Favorite Luxury Item?

toilet paper

I don’t know why, but these little cups of apple sauce taste so darn good when backpacking - it’s the biggest waste of weight to haul what is essentially all water up a hill, but they are on the must have list for me. Lol

I also always take a tiny am/fm radio and ear plug as a sound machine at night.

An extra pair of socks and underwear so so good to put on clean socks 4 or 5 days into a 10 day hunt. Also bring a tiny vial of camp suds to clean the other pairs if we find ourselves at a good water source.

I'm most impressed by the floor rug. Nice touch!

Buddy. You have not experienced luxury until you’ve woken up in a canvas tent, put your feet down on a rug, and proceeded to drink coffee next to a crackling wood stove in September.

You gotta graduate to the squeeze!! So much easier to consume

I love my crocs. Nothing like letting your feet air out in the middle of the day or after a long days hunt.

Backcountry- green chile jerky, Reese’s peanut butter eggs

Base camp- camp shoes, cot and foam pad

What is your favorite luxury item? Something you don't need, but really enjoy during your backcountry pursuits?

Here I thought dragging a collapsible stove, helinox chair and an inflatable pillow up the hill was luxurious. Some of you guys probably have basecamps that smell of leather bound books and rich mahogany

Lots of Fruit snacks

Red bull. Hate the extra weight on the way in, worth every oz when I take that first sip. A friend of mine's son hauled some cans of soda into the Chinese wall in the Bob and was selling em for 5 bucks a can, I'd have been a customer!

A French press so I can make coffee how I like to.

Good coffee is satisfying to make, and a huge morale boost.

 

[Mosby]

A mini propane lantern that not only provides light but warms the tent up a bit on a cold morning.

I also like to carry a foot long sub in with me. Gives me something to look forward too for dinner on the hike in.

I got a good buddy that hauls a French press and good coffee on EVERY. SINGLE. HUNT.

Extra medicated Dude Wipes

I have been seen in the backcountry with a full size pillow. Like the one right off my bed.

If I have to go light weight luxury, then Helinox cot
If I’m going to sneak weight past my pilot, then Airframes Alaska collapsible chair, the BEST glassing chair if you plan to sit for a long time.
But I would never sneak weight past my pilot. But I do sneak weight past my husband
