Most trucks can accommodate some sort of official or unofficial tent. Granted, the Aztec was, I believe, designed with that in mind. I feel like the cybertruck tent failure was likely a combination of poor design and the lack of critical thinking that a person who purchased a cybertruck has. Regardless, I prefer my canvas tent on the ground. There is plenty of space, no climbing, and I can have a stove (heat only) for winter excursions.

And the biggest advantage is that you don't have to take it down to go on day trips while you're camping. I think the rooftop and vehicle tents only make sense if you're going to be sleeping somewhere different every night.

Even then, they're harder to get in and out of never mind hauling your things up and down. I really don't get why they're poplar at all.

If I was over landing, I wouldn't be hauling things up into that tent. Just leave the bedding up there, maybe take the pillows down. It's a very specific use case that I don't think most of them are actually used for.

So.... what people do when backpacking?

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have to be more specific. What part of the comment are you talking about?

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The part that people pqcking up everyday to move to a another location to camp?

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That's not the type of camping you do at a camp ground like this. This is for "car campers".

I think they were talking about how you might park in a parking lot, put on your backpacks, hike to a nice spot for camping, set up camp, and then spend a few days there, making side excursions to scenic points or to hunt/fish if that's your thing, leaving the tents in place. Maybe one stays and tends the fire each day.

Yes and? Backpackers can pack everything up in the morning and setup at night. The key is to pack only what you need. If you want to leave your tent setup at a camp unattended, just dont leave anything you want stolen.

Yes and a member of a backpack group can go back to the car and make a beer or tampon run without having to pack up the whole tent. Unlike car-tent people. Which was the point.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yep, you got it. A car tent ties up your mode of transportation. When I camp, I go car camping and use my car during the day to get to trails, site see, get fire wood, etc... With a freestanding tent, that's not an issue at all.

Don't even need to piss about with a tent, just get a shell make sure it's water proof voila camper, alternatively you could get some aluminum pipes and canvas to just build a canvas cover which has the same advantage as a tent or shell. Really a tent seems weirdly restricted and over engineered for no real gain.
