This nice little 2 bedroom cabin in the woods is perfect for someone who’s looking for a primitive weekend getaway. Lots of public land nearby for hunting, fishing, and hiking. Only minutes to Cataract Falls. It sits on 1/4 of an acre. The county records show a well on the property but I haven’t...
Camping with friends is one of my favorite pastimes. Hot or cold, rain or shine - we dont usually turn away from weather challenges. We typically pack up our backpacks and hike 3-6 miles then make camp somewhere. Monroe is a common destination because of the availability of space and lack of...
A friend and I are looking to go down to the HNF this weekend for some camping. Its a two-plus hour drive, so we have not properly scouted a good site. I have found some places that look good on OnX Maps, but wanted to check with INGO before heading down.
The campsite should be relatively...
I have a TNF Tadpole 23 tent, with footprint for sale. I bought this 2 years ago and used twice, but it is just a hair too short for me. 6'3" is too tall to lay without feet or head touching one of the walls once on my pad.
This is an ultralight backpacking tent, that is still free standing. Go...
I purchased this generator a couple years ago and only used it for 8 hours last year (other than periodically starting it every few months to run for 5 minutes to exercise it). Always treated gas.
No issues. Works like new. (just dusty for sitting in garage).
Runs on gasoline.
$500 cash...
I'm looking for a good rustic log cabin rental preferably in the deep woods. I want seclusion for 2 adults and 2 children. I don't want to hear traffic nor do I want other cabins in the area.
I grew up in the country and miss what the forest offered me as a child. I want to provide this...
I bought this 3 days ago for my kids and I and its just going to be way to big. We set it up inside to make sure everything was ok with it and to seals the seems jic but its just to much for us. Packed it all back up and thats it. We could return it but I figured someone else might be able to...
Hi All,
I was wondering, what your favorite backcountry/backpacking trips are 4-5 hours drive from Indianapolis? (drive can be longer an hour or two if it is worth it)
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and getting out there... once the weather improves!
Who here's done it?
I'm looking at packing a cold cooler for 4 days. How much should I get for a smaller cooler for one guy?
Anybody recommend a good soft-sided cooler?
Coming up in August, I'm going to a party on the Indiana/Illinois border in the Chicago land area. It's a party they have every year, and I've gone the past two times. It's a fairly large party that covers 3 days and camping, full of people I do not know.
I've read on here that the Illinois...
I want to get a new knife soon. I am interested in the ESEE-4 (I wish it had a sharpened pommel) in 1095 steel, the Ontario RAT-3 in D2 steel, or the Ontario RAT-5 in 1095. I like the ESEE-5, but I don't think I want the extra thickness of the blade for slicing tasks.
I would carry this new...
I was not a fan of the grip, or the sheath the way it was so I had to change it.
Paracord wrapping so the knife can be mounted at the small of the back.
The handle also felt a tad slippery, so but no longer with some more paracord.
I hand sharpened the blade when I...
I'm in NWI and I love camping and doing day hikes with the ladies, lol. Well one very special lady in perticular. We have been to Turkey run and its like 2.5 hours away. But I was thinking about going to Clifty Falls this year. I have never been there before and I have heard thats its about...
I hope this doesn't sound like a rant, but I would like to hear what some of you guys have to say about the Boy Scouts and see if your opinions are the same as mine. I was the Assistant Scoutmaster for a Troop for a year, and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get out, to much BS. I'm pretty...
Well here goes, this is my Camping / Survival pack. The contents have gotten me through many many a camping trip into what most would call deep wilderness. Take what you will from it, I'll be happy to entertain questions.
Everything you see accept the fishing rod, tent, and tarp, fit...
Has anybody went deep woods camping on public/state land? Im not looking to stay on a watered down camp site with people 200 yards away. Is it legal just to set out on public land and set up out in the middle of the woods? sorry for my noob-like questions, but I am just craving solitude and my...
