41 Camping Hacks That Are Borderline Genius

After last year's rain event; I have broken down and purchased a high quality rain suit. With that, the boots, winter coat and hammock I should be set now.

[Soulmate]

I'm just glad my tent withstood the torrential downpour for 36 hours... thanks to Max bear, who owns a tent repair kit. I thought I was fubar!!

[icantdrv55]

Pretty good list. We learned quite a bit from last year's Mountain Jam. My brother and I both went out and got rain suits afterwards. We also got a bit better tying our gear down to the hand truck or wagon. +

I've considered looking at the portable showers as the line for the showers at Mountain Jam was ridiculous.

I'd add the following:

Camp stove
Propane
Blocks to level out the camp stove or table.

I'd love to be able to join you all for Mountain Jam again this year, but the dates didn't work out. We're going to Vibes and Peach Fest this year.

[crewfan]

It was nice to meet you and your brother. May be next year then.

[icantdrv55]

We will definitely try for next year.

[Nate]

Anyone know if they check ID when searching cars?

[Soulmate]

No. They don't check your ID.

[maxbear]

I will be certain to bring the repair kit along this year it certainly came in handy with all that rain.and it WILL rain.
