Bugging out with kids in toe makes staying in place and defending a well known location, access points, defilades, etc a preferable option. If you're lucky enough to live outside cities and know your neighbours well, you can create layers of mutual defence better than any castle. The caveat being it only works where there is a strong sense of community.
Absolutely
Agreed. In-depth Area Study and build an intel network if you are gonna bug in.
Did you reply to that number in you’re response??
Depends on the situation. In a natural disaster, staying put may not be an option.
My first choice would be stay in place im in the country... The only reason for me to move would be a disaster like Palestine Ohio for example... so a plan b.. I like to fish in the lakes of Appalachia so a 4x4 camper is a lot of fun and works as a bug out...but i bet it will be a little crowded with strangers up there if shtf...
Keep these videos coming SGM. Hearing your quick and easy breakdowns of gear and situations is great
Nice walk around. We installed that Lagun table mount in our camper and love it. Game changer for moving kitchen prep space, eating... Audio & video was great, btw.
Yes love this style it’s more of an interaction with people!!! Thanks for sharing
I love this style of filming. It would be cool to see a daily or weekly vlog style like this if that possible of you mike. I enjoy your content regardless though haha
Do the vlog videos and just have more videos
Agree!
I really enjoy the vlog style format. Quick video PACKED with information. Thanks for the intel, Mike!
Yes, very much enjoy the vlog style information. And the video and sound were excellent.
we use an electric blanket underneath us in colder seasons. I slept in my boxers when the temps got around 30F at night, in a Smittybilt RTT. it works great, because it warms up the bed instead of the air. the heat from the bed and us, warms up the air enough.
Love this style of video. Way more personal and also love the open criticism of products that just don’t cut the mustard
Great video! A few things to change, but will be an awesome setup when you get it all worked out! Can’t wait to see it all done the way you’re talking about.
Huge props for being honest.
I was just talking to my wife about building a basic shell on my flatbed like this. I'm never going to pull a 5th wheel out west from Michigan that's for sure! I definitely would add something like a home base radio like i played with when i was a kid. I taped fiberglass rods together and pushed the antenna up the water heater vent pipe so it stuck out above our roof! LOL . Keep up the good work Mike!
Try adding shelves for more storage in the side compartments, and unscrewing the exhaust pipes and mounting them tighter to the bottom of the Kenai.
Big fan of this vlog style, thanks Mike!
Love the style -- feels more personal. And thanks for the gear impressions!
Thanks Mike for the review. I will be picking up my Kenai camper in December, so this is a good heads-up. Chainsaw is a good tool to have, I am adding a winch on my truck... just in case...
Love the vlog style. Camper and storage bed looks like a great combo.
The realest review of any rig I’ve seen. Everyone sugar coats their reviews and bull shits them. Not Mike Glover. 😂 A really honest review/walkthrough. Thank you sir.
Mike glad to see you're enjoying the rig. Very nice
Hey Mike, thanks so much for showing us the portal into the hole...what? I mean into the roof top tent. 🤣🤣 On a serious note, love your honesty with the pros and cons.
I appreciate the very honest reviews on these products. Keep it up this is great content
Awesome cinematography an videography !! very enjoyable to watch
Rig looks great and vlog style just works. Looking forward to the load out video
Definitely like the Vlog style. Think most people would like to see more such content. Thanks
GoPro vlog is excellent. Super quick and very organic.
Love it, keep them going. Thanks for all the great info.
I kinda think the vlog style works and it is fine! Thanks for the walk around of your rig Mike!
The AV quality is great, sir! I'd love more of your vlogs in the great outdoors doing your thing!
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing. A quick temporary fix for your gray water outlet that’s dripping on your boxes would be a flexible “flap” of rubber, that you could wedge (or even tape for now) between the camper and the Bowen setup. Think a more flexible mud flap. Then you can protect your expensive truck bed from the funk, yet still access the boxes because it would just flip up out of the way. Then you’re also not having to hunt for adapters, and/or having to worry about getting them caught on a branch and ripping them off of the camper while on a trail or something. I enjoy your content brother, RLTW!!
I'll definitely follow this for tips and tricks.
I don't have enough money to buy and grade performance of anything.
I have to plan and plot everything out
Then adapt accordingly after a purchase.
And I agree
Chainsaw is very important
Not just for clearing paths but aiding heat and cooking wood fuel.
Keep it up bro. Thanks for your honesty.
Love the Vlog style mike, feels more personal and the A/V is good!
Good style of filming; enhances the 'personal' aspect of the videos.
Im watching this as im camping in my truck camper in the sierra mtns. Doing my fall fly fishing tour . I also installed a diesel heater , they work great 👍!! I have a older model Lance camper i have done some upgrades to and its really light weight . I like your storage bed , i always thought of using a utility truck bed with a camper . Ok thanks for the vid keep them coming ....adios for now 🐟🎣
Love the vlog Mike! Keep up the great content!
