Thanks for sharing the videos. Funny story about the dreams you have. The first time i went out solo camping here in PA. I was in my brand new RTT and I had put a small motion light out side by the ladder. I had a tough time falling to sleep that time but a few hours after I did, I dreamt the light was on. It was like in a movie when someone is trying to wake themselves up before being murdered. I remember dreaming, "the light is on, the light is on". Then I woke up saying, "The light is on"!?! It wasn't. hahaha. Oh well, keep up the work.
Hahahhaha, that’s awesome! I can picture exactly what you are talking about. So funny. Ya, those lucid dreams are a real trip!! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I don't have the dreams, but I had an experience where a vehicle pulled up around 12 am while I was asleep.They parked about 3' away with the headlights pointed directly at the passenger side of the Jeep ( the side I sleep on)....then they started blowing the horn. Not knowing who or how many of them there were, I just stayed put. Eventually the vehicle parked a few feet away. As I listened for anything indicating someone was getting close, I layed quietly in the dark, hoping I wouldn't have to use my hastily improvised instrument of defence. After about 20 minutes, a second vehicle pulled up the same as the first, headlights in my side windows and blowing the horn. At this point I knew that it was at least two against one. For a time, my first thought to myself was, "so this is how it ends".....second thought was "well, I'm not going quietly !" ...after a few minutes, the second vehicle parked, someone got out of one vehicle, got into the other, and all was quiet until they all left about 3 hours later. It turns out, as near as I can tell, it was just locals and I was in "their spot". Didn't sleep much that night.
WOW, ya, that sounds scary! I’m not sure what I would have done!! I have some things in my vehicle that are definitely meant for self defense. My main fear would be that I use them in a situation like that - when there is not really a real threat. But when you’re alone and isolated - you can either fight or flight. If you can’t easily get out of there (i.e. boxed in) then flight isn’t easy. So glad you were safe! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I've been solo camping a lot and I really love it. I just recently purchased my first travel trailer. I came across your channel and found it very informative. There are a lot of things I have never thought of getting. Now I know I've been missing some wonderful items with me on my camping adventures. I'm hoping to start a TH-cam to document my camping adventures just for myself. To look back on how I've come along in this adventure in my life.
That is awesome! I am so glad that some of my videos helped! You should absolutely start a TH-cam channel! When I started mine, my whole thought process was videos that I could look back on. That is key. If you make them in the way that you enjoy watching them, then the satisfaction comes from knowing that other people like them too! You don’t need any fancy gear to start a TH-cam channel. I do all my filming and editing on my iPhone. Thank you for watching, and for the comment!😄😄
Thanks for sharing this video and your first solo camp adventure. You're not alone with those dreams, lol. Sometimes, I get paranoid when I'm alone in the woods, and I have to completely stop breathing when I'm inside my tent to make sure I can hear exactly what or who is walking near my tent. Every time that's happened, it's been an animal, but I always carry and keep my protection with me even in my sleep lol. Luckily, there hasn't been a need for it.
Ya buddy, same here. I’m always ‘prepared’ if something really goes sideways. Don’t ever want that to happen though! Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it more than you know! 👏🏼👊🏼🙌🏼💯😄
Great video Greg, as you know I am a big Fire Maple fan! Love their products, very good quality for the price. Great video, someone is going to win a nice camp stove! 👍
There’s something special about snow camping. It’s freezing - but being out in such an extreme element brings a sense of accomplishment (doing something that not many others will ever do)..! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Great video🤙 I’ve had those crazy dream too😂 My wife and I were camping in Oregon and I heard a car pull up and stop. Then we heard walking behind the rig we listened to it for a while then I opened the rear tent door and there was nothing there. I got out and looked around and there was nothing. The next morning there was a hand print that didn’t match mine or my wife’s hand on the back hatch glass of the Alu-Cab. Pretty crazy to say the least.
