Deacon, Thanks any time I get to camp I always have a blast.
I have a 25+ bag which I recently re-lofted and purchased a VBL so I'll be fine. There are others that don't have said gear so I was thinking of them. I don't know if we can do the fire thing in the Los Padres Forest as they want an official fire ring these days. So if there is one a fire there will be. Personally I like to do a stealth camp with no fire pits. Where I grew up we made our fires and knew how not to burn the place down. ~Hugh “Life is like riding a bicycle.
