Camping Glamping “Overlanding”

Are you renting “Overlanding” rig or AVIS rig.?. week unfortunately doesn’t go far up here. My last little weekend jaunt was only 250ish miles one way & by time got home put 610ish on side roads & such. But definitely good things between Denali Park & Seward.

 

Just a regular rental, likely a Rav4 or similar type. I know it'll be a lot of drive time, but that's pretty normal with our vacations. A week will be just a taste of Alaska for my family; I did about 2 months, maybe April-June, back in 2008, at Eielson AFB, with one weekend in Seward for a halibut charter, another just hanging out in Anchorage. Gonna hit the commissary at Elmendorf for groceries when we arrive, stay in AirBnBs, fish a bit, and see what we can.

 

Sept 1st.. we All better get out.. Before it’s All over..

 

Fall Colors. & Fall Moon. Fall Winning..

 

Winter is Coming.. ice in H20 jug..

 

Alaska looks a bit like Colorado.

 

Just way, way better.

Colorado isn’t bad for the lower 48 but it is nothing like the real thing.

 

Yup. But I’m biased

 

Shoot. Never posted my Last trip, last year October 11. Was 4° when woke up but worth it. Spent winter “researching” heater's which means watching YouTube ha. Finally found one.

 

& 180ish days later.. Night #1 in the books. & heater is pretty nice, gonna make me soft..

 

I absolutely love my diesel heater!

 

Another good one in the Books. & testing out “New” accessories.

 

Ok ok, one of the reasons i was doing early season camping. Research & Development I’ve known for while that i was gonna go to the Second largest island in U.S. Kodiak.

 

So last fall i got an EcoFlow power bank used it just a little. Over winter got Diesel heater, so wanted to use together & see how fuel & power consumption was, everything going good till tried charging EF off truck power & didn’t work. Called EF they said it’s not clean power (that another story). So 1/2 way through trip jus took EF in coffee shop to top off. This was night #1.

 

Day #2. & the last pic i look like yard sale, was jus try’n to get rid of dampness.

 

3rd night slept in truck in town.. 4 & 5 knew storm coming, cause they canceled ferry soo went to Surfer Beach to ride it out. 2” ish rain & 25-30 wind gust over 40+ (high gust airport 51) Was Nautical. & that was all dry when i setup.

 

Have you thought about getting amber fog lights, especially for winter here? The difference is huge. I went the expensive route and couldn't be any happier with them

 

Ohh it’s on my List.. & my List is Long.. also more Light Bars.. need’s more Exterior illumination.. can out run that one.

 

Does the softop keep you dry when it rains hard at night? Any dripping?
