After a recent complication during a unexpectedly difficult decent, I now added a plastic bag containing a roll of TP and a rubber glove to my pack.
Having to continue after wiping with a mixture of peat and pine needles taught me a valuable lesson.

I have 11 acres in southern Arkansas and look to create an off grid "homestead". I find that there are a lot of rules and regulations when it comes to well and waste. Composting toilets are legal and I know how to set one up along with a DIY septic system. I have an old well on my property and it is about 50ft deep what is a cheap and legal way to get a new well setup. Besides that im interested in tiny homes / small cabins ( EX: 12x40 A frame cabin ) I am currently living in my RV and working at a local plant with a PO. So my income is decent to work with.

All of my shitty Walmart/Amazon starter gear is falling apart from wear and tear. What's the next step up without paying 300 dollars for a tent?

I'm planning a vacation/hiking and camping trip to Washington, the goals are Mt Olympus and Mt Ranier and if I have enough time some other stuff like Mt St Helens. I don't want to loiter in Seattle or Portland for obvious reasons. Problem is I haven't done a trip like this in years and am struggling to plan it, where to go first/last, stay, what to do, how long each location will take, parking, campsites, etc. Anyone have any experience out there able to provide any guidance for my plans? Where would you recommend camping or should I get an AirBnb so I can shower?

Has anyone ever stayed at Rock Island in Wisconsin?
I checked it out on YouTube and everyone is claiming that its haunted.
Hearing weird noises at night (probably coyotes) saying they felt like they were being followed, again, coyotes, something about an Indian graveyard, etc.
Have you been there? What is your experience like?

The logging will continue. They are cutting down our sacred trees again, just like last time. They have sap on their hands.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an "open-fly" or "half-fly"-style tent like this one?
I've been using the Sierra Designs Sirius 2 for a long time, and while it's billed as a three-season tent, I've had no problems with it in winter. The fly design's been great in the rain, too, with no moisture issues whatsoever. I moved to a new country recently, and I could only bring so much in my suitcases, which didn't include all my old camping gear. As such, I'm in the market for a new tent. I'd buy another one of these because I like it so much, but the company's discontinued the design.
The open fly design is great for ventilation, and I don't think I can go back to having a stuffy rain fly with full coverage all the time. Everything I can find on the market looks like it's either meshless, or fully mesh with a full-coverage fly (like the Meteor from the same company). Are there any small, 2-person-ish tents out there which either have a partial fly like this one, or if they have a full fly, have it designed so that you can roll it up partway and still not worry about rain falling through the mesh?

Hello /out/. It has been a while, maybe it is time for an AMA
