I find it is a hassle packing everything I need for a pipe, but I do regret not packing and preparing for a smoke....nothing like a campfire and a good smoke....sitting around a fire drinking beer and building a bonfire with a pipe

Prepack 3/4 pipes and throw them in a nice traveling case. I assume a lighter is not 'additional' equipment for a camping trip and you can tamp with anything you find at the campsite.

Got a Solo Stove? They're real nice for just having a "campfire" without having to go anywhere.

You're right Scott.
I bought a large (4' diameter) fire pit. It is actually just the top out of an old boiler that was cut off with three legs attached. It is perfect for me as I can throw big chunks of wood in there with no damage as it is 1/4" steel. I placed it down near the barn, about 75' away and during the cool/cold months, I spend a lot of time next to it and cut wood for it during the rest of the year.
Perfect for cigars, pipes, bourbon, lies, etc.

Ever since my wife and I had our second kid a few months ago, leaving the house and getting somewhere on time is even more of a chaotic whirlwind than before. One thing that I always have time for, no matter what's going on, is throwing a pipe, my tobacco pouch, and lighter into my pocket. It doesn’t take me more than 30 seconds.

When briars became the thing, people carried pipes with them on horseback for months across the wilderness, in conditions most folks today only see on the Discovery channel without any of the fancy accessories we’ve grown accustomed to “needing”.
This guy is on an extended camping trip it would seem.

Yeah, I doubt he gives much thought to how to pack his bowl or if his tamper has a ivory handle or not, ha.....

I’ve been using a canoeing dry box for taking pipes, tobacco and accessories when I go on trips. It’s about 7”x7”x4” deep. It easily holds 3 or 4 pipes, 3 pocket jars, lighter, tamper, and a grip of cleaners.

It clasps shut, and has a gasket that will keep in odors if that’s an issue wherever you are going. It easily fits in a duffle bag or under a vehicle seat, and keeps everything together. It’s rigid, and obviously waterproof, so it protects everything and no problem if you forget to put it in the tent before a rainstorm

Here we have a mountainous area, I think almost 2000 meters. There are less and less living trees, the lack of rain makes that animal life is practically zero. I could not even light a cigarette, some drone would already be fining me. What is left of the forest is very dry, because here the governments use it for shrimps and cocaine for their parties.

Man, John, that sounds rough.

Sounds like you are finding life a bit stressful and a bit of a hassle from your recent posts.
I find smoking and playing with my pipes very relaxing (get your minds out of the gutter 😁). But then my kids are off my hands.
It may help for you to unload to a mate, your doctor or maybe a psychologist

Now just imagine having to pack for a 4 weeks camping trip, and having to fit everything on a motorcycle…. Expected temperatures from -7 up to 110 C or 20-110 freedom degrees. No hotels and no restaurant meals.

And then this happens in Sweden …

I hope this makes you feel better about any camping related issues you guys might have 🤣
Well, bikes need to rest too!
And your plate number may just be a bad sign….
