I'll chime in here with my input on the T4-Plus. I love it, tons of space, really well made and if you stake out the hubs it can hold up to some serious winds. My biggest beef is with the mesh. It's small enough that bugs will not bother you but it's so fine it doesn't allow much breeze through...

Looks great! What's for dinner?

haha, also heavily endorsed by "Shug" of HammockForums fame.

Think of it as a luxury item, not an essential component. Buy one when you can afford to spend on the one you want, but consider the entire system needed to power the fridge, not just the unit itself. I didn't pull the trigger on one until I knew exactly what I wanted and set aside some cash...

Sounds amazing! The only additions I can think of are a pair of hammocks and a 3rd flask =)

If someone is new to this hobby, or comes at it from only one aspect (off-roading but not camping for example) they may not specifically know what to ask. General questions might give them answers to questions they didn't even consider. I don't think there's been a census, but I wouldn't expect...

and rightly so! haha.

I'm going to toss my opinion for the OP's original question. I'm in the Full-Size truck camp if we're talking extended travel and not just trails. @twiget is by his own description 6 inches and a hundred pounds bigger than me and I do not like riding in mid-size trucks. Pack it full of people...

Nice! I'll check out the vid this evening. The Croatan is such a cool place. It's unfortunate that it has suffered decades of abuse from dumping and litter. Some of what would be amazing camp sites are trashed with broken glass, beer cans, shotgun shells and brass casings. I think I need to keep...

Sorry I didn't see this before your trip. How did it go?

That's a kick in the nuts. I hope it gets sorted out quickly and to your satisfaction.

For my Gazelle T4Plus, I used cam straps lashing it to the cross bars. I would hook a strap to the rear bar, run it along the side of the tent up to the front bar, loop around the tent with the strap and cinch to the front bar. Then do the opposite on the other side of the tent (going front to...

I actually like the thought of a few spent shell casings just outside the tent door.

Maybe it's irrational, but I feel like anyone willing to rummage through a closed up tent for things to steal would be just as willing to cut through a tent wall to get into it. I'd rather come back to an empty tent than an empty tent I can't use anymore. If I'm leaving camp behind for some time...

Stage 5, Acceptance. I have accepted I'll never afford everything I'll ever want on my rig and there's more to explore in my current capability than I'll ever get to see.

There's been a similar topic lately, "Fridge vs. Sliders" and I have the same comment here as I did for them. Which will you get more use out of first/most frequently? For me, I always pack food and drinks that need to stay cold on multiday events and the upgrade from coolers & ice was more...

I'd get the fridge and enjoy it's benefits on every outing. Build up your experience and confidence on lighter trails/obstacles while you save up for the armor. There's plenty to do and see out there without needing to slide on rocks, but you can enjoy cold beer and lavish meals every night at...

Sounds like a nice weekend. Guess those rangers were hoping not to have to make the rounds through ugly weather.

Gorgeous country, and probably the coziest camp chair I've ever seen!

Roger that, thanks. I know Hurricane Creek is a popular trail that can get you there, but as I understand it would be sketchy to try alone in icy conditions.
