(^*_*)>~~~~~~~~*_* Hiking, camping, off the Grid <`)))))<

I'm going camping in July: Sequoia National Park. It'll be bear season! I have the essentials: tent, sleeping bag, boots, and kendama.

What do you like to pack when you head out? Want to talk about your gear? What do you never leave without?

 

Toilet paper

 

Apples, but I always forget them at home. :/

 

Bear spray, bug spray, ant spray, sibling spray, bear mace, tan spray, hair spray, sunscreen, sun spray

 

Is your spray apple scented? You can downsize a little if it is.

 

Sleeping pad. Your back will thank you.

 

I do trail running, all you need is trail running shoes, shorts,pants,a light jacket and a head lamp

 

Oh, I've always just dug a hole. That's what people tell me to do. I guess I'll try this though.

 

@Cheech_Sander okay, I always go camping in a campsite where there is an out house or they let us dig holes. But alot of outhouses because I'm in boy scouts, that is why I said toilet paper in the first place(the outhouses we normally have don't have toilet paper)

 

You still need toilet paper if you dig a hole!

 

Interested by this, so I asked my dad who was a wilderness ranger, and worked for the forest service for 40 years. he said that cat holes (digging a hole) are fine anywhere except the Whitney Trail. Around the Sierras (Inyo) that is. He also said that it is only due to the higher level of use in the Sierras that they enforce this, so I'd assume other places are lenient about it.

 

Yeah I know, I bring toilet paper Everytime I go camping. It has alot of uses so we call it ap paper or all purpose paper.
