Coming from the Auto Rack world - I can give you 100 reasons why you shouldn't use a roof top tent, but they are sooooo convenient and comfortable - especially when they've got those sweet little side rooms that cover the ladder and add extra living space, etc. Nonetheless, I stick to the...

Here's my Top 3 for Lanterns and Illumination out there now: All three are durable, dependable, bright as the sun, and long lasting I've had the opportunity to use all three long term and I can't complain about any of them. (in no particular order) Princeton Tec: Helix...

I would do a random google search to see what's out there and then narrow it down to what you really like - and then start hitting the forums to see what people think about them. These guys are intense: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/

With any RTT, you want to make sure you're rack is low and has as many mounting points as possible - directly to the roof. Otherwise, and more importantly, you need to make sure the rack looks EFFING AWESOME! Which these do...

Around $250 - depending on if we source the material and what it is..

@Steve - Thanks, man! It's one of a few we've designed based on our experiences out there in the weird and wild. And that's exactly what the notch is for - running a ferro rod for fire. Way way way too many people run the ferro rod against the blade edge and it ruins the knife - so we baked in...

My wife and I have both had ProClip holders in our vehicles for the past 7 or 8 years without fail. The drawback is that they are vehicle specific and some vehicles have great mounting options - others don't. Case and point: We both own Toyota and the mounts are solid. In fact, mine is dialed in...

This is my Ragged Mountain Knife Works Starnettle "Acre". It's a modified design of the original "Starnettle" that we originally created for a couple of homesteading youngsters. D2 Steel, tumbled. Ram's horn handles. Titanium Hardware. Swimming Pool Green G10 bead.

My mindset, being that someone who has been backpack camping since he was a kid, is that now that I don't have to carry my gear - I might as well have some luxuries. However, I find those luxuries are more in comfort than in technology. Sure, I bring solar panels along and the like - but pillows...

While driving cross country - and sleeping in our tents wherever we could set them up after logging serious miles - we decided to sleep in a Tipi camp outside of Zion. I can't remember the name of it, but it was minutes from the entrance - and awesome. Their showers were like Turkish palaces!

1. Arrive before dark. 2. Do all of the grunt work. 3. Beer 4. Fire 5. Beer

I too am a fan of the tried and true "Bernzomatic" method! The most unique method I've used was more nostalgic than anything - 200 year old flint and steel!

Both passive (by putting it on the vehicle and walking away) as well as aggressive (because they look bad ass). Sounds like me!

No worries! Thanks you. I've lit fires 100 different ways - but this was not only effective - but fun and impressive. It's like a little survival science kit.

Oh my... That;s some sweetness right there!

Many moons ago, Thule had a "Professional" line of racks and accessories - and nestled within that offering was an awning. The son of a gun was massive in size, came in at over 80lbs and was way too expensive to compete in the market; so it never really did. I used it and loved it, but like...

My apologies for not being able to answer your question: but I look forward to the development of your camp. Congrats on this adventure!!!!

I'm still stuck on the matching wheels and tires - that's completely awesome. Attention to detail! Our rigs may have scratches and dents - but at least all of our stuff looks damn good!

Build one and let us know - great idea Ryan!
