Ground tent and awning. Just the basics. Nothing fancy here.

Our camping set up depends on what we are doing and where we are going. We carry a tent in our camper. There are times that we set up the camper as a base camp and then go deeper into the desert, mountains or forest and then tent camp before returning to the the camper.

We even have different tents depending on what part of North America we are going to. Our typical tent set ups look like this.

This tent connects to the the Jeep. We unload the back of the Jeep into the four corners of the tent so that we don't have to stake the tent down and then use a Deep Sleep mattress in the back of the Jeep.

The nice thing about this tent is it is easy to unhook from the jeep and go wheeling.

Then in the mountains of Alaska, we you a tent that hooks to a pop up awning. It is a rain thing....

You can hook up a couple tents to the awning and use the awning to save you from the rain as you enter or exit your tent.

How we make coffee. It is part of the set up.

Can't get these type of views at camp from a motorhome or with a camper in general.

This is our main way we camp. We tow a camper all over North America.

Like I said, it depends on what we are doing. We like to camp along water. So sometimes, kayaks come with us.

There was a water crossing to get here.

We even winter camp.

Our first small camper It was -2 degree that night.

Between the two campers. I have towed a campers 77,000 miles. We will be off to Colorado for the month of August.

Hey Ted, which model of E-Pro are you currently pulling? Starting to look at these... Thanks!

Season dependent, Location dependent, Weather dependent, Base camp/Not wheeling vs constantly changing nightly dependent.

I tow the E-Pro 15TB. It is made by Flagstaff. Flagstaff markets the 15TB under a couple different names. Like Rockwood 15TB and Geopro 15TB.

I have Three other friends that I travel with that have also bought the 15TB. All of them pull it with a JLUR. So four of us in total.

Bill has towed his Geopro 15TB from Michigan to Cabo San Lucas at the bottom of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.

He has also towed it to Vancouver In Canada from Michigan.

Don has a Geopro 15TB too. He has only been to local to Michigan, but is going to Colorado in August with us for three weeks to a month.

Kevin has the Geopro 15TB too. So far he has only towed it in Michigan. He is also going to Colorado with us in August.

All of us have had good luck with the campers. Don and his wife and Kevin and his wife are going to go to Alaska with Carla and me in 2027.

This is what it looks like getting into your friends wallet. All thee of these guys bought a Jeep and a camper so they could travel with Carla and me. I have already told them Alaska will be about $20,000 or so and they are all in. We will spend about 4 months in Alaska. We have to wait for Don to retire and Kevin's wife to retire.

I am excited to get them to Colorado. There are three couple that I am taking wheeling with us in Colorado for the first time. They have no idea what they are in for. One couple has wheeled Windrock a few times.

Here is my setup when I don't have the Jeep. As long as I am close to water the backpack sitting outside the tent door has 5 days worth of food.

And the sounds. One night while tenting, in Montana probably, I head elk or bison or sheep or something crashing their heads together in the distance. It sounded like big wooden boxes being smashed together again and again. The folks in the campers with A/C running never heard a thing.

If I bring a refrigerator I’ll either set up my hammock tent or standard tent. If I don’t bring it then I sleep inside my Jeep on a custom trifold bed I made.

I love the Milwaukee Pack out stuff and all the things you can do with it.
I have a small extra Ratchet set that is usually bouncing around in the back or stuffed between Packout boxes. Not anymore. Small piece of plywood, some RivNuts and some Packout cleats and shoes.
