My next camping gear purchase might be a 2002 Nissan Xterra that needs a new motor for 500...

Nothing yet. I've not heard from @Reichling in a while. I'd love to get something together for the end of the month.

In for updates. I love the xterras. I'm actually looking at one for my next vehicle.

As of right now, I won't be driving the colorado, but I'm going to look at an xterra tomorrow, so who knows. If I don't buy one before the trip, I'll be riding in a red jeep grand cherokee, but will still be going either way.

I just got back from a two night trip with my cpap. Night time Temps were in the 20's,whicha ffects battery performance. I also use a resmed airsense 10. I used this battery for my cpap: And this power supply : Along with these DC to 12v adapters: TThis setup worked great. Two full...

Here are my photos from the trip!

Got back from my trip yesterday afternoon. I have to say, everything that I purchased worked beautifully. Night temps were in the mid to upper 20's, and I stayed nice and warm in the using the 0* bag and the r8.9 sleeping pad. The new stove worked great, and had no problems cooking my dinner. :D...

We're bringing 4 or 5 rigs out. I'm not sure of the total count as of right now though.

You'll see ghcoe and myself there. He drives a late 70's yellow jeep cherokee and I drive a first gen red chevy colorado.

Hey George, any chance I could get the planned route gpx files?

Does this require a pressurized water source? I'd definitely be interested in hearing some more about your shower setup. I'm not doing trips long enough to require a shower, but I'm hoping to change that in the next couple of years.

I thought about grabbing the T3, but the Coleman was cheaper, and has really good reviews as well. I'm not a huge fan of the tiny door on the Gazelle either, though I'm sure I could learn to live with it. A fridge is definitely in the future, as I start doing longer trips. Up until now...

Yeah, I've heard really good things about the 4 and 6 person. Not so much good about the 8 person tents. If I have any issues with this one, I'll return it, and go straight to the gazelle t3 for solo stuff.

I think I got the older one. I'm not 100% sure. This is the one I got: Now, if I could get an estimated delivery date from UPS, that would be awesome. It was originally supposed to be here tomorrow, but it's still sitting at UPS, so hopefully it gets here by friday, since I'd love to use it...

I feel ya. I'm using a 20lb tank right now, but I have room. I plan on getting a 5lb tank in the spring for camping trips. I do still carry one or two 1lb tanks as back up though.

I've purchased all the stuff in my initial list. I'll be using it all this weekend, and we'll see how it does. I've decided I'm going to be purchasing totes next. I've found the Plano ones to be the cheapest at home depot, $25 for the 108qt and 15 for the 56qt. I'll be getting two of each. I'm...

This is something I need to do as well. Without seeing them, right now I'm leaning towards the Plano lockers. I may make a trip to lowes/home depot/Wal-Mart to compare. I've still not figured out exactly how I want to separate my gear.

I use a lp propane tank (20lb atm, but I'm buying a 5lb in the spring), instead. Cheap, refillable, and can run multiple appliances for days off a single tank. Works best for what I do. Those are great finds though. I've never used white gas, and would definitely be interested in trying it.

A shower setup is something I'm thinking about in the future, but don't really need yet. Definitely something to consider. This is why I started this thread.

As the title suggests, I'm looking to start a discussion about purchasing camping gear, and the reasoning behind it. I figure this might help other news like myself think about what they're buying and why, and possibly give folks ideas on how they can further streamline their setup. I'll start...
