Came to your channel looking into a Buddy Heater for a Gazelle tent. When you pulled out the Bible you gained a subscriber. Great video, brother. Blessings in your adventures!
the Bible makes everything better! Thanks for watching! I love using a buddy heater in the winter, I have several videos where I use it. I am looking forward to some winter again! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Hi Matt, Just ran into your channel. Had a great time watching your adventure and am putting together the gear to join in the fun soon. I like that you include us in your morning devotional. Have a blessed day!
Ground tents are the only way to go, we were camping in the desert in State campground, next to us on each side the two campers took their tents out in the desert away from the campground, some others down the way were stuck with Top Heavy Tents, they were stuck next to the road and traffic
Found your video looking for reviews of the gazelle in cold temps. I'm going with a bunch of friends next week. We are expecting a high of 3 degrees and I'll be bringing 3 buddy heaters and my diesel heater. Hoping my gazelle will hold up to that. Thanks for the video and God Bless you!
Kevin: You should only need 1 buddy heater for 3F. but if you do not have a good sleeping bag then you may want to use two. But I have used it down to 16 degrees with one buddy heater. I normally run the buddy on low and when I put it on high it improves another 5-10 degrees in the tent. Not sure if you are going to connect then to larger propane tank or use the one pounders. But if you use the one pounders, I am getting four hours on low and two hours on high. FYI. Enjoy!!
@rubiconmatt I do have a -30 bag but usually sleep best when my environment is about 60-65 and sleep outside the bag. Always leaves me the opportunity to zip it up and be just fine in that extreme in case the heaters fail on me.
Coincidence. I stayed at campsite 21 last May on a Sunday night and was alone in that section as well since it is non electric. A Cardinal pair did come in close and take some peanuts. I always enjoy your videos when you break from camp and explore/overland.
Wow, That is cool about the cardinals and surprised in May you were still alone. I will keep checking that place out. I actually went back when it snowed right after Christmas and am putting that video together now and found some cool other dispersed sites while overloading.
It is amazing how the Ohio state parks clear out Sunday afternoon, especially the non~electric sites. I take a few Mondays off each April and May and most often I am the only one there. Burr oak SP is nice as that section is mostly, if not all, non electric. I don’t consider the nearby burr oak national park campground I have seen in your early videos because it has road noise and hardly any flat spots for my RTT. The spot you picked in this video is awesome. The dispersed site you found while Overlanding does intrigue me, I would just have to stay at the pull off with my RTT. Keep up the exploring!
Hi Matt, my family and I enjoy your videos! We’re in Ohio as well, Dayton area and are into overlanding and camping, it would be fun to meet up with you and do some camping/overlanding. Have a blessed day brother
Brandon: I have to admit, some of my videos I show exactly where I am at on the Gai GPS map and others I do not. For instance the dispersed camping I found on this trip, I did not share because I want to camp there a lot! :-) But if you explore and use Gai GPS app, you can head out and find there areas. But if you want some areas, I recommend look up Wild Cat Hollow Trail head (in Wayne national forest). And then start driving around the trails in that area and keep going and you will find similar experiences. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking the time to film and edit your trip. Just curious, I respect sticking with the flint and steel, but I assume it is an intentional choice not to use a lighter?
It is a one pound propane tank that screws on the side. You can buy the tanks at Walmart and any kinda outdoor place. It takes two tanks to get through the night as an example. Thanks for watching,
They last about 4 hours on the low setting, which keeps my tent at 45 degrees normally when it is in the 30's outside. I have never used the high setting except for when you start it up.
Hey Matt, does your wife camp? My wife and I would love to do a camp trip, I have several friends that would join along as well. We live in Southeast Ohio and know a ton of great camping spots. It would be fun to meet you and some other followers. Meet and greet with overland Matt..
Unfortunately my wife does not camp. She did once and found out it is not her thing 😃. Send me an email at matt@rubiconmatt.com. I want to see if you are interested in an event coming soon.
It is called the outback jeep drop down tailgate table. There are other brands as well. Here is one on amazon:amzn.to/3keUc8M. The Outback brand costs +$350 now. I bought mine in 2019.
Great question, Yes, I have been at a trail head and was the only one there and had a pick-up truck pull in and start asking me questions. I had lots of lights in their faces, and talked in a strong manner to demonstrate I was not afraid. Another time someone drove up to my site and I did the same thing. I always have a game plan and practice so if a person came that had evil intent I would be ready. I will never know if these people that stopped by did or did not have an evil plan, but I made it as uncomfortable for them so they would see I would not be a good target. Plus we have the Holy Spirit!! Lots of Power!!
@@mtnbkmaniac I’ve been tent camping for 40+ years mostly solo, I’m a 65 year old woman. So far I’ve never had an issue. I’ve camped all over the Sierras in California, the desert, Utah, Arizona and Colorado, I do paid campground or dry camping. I still camp, in fact I’m getting ready to go in a couple of weeks by myself with my dogs.
I just bought a similar tent, but in green. Thanks for reading that scripture to us all. It is so true about trying to live and deal with the evil that has been running our country for the past 4 years. Thank God President Trump won and hopefully this will bring an end to all the evil, woke, debauchery that has plagued our society. God is Good and Jesus Christ loves us and has our backs.😊 I plan to do some similar camping here in Arkansas and really look forward to using this tent. Cheers!
Enjoy the tent!!! I am going to release a couple videos over the next several days. I drove to SC to visit my dad and had to pack for that visit as well as camping so I took my more compact tent. It worked well the on the way down, but wait and see what happens when I head home and camp in WV. I wish I had my Gazelle! God Bless!
I sent you a message to your email a long time ago about camping together. I am doing Mohican with my grandson in Feb right on the river if you want to camp
Will you be using your hot tent! That looks nice. I will see what my schedule is, I have another camping trip scheduled right now. Plus I want to do a group camp possibly if things work out. Enjoy! Thanks for watching!

