I know everybody but me is in SLC eating lunch with Elkasassin and others. I hope all of you draw great licenses.
I've been wondering for a while about this. I see in a lot of articles, vidoes, etc where people sleep in the bed of their pickup. That just doesn't make sense to me. With a camper, maybe, but not just in the truck bed. I sleep under the stars on the ground throughout the year, but I can honestly say I have never even considered sleeping in my pickup.
What is the advantage of sleeping in your truck bed? Are you afraid of snakes, mice, bears, lions, coyotes, people? Don't like dirt? Feel like the bed walls are a windbreak (for Wyoming folks only)?
I like sleeping on the ground with a tarp under my bag. lt's close to mother earth and usually warmer and out of the wind. Lots of room to roll around and I don't have to worry about falling off a bumper if I have t pee in the night.
So why do so many people sleep in the bed of their truck?
