Truck Camping Photo Thread

Happy wife happy life

 

man, you must be reading my mind.

 

I'm calling this truck camping since I drove it to get here.

 

indeed!!

 

Camping and fishing up around Leadville last weekend.

 

Cool fire pit.

 

Sequoia !

 

Awesome pictures guys (and gals), I'm looking back through pages (starting with the most recent). I plan to try to do some camping with my Taco eventually, probably mostly centered around paramotor flying. My plan is either to get a low rail system over the bed and a RTT, preferably with some large vestibule so I can keep my paramotor and wing 'indoors', OR I'll get a bed tent, and then one of those SUV tents to 'connect' to it. Sleep in the bed tent, and keep everything else covered in the other tent.


One thing I'd like to ask in a thread like this is:

Describe your gear! Tell us what it is! Tell us where you got it, and if you like, how much you spent on it. Tell us where you're at (we want to know where that awesome scenery is!).

Just posting pictures turns this into a "one picture, then 15 posts asking about what's in the picture" thread.

 

There's a thread for that

Coneross State Park, South Carolina. No mountains, but paddle boarding on Lake Hartwell was a good time.

 

Looks like the perfect tool, but biggest paddle board I've seen. Neat.

 

That looks a very stable paddle board. Who makes it?

 

I would last 5 second on a paddle board before I was In the drink. Horrible Sense of Balance.

 

Made by a company down here in FL called BOTE. This is the Zeppelin model. Its inflatable, and rolls up into a roll-type suitcase bag. I use my ARB compressor to inflate it. Super stable. kids sit on the back with a fishing line out and use Dad as propulsion to troll around for fish. Works well on the ocean as well. Heres the company website. https://www.boteboard.com

 

Awesome. Wow, doesn't look like an inflatable. Impressive.
Does it work well for fishing?

 

Yeah its a really stable fishing platform. Use it down on the gulf a fair amount. Lakes. and plan to use it up in the mountains next year for some fly fishing. My Yeti 45 straps right to it so i can sit and cast (or crack a cold one) all day.

 

Nice. I'll have to look into these. Sounds super functional.

 

Yeah its just shy of 13 feet long. However its got a 450 pound capacity, so I can fit my 3 kids or a ton of gear. Fits my needs nicely.

 

Is that Halfmoon Creek, by any chance? I love that area.
