Hangout shelter for “truck” camping

[MHWASH]

We take a wall tent frame and wrap it with visqueen. Put in a metal screen door on one end and a 4x8 plywood wall and run the woodstove pipe through that works great.

Slumberjack makes some cheap options. I have a roadhouse tarp, it's been durable and nice for the price.

I have one and it decent for the price!

Several years ago I screwed together a frame of 2x4s here in my yard, about 8x12' and maybe 6.5' high in the back and 7' high in the front, wrapped the entire thing in a giant tarp, tied down where I could from grommet to grommet, then unwrapped it, disassembled the frame, threw it on a trailer, and reassembled it in Colorado. By the time it was all said and done I had $150 in it and it weighed well over 100 pounds between the tarp and 2x4s and screws and whatnot.

The tent you linked for $279 is a better bargain all day long than my homemade tarp-tent. And mine had no provision for a stovepipe. Well done (assuming it holds up).

EZ up, tarps for sides if you want. buddy heater. table and chair.

Necro thread, but an EZ-up with only one to two sides blocking the wind and a propane firepit works great.
