Travel Hunters Camp Rig

[bowkill00]

Curious how beasts on this site camp when traveling out of state hunting cheap. Tent/RV/camper shell top or just sleep in the vehicle. I carry a fold up cot in my camper shell on my truck. Any ideas or pics would be appreciated.

I just recently sold a camping trailer that was good for everything. 7x12 box trailer Carson brand. It was a hybrid box/camping situation with Windows, normal side door, electric, lights.

We downgraded to tents and camper shell on the f150. It is a big change but the gasoline savings counts for a lot. Having said that, a small flat trailer is like nothing behind you compared to any box or camper trailer.

Wish I could sleep in my vehicles. That would be nice.

I've got a couple tents and a "tent cot". The tent cot is a good way for me to do a 2-4 day solo trip - basically a cot with a tent shell on it that is tall enough to sit up in.

If I was going for more than just a long week (9 days), I'd do something else but can handle tenting for a week or so.

When hunting remote areas in the U.P I oftern empty out one of my tool trailers and take an air mattress a few sheet of 2" blue board a generator and a ceramic heater. Sleep comfy and warm as can be, and have all the room in the world for stands, equipment and dead critters on the way home.

I setup a blow up mattress in the back seat of my f150 supercrew.

When I went to ND this year it was nice enough for me to stay in a tent at a state park but someday I would like to build something like what Bernie Barringer put together. It's basically an enclosed trailer with some storage, sleeping quarters, power, and a freezer installed.

Did five nights in the truck this year and wasn't too bad. Chose that over a tent since the seats are a bit better in the truck than most cots or inflatable mattresses i've used in the past. That said, i was ready to crawl in bed on day 6.

In Ky we sleep in the shop (with a nice wood stove), but the couple of Ga trips I have done I just used my tent, cot, buddy heater, and 3 piece modular sleep system from my army days. Not gonna lie it can be tough to get out of that bag if it's in the 20s or below and if I went to bed tired and didn't put the clothes I'm putting on in the bottom of my bag I am miserable for a half hour. In Florida I tent camp a lot for short hunts. I really want to get a nice wall tent for the trips I'm planning to start taking in the next few years.

Deerdylan showed me this awhile ago. I'm basically just waiting on a good trailer at a good price. I have a few different modifications in mind.

This year in Ky I stayed in a 8 person tent for a week, plenty of room for a cot and such. If I had to pack in then it would of been my bivy tent. I have no problem with it, just wished I would of set up near a creek to bathe in. I also love back country hunting so I have all the equipment for week trips.

Here's my truck and camper rig that my uncle and i used 4 days hunting some public hill country in Wisconsin in November. If it would have been just me, or for a shorter duration i probably would have just slept in the truck. But the camper makes multiple day forays easier with the 2 of us. Plus then we had running water and a functional kitchen. Not exactly roughing it

I spend up to 5 weeks on the road. I pull a 16 ft camper. The best thing I ever bought was a Honda 3000 watt generator. They are a bit pricy but worth every penny. Hodag hooked me up with the one I got. It was new but scuffed in shipping so I got a great price on it. I don't even notice it running just outside my camper. When my furnace went out I ran the generator all night to run an ele. heater.

Anybody ever have any carbon monoxide problems while using a heater buddy or any propane fuel for their heat sorce in a confined space like a truck camper shell? I guess as long as it's properly ventilated shouldn't have anything to worry ab
