1/4". If you're looking for the best one, I think Boostwerks Engineering is back in production. That's the one that I wanted, but this one has been on for a year now and I have no complaints, especially for the price.

@@campoutwestus yea I’m cheap

@@LSA_900 glad you found it helpful!

@@lakotamarriott262 it's a cool place!

They are interchangeable, pretty much the same thing. We purchased some kerosene to try in our old heater because some say that it burns cleaner, but I could not tell a difference. Just buy whatever is available at the best price.

Diesel has some lubrication additives that aren't necessary in a heater, but that's about it. Most people use it because it's easier to get and sometimes less expensive.

@@campoutwestus I see. Diesel is the smelliest stuff. Once it gets on your clothing you can never get it out and it stinks forever.

@@timking2194 thanks! We love our budget setup and our 1988 Jeep Comanche 👍

Thanks, I'm really getting tired of buying different pumps, 4 so far including the Flextail dedicated deflator. Does the one that you have fit inside or outside of the mattress valve? I think the issue that I'm having is the flap inside the valve is interfering with deflation and I need to find an adapter that does not fit inside.

@@campoutwestus It sounds to me like you are not using the two valves (inflate and deflate). Only one (to inflate) for both functions. Please correct me if I am wrong. [apologies in advance if you already know this] Just to clarify, this is what I mean. There is a valve on the left side of the rear of the mattress (looking from outside) that is used to inflate the mattress. It's orange tab will prevent deflation, making it almost impossible to deflate the mattress. On the right side, there is a second cap to the deflate valve. The orange tab in that one prevents air from going inside the mattress, so you can use it to easily deflate it. My pump needs to be held in place outside the valve for about 10 seconds to inflate and about the same to deflate when running in reverse, using the appropriate valves. If you want I can make a short clip showing this. Feel free to reach out to me if you have an X (Twitter) account and we can DM.

No, we are absolutely using both valves. Inflation is fine, but deflation takes forever. There were some Folks on the I.O. Facebook Forum that designed an adapter to fit on the outside of the valve instead of the inside because they were having the same issue. I've got the 3d print file, I'm just trying to find someone to print it. The consensus seems to be that the deflator becomes obstructed by the orange disc.

@@campoutwestus Interesting. Sorry to learn you are having problems. I wonder if there are different versions of the valves. I deflated mine many times as we camped at different locations traveling most of the United States and through British Columbia, Yukon and The Northwest territories, and had no issues. My orange disc (on the right side) opens up when deflating allowing the pump to suck all the air out in just a few seconds. I have to do a full walkthrough of my tent now that I know it well, but I am in the middle of editing my expedition to The Arctic for this Friday. As soon as I get a chance, I will upload something about that. Cheers!

@@cascirice1729 yay! Thanks for letting us know. Hope you enjoyed Humboldt City ghost town 👍

@campoutwestus You're welcome . Great idea BTW! We left it for the next visitors to stumble across.

@@johnlewis7047 we took County Rd 217 to Soldier Meadow Rd, through the Indian reservation, then Knot Creek Rd to 140 (Denio-Adel Rd). I'm just looking back at our route on Gaia GPS and I think this is pretty close to what we actually drove. Hope you have a great trip! 👍. Also, as far as I know, no one recovered the $20 we put in the book 😉

Thanks so much. It looks like there are options with your route being the most direct. By the way, I really enjoy the adventurous and intrepid nature of your videos…especially that long drive without a working clutch!

@@johnlewis7047 I appreciate the kind words. It's always an adventure in a 36 year old truck 👍

On a related note, I saw that you went to Soldier Meadow HS from Cedarville via Gerlach. Have you gone thru Fly Canyon from High Rock Canyon to Soldier Meadow? I was told that it’s SPORTY!

@@johnlewis7047 we did not. I don't see a through route on my map there. I bet it's a neat place to explore though 👍

@@NaomiReid-f6c we got our routes from Overland Trail Guides www.overlandtrailguides.com/

@@thombatty1950 it's a gem, I really liked it 👍

Thanks, I have no idea who built it. I bought it off of a friend who had it on a Samurai.

@@tonyfourpaws4511 good idea 👍

Yes, we welded in new spring perches in the correct position and at the correct pinion angle. I did the swap close to 20 years ago before I had a good welder, so I just tacked them into the correct position and then had a welder burn them in.

@@swooshdave it was at a campground in Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge called Camp Hart Mountain. It was a nice break from the wind 👍

@@campoutwestusThanks. We just were in the Alvord/Owhyee area over Labor Day and looking for more places to explore next time.

@@swooshdave I recommend Hart Mountain area. It's really interesting.

@@jeffhildreth9244 I bet it was like the wild West still back then. What adventures!

