I was ready for a change from car camping out of a Prius in the mountains above Ruidoso so I set a tent out. The next morning I woke up to a Jaguar growling outside the tent wall. I usually car camp unless I can get a chance to explore an area first.
I've been ground camping for 60 years. I love it, but if you're limited on space, the rooftop tent wins in footprint spacing problems, or camping in rattlesnake areas.
According to some people, animals like a rattle snake can make it up to your tent before you can get to the zipper therefore disputing this benefit, but with that in mind some people still believe the earth is a pancake 😂
We use a 10x10 Kodiak Canvas tent for our camping and it's fantastic. Super easy to setup (though a little heavy), holds up great to all kinds of weather, tall enough to to stand in, queen size air mattress with tons of room to spare.
I ditched the RTT for a wall tent.. It was a real pain anytime I wanted to explore I had to pack up camp. I see Overlanding as a great way to establish a base camp for other excursions. Its also a good way to secure some valuable equipment from camp thieves. Which are unfortunately more common than people think. Especially along major trail system like the Appalachian trail.
I love tent camping and hammock camping. Back to the basics, brings back so many great memories camping with my family as a small child. Im saving for an rtt just for the ease of solo camping.
If possible, it's always nice to use your car as a windshield for the tent, it's seriously effective to help you with the wind at night, love the set up Max, life is all about those family adventures 🥰✊🏾 props to that camera woman!
Great video max 💪 Like u said and I agree tent camping is cool for normal parks that you pay for a parking spot and have to hike everywhere but rtt is cool for dispersed camping either way whatever can get someone out to nature and doesn’t hurt there pocket is still awesome!!!
I have a CVT Mt.Hood rooftop tent and want to get a separate canvas tent! Then use both or choose between one or the other. You inspire me to edit and post all of my travel/overland footage that's been sitting on SD cards 💪 Got a couple videos on my channel already..🙏✌️🤟
What! I thought I was subbed! You got the tundra boo!! I got the raptor about the same time as you. Catching up on some of your builds on my own finally. Keep up the vids.
We have a 12 person tent for my 5 person family of the same style. We do 2 queen air mattresses(one on each side) and have a huge space in the middle to change and store our stuff. The only issue we have is packing in the Tacoma, I’m looking at getting a softopper to give more space to pack, or was before someone ran a red light and I decided to use the opportunity to upgrade parts of my truck. But in the future. Ground camping is the way for families in my opinions
The two biggest things RTT’s have over ground tents are A) if you’re in predator country it just gives you a bit more peace of mind having the higher ground (and fucking weirdos too) and B) it stays SO much cleaner in the tent. Like, insanely cleaner. But for a family unless you have an overland trailer and you’re set up with two tents I see how this is much more convenient and comfortable, so it really just depends on your trip and your situation.
You sound like the type of person who thinks snakes, bears, wolves, scorpions, and any other animal can’t climb a ladder faster than you could unzip the door
@@alexs825 no shit Sherlock, but it’s better than being directly under them. Wth do you think ‘a bit more’ means? Foolproof and 100% effective? You sounds like the kind of person that doesn’t know what they’re talking about
@@gablamo013 interesting perspective. You like to eat food in your tent right before bed I suppose too. I guess if you fear anything then paying an extra grand isn’t a problem and now your vehicles capability takes a hit as well with all that weight up high. Big price to pay for a negligible impact
@@alexs825 don’t come onto a TH-cam comment section acting like you know what’s what mf 😂 I truly don’t care what you think, my Tacoma made it through the Rubicon with a RTT and not a single ounce of capability was hindered and I don’t remember tipping my truck on its side. Sleep in whatever tf you wanna sleep in, the fact of the matter is having higher ground is always a benefit.
Love the videos me and my family are heading out to Yosemite and the red woods then up the crater lake then to mount Saint Helen then to glacier national park then back home to Iowa staying in canvas tents. In glacier you should check it out some time
Ich habe das Dachzelt autocamp family 190. Das einzige was bei Ihnen besser ist, ist der Preis. Das Dachzelt ist in Handarbeit in Deutschland gemacht und jeden Cent wert.
