Rain cover for exo

I’ve been using an Osprey pack cover that I got free with one of my older summer backpacking bags. It’s worked great and kept all my stuff dry during some nasty weather. It’s been very durable, but I also try to be very careful with it.

Breakfast when truck camping??

I didn’t read this whole thread, so may have been mentioned already. We do ziplock omelettes. You can use egg beaters or a few actual eggs, put em in a freezer gallon ziplock, add whatever cooked meats and veggies, add some cheese. Mix it all up. Then you drop the ziplock into a large pot of...

What sleep pad do you all use?

I just picked up the Big Agnes Q Core SLX insulated in a wide/long. I’ve heard great things about it for side sleepers, so decided to give it a shot.
