How has it held up to rain? The size/weight of this one is nice. I'm only 5'6" and would be setting up a small roll-up table for the JetBoil and food prep and maybe a chair or two. We have a wide range of weather in Pennsylvania so I try to be prepared for anything.

I'm considering a pop-up canopy for my basecamp setup. This will provide some shelter from rain and sun while not being connected to my truck or needing trees to string up to. There seems to be a vast variety of these on the market. I'm curious if anyone can suggest one. I understand these can...

Are you asking if Overland Expo is worth the price of admission?

I'd be interested. Sorry I'm just seeing this. Life has been pretty busy lately. Keep me posted!

I found that by adding a nice memory foam mattress topper on top of the mattress in my last RTT made a world of difference.

Maybe you were thinking of the official Ozark Trail Overland thread we started after Overland Expo East? We were discussing just this thing, and were having fun with it.

I use Facebook to see what everyone is doing and to stay informed of events and such. I used to use Twitter a ton, but not so much any more, not sure why. I love Instagram because I love photography. I used to share my photos via Flickr before cell phones had decent cameras. Now I rarely use my...

I've gone through so many different setups. I'm back with a roof top tent, but a hard shell roof top tent this time. And I love it. I still have a 3-season ground tent that I can use if I want to camp somewhere that I can't take my truck. It's small, lightweight, and is easy to setup and tear...

That is definitely a win!

I've seen these shift pods. How well does it work in the cold?

Took the dSLR out on Christmas Eve for a drive through Tuscarora State Forest here in central Pennsylvania. This is the headwaters of Laurel Run which at one time was a well known native trout stream. DSC_3894 by Jonathan Smith, on Flickr

I'm wondering if anyone has used/experience with the UCO candle lantern for use in enclosed spaces for light/heat? I know it probably can't produce much heat. But if I'm sleeping on a sleeping platform in the back of my Tacoma, I think a Mr. Buddy heater will be bit overkill. I purchased an...

Dante the Tacoma

Watched the light change every minute as the sun set Saturday. I was busy cleaning/burning brush on my property and had to take a break to capture the moment.

Found a shop to take my Cooper tires off my factory rims and mount onto these Level 8 Tracker Pro wheels I bought from Discount Tire.

Yeah, now I'm seeing why a long bed is nice. There's always pros and cons. FWIW, I have a 3-season tent that I use when the weather is nice. That allows me to set up camp and still use my truck.

So finally I'm happy to be short. I'm 5'-6" and my pup is 25 lbs. so we fit ok. I wouldn't recommend 2 people and a dog. When I have the fridge mounted in there, there is less space which makes it even a bit cramped for me. Though I use the top of the fridge as a nightstand for items in my...

I finally went out and bought some Reflectix for my A.R.E. topper today. Then I thought, what the heck, let's do a quick video that shows the sleeping platform in the back of my Tacoma (2014 TRD Off-Road short bed). So here it is. It's simple 2x6's with a 2x12 that I used as a center beam since...