What's old is suddenly "new" again. Smh. I've never understood the whole rooftop thing, but then again- I've never understood the whole permanent bed installation either in most vans. They eat up alot of real estate- and personally, I'm only sleeping 8- and not lounging otherwise. Lastly- I've been using air mattresses for years as my permanent mattress go-to solution- including on the homefront. The trick is to buy a tall one. And when camping- this fix beats the crap out of your typical Thermarest products. (THIN)
Why would i cut my hair? So i can fit in with the nine to fivers? Lol fuck that. I make almost 20k a month having fun and doing what i love from anywhere in the world, i travel often, I live in a mansion on 30 acres, I litterally do whatever I want, I buy whatever I want, my wife is a 10 out of 10, we have an outstanding friendship, insane sex life and she loves my hair. She's the only one I care to impress. So again, why do I need to cut my hair? Maybe you should quit trying to blend in with everyone else and just be yourself, youd be surprised what you can accomplish when you're free from all your own bullshit.
Nothing wrong with normal camping, people get too caught up in the gear and gizmos and trying to get the best pic for the gram. Plus you can set up your stuff and go explore without packing all up.
@@Maxx.Powell I agree to a point. Since I live in Las Vegas, the Area BFE rooftop does an important service. Being off the ground eliminates scorpions, rattlesnakes, and other nasty critters from being in your tent, shoes, sleeping gear, etc. When I lived in the northern US, this certainly wasn’t an issue. I don’t run a fridge or a lot of the other gismos, since I can go old school with a cooler and still offroad pretty hard in Moab, Death Valley, Great Basin, etc. I appreciate the simplicity for sure. I had to get Alcan 1100 lb springs to support my armor, tent, and extended range fuel tank. Running the +2 total chaos long travel with sway bar for the longer trips getting to the trails. I hope you keep making videos.
I have decades of camping experience, from serving in the Marines to RTT’s. For me, it RTT all day long for the win! Always level and flat (no holes, rocks or slopes). …and critter free. Ground tents win if you have large families and/or large dogs. You ground tent folks can have it! I’ll be up in my RTT. Cheers!
Have 50+ years of camping and overloading (before it was known as overloading). Have gone full circle with RTT"s. Came to my conclusion with an RTT is that after I spend around $4,000 (tent and rack for my JKU) i'm still sleeping in a tent so I am staying with a ground tent. Just upgraded to a Gazelle T4 for around $450. Was on a Death Valley trip a few months ago, several other group members had RTT, and with the 40+ mph winds they had a terrible time sleeping in their RTT's., I moved my JKU to blocks the wind from my tent and had a peaceful night. My opinion, each to your own and do what makes you happy ad comfortable. Big fan of Joshua Tree as well. Just get out and have fun!
We also have the Gazelle T4, if you’re in rainy, windy weather it holds up better than any full size tent we’ve owned. It’s also easy for one person to put up. Glad your family is experiencing all the adventures!
Im sorry to hear that you’re discouraged to make video, i cant say i wouldnt feel the same if people were reporting me for shit like that. Just know theres still a lot of us that support you and enjoy watching your videos
Get on that prehab train my man! I'm 47 and still lifting, sending double blacks on boards and bikes, rock climbing, hiking, etc. Yoga and prehab work like the Knees Over Toes guy channel will help out in a big way! Ground tents are awesome, I carry a big one for the family and little one if I'm solo camping. Just set it up in the truck bed with a 1 man cot.
Dude I love love love my tent cot but I always felt a good solution was a trailer with a roof top tent would be the best. Have a base camp and still be able to use my 4x4
Love our RTT! Did Billie bars on the bed of the Taco and the tent sits behind the cab…no wind drag. Leave it on the bars and remove those to store it at home. Me and my wife can lift it easily. This looks like a rad campground! Thanks for sharing and love the family trips!
It's even easier to use a popup with one of the tents that snap under the popup. 10'X10' with full 7' standing room is pretty nice - it's like taking an apartment with you. And you can get them for $100 up, with $90 for a 10x10 straight let, that's a lot of tent for little price.
We had a similar quick pitch ground tent and now have a £2000 howling moon RTT, We went on some of the best camping trips in our ground tent, that gave us the overland bug! It just goes to show it doesn’t matter what you have the main thing is getting out there! If you think about the weight save and aerodynamics the ground tent makes a lot of sense!
It doesn't matter, tent on the car or on the ground. Explore, enjoy life, make memories. If you have the money, go for it. It is your money!!!! If you want to save, great!!! Nature is big enough for all of us. Great video.
