    Yeah, sorry Lisa, we are in the 3rd year of a drought so we have been enjoying an early camping year. Clear skys and 70s during the day and 30's at night. Camped twice in January and 3 planned for this month.

    This is my set up that I bought a few months ago and I still haven't taken it out. And I haven't gotten her off road sexy...yet.a01f263d-3d73-450e-92e4-a9d2e69017b9_zps_35b808196ae66cb2f1a21421dc5c4d0da0cdbdab.jpgDoes anyone know any good remote areas in the Central Valley, CA where I can just go out and set up a random camp? I'm looking for a place I can just drive out to and not worry about people, Rangers or anything.

    These are a bit late, from last month's road trip into Utah. First time primitive camping and first time sleeping under the Softopper. A great experience! Perfect for cold weather camping- down to 20s at night but topper held up great against heavy winds and bitter cold!

    What's wrong with us Rangers? :p If you are in the southern end of the Central Valley, there are plenty of places I can recommend that are fairly private, and I promise I won't come harass you.

    We're you using anything for heat? I'm planning on using the Softopper as sleeping cover and protection from the elements. If it can do 20* nights w/o any supplemental heat, we'll be golden.

    Isn't sleeping in the bed of a truck cold as hell because you have all of that space under the bed leaking heat?


    Can anyone recommend a good hatchet and air mattress? Last time we went camping our air mattress had a slow leak that resulted in us laying on the ground by the morning :(

    I love this air mattress: http://www.autoanything.com/truck-tents/airbedz-lite-truck-bed-air-mattress

    As for the warmth, I've been camping in the bed of my trucks ever since I could drive (the '77 in my sig pic). Never had a problem with being cold from as basic as a pillow and a few blankets to as "fancy" as I do now with the tent, mattress, and 0* rated sleeping bag.
