Speaking of camping and trailers..... have you been showing Franky some love lately? Or is that going to be a winter project?

Yeah there are a decent amount of advantages to a RTT:
1. A lot of them fold out and can actually be set up in minutes
2. If you do a lot of Dispersed camping you can kind of camp anywhere
3. Critters/Snakes/etc in certain areas
4. If you camp somewhere prone to flooding, you'll stay drier.
Personally, I've never used one although I plan to in the future. It does add a lot of flexibility which I appreciate over traditional camping which I do right now and I camp pretty minimal currently.

Williams Rest stop ?
All these pros and more are found in hammock camping with a fraction of the weight and bulk.
Ok....It's turning into a winter project.
While this is true, I have a hammock tent and I find in CA it's hard to use it. I often go to places with very sparse tree's (or when backpacking above the tree line) and a lot of places don't want you to use them, even with the fancy straps, due to tree damage. It was great on the east coast but since moving out west I've debated selling it more than once..
This is a tent and stove experiment from a couple years ago. It fits in the Jeep.View attachment 60220View attachment 60221
It started out as the largest ammo can I could find. Similar to the kind I made my center console out of but wider. I forget the caliber size, but it is about 12h x 8 x 18" long. The telescoping pipe is from a WW2 era scout stove. The rest is home made. It's a rocket/afterburner design with baffles and various fresh air intakes that burns the wood gas.What stove is that? I have been eyeing up a Snowtrekker Shortwall tent for a couple years now, haven't found a wood stove I like yet.
I'm too old for tent camping.
What setup do you have?
I would have to look, I've had it for probably 8 years. I'm pretty sure it's a Hennessy hammock and then using the ENO atlas attachment system and the snake skins for storage.
