Last Weekend’s Waterborne Camping Trip

View Umbagog Lake Day 1 in a larger map

Last weekend, me, LBK, Emily and Zac went camping in NH on Lake Umbagog. We spent two nights, one on the shore and one on an island in the lake. This has nothing to do with the LT, except for the fact that I discovered that the solar charger really does not work on overcast days… We were on the water for a few hours and it did not suck up much energy. On the other hand we were in the shade for the entire rest of the day… Nonetheless I may need to pick up an additional unit, if only for the sake of having a backup in the event of two cloudy days in a row. Here are some pictures of our sweet camps…

Clif bars

Got another shipment of food today. We each will have 2 clif bars/day and 1 pack of cliff shot blocks/day for the whole trip.

In addition, we each have about 20 freeze dried dinners, a handful of freeze dried breakfasts, about 50 servings of instant oatmeal, about $100 of assorted nuts, berries and M&Ms. Plus the pemmican. We’re thinking of making some homemade jerky. Hopefully this all adds up to 5000 calories/day…
