Truck Camping Photo Thread

I have a Lavabox and like it a lot. American made by a small family business.

 

If you're talking about the box producing fire on the ground, it is a Lavabox, which I've been very happy with. Don't think my stove is in any of the pics, so I'll assume that's what it is. You *can* cook on a Lavabox in theory, but it's suggested to not cook things that drip (they make a grate/stand thing if you wanted to set a pan/pot on it, but they don't suggest just throwing a steak on it).

 

I drove up to Lake Superior Provincial Park for a few days of late season canoe tripping. I'll post more photos in the camping thread, this is the only one of the Taco before I entered the interior of the park.

How were the flies when you were there? We tried to camp there a couple weeks ago and had to leave. Thousands of flies were in my truck, swarming over us and anything we were trying to drink. I said to hell with it after a couple hours and we high tailed it to a higher, fly free altitude.

 

Flys weren’t bad but there were loads of mud daubers and wasps they mostly kept to themselves but had to watch where you were walking.

 

I spent hours getting rid of the flies after we got home. I thought I had all of them but as soon as it warmed up, they reanimated. I drove around with my canopy wide open trying to get them out. It was brutal.

Had something similar when I was in Moab, left the doors open for an hour or so and every time I got in my truck there were 3 or four flies. I would open the windows and get them out but a few hours later another couple would appear. Happened for 3-4 days before they all got out.

 

Tonneau cover and a tarp.

 

pics from a different angle? looks like theres a tool box in your bed too?

 

Looks like a tote on the unfolded section of the tonneau.

 

Only one pic unfortunately. That is just a camping tote sitting on the front of the cover. 3- fold cover. I built a hinged bracket that allows 2 of the panels to be supported at an angle. Needs some refinement but this was the prototype trip.

 

the hinged bracket makes sense. i wasn't sure how the whole thing was propped up with a tri-fold. looks like a nice setup

 

Next time I set it up I’ll post some better pictures. The plan was to make it where a tarp/tent lining just snaps into place.

 

Camp Ben Hawkins in Byron, GA this weekend with the Cub Scouts. Great time.

 

Halloween camping! Had to bring the tv for college football haha

 

We tented (no truck) at a cub camp ourselves, nice!

 

Nice!

It is a beautiful campground, but so busy in spring and summer. Best swimming in the lower mainland, jumping off the cliffs where Gold Creek enters the lake.

Man, 55 years ago our family along with a few other families with kids would boat to the north end of the lake, and tent on the sand beach for a week in middle of summer. No others there. That spot I red circled here.

Spend the days hiking the cliffs on the west side of the lake, fishing, water skiing all day, swimming.

Man, those were the days!
