When we're out for a quick over-nighter and don't want any fuss or muss, a super-easy option we occasionally go with are the Food Saver bags. We'll throw left overs or restaurant-bought meals into a Food Saver bag, seal them up, then when at camp, boil up a pot of water over the camp fire, throw...

Jumping in on this topic a bit late. I've only done dispersed or primitive camping in the last year or so (e.g., BLM land or fire roads). The few times I've done an over-nighter on back roads or fire roads I was on my own and I just sleep in the rig. I only will do dispersed camping with the...

Haven't quite gotten the hang of rubbing two sticks together to get a fire going so I bring my Snowpeak butane-powered blow torch to get coals going, start a camp fire, weld a crack in the bumper, etc.

That Coleman oven is on the wish list! However, does it only come with the single rack?

I've been starting to research the same trip also. This weekend would be perfect with the heat wave rolling into SoCal. We're looking at organized campgrounds though as I didn't realize dispersed camping may be available. Also, with the construction on the 198 are you seeing that being a factor...

I've been binging on Jake's channel for the last few weeks. Should be all caught up within days. Living the dream!

Wow! Where is this!? Dispersed camping allowed?

That is excellent!

We occasionally use a Kelty (forgot the model) free-standing, enclosed shelter mainly used for bug protection. The Kelty makes sense if we stay multi-nights at the same campsite but recently we've been moving sites daily so we're relying on the ARB awning more and more. I just purchased the ARB...

I usually frequent gas stations for potable water. Camp sites have allowed me to fill up also. As @irwonjackwhitton has suggested with the filtration system, I plan to start carrying mine on specific trips. Generally, water hasn't been the major concern compared to other considerations (for me...

If the forecast dips below the mid-40's it's usually me going by myself out there. The coldest temperature I've camped in is the low 20's. I bring a propane heater for the 2-man tent. I run a sleeping pad (dunno the R value), and a mummy-style sleeping bag rated at 23 degrees. Clothing-wise...

If it's just the family and I we use the Lexan reusable utensils but in larger groups it's out of our control. We try to generate as little trash as possible. Not just because of the ecological impacts but often have to haul out our trash.

Breakfast: oatmeal typically will do but occasionally eggs and sausages. Lunch: easy peazy sandwiches Dinner: this is not my favorite but it ranks up there in taste and ease. We have a folding steamer tray which will fit into the larger of the two nesting Ti pot. In it we'll steam those Costco...

I have a Goal Zero Yeti 400 which I charge using the onboard 12V when we're driving. It's plenty for what we need, and so far I'm not left wanting. Beyond that, I have a couple of folding solar panels to charge phones, small devices, and battery packs when we're in camp. Generally, power isn't...

We use a regular trash bag in camp, then tie it up and toss it into a box on the roof rack. A Trasharoo is on the wishlist but not at the top of the list.

Excellent! Does it pack pretty compactly? And am I seeing that you're running it over the white gas burner?

My tablet. I usually download a movie or Youtube videos to watch right before turning in for the night.

It depends on the situation. If I'm out on a fire or back road, then I sleep in the rig. For me it's more a safety issue. Otherwise, if I feel comfortable where I am I'll use the tent. If I'm with the family, tents are the only option but then again we're going anywhere we're not comfortable...

Beautiful pics. Keep 'em coming.
