Camping/Overlanding Thread

Texas adventure trail- this weekend.
Not bad- 4.5 hours run it.
More scenic views than anything. dirt road/ some hard ball but it is fun!

 

Beavers Bend

 

@Zachp Beaver's Bend Oklahoma?

 

Yes sir!

 

@Zachp What was your impression of the park? Especially in the off season. Crowd level, separation from other campers, facilities, etc?

I'm awaiting a 4WC slide in camper and can't wait to hit up a bunch of Oklahoma's parks next fall, winter and spring.

 

My experience is minimal at the state parks, but both times we lucked out with amazing locations and away from people! We camp with our 2 boys and 3 & 1 and they can tend to get fussy at times, night time especially. So we are always looking for remote spots. Id recommend a visit for sure.

 

a couple things to add to the camping set up. Smittybilt gen2 xl annex and a fan/light combo

 

I just picked up that same fan but haven't had an opportunity to get out to use it yet.

 

I was just plying with it. Seems really good so far for the price. Moves air pretty good and light is bright enough. Nice that it comes with a remote too

 

Final hut trip of the season a few weeks back.
The out house required daily snow removal (3rd pic) and I was too chicken shit to try and shovel the cabin roof.
Sled with the box showes the 3 day accumulation (4th pic)

 

Where is that ?

 

Looks like my backyard.

 

near Raidum BC

 

I’ve got that fan, and used it a few times, it works pretty good. Probably way better in a smaller rtt, but we usually need more air flow in our bigger ground tent, so most of the times I just use my Milwaukee M18 fan.
But the light is a nice feature, so is the remote. If ours came with a remote it’s long gone now.

 

That explains it...

BC side of the Rockies gets all that wet Vancouver air and then hits the wall of stone. Not sure I'd sleep under a roof with that much snow on it unless it was steel reinforced with overpass I-beams... lol

 

That thought never even crossed our minds haha, we were most concerned about walking under the roof to get into the cabin, people die from roof avalances believe it or not.

 

looking at that, I believe it. I'd also worry about suffocation in the night if the entrances and windows all ended up blocked in the night...

 

Last weeks trip through the Ozarks

 

Quick- unexpected trip to the Ozark's! Beautiful!

 

I use the same one in the spring and summer and its great. The airflow makes a big difference in your tent.

 

Looking to put in an inverter in the cab before my next trip, anyone know if you can control the on off with a switch pros?

 

Anyone know what type of cases these are, looking to do a similar mount on my rack but can't find any info on them.

 

ok will go check my local HF, curious how they mounted them on the rack

 

Finally had some time to do some fab to get power to the bed. Designed a quick waterproof box and 3d printed to find in place with the bad rail system.

 

Nice job.

 

Was visiting Las Vegas for a couple days so we decided to rent an RV and visit some national parks. Took the kids out to their first time camping and RVing.

 

Spent a few days camping in Western MD. Weather was bipolar to say the least.

 

Good stories are written in times like those^^^^
