yeah, they are a gamechanger for cold weather camping. i think whole setup was $120. everything in 1 vechical makes getting back in nf and blm land a lot easier yelp, Im full blown in on the diesel heater research right now trying to figure out best buy.

i think the 5k and 8k are the exact same unit. if you are going to be camped out for few days you're going to want to run off a second battery, they draw about 10amp for start up and shutdown witch is about 15min, once warmed up draw about 1 1/2amps an hour.

Daughters are pushing hard to hunt with me out west, more, and honestly some states have pretty exceptional youth tag opportunities. My wife suggested that my way of rolling out a canvas bed roll on ground or back of the truck is probably not the best way to keep the daughters engaged when we are 2-3 days in on a hard hunt. She wants me to buy Supertramp Camper or OEV camper… I want more of a less fragile GFC or Dirtbox.

I've done rustic for a long time (and sometimes downright suffering), and my back doesn't really appreciate it anymore. About 13 years ago, we decided that comfort was a bit more meaningful. And rarely a year goes by when this thing has been covered in deer blood. Over 38k miles and counting. Nice set up. Thank you, sir.

Then guys will ask sweet or unsweet tea, high fence/low fence etc. They usually wont ask about politics cause nobody figures anyone will admit to being on the "other side". Probably smart to lurk and read the room instead of jumping in and giving a bad first impression. That gets you a vote from me. Nowwww, what was the topic?

An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

My Dad had a client that was an Ag or shop teacher (i misremember which), that's students converted small (10x10 maybe) portable buildings into small camp houses that were wired to run lights off of 12v deep cycle marine battery, with a small cabinet, and a pair of bunks on one wall. Lost that during Hurricane Ike, so I bought a Capri cowboy camper that we put in the back of my old V-10 Super Duty. That sucker went all over the place on hunts, Then the old man and my Uncle Bill took it on a fishing trip to Rockport, and got t-boned which killed both the truck and camper. Our next lease had a camphouse so it didn't much matter. Then my Dad and other uncle bought our current place, and we have a small toyhauler that is used strictly for sleeping as my Uncle built a 30x30 metal building on a slab to house side by sides, 4 wheelers, tractor, etc. Which has since had a full bathroom installed, a full kitchen, satellite tv. so we are hardly roughing it these days. They both talked about building a cabin so Mom and Aunt Debbie would enjoy visiting. But, after Dad passed that talk has kinda faded away.
Some days you're the pigeon, other days you are the statue!
