2023) SAN G. Family Reunion 9/22-24

Marriott

 

It was freaking FREEZING last year. Bring a snuggle buddy.

@Mrs. Nishibot loaned us an extra sleeping bag... saved me! We have since invested in even more cold-weather bedding. Bbbrrrrr!

 

Yea definitely going to have to stock up!!

 

Really?

 

No. Of course not. Most of the fun happens at camp!

 

My wife does not like to tent as much as we used to and neither does my son but I guess will give it a try again its been a while since we have tented out. Lately it has been cabins

 

So I guess I better go and buy some heaters I didn't think it would be that cold up there in September

 

It was around 37 in the morning although during the day was perfect with sun and didn’t need a jacket at all.

This helped a lot at night!

Thanks will get it

 

It's not that bad in September. Just throw a couple hand warmers in your sleeping bag. Easier to pack and use than a Buddy Heater. I was there every weekend from beginning of Sept. thru mid-Nov. A few mornings in Oct/Nov that were in the teens and that was at 4:00 a.m. to get to glassing points. Otherwise, not bad at all. I slept in back of my truck and in a tent. Very comfy with the handwarmers.

 

Just to clarify, don't show up with the cheapest Walmart sleeping bag that's rated at 50 degrees. You won't freeze, but you won't be comfortable. I have the USMC four bag system and I usually just use the main intermediate bag with the hand warmers. The hand warmers are great because you can put them in your pockets after you wake up and walk around camp with them. buddy heater is fine, but all the heat will sit in the top of your tent for the first 20 mins....when you sit there and debate whether you want to get up to go pee! ha ha

I also carry a seabag full of extra blankets if i think it's going to be that cold. A woobie is all you need....

Is this a family-friendly occasion usually? (I’m good with PG-13 as being family friendly)

My 8-yr old loves to go off roading and can talk about burps and farts all night, but would rather avoid too many F-bombs etc.

No biggie if I don’t bring her. Was just wondering what to expect.

 

Family ......im taking my 10 yr old

 

Only 1,659 miles from me.

 

I’m bringing my 3 kiddos. 9 year old 5 and 4.

 

I’m bringing my 1+ yr old to this F-bomb party


Edit: I think my kids first word was the F word because of these yahoos

 

Perfect!!!

 

I know I’m behind a bit so I don’t know if someone else has already answered up, but here is my assessment based on last year and numerous other meets with SoCal taco and tundra members.

There will be no drunken arguments or fights, although there will be drunkenness... and debates. There will be some sexual references but, in mixed company or with kids present, most will be PG-13 innuendo. But there will be a lot of “Fucks” given.

 

Yep. I was pretty sure we’d all agree this is not a “zer0 fucks given” kind of event but it IS a family event. There were many kids last year, everyone had a great time... and the cussing is basically used as adjectives to better explain what incredible experiences we had together on the trail. I mean, you can only say “gnarly” so many times. When the fish you’re trying to describe is SO MUCH BIGGER than the fish some other guy just told us he caught....

Then everyone resets at breakfast (less cussing), and it builds again over the day, as the experiences go on. Hope that captures it for parents evaluating using the CommonSenseTundras review and rating system.

 

bring your kiddo with you. Most of the group has kids with them, so we all know the concerns. Your whole family will enjoy

don’t listen to these crazies

 

Awesome! Thanks all!!!

 

100% kid and family friendly!

But yeah, words like “fuck” are often heard around the campfire. @Sunnier explained it well

 

WTF!

 

Does that mean you want to learn words in a diff language??

 

that means my poor “virgin ears”


In my whole 16 year life, I’ve never used a swear word

 

What what!

 

For all you foul mouth ppl
