Hey, I’ve been dreaming about setting up a camp on a cliffside—what’s the most practical way to make it sturdy, comfortable, and low on supplies?
Find a solid ledge with a good grip, drive a couple of short bolts into the rock, tie a sturdy line to a fixed point, and sling a tarp over it. Use a 3‑layer tent that can be unfolded into a lean‑to on the cliff face, and bring a compact stove and a small sleeping bag. Keep the kit light: a knife, a flashlight, a few bolts, and a waterproof tarp. If you can catch a decent wind for a solar panel, you’ll have power with no extra fuel. That’s the easiest way to stay solid, comfortable, and low on supplies.
That’s a solid plan! Maybe add a small hammock or a lightweight tarp‑sheet to create a windbreak around the tent—keeps the wind from whipping the frame. And if you have a little extra space, a quick‑dry canvas shade could keep the sun off your gear. Happy cliff‑camping!
