EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
« Thread Started on Dec 20, 2012, 2:36pm »

As we head into a new year and we all begin to once again get stricken with Sasquatch fever, I thought it would be helpful to create a one stop shop for all camping/food related questions. These types of questions seem to come up quite frequently and I wanted to provide a place where both noobs and vets could get the rundown from the boarder with the most knowledge on the subjects. So, with that in mind I placed a call to the board’s resident expert. The following transcript was taken directly from my interview with the luggable loo toting, steak nacho making, walmart shopping legend, danl46. Enjoy!

First things first, what type of supplies should one bring with them to the gorge to ensure a wonderful camping experience?

I will have a stove and possibly a grill too.

I have a folding oven that sits on a camp stove....I can even do pizza on a stone in it...probably won't at Sasquatch though, unless a few people are really up for it.

I used to have one of the Vortex hand crank blenders and it made great pina coladas and frozen margs....lot of work, but got easier the more you made.

That’s all very useful information, but what about sleeping arrangements?

Apr 25, 2012, 2:49pm, danl46 wrote:

I sleep in the back of my pickup w/canopy, in shade and with a fan for fresh air...very comfy even in heat.

Sounds great, but I drive a car, any pointers for those of us that don’t own a pickup?

Gotcha.
I’ve heard mixed reviews on the showers that are available, any thoughts?

May 9, 2012, 12:08am, danl46 wrote:

I just picked up some no water washing stuff at REI

Interesting, but isn’t that stuff for pots and pans? No need to answer that.
Would you recommend not using the on-site showers and just bring your own?

Feb 17, 2012, 1:13pm, danl46 wrote:

Yeah, I'm definitely going with the sun shower and enclosure...

What will one of these solar showers set me back?

May 3, 2012, 12:51pm, danl46 wrote:

Best price I found for a Coleman 5 gallon solar shower was at WalMart. It was only $8.

Wow! That’s a hell of a deal. I guess owning your own shower beats waiting in line. I’ve heard the lines can be pretty horrendous. Is there any truth to this?

Mar 25, 2012, 12:06pm, danl46 wrote:

...btw, speaking of shower lines..saranater...I am bringing a sun shower....could be talked into sharing...

Now that was just creepy, dude.

Apr 12, 2012, 11:27am, danl46 wrote:

Did I mention that Walmart has a solar shower for $8 that I am going to pick up...

Yes, right before that creepy statement about sharing it. Anyway, thanks for getting this discussion back on topic.

Apr 25, 2012, 8:23pm, danl46 wrote:

…also the best price on a marine battery to keep everything running...

Got this and I have an inverter to go with it...means lights, music and a fan for sleeping.

Everyone talks about how windy The Gorge is. How would you suggest folks deal with it?

Apr 25, 2012, 2:29pm, danl46 wrote:

From my experience in the very windy lower gorge, using lots of tie downs and using bungies as shock absorbers kept my scene from blowing over. Mine cannot be lowered but after the shock cording I only had my chairs blowing away, until I nailed them down.

Bungees as shock absorbers, how does that work?

Mar 25, 2012, 12:21pm, danl46 wrote:

Yeah, you use 10" to 14" nails/spikes and tie a bungie cord to the top....then run the guy line through the hooks and tighten....when the wind blows the spring of the cord takes the hard pull....or you could get marine line snubbers but I think they are for much greater masses.

We know how windy it gets but I’ve also heard it rains?

May 23, 2012, 2:26pm, danl46 wrote:

The best way to prevent rain is to prepare for it.

May 20, 2012, 3:16pm, danl46 wrote:

And, this Is Washington so if you don't like the weather wait a half hour and carry sun-screen in the pocket of your rain coat.

Sun-screen and a raincoat any other specific gear you can think of that may help folks be prepared for the weather?

I suppose there is always vajazzling if nothing else is left, hehe

I could be missing something, but I fail to see how that would help anyone.

I think girls use their brains these days.

You’re getting creepy again, dude. Moving on…let’s talk food.

Mar 24, 2012, 4:13pm, danl46 wrote:

I have a stove top oven so I can do nachos or pizza, nachos are easier, but pizza is awesome.