Way too big and stuff to set up even tho ground tents have gotten way better but don’t need that giant tent for me and my girl. Rooftop tents on my 4runner is all we need and its a great peace of mind being higher up on top of a lifted 4runner from animals and other things on the ground.
Maxx- I am 31, coming up fast on 32… I can TOTALLY relate to your comment about feeling your age. We sure as hell ain’t 20 anymore lol Can’t wait til I’m 50 😭
RTT’s are limiting in that if it rains, you have to open up the tent to air dry the material, and if it continues to rain, you’re probably going to have a soaking RTT that is now growing mold/fungus…. However the chances of your ground tent growing mold is also a big one, but there is one difference, if you can find a dry area, you can open it up; allowing it to dry, however that RTT is going to be sitting there on your truck/van or what have ou….
We have trees back east, so a duffle bag with a hammock and rain fly strapped to the buggy and camping out in the woods is the way to go. Side note, I picked up that same exact tent at the dump the other day... rain fly tarp was missing but otherwise looked brand new. Score.
"I feel like I am 50" Huh....LOL I am 51 and stronger than ever and competing in Strongman Events. Just stay active and you will be good to go. Great video....Looks like an awesome place.
I Kiki your comment, “I’m starting to feel your age…lol, lol, lol. Try being 72 and say that…. I”m in my early 70, and feel that I can do the same things a gal of 50 can do, but the mind says no, while the body says yes… and guess which wins out? The mind, but keep on producing those Videos, I love the ones that you first produced some years ago….
Really nice tent but if you're seriously considering going to a ground tent please consider a Springbar tent. More money but your grand kids will be camping in it long after you quit camping! You will never regret buying a Springbar I have a 10 X 14 Springbar that's 30+ years old and is in great condition!
Very nice set up with the family. Nice job on the video. Aren’t you supposed to be in Green Bay for training camp. Just kidding. The truck is nice too.
Grab a chair, a cheap tent, a cooler, some beer, water, some meat and invite a funny friend and Google some close spots to visit for 1 day maybe 2. That's a start!
Check out tents from Gazelle. They assemble In 90 seconds. The material is 2 times better than ozark trail. I've had one for 5 years and never had an issue.
those pop up 2 minute tents or the truck bed tents from amazon.. is what i usually use. forget spend thousands of dollars for the hyped roof top tents. I ain't trying to lose my foot step while trying to get down the ladder to just go pee late at night. lmfao..
great video! i have a tepui rooftop tent but my truck is lifted, find myself crawling all over to open it and honestly find myself almost eating dirt falling off if its a bit slippery, think of switching it up to ground tenting.
Dude… my 10 person Core tent just showed up today, lol. But I got the one with the built in lights. Looking forward to taking the family camping in it🤟🏻 that place looked awesome
I have the 6 person version of that tent. Super fast and easy. I don’t camp enough to justify the cost of a RTT, let alone some of the other things you mentioned.
Go Fast Campers? More lightweight than a reinforced fiberglass topper, and great wedge tent with access to bed from tent, and side panels to access bed.
Well yeah, tents are pretty good for camping. I’d hate to have to collapse a RTT just to drive to the trailhead of a day hike, go to a nearby beach, etc when camping at the same site for a few nights.
I’m a Toyota guy through and through I own a 2021 top of the line Tacoma TRD ORDC 4x4 lifted with fox by pass on all 4 corners with led head lights and just ove the truck I’ve been trying to like this new tundra but I just can’t get over the looks I think Toyota fell way short on this new tundra. I do the same thing I bring my ground pop up tent and throw a big air mattress in there plug to the Tacoma outlet in the bed and air it up less than 5 min . Which do you like better your taco or the new tundra ? Good content man keep it up 👍🏻
That tent would get hammered in a summer 1-2 day downpour in the Midwest. Most all of these tents here in the Midwest need a rainfly that go to the ground. But there is always the truck. I’m working on a cheap quick setup…flexible loop poles with a tarp overtop and bunjicord tie downs. It sure is nice seeing a young family camping. Best times of my life. It’s the simple things you remember.
