Another sack with oatmeal, a small sack of coffee, a wooden spoon i made from a stick, a spice kit,flint and ...

It's been a long hard winter here in Wisconsin. Not only have the temps reached -30 countless times, I was busy every weekend with work and job hunting resulting in me not winter camping for the first time in 4 or 5 years. But now the clutches of winter are lessening, I'm done with college and it's ...

I've made three cloaks where I took 2 army blankets and put them next to each other the long ways and cut a half circle and sewed them together. This worked good but I felt like there may have been a lot of waste. However I'm thinking of trying a different way which would result in less material and...

I have some national forests near me that i go ranging at. You are allowed to camp almost anywhere in them.

I've winter camped in weather like this in the past. I've hiked with just long underwear a wool flannel nylon zip off pants a hat and gloves while hiking. Sometimes I would wear a wool cloak also. Once I hit camp I would usually put on a down jacket and snow pants If it's windy. The temps on my last...

Whats the cheapest and easiest way to make parched corn

Yep you have the right idea. I just use an old metal coffee can, a small one not those big ones. Its the perfect size for me. I carry my food and coffee in it. I usually carry a little oatmeal in case i want a hot breakfast. For dinner I have a mix of white rice, wild rice, Bulgar wheat, and dried m...

Welcome to the group. being new can be hard because it seems like there is so much to do. I grew up camping and backpacking. When i first got into rangerism it was about a year ago and a couple of buddies and i wanted to go camping with just some cloaks and a bedroll slung over our back. It was a gr...

Looks Great
