*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Who do I send my entry form and payment to for the next trip?

 

What orientation does the tent open? Or does that even matter? I have a Kukenam 4 Ruggedized as well just waiting for my RCI rack and this will help in installation planning. Thanks in advance.

 

Is it just me or are you missing a ladder?

 

Ha yeah ladder in the back seat. Had to move it out to get to the install hardware and cover. Was in a rush.

 

Doesn't matter. I set mine to open on the side so it's easier to access bed.

 

Got it. Thank you.

 

What was the third day for Dan, Mike and I was actually the day we'd meet Zane and Monte for the official start of the trip. We were up early with a lot of miles to cover - and some great stops along the way - before we'd arrive in Cooke City at our designated meeting time of 5pm.

The question on all of our minds - when would Monte show up?

...The wet and cold continued all night - or rather, the wet continued and the cold got colder! We awoke, just after 8:00am to a dusting of snow spread across camp and our trucks, and several inches on the surrounding mountains.

"Welcome to Montana guys!" Monte said as he climbed out of his tent...

...Now mid-afternoon, we continued up Big Pryor mountain, through gates and across grassy hillsides. We reveled in the beauty and the took in the views as we climbed, the white clouds and blue skies contrasting so nicely with the golden-green of the landscape. This truly was what we were hoping for on the Re-Tour.

So bad ass. I'm pretty close to selling my 3rd gen and buying a 1st. Fucking love those things.

 

You could get a very nice first gen and build it up for what you could sell a turd for

 

How do you guys stay warm in the winter in your tents..?
Do I need a condensation mat?

 

Yes get one. Worth the money.

And cold weather cover and 0* sleeping bag works great.

 

- Mr. Heater little buddy
- quality sleeping bag
- heavy wool blanket
- thermal underwear

 

What kind of sleeping bag are you guys going with. It's just me and my girl that sleep in the tent.

 

Heard a lot of good things about the teton 0*. Comes in queen size for two people.

 

I use this. Worked great a couple weekends ago when the temps dropped to the teens

 

Forsure. I'll look into these. Thanks
