Truck Camping Photo Thread

I kinda like those smaller ones in the back . Gives more options for arranging stuff out back. Are those 24 gallon?

 

Sorry for the seprate post not got the hang of this yet , had the tarp made to cover the back of the truck. When out camping or hunting. To cook and eat under or sleep under , tried differant ideas ended up with this as it can be hung of trees or inbeetween trucks or a mix of both ( well thats the idea )

 

Yieauh. I got the same one but 10*14. We'll do more primitive backpacking later on, but this thing is awesome for camping with my three boys, lots of space to move around. I watched other guys in our troop use these for several months before I bought mine. I wasn't sure how durable and weather proof it would really be, but they had no problems, so I hopped on the bandwagon. $200ish. Up in two minutes, down in five. I do want a bigger rucksack or Rubbermaid tote to carry it in, it's a little tight getting it back in its original carry case.

 

Now that's a tarp.

 

Do you have any pictures of your 10*14?

 

I don't have any pics handy but it's exactly like his, only longer. Got it on Amazon, will be easy to find.

 

This is my 16X10 Coleman Weathermaster. I can set it up by myself in about 15 minutes, but the rainfly is an absolute bitch.

 

Very nice. Does the rain fly work well? I had my last one fail on me at 2 am in a crazy thunderstorm.

 

The rainfly works great. I think it has 8 tie down points. It sustained a 60mph gust. I've only had it in rain once, and the only leaks were at the bottom corners of the tent.

 

Good to hear. I've been looking at a bunch but it's hard to choose which one.

 

Big Sur trip in June. I love my REI tent. Takes 3 minutes to put up. Everything is color coded so you know which things go together. Used it no less than 30 times. Still on perfect condition.

 

It's like a castle! Cool! Where was that campground, some cool lookin terrain.

 

It's Willow Beach, AZ. About 15 miles south of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. Very cool scenery in the canyons down there. I usually like to be a little more uncivilized, but the fishing is pretty good.

 

Boy the puppy is really roughing it, it does get chilly in B.S.

 

It was pretty chilly. Also kept him from getting cedar oil on everything. Had to spray him with that stuff to keep ticks away.

 

Nice Dennis!I know you had the music tunes going(What Are You Listening To Right Now)!Always got respect for PA.people!Was born in Pittsburgh,PA.but have lived the majority of my life in CA.Respond to you on the music thread!Go Pirates,STEELERS,Penguins etc.LOL!

 

Cool. I was actually just checking those out today. Do you know if they fit side-by-side along the length of the bed? That's the way I was planning on doing it. According to the Rubbermaid spec sheet, they should be too long to fit sideways like you're doing - but pictures never lie I guess.

 

I replied to the other thread with some specifics about my camper, but figured I'd put a photo here of my rig here as well, in use last fall during a short road trip down to Iowa.

 

Have to go unload crap from the bed, so I can start packing for Idyllwild camping trip this weekend. Will take some pictures and measurements while I am at it. Will post them here
