Looks like a really nice place on the trail!

That bedroll looks like a good option for something really handy without a lot of bulk.

Something like that looks really good! Here are the two I found:

That looks like a really nice tent but, dang is it expensive! At half price, $300~$350 I think I would get one. Looks basically bomb proof.

Sounds like a military Bivvy is a great place to start with my search! Weight is basically a non-issue since my 'hike' is only ~20' with it. Ease of setup in wind matters so, a lightweight biking bivvy probably isn't a good option for me. I also favor durability over lightweight. I think you...

Those tree stakes look really good!

My search for threads here was not very successful so here I am. I don't need the super light and expensive classic backpacking sleeping pads and the common "Walmart" air mattress is problematic camping and is super bulky. What are the better sleeping mats or pads today? I travel in a Toyota...

As noted in my other thread, ~35MPH winds with a Gazelle tent in soft sand while salt water fishing. My normal stakes work great in "hard" soil conditions but, were useless in soft sand. What are my better stake options for soft sand. Lashing my tent to my pickup sort of worked but, it was...

I spent the past weekend on the beach in Galveston, Tx saltwater fishing. When I arrived late Friday, the wind was blowing ~35MPH. Needless to say, setting up my Gazelle tent was a real challenge! A trim profile "low" tent or Bivvy sack would have been much better. I really didn't need the...

Sewell Ineos in Dallas in a huge BMW dealership too FWIW. The IG forum is a good place for concerns like this one too.

What are these made from? Are they primarily plywood?

With Jeeps, it depends some on 2-door vs. 4-door models due to wheelbase. The short 2-door model to me is a bit of a "pogo stick" on jointed concrete highways. Taller tires, softer tire sidewalls, or a longer wheelbase all help with the bouncing from front to rear axle effect.

First, yes I can back by mirrors, back trailers, etc. and realize cameras are no substitute for poor driving skills. Now with that out of the way ... I am in a 2013 Tacoma with a long travel lift on 35" tires currently. From the rearview mirror I see a small spec of sky between a tire and...

Keep in mind this is more a Prado or GX-550 sized option so, not what I would consider a 'better' option for laying out in back in a sleeping bag. To me, it is an awesome candidate for a RTT and some drawers for the back of the passenger compartment. I got a Taxa Tiger Moth trailer so, a great...
