Truck Camping Photo Thread

Is that lifted, or just BFG K02's 265/70/17 on the stock Sport wheels? Stance looks good.

 

Burning is better than burying. Here's the video...haters gonna hate. NFG.

Getting Ready to begin truck camping again. I can not wait. RTT went up today.

 

First one for 2023,,,
Last minute 3 night trip, I went to Northern Ontario as there is almost no snow here,
camped beside a lake the first night, about 8-10 inches of snow.




it snowed another about another 8-10 inches overnight





then stayed the last 2 nights here ,



Great trip, good conditions, if I had of known it was going this good I would have invited you along,, @LP3

 

First night this year! Not a single other person at the campground(it was nice and sunny that afternoon, low 40s for the high, AND a weekend- I was a little surprised). Got my usual spot and relaxed!

 

Looks like an awesome.time.

 

F







irst trip of the year.

 

The Californians seem serious about TP & shit in the backcountry. You both realize that every animal shits and pisses in the field, right? I understand the desire to pack out TP and wet wipes. Leave no trace for sure. But pee and poo? Are you all advocating for cow patty removal as well?

If you really want to leave no trace you would sell your tacoma, hike to the field, carry all of your own stuff, grow your own cotton, make your own fabric then sew it into clothing and accessories. You could pee and poo into a cloth sack you made (making sure to carry your excrement with you that could then be used to fertilize the ground you grow cotton on. Don't even think about carrying canned goods... you may be leaving no trace by packing the cans out but you will be leaving a trace at the local dump. You would need to figure out a way to not disturb the ground by walking on it because you'd be leaving a trace so maybe you could hop from rock to rock or something, like in Tremors.

Leave no trace my guys.

 

Spend lots of time doing your research on the towing capacity (Towing Competency) of your Tacoma based on your equipment package. Take what rating Toyota shows with a grain of salt.
I have an 06 Tacoma 2wd SR5 V6 Quad Cab Automatic.I sold my Jayco 165 BH Baja Travel Trailer at 2,600lbs. dry weight after 3 trips. My Tacoma said "Thank you!"

 

I live in CA and we do not claim him.

 

Other thing to ride off this make sure you get a solid weight distribution hitch, high quality brake controller, and double check the height of the ball hitch. The tech at the dealership installed mine when taking delivery wrong, made me second guess my purchase the first two trips until I realized it was not correct.

 

Well ok. Some people don't even know how bury shit. They just lay turds on the ground...like I noted in my video. No idea if it was Californian poop or not. Might have been from Australia for all I know. Might have been your neighbor. Too bad there are people who have no regard for the outdoors.

Oh yeah, animals do create feces and urine too. I'd forgotten about that. Then again we, the collective we, allow homeless humans to do all sorts of stuff out in the open you'd have to deal with if it was taking place on your doorstep. Carry on.

 

You don’t need to be blaming someone else’s neighbor. What you may have forgotten is buried TP biodegrades very quickly(within a few weeks). There are much bigger issues to be worrying about when camping than someone digging a hole.

You will be blaming them next when you find it.

 

Clearly you've never camped at a site with human shit around. I have, it ain't pleasant

 

Wow that thing looks super roomy inside

 

I really did not know how big it was until I put it up and found it covered my entire prinsu rack and overhung it by about 6 inches on each side. It is fully 5 by 6. It is very roomy.

 

What RTT is that? Thanks.

 

It is a DAC AT11. If you search the model number you can find the manufacturer. It can be purchased from them for about 1200 but I do not know about shipping. It is a Chinese made tent that I can really only find available in Europe, Australia and one seller in the UAE. It can be purchased via Alibaba or directly from the manufacturer. I happened upon it on facebook marketplace and when I went to look at it the seller was unpacking it from the shipping packaging and had not even used it. I was brand new and I grabbed it for $500. Free Spirit sells one similar to it here in the states for 3-4K.

 

Thanks, I’ll look it up. Loos like the free spirit evolution model. I like the color it goes with on your rig.

 

While I did not really buy it because it matched when I saw it I must admit it seemed like an omen. I did not even have my shell yet. I was still searching for that.
