In this one, Fiona and I head out for a solo truck tent camp on the edge of some beautiful remote land. Y’all have seen me set this tent up a bunch lately, so I skipped the whole “setup montage” and got straight to living in it—getting Fiona settled in, getting the bed of the truck comfortable, and just slowing down for a calm evening. We had a few “locals” on the adjoining property, a little fetch that turned into me retrieving the toy (Westy owners understand), and a whole lot of that quiet, end-of-day camping peace. The big experiment was cooking supper inside the truck bed tent for the first time. I used the Stoke Voltaics Joul electric kettle plugged into my Oseriz AE600 power station, and I’ll tell you right now—stirring turkey cheddar brats and baked beans with a puppy in your lap is harder than it sounds. The night was warm but comfortable, and I kept it simple with my UGQ Quillow as a top quilt. The only real drama was a whole band of coyotes off to the side that had Fiona pretty worked up, but we settled back down and still got a solid, if intermittent, night of sleep. Next morning I showed off my new “I’ll never grow up” toy—a cheap Amazon slingshot—did a little target practice (with eye protection), then made an easy breakfast and wrapped it up. Nothing fancy—just a real truck tent night with the good, the rough, and a tired puppy ready to head home.
