Truck Camping Photo Thread

I’m still looking for a camping spot that looks like that here in Indiana but still no luck. I’m jealous!!

 

I'm in Indiana as well. We got some hills down south and dunes up north, but if it's mountains you're looking for it's going to take some driving.

I just got back from an 8 day trip out to western Texas/southern New Mexico. I'm exhausted and drove my truck WAY too hard, but the views made it worth it!

Big Bend NP, Grapevine Hills #4

 

Good to know, thanks. I have the ranger. Does not throw much heat sideways to help keep warm on a cold night!

Any reason we couldn't just DIY one out of an upside down garbage can lid and added legs?

 

yea cutting wood down to fit in the ranger is kind of a pain. And there are far more portable firepits out there but I’ve made room for it so far

 

I don’t see why not. Let us know how is goes

 

Got a link?

Any suggestions for pouches/cubes (with zipper’s possibly) that would fit in the small drawer of the Decked System? I recently reorganized and moved my camp kitchen into that drawer and want something to keep it more organized. Thanks in advance!

What's the other end of that hammock tied to?

 

The Super Pacific camper has built in loops on all four corners that will support a hammock. Incredibly useful feature.

 

Yea I saw it attached to your super pacific. Was wondering what the other sight might be. Looks comfy.

Camping at Portola Redwoods State Park near San Jose, CA

 

I like that setup. I just picked up a Softopper and it got my thinking along those lines. I like the drawer systems, but losing that headroom is a no go for me. Did you come up with the plans for yours?

 

Nice, congrats on the new topper! The headroom is definitely a challenge, but I can make it work for what I do (mostly weekend warrior with a couple of week long trips 2x/year). I'm not handy, so this is bought, not made. I like it though, it pulls out in less than five minutes and goes back just as easy.

 

Spring trip to Utah.

 

Went up to our land in Western North Carolina to Camp and Turkey hunt for a few days. No Turkey but good camping trip

 

Loaded up the truck, headed down to Padre Island for 4 days. Got home Friday, spent all day yesterday cleaning the sand, salt and 4,600 miles of road grime off! Worth it.

 

I took a roughly three-week road trip to do some backpacking in the Grand Canyon. I was solo for the driving and stuck mostly to National Forests and BLM or state land. A friend drove up from TX to meet me at Ouachita NF, and I picked up the two other friends I was backpacking with at PHX for the hike. Stayed with family outside of Phoenix one night and at a campground where I had no choice. I didn't get pictures of every spot, sometimes it took a while to find a good one and put me into the night. Saw four National Parks, pooped in many National Forests, spent some time in Roswell NM, picked up lots of trash, and only slept inside twice.

Oachita NF


Roswell, NM


Grand Canyon - The main event. Woke up at the campground to 17 degrees and a bunch of snow. We went South Rim to North Rim back to South over four days. They closed the North trail completely a couple of days after we made it through until June for repair. Gratuitous GC shots:


Apache-Sitgreaves NF


Not quite Cibola NF. Couldn't find a spot, lots of closed roads due to snow but I found a road off of the highway that went way back into some state land. Pretty quiet and a nice view of the highway at night.


Pomme de Terre State Park, the only campground besides the GC. Middle America has a dearth of public land, but it was the last night and somehow I scored a loop that I had all to myself.
