This Makes a Great Cup of Coffee
I wanted to share another cool piece of gear I use when car or truck camping. This is the GSI 6 Cup Percolator. The reason I chose to get such a small one was to keep the footprint of the things I pack up small and easy to manage. This percolator works very well and I have used it for a while now. I highly recommend it. If you are interested in it, you can find it at my Amazon Affiliate Link Here: <a href="https://amzn.to/3aEdejZ">https://amzn.to/3aEdejZ</a> They also make a larger one if you are interested in that I believe it is 9 cups
Best Budget Friendly Camp Shower Setups
In this video, I talk about some other options for staying clean on the road while truck camping. The two examples I give are with the Nemo Helio LX and a good old-fashioned DIY bug sprayer. Both are great options for taking a shower and based on your budget, you might find them more convenient as well. You can pick up the Nemo Helio LX on Amazon at this affiliate link: <a href="https://amzn.to/2wEX8z7">https://amzn.to/2wEX8z7</a> and you can pick up a bug sprayer for the DIY model at any home improvement store. Make sure to also pick up black spray paint. Whichever you decide, you are sure to have a great time and not have to smell like you are having a great time lol
Best Budget Multi-Fuel Stove for Car Camping
This small footprint stove is one of the best budget-friendly options out there if you do a lot of car camping. It uses both butane and propane fuels and includes a piezo lighter so you don't even have to worry about having a fire source to light it. I have used this stove now for a few years and keep coming back to it because of its ease of use. You can find this stove at my Amazon affiliate link below.

Best Tarp for Car Camping
So this past weekend, my buddy Brian and I decided to do some truck camping. We knew some rain was coming and so this was an excellent opportunity to try out my new Hasika Car Awning. I have to say this thing performed great. It kept us dry even during a hefty downpour. This also provided a larger area as it is 18x18x13 and comes with four poles in the package. I did use one of my own center pole to create a downward angle for the rain to run off but other than that everything came with the tarp. This also packs down to a very small footprint for the back of the truck. I totally recommend this tarp awning. You can find it here: <a href="https://amzn.to/39qUB2x">https://amzn.to/39qUB2x</a>
