Usually I bring the tent, screenhouse, dishes and cookware are all in a large tote, fire supplies are all in a medium tote, lots of blankets, queen size airbed, two coolers, fishing gear (lots of fishing gear!), tarps and rain supplies, folding chairs, large tote filled with meal food, misc tools, horseshoes, small tote filled with card games, approximately 1/3 chord of firewood, charcoal, couple large paper grocery bags filled with applewood for grilling and kindling, two large duffel bags of clothes (one for me, one for the lady), boots, shoes, flip flips, metal baseball bat, axe, large (10gallon) water jug, pillows, and probably tons more stuff I'm forgetting to list. It doesn't all fit in the back of the truck, last year I had to skimp on the firewood and have small fires, and leave some other stuff behind. I like my fires big, that's why I'm bringin the trailer this year.

I could just not bring firewood, and buy it locally when I get to the destination. But I don't see a point in paying for something that I have plenty of in my back yard. One time me and a buddy figured we could fish and eat the fish, so we didn't have to bring food. After about four hours and catching a little bullhead we drove to mcdonalds.

get a camper shell for u to sleep and put your important stuff(instead of the ext cab) and get yourself a trailer with lockable compartments. that would be pretty cool to fab btw

 

[koda6966]

I considered an enclosed trailer, but it ended up being too bulky for me.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

what about half enclosed and halp open? or like i said an opne trailer with some lockable boxes on the sides. like utility box style

 

[koda6966]

Sides are already occupied. The trailer I'm borrowing has two homemade Kayak mounts on each side. Guy who owns it drives a convertible so he can't put kayaks on top.

It's not my trailer so I wouldn't be able to mod it anyway.

make your own trailer

you could build a platform in the bed and store alot of your stuff under there then have a mattress on the platform, your fishing gear you could make rod holders into the top of a camper shell fairly easily, and as for important stuff, if you cant fit it in a regular cab your taking to much for real camping just some ideas

Girlfriend tags along, so I have to bring the comfort stuff. If it's just me I'm roughing it. I usually sleep in the truck and just bring fishing stuff, some food, and a bit of wood.
