Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

I was teasing but I'm playing with the idea of selling mine again. New trailer will be here soon and like everyone here, I'm always finding new inspiration from different people and am thinking about a big change.

 

I'll keep that in mind when I see others come up and forward them to you.

 

Wide mouth Gatorade bottle to the rescue.

those look really cool. But I camp once a month and still haven't felt the need for one.

 

Let's not exaggerate...

 

Hey you get out of here you!

 

Anyone else get one of these or have feedback?

 

My gf told ME that I needed to build an expo trailer so we could leave Basecamp set up and go wheeling for the day. And I'm the one that gets stuck folding the tent up. She's a keeper.

 

I want one of those so bad!! I found out about them the week after the kickstarter for it ended and was so bummed. Did you get it on that? How do you like it? Duability as good as its said to be?

Edit: Hahaha sorry thought this was a newer post.

 

group buy?

 

Id be in. But give it a long dead line. I need to recoup moneys.

 

So half a mile down a dirt road?

 

Is it because I sold my RTT and got rid of my bed rack? Am I not ovvvverlandy enough for the overland club?

 

A really good buddy of mine bought it for me after I did a bunch of work on his car. Not sure if he got it through the kickstarter deal or payed full pop.

I love it. Everyone in our group loves it. lol. In the mornings there's usually a line of coffee mugs waiting to be filled. Everyone brings their own k-cups and we all enjoy a hot coffee on our trips. In addition, being able to make hot water for freeze dried food or hot chocolate for the kiddos is a plus too.

As for durability, if it's not thrown in the bed covered with dirt and being bounced around, it's on kitchen counter making my coffee every morning before work every day. If it died at this point I wouldn't blame it.

 

Just spent a week with my jetboil, a travel mug, and some good instant coffee. Cheaper and more effective , but to each their own!

 

Am I overland enough now with my Prinsu rack installed?

 

Jet boil has a cool French Press attachment. I use it every time I go camping or backpacking. That way you can avoid the instant stuff .
Nothing like getting a little fancy with your morning coffee in the middle of the woods!

 

Jet Boil + Aero Press = best camping coffee

 

Any French press will own a percolator, but percolator takes me back to my childhood for sure.
