What would you take?

“we have 250+ acres my family just bought..i've been hiking fencelines and scouting ponds. It's all secondary hardwood forest, with areas of clearcut and planted pine.

Lets say i wanted to play around and go out there with just about nothing.kinda test my skills closeby.

What would you say can be taken, and still be called barebones camping?

knife?...blanket?...plastic sheet?
filter and canteen?...

enough to be safe...but have to provide on your own?

getting lost isn't a big issue, and there is running water.

lets see your responses...do i go with a sleeping bag and a walmart bag...or a pocketknife and a canteen?”

“I would go with Twinkies and a picture of Vanna White”

“poncho,water bottle and a copy of playboy would work....”

“I would take my bacpac and some Jello Fog.”

“take mucho mota”

“When you say"provide on your own" do you mean food? How cold is it where you are? How long are you going to stay out?
My List:Food=PB and J? Fishing kit
Shelter=large square
Of Tyvek,stakes and line
Water=tabs or filter,
container.
Protection=Fillet knife
Warmth=fire starter and
Bic.and temp. approp. bag
Other=Bible, journal and
pen.
This sounds like a fun experiment-one last thing you should take-ME.”

“Miss Opie”

“Uh-oh!”

“Leave the plastic at home. Take a axe or hatchet or saw, some old wool blankets and hand full of lg. safety pins to keep the blanket edges together and something to cook in and drink out of. If the pond is stocked bring some fishing gear. I bet 'bootkiller' would be good for warmth and fresh rabbit or groundhog for a main course.

You should be able to make a descent shelter out of the pines and any cedars standing around another thing to look for long grass, aka winter wheat etc. Harvesting large bundles will help out on the roof and sleeping pad. Protecting yourself from the elements, since home is acres away should be #1 priority. A good roof is hard to beat.”

“Take Dolly, the blow up sheep and lots of Joy Jelly...”

“Take what you usually carry on a dayhike. This will serve to inform you if you are carrying the right things in your daypack.”

“and bring Miss Opie.”

“4 Hooters girls, a plastic sheet and a can of Crisco”

“oh, and the horns....”

“YEAH!!!!
What Chili said!!!!!!”

“oregano.......and plenty of it...”

“boy, what are you crazy? you'll die out there without a 50 pound pack.
how can you be so irresponsible? so careless?
i can't believe people like you. i bet you won't even have your dogs on a leash will you? what about the other people who might be out enjoying your property that day? you'll ruin their whole trip.”

“butter-flavored Crisco...”

“lmao you two funny guys you....”

“i'm thinking along the daypack idea...but with my sleeping bag...cuase yea i wanna test my limits..but i don't excately wanna feel like a popsicle the whole time. It's only 60-40's here right now..so that's not too bad...and the one pond is fishless..just rotenalled it to kill the trashfish for restocking...but the other bigger back lake is huge...noone's seen it from the ground..only helicopter sweeps of the land”

“I'd take that whiskey that MileMonster had at TC2 and to hell with the rest of it! Buddha, can I get an amen from the congregation!”

“You think BB is going to prefer whiskey over 4 Hooters girls....


LMAO!”

“yea bb drinks wine..from a bag...hahaha..and he used to be president...what kinda msg are we sending our kids?”

“That sounds awesome, Opie! I would probably take just the essentials...sleeping bag, water filter, compass and matches. I like Briar's idea of creating a natural shelter...which here you can get away with, since its your own property.
Throw in some "cushion" with a little food to start with, some fishing line, journal, and a camera!

Explore and enjoy. You can map the whole place out for the huge TT gathering you'll have there someday.
;o)”

“no real trails for hiking..i've already offered it for a tc3+ site...it's great....been hiking it lately cause it's awesome right now...ducks everywhere..i need to get some pics”

“My list would be:
1.compass (make you own map)
2.Knife
3.Pocket Rocket & Fuel & Pot
4.Poncho & Liner
5.Power Bars
6.Rice or noodles
7.Water Filter & Bladder
8.Zippo Lighter
9.Camera
10.Cigar & Jack Daniels”

“I like #10.

8)”

“You've got to take pictures to show them. The land is really neat. Lots of wet areas with huge Cyprus trees.”

“forget the latex...just bring miss opie...”

“lol stikmon

bring your new gaiters!”
