  1. Nice little squared-off hatchback. Makes a nice porch off the back. No leaks along the seam at the top. Very nice feature. Your bed seemed a bit cramped, but it looks like you had the option of a bigger/longer bed. Maybe it was just a trick of perspective. Title said "Disastrous," so when you hung up your keys and walked off, I thought the monkeys were going to make off with them, and maybe other items. Then I thought maybe the embankment, undermined by flood water, was going to collapse or something. In the American West, distances are so great, mountain passes so high, and winds on the plains so strong, that I always end up with a little bigger and more powerful pickup truck. Part of it is also due to u.s. government interference reducing the available options to a hand full of favored companies, with all other competition eliminated by regulations that don't permit new companies to spring up. I spread out a lot more than you when I make camp, although when I was your age, I did something closer to what you do than I do now, only my way wasn't as refined. Your quilted window covers are very nice. I've been known to just stick a towel across a window and roll it up. Make that pass for a curtain. Then unfold a sun visor for the front windshield. Crude but effective. Bigger, messier kitchen than your efficiency setup, but always plenty to eat and share. I'd cook outside, maybe with a Coleman stove on the tailgate. Button it all up and crawl onto a pallet in the bed of the pickup, or make shift in the passenger compartment. But I'd be out in the weather for all my cooking. Never thought much about it because I always had good rain/cold gear. More than one night, I'd stretch a tarp overhead. Nothing as elegant as your setup. Now I drag a mini-camper behind my pickup, which allows me to build a little tent city, complete with wood heat! I like to invite friends and to have all the arrangements for guests, in case they're unprepared, which happens quite a bit.

  2. I've lived all over the West and Northwest, camped all over them and the southwest of the u.s. Dangerous is the city. But there are thousands of places in the usa where you can do exactly what he's doing, only not with that particular vehicle.
