Truck Camping Photo Thread

good idea. i go for a week at a time sometimes, im assuming ill invest in some kind of solar power battery charger for the lights?

 

They charge fast from the car. If you drive at all during the day you will be fine.

 

Also some lights you can get run off of AAA or AA and you can just carry a ton of those worst case scenario.

 

I know they serve different purposes than flood lights, but I use this thing when wrenching at night, coming back from a hike in the dark, and around a campsite when I'm working on stuff - works great, long battery life, replaceable batteries.

Apparently, it has a name now, Big Levels 4x4. I typically camp at Lake Scherando. https://www.google.com/maps/place/B...d1887c930d4d5d!8m2!3d37.9141003!4d-79.0736568

 

Cool thanks I’ll have to check it out

 

Alabama Hills a couple weeks ago and then Mamoth the next day

 

There a camp ground around there or more of a explore and find your own spot?

 

He's alive!!!!!
I like the new tent

 

[Q FYIUOTE="LeftCoastNerd, post: 17229761, member: 182459"]relying on propane heat to stay warm is dangerous, especially with the tank outside... if the ambient temps get down to like 20F, the partial pressure of the propane bottle gets so low it stops outputting enough gas to heat. we always relied on *warm* sleeping bags, and thick foam (not air) mattresses in cold weather. propane was nice for taking the chill out when getting up, our stoves were isogas (propane-butane mix, works better in cold weather) with a white gas stove as emergency backup (they work even when way sub-zero)[/QUOTE]

Not sure I agree with this. I have a heater that draws so much propane I had a 20 lb tank freeze to the floor. The heater was still running fine. A Mr buddy draws far less than mine so I wouldn't be too worried

 

Love this thread. Takes me back 40 years

I know I don't. Everybody in my area heats and get hot water by burning propane and we get double digit below zero in the winter. Still had heat and hot water. Propane boils at -44F. Should be good until at least that temp and I sure won't be in a tent!

 

That looks like an amazing trip

 

That's strong

 

I haven’t actually camped with her yet but made the biggest purchase to date on my Taco being the camper shell. Going to be setting it up with bed on one side and storage on the other. Plan on living out of it and doing some traveling cross country/hiking/off-roading when I’m not working on my ship. I’m thinking it’ll eventually turn into an overlanding vehicle

 

Nice 1st gen. You're not the only one with those T4R rims.
@Crom those wheels!

 

Yep, I saw a pic of someone’s truck on here that was rockin’ them and thought they were sexy niiice!!!

 

I know the first one I saw was Croms. He inspired me to pick up a set. Would still like two more for my spares.

 

Dee Vee, moonlight and my in- shell bed setup. A Ridgerest, yoga mat and a 3" memory foam mattress, slept like a baby.