Video w gopro worked well. Thanks as always for sharing some cool info. Wish I could afford all of that.
Add another battery and alternator to
The truck and run the 110 into the the scout and into the solar generator and then upgrade your solar panels you could even run a 12volt dometic ac unit off grid if you do it right !!
Nice rig Mike,,,the AC addition is a MUST
Mike, look at doing a a Redarc manager that has a DC booster/charger plus solar controller attached to a lithium battery bank. You will never have to worry about power in that rig after that.
Dometic does make a 12v AC unit that you could place at the roof vent. As long as your solar/lithium setup is adequate it would power it, or get a small genset to assist
Dometic also does a rechargeable water tank and faucet, havent tried it myself but might be an upgrade from the lifesaver.
Rig looks great, hopefully it serves your family well on your adventures.
Pretty cool Mike! I had to make my own (on a budget). It expands out and up, all aluminum outer also. I did do a bunch of woodwork inside as I was a cabinetmaker after the Marine Corps. Hope to see you out here in AZ! Just look for the shiny, stealthy looking camper!
Love the honesty Mike!!
Definitely keep up the blogs. Audio and video quality is amazingly good for just a gopro and the content is good
haha man, as a former Alaska resident (I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright) I laughed at your pronunciation of Kenai
Love what you do! keep up the good work
Way cool vechile Mike. Looks like you got a great setup. Have fun and stay safe.
You are fantastic...LOVE LOVE THE HONESTY!
The video style works good for this content. I like the truck but I am interested to see the end product.
Love the blog idea! Short sweet and to the point! REAL!
Don’t stop, feels good. That didn’t sound right? Feels to me like a great addition to your platform, don’t stop! 😅
Nice to hear an honest review and not just someone saying how “it’s the best at everything”.
Keep making more Vlogs, product reviews and seeing it used in the field is great
Great info, Thanks Mike.
It's great to hear honest opinions like this. Some stuff is great, but when something isn't, it's good to hear someone admit it.
Great stuff as always Mike!
Yes Vlog is cool. Keep doing it. All your content is great. Thanks
Such an awesome setup. I’ve been looking at those Scouts and the Kimbo campers as well. I just got a katana boy 500mm folding saw for my rig. Not as efficient as a chainsaw but it’s lightweight, compact and doesn’t rely on fuel. I saw a guy build a backcountry cabin with one on the show Alone.
Loved the Vlog ❤ super funny when you were showing the gray water running down the side of the truck 😂.
Those latches are common, a company called Sierra Pacific sells other options but I’m sure Grangers and McMaster-Carr have options also. Could add a lock to the middle so all you have to do is unlock once and then operate the latches. Have a fabricator put in a single lock per side that acts as a bolt that you have to unlock lift and pull to unlock the all of the doors in a row.
Thank you for your service brother
Quick question how do you claim your prize if you win
Mike for the goal zero yeti they make a module called the link that goes into the top of the goal zero then you can run a cable to the battery and it will charge that in a couple hours while driving it.
I like these videos, can’t wait to see what you improve on your rig.
Good stuff, I liked the format.
Awesome walk through! I have a Scout Olympic. You can get an adapter for the Yeti 1500X that allows you to charge through the 7 Pin or hook directly to the truck battery and charge off the alternator. Also, check out Joolca hot water on demand shower/sink. Way better than the Rinse Kit in my opinion and would be awesome for your set up. I'm excited to see your add-ons and mounting setups in the future.
Pronounced "Keen-eye", I grew up there. Great vid, I've had my eye on this camper for awhile.
Great video and really cool bugout rig, was thinking that you may want to get a Lav mic on top of a camera mounted mic (or the mic that is built into the phone if you were using a phone) so while editing you have 2 choices in audio incase the wind picks up or something interferes related to sound. It would be really awesome if you did a road trip vlog series where you travel across the US and take us along while you also teach cool survival and fieldcraft tips. Maybe even an outdoors live stream Q&A would be really entertaining.
Finally! Someone being honest about their Lifesaver. I kept seeing “Oh it’s great!” then the same person saying it fails in x/y/z manner, but “it’s still great!”
Sponsorship money seems to replace integrity a lot with those folks.
You can contact highway products for a better bed storage system and locking storage boxes. They use same we use in trucking industry. Use a Lance 1062 camper package which includes a shower, toilet system and a much better system cheaper. Thats my two cents. "Happy wife happy life" plus kids
Don’t know if your rig has any room for other things but the Waterport is pretty handy also🤙🏽
Love the vlog variant. 10/10.
I like your honesty on the Scout because I'm thinking of buying one
Love your honesty. The things I was concerned about with that Yeti you covered perfectly. OMG the Life Saver, you are killing me. I keep coming back to the Scout and I keep leaving. I will be leaving permanaetely. Im going with the HAWK.
I like the vlog. Like the content. Look forward to seeing the load out video.
Awesome Mike, this style is great for the short videos. Your camera guy is gonna be pissed he isn't going to be camping as much 😂😂
Loving the vlog and all your content!
