I would have never thought of this when it was just the two of us camping, but once we started camping with a large group...I know a few of the ladies in the SoCal group think this is one of the best additions we've made to our camp kits since there's not too many trees out in the desert - our porta-priveys and wagbags :D So guys, if lack of facilities is one of the things keeping your wife/daughter from enjoying spending time outdoors, we recommend these:

The WAG bags are great to use in areas that require you to pack out your waste, too. The kit comes with TP, handwipes, and a double-bag system.


:rotflmao2: I know, but sometimes it the little things, guys.

IMO, if she wont come because of something like no outhouse, then i'm better off without her there... next thing you know, its too hot/cold/wet/boring/dirty... everything that makes camping, well, camping.:clap:

kulapiku that's a pretty narrow-minded, rude thing to say. I'm fairly sure that I can handle the outdoor extremes as well as most of the guys on here and better than a lot (I've spent hours on top of a mountain north of Fairbanks in the dead of winter to photograph the northern lights, I'm an advanced open water diver who is also certified in deep diving, wreck diving and rescue diving who has never had the privilege of diving in warm waters, I used to do a lot of top rope climbing, I made my husband hike the Grand Canyon for our honeymoon... I've spent my life in the outdoors since I was a baby), but when there are 20 guys and 3 women, there are time when a woman appreciates a little privacy.

So, if I'm not the kind of woman you'd want to camp with, I'm probably better off without you there. :clap::clap:

well then it's decided, we shall never go camping together:rotflmao2:



oh and to bring it back on topic... depending where you live a tarp or cover for overhead and the ropes to string it up with.

I have to say I am not a fan of the port o potty either. http://ziza.ru/data/emoticons/wacko.gif
There's always a bush or big rock if you walk far enough. A good look out person helps too if you're worried about people walking by.

Duct tape and zip ties are great to have on hand. They can fix almost everything.:yup:

[kulapiku]

Yeah I gotta admit..Im leaving the mrs at home if she needs a portable outhouse. She's pretty rugged though - she loves to camp. Hell, she'll opt NOT to use a portajohn when they are available. "Those things are filthy."

One cooler for Beers - one cooler for everything else. That's my contribution to this thread. Oh and if you have room: one cooler of nothing but extra ice (for long outings). Oh and dry ice rocks - 5 days in a cooler is no problem.

lol, actually on further review and thought with regards to my opinion on the porta potty issue, hopefully I didnt come across as sexist, because that wasn't my intention... frankly, I dont want to go camping with anyone that requires one of those - female, male, or otherwise.

and with respect to the coolers, i can only suggest to not be a cheap ass like I was and get the least expensive one you can find. A lot of the times coolers are now rated for how long they can keep the contents cold for (in days), think about how long you usually are away for and select the appropriate one. There is nothing worse than having food thaw, and drinks get warm the second day you're there - - warm beer sucks.

[doojette]

x2 on the cooler. Spend a little more, you'll be happy you did. Warm potato salad is even worse than warm beer.

YOU GO GIRL!!!, not to mention that most large organized runs (ie;Rubicon) require portable toilets for ALL PARTICIPANTS.

For best camping spots, own a JEEP.

For crappy camping spots own something else.

On another thread someone asked about camping lists. Here's a basic Jeep camping list (a backpacking list would be different). Feel free to add to it or offer alternatives! :cool:


tent
tarp or tent footprint
sleeping bag
sleeping pad, thermarest or air mattress (my wife and I prefer the thermarests, but most prefer the air mattress)
pillow
cooler/food/drinks
drinking water
water container for washing/cooking (pour spout recommended)
lantern
camping chairs
collapsable/foldable table
camping stove
cooking/eating utensils
pot/pan
plates, bowls, cups

2-way radio or CB
toiletries (bears consider most of this stuff food!)
hat/gloves/warm layers


- A roof top tent or even better a trailer with a RTT instead of a tent, pad and sleeping bag (it has already has a mattress and you use blankets) I prefer the AT Chaser.
- A 12v refrigerator (I like the Engel)
- Spare Jeep fuel
- Hot water system, I prefer the Zodi Extreme (for washing dishes and showers)
- Small shovel (to bury poop)
- Bear proof containers if you are in bear country and not at a bear box (a good trailer can be the bear box)
- Small LED area lights. These are small portable lights you can mount in different places around your camp to provide light.

A couple of things i would add is some twine or rope (i always take parachute cord)use as a clothes line or to tie up a lantern and can always be used to fix things that break.tie a splint etc......
the other thing would be poison ivy wipes if you are sensitive to poison ivy and such.

[RedrockX]

Now i got the bug to go camping again...

anyone in SoCal doing any camping anytime soon..?

[bluerubicon08]

Mmmmmm...........brownies.........mmmmmmmmmmm:brow s:i guess it goes along with the special brownies:brows:

[CajunHiker]

My shelter is a Hennessey hammock with a rainfly. MUCH more comfortable and cooler during warm weather. HYOH

One cooler for Beers - one cooler for everything else. That's my contribution to this thread. Oh and if you have room: one cooler of nothing but extra ice (for long outings). Oh and dry ice rocks - 5 days in a cooler is no problem.

X2 the extra cooler for beer is essential!:ya: Also, when my dad and I used to go camping in very remote areas far away from stores he would buy a 50lb block of dry ice for the large food cooler. It would keep all of our meat and perishables good for the whole week. We never seemed to bring enough beer though....:beer: :drunk:
