Little Weekend Mil-Camp

[housil]

Last weekend I spent at a nice camp site

in an orchard, it is too hot and dry to camp in the woods..

As we hadn´t any rain for now three month (!), I decided to bring just my EBNS (Enhanced Bed Net System) and a cot with me

Nice night scenery with lanterns (Feuerhand, Coleman)

"Kitchen"

with 3 gal. US 1970 coffee container

BBQ

Kitchen equipment

Mermite container used as fridge

Chow line, home fries

My lunch

Great pictures once again Housil. These outings look fantastic.

That large coffee vessel looks an awful lot like it might hold another amber colored and possibly carbonated liquid.

Never seen a EBNS before. Very neat. How is it sleeping in there? It looks pretty close to just a bedroll on the hard ground as far as connection to nature. Sadly, I'm in such bad shape, I probably couldn't bend enough to work the zippers.

How is it sleeping in there?

Great! We had a great sky to watch with lots of shooting starts that night. there comes also a rain fly with it, to give you full cover (I used in January at -6°C (20F) )

That is really cool. My parents have a 4 season room which is all glass walls and ceiling and it's nice to lay down at night with all lights off and watch the stars as they live far away from the city with very little light pollution. The EBNS setup is even better. Those mummy-sleeping bags are very impressive with temperature ratings below freezing. I, myself, have never actually used one to camp in the winter but I have some buddies that do every year.

Seems a little dangerous though if it snows in the middle of the night. You might awake that morning to find yourself entombed in snow.

I did it once - on purpose

Haha, that's fantastic. And, the best part ... No Mosquitoes.
