replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @Hiker_Steve He looks like he is about to run away. Stay Shemp it's fun! #GearMeOut

replying to @Hiker_Steve @Hiker_Steve @t_jh2009 @UST_Survival It's an action shot! #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1: Great question, out in the woods, I'd have to say Toilet paper. Don't ask! #GearMeOut

Tent stakes. On those windy days when I want to pull all the guy lines out. Rocks, branches, nearby trees…

replying to @Hiker_Steve @Hiker_Steve @UST_Survival I know that feeling! Surprisingly (to me anyways) snow is the best. #GearMeOut

A1. It's not really a MacGyvering, but the first time I tied my @UST_Survival paracord around a rock and heaved it… https://t.co/8n7YyMI1AF

replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @UST_Survival And also on those wooden platforms that tent stakes don't work on. #GearMeOut

replying to @Womynofthewoods @Womynofthewoods Those are a thing of beauty! No wonder you kept them #GearMeOut

replying to @Hiker_Steve @Hiker_Steve @UST_Survival Out here, ferns and moss can come in handy! #GearMeOut

replying to @Hiker_Steve @Hiker_Steve @UST_Survival Oh yah! Had to do that in Manning Park last summer. #GearMeOut

replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @Hiker_Steve Yeah we wouldn't try that with our southern snow, aka sand. #GearMeOut

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @UST_Survival That's a good skill to know. Don't tie it right and the rock hits your head. Don't ask… https://t.co/p8Dwjd2Cng

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1: sock drying rack out of sticks, other than that nothing. My gear seems to be holding out well. *knock on wood* #GearMeOut

replying to @Hiker_Steve @Hiker_Steve @WildWithinHer You probably know this for the same reason I know the bottom part of a sail is called a Boom. #GearMeOut

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @Hiker_Steve @UST_Survival Haven’t had to try that. yet… #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival @Hiker_Steve No, #Shemp was just waking up for tonight's #GearMeOut. 😸

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival I can't give away my secrets. LOL. How about old socks, leaves (Careful) and even sand will work. #GearMeOut

replying to @Womynofthewoods @Womynofthewoods First, that is so cool. Second, why did you need clothes pin in the woods? Asking seriously. :-) #GearMeOut

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott That is definitely unique, is it made out of duct tape? #GearMeOut

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @coasthikergirl @UST_Survival Interesting. The smoother the better. #GearMeOut

Q2: One of your tent poles has broken while on a 3 day trip, how are you going to fix it? #GearMeOut


replying to @Hiker_Steve @Hiker_Steve @coasthikergirl @UST_Survival Yeeesssss. #GearMeOut
