OK… I admit… I’ve started to pack for Telluride. Over the weekend I finished the brewing sessions for TBF, practiced making stove-top expresso and steamed milk, inventoried my kitchen box, cleaned my jockey-box and inventoried the beer box, set-up and took down my tent in order to figure out how big of an inflatable bed I can fit in it, set-up and took down the EZ-up while brewing, filled the propane tank, made sure all the pieces and part were present for the kitchen Costco Barn, thought about how much stuff is going to be loaded inside and strapped to the top of my truck and how little space I’ll have inside to sleep as I drive to and from Telluride (I’d rather sleep inside my pick-up than set up a tent), thought about buying a trailer then told myself no-way, had a couple of beers, listened to A Prarie Home Companion, went to bed and dreamed about being at the festival barbecuing, listening to and watching the festival from camp while tapping homebrew and toasting life with all my great friends… FESTIVAAAAAAL! The fever’s beginning…
My home-away-from-home tent & sleeping gear has been packed FOR WEEKS! Just need a few more tarps and I can zip that one shut! Took all your advise Kaptain! Thanks!
i just got a second sleeping pad and next weekend is my tent setup weekend when I will play “where did I pack away those tent stakes?” game because they never end up where they are supposed to. I also need to clean my cooler, find the longjohns, maybe I will do all this under the influence of rumballs to make it a true training weekend. Only 47 more days 'til I hit the west side of the divide!!!
High My Name is Ron , and I too are a Telluride Packer :wave :wave :wave
Tent, Shower tent, Kitchen Box and set up all done . sleeping bags to go to the clearners next week
All i have to buy are extra bungees , zip ties , and spare tarps …Oh and order the Batter mix for the catfish , and I also wanted to buy a trailer but alas maybe next year along with a small solar system
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Sam! Most of my list has been tested by time but the camping portion is new and is probably is a bit lean for those who don’t travel as light. Unfortunately it does not cut/paste into the forum window from Excel very well without being a jumbled mess (or excessively long) so if anyone wants it, just send me a direct email.
Here is the list I posted under the topic “The Ultimate Packing List”
I finally found this on my old hard drive and have begun to update it. You can use this as a quote starting point. quote
