Nice to know I'm not alone.


The real shock to my system was when I found this forum and everyone was telling me get this and get that, money money money. My friends and myself are used to using only what we have at hand (nothing else!) and nothing lightweight or even conventional by most backpacker's standards.

Since my friends have talked to me about half a year ago (when I joined this forum) they have spent so much money on camping :-) Oh well, good thing about camping is most of the stuff is practical enough to be used outside of the mountains.

.... if you live in the forest that is. :P
