    rtt and a boat?

    Sounds like you need a trailer. I've got a truck that I sleep in and pull a kayak/gear trailer. The benefit is that I can set the fishing gear up near the water and park the expensive truck on higher ground. I have also found that if it is late and the combo gets stuck, I unhitch, dig the...

    Best Treatment To Prevent Rust On Undercarriage?

    I've used a wire brush and some rust killer spray paint as a touch up to spots I find after fishing trips. But I always wash my vehicles after salt water fishing trips so I don't have that long contact rust issue. I'm also curious if anyone has ever tried a sacrificial anode, usually aluminum...

    Copper Breaks State Park?

    I've never been to that one but it looks nice in the pictures. I'm my experience, the "less popular" are often the nicest ones. Gotta remember that "most people" want a place to park a 40 ft granite countertop, dual AC land ship so they can watch tv somewhere else. If you don't want to risk an...

    I haven't been out there on years! That's a very interesting area.

    Central TX Monthly meetings

    Won't be going to this one. I've got to keep the generators running and tunes blasting for a friend's wedding that day.

    Best Pickup Truck Tent Method

    I went between the topper and tent with a prototype pvc frame and tarp. It was cheap, convenient, and worked very well for me. It should be nice when ambient temps aren't 90 degrees. I might go to a topper if I find a deal but for now this works.

    Tent frame for camping over tent-peg-proof substrate

    The last trip all I had were oyster shell and grass. [emoji1] In the pop up canopy tent, was it under the canopy or off to the side? How sturdy is it? Where I like going 10-15 mph wind is considered mild and have been out there more than a time or two when 30+ mph wind whipped through and...

    Tent frame for camping over tent-peg-proof substrate

    On my little green tent, I had planned on building an internal frame but the project kept getting put off. When I forgot the pegs I improvised with a pop up canopy. On the truck canopy I kept the exterior pvc so it is less likely to scratch up my truck and fishing rods or rust from the...

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Traded my little jeep patriot for something more useful. I also found that my cot fits perfectly in the truck bed so camp sites just got a whole lot easier. I wanted the diesel option but it wouldn't fit in my price range. That said, no complaints about a 5.7 hemi. It also uses the same fuel as...

    Tent frame for camping over tent-peg-proof substrate

    Yeah, my big tent is free standing but the little $20 throw away tent has ended up being more durable than any other one I've owned. I changed my plans and built a pvc truck bed cover that I can throw a tarp over and tie a cot sized mosquito cover in. No more worrying about finding a smooth...

    Road Shower vs. Waterport vs. ?

    An old compressor tank might start rusting and giving you some orange water. They don't paint the inside like they do household bladder tanks. For small water demands, I found a pump sprayer intended for chlorine disinfectants works well for shower and washing off. It is only a gallon so it is...

    Tent frame for camping over tent-peg-proof substrate

    On my last camping trip I found out that when you forget the heavy duty galvanized 10 inch nails at home, setting up camp gets tricky if the site is harder ground than your pegs... so it got me thinking. Can you build a frame slightly larger than the footprint of a tent with hooks on it for...