I’ve been using this if not the exact tent, one almost identical, set up and all for about 5 years now. No reason to spend $1000+ on a RTT that you drive thousands of miles with it on and use it rarely. For mine I do have an air mattress but most of the time I just roll or and compress a 4” foam mattress topper. And if your camping I. The cold air mattresses will never warm up. That’s why I’ve gone over to the memory foam. Also ground tents are way easier with dogs.
The overland community has gone full circle and rediscovered ground camping 😂.
Great video, keep up the good work!
lol right. Ground camping or sleeping in a hammock is what I've done my entire life.
That's hilarious and so true :)
key word here is "family".
I was ready for a change from car camping out of a Prius in the mountains above Ruidoso so I set a tent out. The next morning I woke up to a Jaguar growling outside the tent wall. I usually car camp unless I can get a chance to explore an area first.
One guy made a whole joke vlog about him inventing Camping itself in order to bring VanLife back to its roots
I've been ground camping for 60 years. I love it, but if you're limited on space, the rooftop tent wins in footprint spacing problems, or camping in rattlesnake areas.
According to some people, animals like a rattle snake can make it up to your tent before you can get to the zipper therefore disputing this benefit, but with that in mind some people still believe the earth is a pancake 😂
Rooftop tents are also good in alligator areas.
Lol Maxx discovering poor-man's car camping is amazing.
We use a 10x10 Kodiak Canvas tent for our camping and it's fantastic. Super easy to setup (though a little heavy),
holds up great to all kinds of weather, tall enough to to stand in, queen size air mattress with tons of room to spare.
Hey Maxx for a family of 4 ground camping is the way to go, we did it for many many years, lot's of fun.
I ditched the RTT for a wall tent.. It was a real pain anytime I wanted to explore I had to pack up camp. I see Overlanding as a great way to establish a base camp for other excursions. Its also a good way to secure some valuable equipment from camp thieves. Which are unfortunately more common than people think. Especially along major trail system like the Appalachian trail.

Got the same tent. We love it. I put on the rain fly first before extending the legs of the tent.
loving the camping vids!
I actually lived in that same tent for a summer as a raft guide. They’re solid. It survives a few pretty big storms
Great video max 💪
Like u said and I agree tent camping is cool for normal parks that you pay for a parking spot and have to hike everywhere but rtt is cool for dispersed camping either way whatever can get someone out to nature and doesn’t hurt there pocket is still awesome!!!

Time to buckle down and make full on content. You are killing it bro, and forget any haters.
Having options is definitely the way to go. You just reinvented the original form of overlanding. The indians did this for centuries.

Thats awesome you were into Parkour bro, I was too back in the day. Good times.
RTT are for ppl w/ disposable income! Tents work perfectly fine to unplug and spend time outdoors w/ the family.
We have exact same tent we love it
good viedo max, keep it uup brother. nice chunk out of your hand there in the last bit.
I can see that erecting the tent in windy conditions would be a challenge.
I've sold my RTTs. Love ground tents and truck bed camping
Love the videos me and my family are heading out to Yosemite and the red woods then up the crater lake then to mount Saint Helen then to glacier national park then back home to Iowa staying in canvas tents. In glacier you should check it out some time
I camp in North Carolina and I tent camp but I’m getting nervous about bears
Carry some bear mace and keep food sealed up tight.
Glad to see some normal camping videos for poors like me.
Where’s that moon fab awning link at? I need one
Max you collected air. REPORTED!
Shit 😅

If "Overland" is the same as a weekend trip every now and then, then sure, use a groundtent.
What's old is suddenly "new" again. Smh. I've never understood the whole rooftop thing, but then again- I've never understood the whole permanent bed installation either in most vans.

Des channel?
Thanks for the content lol pun intended:p
You should put a tarp down before you set up your tent. Especially on sand lol. Welcome to real camping. lmao
A tarp also helps by keeping the moisture from coming up from the ground
I've been watching your channel for years.... now you have a man bun??? 😂🤣
Get a hair cut. Lol skinny jeans next?
Why would i cut my hair? So i can fit in with the nine to fivers? Lol fuck that.

Can’t wait til I’m 50 😭
Just look at all the money you can save just using a ground tent
Awesome Vlog Maxx
You have a Wonderful Family
Hey bro who made the tent or what’s the name of it I’d like to buy one the setup was super easy
The tent is made by Core. It's sold at Costco. It was super easy to set up. It should be around $250 dollars
Like the tent
I love Costco. It must be wierd filming in like the public people got to stare a little lol.

