    Ah Brian, don't you know that it's a law of nature that when there's a big pup sharing a small space with you that your bed is their bed and often times you become the bed? I'm surprised your crocks didn't float away. Does fender = shoe-shelf?
    I just got back from a few days in the Eastern Sierras. It was hitting the high teens and low 20's evening to morning and we had a fire ban and like an idiot I misjudged the weather and left the really warm clothes behind. Probably not too bad for you but for us Southwestern dwellers where almost every day is >90 that's a bit chilly. Point being, I appreciated having my little wagon to hunker down in, me, wife and not so big dog. I'm borrowing your thermos idea. No more flipping a coin for who's going out to make coffee when it's 17! I have the FB and my wife likes to hunker down in there way more than me and now you got me wondering if I can emulate that futon-like setup for her.
    Looking at your overhead cabinet in this video I may have a small but useful tip for you. I also use soft baskets in ours and to keep them in place I just strung up some stretchy paracord across the front, half way up. I used wood screws and washers installed from behind the cabinet face for anchor points. It's inexpensive, easy to do, easy to replace, looks clean I think and even over rough fire roads nothing falls out.

    • @DIYOutdoorLife
      @DIYOutdoorLife 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's like gravity! She's too much!
      You should have no problem flipping the bed in the FB, it takes an extra minute to store the mattress topper in your car if you're using one. Pillows will sub for the back rest.
      I had the same idea for the soft baskets but they never fall down! Now that I said this, I'm probably doomed. I was waiting to see if they tossed on the rough roads but so far they hold fast... I will definitely go the same way as you if they start falling. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Happy birthday Brian. I've been in situations like this before, raining for around 14 hours straight, some hard rain and some steady. I'm with you, I like these weather surprises as long as you can stay safe, warm and dry, I'm in for the adventure. In my weather experiences I've not been so close to a river as you did. I'm usually way up hill. I camp in a Geo Pro 12SRK (kinda teardrop like) with an awning and I like sitting outside while it rains. Something about the fresh smell of rain that's just pleasant. The running of the furnace and propping the top vent open is alway smart. I did pick up on your tip to pre-make hot meals that can be put in a wide mouth thermos, I'll do that next time. Thanks for sharing the video. Take care.

    Hi Brian and happy birthday! Your teardrop is great to get into places that other campers cannot, plus a car can pull it. We are able to " bushwack" pretty well with our 15FK. Our 2022 model is raised and has off road tires. That said we are in our 70s and prefer to be a tad more comfortable. A teardrop for every occasion! We just could not beat the price for what we wanted to do. No frills, but we added our own bells and whistles. Very pleased and I am happy to see you enjoying your teardrop in all kinds of 💦💦 weather! ~ Diane

The price literally changes by the day, but the lowest price when I checked last week was $10,500.
      Generally speaking, the best prices have always been on the east coast, so check out some places in Florida. The northeast seems to be where people still find new trailers below 11k. When I get back in civilization I will have better information.

    What has been your experience cooking in your Bushwhacker in the pouring rain? I have a 2021 Free solo and noticed if the rear clam shell hatch is up and it's raining cats and dogs, water can pour in both sides while cooking. Because it has no extended down spouts on either side, water can easily run off the back side of your camper and into your kitchen. I live in Southern California, and don't experience much weather in these parts, but I do like to head up to the high Sierra where at 9 or 10,000 feet, a heavy downpour can happen at anytime. Have you made any modifications to your Bushwhacker to help solve the potential disaster while cooking in the rain? Thanks!

    • @DIYOutdoorLife

      I get into that in this video and others, the hurricane hinge design is frustrating. Depending on the conditions we’re in, I use a canopy over the galley. That works well. A lot of times I also set up a small backpacker kitchen if it’s raining a lot. In this really bad storm,
      I cooked my food in advanced and put it in thermoses to eat inside the Bushwhacker😜
      I have spoken with some who have extended the hurricane hinge. Some went all out and replaced, while others used plastic drip edge and even gorilla tape. I really wish BC would fix this design!

We pack the truck cab and put waterproof tubs in the truck bed. We keep the bed down, but bought a 10x10 canopy and and a 10x10 EZ UP tent for a screen house or guests.

I did have a chance to look at that model and it was nice, there’s nothing like having standing headroom, a kitchen and a wet bath in your small trailer. One of my prerequisites was to have it fit in my garage, the 15FK wouldn’t do it for me. I’ve had my Free Solo OG for a year now, and it love it, the outdoor kitchen so far hasn’t been a problem with rain coming it. I live in San Diego so we don’t see much rain and I keep the Free Solo in the garage, so it hasn’t gotten very wet, except for the few times I’ve washed it after a camping trip. I head up to Kennedy Meadows in the Sierra mountains next week, there’s always a chance that an afternoon shower could happen up there, I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that the heavy stuff won’t happen while preparing my meals. Good luck with your 15FK Diane!

    I'm wondering is that really a cloth rug that you have underneath your pop up shelter?

      Nooo… that would be bad. It’s one of those woven plastic mats

      @@DIYOutdoorLife I thought it would be odd to have a real cloth rug. But it sure looks like cloth. Is that off of amazon?

      Yes, it was made to fit inside a standard garage door opening and fits in mine with room to spare. Check out my other videos and subscribe to see more!

    Think I like my FD more. I get more room.

      Absolutely, there's something to be said about both. There are days that the extra room would be nice, and there's days that I like the simplicity of the smaller rig.