Woah!! 😳 that is spooky!! 👻 ya, so far all of mine were dreams. The worst one was that the Jeep was at the bottom of a lake, and I was in it. There was air inside for me to breathe, but I could not figure out a good way to get out and swim to the surface. Fortunately, I woke up. thank you for watching and for the comment. I appreciate it! 😄👏🏼🙌🏼👊🏼
Excited for the next chapter. I remember when my Tacoma was stock. It has changed a lot the past 1.5 years! Keep up the adventures and thanks for sharing👍🏼
I started putting a trail cam outside my ground tent, backpacking. I was gobsmacked at the wildlife visits. Some of which woke me up, I remember thinking, “that wasn’t exactly human, was it?”. Next morning I realized there were a number of “game trails” in the soft decomposing litter of the forest floor in fall. It was a horrible nights sleep, if you must know. But a delicious memory to savor.
A trail cam is a great idea for sure! I might add that to the rig at some point. Thank you for watching and for your comment! 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it! 😀
Thank you so much, ya, I’d never used their products before, but it is really quality stuff! And I think because they tend to cater to backpacking and hiking, their stuff is compact and lightweight. 😃
Glad to hear you enjoyed a solo trip! I could never do it in the snow. Always ran a buddy system that had all the safety gear. Loved the overview of the fridge, cookware, and the bedjet!
Hey trailnewbie, recently subscribed to your excellent channel!…I solo camp inside my 2017 jku wrangler and absolutely love the freedom and ease of camping. Keep posting and I will definitely keep watching.
Thank you so much for your kind words! So awesome to hear from other people who are getting out there in a similar way! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Ah, you’re too kind! I just love being organized, so I’m not searching for stuff. Knowing where everything is really makes camp life less stressful. Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
My 1991 GMC Suburban may have had a hard time...I don't know, Baby was a beast! If I could remember the specs on her wheels, tires, suspension, and motor, I would brag! She also had a 6" lift...I miss her! She was a big girl, though! 😁 That's a solid looking stove!
That sounds awesome! A suburban is a very capable rig, but the weight is the only issue. Yes, the Fire Maple Saturn Stove is awesome! Highly recommend! Cheers! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Thank you so much, ya, the items I present are always part of my setup. That being said, I do tend to cycle through items so that I can cover a broad group of gear to present to the audience. So some items might only be on my rig for part of a year or something to that effect. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it! 😊
Enjoyed the video and the scenery was beautiful. I haven't done much winter camping here in Southern Oregon but you have inspired me to get out there and do it. Looking forward to the changes to your rig.
Right on! Ya, winter camping is so serene! I just love it! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! Speaking of Southern Oregon - I’ll be there in Bend for Overland Expo Pacific Northwest! 🤩🤩😄🙌🏼👏🏼💯
I think it crosses the border line! 🤣🤣 Ya, I have had this Bed Jet for a long time, and always wanted to try it out! It was awesome!! 🤩 thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
Great video, I will pass on the drawing but only because I don’t do any overlanding camping. I’m looking forward to the next one already! Slick stove setup. 🤙🏻😎
Coming from a fellow Ursa Minor owner [JL158], wait until you're out solo and have one of those "lucid dreams" while cocooned between the soft-sided walls of the UM. 😬 Great video...oh, and two thumbs up for the Fire Maple gear.
Right on! Ya, I’m super excited to get the UM out there! And, at the same time, a little nervous!!! 😬 I’ve always slept with hard walls, now with canvas I’m hoping I’ll love the UM. I don’t see why I wouldn’t, but I’m sure it will take some getting used to for me. Thank you for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!
Hey Greg, it was nice seeing you out on Rock Creek Rd. That group of us made it to the summit but not without some help for everyone (except the power wagon and maybe one Bronco). Bald is definitely my favorite local spot.
Yoooooo! Thanks for reaching out!! Yes, that was an epic day out there for you guys I’m sure! 🙌🏼👏🏼 Hey, if you have Instagram can you message me there? I want to get your address so I can get you a hat and patch! 👊🏼😄 Let me know! 🙌🏼 So glad you saw the video!!
AHAHAH, I know. While I try to keep everything a contained inside the Jeep, there is still a ton of gear that makes my trips definitely not roughing it. Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Oh man!! Ya, our seasons are flip flopped right? It’s cold here. Winter camping is so fun - no bugs!! 😄😄👏🏼💯 Thank you for watching and for the comment! 🙂
I’ve looked at Jeeps for years as a means to an end. I’m a landscape photographer and want to get further off the pavement than our current MINI Coopers allow with their low clearance. They’re fun vehicles and I won’t get rid of them, just need a supplemental vehicle… You’ve a very neat, well organized rig. Perhaps it’s time to start looking at Jeeps once more.