Most of the time ground tents are better. You can get blow up tents or pop up types. The room is worth it alone. Glad your enjoying it.ThankQ TkEZ>UK
I think ground tents have come a long way super easy to set up and take down.
Sweeeeet!
We have trees back east, so a duffle bag with a hammock and rain fly strapped to the buggy and camping out in the woods is the way to go.
Side note, I picked up that same exact tent at the dump the other day... rain fly tarp was missing but otherwise looked brand new. Score.
I’ve been rocking that same tent for years. Fits our 4 cots and pack and play.
"I feel like I am 50" Huh....LOL I am 51 and stronger than ever and competing in Strongman Events. Just stay active and you will be good to go. Great video....Looks like an awesome place.
Enjoy the tent until it rains ...
Good point 👉
That's the same exact tent combo I'm going with lol costco for the win!

RTT are for influencers who go camping once or twice a year. But on Instagram they're overlanding every weekend.
great video! i have a tepui rooftop tent but my truck is lifted, find myself crawling all over to open it and honestly find myself almost eating dirt falling off if its a bit slippery, think of switching it up to ground tenting.
Camping on the ground is NOT better than rtt. I’ll never camp on the ground.
You can try that style in Switzerland. After the second rainy day you will go back to rooftop tent
I didn't know is was illegal to pick a flower in the U.S.
Ahh the freedom!
I like the raised air mattress. I can't get up off the ground.
Wait until your 50! Everything falls apart at 50.
Your bright idea is a tent? What's next, slicing bread?!
Dude… my 10 person Core tent just showed up today, lol. But I got the one with the built in lights. Looking forward to taking the family camping in it🤟🏻 that place looked awesome
"Better than a hotel?"
*Entire family disagrees* 🤣
It took longer than 1 minute to set up, so its far from better than a RTT
I'd rather sleep up high than down with the scorpions.
Yes!! A good ol Maxx and his family video. They are my favorites, I love all the content and watch it all but this is my jam for sure.
Couldn't have picked a better vehicle to do it in.
Where is this place? It looks awesome.
Joshua Tree National Park California
I have the 6 person version of that tent. Super fast and easy. I don’t camp enough to justify the cost of a RTT, let alone some of the other things you mentioned.
What is the name of the tent. I am trying to find it
@@dknight4067 I believe its Core.
?? Right side steering ?????
Go Fast Campers? More lightweight than a reinforced fiberglass topper, and great wedge tent with access to bed from tent, and side panels to access bed.
I'm putting one on the Tundra !
Gazelle T8, check it bro.
Normal camping is cool 😎
I’m too cheap to buy a RTT
❤️👍👍👍👍🙏👍👍👍👍❤️
Well yeah, tents are pretty good for camping. I’d hate to have to collapse a RTT just to drive to the trailhead of a day hike, go to a nearby beach, etc when camping at the same site for a few nights.
So the cheap alternative to a roof top tent is just...a tent
That's right Samuel Anderson. ⛺️
I’m a Toyota guy through and through I own a 2021 top of the line Tacoma TRD ORDC 4x4 lifted with fox by pass on all 4 corners with led head lights and just ove the truck I’ve been trying to like this new tundra but I just can’t get over the looks I think Toyota fell way short on this new tundra. I do the same thing I bring my ground pop up tent and throw a big air mattress in there plug to the Tacoma outlet in the bed and air it up less than 5 min .
Which do you like better your taco or the new tundra ? Good content man keep it up 👍🏻
That tent would get hammered in a summer 1-2 day downpour in the Midwest. Most all of these tents here in the Midwest need a rainfly that go to the ground. But there is always the truck. I’m working on a cheap quick setup…flexible loop poles with a tarp overtop and bunjicord tie downs.
It sure is nice seeing a young family camping. Best times of my life. It’s the simple things you remember.
I’ve been using this if not the exact tent, one almost identical, set up and all for about 5 years now. No reason to spend $1000+ on a RTT that you drive thousands of miles with it on and use it rarely. For mine I do have an air mattress but most of the time I just roll or and compress a 4” foam mattress topper. And if your camping I. The cold air mattresses will never warm up. That’s why I’ve gone over to the memory foam. Also ground tents are way easier with dogs.
