Car Camping off the 395 | Inyo National Forest

On this adventure, I camped along the 395 on my way to Lake Tahoe to meet up some friends. I wanted to break up the trip in half and this was the perfect midway stopover. Plenty of space and was all by my lonesome. Just me, the trees and some good beer and food!
And apologies for the clipped audio! Still trying to figure out a solution for when it gets a tad bit windy.

    Hey neighbor another great video there of your pitstop on your way to Tahoe. I wonder every time I see your vehicle when you're going to get out another relaxing video. Yeah I'm getting the itch to get back out there for another couple days. ✌️ Out Elijahdon

    I know it’s a never ending struggle; but your setup is smooth. I just picked up that COSTCO box… love it. You’ve introduced me to some great spots ( but where is this one, I know Lytle Creek… is it dispersed, yellow post? Regardless, great great spot). Hopefully we’ll run across each other soon. That pasta looked FIRE. Don’t know why I thought this was Lytle. But INYO… ?

    I’m trying to keep the setup as simple as possible with only the essentials I need. The Coho box was too good to pass up especially in the color way haha. This was a dispersed spot Owens River Road: www.campendium.com/owens-river-road. Very nice spot with plenty of space to spread out. Yea maybe I’ll see you outside one day!

    This was in the beginning of June. Warm during the day but was actually pretty chilly at night. I’m still planning what the next trip is but hopefully during July 4th weekend. Salamat!

    These are my first set of ATs and I’m pretty impressed by them. Quiet and comfy on street but grippy on dirt/sand/snow. I drive a bit spirited and kinda surprised that they also corner well at speed. For recording, I mainly use a Sony A6300 and my GoPro Hero 11.

    This was at a dispersed camping spot on Owens River Road: www.campendium.com/owens-river-road. Plenty of spots to set up camp over there.
