Load Suggestions?

I misplaced my sleeping bag years ago, so picked up a new tent and sleeping bag the other day. I am kind of new to this, so any suggestions on the camping front would be great. I am hoping to have some vehicles sold and a Tahoe acquired by WF so I can trailer my XJ. I didn't realize they have electric so easily accessible out there, I may just bring the electric heater and sleep in there.

Or is a tent the only way to get the legitimate Winterfest experience?
 
Pansy! You don't need a sleeping bag for WF! You roll yourself up in a tarp and sleep under the Jeep......that's how the hardcore guys do it!

(says the guy that made hotel reservations.):D
 
I'm wanting to register for this...but my concern is much the same as XJ Strykers concerns. My rig is:
1) not much of a rig, (a 4.5" lift and 31's)
2) going to be driving there and hopefully driving it back :D

so, I'm a little wary of actually attending.

Ah, come on now... (says the guy who is only 30 minutes away from the Badlands...)

I've managed to go out there half a dozen times and not break anything so far. I think you'll be around people who are experienced enough to know your rig's limits. And from what I've gathered, I don't think anyone will leave you broken and stranded... right guys? ...right? :D

I would say that you could drive out just to be social and ride along with someone, but you know once you get out there you're going to want to see what your rig can do...
 
I drove all the way out from Jersey (13hours) a few years ago, wheeled the piss out of my Jeep and drove all the way with only a minor hiccup a few years ago. Don't miss Winterfest! In fact, I may just happen to show up a for this years event :cheers:
 
you need to come. my first naxja event was Tellico in 01, I had 3" and 31 thornturds. Only a rear locker. I wheeled with Ron S with his MASSIVE XJ on 35's and had a great time.

(start music from dirty dancing)

there's alot of us that have big rigs now, but we all started small, Gene MJ is a great example, Pat is another. It's like being a father again, seeing 'your boys' grow into men. If you love to wheel, love your jeep, you need to attend events to see what others are doing and I can promise that you wont be left to fend for yourself, you will learn to wheel and the biggest promise is that you will have the time of your life.

see you there.

You could not have said it better. My first NAXJA event was WF08 and it is what hooked me. I had been wheeling for years before that, but it was one of the best structured events and great group of guys and gals that one could ask to wheel with. This year I am going to make sure and get in as much camp fire time as possible. :D :cheers:
