We took a little time this weekend to get some yard camping in because the weather was beautiful. The mrs. was a little under the weather with a sinus infection (she got the side eye a lot every time she sneezed or coughed) and we couldn't go too far away. So, I spent the better part of the weekend fiddle farting around a backyard campfire and cleaning the rooftop tent.
I'm not sure how much longer we'll keep this tent setup. The tent & trailer combo has been great the last three years, especially when we lacked space in the Jeep. However, as with the Jeep the tent is getting a tad small for the four of us and the dog. That and I'm not too keen on climbing a ladder at 3am for to return the rented beer. A Kodiak 10x14 tent is in our future, which also means we can keep everything in the truck. Not having the trailer means we have to pay more attention to payload, and we avoid carrying a ton of extra "what if" gear. That kills the Boy Scout in me, but it makes the challenge of fine tuning our gear needs fun.
