Anza Borrego January 2017

I was debating a heater, but then that means I have to carry propane. Figured I'd get the right camping gear first and go from there. Honestly, my upper body was staying plenty warm in my 30 degree bag, it was my feet that kept making me wake up cold. Too much empty space down at the bottom of the sleeping bag and not warm enough socks.

Oh, I just got my portable heated shower as well. Can't wait to test it out before Anza. The portable heater takes the small propane bottle you already bring during camp anyways so why not a heater. I'm using the same propane bottle for the shower so not much more equipment. I learned a lot from DV camping.

I'm trying to phase out the propane tanks to save on space, but I need to get my stove fixed so I stop trying to light the deserts and canyons on fire with it. hahah. My little rocket stove works, almost like a jet boil but not quite as quick. Not sure how long one of those tanks lasts or whether I can cook a burger over it though, so I need to do some testing with it.

If I can figure out the right amount of boiling hot water vs what's in the tank, I'll be happy, hahah.

Let me get this straight. No more broken cords in the tent poles, no more fighting with the kids or dog who always want to run across the tent while you are inserting the poles, and no more origami trying to get everything back in the text bag? That's brilliant! I just sent the link to my wife for my Christmas list.

Takes me 2 mins to put up, 2 mins to take down. Takes longer to put it back in the bag and my 7 1/2 year helps pop the poles into place.

In for camping, but may continue on through fish creek to the primitive sites (toilets for the lady). Then will meet back up on Sunday morning. I have a fire tray as well.

We may end up at those sites or in two groups with at least one group at those sites

Your stove could be our campfire! Lol! That was ridiculous! Coming from the Philippines, having to boil water for a warm bucket just to pour on you cause no shower, you need about half of your waterport to be hot water in order to have warm water. Boom, problem solve. So you still need a bunch of propane bottle. I have a coleman one burner stove or I can cook over the campfire and not worry about the stove. Got the dutch oven.

Nice! Do you think the official site at fish creek could handle all these rigs? Or we going to need to split up two different areas

It can handle this amount no problem at all...I've seen TW stuff just about
40-50 rigs up in that mug. It's a pretty large area for sure.

If I need another tent, you guys sold me on this one. I found a video of the setup.

I haven't tried it with 2 people, so I have to do one corner at a time usually, but yeah it's about that easy. I'm 6'1" and I can ALMOST stand up in the middle of it.
 
I'm in for camping. Might head out Friday though. Not sure never been there before maybe I'll get lost and you guys can make a weekend out of finding me!
