Truck Camping Photo Thread

Talladega NF is pretty good. Did my first trip up there a few weeks ago.. 600-1. I know it sounds sad but most of my vehicle camping has been out Alabama. We are gonna plan some trips back up North Alabama soon, I hope. I like camping National Forest.

 

Thanks. How safe do you feel camping on 600-1? I've been over there on a couple day trips, and thought about camping out there. Just not sure how safe it would be.

 

Over the last 7-8 years ive camped and hiked all over the US. I've never had problems anywhere. Ive hiked 180 miles of the Appalachian Trail and countless trails out west and in between and never felt like it was not safe. Never had a problem with anyone I've met. 600-1 was no different, I can't wait to get back up there.

 

Look into the Sipsy Wilderness Area in Bankhead National Forest. Brushey Creek used to be good, but I haven't been there in years. It's also in the NF.

 

I've been wanting to do Sipsy for a few years now. Gotta get up there.

 

Boomer Sooner! I grew up visiting my Grand parents in Ardmore and catching tons of fish out of Texoma. Now my parents just bought a house and land in Kingston. I cant wait to get back there. That is one of my Favorite parts of the country.

 

Sipsy is pretty but over used. Not the solitude it once had.

Talladega NF, love it. I've thru hiked the Pinhoti three times. And helped build the southern Flagg Mtn end. Usually quiet except for holiday weekends.

 

It's a neat place. Here is a link (one of many) from Hammock Forums. They had a group hang/campout a month ago.

Sweet, Thanks!

 

The river was barely a trickle in those few pics. We are in a terrible drought around here.

 

Thank you for reasurence of camping in the TNF. I never had any problems camping out west, but I also knew the areas we camped. Just getting back into camping out here, and would like to avoid campgrounds when possible.

Great pic, great spot. I'm going to have to go find it in the spring. I'll vacate if you show up.

 

maybe if you PM me you'd be lucky enough to get some tips on how to find it

 

Awesome!

 

I never posted these. Taking the entire Napier 57 series tent and AirBedz mattress completely out of the bed is quite easy. I put down a tarp and my step dad and I pulled it out.

 

I like how you post one sweet mountain pic, in extreme climate, which is very much related to this thread, and then get your shit jumped on.

Several times I've slept in the bed of my 85' cause I was so fawked up I couldn't find my keys. Talk about roughing it, I didn't even have a blanket.

I love this thread, and I appreciate the pics and ideas.

How does this hold up in the wind?