@@campoutwestus Yup. Hunting for scorpions, throwing blasting caps in the Humboldt river to blow out the carp, picking choke cherries and pine nuts. Best story was standing inline with all the kids at the Sage Theater all day Saturday movies for a quarter. Next door was a bar.. On one of those Sat. we heard a huge ruckus/ sounded like a real fight with broken bottles and chairs and then comes an Indian flying out the door backwards with a knife in his belly.. I kid you not. This was the real deal.

@@jeffhildreth9244 wow!

@@campoutwestus Welcome to Winnemucca, a balanced community. For everyone of the 13 brothels there was a church. I really miss that town given it still has some of that "charm". By the way,, about a mile up Water Creek there was Chief Winnemucca's winter camp ground on the right (west). Not only did we fine dozens and dozens of projectile points ( arrow heads ) I found a Spanish bridle. The local museum director, archeologist, confirmed it as being made around 1500. Alas, stolen from my collection along with other finds. Keep in mind the county was named after the famous German explorer Von Humboldt.

@OdySlim this one is a Jeep Comanche, but they did make a Jeep Honcho earlier in the 80's

@@OdySlim I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Had to come back to say, this was a nicely put together video. The editing was done well!

@@goodmeasure777 thank you for the kind words. I'm happy you enjoyed the video 👍

@@CraigKoppel it was a really fun group. Cindy definitely won the wood chopping competition.

@@jerryhorn5866 I agree, these areas are my favorite. I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

@@monsterslayer4317 thanks! It was a fun adventure for sure. I hope you get the chance on your Triumph 👍

@@changstravel thank you 🌲🌿🍃

@@kristinkoepke5182In our old rooftop tent we were able to store a lot of bedding. This newer, low profile tent only allows one sleeping bag flat out, with one blanket on top. We compare the two tent styles in our "inspired overland rooftop tent review" video and that might help you to decide which style tent is best for you.

@@kristinkoepke5182 I appreciate the kind words. There are a few different Nevada ghost town books we have used, but we have more luck studying maps. Also there's a website with a lot of great information www.nvexpeditions.com/index.php thanks for watching!

@@mariojsworld thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍

@@CraigKoppel 😁 yes, this road trip required air conditioning and a little more speed so we drove my daily driver and it was great! I was a little worried on some of the dirt roads, but the Mustang was a champ and we didn't pop a tire 👍

@@scottymac5174 oh, that would be cool 😎

@@scottymac5174 there's so much to see here, you could wander around for days!

@@scottymac5174 that sounds peaceful and perfect 👌. The weather should be great, enjoy!

@@scottymac5174 have you been here? It's really great!

@@campoutwestus yes it is. Camping around there. Watching the sky at night.

@@scottymac5174 I agree!

@@moejr14 we live in the very Northern part of the state where housing prices aren't as high as some parts of CA. We have good jobs and work hard.

@@dad_wagon1976 I agree. Walt is a really great guy. This is one of our favorite ghost towns!

@@troymaxx9453 thanks! This is one of our favorite places. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

@@huntercoleman460 thanks Hunter! It's one of our favorites 😁

I haven't had any issues with that. It is much longer lasting than normal protectant type products.

@@buscampers thanks for watching! It was a pretty great trip. The RC crawlers are fun 😁

That's my next project. My locks are pretty much the same.

@@larryparson9609 thank you for watching.

@@curtshelp6170 you should, they're great rigs! Good luck with your project and thanks for watching.

@@ETRNL9983 I think it's an official Gambler symbol. Was it drawn in dust or spray painted on? If it's in dust; just out of humor. If painted; someone either doesn't like you, or really likes you?

@@williamwallace9826 thank you so much for the kind comment and the reminder to do the things you enjoy while you still can as you never know what life will throw at you. I hope you're able to get out for some adventures, no matter how close to home. I'll happily continue making videos knowing people enjoy them.

@@PrimalOutdoors thank you, this area was a real surprise. We will go back and explore more some day.

Yes it is. They are sold for 5 gallon drinking water bottles. We purchased ours on Amazon, it has a USB rechargeable battery. The one that we bought shows not available, but there are many others available. We do remove it during travel. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B087QFGYSM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

@@garygazzano2759 we appreciate that and hope it inspires you to have adventures of your own 👍

@@huntercoleman460 it was such an unexpected surprise. Definitely the best camping spot of the trip 👍

@@jephreaux I'm so happy you enjoyed them, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

@@Buywithbrigitte707 it got into the 90's most days of the trip, which feels like 100 in the Comanche 🥵.

@@htchevyii771 I agree, it was such an awesome surprise!

@@CraigKoppel thanks Craig. This part of the trip kept surprising me. People always say Nevada is ugly, but when you get off the beaten path there are some real gems!
