:laughing: also just realized, are those in place of your rear view mirror?

What's that other unit you've got below the FTM-400?

Ah right on. That's a cool area.

You can book your own. Look about 4 or 5 comments up and you'll see the link to where to book. Pumped you'll be joining us from Maryland! :smile:

Definitely! It's an awesome area to boat around. We'll be bringing our paddleboard.

For those who have already RSVPed ( @THorner , @JButtress , @Sasquatch SC , @BlazingArmoury , @DrivingTacoLoco , @Apdski , @johnniac57 ), we should probably go ahead and reserve our campsites. They tend to get booked pretty far out this time of year. You can book your site here...

Nice, looks like a good option. FYI, it does have a higher amp draw, so it'll run at about 75 watts. That'll give you just over 3 hours of run time on the Jackery 240.

I haven't yet but I'd love to in the Spring. Lately, I've been spending a bunch of time exploring around Jocassee and Keowee.

Good call. It's amazing how far even a small amount of ambient heat can go in a well-insulated bag.

Exactly. Getting your bed/bag/whatever "primed" with heat before you get into it can easily keep you warm throughout the night, as long as you've got a sufficient bag or blankets. When I use to go backpacking, in colder weather I would sometimes boil water, put it into my Nalgene and then put...

If/when we ever need to clean it, we can just have it dry-cleaned. But it shouldn't need washing too often (if ever). It's only going to be used in our bed between our comforter and sheet, so it's not going to be touching us directly and, therefore, won't be gathering sweat.

That's actually not a problem for me. If we ever do use it in our car, all my 12V outlets are ignition-switched (as all 12V outlets should be), so there's no possibility of it draining the battery if we leave it plugged in. But I won't be running it off my car battery anyways. I'll be running...

I don't know anything about the efficiency of any particular heated mattress pads vs. any particular heated blankets. Most likely, I'll be getting something like this: It's a 12-volt travel blanket (designed to be plugged into a 12V cigarette lighter socket, which is also available on the...

They do. All the campgrounds that I'm aware of in that area – Keowee-Toxaway, Devil's Fork, and Table Rock, at least – require a two-night reservation. So you might have to just reserve it for 2 nights, even though you're only staying Saturday. Price-wise, it's actually still reasonable – the...

If we stay at Keowee-Toxaway, yes. The only campground I'm aware of in the relative vicinity of Bad Creek that's first-come first-served is Cassidy Bridge Hunt Camp. It's definitely big enough for a group but since it's first-come first-served, we wouldn't be guaranteed space. However, we...

Right on. Let's do campground both nights then. That'll make things easier, we can just leave our stuff at camp when we go out to venture, and we'll know that we have a place to camp, whereas on the trail there's always the chance that you get out there and there's nothing left. I just looked...

Honestly, it might just be easier anyways to camp at the campground both nights. That way we can leave our camp setup and just go out and drive.

It's only open during hunting seasons, so you're probably right that it's WMA land. I'm not a hunter though, so I'll rely on you and any of the other hunters in the group to say whether it'd be a good idea for us to stay out there. I have seen other off-roaders/overlanders camp out there but, of...

And another absolutely. :smile:

Absolutely.
