Whether it’s a tent for the back of your truck bed, a tent on the top of your SUV/Car/Whatever? Ive always been a pretty basic tent on the ground kind of guy, but it looks like fun, and hey, who know, one day we might all be living in a truck tent by the river.

That's what Gabby Petito said too.

I spent a couple of summers camping out of a pickup with a camper shell in Nevada. I was working 10 days on and 4 days off so I didn't want to rent. There is plenty of BLM land and it's cool at night out there mostly.

After a 2 week camping trip from Louisiana to Wyoming one summer when I was in HS. I decided I would never go camping as a vacation again.

They call it overlanding, and you can’t do it properly without spending $20k on fancy roof racks, cantilevered tent platforms, LED lights and a winch.

I'll stick with my tent on the ground unless its camper van or something. I don't want to take down my car tent to use the car for the day.

When I go, I stay for a weekend and don't take it down until I leave. Kind of relaxing , hiking, fishing, cooking. Drink some bourbon.

I’ll call it camping but most folks would disagree. I will not drive after I’ve been drinking so prior to Uber I’d just sleep in my car. I’ve “camped” all over the south from Houston to destin.

I carry a tent and sleeping bag in my trunk. Anywhere could be my home.
