VW Bus Winter SOLSTICE Camping - desert to pine - 4K holiday version
Hey Folks! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! Holiday / Whimsical-themed video, so grab a friend and enjoy the adventure. 🥶
Scouring the back trails of Big Bear California in the hunt for that perfect Winter Solstice Camping location! I did have an area in mind. As the late afternoon was creeping to evening I found one! The evening temperatures dropped rapidly. I bundled up and made it warm and comfy inside the Bus for the night. Waking up to Five Degrees in the morning put me on warning. At that moment, I knew I would have to cut the trip short. With the lack of sleep, I wasn't feeling the relocation miles away to the Desert Floor. So, The Super Cold night was too much for this old Dude to handle. Only a single night on this Overland trip. Well, a camping trip. So come along for a ride and enjoy the 2024 Winter Solstice with me! The Stew was tasty!

OVERLANDING ... in a VW Bus That was made in 1958!
มุมมอง 40Kหลายเดือนก่อน
VOA presents an adventure of epic proportions. Nah, not really. This overland trip is a light three-day outing. I took an old VW bus for a run in the Mojave Desert, enjoyed the breathtaking views, and participated in some amazing hikes. I even brewed some Coffee using a percolator coffee pot; the coffee was delicious. Enjoy the video, Larry #solo #camping #overlanding #vintageoverlandadventures...

      Your set-up sounds great! I'm good above 20F, I added a USB heated seat pad under my Lithium-ion battery to keep it above 34F. 5F was to cold, I was up all night turning the heat on & off. I only do 3/4 Cold camping adventures a year. So I would like to leave the heater at home when it's not needed.

    • @cabracove
      @cabracove 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@VintageOverlandAdventures Yep, it's a dance. My battery is huge and its self heating. I'm good for 4 or 5 days with no charge. It will discharge fine below freezing, but not charge. Solution to that is the diesel again. Fire the van up and the alternator will charge the battery as the heater keeps the battery warm. Less power than using the internal battery heater itself. I'm too old to be cold, LOL. Cheers, and Merry Christmas.

    Great video. Liked how the video cuts are in time with the Roundabout music. I see you have an old aluminum chair with the aluminum armrests. I've had the same exact chair for over 35 years, rewebbed it I don't know how many times. Haven't seen one with aluminium armrests for many years, no one makes them. Also, I dig the vintage Coleman camp gear, got a bunch of it too. The old stuff was made so well and works great if you take care of it. Camped up near Holcolm Valley in an old Chevy van years ago and didn't prepare for such a cold night. Condensation from breathing left about an eighth inch sheet of ice on the inside windshield. That old carbureted engine took FOREVER to finally warm up and defrost enough to get out of there. Thanks for bringing back memories. Merry Christmas. Will subscribe.

    What kind of heater is that? Do you have a video on it? Do you carry a spare gas tank or water tank? Those plastic ones all the Tacoma guys use would look cool mounted somewhere. I don't think I will ever go camping in a place like this, cuz I drive more in the city and like my bus lower, but I can still go to the campsites that are more car friendly.

    Hey Brother I just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas !! Great to see you back out there ! I'm 69 now but I remember waking up with it being 6 degrees in my camper van. That was back in the early nineties, Now forget it. Big Bear is a great area, Lots of great memories there. Thanks so very much for what you do !! The van really sounds great !! Take care and stay healthy my friend !! Happy New Year !

      Merry Christmas! 5 Degrees was cold, The hardest part was getting out of the sleeping bag to turn on the heater (8times). Summer task is a Propane Heater with thermostat. Looking @Propex . Stay Warm My Brother! 🥶

    Which tires you have on the bus? They appeared to handle the icy snow quite well.

    You're pretty brave to take that old VW on the roads where you camped! Just tuned inh, but you must have equipt the bus with a beefed up suspension. Very cool!

      Thanks! It's got a few modifications, but the old suspension still works great!

    Great video! Another great adventure. Cold, but great. The first day of winter brought some snow here to east Tennessee. Glad to see you out and about. Keep the videos coming. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Only 88 days til spring!

    Great video Larry! Love that forest with the big granite boulders! Could hear the crows licking their chops after catching the aroma of you stew on the wind. Bring on the longer days! Liked the end narration! Merry Christmas!

    New tires? No rubbing issues in the front wells when you turn?

      Three years old, only rub while turning into a rut or a Rail-Road Crossing at 50mph+
