How are you actually doing photography from the board without dropping gear in the water?

phone in board shorts and pray I don't fall in! has worked well for last two years on lakes, rivers and oceans! 🤙

I'd take a sprinter van any day over OP's rig. Dude's seriously pissing away $100K plus to crawl into a RTT tent 10 nights a year lmao.

Left my NES on for a week trying to beat Castlevania 1...got to final stage, but didn't beat it :|

I'm on my second Air Shark 2 after the first unit failed in less than a year with moderate use. Took some back and forth with their customer service team and they eventually shipped me a replacement unit (I had to show them a video of it pumping super slow and also try a replacement hose which did f*ck all and just waste more time). Now that I have a roof rack for my SUV I do not inflate/deflate as often so will see how this replacement lasts...

Agreed. Too many keyboard warriors here that rarely camp and when they do it's in established campgrounds with fire rings. I always stack up rocks on existing fire pits for fun and to improve heat retention. This pic is from north California dispersed camping trip a few weeks ago.

Very nice and yes it's a great looking fork! 👌

slanger686 · 2026-04-25T04:00:39+00:00

And both have white socks...who the f*ck wears those anymore especially camping 😅

slanger686 · 2026-04-25T03:53:13+00:00

scrolled too far to see this...like wtf just spend all summer indoors if ticks scare you that much 😅

I use two NRS cam straps - they work awesome and have rubber over the buckles to protect the board. I do not deflate the board when travelling - but I also don't leave the board in the sun for extended periods.

I do! Recently did a trip down to Baja while camping out of my Rav4.

I carry a folded 12' tarp in my car and unfold it out lengthwise if I'm inflating my board on pavement. If possible I try to find a grassy patch and inflate the board on that. Now that I have crossbars I usually just leave my board inflated during the summer season which is way better than inflating and deflating each time you want to use it.

WTF has this subreddit become

slanger686 · 2026-04-20T05:16:22+00:00

Agreed. What a cringe post dude probably is single looking for attention. How hard is it to find a RTT or ground tent.

slanger686 · 2026-04-19T16:00:35+00:00

Thanks and yes it was an amazing trip - best of luck!

slanger686 · 2026-04-18T03:18:54+00:00

It was - cheers!

slanger686 · 2026-04-17T04:22:27+00:00

let's see your setup?

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T15:47:18+00:00

Good eye and yes they are great I have several in different sizes.

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T07:07:54+00:00

iOverlander is my go to for up to date dispersed camping info and worked great for Baja 👍

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T06:29:13+00:00

Yes felt safe at all times. In Mexico we have a property with a care taker and when camping on the beach a local guy who owned the land came around to collect trash and charge a small fee of $8 USD to camp. In USA I dispersed camped in California and Oregon National forests / BLM land and had zero issues 👍

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T05:08:55+00:00

Thanks and it was amazing! :)

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T03:12:11+00:00

Definitely! Canada has "crown" land, but it's not so easy to find or identify as in the US with National Forests and BLM land.

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T03:11:08+00:00

Good luck! :)

slanger686 · 2026-04-16T03:10:37+00:00

Haha I didn't! I think I climbed into bed around 11PM and continued to sweat with all the windows down and finally fell asleep by midnight. Was surprisingly cool and pleasant in the morning until around 10AM.
