Our next four wheeling tent?




This thing looks awesome. I hate camping on the ground and I have a healthy fear of bears, so this looks like the perfect fast setup for us at four wheeling events once our little bird leaves the nest. Of course one of us could sleep in the durango, so problem solved. I LOVE the idea of being safe in the hard sided truck, or above it. Might be a pain with the dogs, but I'm sure we could figure out a system. We would get the family size tent with the two ladders and the privacy skirt for below for changing, porta potty, trickle shower etc. Seems like a cool setup. (and if we ever have to camp in the everglades, which I hope we...will...NOT! we'll be up off the ground and safe. As of now, every time we drive through south FL we gas up in Naples, lock all the doors and don't stop until we hit South Miami. With toy poodles, I can't handle the stress of the alligator threat, which is everywhere in the everglades. We count them as we drive by. It's frightening and fascinating at the same time.) Our current family tent weights like a million pounds (seriously) and takes forever to setup and break down, in my opinion. (since I'm the one breaking camp while Brad goes out for one last trail ride) I like this option instead! Low maintenance and EASE of use is priceless. The older I get, I realize this more and more.

And the nifty lower skirt:


I just wonder how this holds up to the wind and rain. Must do more research. This seems pretty cool though!

Nothing better than hanging out with your four wheeling buddies, sitting around the fire, swapping stories and laughs, on a cool summer night...Then getting a good nights sleep before another day of wheeling!
