My gear reviews can also be found in the camping sections on four forums I frequent:<br />
YotaTech, IH8MUD, FJCruiserforums, and Expedition Portal.<br />
<br />
Please click the links in the navbar above for the gear reviews.<br />
Also note that the URLs to where I bought the products may end up being a dead link as the vendors sometimes make changes to their websites.<br />
You can always Google the product to find it too if the link goes dead.<br />
I already had to update a few in my blog here that have changed since I made my gear reviews on the various forums.<br />
<br />
I have camped most of my life but took about a decade off from it prior to 2008.<br />
Starting in the spring of 2008 I went bonkers getting out my old gear and scouring the Internet for new gear, as once again the camping bug took hold of me.<br />
<br />
The biggest change for me was going to a roof top tent which you will see in the pages of my gear reviews.<br />
The tent alone makes it so much easier now to get out and not have to worry about finding a non rocky place to setup a ground tent.<br />
<br />
Long ago I use to be a minimalist when it came to camping and backpacking, but I have found as I have gotten older that I enjoy having a few creature comforts when getting out such as a hot shower, a nice kitchen setup (I have a new setup now as in <a href="http://www.yotatech.com/f172/chuckbox-219501/">a chuckbox</a>, but have not got any pictures of it in the field yet), and the comfort of a first class roof top tent.<br />
<br />
Below are a few pictures from a trip to Mt. Rainier National Park, the White River campground from August of 2010.<br />
