  • I can't believe camping spots like I found in North Carolina are free. Spots like these out west go for over $20.00 or more/day. Most are improved with fire rings, picnic tables and leveled tent sites. They do not have water or electric. They are numbered and after talking to a law enforcement ranger the area is policed and dispersed camping is only allowed in select spots which keeps the traffic down. These spots are also spaced out so you're not right on top of another group camping near you. I was really impressed with the dispersed camping options in North Carolina.
    You can see more of my truck bed camping, fly fishing and road tripping videos on my channel.

    It's always nice to see the East coast get a little love from the fly fishing community!! I love Montana but an hour drive to NC is so much easier.

    It is rugged and difficult. I'm fairly new but went to western NC and just getting in a position to cast and fish with the rocks and trees was a challenge. Gonna need some better boots for wading. I'll get the Orvis Ultra Lights you recommended.

    Been meaning to ask- do you have any issues getting (dirt road)dust coming through the tailgate/canopy?
    I get it pretty bad. Have tried various ways of sealing, etc., but still get fine layer all over my stuff - especially if on dirt roads all day.
