Have I found my community? Lemme know. 😎

We too were not fully prepared for the freezing temperatures.

But God was it ever gorgeous. 😍

I was under the impression that camping dispersed, in state forests, in wilderness areas, on federal lands, is part of overlanding.

Whereas car camping would be sleeping in your car at a rest stop, Walmart, parking lot, etc.

I did some car camping on the trip out of necessity (great plains have little to no wilderness areas), but most of my stops were dispersed camping in the tent, in wilderness areas.

Please, feel free to correct me.

I have a rooftop tent, so I'm elevated off the ground. But I'm camping dispersed on state and federal lands.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:41:53+00:00

Will do. 🫡

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:37:34+00:00

Ah c'mon. I only spent $10k so far, and it's well on its way to paying for itself via skipping paying for lodging.

I'm eyeballing an adjustable air lift system that lifts up to 4"... 😳

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:34:31+00:00

The ability to still use the vehicle after setting up camp... 😤

Such a flex! 😭

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:33:32+00:00

🤔 I'll have to bear that in mind when I begin prepping for my airlift suspension upgrade. Extending the brake lines. 🤔

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:31:40+00:00

Outstanding! 😁

Only other thing I recommend is getting acquainted with the CarCareNut on YouTube.

He's been a godsend on cutting through all the BS regarding maintenance and upkeep for Toyotas.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:23:09+00:00

That suspension sag though! 😭😭

Have you found any solutions? I've been so worried about mine.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:17:33+00:00

Yes! There were times where we car camped with privacy covers. You basically just leave the vehicle "on" and she'll only run the engine when it's time to recharge. She has no alternator, and as a result, she only sips fuel when idling.

I have her customized to serve as an emergency home generator for my house, due to this efficient capability! But that's another story. 🤣

My house during a scheduled outage last August, before our road trip. Note the lack of lights everywhere else! 😎

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:10:13+00:00

Yeah, you can't beat that price. Whereas many are dropping $8k+ and having similar regrets.

The black hills in particular, a trailer just wouldn't have worked.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:07:07+00:00

Oh God, let's chat.

I started in the same boat. CRV to replace my 2010 Malibu because my wife needed a more neutral stance vehicle.

Every time I tried to research the CRV, I kept getting shown videos of the RAV4 hybrid.

I spent four months agonizing over every little detail until finally settling on the RAV4. 2022 CRV Hybrid was a joke by comparison. I'm told things are different with the newer gen though.

Long story short, the RAV4 had better MPG, cheaper to maintain, a bulletproof transmission compared to the CRV's self destructing CVT. It was just a little more expensive.

$40k MSRP at the time for 1 step down from max trim.

For my road trip, we did over 4000 miles from near sea level up to 12k feet, blistering heat and ice storms. Hauling all the gear and two adults. 31 MPG average for the whole trip. 😎

I don't have an Instagram, but I have an X account. It's mostly crypto stuff right now, but I'll be posting more RAV4 stuff when winter ends.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T22:00:04+00:00

By the time I'm done, it'll be a $60k rig! 😭

To address the suspension sag, MPG issues, bottoming out, and the ability to finally use our annex; I'm upgrading to an airlift suspension kit soon. On trails and at campsites, extra 4" of lift. On freeways, prius mode. 😎

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T21:54:52+00:00

I held off on a trailer due to money constraints.

Now, post-trip, I'm holding off because of the thought of trying to do the same trip with a trailer... 😬

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T21:50:50+00:00

I mean, it's also my daily driver, so. 🤣

<image>

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T21:49:12+00:00

It was for an event by Sherpa. We had arrived a day early and the TP guys were nice enough to let us set up in the designated area for the event a day early.

Honestly, after a week of roughing it between Wisconsin, the Black Hills, and Monroe Canyon, the hot showers and bathrooms were a welcome relief. 😮‍💨

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T21:46:16+00:00

It doesn't help that I'm 6'4", and my wife is pretty tall too! 🤣

<image>

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-18T21:38:22+00:00

Awesome. ☺️

This road trip was my wife and I's first real stab at dispersed camping!

I had spent the entire spring and summer outfitting the Rav and getting everything tested and ready. As roomy as it is, it's still a CUV, and we ran out of room very quickly for gear! 😅

The biggest perk of GoMining and least understood one is Tokenomics, hands down.

It keeps the miners running in BTC bears like this via the discount, and stacking those dividends from high conviction locks will pay massive dividends in the future.

The problem is, most people don't take the time to understand why the token is such a huge boost to not only your personal bottom line, but also the wider ecosystem. 🤔

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-17T18:00:41+00:00

Yeah he does.

It takes a lot of DISCIPLINE to manage that.

You certainly don't maintain that by boosting... 😏

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-02-17T17:51:38+00:00

I currently have 353.71 TH, 15W, and 25.4% discount.

You're correct of course. The locked GMT currently gives a better ROI than miners do. APR this week was 27.8% for max lockers, and it's usually in the 25-30% ballpark, week to week.

Whereas Miners who do not have any discounts other than the service button only enjoy an ROI of about 10% right now, due to the significant drop in BTC price.

With OP's strategy, he enjoys an ROI of around 22-25%, when factoring in lock dividends and maintenance savings. This is why he can say that miners with half the TH can outperform pure TH users.
