I mean can you believe they brought that yellow P.O.S. camping?

8/10/2013 11:48:17 PM

a guy once came on tww asking if his Honda Fit would be ok to take on the beach at Carolina Beach, so, yes, i can certainly believe that.

that's one hell of a pic. you should submit it to TheChive or some shit

I've seen that movie before. Don't worry because Randy Quaid will save us all with a drunk kamikaze run.

Meh, that's a fairly common looking cloud bank on the Outer Banks...you prolly coulda just waited 30 mins.

Although to be fair, if that one was from this afternoon's storm Wanchese & OI did get shat on pretty hard for about an hour.

our tents weren't built to the standard to withstand the torrential downpour that we encountered when we were driving away


here's another pic

I have been camping at that same campground through big storms. Hell I even have the same green tent that is in the both of those pictures. Wuss.

Last trip out there a young couple was camping right next to us in a very small tent. It was quite warm and muggy overnight. I woke early to find them both "sleeping" in the front seats of their car with the engine running to provide them A/C. They were still in there by the time I got my family up, fed and packed up. Again, what a wuss.

Get a wider angle lens...

and if you want to do a landscape panoramic to showcase clouds, maybe you should... I donno, angle up and focus on the clouds...

Never been a big fan of beach camping

Too hot, too muggy and fuck all that sand

8/11/2013 12:34:53 PM

fuck the sand is right

we had already stayed over Friday night and were gonna leave this morning, but that rolled in last night and we decided to head on out

my coworker took the pictures on his phone because my phone's battery had drained and wouldn't turn on, so I'll relay the camera comments to him

^^^We've done it in the tent a couple times, but most often pull the camper when we do beach camping. Its a lot easier tent camping in the western part of the state.

I've camped on a shoal in Oregon Inlet before.

drove from Nags Head to Hatteras Lighthouse yesterday, spent some time there, and made it back to Nags Head right when the storm hit.

I always take a few plastic grocery bags with me. I fill them with sand, tie the handles in a knot, and bury them about 4-6 inches deep. I use the handle loops to tie-off my guy lines. They make much more stable anchors than any stake in the sand.

Also, Masonboro Island FTW.

8/12/2013 1:01:33 AM

the tent stakes that are ~12" long, thin, galvanized angle iron work just fine on the beach for me

8/12/2013 8:28:09 AM

I was able to get the basic tent stakes to work, so I did not pick up any of those monster sand spikes that they suggest/sell at Oregon Inlet.

^^^bury 4 gallon jugs of water and tie your tent lines to them. Your tent won't go anywhere