Well, one thing I can say for sure - you will not be disappointed with a Wrangler. If you are price conscious, I think the best option for the money is a Wrangler Willys Sport S. That will get you anywhere! Already will have good tires, and a limited slip differential. Definitely something to look into. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! Cheers! 😃
It's amazing - all done with an iPhone and a drone! The technology just keeps getting better! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I would love to see the Bed Jet function and your thoughts in the heat. I’m in Arizona 🌵🌞 and can have cold nights in the mountains to extreme heat in the desert. Great video 👍
I know right! They are so good! I’ve been wanting to take it out on an Overlanding trip for so long, but I just never got around to it until this one! It was totally amazing! I do have a diesel heater, but something tells me the bed jet will be making appearances from time to time as well. It could actually be really nice during warm weather camping as well to move some cool air through a sleeping bag! Thank you for watching, and for the comment!
Great video. I have the same jeep and I sleep in mine often. Great setup. I winter camp in mine often without a heater. I’ve dialed in my set up so it works for me but that bedjet is very interesting. 🤙
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching! Yes, the bed jet was really nice that evening, with the only drawback being that it requires a good amount of electricity! ⚡️
Once again, another great video! That stove and grill are fantastic, not to mention the heater. That would have come in handy while tent camping at the tree line on Mt. Rainier this past spring. I enjoy all your videos, and of course, I went to your website and entered for a chance to win! Thank you again.
Awesome! Thank you Tim! I sent you an email from trailnewbie@yahoo.com. Let me know if it came through! You can also reach me direct there anytime! 😄😄👏🏼👊🏼🙌🏼
Congrats on bigger and better things! Also congrats on your first hello from Bigfoot! just remember campground rule, and positive vibes, failing his campsite inspection can lead to bad luck rock throwing and tree knocks! 😅 He does work as a park ranger overnights. Great video! The dreams are strangely fascinating! Talk to ya soon buddy!
Right on!! You too! We’re you with the crew that we met airing up near the crater? 😁😁🙌🏼👏🏼 It was fantastic to meet you all!! And whoever made the chicken salad sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls we owe a BIG THANKS to!! 😁🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼💯👊🏼
Really liking that stove and might look into getting one myself. I'll stick with cooking on my cast iron though as I'm not a fan of non-stick chemical stuff. I use a coleman 2 burner now and have been looking to downsize for a while. Have almost pulled the trigger on the Jetboil genesis but I can get past the price of them. Dinner looked delicious btw.
Yes, I am really impressed with the Saturn stove by Firemaple. It really pumps a nice amount of flame and is so compact. Call me weird, but I’m also a sucker for a good carrying case! HA! I do have the Jetboil Genesis as well. I was also very hesitant based on the price. I bit the bullet and went for it. It is a SOLID option as well. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It’s compact as well - how it folds into a clamshell shape. You won’t regret either, but depending on pricing and if you need two burners or one - they are both great to consider. If you buy something from Firemaple, there’s a discount code in the description. 😊 Thank you for the comment and for watching! 👏🏼
Yes! My Keto is in FULL FORCE right now! Probably going to stay this way permanently. I love it so much and it feels so good 😊!! Solo is fun for sure - I enjoyed it, but I think I like being out with a group more. 😄😄👏🏼👏🏼 thanks for watching and for the comment! 🙌🏼🤩
Great question! Those area actually Weather Tech. They are a little on the pricy side, but they are totally worth it! I got for all windows including the rear and windshield. Very worth it. I'd buy those again in a second. I don't have any affiliation with them - just an honest review here!
Enjoyed the video...so here's a solution to get rid of your jeep sleep nightmares. Spend a few nites in Montana in a tent in griz country...then the next time you sleep in the jeep you will sleep like a baby. haha. One night I woke to a commotion and found 5 deer attacking my bag of sunflower seeds I forgot out on the picnic table.
