![RAIN and STORM Camping in a crazy Tent [ SOLO Relaxing next to a Creek, ASMR ]](/img/n.gif)
I am originally from Australia and traveled on lots of really dusty roads, I found to stop dust you need to have a small opening at the front of the canopy, this then pressurized the inside of the canopy and stopped the dust that swirls at the back of the vehicle being sucked into the rear through any gaps.. the weather stripping and mat you installed will also help in that regard.
Could you please elaborate, mate?
Only think you need is a tailgate assist! Best $15 I’ve ever spent to have the tailgate drop slowly when opening from the inside
The 6.5’ bed makes a difference. Good video and topper. a 5.5’ truck bed and a tall hunter has challenges.
I also have a 5.5 bed and am 6'. I have found a cot that folds up and i put it in diagonally and that helps but man it takes up more room. How do you have yours set up?
@@megacountryboy03 I put the tailgate down and secure a rain fly as needed. Not elegant.
I’m 6’1” and I’ve got a short bed with a DECKED and topper
I’ll lay a sleeping pad diagonally on the DECKED and I’ve got plenty of room
I too have a Tacoma and am over 6'...lol
Seriously, what's up with this? I am 6'3" and drive a 2016 Frontier crew cab.
well done. I agree the platforms people build are to cumbersome if you want to use the truck as a truck to haul. for my bed I use a roll-a- cot because it too straddles the wheel well but your cot with a mattress is much more comfortable. The cap with opening side windows is a real game changer I'm sure. Very nice.
Creating the right set up is always a challenge, it's nice to see you've sorted out one that works great for you. Mine now involves two tons of camper trailer.
One of the best systems i have ever seen! Simple and to the point!
My setup is similar, but I use clear bins for ease of visibility and leave the tops off since they are inside. I use a milk crate to carry my 5 gal toilet, then at camp I flip it upside down to be my step stool to get in.
I like the cot! Love my 8’ bed for doing this, more room for coolers and gear. The weather stripping is a nice twist. Help keep out bugs as well.
Nice, simple and very mobile. Clean setup . I also used to have a slide in camper, but it was just too much back there that wasn't great for easy mobility. I sold it. I bought a cab high truck canopy and it's been great--easy in every way to get my stuff together and go.
Great job 👍🏼⛰🗻🏞🌄
Love the simplicity of your setup. Well thought out. Keeps your truck versatile.
Absolutely: the dust comes in from the gap under the tailgate. Great job on the cot.
Your truck hunting/camping set-up videos are excellent!
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice setup.
Awesome setup. I bring my Weber Q grill with stand and 20lb propane tank with griddle plate and a tiny 2200i super quiet generator for coffee, boiling water, lights at night, etc.
Great Job on the video Truck camp Thank you for sharing this great information your always trying to test and make changes
God's Blessings on all your adventures
I did almost the same, but bed height a little higher to allow bins to slide out straight back easy. Add some paracord to pull out a second bin that’s stored at front of bed.
Sweet setup Jace!
Genau so gefällt mir das 👍👍👍
love this setup
Nice one bro. Like it!
Cool set up never thought of a cot I have build a bed frame out of wood then add mattress
Yeah, i like that cot! Great find, good idea!
Thanks 👍
Keep It Simple. I had an over-height aluminum cap with barn-doors on an 8' bed - Ford, and I know about dust. I took a pole-canopy set along with me and a good folding chair. Thanks.
Awesome cot. That makes the whole setup
I did a lot of research on cots before I got one and this one really fit the bill. I absolutely love it
On my 2016 GMC under the bed rails are huge openings to the wheel wells. Tape them up to stop dust coming in.
That bed rug is dope
I love it
Agreed. It makes too much sense not to utilize.
Trading jeep in for F150,thanking of same kinda set up,really like side window idea,thanks for sharing
GREAT JOB 👍 👌
Lots of good ideas. Especially for those like me who like pickup camping !!
Awesome!
Nice set-up! Neat and functional! We need to put weather-stripping on our cap. Driving dirt roads really makes our gear dusty...
It will make a huge difference! Thanks for watching
Well done mate
Nice job. 👍
Great setup, thanks for sharing. I don't get why almost all truck toppers only offer sliding windows. I do realize awning type(Arctic Tern) windows are much more expensive. But everything is more expensive nowadays and paying more for better quality has always been the case. Just seems the awning windows would shed water better while open during heavy rain. The Moonlander is one of the few Toppers that offers awning type windows as a choice in a buildout. But they aren't cheap Toppers. Love how simple yet completely functional and probably less expensive your buildout is. Safe and happy travels Sir.
Like it !
I've made a similar cot setup out of a piece of plywood and some PVC pipe. Has all the same advantages of being able to remove it super easily, but you can also customize the size/height/length of the platform.
GFC. Made in Montana.
It’s a game changer.
Great setup. Truck campers are nice, but would only own one like those made by Four Wheel Campers since the tops raise and lower thus changing the CG.
ALASKAN campers are the best for cold camping.
Try a Roll-A-Cot they fit a 6.5" bed and you can get a sleeping pad at Home depot for ~$30 that will never spring a leak and keep you nice an warm.
Yeah, Roll-a-Cots are very nice, they sell replacement parts, are made in US, and disassemble pretty small.
The large (3 leg) Roll-A-Cot works great in an 8' bed! Made a trip from WA to TX for a pig hunt last year. Easy to disassemble and very compact when not in use, but huge! I use a fabric covered foam mat from Cabelas, for mattress. Truck glamping. 😊
Do you have a link for the Home depot sleeping pad?
Looks good. My truck bed is only 5.5 ft so I’m really limited in using my truck bed for camping.
