Vicks Peak and San Mateo Mountain
Open-minded, liberal-leaning 40-yo cis white male seeking friendship in the #FortWorth area. The internet makes it easy to find "friends" that comment and like my posts, but I'm wanting to have lunch and build a relationship with someone nearby. I have been deconstructing my faith over the last few years, so I would prefer to avoid highly religious people for my own mental health.
I'm kind of a basic white guy, but I have had friends of different faiths, color, identity, and nationality in the past. I would love to continue that trend.

Follow-up #camping #gear question!
Thanks again for the help. After some reflection on previous solo-camping with toddler I realise a key thing to yr round happiness is a better sleeping pad.
The high R-value ones we have are bulky. So I'm considering a strong somewhat "lightweight/compact" duo pad*.
Combined with a <2kg tent (Hubba 2p) I'm ok transporting this.
Any ideas / experiences with this setup?

Where are all the nomad / camping / rv people?
Hi! Thanks so much for all your recommendations and thoughts!
I think our decision will come down to these very similar (price, weight, pack-size, quality of tent life) tents: MSR Elixir 2 and Big Agnes Blacktail 2
They're heavier and bulkier than I hoped, but angry-toddler-resilience and price are limits.
Alternatives are Big Agnes C Bar 2 and S2S Alto TR2 Plus
If I can pick your brain again: any positives or negatives on these?

Can you help find me a new tent for cycling & walking trips?
My current "compact & light" tent is 20yrs old. And last nights somewhat wet camping with toddler shows that it's beyond repair. Since the year 2k I've also got updated requirements (and budget!)...
Required:
 -compact & light to transport (walking/cycling)
 -fits one adult & one toddler
 -somewhat affordable (subjective)
Nice to have:
 -able to set up outside first
 -freestanding
This bird *really* wants to get inside my #meshtastic node. It's been going at it for two hours, even though I showed it there was nothing interesting inside.
We've started calling the node "BirdBox" now. :)
I didn't think my kids cared about my radio projects, but the last time we went camping I caught one of them explaining to a new friend how all the nodes talked to each other and passed on messages, how we could use them to make sure we don't get lost, and how we could even make them beep if we needed someone's attention. The talk finished with a tour of the solar powered BirdBox.
"Wow, your dad must be really smart!"
"Yeah, he is!! But he's not very wise. We once convinced him to put tomato sauce in his socks!"
Before the onslaught of California wildfires forced me out of the mountains, I had a blissful 48 hours camping at Brightman Flat in the Sierras. My site was right next to the Stanislaus River, and it was pure bliss. (More about the hike soon...)
I landed here on Labor Day, and it was practically empty. A stark contrast to the circus and hordes of people at nearby Pinecrest Lake. Just drive a few miles away from the crowds, and you'll find peace...

Good morning Fediverse! #camping
This is our adventure mobile. It's a bit old, getting very tight with our little one and all of the #camping gear but it brings us places. Thank you you little gray cucumber for being our amazing car! 😃
And off we go  #camping! 🏕️😃
The car is full as always and we're looking forward to having some relaxing, chill days with little adventure trips.
First time going on a longer camping trip with the little one. Feeling excited 🤩