Ooh, nachos. I love nachos!

Mar 25, 2012, 3:18pm, danl46 wrote:

Maybe Steak nachos

Steak nachos sound like a wonderful idea. What appliances might one need to cook nachos while camping?

May 16, 2012, 11:45am, danl46 wrote:

I will bring my little Weber gas BBQ and use it for nachos so no need to deconstruct, or leave un-constructed.

A Weber sure would work well for cooking up a juicy steak.

May 16, 2012, 11:49am, danl46 wrote:

Cooks chicken the best!!

I prefer my chicken straight from the can. No cooking necessary. Anyway, what about breakfast?

Apr 26, 2012, 7:28pm, danl46 wrote:

I'll stick with wake & bake for breakfast.

That’s it?

Mar 25, 2012, 11:40am, danl46 wrote:

I Always have the makings for coffee, could help out a couple of nearby campers

It’s comforting to know that there are individuals out there willing to offer up some help.

Mar 30, 2012, 5:53pm, danl46 wrote:

I am an Eagle Scout also, HG, and I am only speaking in terms of "Be Prepared." That is, being prepared to crap somewhere besides next to someone's tent if you can't make it to the portables for some reason.

That just took a bizarre turn. I’m guessing the port-a-john situation must be pretty bleak if you have to resort to crapping in random locations throughout the campground? I was always under the assumption that there were more than enough Honey Buckets scattered throughout the grounds.

Mar 30, 2012, 3:19pm, danl46 wrote:

Re: the private Honey Bucket, I'll be bringing my trusty Luggable Loo, not fancy but it works...also a shower bag and poles to set up an enclosure...I could share...

Luggable Loo, what the heck is that?

Mar 30, 2012, 3:39pm, danl46 wrote:

Google "luggable loo," it's a 5gal bucket with a toilet seat. You use plastic bags in it. It's cheap and relatively comfortable and sure beats waiting in the porta potty line...

Huh, your own private shitter. That sounds convenient. I noted you offered to share. What if someone was using the Luggable Loo and you had to poo, where would you go?

May 15, 2012, 11:47am, danl46 wrote:

In a pan.

Now that’s just downright filthy. No real human would do such a thing.

May 18, 2012, 5:58pm, danl46 wrote:

You'll see how real I am when you taste a delicious steak nacho...

I don’t think I’d be willing to eat any nachos made by someone who poos in a pan. Since the discussion has sort have moved back on the topic of food I’ve got a question about alcohol. I’ve heard that beers are outrageously priced inside the venue, like $12 a pop. Do you have any suggestions on how to sneak some in?

Apr 26, 2012, 2:17pm, danl46 wrote:

Booze enemas!!

WTF?

May 19, 2012, 5:03pm, danl46 wrote:

Three beers!!

Good god that is disturbing. Did you really just suggest that folks shove three full beers up their ass?

Mar 27, 2012, 12:05pm, danl46 wrote:

The entry searches are not really up to TSA standards....

May 21, 2012, 11:36am, danl46 wrote:

They don't do strip or cavity searches.

No offense, but $36 sounds pretty reasonable when you explain the alternative.
This has been extremely informative and helpful. I greatly appreciate you spending the time to share your thoughts and ideas. I’m sure anyone who reads this will feel the same. With that being said, I was wondering if you had any parting words of wisdom or bits of advice?

Mar 27, 2012, 1:52pm, danl46 wrote:

...bit of advice...hang on to the ways of youth as long as you can or you will get to be as old as me and actually BE OLD...

I am sorely tempted to lock this shit up right now and move it to the Hall of Fame.

How do you dispose of this revolutionary Luggable Loo?

Mar 30, 2012, 3:55pm, danl46 wrote:

I meant shower share, not the loo, lol, and it has well sealed bags and you through them in the trash. I'm guessing there will be several worse things in the Sasquatch garbage. Also, the back-splash is not bad.

Hmmm, ok. Any other thoughts to leave us with?

I must have missed or mentally blocked out that post where danl turned one of my favourite songs into a song about poop.
