Scroll down for maxped 10x4 setup.

Just got back from four great, relaxing days on the lake with my son and an army buddy of his. We've got a backwoods spot on a bay in LBL that we camp at every year. It's remote, but we can drive to it, so we bring plenty of goodies.
Had some low 30's in the forecast so we closed in a couple of canopies with canvas and picked up a few bales of straw to sleep on.

The first night was "Jeff soup". Damn good stuff. Here's the bacon and veggies simmering to make the base.

Just wanted to share a really special time with you, thanks for looking.



Sorry it took me a couple of days, but here you go.
Got the pouch on the left at Friedman's, the magazine pouch at US Cav near Ft. Campbell
Here's the stack up in the main bottle compartment:

Looks like an awesome time Trade.
 
Looks like a hell of a good time tw. Beautiful area. I can smell that food cooking. Wife and I are supposed to go again next weekend, to the same spot, but I'm not sure if we're going to be able to or not.
 
Man that looks awesome. I wish I could get a few days dirt time. For now ill settle for a few hours and your pics. Thanks for posting
 
Those are great pics, but they're missing one thing. A Maxpedition 10x4 water bottle carrier! :p
Looks like y'all had a great time. That some serious tents you have there.
 
I'm jealous - I spent half the afternoon tearing out the fence in the backyard and moving it about 10' further out so the critters have more room to play and better access to shade in the summer.

There, fixed that.
Those aren't tents. They are just those fold out shade canopies and we lashed canvas drop cloths to the sides.
