Truck Camping Photo Thread

A whoopie sling, straps and a marlin spike... Ahhh- good times, good times...

I think the last time I rigged a hammock it was 13 or more years ago and I used a strap that had two steel rings (around the tree) and then I just tied off a triple wrap taut-line hitch to the rings. I could set the hammock vertical or banana that way- just slide the hitch up or down.

Of course I didn't know what I was doing, but I didn't fall.

 

anyone on here ever use a swag?
I've been thinking of getting one.
Specifically this one.
Double option.

I think it would be great for touring.

 

Always been a backpacker, never a car camper. Trying to learn with the truck. First time out with the truck.

 

2016 Stock TRD OR DCLB with ARE shell. You can see the bikes on the back. This is Flagstaff, AZ last weekend

 

Whistler B.C. drove up a forest service road to the top of one of the mountains here. 2016 TRD Sport.

 

I've done both for years and I must say, being able to go to the cooler for a variety of sexy IPAs while grilling a ribeye is much better than taking pulls of bourbon and eating ramen.

 

It's not to bad it now sits over the bed of the truck on a bed rack I got one of the biggest tents to fit me the wife and two kids and two 90lb pups the tent empty comes in around 160lbs I imagine a normal size one wouldn't be more then 120lbs it's not the weight it's just awkward I usually leave it on all summer since we camp literally almost every weekend

 

Nice setup ! Ok so when you're heading out, you're driving, wife in front passenger seat, the two kids in backseat and the two pooches ?

 

Yep the pups ride in the bed with the gear at first they would stomp all over everything after the whole summer camping they get in lay down and relax haha

 

Looks like a happy camper

 

browsing the thread I come across this and think no way is there a damn forum site for hammock talk .. I've been primarily hammock canping the last 3 years or so and have never heard of that! Love my Clarks jungle hammock though.. this thing is the sheeit

 

Never even knew "hammock camping" was a thing....

 

Yep, and IMO it beats sleeping on the ground.

 

You'll never sleep better!

 

Beautiful!!!

 

Reminds me of areas along Hwy 89
