Meplat 1,014 Report post Posted January 11 It's Gore Tex so "kind of". I'm more concerned with it being windproof. Also, I'll mainly be car-camping, my packing days are long dead, so weight is not so much of an issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need more feet room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some visiting relatives in the upstairs apartment were freaking out. I said "It will be rainy and 40F by morning". (I was off a bit, but the snow did fuck right off).

Russians I've met "visit" Michigan , and then leave. Poles seem to love it (and Czechs). I admit I miss parts of my birthland, but Arizona had far better ranges, and Kentucky has absurdly better fishing and hunting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoooSeR 6,032 Report post Posted May 12 14 km of walking in St.Petersburg with my friend through 3 islands. When we were getting to the end (subway station) we discovered that today local footbal team was playing. Thank god that sea of humans was exiting subway station instead of getting in. Gazprom's scyscraper - Lakhta-center. Spoiler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoooSeR 6,032 Report post Posted June 11 Continue to walk around in our city, with friend. One of many emitters of Russian Propaganda. Spoiler Main source of Russian Propaganda Mind Control towers in St.Petersburg. Can't get up there without gravity gun, though. No idea what happened to this building. Either this is secret bunker entrance, or Subway station entrance tonnel to Viborgskaya, not sure on which one. What i'm sure about is that this tonnel walls were covered in condensate. Same for ceiling. This place is so empty that underground pass have only 1 pigeon inside of it. Well, 3 pigeons in total. 2 Scolopax and Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beer 61 Report post Posted 15 hours ago My appology for not proper camping but here's some photos from my hiking trips around Czechia (and a bit of Poland). Maybe an inspiration for someone. Czechia is probably the easiest country in the world for hiking. There is very dense, more than hundred years old, network of hiking paths which are well signed and also available on online maps. Since the country has pretty high population density you also can not hike too long without getting into some village or town and there are (nearly) no bears or wolfs to go after you. All in all no real advanture but a nice experience anyway. I do around 300 km of hiking per year depending on my free time and still have thousands left to do. All photos are from my phone, so the quality is corresponding. Here is just few of the photos. I don't want to flood this thread but if you are interested I can post a lot more or make a special thread. Sunrise on the Raná hill near Louny (some 60 km west of Prague) View from Sedlo mountain, north-western Bohemia near German border One of many ponds in southern Bohemia Potštejn castle, eastern Bohemia View from Srebrna Góra fortress towards the Czech border, Poland. What You can see is one of the forts of this absolutely massive fortress built by Frederick the Great after the war with Austria so that Laudon could never ever take Klodzko principality again. The fortress had around 220 guns and 4000 soldiers of the permanent crew and even Napolen didn't manage take it. Some say it's the biggest mountain fortress in Europe. 2 LoooSeR and Scolopax reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
