches Dreh-Wochenende auf dem "Gut Moorbeck"!

I'm starting a thread on #HammockCamping...

Feel free to comment and even tell me where I'm wrong, or if there's a better solution.

I'll start with the big one... how many lines/ropes/straps should it take to fully pitch a #HammockTent?

I have a strong bias that the answer is no more than four!

I propose a general "Four Point Hammock Suspension Rule" (two straps for the hammock itself (with bug net), no more than two for the rainfly)

Note that the fly does not need to be diamond shaped, this is a general rule-of-thumb.

My point is: if you have more lines you increase complexity, increase time pitching and repacking, decrease access, and have more things to trip over.

Put another way: If you get the same performance with fewer lines, that is a good thing.

If more lines are required to achieve the same performance, that may indicate a weaker design.

"Seasons First Snow"

Looking out at the pond, from my tent, my gaze was met with a spectacular scene, the tall trees framing the tranquil pond, were reflecting the overcast sky and snow-dusted forest . . . . READ FULL STORY

unimpressed with a campsite that I am thinking of booking. They forbid cycling on their internal roads including the road to the shop for the safety of other campers, obviously they don't forbid cars or camper vans on those roads because they're safe.

Eastern Sierra Nevada Morning Light

Near the height of winter I visited the Alabama Hills in California to test out camping gear and take photos of the mountains.

I didn't grow up near the Sierra Nevada Mountains but they are growing on me
