Is that the smoke from the camp fire in the paradise area?

 

Yes. It was pretty smokey

 

Beautiful view!

My sister lives in Forest Ranch, so I've been tracking the fire.

 

I personally love it! It’s a little big for my short bed but nothing too noticeable, I don’t like bugs being able to crawl in and I feel a little safer. One thing I recommend is a bed mat, the ridges in the bed liner aren’t easy on the back lol.

 

If you are in the Sierras....

Sorry to be a little concerned but why are we still doing open fires and charcoal in one of the worst fire seasons in Calif ?
there are some better options.
Our friends lost there home and business in Paradise, and two family members are risking there lives today fighting fires !

Please Please Please

Thanks for your concerns and sorry about your friends and family. I too have friends and family fighting the fires so we always practice safe campfire rules. All fires and coals were drowned in water before being unattended and made sure they were out.

We had a small butane can for a stove but it froze over night so we pulled out the charcoal grill.

 

Thank you
God Speed and bring rain..



If you have the room I have been using these portable gas fire pits in dry areas just in case.
Accidents do happen....also 5 gal tanks tend not to freez and can power your stove with adapter..
Click it on ...no smoke no sparks and no worries about leftover coals. But it’s still a flame

Be careful for all ...


Cheers

Ps don’t roast marshmallows with them

 

First camping trip of the year.

 

This is my truck condom. DAC tent:

$180 Mid-Size Truck Camper Tent

https://www.amazon.com/DAC-Dac-Mid-Mid-Size-Truck-Camper/dp/B00BYA10F4/. Love it! Simple, cheap.

 

Oceano dunes . Loved my softopper. Kept us warm and cozy with little buddy heater. Temp was 37f early morning

 

Think there’s not enough headroom to make a sleeping platform so you have a bigger bed with soft topper?

 

More than enough headroom. We can sit . There's no platform though
Just foam bedtopper full size, sheets and sleeping bag. Its comfy

 

do you have a link to that flag mount? It's hard to tell but it looks like it would work with a hard shell?

 

Nice pics! Bacon? No tocino?

How does camping work at Oceano Dunes? Are there assigned campsites you have to pay for or is it pretty much dispersed camping?

 

Looks like CaliRaised LED Bed Accessory Mounts. Have the same on both sides of my bed. Works with the ARE CX anyway.

Pay to enter. Used to be $10. You can camp anywhere after a certain marker post, though most camp closer to the water.

 

It’s like dispersed camping you can camp anywhere after a certain marker. It’s primitive camping in a sense there’s no amenities . But it’s fun .

 

It’s from a vendor here. @CaliRaisedLed

 

Nice! Looks like Florida. Where was this?

 

Yes, it's Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. It's just north of Lake Okeechobee
