Camping hacks
Hey camping community! I wanted to start this discussion in hopes of sharing some "hacks" to use up in the Sawtooths of beautiful Stanley, Idaho.
I stumbled upon this neat little idea of a "stump stove" and thought I'd share. I haven't had a chance to do this myself, have you? http://englishrussia.com/2012/01/14/simple-handmade-stove/
I also hear that digging a small trench or channel around your tent will help divert rainwater around the tent and not under it.

Hi Jerrad,
That stump stove is brilliant, however, when camping, I cant see choosing to pack a chainsaw over a camping stove.

the best decision i ever made for camping is to abandon the tent and go with a hammock. lightens the load, easier setup, easier takedown, never sleep on rocks or slopes, never sleep in puddles or flash rivers, less chance of bugs crawling in, cooler in summer.
LOVE IT

Thats a great idea...unless you are planning on getting a little camping nookie. Not to mention I get eaten alive by mosquitos.
I remember when I was younger I would just take a sleeping bag and sleep under the stars. I would often camp alone and be at one with nature. Then I saw The Blair Witch Project. I havent camped alone or without a tent since. LOL

mosquitoes are not an issue. the Hennessy Hammock is actually a bag you get inside of. the top part is mosquito netting.
as for nookie, humans have been engaging in coitus outdoors for millions of years, tents and hammocks not required. :-)
