tent

Hey all, I have a whole grocery list of plans for my 2010 FJ this year. Starting with a bumper and winch install as soon as the weather gets above freezing here on Long Island. One of my goals to complete before the summer is a DIY roof top tent. I've been doing a bit of research and I've seen...

We've been camping for many, many years, both for holidays, Scouting and Overlanding. Over the years we've used a variety of ground tents and roof tents. For us, each has it's merits, depending on the type of trip. Long term stops - 3 or 4 days or more, ground tents win for us - set up and no...

Hello, How have you set up your sleeping arrangements for Overland trips. Does it change depending on the trip? Do you sleep inside your vehicle on a custom built set up, in a tent on the ground or in a RTT (roof top tent). Please post photos and descriptions of your setup.

Practically new, only used for about 7 nights. Very durable 100% cotton duck canvas with Hydra-Shield. Watertight and breathable. 10' x 10' with 6'6" ceiling height provides plenty of room for walk around comfort. 2 large doors front and back with #10 YKK zippers. 4 large windows with mesh. 72"...

Hi, my name is Nathan and I work for iKamper, manufacturer of roof top tents and outdoor products. Our newest RTT, the Skycamp, has really taken off on Kickstarter and we're planning on showcasing it at the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff May 12-14. The thing is, our factory is based in South...

For the longest time, I never gave tent stakes a second thought. They come in their own little bag with the tent ready for the simple task of securing it to the ground. Hopefully that will hold true in windy conditions too! But then the inevitable happens. You find that one hard spot...

I've had the same sleeping bag for almost 10 years and it might be time for something else. It's a bag from The North Face with my name all over it. Really! It's called the Big B! It's a 20* bag and has served me well throughout all four seasons. Snow camping required some extra layers on me and...

So I freelance, and it requires me to drive into LA for meetings and overnights in hotels. It occurred to me that I could head towards Malibu and stay in one of the coastal campgrounds on some of my trips. My question is, what kind of tent would you use? I need to park in a garage during the...

Hey everyone- I want to get a roof rack in the future on my (2016) 4runner that can accommodate my Tepui Tent. Not a serious buyer at the moment (unless you've got a deal on a used one for me) but I was curious if anyone has one already, has photos and/or advice on what to get. (More on the...

Hi Everyone, I am new to overlanding and this is my very first post! My wife and I live in Chicago and we are planning an epic summer trip to the Pacific Northwest and then up to Alaska. Total trip estimate is 6 weeks. We are looking into rooftop tents and are excited for our adventures to...