The Cardinal was checking out your cup to make sure it wasn’t another cardinal looks very similar in the Cardinals very interested in the cup
I never thought of that! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching!

Great Video! I have a Rubicon and a Gazelle T4 Plus Overland Edition Tent. Great tents
Where do you go camping/overlanding? Those tents do great in bad weather!
@@rubiconmatt normally Mount Laguna or Ocotillo here in Southern California
Great video Matt. You always have a great spot with gorgeous scenery.
Dennis; Thanks for watching!
Awsome camping. If you ever want to go to colorado or grand tetons im in kansas that where we go every summer. God bless and happy camping.
That is a dream of mine to head west sometime for sure!! Thanks for the offer!! Thanks for watching!

Hi Matt really enjoyed the video. What was the meal you made? Looked delicious!
It was pork loin chops, cilantro rice and Lima beans. Thanks for watching!!
I live near Lancaster, would love to do some southern Ohio overlanding. Can you drop a pin or something so we can find these trails as well?

Mark - it is more of a challenge and learning for me to start a fire using the steel and fat wood. Thanks for watching!
What is the Buddy heater connected to that will make it operational. I don’t see an input source. Thank you, I don’t have one and I just don’t know 😮
It is a one pound propane tank that screws on the side. You can buy the tanks at Walmart and any kinda outdoor place. It takes two tanks to get through the night as an example. Thanks for watching,
Thank you. It’s also good to know how many tanks per night.
They last about 4 hours on the low setting, which keeps my tent at 45 degrees normally when it is in the 30's outside. I have never used the high setting except for when you start it up.
That’s a nice place to camp we camp there a lot
Thanks for watching! I like burr oak cove as well!
Matt, how do we get I. Touch with you? We live in the Hocking Hills and love winter camping. Let me know how to get in touch with you.

no comment :-)
Where did you get your tailgate table and doe's it have a slide out wooden table.

Have you ever had any issues with people messing around your camp sites when you done these over nights
