The Tacoma Upgraded to a Roof Top Tent!
After an iffy trip in the Napier a couple weeks ago, I decided we would need to upgrade to an RTT for our trip across the US in June. After some research I decided on a RedRock bed rack and a Rough Country RTT for my truck. I'm pretty stoked with how it turned out!

Living in my Truck for a Week Gone WRONG: Tent broke
มุมมอง 7632 ปีที่แล้ว
This was supposed to be a week of adventure that turned into a weather let down. The Southeast was hit by some pretty bad storms over the week and it effected our plans for the week. This is just a video explaining and updating what is going on with the video that was planned. Nonetheless, we will shake it off and keep on truckin'!

Sleeping in my Truck Bed in a National Forest: I CRASHED MY DRONE.....

Well, this trip started off terrible when I crashed my drone on its debut voyage, but I powered through and had a great time! I attempted to start a fire with a ferro rod for the first time and we slept in just the truck bed for the first time.

Solo Winter Camping in Freezing Temperatures With no Shelter
มุมมอง 6532 ปีที่แล้ว
GoPro lost some footage, so this video is missing some parts In this video we celebrate reaching 100 SUBSCRIBERS! I tested my limits by sleeping in the cold with no shelter. I have never done this for and decided what better time to try than as a celebration for all of your support to my channel so far? I hope you enjoy!
Valentines Winter Truck Camping in the Mountains: It started snowing

Took my wife on a Valentines Day trip to the mountains. Cooked her a skillet steak meal with chocolate covered strawberries. The weather went from sunny and warm one day, to snowing the next. I hope you enjoy the adventure!
Winter Tent Camping in Sub Freezing Temperatures: It Was Muddy
มุมมอง 3.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In today's video I introduce my wife Cayla to the truck tent. It is cold and it is muddy. I am taking her on a camping trip for Valentines Day and I wanted to give her a simple warm-up. She also has the opportunity for revenge after claims that I made fun of her cooking in my first video.
Budget Truck Camping: Napier Truck Tent (UNDER $500 SETUP)
มุมมอง 3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I will add up the cost of my basic camping essentials to show you that you can hit the road and camp for under $500. We can't all afford thousands of dollars rigs, so hopefully this will help some of you take the leap and go!
First solo truck tent camp! IN A SNOWSTORM

    I'm a civil war reenactor. I've been using a floorless tent for years. I just bought a nice truckbed tent but haven't even opened it yet. I have to fabricate a mounting adapter set first, but looking forward to using it. Great video for a first time out !! Wish you could have stayed longer, but being from up here in a more northern state, I get it.

    I have the same tent except I have an F-150. I use 2 mattresses out of a fold away couch, they fit perfect between the wheel wells and are as comfortable as your bed would be. Of course, in the summer, I use an OFF mosquito lantern. Perfect amount of light at night.

    Just came across your video. I subbed the channel. Question, it looks like you drove with the tent still attached to the truck? Was it, or did you take it down? I just got the same tent for Christmas and don't think I would leave it attached while driving.

    I don't blame you for hauling it out of there before the snow storm gets worse so you're not stuck in it. Here's so tips I learned : To sleep onto your clothes you're waring the next day so they will be warm to wear but long John wear was necessary. As far as the 30 ➕ year MRE.. Good luck, 😊

    I got a queen size 0° sleeping bag, a full size air bed with pump oh and two 12 volt extension cord so I can pump up the air bed, I went crazy and found myself a 1500 watt inverter so I can have some real electric. 12 volt coffee maker. 12 volt electric blanket. Coleman gas grill and a 4-ft folding table. And two large 6 ft x 7 ft camo blankets, now I just need to go camping. About the time I get everything ready the four service here closes the forest because it average temperature every day was 93° and no rain so the forest was closed.

    This is the video that I saw, what in the world is that??? So I backed it up and it said Napier on the Tent. I was watching the guy have a mad scramble to get everything packed and get up and gone before it snowed him in!!!! So I googled Napier and saw these really cool looking tents and did some study and some homework and then in about 2 weeks it showed up FedEx. Napier backroads camo truck tent!!!!

      No it is isn’t. As far as truck tents go I’m not sure what the best would be. For regular tents, a lot of people seem to like the ice fishing tents for winter camping

    Great video. Did you go on a Friday the 13th by chance? :) I would suggest to consider taking a 2nd tent as a backup for the long trip. Napier sometimes has "defective" tents for sale for cheap. All you got to do there is to just waterproof it. Also look at the defective tent sales for spare parts. One of the tent poles on my Napier broke, and it was cheaper to buy a sales tent with all the fixings then to get just the tent poles.
