One of our favorite things about off grid camping is night sky, and few neighbors. If we do have neighbors, we sure don't want to ruin their experience, either.  4 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted November 12, 2023 Moderator+ Share Posted November 12, 2023 The only good thing about the light is they will probably turn it off after a short time. Unlike those that build a stinking fire and go to bed with it still smouldering. 6 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Maggie, Lucy and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4              Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyGS Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 People really don't have much consideration for their camping neighbors.  OK... SOME people...  We've had folks using generators (that were placed behind their camper and in front of ours) right up until the 10pm cut off.  And most recently a group that set their campfire ring and chairs right next to our trailer and were yakking away until 11:30pm. (OK.. it was in NJ.. I should have expected it)  The first night when I told them we were trying to sleep they knocked it off. The second night one guy who had a little too much to drink wanted to start a fight.  Preference is state or NP campsites, but when we have to book a commercial campsite I look for one with sites as far apart from each other as possible (Thankful for google maps satellite view) and always check the quiet hours rules.  Scotty 4 Gregg & Donna Scott and Missy the Westie  -   The Flying Sea Turtle - Hull # 145   Western NC   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Foster Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 This would be great to own if you lived in Transylvania. I enjoy some bright lights at times, on my truck going down a muddy trail, security lights on a house, and seldomly when being attacked by a bear or something while camping. Most of the time, the stars provide all the ambience I need to enjoy life. 3 2014 Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel 4X4 Truck 2024 Oliver Legacy Elite II Hull 1460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill That's cool. I don't believe in vampires, but if I camped there, I would bring flashlights with daylight bulbs, a bag of garlic, sharpened wooden stakes, holy water and picture of Roddy Macdowall. 2 1 2014 Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel 4X4 Truck 2024 Oliver Legacy Elite II Hull 1460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted November 16, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2023 @Jason Foster, just bring your camera, and a credit card. Transylvania county NC is full of beautiful waterfalls, and picturesque little towns. (Always garlic in the cabinet... but never sighted a vampire. Just pleasant humans.) 2 1 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

I think Brevard could host a Hallmark movie. Little Sylva, a county away, is another little gem. Small town Western North Carolina is worth the travel.
