2015 Bag Night Challenge

sixstringsteve · Jan 4, 2015

2015 edition.

Challenge: log all of your nights you slept in your sleeping bag outdoors this year (whether under the stars or in a tent). Hotel rooms don't count, even if you have a sleeping bag. No prize or anything just the satisfaction of keeping track of the nights you camped.

I'm totally tied with Steve for the lead. That's rad.

Where did you go? Post up.

Silver Island Mountains with Eric and Hans. Would have been a two nighter, but it was too damned cold for that nonsense.

very cool. I never imagined the salt flats to be a particularly warm place to camp, but the silver island mountains are on my list one day.

Do truck bed campers count?

I think if a shelter has a door with either a knob or a lock on it, it only counts as half a night.

You can define camping however you want to. The important thing is that we all get out more and keep track of it.

Let's see some pics of your truck bed camper!

It was only like 15 degrees so not bad. Sweated all night long in my bag. I never really mentioned it but I love my Mt. Hardware crazy legs bag.
I'm on the board!

Your nuts! That is more effort than most, in a bag and awesome. You should count it.

Done. Two nights in a miserable hotel in Torrey count as one bag night (but only because we were out on dirt all day), so I'm counting myself at two total bag nights and tied with Steve again, woohoo!

Did you sleep in a sleeping bag in these hotels?

Hey look man, I wanted to camp, the wife wouldn't let me. It's the intent that counts, right? :guilty:

It's not cheating. It's, uh, "Creative bag night allocation".

Yeah, that's what it is.

Got my first night last night up Lake Fork, I don't know how cold it was but it was pretty dang cold.

Good thing she did or you would be whining about the temperature