Dang!! Ya, only major ‘scary’ encounter I’ve had is a mountain lion about 20 yards away staring at me 👀 that got the blood pumping. Stay safe out there! 👏🏼😄🙌🏼👊🏼 🦁 🦌 🐻
Yep. I'm in Montana and had a bear pretty nuch right next to my dog and i. Didn't know it till it roared a roar i will never forget! It was awesome and scary at the same time. 😂
Hi 👋 no they are not magnetic, they are just slightly bigger than the window opening so they sort of pop in and hold there. They’re really amazing! They are from Weather Tech. 😊
Great question! Well, I actually don’t use any tie down. I do everything from washboard roads to moderate rock crawling. Rock crawling like a 6 or 7 out of 10, and I’ve never had a problem with them moving at all. I’ve been amazed! 🙌🏻 I’ve found that I sort of wedge some things next to them, and they really don’t seem to go anywhere. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! 😊
Thanks! And great question!! I got Weather Tech window shades for the entire Jeep. They are really good! Love them. One side is black and the other side is reflective. High quality. 😄🙏🏼😄🙌🏼
Thank you! I assume they also have the cover for the hard top windows? In case you are in search for another trail companion, let me know. I'm located in LA!
Hey just want to let you know I found your channel because it recommended one of my videos love your content great camera work awesome brother you're doing great awesome. Tony 2.0
Yes, sorry! The giveaway is over. I drew the winner last Saturday, which was two weeks after the video posted. Sorry! Thank you for watching though, and for the comments! Cheers! 😊
Funny when people get out in nature miles from anyone and first thing they do is set up A satellite dish. Yet it all started for me sleeping in the back of an XJ
I know right!?! The Starlink I bought about 10% for these adventures, and the other 90% is for the prepper in me that believes if the crap hits the fan - we'll need food, shelter, water and internet to know what's going on in the world. I wrestled with getting it, but ultimately decided it was an item that was a 'want' for those reasons. It is really nice to - at the end of an evening - drop a call back home or check maps, etc. But an unnecessary luxury indeed!
HAHAHAH, if you use the affiliate link I’ll personally drive to your home and deliver a piece of Velcro. I’ll even do the install for you Mark! AHAHHAHAHA 😂
Man this fridge would be a blessing. I'm trying to get out with my family more. With my wife and kid to get away from the problems of this world. I'm doing everything on a budget and unfortunately a fridge isn't in the budget. Tired of using a cooler and going into town to get more ice. #iceco
There’s nothing better than escaping the problems of the world in the great outdoors! Thanks for watching and for commenting! 😊 I really appreciate it! 🙌🏻🙏🏻👏🏻 I’ve entered you into the drawing! 😁
Interesting concept, however it seems like you would spend a lot of money just to heat one sleeping bag. Diesel heaters have the ability to heat an entire rooftop tent. I sleep solo in my 4Runner so I understand that it could be an option. BTW, that was me outside your rig…. I was just looking to see if you had a patch or hat to giveaway.
Ya, I’m also a diesel heater fan. I just had one built for the upcoming changes to my rig. It’s amazing!! 🤩 Hahahhaha! It was you out there!! I do sell hats and patches, but I don’t really advertise it. I sell the hats at cost of $25, and will put a patch in there too for you if you’re interested. It’s the same hat I’m wearing. 😄😄 All good either way if you’re interested. It’s a super comfortable hat that is flex fit and snap back. 😀😀😀🙌🏼👏🏼👊🏼
Hey Bill..! I do sell them but I don’t overly advertise that. If you’d like, email me at trailnewbie@yahoo.com. I sell hats for $25 and I’ll throw in a patch for ya! Hit me with an email - I’ll keep an eye out! 🙂👊🏼
your actually being tormented the enemy will come in your mind as you sleep try this I am being forreal tell the enemy God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love and of sound mind believe in what you say and it will stop
That’s a very interesting point. I’m a believer in Christ and as such I’ve done some research on this previously. I believe that ‘greater is He that is in you, than he who is in the world.’ Therefore, the devil cannot influence your thoughts or dreams directly. However, indirectly with the things we see, read, hear in the world can have a subconscious influence on our thought-life and dreams. Here is a really good video from Dr. John MacArthur who explains this really well.th-cam.com/video/p2N9ENRTRas/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZAEUEQNh7MFUKeL- One thing I’d also want to point out - is to not give the devil too much credit. He does not have the power of God to control your mind, actions or dreams. The devil is very limited in his abilities - and in many cases (as we read in the Bible), the devil has to ask God for permission to do something on the earth. 🌎 At the same time, there are demons and spirits in the world. While I don’t believe that I have personally had any encounter with one/them, indeed calling on the power and Lordship of Christ is the key! 🔑📖 Thank you for watching and for your comment! 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it! 😀
Sorry it rubbed you the wrong way. Not the intent to annoy the audience! 😅 There were definitely two product placements here that I was contracted to fulfill with ICECO and Firemaple. As this hobby (creating videos) has turned into an income generating source for me and my family, it definitely comes with some element of sales and recommendations of products. It’s a great reminder for me, as I look to future videos regarding how I can put more focus into the trip, with less direct emphasis on the products; making the overall feel of the video more enjoyable. Thank you for your comment and for watching! I’m always trying to improve! 😀👊🏼
Does that mean I should turn down a recent sponsorship by Flex Seal and Shamwow? Ha ha ha just kidding. Before you know it, I would be wearing one of those infomercial headset mics. I do appreciate the feedback! It means a lot!
