I'm most likely volunteering at the event again this year. Probably heading down Wednesday. If I leave early in the morning, I can be there sometime in the afternoon. Awaiting feedback from Cyan to know my volunteer schedule. If I'm not rushed, I'll hop on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a change of...

I thought the Trans America Trail started in North Carolina. http://www.transamtrail.com/the-trans-am-trail/ I don't know of any trails from Chambersburg, PA to North Carolina. Can you share this information?

I bought a North Face Stormbreak 2 last week and used it Saturday night. It's a 2-person, 3-season tent that has 2 doors and vestibules. 95% of the time I'm only camping on a Friday and/or Saturday night by myself with my pup. It only took me 5 minutes to set up that tent without even reading...

I had a 270 degree awning and sold it too. Those awnings take some time to setup because they have poles and such that need to be put together. Don't get me wrong, it was kinda nice at times. But just like the RTT, it was a pain to put away if I wanted to move the truck.

Here's how I make coffee when camping. MSR pocket rocket, GSI pot for boiling water, and a simple pour-over filter holder I picked up at Target. Simple, reliable, and very easy to clean up.

I picked up yet another tent Friday after work. I decided to buy a North Face Stormbreak 2 which is a 2-person, 3-season tent. Most of my camping is simply a Saturday night with me an the pup. I'll use my Kodiak Flex-Bow canvas tent for long events and cold weather. I also received the Klymit...

Received my Klymit Static V Luxe sleeping pad yesterday. Can't wait to try it out. Seems a lot better than my old 1" Thermarest. I also ordered sliders from Mobtown Offload in Maryland for my Tacoma. The step bars are completely bent after going off-roading at Rausch Creek last weekend. Next...

Here's the Kodiak Flex-Bow canvas tent.

I think I'm going to add another tent to my inventory. This time a small, lightweight, 3-season tent. Because 99.9% of the time it's only me and my 25lb. dog. Kodiak 10x10 Canvas tent will be used for extended stays like Overland Expo where it will be home away from home. ENO Hammock and rain...

I bought a RTT and used it for a few months. But I sold it and went back to a ground tent. I also have a hammock and rainfly but I haven't figured out how to get comfortable in that yet for a full night sleep. This is only from my experience. I notice some say it is easy setup/tear-down, but not...

I love this when I have a cold.

Last thing I bought... well, actually a couple things. Kodiak Flex-Bow 10x10 canvas tent Cabela's XL cot Firestik CB antenna Relentless Fabrication hood CB antenna mount Cobra 19 CB radio Next on my list to buy: OME Dakar leaf pack Bilstein 5160's Extended brake lines Wheels(?)

I found shopping for my Tacoma to be pretty stressful. I was finding older 2nd gen Tacomas with 50k on them going for around $24,000. But they were 2 hours away, not the color I wanted, and sometimes not the package I wanted (TRD Off-Road). I ended up paying $4,000 more than I wanted for a TRD...

I'm driving a 2014 Toyota Tacoma double cab short bed. 265/75 R16 tires, 3" Bilstein/OME lift, and an ARE cap. For a while I had a roof top tent and awning mounted on my cap. Now on to the fuel economy. I've found that regardless of the roof top tent and awning which I have since sold, I...

I'd add SnoMaster to the list. I bought a SnoMaster TR42 in Flagstaff, Arizona at Overland Expo. When I finally got around to running power to the bed of my truck and had the fridge plugged in 24/7, I was running into some issue with it not keeping to the temperature I had set. I tent to post a...

I've seen those at Overland Expo. Definitely cool factor. But last I checked they were also really expensive. The Kodiak Flex-Bow 10x10 seems to be similar, but as a 6-man tent with straight walls and gear loft. A Mr. Buddy heater will work well in the Kodiak as well.

I have never heard of this process. No filter needed!

I took a trip to Cabela's today and found the Kodiak Flex-Bow 10x10 Deluxe tent on sale for $449. I also picked up their XL cot which is wide and looks very comfortable for $99. And to make things better, my buddy who was with me bought my SUV tent (it's a large 8x8 dome tent that has an opening...

Thanks for this recommendation. This is definitely thicker and nicer than the Thermarest mat I'm currently using (which is only about 1.5" thick). Looks like something like the Exped Mega Mat combined with a cot would provide a really nice sleeping experience.

Do you have photos of your setup?
