    actually, you should open up your sleeping bag as soon as you make camp so the compressed fill can regain its loft to keep you warm. That's hard to do if your body lays down on it immediately.

    I’ve backpacked for nearly 50 years - from the Superstition Mountains, down into the Grand Canyon, to the high country in Montana, Alaska and Washington. What you say is so true. There’s been water shortages, cactus encounters, grizzly bears, a broken tooth, a midnight rescue of a fallen injured stranger crying for help in the night. There’s been boot failures, surprise snow storms, a family of skunks raiding our packs plus a thousand wonderful memories and pictures in my mind. Backpacking has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done - and I’ve done a heap of living in many ways. I still use my old external frame Camp Trails pack and homemade pop can stove. It’s cooked many a steak and pounds of bacon and dozens of eggs over the years. Y’see we leave the first morning with frozen New York Strip steaks. By supper time they’re thawed but still cool. Next two mornings it’s bacon and eggs. If you happen to be camped any where near other backpackers you’re sure to have visitors when they smell that cooking. Happy trails!

      For car camping - I have now moved to thick closed foam pads. I will post new reviews this year. For backpacking- I agree deflating can be a problem. With my Big Agnes - it was comfortable I had to constantly inflate in the night. I am trying a new inflatable to see how well it does.

    It gets hot in the summer in canada, too, but the worst part about summer camping around June and July are the bugs. They seem to all be gone in August (except maybe around 9-10pm). In winter it's cold but we have a lot of fun with that. Hot tents, fires, snow shelters, ice fishing. Cheers for the great video!

  • @don7294

    When I first started looking for Grizzly bears in Yellowstone in the 70's we would even take off the clothes we were wearing for dinner and hang them up to air out. We had bears come into our camp every night and put their nose on the tent and take a big sniff. This was terrifying but we knew the bears would not be smelling any food. Now, I use an electric fence to protect the camp and still practice safe food and clothes handling.

    • @campingforge
      @campingforge Год назад

      Thank you for the story. If you have the space (car camping vs backpacking) - I think it's still a good idea to change clothes for sleeping in a tent in grizzly territory. If backpacking, I would do my best to cook meals on the hike before I got to camp. That way the curious bear that smells the food is heading to where you were and not where you are.

    Is there a good brand of bear spray and where can it be purchased? Thanks for the great video.

    • @campingforge
      @campingforge Год назад

      If you have a choice - Mace Guard will most likely be you best for combination of range and volume and portability (per Field and Stream). But what you want is actual bear spray with 2% major capsaicinoids. That's the active chemical and the highest concentration allowed. If you are buying online - make sure you are getting actual bear spray. You may also be able to rent spray if you are traveling. And I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

    People that say "cotton kills" are using it wrong! 1) Thermal regulation is key to wearing cotton. 2) Synthetics are miserable to wear if you sweat much, you'll actually sweat more in Synthetics, and are a bacteria factory. 3) Use Any fabric incorrectly, get it wet with no way to get dry and you'll have issues... especially in winter! 4) I always use cotton against my skin and simply shed layers if I'm getting to warm! 5) Wool is best on all counts!

    • @campingforge
      @campingforge 2 года назад

      Thank you for your reply. However, cotton should not be worn now as a base layer. It is heavy. It traps sweat. And it will not keep warm if wet. I wear an Under Amor t-shirt as my base layer. Barely there. Doesn't trap sweat. Doesn't trap bacteria (it's the least smelly thing on me after a week in the backcountry). I do wear a cotton flannel as an outer layer because it's warm.

I can assemble a shelter quickly with my tarp and trekking poles. Also I am ok sleeping with a bug net on my head to stop any buzzing bugs. But you are right saves weight, space, and time.
