this is our thought as well. We both just turned 50 and the ground isn’t what it used to be

I got a couple of years on you, and I still like the ground.

But I do sometimes take my ultra comfy blow up mattress for the tent.

now think how nice that blow up mattress would be in the bed of a truck

I had an old Toyota van for a while. The style similar to a VW bus. I had a platform hanging with a futon mattress. It was a great and cheap alternative to the fancy stuff. All my gear went underneath the bed.

I’m a big fan of gravity assisting getting out of bed! And for those who get up every 2-3 hours or so in the night (or soon will be)...

I was tent camping last weekend and the folks in the next space rolled up in a pop top van. Setting up my tent and dragging all the crap out of the car to put in it, I will admit to being a bit jelly.

I used to trail hike. Pack it in, tent camp, pack it out. Knee forced a change. Now the wife & I pseudo lux tent camp at bicycle loop ride events. Drive it in, set it up as a 3+ day home base, ride & party, pack it up, drive it home. We've air mattress, folding table & chairs, coolers, lights...

We are growing out of backpacking. We’re calling the next phase truckpacking

Our last tent camping trip was 5 years ago, after 4 straight days of rain dear wife said no more. She told me "If you want me to go camping your getting me a dry place to sleep with AC".

I'm good with platform tents, but they're not exactly something that you roll up and tie to the roof of the car.

Similar here. We camped in heavy downpour for a couple of days. after the first day we had a small stream running through our tent. Dear wife said the next time we went camping shew wanted to camp at Holiday Inn Express.

I agree with her on that. I’m not as young as I used to be.

That’s awesome.
Worst mistake I’ve ever made was selling my Deisel scout II.

Yea I figured it would be my Verlander. But it is almost too nice to resto mod.

I feel like these things need to be driven and enjoyed. Whatever it takes to keep them on the road.

I’m not a fan of the guys who restore old cars and never drive them. I can build a plastic model and do the same thing.
