DIY Trailer / Roof Top Tent
Published (2009-12-02 18:06:00)
Here is a product idea I’ve been kicking around for some time now and was hoping to get some feedback from the Expo community. What if? There was a DIY Trailer / Roof top tent available? If it had an expedition / outfitter quality, canvas tent body but, you had to put in some “sweat equity” by building the folding based? How does putting in some “sweat equity” appeal to folks? Feedback, input,...

Well, the local outfitter had the Slumberjacks on sale, so we bought 2 of the -20* bags this evening. I'll get a couple dry bags to store them in for trips, and call it good.

this shows the packed size.... see this link for lots of detailed pictures of how I cut the backer board, attached the frame, etc.....Yes there is a center bar and I think it could be removed as well and the hinges...as one can see from the pictures all of the legs and parts bolt together so there is no risk with expermenting... http://hightechcoonass.smugmug.com/O...18414402_jpgaY a few years ago when I first got it.....

Double Sleeping Bags
Published (2009-11-25 05:31:00)
I have posted on the portal a few times now that there is a company in grand junction colorado that makes sleeping bags, the company is called wiggys. I currently have four of their bags. Two of the bags I own are mummy bags one rated at 20 degrees and the other is a O degree bag. The other two bags are rectangular in shape one is a 20 and the other is a O. My wife and I zip together the rectangle bags and have plenty of room. A few weeks ago...

I'm still using my down Snow Lion bag I bought in 1978 - keeps me toasty down to the low thirties. For colder weather I stick it inside one of the fleece zip up bags you can buy at Walmart for $10 - that will take it comfortably down into the high teens - any colder than that I don't want to be sleeping outside...

Since I never got the seams of my WilderNest fully sealed, I ended up depending on a poly tarp for waterproofness, especially during extended rains. I don't recall for sure what size I used, but I think it was 9x16. It extended beyond the roof by about a foot on all sides. As such it did not interfer with ventillation from either the side windows or the peak vents. So I didn't notice any ...

Glad to hear some positive response.
One item people can easily modify is were the platform hinges, in trailer top applications this would allow you to make one half of the platform your trailer top or lid.
What do you think about the proposed pricing? Would people put in " sweat equity" and be will to purchase at these prices?

0* Alps Mountaineering bags are decent for that price. I've seen them for as little as $70 on Steep and Cheap lately. Or, you can find them sometimes at Backcountry (same company) and Sierra Trading Post.
They are bulky and heavy, though you said that didn't matter.
I've had mine for over 2 years now and I've been happy with it.

If you're considering one of those, then also consider the Quecha 2 Second tents. You'd need a warm sleeping bag in winter, just like with the your linked tent, but they pack very small, are incredibly light and erect in the two seconds claimed - the longest part of setting them up is pegging the corners and guy lines if your expecting windy conditions. Putting them away takes about 30 seconds....

Wash it in a front loader with a mild detergent. Then rinse it twice. When you dry it stop every few mins and fluff the bag so the loft doesn't ball up.

I have a HUGE Coleman two person bag that we found at Sport Chalet, rated to 20 degrees. It is synthetic with flannel lining and "canvas" type outer. The biggest drawback to this kind of bag is the enormous space it takes even when rolled up properly. It is the size of a large seabag when packed up!
Similar to two of these zipped together

We just took both of our dogs (choc. lab, and giant schnauzer= 180 pounds of fur) camping last weekend for the first time with the RTT. Wife and I slept in the tent, and the pups slept in the back of the Jeep in their beds. It worked ...
