How I Set Up My Truck to Hunt, Scout & Live Out of It (2026)

Walk-through of my complete 2023 Toyota Tundra setup for hunting trips, scouting runs, and backcountry travel — rooftop tent and all. This is an update from last year's video. New tires, a hidden winch setup, cold air intake swap, and a few things I pulled out of my kit after realizing I didn't actually need them. The goal with this rig is simple: show up anywhere, camp out of the truck, and be ready to hunt the next morning without a second vehicle or a trailer slowing me down. Key stuff covered: Toyo AT3 tire switch from BFG KO2s and what I actually think Hidden winch install and why I finally pulled the trigger Go Fast Campers rooftop tent setup and how fast it actually deploys Diamondback bed setup with cross bin as a pull-out drawer Go bag, food tote, camp tote — how I keep everything grab-and-go Jackery 1000 + Starlink Mini for a full week off-grid What I removed from my kit and why (high lift jack, chains) Full gear list with links: https://eastmeetswesthunt.com/blogs/j...
