    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    Trip number 2 went well. 2 nights in the Cherokee National Forest. Added a table to the kitchen, which was really nice. Made a list of to do's and things to buy. The wife, son and dog LOVE it up there, super cozy. A bit of a pain to get out of to pee in the middle of the night, but not much...

    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    Only second time out with the trailer this weekend. Added the 4' fold out table which helped a lot. Still have A LOT of work to do. Made a bunch of notes this weekend. Will be reading this entire thread for ideas. Food storage in right side of silver box on the front. Kitchen stuff in...

    Camp Poop (sorry for the bluntness but I want to know)

    Thanks for starting this thread. This has been on my mind. Historically I have been a hole pooper. But I tend to agree there are too many people out there pooping poorly and I do not want to be a part of it. Maybe on a backpacking trip in the middle of nowhere but even in dispersed camp spots...

    Nomadic 270 degree awning form Overland Vehicle Systems

    Yeah, I guess I have the OVS Nomadic LT. Maybe that is why I do not consider it to be especially difficult to pack up.

    What else do you use your GMRS for? How handy are they?

    Not to mention having a walkie talkie in my hand always makes me feel important and powerful. That is worth the price of admission right there.

    Nomadic 270 degree awning form Overland Vehicle Systems

    I just bought one as well. Only have a couple deployments on it and while I would not call it easy to pack up, it seem to be managable. The last time I put it up it went pretty smooth. I did add zipper pulls to it the first time I used it because I was struggling a little. But so far so...

    What else do you use your GMRS for? How handy are they?

    So I am looking at getting a GMRS radio. But at this point it seems a bit like a novelty to me. Don't really have plans to go to any rallies, just too busy raising a 10year old and pursuing other things. We do go out on adventures with friends and family, it would be nice to have a more...

    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    Thanks! The scissor jack works well. I think gas struts would be pretty nice too, and if you are going custom I would look into that avenue as well. We are taking it out for a fun adventure this weekend, will post up some pics.

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    Hello from Chattanooga! Not sure I would call myself and overlander, but I love to camp in off the beaten track kinds of places so maybe I am. We have been using my wife's 2wd Renegade as our adventure vehicle for the last 3 years. Which with 3 of us and a dog is quite a feat. Getting all of...

    Camp saw.

    I make these bow saws, I carry one of these with me. They will wear out a 4 to 6" log, right through it! This is one I made my brother a couple of years ago for xmas. Might be my nicest one yet . I have also been known to just bring my small chainsaw when I am staying local.

    U.S. Park Pass

    We went on a road trip and visited 4 National parks last summer. We had a 4th grader in the car (actually a rising 4th grader) and we got in free to all of them!! They did not card him, so if your kid looks close to 4th grade you can probably get one. He loved to make the joke that we owed...

    What do you guys do with your dogs?

    Our 45 lb. blue heeler slept in our tent with us. Now that we have a RTT she sleeps up there as well. We have only done 1 trip with the RTT so far and I just lifted her in and out, not ideal but it works. I have 2 ladders for our tent, might convert 1 into one of those ramps.

    Overland Dogs

    Our 4 year old rambunctious blue heeler has been on every camping trip with us since we adopted her at 8 months. As a matter of fact she slept in our RTT for the first time a couple weekends ago and did great. Now just need to figure out a better way to get her in and out of the tent. We took...
