Just wanted to say hello. I actually stumbled onto this site while looking for a hammock on ebay and fell in love with it. I am mostly a backpacker(base load 30lbs for atleast 7 days). I love to make my own gear when I can, mostly just simple things like alcohol stoves, hooches, and i made a hatchet out of one that my friend had broke. I am into amateur radio ( tech ticket). I was in the army for 7 yrs and loved every minute of it (except the PT). I am looking forward to talking to everyone and learning new things

Alright mate, welcome to the site! Regular gold mine of infomation this place. You go wild camping alot?
i try to go camping as much as i can but this season hasnt been that great for me only been out a few times cause of work and family issues. In my part of MA there is alot of places to go camping but not alot of truly wild places. As long as i cant hear cars, people, sirens, and trucks. I am happy
MA is Massachusetts. There is alot of wilderness, the only problem in my area is getting there before other people do and having the time to get there...lol
Yeah know that one, not so much a case of avoiding other campers over here. its just all gamekeepers ya got to watch out for. Theres no real areas where you can wild camp [removed by Tony] . i always think if people can never tell you were there its no problem...
Agree with you on that one thats one of the reasons why i like alcohol stoves. You dont need a fire ring or pit. Plus the fuel is easy to carry and is cheap and easy to find. It doesnt smoke or smell and it doesnt give away your site.
yeah tend to limit my fires to the night and use a solid fuel hexamine stove for the morning, again there cheap as chips.
