    Warren Miller did a great speech about how he and a buddy camped out in the Mammoth parking lot c. 1950 for the whole winter.

    Question. IF you did make it to your camping spot having your clearance problems with the present snow level, what's plan #2 if you camped and its snowed another 10 inches overnight?

    • @michaelhawkins318
      @michaelhawkins318  ปีที่แล้ว

      The idea was that the new snow is usually pretty light and fluffy so we figured we’d be able to just plow through it even if it was a foot or two. It was also supposed to be a lot colder this entire trip and it ended up being very wet snow which made things a lot harder.

    Bought a cheap diesel heater and with new controllers/boards still nothing but error codes. Just ordered yours for twice the cost.
    Lesson: buy once, cry once 😀

      I have a cheap diesel heater and this one that’s just a little bit more expensive but I have not had a problem with either of them. I do run it on full blast for about 10 minutes before I turn them off every single time I heard that’s good to burn off any carbon buildup.

      @@michaelhawkins318 it's absolutely amazing - the quality of the parts, accessories and manual. Literally added diesel, hooked up the exhaust/power and ran the automatic pump primer function and - boom - *heat* 5 minutes later 🔥☺👍🏼🔥

    Did a snow plow not come during the night seeing as you are on the road, and not off to the side?

    • @michaelhawkins318
      @michaelhawkins318  ปีที่แล้ว

      So the main trail was plowed for the electric company to get to the polls, but where we were camping was an offshoot, and it was pretty deep.

    May I ask what tent you guys have and how it holds up?

    • @michaelhawkins318
      @michaelhawkins318  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! The rooftop tents are made by Topatopgear. It’s a company, my buddy and I started it and we are just testing out all of the tents. If you are in Southern California and interested, we can definitely hook you up.
      So far they are holding up very well and we have put them through some pretty extreme stuff.

      Yes, but not enough. The Land Rover can’t air down too much because of the low profile tires and I could have aired down more in the jeep.
