Maybe if you trashed the inside of your car and make it really dirty on the outside it will be less appealing to thieves!

So many to choose from. Are you looking to get lost or to have a desert party?

Cool. How was your hike Joe?

Has anyone had any experiences with pop-up tents and what are the downsides?

Eat more bread

In response to mikeinFHAZ's reply: I couldn't agree more. A jungle hammock is the way to go if you're going to be by trees. The real question is, do you mind being wide open and vunerable to anything? If you don't mind, then a sleeping bag on a pad under the stars is the way to go. If you're scared...
