    Let’s be honest; Roof Top Tent- Yay or Nay?

    I believe there’s a situation for every kind of camping. I’ve slept in ground tents, pop-up campers, pull behind campers, soft shell RTT, & bed of my truck. The thing I hated most about ground tents are if it rains. It seems like they just never get dry afterwards and they’re so nasty to tear...

    GAIA device options

    Stumbled upon Gaia GPS recently. Only have the free version at the moment and haven’t really got to go out and explore on it yet. Is the paid version worth it? I like that you can lay multiple map layers on it. I mostly would like to have it to keep track of all the National Forestry Roads and...

    Help me understand all the different farkles mounted to your dash.

    At the moment I don’t have all the fancy bells and whistles that some guys have on their dashboards. I recently attached a RAM mount to the A-pillar of my 2nd gen Tacoma. It’s very sturdy and I like that it’s not blocking my A/C vents, radio, view, etc. I just put my iPhone in and turn it long...

    OB Approved Overlanding/Camping with a dog

    Oh yeah the poop bags and leashes stay in the back of the taco. The only time I ever need them is if I take her somewhere. She just roams free in the yard at home. She Just stays beside me where ever I go around the campsight or campground

    OB Approved Overlanding/Camping with a dog

    Took my 2 year old German Shepherd camping for the first time this year. I personally had never took a dog camping before and wasn’t sure how she would handle the situation. There is a campground I frequent in Virginia that is relatively small but usually not very crowded. I get so frustrated...

    I was just up near your area last weekend. Took a day trip up to Grayson Highlands and found a forest road up to a nice camping area just north of the park. Amazing views. Wild horses and longhorns visible all around
