I went to the Army Surplus Store today. I wandered about and looked at things.
I wanted to buy a Goretex bivy bag - but it was $125. So I left it alone. That's a water proof cover that you use for your sleeping bag. You don't need a tent if you use one of these, just a small tarp over your bag.
I found a shelter for $19.95. But didn't buy it.
I found several chemical MRE heaters - 12 for $14.95. They might have been good.
And in the end, after some banter with the strange old woman who runs the place, I left.
I left with sweet nuthin'.
But that's okay. It gave me ideas for camping in the woods.
