Second one looks cool but I have to say I like my drop down table and my more rough and ready setup of single burner and box of utensils pots etc plus a camp oven and the firepit/grill... in fairness I'd probably think differently though if there was more than just me!

You got any pics Rob, of camp oven and firepit/grill thingy? Cheers!

Of course the easiest option is a big tarp over the top of the truck covering a small portion of ground too just in case it rains and you will be good.

I can't wait to see what you can do with a patrol bud

Keep it simple and functional and add to it as you go along

Yeh I reckon I will, just need to nail the essentials.....like a coffee maker

Get a cheap stainless steel wood gas stove on eBay from China for less than £12 and a ghillie kettle which is somewhat more expensive but we'll worth it. Both use a fraction of the fuel a camp fire would and which can be carried inside each.

I made a wood gas burner once, I might still have it, I'll look into the kettle, cheers

Firepit is just out of an old washing machine drum with legs bolted to it and a couple slots in the rim with the dremel so that a grill sits in the top. Whack some coals in with a little wood for bbq mode with the grill then take off the grill and pile in more wood for a roaring firepit

Behave

We just didn't need the flames going 3ft above the rim like we did everytime you were stoking it

That pic is from the end of the night at a housewarming after we'd used all the wood.

As for tent etc, I've used a few double skinned pop-up tents in the past and they were fine.

As Banshee knows though, after watching too many 4wd Action vids I've recently been trying out a wee one man Aussie style swag...

Got my Aussie mate to bring me over one of these though for the next trip

I've had it up in my living room and it's a biggie

Also picked up a Decathalon tarp as well.

That's bang on that Rob, cheers matey

That is one big slipper

1m high and queen sized mattress, it is big.
Interesting you said double skin pop up tents, I've only seen the cheapo single skinned ones that condensate really bad, I hate those things! I always wonder how the single skin canvas stuff is for condensation. It's something I have an issue with, me being a fat git
