This trip was blown out due to weather so I spent most of my time on the hotel grounds. So I didn't get out with any knives.... still there isn't a bad day there.


Hotel

Of course it cleared for the drive home:grumpy: I stopped and took a few as I drove out.

I don't think I'll go back before May or June now.... kind of sad.

hotel! who needs a stinking hotel! get a kifaru tipi and stove and you'll be living in the lap of luxury in those winter storms.

That sounds like the set up the homeless use in San Francisco's Golden Gate park.

The woman I'm with has spent much of her life rock and ice climbing all over the world much of it requiring more than a month in remote places like Patagonia. I don't climb but I have been out in wilderness my share of time.

We are NEVER going to pass up a perfectly good hotel, bar, bed and restaurant just to say we have camped in adverse conditions. Been there done that got the Tee-shirt.

pretty sure a homeless person couldn't afford one of those setups...

you might be surprised what a homeless person has. talked to one last night who had a decent stove, dvd player, and a car battery to run all his electronics. of course he had the ubiquitous shopping cart stuffed with all manor of junk, but also had some 'luxury' items as well.

dont know about the tipi though.
 
and i like camping out almost as much as the next guy, but its hard to turn down a nice hotel and room service, especially when nature is right out the front door.

go out for some fun, get dirty and cold, then a hot shower and nice meal in the restaurant.
 
sure except that the smallest kifaru tipi ALONE runs almost $800 and the largest near $2000. Add a stove and thats almost another half grand depending on size.
 
My dad always used to tease me about going camping, cuz I'd brag more the harsher the conditions were. He'd say, "Ya know, once the cave man moved out of his cave and into a house, he didn't go back and sleep in his cave for a vacation". I've got one of those been there t-shirts too. I just spent two weeks in Belize; one was in the jungle in a thatched hut cuz that's all that was available in the remote place I was in, and the other in a suite on the beach, cuz they had those available there.
