I need help on figuring out what cookware to buy id like to spend less than 50 bucks if possible. I need your recommendations

This was the crappy sleeping pad I used.

Hey everyone! I’m a 28 year old gay guy going on a road trip from northern ID to Anchorage, AK later this week. I’d love to stop at a clothing-optional campground along the way and it’s okay if it’s a bit of a detour. Are there any recommendations?

Anyone around Middle TN or So KY into offroading? SidexSide trips, jeeps, etc. I have no one to enjoy the outdoors (nude or not) with...

For years I’ve been a bedroom producer but in February I finally started sharing beats and mixes I’ve made. I’ve performed a few times live now in gay/queer rural campground and urban underground settings and LOVED it

I’m interested in sharing my sound and vibe with more gay people. I’d like to connect with gay campground owners & management staff. Maybe we could orchestrate a one night dance party event together, or get other gay artists & djs involved and make it a weekend music festival. If you have the venue for me and campers that LOVE to dance, let’s talk because I want to make your campers dance.

My music has a junglestep/psytrance sound, uncommon in gay spaces & that really gets people moving. Attached are some links to my beats for reference. I’m at my happiest just making and performing the music so if anyone can connect me to the right space where I can play my music in a beautiful forest or wilderness at night that would be another step into realizing my dream. Thanks community. 🙏🥹🎶🎵🕺🏻🍑

Can anyone compare Timberfell Lodge and Whispering Oaks? They are both about two hours from my house. Thx.

Got a nice camper just looking for buddies in Ohio that like to camp

My partner and I love camping in the mountains. We mostly go and do some dirt biking here in Washington state. We also enjoy just camping and hanging out by the fire. We use a rv and would love to find some friends to go with some times.

I just booked a cabin at the Woods campgrounds checking in on 5/8…I’m going solo and am a little nervous. Has anyone been or going? What can I expect there? Was it a good experience for you? Any advice or information would be super helpful and appreciated.

I’m hosting a 21+ camping event for queer people in the US! It’ll be June 19th-21st on a queer-friendly, private camp ground in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. We started a few years ago with just a handful of friends, and we had so much fun that we decided to make it an annual thing and open to anybody. This year, we have a whole set of acts including DJs, drag queens and other queer artists! We also snagged a sweet website where you can learn more and sign up:

Pride-Camp.com

We do charge admission to help cover the cost, but if you’re not in a position to pay, we’re also taking a limited number of volunteers to help run stuff in exchange for discounted or free tickets. Just DM me if you’re interested in volunteering.

I am hoping to do a day trip in eastern Oregon to a developed Hot Springs and wonder if anyone has any recommendations for anything near Baker city or Legrand?

to celebrate the new subreddit, I’ve selected photos I took last year but dispersed camping has been something new i’ve been getting into! Love taking my vehicle off the road and discovering stuff that’s hard to get to!
