Peacock Flats November 8 camping trip

I have a extra 6 man tent if want to use it.

 

Thanks man. My son said he wants to try and survive in our little tent. If our tent fails then we can sleep in the back of the truck.

 

ok let me know if you change your mind.

 

That's what we do anyway.. in the bed... with my shell.... last time I slept under my 10x10 and the wife and kid in the bed..... I'll probably bring the 10x10 anyway for a bit more creature comforts.

 

WIll do.

I've only been camping on the big island and just slept under tarps on a cot. This will be a first in a "tent"

 

sleeping in scofield in the rain with nothing but a poncho made me realize how awesome tents are
tents are love


tents are life

 

After this trip I'll probably want an ARB canopy or a oztent..

 

RTT.

 

New brakes installed, new tires mounted, all gotta do is get my truck loaded.

 

I'm pretty low maintance so I packed last night and fit the essentials in my camera bag lol. But I added some extra stuff like a pair of pants and a few blankets in my old school backpack. Going to load up tomorrow night since I work Friday and Saturday

Awesome! I'm so happy I won't be the only 2by up there

I'm not in on any crazy stuff either. I like flat dirt roads Going to map the easy rout up, so I can ditch the rough stuff if needed in the morning.

So does that mean your bringing a camera? Or is that on the big island too??

 

I was watching your old video again Iven and I think most of the sliding was tire related? Not saying you don't need 4wd in that situation, but I'm hoping having some decent tires will help if the weather takes a turn.

I'm still debating if I should leave the ABS or not. I'm leaning 90% towards no ABS.

 

What video? The sequoia in the crazy rain? I was sliding around too in that stuff. There were a few times where the ruts saved me cause I couldn't stop. Hopefully it won't rain that hard. Just enough to keep the dust down and make the main road fun
And don't worry about mapping the main road. It's pretty obvious.

 

I bought a kodak disposable at Longs

same thing, right?

 

Yea.. I was sliding around last trip and I got MTs... Ruts are sometimes your friend..

 

not a Polaroid camera??

 

my level of hipster stops at disposables

i don't have an old typewriter or a handlebar mustache to grant access to a polaroid

 

so being as I live in a condo that recently banned grilling, and I can't carry that much big stuff since I don't have a car....

I'll bring some dessert stuff and misc/paper goods-
cutlery
paper towels/napkins
disinfecting wipes
trash bags
tongs
aluminum foil

basically, I'll be a maid

 

If the ruts don't manage to stop you just have the door ajar and your seatbelt off so you can dive out as the truck goes over the cliff...

 

Don't scare the rear wheel drivers!
News says gonna rain Saturday and clear up Sunday tho. Might have to stick to the main road.

 

You should dress the part too
