Pics of your backcountry camp

I take crocks as well. They weigh nothing, hang on the back of my pack, come in handy for creek crossings, camp shoes and peeing at night ....

They looked heavy and clunky ? Guess Ill have to checkem out.

I take moccasins, lighter and less clunky. And can double as stalking slippers when its dry. And less gay.

Never thought of Mocs. Good for double duty. How are they for deeper stream crossings?

Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 3 next to the meadow.  Have similar photo with the Seek Outside tipi in this same spot, need to find where that is.

I didn't read all sixteen pages so forgive me of this was addressed but I'm seeing alot of pics of camps set up in the middle or edges of open Meadows. I have always set up back in the woods more to use the trees as a wind screen and I always feel like it's warmer as well. Am I confused or missing something? Those camps look alot prettier in pictures than my "this was a sorta flat spot by some trees"

The cheapest, lightest ones from Walmart I believe. Had them for years.

Bracer40, haven't used them for stream crossings yet.

My two cents.  I have done both - It depends on the weather.  If there is a wind storm that comes up over night, I want to be in the meadow rather than in the trees.  It can be like a war zone in there when limbs and tree tops start coming down!

Also, as I am sure everyone knows, the bottom third of a valley and the crest will always be colder than the mid sections due to cold air sinking, and wind.

You carry an air pad but no sleeping bag for "emergencies"...?

I usually just build a big fire, stand around it all night and enjoy the stars...if I get tired, I nap...and collect firewood throughout the night...

PS. I call this "camping" btw...can't be lost if your mindset is "I am home where I am..." Most people who get "lost" are too fixed on finding a specific spot at a specific time. Relax, think, and wait for daylight...

Sounds like you get lost a lot.  You have a lot of experience.

Some of these camps make me feel cold.
