Taking the boy out for our first (yes i know...dont stone me) father/son camping adventure. I am so pumped it is taking alot to just type this! Ill make sure to post some pix in this thread. We will be heading to the farmstead in Outlaw Country tomorrow after he gets out of school. Since this is my land and i have yet to get a smaller tent, we will be carting stuff in by H3. Gonna pitch a big ol 6 man tent, make a fire, use my new German Army Mess Kit for ramen (thanks Dryad) and the ALICE pack (thanks Upthecreek) will be stuffed full of coolness! I am making a list and im glad we are car camping! I tend to over do it hehe. Breakfast the following morning will be my special bfast (bacon, eggs, bannock (thanks Bowguy) )... Should be quite fun. Ill take some pix...

Im like a 10 year old on Christmas morning

Had a pretty fun night. My best friends and parents showed up and we all set around and chatted by the fire. Ended up going to bed at about 2am, then woke up, made some bannock and broke camp.
 
That looks great. I can't wait until my little boy is old enough to camp.
 
Looks like a great time! Had our 1st overnighter with my 4yr old this year as well. Great memories
 
How much land do you have, I love the pond on it. If I had land like that I would be camping there every weekend. But noooo.... I have to go to the north georgia mountains and backpack the appalachian trail with bears that come to my camp site every time I make camp, very exciting...

Aw, quit complainin', some folks go their whole life and never get accosted by a bear. Not me, I got the same problem you do, but some people don't. LOL, I hear ya, just once, I'd like to camp without having to hoist all my stuff 20' up in the air.

Nice pics, I'm glad you had a great time with your boy, I'm working on getting my girls a little more excited about camping. Moose
 
Great stuff buddy, what better way to spend some time eh !

What is the small hole at the bottom of the tent for ?
 
I remember the first time I took my son out for an overnighter

Both of you will remember it --FOREVER

Great pictures. I took mine front yard camping for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We had a blast, cooked hotdogs, played some games and told stories. We knew it was going to rain so being out in the open I put up a popup canopy over the tent to help with the rain... it poured but we never got wet. They had a blast, looking forward to moving down in the woods next time.

On that stretch i have 100 acres +/-. The pond pix you see is actually one pond. The pond due south of that one takes up 17 acres, is spring fed, and is about 20 ft deep during a decent summer. Bass, Crappie, bluegill, etc. Ive pulled out and released 3 8lbs'ers now. Is a great place. Is 1.5hrs from my home so i dont get to go there as much as i would like.
