Truck Camping Photo Thread

Corral Hollow.

 

Damn, you guys are killing me with these views. So damn jealous. We dont get that kind of camping down here in Florida. Thanks for posting.

 

Do you sleep in the cab with the soft top? How is it?

 

The only perk to living here, the Sierras.

 

I sleep in the bed, usually with a DAC extension but the weather was perfect without it. Just slept with the tailgate down. No wind, no smoke, and a Thermacell. I use a foam pad in the bed for one nighters or an inflatable mattress for multiple days.

There's a cure for Floriduh - go west - leave covid and the geriatric behind - go west young man - go west.

 

@2021SR5V64WD - sent you a DM w/ the coordinates. Easy (but beautiful) drive in.

 

Two new things I’m trying out this trip. 1. The Thule Foothill RTT
2. Hipcamp camping app

 

It wasn’t the nicest spot to camp, but I was glad to finally try out my new awning for the first time.

 

Nice, what brand?

 

Dog House Tent. It was cheaper than most but I couldn’t find any reviews anywhere online. I’ll likely be writing one after a few more excursions.

 

Just outside the Laurel Highlands, PA-summer and winter

 

Okay, you're 5 post into this and I've got questions....ahahahahaha. What the hell tent is that and have your got more pictures? and two, that pizza looks amazing. How did you make it. (I've done them in Dutch ovens)
Nice work Sir, and welcome to here.

Well, I appreciate the interest! I got into teepee-style tents awhile ago because I got sick of putting my pants/boots on in the morning drag-@ssing like a dog with diarrhea. Also when its pouring out it's really nice to have some head room. That is a cheapo Amazon purchase, Vidalidoo is the brand. It's the biggest of my 3 teepees that I use just for car camping. The other two are a mountainsmith teepee and one I had made by some fiend with a sewing machine and his own 3 hands... first picture is my mountainsmith, 2nd is my hot tent teepee that I backpack with. The Vidalidoo and Mountainsmith both have full inners with a floor and mosquito net walls, the hot tent is just the rain fly with fire blanket sewed around the chimney

 

Oh and the puzza... my gf makes a crust she learned from a NOLS course in Australia, mix up at home, put it in a ziplock and add water when you get to camp. I get a base of coals, put 2 big logs around the side and stack more logs on top of it to create an "oven". I have a flat edged cast iron, oil it and make your pizza on the cast iron and shove it in the "oven". Works like a pizza stone. Usually just pesto, mozzarella, tomato, onion and add basil once you pull it out.

 

yeah, yeah, tents are cool. Tell me about that heater/grill/cooker thing you have there. I see a hose so i'm assuming propane not kerosene? Looks pretty cool.

 

The Ignik heater stove. It's..mediocre. doesn't put out a huge amount of heat. You can boil water on it but the cooking adjustment is pretty limited. I'm thinking of trying a different regulator to see if itll put out more heat. Great for a fall day, might work best with some wind walls under a canopy or something. It's cool, I like it, just..could be better.

 

I appreciate everyone's interest in my stuff. Pretty cool community here @ Tacomaworld. Looking forward to browsing some other peoples stuff!
