Truck Camping Photo Thread

Before a mustard seed braise.

 

What part of Pa? Most of my camping is done in ANF usually near a trout stream.

 

Ahhhhh....glow sticks! Perfect. Thanks.
Taking the lil' man out tomorrow for his first overnight in the woods. Will get a couple of these for him.

 

*edit* I can't recommend them. They fit horribly.

 

Mmmm tularemia!

 

It cooks out.

 

Can anyone recommend a good ground tent? Interior space around 80"x80" if possible, quick set up, good quality, holds up to elements (wind, rain, etc), additional annex for standing up is preferred. I feel like RTTs are not a good choice for us (2 humans, 3 large dogs) especially with the ladder and total weight (550+ including the RTT itself) on top of our bed shell (will not be using bed bars - need to keep the truck bed enclosed). Oh, also what type of mattress/flooring so we don't have to lay directly on the ground? TIA!

 

How much do you want to spend?

 

Budget is open for discussion. I'm just pretty sure it'll be less than a decent RTT anyway, so that's good lol

 

From what I have seen on TW, people like their Kodiak tents.
I have an old "cabin" tent that I used to use for car camping. Not sure on the brand though.
I have had good luck with my Eureka tents. I am sure they make a large tent. If I were to get a modern large tent now I would look to see what they have.

The tent that I have now goes on the back of the truck (with shell), so I have a sleeping area (truck bed) and a large room.

Kinda like this:


Sorry for the jeep picture

 

Here are the Kodiak tents:

Something like that would be perfect.

Maybe even get an additional awning.

 

I have the Kingcamp awning listed below. Really well made and bigger than I expected. Multi-functional too.

 

@c4lvinnn Here is the link to Eureka

Their outlet store is great too. Have gotten a couple tents there.

 

And this is why tannerite goes camping with me. It fixes stuff like that pronto.

 

i love my Colman six person insta-tent. It's pretty cheap, you can stand up inside, and set up and take down doesn't get any easier. No awning tho. I've had it in several rain storms and it never leaked even without a rain fly. Good luck.

 

Get a Cabela Outfitter wall tent, one you can add a small wood stove inside during winter camping

 

My wife and I just spent last weekend in the ANF. Checked out the elk in Benezette, went to Kinzua skywalk, Kinzua dam, Jakes rocks, Warren county fair, and scouted throughout the forest. Never saw another Toyota. Lots of Jeeps in that area. Funny thing though, lots of Jeeps for sale too.

 

Went to Big Basin Redwoods State Park for a couple days. RTT worked great.

 

That tent looks great! Is it a pita to put up/take down?