Cool rig. Check out some of the South-African and Aussie products to assist you in your upgrades inside. They have a lot of overlanding gadets.
Great review, I appreciate your honest feedback back. I wasn’t impressed with that camper, thanks for sharing.🤠
Yes Mike, the vlog works. Keep it simple
Love my Husqvarna 350 Chainsaw. Good for bucking up downed timber too, for firewood.
You’re a legend mike. Love this content.
Chainsaws are important in the backcountry. I’ve worked in several remote areas where outflows from storms have blown trees over blocking the only road out, especially in old burned out areas. Having a chainsaw with us allowed us the ability to easily deal with the situation. I think the worst day I dealt with this was in Central Idaho. A late afternoon thunderstorm knocked a bunch of widowmakers over. In the 20 miles to get out there were about a dozen foot plus diameter pine trees that we had to buck up to get our trucks and trailers out. Chainsaws, vital backwoods tool.
Alot of your cons are echoed by alot of cab over camper owners.
I opted for a lightly used 2020 fourwheel camper hawk flat bed model 85L fridge, flat top sink, flat top stove, two 6v batteries, one fantastic fan, outdoor shower. I work 4 days on and 3 days off. Those 4 days I spend in my camper. My job offers gym, shower, bathroom.
Wish the owner who ordered mine opted for the lithium batteries, dual solar, indoor bath and bathroom.
My set up is a ram 2012 3500 mega cab ( last year before def was introduced), 7' ute flatbed (super lightweight), hawk flat bed model, truck is on 35s x17" rims (so the spare fits in factory location),
Benefits to the pop top through FWC: they have been around since the 70s built for a rugged life. The masters of cab over camper world, fixed alot of the issues, 8.5' clearance on 35s with top down
Cons: pop up, price.
Obviously bias opinion. But definitely worth a look
I bet you could get a hawk slide in Grandby model with all the bells and whistles and I think you would like that more than the scout.
Great setup!
Every RV is a massive compromise, you can never have enough stuff to live, especially with kids, and keep the rig small enough to be able to easily move and keep it fueled. I have been considering the 4x4 "super C" RVs because they are big enough to live in for extended periods of time without having to build an external camp every stop and they can somewhat go places.
Great job mike!!! I like this style of vlog but also enjoy the more professional style of videos with your production team. Nice truck! I did notice you went with ford over ram after having the ram for a bit? I don’t care either or, just wanted to know if you had reasoning behind it? Thanks 🙏 in advance
This VLOG video is great and I love the fact that if the Baby is Ugly, you don't try to pretty it up!
Congratulations on your batman bugout rig brother. Pretty dope 😎 👌
Have you seen these new overland creatures they're building? 8x8 monsters that float and plow through the arctic.
Expensive but worthy.
Keep up the good work sir 👍
thanx for honest review
Love this rig! I've lost 2 houses to natural disasters 11 years apart the first being hurricane Katrina, The last 6 years I've been slowly setting up my truck for high water and being able to camp basically a overland rig but this thing is badass. (The Step Brothers scene comes to mind "Did we just become best friends- Yep") 😂 😂
They have plenty of HVAC systems for campers. I recently installed a mini split hvac system on an enclosed trailer my friend converted to a camper/toy hauler. He loves it.
Just to clarify the mini split system runs off 100% electricity
Yeah do some build videos would love seeing it
I cant wait to take some of your classes when im stateside. Hopefully, im able to.
This style of video is good. I had to bail on my Scout down payment. I’m experimenting with slide in camper on Lightning and need pop up for aerodynamic! Your old buddy Shodeen’s gonna test drive it soon!
Hi Mike. Yes, please continue to vlog. I agree it's simple and you have more flexibility. Thank you!
Great video Mike, keep up the gopro style
Brother I thought to myself "what are those wheels?!?!" You retained yourself on minute 3:30 Lol. Thank you for allowing me to join American Contingency. Keep leading us.
Cool setup! Beautiful location 😍
Thank you for the honesty about Scout. I've been looking for a truck bed camper and I've seen three videos about scout all not impressive. Definitely not getting a scout!
With the Yeti 1500x they make a charge from alternator connector so your 1500x will charge will the engine is running. Might help some.
Kee-ny, almost like saying Keen-eye. I lived on the Kenai peninsula it’s a stunning place.
Mike for the generator and for airconditioner problem i recommend the company ecoflow
good generators that you could live off grid with good panels
and they sell a small air conditioner that is suited for these generators or for people that live the van life type thing i have it myself and its frozen cold and has a setting that switches from ac to fan and you could power it with the electrical generator and lasts around 8-10 hours till recharge
i hope this info helps you in some way stay strong brother 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Should be able to set it up so u can charge the GoalZero with the truck alternator while driving. 🤔
There are 12DC air conditioners out now, Dometic makes one, but u will need a lot more DC power. Will need a sizeable battery bank.
Appreciate this🤙
