Truck Camping Photo Thread

Okay so I set the paddles there while the GF was cooking and it looks a little staged... but first time sleeping in the bed!

 

Thanks for this tip. Just ordered a couple for my upcoming trip. I have young kids, so I need for safety.

Lights out when all set to see the stars though.

 

Quick day trip

 

Aww. How cute.

 

all I had was orville redenbacher popcorn lol

 

Here are a few from some spots I've had this year. Most good with one bad one thrown in.

 

Cool ass tent you got there. Does that wolf-thing-monster sleep in there too?

 

Haha. Thanks! And....

 

Nice set up! beautiful dog and scenery !

 

Thanks, man, I appreciate that. She's a good girl and a great camping buddy who always watches my back when we're in remote spots.

 

noticed youre native to socal. Big plans for the weekend?

 

Actually, that's all about to change. Born and raised here, but I'm getting ready to move/escape to Utah for the foreseeable future. It's stressing me out a little, but it's honestly where I need to be.
No plans other than hanging out local, barbecuing with friends and watching fireworks. It's too hot to do anything else!

 

How you like that cot tent? My kid wants one.

 

Lanterns and fires have their place. they are fine in campgrounds or if you have a large group but after years of back packing I find them to be a nuisance in the back country. They kill your night vision and fires put your focus all on that one spot instead of allowing you to focus on the world around you (which is the reason you went to the backcountry to begin with).

However, with a group, campfires are a great opportunity for socialization and lanterns make card and other table games much easier after dark. So for me it's all situational.

edited for multiple grammar issues.

 

You know, it's got its strong points and its weak points. Price, relative comfort and versatility are big selling points. But obviously for the price, the quality is not going to be close to what you'll find in a good rooftop tent.
I like it a lot and it has performed flawlessly so far for me, but I'm just uncertain of the durability.

 

lanterns vs. camp fires is like clothing vs. skin.

they both cover your body but in one case the sex is a lot better.

 

How do you like the C4 Fab bumper. Can you tell me how much it added to total length of truck. I want the same setup and C4 looks like the way to go, but concerned about still fitting in garage.

Thanks Glenn

 

Not camping yet- Getting geared up.



Family glamping/wheeling trip starting soon.

 

i hope you don't get stuck and need those maxtrax!

Exactly, lol. Thats the goal. Relatively quick to get to still. Just gotta move the cooler.
