Thanks for the questions. Those are good questions. Regarding the stove pipe. No, we have no problems in high winds. The pipes fit fairly snug when connected together. The tent is not waterproof as that word can be misleading. In very wet conditions, we get a bit of condensation or moisture accumulating on the floor so we keep a towel handy. That happens with every tent we've ever owned.

Thanks greatly. What do you like about it?

Our pleasure!

We used fuel additive with fair to good result down to around -10F. Below that, we had problems getting the van started and I think the DEF started to freeze at -20F.

@@livingmyalaska I film and photo the Auroras from Fairbanks to the Brooks Range. Been out days at a time -30 to-50. Did this with a gas vehicle and was brutal. Now I have a sprinter and thinking I better put in a pre Engine heater... Did not even think about the DEF System. Lots to prepare for. Thanks for the reply. Great content you have posted for everyone to see. Wish you the best.

@@gregsyverson Thanks greatly. We had one major issue where the starter would not respond to the push button. It blew a fuse located near the passenger foot well. Stranded us overnight in sub-zero. I could not get my Sprinter to start at -30F. Photographing auroras sounds amazing!

The Rubicon is an awesome machine but it has limitations. It will not climb like the 6x6 and it will not carry as much payload as the 1000cc 6x6, or ride as smooth or pull as much or go through as much deep mud or snow. The 6x6 chassis is what makes it so very valuable.

LOL, we have TWO of them. The tent changed back country hunting for us in a big way.

We've seen people use a forced air portable diesel heater to pump air in so I imagine a portable air conditioner would work in the same way?

Let us kow how you like it once you get a chance to test it out.

@@therealist5648 can’t remember the name but it’s on parks highway almost to big lake road. Taylor equipment maybe?

That one is made by Ruger and the model is called Toklat. They no longer make that one but they make similar models in the 454 Casull or 44 mag. caliber. Do you prefer one brand or another?

Freedom units. Love that!

Thanks I think it is the 8 but I would need to verify. I have two of them. One with vestibule and one without.

We Fought the Road

It is a long drive and a nice spot to take a break and refresh. Have you ever been through there in Winter?

@livingmyalaska no I have not. We always did it during the summer. As soon as school got out, we would drive from Anchorage to Grayling Michigan stay for about a month visiting family across Michigan, then drive back.

Yes they do.

Mountain goats and Dall Sheep are very different. Not the same thing. For the uninformed, it is possible to think a female sheep is a goat if you only look at the horns because they slightly resemble each other but not very much.

Aren't they cute?

LOL, is cinnamon swirl a Canadian thing? In the USA, I've never heard the term.

​@@steviesbadtv I'm from the US & I've always called them cinnamon rolls or buns. Usually cinnamon rolls. Maybe it depends on where we live in the US? I was raised in Wisconsin up until my teen years and then moved to Washington State. I think I've heard it called by both names.

@@livingmyalaska I don’t know if they say that in Canada you would need to ask a Canadian…😏🤷🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@jenniferhansen3622 what would you consider a swirl a circle or a spiral shape? It’s not in the name it’s in the Look. And we invented them. So yeah. Cinnamon swirls..😜🤷🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@steviesbadtv It really doesn't matter. Different places will call things by different names.

Maybe it was because we were hungry and weary of traveling but it was better than expected.

LOL, it is an interesting situation. How do you think they got in there?

Yes! I found the idle screw on the right side of the carb. The screw is connected to a short cable with a thumb screw for easy adjustment. Great running little machine.

Yes you are correct. I found the idle screw. Such a great little machine.
