Man I would love to go on trips like that once I get my gmc finished! Mosesburb also has some cool camping pictures in his build thread.

does anyone have one of those airmattresses made by truck bedz that has cutouts to fit around the wheel wells? I've got a 91 burban and was wondering how well they actually fit, and if they are worth it or not. Or will a standard queen size fit back there?

any more camping pics anyone?

I don't have a 4x4, but I like this thread. This was the first camping trip with the truck, just an overnight in Tofino, BC (West coast of Vancouver Island).

this happened just hours before we got there. ranger said it was like a tornado dropped on the lake. we passed a dodge with a crushed cab & an escort with the back half wiped off going out on a flatbed, another guy had his spine crushed when he got hit by a tree. around 1500 tree's this size came down.this is where we were camped

Here are some with the truck when it was 2wd and some later. In the campfire one the backend is in the background. That was on our annual weekend before Memorial Day "lip walk". We used to take fishing pole and try and fish but poles got broken and people hooked so we just said heck with it and hike, play wilderness frisbee golf, drink, and sit around the fire and tell lies. It started when we decided something like our hunting campfire experiences needed to happed more than once a year. Every year we go to a different location and drive until we hit the snow line and back off a a few hundred feet in elevation. No mosquitos, or other campers so a good time is had by all.

thats a real nice set-up you got chevymaniac. i cant belive you live in kitimat & only post 2 pics. we drove the cassiar to watson lk a few years ago with a non dig. camera & blew 18 or 20 rolls! saving our change for a trip up to boya lk this summer.

Re: post up your camping pics
 
Thanks Dieseldawg142. Yes the country side is beautiful, especially when it stops raining or snowing and the sun pokes through. Lots of good fishing if you are into that sport. Those lakes you refered to i'am not fimilair with. Not from around these parts, but my wife is. Been here now for 4 years. Still lots to see and explore. Hoping to get out camping more and exploring some trails.

with that truck it won't be hard! that a stick or auto? yeah, you guys sure get your quota of rain & then some, remember an old guy at dease lk telling me they have 9 months of winter & 3 mos of sh.tty sleddin'.

dieseldawg142 01-26-2013 01:21 AM

Re: post up your camping pics
 
also like the color of your truck, almost the same as mine, woodland green,or as everyone else calls it- park ranger green

The truck has a TH400 with shift kit. Dease lake is about another 6 hour drive from kitimat. This year so far winter has been mild. Snow has been disappearing fast and we have our fair share of rain too which is helping with snow removal.
