Honey. It tastes good and is an excellent disinfectant.

Don't forget your camera. Pics or it didn...

Hey Sydney, I'm going Tramping this weekend too. It was either that or work on my Birthday - big "fuck you" to that.

Since you're just going camping you don't need to worry about what to bring, you can bring all the shit you want. Just make sure that you remember your sleeping bag and mat. Me and my friends often go to a place called the Wiohine Gorge to just camp, drink, eat and play with fire and two times I've been there I forgot my sleeing mat and then my sleeping bag. Nothing makes you feel more stupid than freezing your balls off in your tent because of forgetting the basics.

I once went summer camping with my 30 degree sleeping bag. It was about 85 at night, but the bugs were so thick I had to stay in my bag, and still woke up with a thousand bites. Sweety hell.

Well, good thing it usually goes down to about 10°C here at night in the summer, and also good thing that there are pretty much no bugs here, I haven't been bitten by anything in Iceland, EVER.

Don't need insect repellent, as I've stated earlier in the thread, there are no insects in Iceland...well, no annoying ones that is.

Also, I've got enough beer for the weekend to last for a week, so no worries

And we won't be using gas, using a battery lamp and coal grill.

And hammocks are useless in Iceland since we don't have any proper trees

What kind of forest are you going to camp in? The one in your front lawn?

Forest? I never said anything about a forest...
Goes something like this:

Ah.

That's what you meant when you said you weren't camping 'hardcore'.

This

Is not possible in Iceland

Our idea of hardcore camping is this




If you get lost in an Icelandic forest, you just have to stand up to see where you are

i envy you Sydney, we've only made it out once this year.
Fourth of July;



probly be next-next weekend. Have fun!

you dont need 90% of that stuff


You need
-Cooler
-LOTS of beer
-tarp
-lighter
-Sleeping bag
-water
-2 packs of Top dog hot dogs


Put the tarp on the ground, then roll it round your sleeping bag in case it rains. water to help with that nasty hang over drink 750ml + before going to sleep best hang over cure ever

I already don't like Maker's Mark, not that I've tried it. The fact that it's Bourbon yet spells "Whisky" without the "e", (only Scotch Whisky should spell it without the "e",) does not work in it's favour.

Air pump for the mattress.  Unless you have a girl going with you, then just tell her it's a special bag for her to blow into when she feels like talking.

Already thought of that

Me and my friend are going on a ice cube quest, we need to fill this

With ice cubes

Also, I can't drink Whiskey, I just find it disgusting. I guess it's a matter of forcing it down until you start liking it like coffee.

You must learn, young padawan. Get some absinthe then

Absinthe is illegal here
