The rooftop tent confession — do you actually love it or does it just look lekker?
Keen to get the experienced members' take on this.
My view: The best piece of gear I own is not the most expensive — it is my Garmin inReach Mini. Everything else can be improvised. Communication when things go wrong cannot..
Keen to hear other opinions — this community has experience across the full spectrum of SA outdoor activities and I think we learn more from disagreement than agreement.

Based in George here — my weekend choice depends entirely on what the Hilux needs — fishing or overlanding.
The 4x4 bakkie gets mocked by people who have not tried it. Let them mock. The sunsets from a campsite 139km from the nearest traffic light are not something you can explain to someone who has not experienced it.
