Ordered a pickup tent to use when I hunt the wilderness area. Gas prices prohibits commuting back and forth daily, at least with my truck. I plan on camping 2 or 3 nights then come home to rest up for the next trip. As steep and hilly as this area is 2 or 3 day hunts is about all I can do until I get the scouting done. If I was sitting over likely spots I could stay longer. The hiking up and down the hills is what wears me down.

A guy on YouTube drives with it on the truck for short distances at a max of about 35mph. I plan on doing that to.

Re: Saving Gas on the Hunt
I also got a truck tent it’s the Napier Backroadz Truck Tent. I really like it quick and easy to put up 
I only heat it before I sleep and when I wake up the rest of the time it’s turned off, I heat with a mr buddy heater fuel supplied by a 5lbs propane tank. I also use a carbon dioxide/smoke detector you can never be too safe. A good sleeping bag and I’m pretty well comfy. Saves gas money and waking up later instead at 2 in the morning

Safety is important! Our family lost three friends years ago on an early spring fishing trip from a kerosene heater in the bed of their truck with a cap on it. Be safe guys!

Re: Saving Gas on the Hunt
My problem with the gas prices is that there is no reason for it at all.
I don't want to post political but this crisis is "man" made not due to environmental or a hurricane that's what is extremely bothering.
No new taxes though . That really eases my mind .
My propane was over 5 bucks a gallon last delivered people are literally gonna freeze because of this nonsense .
And as Dan said . Some will die doing simple things to get by.
