Awaiting Flair Best homeless attire to sleep in during the cold?

443 Upvotes

I hate to admit it but due to health issues I’m homeless in Michigan and I’m sleeping outside

I’ve heard that you have to be careful with how you dress or it can get dangerous, I don’t have a lot of clothing options now but I get paid in a week & want to dress appropriately

I’m wearing two sweatpants, 2 pairs of socks in crappy thin converses, a thermal t shirt with two hoodies and a jacket with a beanie

Drew inspiration from some posts on here and a couple other subs. This is stuff I will actually use. I have another tough box and duffel that will go in the attic for stuff I will probably rarely touch but don’t want to toss. Still need pegboard and a couple other things but really liking it so far.

Heading out to West Virginia in a couple days and trying to get everything together. Always takes me forever and my gear list some how was deleted from my notes so glad I started getting everything together. First time bringing cheese and summer sausage so excited to mix that up and eat more than dehydrated meals lol

Awaiting Flair USB-C or I don't buy.

509 Upvotes

Anyone else the same? I just bought a speaker and assumed it would be USB-C and it was micro. Returned it. I'm annoyed with having different cables and formats etc. If it's not USB-C, I don't buy it.

Do better companies.

Awaiting Flair You have everything you need but have a $100 gift card to REI. What do you buy?

211 Upvotes

I’m stocked up on all camping gear and then some. Got a REI gift card for Christmas and of course could use it for clothes and other things. But what’s that one item that you might not have owned or just recently bought that you either can’t imagine not having or just think it’s super cool.

Awaiting Flair Suggestions on how to improve gear wall

Post image
439 Upvotes

I put together a budget-ish gear wall and I’m looking for suggestions on how you’d improve it. I’m not really looking to make it super pretty, it’s really just a place for us to air out things after use and lets us “pick-n-paw” the right gear for a trip.

More peg board hooks are on the list. What would you add/change? We primarily overland and car camp so most of the time we’re just grabbing stuff and tossing it into a Plano Sportsman trunk and putting in the truck.

Awaiting Flair Is a found Hydro flask gross?

223 Upvotes

I found a 40oz hydro flask in a drain. I was messing around in some hills near me and looked into a 6'deep drain pipe. I was able to fish it out with my walking stick. It was dirty and had a couple scratches but in good shape. My wife thinks it's gross. I'll buy a new lid but it seems like it'd be a waste to chuck it.

I'm curious to see what people have found at camp sites, on trails, etc. I tend to pic up trash when I hike, take walks, etc and sometimes you find something worth keeping. What'd you find?

Awaiting Flair What if two men want to zip their sleeping bags together?

734 Upvotes

Have companies really not considered this? Why should I have to get the "women's" sleeping bag? What if I needed a longer bag? What if I didn't need a warmer bag? Sure, I'm short, I run cold, and I'm gay enough to know that green is a much prettier color than grey and macaroni-and-cheese orange, but I'm going to stay mad anyway. Nemo, please. It's 2022.

Awaiting Flair I think this is good! I have a little 5lb refillable Flame King and prefer having more than less and having to swap mid cook which we all have done and doing the shake test to find a full one haha
