I love this, thank for making it. I am going to try to explore the big bend ranch this winter. I like the second campsite you were at, I think you called it Rinkon 2 but I thought I heard you say that it was a walk in sight. Was it ok to drive the truck right up to the table? I may try to go to that one.

According to the website they are both walk in but 002 is definitely a walk-in where as 001 you can pull your car right up to the bench if you like. Yes, the site says 75 foot walk-in but there is nothing there to prevent you from pulling in. As you can see in the video, my truck is parked right past the picnic bench. A great isolated spot.

I grew up in El Paso. Back in the '60s and '70s, we had some property about 5 miles east of Cloudcroft, where we would go to beat the heat. I lived there and in Cloudcroft for about three years. I love that area. The afternoon rains would drop the temperature from 15 to 20 degrees. I now live in the northern NM mountains near Santa Fe. It is beautiful here in the mountains of New Mexico.

Don, thanks for watching the video. I am about to head that way in about 3 days and spend some time camping in the Carson Natl. Forest in and around Taos. Been looking forward to it for a while. Do you happen to have and insights for a first timer in that area. Perhaps so good places to go, maybe next to a stream? I know they are few and far between up there, at least that is what I have heard.

Did you get the new osmo pocket 3? Footage looks great. I almost made it out to Guale 2 in February but had to reschedule. Looks like it’s definitely worth it! I heard it can get pretty windy. That’s pretty normal for solar honestly . I have a 200 watt and get around 100ish.
@landandseaadventures3 ай бұрын
Yes, the Pocket 3 is great but just a little fragile for outdoor run and gun but so far so good. I am pretty happy with the solar, I have got as much as 360 watts out of the 2 panels. But now I have put in a 30V converter and I can charge with that while the engine is running at about 400watts and that great for the Ecoflow Delta 2.

When I was there in the fall of 2019, I was told in no uncertain terms “No grey or black water dumping is permitted in the park interior” even to put out your campfire. My cabover has just 10 gallons each. We you allowed to dispose of your gray water on the ground at the state park.
@landandseaadventures3 ай бұрын
I spoke with the park ranger for about an hour. He asked me a lot of questions about my truck as he was interested in overlanding. I talked about all my gear. He even said I could fill up my 30 gallon water bladder right there at the station. He never mentions anything about disposing of grey water. He did mention no cat holes though.

Just had to comment. I have camped at that exact spot by the cow pond you stayed at the first night. There's 100's of nice boondocking spots in those hills. Of course, lot of cattle/dung there also. They're a nice change from hot/flat Texas. I usually take my motorcycle up there and putt around. I'm in Rockport. Your video has me itching to do it again. One things for sure....you guys sure do eat good! Better than me.

Great video for 1 person loading and loading your rtt. Maybe you could look into those quick release mounts to make the wind deflection part unnecessary.
@HoustonBrownPhotography6 ай бұрын
The quick release mounts have to stay on the bottom side of the RTT which prevents me from being able to SLIDE it on so that does not work either. The quick release is really only any good if you have some type of rig that allows you to LOWER the RTT into place.

Nice "homeEngineering" My solution was get a "Roofnest Meadowlark" Thing weighs 90 pounds! I can get it on the roof myself and I have also just put it in the bed, slid it under my Tonneau cover. So glad i waited and watch the RTT market for years before buying.

There is no doubt lots of solutions out there. Happy that worked out for you. Sounds like a simple setup which is what is necessary in order to make heading out on the road as frictionless as possible.

Would an engine hoist lift it high enough?
@HoustonBrownPhotography6 ай бұрын
I don't know that much about engine hoist, but I doubt you could go high enough considering once you tie the rooftop tent to the hoist, it's going to dangle at least 3 feet, so that means you'd have to go up above the roof, which would be almost 11 feet. Do you know of an engine lift that goes that high, not to mention that seems a bit overkill unless you already have one, of course

Excellent video and a well thought out solution to mounting and un-mounting RTTs. I just bought a Darche Panorama this morning so this will be useful. Not sure whether to go for wood or steel construction though. I think steel might be easier to make it so I can disassemble it when not in use. Light gauge 2x2 box section should be plenty strong enough and not too heavy. Gotta get an electric winch too, great idea.

I have just finished removing my flat rack and making the cross bars to support the tent which I purchased yesterday, a Darche Panorama 1400. I am painting them now and I will install them and pick up the tent this afternoon. The shop will put it on the bars for me to make it easier but I need to get it on and off to get into my garage. I am off for a few days camping at the end of the week so I will build it when I get back and upload it.

@curtcoltharp3719 thank you for the comment. Now that I have been up there I feel the more northern parts of NM would be better for me. Seems the closer you get to Colorado the better. :) As an RV'er you are looking for a different experience, especially now that I am getting more in to overlanding. I enjoy the exploring as much as I do the camping. I admit, I am really growing tired of the 2 hour setup and tear down when I see others doing it in 20 min. LOL
