    Just an update on my privacy tent issue. Quick Pitch has sent me a replacement unit. I am very pleased at the final outcome.

    How many have/use a rtt annex?

    We have used ours a few times. When it's chilly I set up the buddy heater in the annex. We have sat inside away from the wind. The potty was set up in there a few times as well. Before the addition of the ensuite. (Which is still broken. I would not recommend drifta for support or quickpitch...

    Privacy Tents

    That looks like a very nice tent. I may have been vague in my question. I am looking for shower/ bathroom shower tents. We have a roof top tent, and have a fold out privacy tent on the otherwise of the truck. Looking at my options to replace the broken one I have now. Thanks for sharing

    Privacy Tents

    Wow, that's nice and big! It's everything in one package. Very nice. I am looking for fold outs mostly. Although I do prefer that for a multi-day setup. Thanks

    Privacy Tents

    I will indeed check them out. Pricing is great. I paid $600 for mine. I only used 3 times before the pivot seized, and the metal arm bent. I just received an email from the Quickpitch. Drifta told me I must have done something wrong, and I was on my own. Quickpitch offered to ship the parts. We...

    Privacy Tents

    I am looking to replace my current faulty "Quick Pitch En Suite" privacy tent that I bought from Drifta. I need to increase my wife's comfort when we travel. What is everyone using? Positive/ negative experiences? Cost? Expensive is not a guarantee of quality. Thanks for your help.

    Thoughts on the Garmin Montana

    In full operation mode it has 12 -18 hrs of battery. In expedition mode it last for many many days. You have to read the literature, but I leave mine in my gear bag for a week or more in between trips and it has power when I use it again. It charges from a USB-c. I have it sitting in its mount...

    Thoughts on the Garmin Montana

    It is really tough. Brick like even. The worst part is carrying it. I purchased a kydex like holder from Amazon. I leave my vehicle for a few hours for the hikes, then put it back into the vehicle mount. No issues with battery yet. You can extend battery with expedition mode. I did have an...

    Thoughts on the Garmin Montana

    I have been using the Montana 700i. I was really interested in the use of inreach in my GPS unit. I connect to my samsung tablet. I use the connect and explore software, as well as Gaia, onX, and offroad explorer. The Garmin software on the tablet is OK. A bit of a learning curve. Garmin...

    Garmin Overlander

    I went to install it. It is no longer readily available. "BaseCamp development has been discontinued".Jan 7, 2019" I may be able to find an .apk to install on my tablet. Is this your understanding? I didn't look for a pc version yet. EDIT: I found a download link for the PC version. I will...

    Garmin Overlander

    That was a big reason that I chose the Montana. The inReach was super important because if you drive 1 hr from town your cell reception is crap. I give the wife frequent preset "I'm ok, here I am " messages.

    Death Valley

    In my opinion it would depend on what you want to be doing there. Drive through on a day visit? Today it is only 103. It is supposed to get to 110. I would not make plans for DV for a few months but that is me. I am currently looking for cooler trip ideas for myself. North and higher elevations.

    Garmin Overlander

    I use the Montana 700i. I looked at the overlander and I like it. I just thought that the Montana was more practical for out of vehicle use also. I really was interested in the inReach capability, the overlander will require an additional inReach device to give this ability. When I get to a...

    HUMAN FECES

    My last overnighter I found multiple piles where people had done their business and just piled little rocks on top of the poop and TP. Like little cairns. They didn't even bother to dig at all. What do they think will happen if everyone does this? I guess I should not be shocked at this type of...
