Very cool. Yes, Lake Jocassee is gorgeous. I've actually never been up to Fontana Dam/Lake. I'll have to venture up that way this summer.

Awesome, thanks for the idea! I love that approach. It almost makes me hope that it's freezing cold this weekend so I can go ahead and give it a shot. :smile:

Haha, exactly. When I watched the demo video I thought "OK, I guess that's neat but when am I ever going to completely take off the bottom of the tent for any reason?" And then after I had the tent spotless in 5 minutes because I could unvelcro the one side I was all like "My gosh, is there...

Heating pad! That's brilliant. :grinning: So @Wandering Bison , you're in a vehicle. That makes a lot of sense but my use case would be slightly different since we'll be in a tent and will need to power it using something portable. @Flipper , are you using yours in a vehicle as well or are...

Does anyone have any experience with using portable electric blankets for staying warm in cold weather camping? Either one that's actually made to be portable via a rechargable battery pack or a "normal" one plugged into something like a Jackery or a GoalZero. I've been researching a lot of...

My wife and I bought the Gazelle T4 a few weeks ago. We've taken it on two trips – third planned for Easter weekend – and it's been amazing. It literally sets up in less than a minute. Breakdown is just as easy. And it's sooo nice being able to stand fully upright in any part of the tent (I'm...

Gotcha, thanks.

Ah, interesting. Haha, yup, that would have been a whole 'nother can of worms. :sweat:

N Nice. What size were you able to fit on there?

Ha, yeah, that'd be pretty sick. Major kudos to whoever did the body work on that Frankenstein job. If it didn't look so ridiculous, you'd never know it wasn't meant to look that way because the lines on it are perfect.

Not having to justify your expenses to anyone definitely helps. :tearsofjoy: What tires did you go with?

Good to know. For the rockier sections that you guys encountered, was there ever a "safer" path or was it pretty much there's one approach to take and you're either prepared for it or you're not?

Dang, that's awesome. How'd you achieve that additional ground clearance? I believe the stock ground clearance on that Outback is just shy of 9". That's a significant increase.

Wow, 14" of ground clearance? Are you measuring that from the lowest point on the underside of your car? If so, that's amazing.

While you're addressing the ground clearance issues, you might as well go ahead and add on another set of wheels and a small truck bed with a roll cage. :tearsofjoy:

Dang! I really want to go but I'll be at a wedding in Branchville, SC that weekend. Never heard of Branchville, you say? Exactly. :unamused::disappointed:

I'm definitely interested in a trip to Uwharrie.

Are you able to share that route on Gaia?

That pumpkin on the snorkel is both terrifying and amazing. :tearsofjoy:

It's like it was made for that location. :grinning:
