First overnight with the trailer and I’m already hooked

Took the trailer out for its first real night this weekend. Just a quiet little state park site with nothing but trees and dirt.

We didn’t bother with the hookups. Ran the lights, charged phones, and kept a small fan going off a bluetti elite 300. Worked fine the whole time. The awning, the checkered tablecloth and that blue rug somehow made the whole spot feel way more put together than it actually was. Truck and trailer combo is solid so far.

Already looking forward to the next trip.

First real Perseids under dark skies tonight – what am I forgetting?

Gonna drive out to a proper dark site later tonight to watch the Perseids for real instead of just catching a couple from the backyard. Never done a dedicated meteor night before so I’m probably overthinking the gear list.

Bringing a small telescope, phone, and a bluetti battery to keep everything charged without running a generator the whole time. Figure power and basic optics are the main things, but I keep feeling like I’m missing something obvious.

Anyone who’s done this a few times – what else do you usually pack for a night of meteor watching? Red lights, chairs, bug stuff, extra layers… what am I blanking on?
