[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5605595, member: 20060"] This past weekend, I decided to return for some more maintenance, decided to clear the leaves and plant some grass to see if it would dry the soil up a bit, figured the grass would help evaporate the moisture vs a layer of wet leaves, I guess we will see. I didn't want the area to be easily seen from the outside so started about 15-20' back from the entrance, which is where I'll be setting up camp anyway. It was not supposed to rain so brought along some edger bricks to make a fire to burn off some leaves and the willow oak branch piles I had left previously, they are as bad as briars so don't want them around the camp. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/dljj8wV.jpg[/IMG] Also brought a better tent, for those wondering, yes they're great. It rained for almost three hours on the second day and it kept me, and the bed of the truck dry. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/LsT9Kit.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8d2UgeB.jpg[/IMG] This time I decided to bring my kitchen, figured bacon and eggs would be a good lunch or brunch. Blackstone worked great, and even though it didn't make the kettle scream, it was hot enough for some coffee from a pour over filter. Though right now I think it's overkill for just me, I may stick with sandwiches and or MREs but I'll keep trying it for a bit see if it changes my mind.
