How do you brew coffee while /out/?

Post your tents, your tentfu, which will be your next acquisition, etc

I currently have my first tent (a typical cheap igloo camping tent, Hummer Igloo 3+) and 2 ultra light 3 season tents (forclaz mt900 tarp tent for 1 and 2 persons). I have used the latter in high mountain before, during summer (which is still cold), but usually in this part of Los Andes the wind is too strong for my tent. So I'm planning to buy a 4 season tent more appropriate for high-altitude and strong winds.
Around here most people use the mountaineering line of Doite, pic related would be the one appropriate for my needs. The thing is that here tents are particularly expensive (that one costs +400usd), and I think I might be able to buy something half that price in the US, but I'm not familiar with US brands. Which one would you recommend?

Does this actually work?

I wasn't ready for them last summer, I realize that. Now I'm ready.

Mary Jane’s Bridge. On small road called Bayou Tortue off of Highway 90, this tee-tiny bridge can be located at the narrowing roads past many subdivisions in the area. As predictable as any tale of a bridge could be, a girl by the name of Mary Jane was out on her prom night. Both her and her date stopped the car to get out and stand on the bridge to admire the beauty of the algae-infested muddy waters. Next thing you know, her supposedly well mannered date PUSHED HER off of the bridge, and poor little Mary Jane died upon impact. And of course, as the legend goes, a girl in a white dress haunts the bridge and the surrounding area. I have heard that if you stop on the bridge and turn your car off, she will magically appear in your car window starting at you.

today i saw a tick crawling up my hiking pole. I had permethrin sprayed on my pants, socks and boots so i wasn't too concerned but nope!

spray permethrin on your poles too. mine have a foam grip that absorbs water so it can be soaked, otherwise wrap a treated cloth below the grip

Where did I take this picture today, are you able to get the exact location?
It shouldnt be to hard. Post orginal pictures of your recent outings that you took and if you did not go on any recent outings, think about why you keep making excuses instead of just going out even if only for a couple of hours on a small hike.

When coming back to this board it feels like 80% is just larpers. There are almost no original pictures taken anymore and 50% is gear threads. lets try to change that and post real pictures that you took.

Any recommendations? I'm passionate about them and I would like to merge both interests into some hobbies

Just imagine - you’re walking around at night in the forest, and then suddenly you met a puma on your way - what will you do?
