A few things I like to take is a ax, gun, fishing pole, camera , 4 man tent, cot, sleeping bag. Some 50/50 cord or rope. The all around blue tarp. Potatoes. Fire starters that work when wet. 5 gal. buckets to pack things in , then you have something to sit on and hold water in as well. Bug spray. Camp grill to set over the fire. Food depends on how long I will be out there. A small back pack, knife. Hip boots. That's about it unless I am out hunting. Oil for the plane, some tools. Patch kit.

Camping is a 2 man dome tent, high density foam pad and my Wiggy's sleeping bag. Camp chair is the 5 gal bucket I keep my gear in (also handy for hauling water ).

I use an old Colman Apex detached burner stove. So far never had a problem with it. But it's also kind of fragile and getting pretty beat up. I'll probably replace it soon.

I am an east coast C-150 pilot. I think the 150 is the right plane choice for me. I love the economy and it is great for just me. Anyways, its obviously not a backcountry bush plane. i do take it too many 2500 ft grass strips on hot and humid days. Does just fine. Any tips on if I ever go westward with it. Can i get into places like JC and places such as that?

Your C150 will do just fine in places like Johnson Creek.

What's your ideal camping weekend like? I'd like to read some of your experiences and tips.

One that lasts a week!

I'm looking at getting a Kindle, as it would be smaller and lighter then the paperbacks I usually take on an extended trip. However, I'm not sure how good they are for use as a fire starter.