No fix available? Common guys!
Search CZcams for 5 and a 1/2 foot bed workarounds there are some ingenious ideas out there
Nice Job. I really like the chainsaw😁. Tell Randy he needs one too
that might be a hard sell! hahah😂
Cool
Thanks for sharing. I was considering a popup but I think I'll go for a tall camper shell. How much food and water do you carry? I love your cot setup. Are you able to sit up straight?
Food and water depends on length of trip. Usually always have a 5 gallon jug of water in my truck at minimum. I can sit up straight while sitting in the cot.
Great set up! Love the idea of the carpet for the insulation and dust factor but have my doubts about every day use. Too much of my stuff just gets tossed back in the bed of the truck, especially dirty oilfield coveralls. But then again, my Jeep has carpet and it gets tossed in there as well.
Its not really like regular carpet. Very durable and and moisture wont cause it to mold. I throw muddy gear back there all the time and it is very easy to clean up. I was worried about getting it too dirty as well when I first got it but now I dont even think twice about it. If your on the fence Id recommend it, you wont be disappointed!
Ive had a BedRug in my 2500 for 5 years now. It comes with everything you need to seal out dust, plus velcro's into place & can be removed for cleaning if hou want. High pressure wash, etc. But mine has held up impeccably well. Resists dirt & stains. Easy to brush or vacuum. Special padding underneath the "rug" levels out the truckbed low spots/grooves & makes it easy on the feet or knees. Highly recommend.
That's a great setup. I know because I had one like it in 2008 to 2011 for a GMC Sonoma small truck. Had the topper already on it and started thinking "Why can't a guy make a camping setup out of this?" The stackable totes work great. Unfortunately, the truck was a piece of crap. Had nothing but problems with it and got rid of it.
I like the camper .
Easy to catch you just wait by the truck.
Or the coffee shop?
get it. cot his eye 😂😂😂😂
Can a yeti 210 fit with the cot? My truck is similar with extended topper and the 210 fits perfect in there when you open it up.
I dont know the 210 dimensions off the top of my head but I would imagine it should fit. For reference the cooler in this video is a 110.
I love these truck bed camp setups. But I’ve never figured out what you would do if you did manage to get an elk. Seems like you would still need to pull a small utility trailer to carry all the meat coolers.
You only need two 110ltr coolers for an elk just one more additional to what he already has
If space was a real concern, you could always use a hitch haul, although they bring other limitations...
Get a big bug net put it all over your whole truck 🙂
Those truck camper inserts are designed for 3/4 to 1 ton PUs not a half ton. The rear suspension on a half ton are not strong enough. No wonder it swayed from side-to-side.
What mattress are you using?
At 3:59 of the video it shows the Dis-O-Bed Single L cot at Public Land website for at $139.99. The link takes you to camping world and it is $199.99. What site did you get the cot from at $139.99?
Did this in the 70's
What mattress pad do you have on the cot?
I gave up and use a cabalas instinct 6 man tent for a basecamp.
KOOL
Question....the legs on the cot in your truck look longer than the one in the link you provided. Did you change out the legs? or is it just an illusion in this video? The one int he link doesnt look like there would be enough room to stash a bin under it?
Hi, the cot comes with leg extensions. If you scroll through the photos on the website you will see the longer legs. So you have the option to use it low or attach the extensions and get you up a bit higher.
The disco bed says its 82” in length. I was wanting to get one for my Ram 2500 but was worried it would not fit. Its good to know you were able to modify it to fit!
Great video! I love the simplicity of truck shells. I use mine a lot.
Do you have bad frost/moisture on cold overnights?
No I usually crack a window, unless it’s super cold then I use a diesel heater which helps mitigate any moisture
Cool set up. You must be tall. I doubt I could reach over that bed well.
👍👍
Will the extra lg disco cot fit w/the Yeti?
I’m not sure. This is a single that I modified to fit
What do you do for heat?
A couple of weeks ago, he made a video showing how he set up a diesel heater.
What mattress are you using
Sweet setup. My only question is, where do you fit your gal?😂
If like me, 5th wheel trailer comes along with wife when not hunting solo.
haha good question. When its the two of us I ditch the cot and just lay down a double wide mat. Have to pull all the gear out though!
What kind of mattress is that?
what model Sthil is that?
Look up roll a cot for another cot option
Is there any possibility of getting two cuts in the truck bed
Cots
@@terrancepadilla7217 Maybe! May take some modifications. The Disc-O-Bed cots actually make a bunk bed style cot but Id imagine it would be too tall in my truck.
The only thing you need is a sunroof and a ceiling fan😀😀
How long is your truck bed internally?
I do not know off the top of my head, I would need to re-measure it. I thought it was around 74in but don't quote me on that
One issue with your slide-in camper is you are using it with a half ton pickup, you need to beef up the suspension with a half ton pickup, but I understand the simplicity of what you're using now.
Maybe, but it looks quite light. One for sale said 1300 lbs wet weight. F150s usually have pretty good payload capacity. So would depend on what/who else he is carrying whether going over GVWR of vehicle.
@@jimsomerville3924 yes I agree, but with that much top heavy it's always going to ride better in a 3/4 ton or one ton.
Where do put bear/elk
In the back of the truck...
In the back of the truck. Thats why I like this set up so much. If I really needed to I can tear that cot down in a couple of minutes, but most cases dont even need to do that.
@@JaceMcfetridge thanks
Pro Tip...measure your truck bed before buying a cot😂😎
Haha I did many times. I ordered the cot knowing I would need to cut it down to fit.
you just proved there is no problem you cat overcome if you just throw enough money at it
Leave the bears alone
