  • I can't believe camping spots like I found in North Carolina are free. Spots like these out west go for over $20.00 or more/day. Most are improved with fire rings, picnic tables and leveled tent sites. They do not have water or electric. They are numbered and after talking to a law enforcement ranger the area is policed and dispersed camping is only allowed in select spots which keeps the traffic down. These spots are also spaced out so you're not right on top of another group camping near you. I was really impressed with the dispersed camping options in North Carolina.
    You can see more of my truck bed camping, fly fishing and road tripping videos on my channel.

    Been in many downpours and storms, it's nice to hunker down and stay comfortable. Your setup looks great, very relaxing. Thanks for sharing 👍.

    Man, that is gourmet! I usually lazily slap together a quick PB&J then race down to the river. New rig looks awesome. Thanks Drew for taking us along! Any new hail dents?? Lol

    Are smaller.

    It is rugged and difficult. I'm fairly new but went to western NC and just getting in a position to cast and fish with the rocks and trees was a challenge. Gonna need some better boots for wading. I'll get the Orvis Ultra Lights you recommended.

    Been meaning to ask- do you have any issues getting (dirt road)dust coming through the tailgate/canopy?
    I get it pretty bad. Have tried various ways of sealing, etc., but still get fine layer all over my stuff - especially if on dirt roads all day.

    • @LooknFishy
      @LooknFishy  Před 2 lety

      I've sealed mine the best I can but still get some dust. Not sure there's a perfect solution. I worry about water more.

      Theres a book I bought a few years back that tells you about all the National Forests in NC. I don't remember the name of it, and loaned it out and never got it back. But all of my normal spots, came from that book. Good luck!

    Traveling and camping in remote areas is it fair to assume that you carry personal protection? You haven’t mentioned it as far as I know. But I always wonder about the crazies that one can encounter.
