Off to camp 4 days in the RAIN....
    #14316897 - 04/19/11 11:48 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Im about to leave tomorrow to go to Big South Fork in Kentucky. I've never been and heard it is BEAUTIFUL.

The only problem is that it is going to rain all 4 days and I haven't been camping in nonstop thunderstorms before. I've also never set up a tent in the rain. I hope it goes well.

Anyone have experience tent camping for 4 or more days while its raining? What can I do to make it more fun??

Is there a cabin option in the area? Maybe one with a hot tub, they make  all the difference camping in the rain..

Find well-drained high ground. Set up tent. Crack the seal on your brandy bottle. Then you're ready to go. :thumbup:

It's funny, actually, I haven't been camping on a trip where it hasn't rained for at least one day.

The second trip I took, it must have rained on and off for 3 days. We slept in a tent covered by a tarp that was tied to 4 trees. It worked out. We had a hard time finding dry wood for a fire but once we had a big enough fire, it would eat anything. When we went out to go mushroom hunting and we wore black plastic bags as ponchos to keep dry. It was annoying as hell because we made so much noise but it kept us dry for the most part. It wasn't non stop thunderstorms but we had a handful of downpours. It was wet, muddy, and gross. Lot's of mushrooms came about the next day, though. It was a lot of fun in the end.

We had some rum and a few beers. We smoked some salvia (back when it was legal in our state) and just chilled. It was an experience for sure.

In reality, it's all what you make of it.

Just make sure you stay safe.

Have fun, and best of luck! Try to stay dry. (And bring a few changes of clothes in case it's inevitable to get wet)
:cheers:
