Was looking for input on particulate masks. I live in territory where forst fire is a definite possiblity along with other dust possibilities depending on if I am in the city or not. I have a 9 year old, and nothing fits his face well. I was looking for something moderate in size so that 3 do...
Temp control was the big thing I was thinking, and enough water to do a good wash. Now a purpose built trailer might even allow you to print. Pre heat water with roof passive solar heater then heat the rest of the way with on demand propane heater, or drop the temp with a cold water mix. Contact...
A thought. Check in at some colleges along the way with photography programs. Or check with some photo clubs. What you are talking about makes me think back to the way images of canvas tents of old and a civil war battle field. I know it is not the exact answer to your question.
Cedar. where I live I have access to it all over the forest. Dry Old mans beard works great too. For the prepare at home cotton balls and petroleum jelly. If I am desperate I look under my 9 yo son's seat for a few corn chips. they work in a pinch if they are dry. for anytime other then...
Thanks for this. Am allergic to a few of the yellow stripey things. It is like the larger version of my fruit fly trap, and will make life around camp when they get bad much calmer.
Just got our new to us Frontier. My son had been reading some books from his Abuela and he wanted to name it Huitzilin a humming bird from the book. I wanted Tlaloc (Aztec god of rain and water) in the hopes of a little more control of the rain while we are out. Wife picked Huitzilin and it...

Our son draws and creates things from the stuff he finds on hikes.
Games
And we always have a couple different kites with us. They are something I have carried for years when paddling or backpacking, the soft parafoils...
We have started basic compass skills with the cubs. Fortunately we meet at a camp and have topo maps of the area which gives a great place to teach the skills. This year I hope to get a course set up for them.
There is a used shop here that almost always has some decent old bogens and gitzos aluminum work horses with basic heads. A little heavy compared with some carbon fiber modern ones. but the ones I have have seen a lot and lasted the long haul. One is 25+ though it now has a new ball head.
The camera you are willing to carry. That is your good first camera. I personally would say get a decent quality camera (I have carried nikon since 1986) but that is not an endorsement, just the system I landed with, and have been happy. I have looked at some of the newer systems especially...
Which pack did you get? I switched to a pack about 2 years ago. It has forced me to pare down what I carry on day hikes as the non-photo areas are smaller. I settled on a lowe pro whistler 350. carries all the photo gear I need plus a tripod. First aid kit, jacket, water bottle, tarp and...
Just replaced My 97 Jeep XJ with a 2010 Frontier SE CC 4x4 with 6sp Manual. Still getting used to the size and do not have any real photos of it yet. Mostly Stock. Has a cap on the back. I got very tired of lifting my Plano boxes off the Jeeps roof rack.
thoughts for moving forward in no...
Pack more band aids and cleaning stuff and snacks. I put more band aids on little wounds when our son was 3-4 than I have between 5 and 8. not that he gets scraped and cut less. he just cares less. :)
If you can find a small pack that will fit their water bottle and a snack, and a whistle so...
