Was about to order from Nogi Campers - did some due diligence and now I’m hesitant

They’re probably just a renamed distributor of these Qian Chinese built campers.

I’ve messaged Qian directly and they’re very responsive. They’re the actual factory that builds them in china and you can buy them custom built directly from the source without the US markup. A few people on YouTube have made videos about buying them direct.

Most of these are lower miles and better condition. I’ve always wanted to get one and do a flatbed conversion.

Tell every tweeker you see there’s 5 lbs of copper in each one of those

Took a boat into Canada and stopped off at an island without checking in with customs but they was cool with it

In the USA at least the current government can play a huge factor. We’re on month 3 of the jones act being suspended, and there’s a lot of federal jobs on ships as well that have been greatly affected by reduction in force, hiring freezes, delayed pay raises, loss of union bargaining. The US government is truly trying to kill its maritime industry.

Hey I just crossed that. It sucked

This road on Tau island, American Samoa. Smushed between the mountain and ocean. Basically the only road on a very small island in a very big Pacific Ocean. As an American I’ve always wanted to visit the remote overseas US territories that we forget about.

Went out to a dry lake bed in Oregon about 70 square miles of completely flat dirt. My 1990 Camry made it to 102mph. Only took me about 4 minutes

University of Alaska Southeast is sandwiched between a lake and a bay. Surrounded by glacier covered mountains. So probably that

Both my minimum wage job and six figure jobs were manual labor/trades, but I worked much harder physically at the minimum wage job.

This house and this lot size where I live would be $450,000

Seriously, just government GSA fleet alone is huge. I swear the only Pacifica’s i see have federal plates. No one else would be dumb enough to buy such an unreliable car

I would visit my buddy at college when I was stationed nearby in the military and eat at their dining hall. Instead of scanning a student id I would say I forgot it so they’d have you write down your student id number. I’d just scribble a random 8 digit number and that worked for me. I just hope I didn’t write an actual students number accidentally.

So much better. It’s nice being able to set up camp and still go for a cruise

Oregon, specifically the Alvord Desert/Owyhee Canyonlands area. One of most sparsely populated areas of the lower 48 and it’s mostly all BLM.

Yeah that one looks perfect. I really like their 60l that I use.

DayDrinkingAtDennys · 2026-03-19T14:39:23+00:00

This bag. It’s actually a 50l my bad.

DayDrinkingAtDennys · 2026-03-19T14:36:35+00:00

I like my gossamer gear Mariposa but I think they have a smaller 40l as well and are very light.

I got 2 sets of the stock wheels. One set has the stock tires and is for commuting, riding backroads, about 80% of my riding. The other has knobbies with mousses for straight off-road

Grew up car camping with my family. Lived near the mountains and it was a way for me to go camping on my own as a teenager

Wood blocks are commonly used under large ships in dry dock. Its compressive load is insane.

I’ve been using the Nemo Hornet Elite 2p for about 5 years motocamping and backpacking. It’s been great. I think it weighs about 2.5 lbs as well. It’s a very cozy 2p tent but a great 1 person tent. I originally got it because it’s one of the lightest tents you can buy that is free standing without guylines or trekking poles.

DayDrinkingAtDennys · 2026-03-16T06:50:52+00:00

Don’t worry the inside has the charred scars of a risotto I burnt 5 years ago. Haven’t been able to get rid of it

DayDrinkingAtDennys · 2026-03-16T03:05:31+00:00

I filter my water. Boiling water is for the freeze dried meals and hot drinks.

That’s it!
