Roof Top Tent VS Ground Tent VS Hammock for Overlanding and Camping - What's best for you?
This week I am doing a deep dive into the pros and cons of hammocks, roof top tents, and ground tents (AKA roof top tents for the ground). I've used all three pretty extensively and I'm at a point where I'm really trying to think through the pros and cons of each to decide where I want to take my build going forward.
I figured that the discussion of all the pros and cons could be beneficial for people who are trying to figure out their set ups as well. So, check out the video for all the info!
I know there are some other options (tear drop campers, small camping trailers with an RTT mounted on it, truck bed caps, etc.) but these are the three I'm considering and have the most experience with so I hope it's helpful!
Here are links to some of the gear I use for these different types of camping:
