Just be sure to buy one that they accommodates your "girls"... Hey not judging ... Some guys like fat chicks. As a fat guy I'm not one of them. lol

That being said when I go to buy a RTT I'm going for one with an annex with an entry into a 3+ man tent on the inside. I want the heat from a small heater to seep up into the tent like Roger uses.

I'm going to gusset the shit out of the rack and go ahead and do an AAL on the Dakars for the fat chicks.

Yeah the Overland+ is a 3 person tent with the overhang. So you enter through the "bottom" and the annex goes around the ladder. Annex is something like 8'x8' so there's enough room to put a queen size mattress down there as well making it 4-5 person with the annex.

I have a similar one that I've had about a year. Comes in real handy on trips, I'm planning to stick it in my jacket pocket tomorrow when I go to the Dr. since I'll be there all day.

I used the shit out of my portable battery charger the past couple days. Recharged my phone twice and my tablet (Toshiba Excite 7.7) once... thing still has 1/2 power left! One thing I forgot though was to bring the charger cable for my Jaybird Freedom bluetooth headphones, they lasted about 7 hours or so watching movies. BTW, those things are awesome headphones. No cords, sweat proof and they are damn comfy. I have the original ones, a little bigger than the new Freedom Spirit but still pretty small, battery lasts longer.

I bought those too, expensive little shits, battery crapped out on me just over a year of owning them, the only way they work now is if they are connected to the power source otherwise no charge at all. I bought a plantronics set now a bit cheaper and just as wireless.

My oversized Tent Cot is nice, but it's so fricking big to haul around and it's hot as hell. So I'm gonna try this. Used my REI dividends and 20% off coupon. I had the Byers Maine cot already to use it with. I like how it lacks up small and has a lot of mesh. Nemo Switch 1P.

Way to support a company that wants to close Canyonlands to us...

Yep.. I figure for what I paid that REI may have lost money on that single purchase.

Jesus, that first tentcot thing looks hard as hell to get out of. I forsee Sean drunkenly cutting his way through that. lol

Maybe if/when I build an off-road trailer. Right now I want to park in the garage.

Then I can fall out of a tent as I cut a hole in the side. lol

I don't want my RTT sitting down low. I want to be able to walk under it when its open.
