I find a lot of useful information on Expedition Portal but also a lot of shite; plain old camping trips re-labeled "overland expeditions" in vehicles costing more than recreational property, gilded in overwrought aftermarket accessories made possible by credit card debt. This is the only thread that I have read every single page, since I'm a dirtbag who has no respect for any political, religious or fraternal organizations and I prefer to live below my means and disgust the Joneses rather than keep up with them.
Anyhow, here's my junk, a poverty spec. regular cab manual-everything Tacoma built with secondhand and almost-cool aftermarket crap to get me into scenic camping and hiking spots while simultaneously providing roughly 20 MPG and a reasonably weathertight place to sleep:
Instagram's worst nightmare; hand-me-down Coleman sleeping bag and foam pad, the same pillow I use on my bed at home, a 15 year old Wal-Mart cooler with a broken water drain sealed with RTV, and a genuine Rubbermaid Roughneck dry container not purchased new but found at the Goodwill. Note the background friends struggling to set up a rooftop tent:
I hope this gives me the proper credentials to join the dirtbag club.
PS:
@Crenshaw, mine is also creatively named "Whitey."
