Truck Camping Photo Thread

I've definitely enjoyed having mine. It makes clean up a lot easier and helps cushion the bottom of your tent.

For the size of your tent, something like this is relatively inexpensive to try out at least and see if it works for you.

I keep telling my wife that. She just doesn't understand.

 

Bighorn National Forest

 

Also Big Horn NF

 

will look into it...that would be great!!

soooo jealous of that snow camp!!! That is going to be one of my retirement activities for sure

 

Do not over look Aladdin Kerosene lamps as a heat source for camping. They even make "Dark lamp" versions just for heating. (a metal chimney)
They do require ventilation.!

 

Love that area. Some of the coolest and easiest camping around.

lol, saw some "influencer" on IG the other day posting about "being off the grid, and way out in nature in Alabama Hills". I was like - bish, you less than 10 minutes outside of town.

 

Alabama Hills is littered with tourists man. I saw a bunch of them with their IG handles and deployed RTTs, taking selfies. Didn’t see them at Coyote Flats though haha.

 

S/W CO area. Light snow the 1st 2 days and had sun the second 2 days.
Rolling into camp - typical spring mud
Truck load out
Camp site
Chuck box
Acquired a few icicles on the return trip

 

Awesome. Love the self contained cooking setup

 

@whup
Very nice. Who is the manufacturer of the chuck box? It looks light weight compared to my old wood ones.

 

Its a Dosko Campmate. It was a game changer for me, as I was able to organize all my cooking supplies into one compact unit, weighing about 45 lbs loaded. You can use the lid as a wash bin also. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. After looking for some time, I scored mine about a year ago from someone in New Mexico on Marketplace.

 

After I saw your photo I went searching for it and you’re right, nowhere to be found. Looks cool though

 

Thank you I thought that I had seen those before couldn't remember the mfg. I looked at these ones a while back but they are too pricey for me.

Which power supply are you using? I'm in the market for one.

 

I copy/pasted from Amazon.
BALDR Portable Power Station 330W
Togo Power 120W Portable Foldable Solar Panel

 

Thanks! What are you running with it? Besides keeping phones charged I'd like to run a small fan or maybe a 12v electric blanket.

 

I'm running a 200 watt electric heater (i posted a few pages back) and this fan:

We're looking into electric blankets. If you find a good one, let me know.

 

Damn. That is pretty expensive. I paid $150 for mine, used, with shipping. But I plan on keeping it forever.
