Not going with Hest mattress for a few reasons.. Hest is probably the most expensive mattress on the internet The more affordable Hest Foamy breaks down from several reviews Hest Foamy mattress does not hold up well to larger people (+200lbs) The Hest mattresses take up the most room of any mattress rolled up So what options am I looking at that... not going to kill me on price lasts me awhile can comfortably hold a large tall guy stores in a decent amount of room Many many reviews point to Therma-Rest as a potential solution. Only hesitation is out of over 800 reviews.. 9% of them state these have leaks from the day they got the mattress and trying to get the manufacture to make it right isn't possible. Still leaning on this due to all the positive reviews.

Here are some ideas based on what I see others bring and what I bring. When preparing for my overland trip I want to make sure I can stay on the trails for 7 days (avg). SLEEPwhere are you sleeping? Overlandish Basecamp Standard - Stowed Dimensions: 59" x 15" x 15" Weight: 70 lbs - purchased but not sure how I'm packing it in the 4Runner with the dog but I'll figure it out — ordered Rooftop Tent (pro: easy setup, comfortable con: always on vehicle, difficult to remove, extra weight when offroading) From what I have been reading, alot of people that had roof top tents have moved to ground tents and some of the most popular ground tents are... Gazelle (summer time since its non-insulated) Advantage: Very affordable Advantage: Very popular (probably because very affordable) Overlandish (4 season tent) Advantage: camp anytime, anywhere Advantage: built to last a lifetime Advantage: popular for serious overlanders what are you sleeping on? (cot, mattress, ground) Luno Mattress (pro: custom fit for inside 4runner or can use in tent, can unzip to split into 2 separate mattresses and safe for dogs con: small and for 6’2) - $349 DeepSleep Mattress Blankets/Pillows/Sleeping Bags sleeping bag (pro: comfy, built in pillow most of the time con: takes up ALOT of space) blankets (pro: not restrictive, doesn't take alot of room con: may not keep warm enough, requires separate pillow Hover Quilt (preferred) - $349 for a solo x 2 (his and hers) $700 Horizon Overland Blanket Power Jackery — we have Portable Fan — we have Cell Phone chargers — we have BathroomToilet Paper (wet wipes) — Garbage Bags — we have Hand Santizer — Shovel — we have Toothbrush/Toothpaste — we have Body Wipes — Deodorant — we have WASTEGarbage Bags (Tall Kitchen) Doggie Bags for Dog or for Dude Wipes ClothingSweatshirt — we have T-shirts — we have Pants — we have Shorts — we have Underwear — we have Socks — we have Sleepwear — we have Raincoat — we have EATwhat are you going to eat? ?? how are you storing the food?

You have limited space to store stuff and when you going offroad you need to make sure everything is secure. Here are some great options to help you get secure and organized.. but you better have some deep pockets or high limit on credit card cause they aren't cheap Air Down Gear Up (ADGU)I love this system and I like it becauses it doesn't use thick wood panels for the drawer system. So not adding a lot of weight but you can clearly see its high quality. When I price it out for my 4Runner its as low as $4000 and easily up to near $8000. Interior Dimensions of drawers: 33" L x 15.25" W x 9" H (this allows for storage of 7.5" tall items in the drawers) Solid Wood WorxA more affordable solution that may work. Looks like quality and less than half the cost of ADGU at $2400. DFG OffroadThis is even more affordable and appears to be a solid product from reading. It sells for around $1500 WheelsFeels.comSeems as an affordable but well built solution coming in around $1300 with free shipping in the United States
