I'm tired. I've been tired for weeks if not months. Luckily, my tiredness today is different from my previous tiredness. Today's tiredness comes from spending four days camping with my family and a bunch of friends rather than economic gloom and employment doom.


Blast camp.


Wildflowers!


Making fire.


Success!


New friends.


Teaching.


Time to go. Yes, she wore high heels the entire time.

The Texas Hill Country had record rains over the winter so the resulting wildflowers were AMAZING!

Sidenote: anyone who plans on heading off to the hills when TSHTF hasn't done enough camping. Our camp potty was used by ten females. Trust me, you don't want to know how many times a day I had to clean it out and haul the waste away!

As long as they were Vibram high heels ...

Seriously, though, there is no better way to "reset and restart" than a grand camping adventure. (Or in my case, walking in wild country until my legs fall off.)

P.S., continuously adding campfire charcoal to the potty really does wonders in eliminating odour and making cleanup a trifle less nasty.

Hey, that's a good idea. We were using clumping kitty litter. That stuff weighs a ton and is easily maxed out in fluid absorption... I'll try the charcoal trick in the fall when we go back.

Looks good. Seems everyone had a good time and learned something.

If you can keep the urine separated from the urine, often easier for men than women, the smells and disposal are much more manageable. A little urine mixed in does little harm but a liquid mix in inevitably anaerobic and quite smelly. Often the scent can only be momentarily overcome by perfume and formaldehyde and the result is sometimes worse than the waste alone.

Nice pictures Blast, it’s always great to get away from all the garbage we hear in the news and see on TV plus current events. You may can start fires with rubbing sticks together and eat plants picked out of the wild but when you can do all this in high heels and wearing a dress and make it look easy then you’ve reached the next level But seriously it looks like you guys had a great time and learned something’s as well. Keep on exploring.

Looks like wonderful "quality time" with the family.

As long as you're not allergic to something, those spring wildflowers sure are pretty!

Oh, horror, the images... Blast in high heels and a dress...


There are few better ways to relax than car camping with a fire. Why anyone would want to do that in high heels is beyond me, but given the comfort level available when car camping there certainly isn't any trouble doing so. And she sure looks pretty...

WoW! Guide Gear Galore! That's very reassuring to me as,I've invested quite a bit in Gary Olen's SPG,& have only used 1/3 of it so far.How ever it's done,Camping is ALWAYS Cool!Look's like alot of Fun,Thanx for posting the Pics!

I'm guessing 75% of my gear came from the Sportsman's Guide, maybe more.
