Quote:How feasible is it for a Floridian to find some mountains to camp in? Is that a thing at all?

 

It's feasible, in about a six hour drive from Jacksonville.

Not hard at all...if you don't mind driving across a state or two to get to them.

I live in the mountains.... easy to do around here

Sugarloaf Mountain is the fifth highest named point in the state of Florida. At 312 feet above sea level it is also the highest point on the geographic Florida Peninsula. The mountain is in Lake County, near the town of Clermont

 

However,

 

<span>According to our dictionary, a mountain is "a natural elevation of the earth's surface rising more or less abruptly to a summit, and attaining an altitude greater than that of a hill, usually greater than <b>2000 ft.</b> (<b>610 m</b>)</span>

 

<span>so technically no Mts in Florida</span>

 

<span>However..... you don't need Mountains to camp...</span>

<span><span>Camping on the beach happens all over the east coast... in Jacksonville Florida several places such as;</span></span>

Cumberland Island is a beautiful place to primitive camp. Bring purifying tabs and be sure you can boil water. 

 

Wild horses, the beach, it's really a gem.

I believe the highest point in Florida is an overpass.

I thought it was one of the trash mountains. 

 

I saw the one in Baker County the other day, suckers lol. All of Duval's trash in a giant mountain in the woods.

 

Then there's the ones off 95 in south FL...

 

Only other place I can think of is the bridge in Tampa.

Quote:We Camp at least once a year, right now we stick to non-primative sites cause the kids are young but I used to do primative camping prekids days. I kinda like having at least a portable near by in my old age, don't judge.

My husband really wants to do primitive camping but absolutely must sleep with a CPAP machine so we have to go somewhere that has electricity at the site. Thankfully at least a porta john is usually close by. I did plenty of dumping in the woods in the Army and I'm not in my 20's anymore. We always find a place in the mountains here. One of the things I do love about NC.

Batteries and an inverter would solve your husband's problem.

 

As you get older, leaning on a tree while dumping sure helps.

He has looked into inverters and batteries. Not cheap for the- very sadly- little amount of camping we do. If we were going several times a year we think it would be worth the cost. We only get to go once a year.

 

I'm not sure about leaning against a tree. Hmmm..... knowing my luck it would be disastrous because that's just how it is with me. I can trip on a blade of grass I'm so clumsy. When my ex was deployed to Iraq he took one of those folding chairs you carry in a bag with him. He cut a hole in the seat so he would have a restful place to contemplate life in the middle of hell.  :thumbsup:

For a once-per-year thing, then yes it is a big expense.

 

As far as leaning against the tree... it's worked for me, and I do believe that I'm way older than you.  The key is to drop trough all the way down to your ankles.  The technique is best for dooky.  My wife, for "liquid relief" prefers the "crab" technique..

 

She just smacked me for posting her restroom techniques on a public forum.

Hahahaha. Good for her! But I get what you're saying. Have you ever heard of a Shewee? It's a real thing. Not sure how effective it would be because we'd still have to drop trou but they're sent with females being deployed to the sandbox.

OK, gotta ask before I go to google.  What is a Shwee?  This has to be good...

Some models are just a catch can, others have a tubing attachment that simulates the male anatomy. Let's the ladies write their names in the sand.

Yeah, the one that looks like the real thing is called the wizzinator. Guys used to use them to fake drug tests.
