Welcome to the endless pit of car/truck camping. My kit is constantly evolving and growing. However my truck is now my filmmaking basecamp and can go anywhere. Come down south and we’ll go do some exploring 🔥 As for sleep system look into a ignik heated blanket to use with your DJI power station. I use it as my base layer. For top blanket get a big aeronaut blanket. Much better than a sleeping bag. For pillow look at a hest pillow

Thanks for the tips dude! Gotta put the wallet in a lock box haha.

My worlds collide, love seeing this as someone who isn’t heavy-duty in that world but loves having an SUV ready for adventure and using it as a motivator for photography excursions is so straightforward yet finally clicking. Thank you and can’t wait to see what this turns into for you!

I can't wait to see where it goes too!

@11:30. Look for a quilt instead of a sleeping bag. They are basically a sleeping bag that you just lay under. You can find them from REI or Garage Grown Gear. STAYING WARM: For warmth, make sure the temperature rating on your gear is appropriate. If it's going to get down to 40˚F ( 4˚C) then you'll probably want a 20˚F (-6˚C) rated quilt or sleeping bag. Also, pay attention to where you might be getting cold, if it's your back then you'll want to have insulation under you. A compressed sleeping bag won't insulate your back. PILLOW: As far as a pillow, I'd recommend bringing a pillow like you use at home. That will be your best bet, but if that's too large then try something like a Klymit Drift Pillow. Love that you are adding this into your mix! Thank you for the great content.

Was going to make the quilt recommendation as well! For the beginning bringing a pillow from home definitely helps you transition if needed.

This has been epic. A tip on the sleeping situation, if you are in something a bit more spacious like a rooftop tent or a swag (something we do here in Australia) bringing along an actual blanket/doona and a regular pillow does wonders. Yes it takes up a bit of space but sometimes you can keep the blankets/doona in the tent to keep the space available in the vehicle.

Ohhhhh also that coffee kit is dope AF!

Fun hey!?

You may want to think about getting a quilt instead of a sleeping bag such as the Zen Bivy system. It gives you plenty of room to flop around and can be just as warm as a sleeping bag. I highly recommend watching videos by Justin Outdoors. You did not mention having a sleeping pad, but there are a lot to choose from that will increase comfort and keep you warmer. Good luck!

Awesome share. I ended up with the Inspired Overland rooftop tent. Very thin profile so I don’t worry too much about parking underground in the city and less expensive than other brands… plus they have a warehouse in the Vancouver area. Suggest buying a few cheap solar charging lights. They are very useful around the campsite. Also, carry bear spray. Hopefully you never need to use it. Thanks for sharing your setup. See ya on the road.

If you build a drawer system for the rear hatch, you won’t regret it. I built one for my 4Runner last summer and I made a video about the build. It two side by side drawers with a slide out table underneath. I use it all the time!

I actually looked into this quite a bit, but there is storage in the back of the car that lifts up from the floor, so if I put something on top of that, I would lose access to that storage. Still pondering on this a bit.

Amazing! Thanks for coming along on my adventures!

I ended up building out the inside of my car because of a bad experience in a friend’s rtt during a storm, well that and the idea of trying to get my dog up there with all my back problems. Some unsolicited thoughts from having gone down this path: Take a real pillow! This is car glamping (clamping?) we dont have to hike stuff in/out! A small DC fridge was a game changer for me, but also forced me down a lot of diy electrical upgrades to keep things charged. Ditch the backpacking cookkit for some real cookware/cast iron, you don’t have to carry it, fix real/good meals. An awning was a good idea but I don’t often use it. Water management was important on multi day trips (spray bottle with water/vinegar for cleaning dishes). Otherwise find things that make it more comfortable and enjoyable.

Get yourself an Aeronaut hoverquilt. While spendy for what it is, you can ditch your sleeping bag and sleep like you do at home. Made a huge difference in comfort for our RTT.

Since you’re based out of your car, you won’t regret packing some creature comforts. You’ll have room to pack both a spoon and a fork alongside your comfortable pillow and a comfortable chair.

As a non driver, I've been wrestling with the notion. Is a car considered photography equipment? My Ebike and escooter is, my Honda metropolitan is... But I stopped buying cars over a decade ago and life has been simpler ever since. If I need a car my city has Zipcar subscriptions, but driving out of the city never seems important enough for me to get a rental involved. So my question to you is..... Is a car photography equipment?