AHAHAHAHA, ya I hear you! The coldest I’ve ever camped is 7 degrees Fahrenheit. I had no heater or anything, and I was sleeping in a 50 degree bag! It was miserable but awesome at the same time! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
🚨GEAR GIVEAWAY!! 🚨 UPDATE: the winner has been drawn and notified Crystal C. on IG. 🎉 Thank you to all who entered. More giveaways to come!

Thanks Mike!! Yes, really good gear! Can’t say enough about how impressed I’ve been.
The snow is just gorgeous.
There’s something special about snow camping. It’s freezing - but being out in such an extreme element brings a sense of accomplishment (doing something that not many others will ever do)..! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀

Ya buddy!! Looking forward to it 💯
Excited for the next chapter.
I remember when my Tacoma was stock.
It has changed a lot the past 1.5 years!
Keep up the adventures and thanks for sharing👍🏼
Thank you 🙏🏼 ya, I’m really excited as well. The new setup will be so cool..! Same Jeep, just new platform! 😄

Glad to hear you enjoyed a solo trip! I could never do it in the snow. Always ran a buddy system that had all the safety gear. Loved the overview of the fridge, cookware, and the bedjet!

Starlink...BedJet...Greg's out here camping in the 24th Century! Great video, man!
Hahahaha! Thanks buddy! Just wait till all this gets added to the Ursa Minor soon!! Thanks for watching - miss you bro! 👊🏼😄🙌🏼👏🏼
The broncos are my buddies I always go wheelin with Alec and Jeff

Great video!! Can't wait to see the reveal of the new setup.
Thank you so much! Yes, the new setup is going to be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yesssss! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 perhaps while wearing a Big Foot suit!! 😱😱😱 Thanks for watching and for the comment!! 👊🏼👏🏼😄🙌🏼
Great video! Really enjoyed it. It felt like being along for the ride.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and for the comment! It’s notes like this from viewers that keep me going!! 😄
That's borderline glamping!
I think it crosses the border line! 🤣🤣 Ya, I have had this Bed Jet for a long time, and always wanted to try it out! It was awesome!! 🤩 thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
Great video, I will pass on the drawing but only because I don’t do any overlanding camping. I’m looking forward to the next one already! Slick stove setup. 🤙🏻😎

Right on! Ya, I’m super excited to get the UM out there! And, at the same time, a little nervous!!! 😬 I’ve always slept with hard walls, now with canvas I’m hoping I’ll love the UM. I don’t see why I wouldn’t, but I’m sure it will take some getting used to for me. Thank you for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!
Hey Greg, it was nice seeing you out on Rock Creek Rd. That group of us made it to the summit but not without some help for everyone (except the power wagon and maybe one Bronco). Bald is definitely my favorite local spot.
Yoooooo! Thanks for reaching out!! Yes, that was an epic day out there for you guys I’m sure! 🙌🏼👏🏼 Hey, if you have Instagram can you message me there? I want to get your address so I can get you a hat and patch! 👊🏼😄 Let me know! 🙌🏼 So glad you saw the video!!
This is more stuff than I have in my home!
AHAHAH, I know. While I try to keep everything a contained inside the Jeep, there is still a ton of gear that makes my trips definitely not roughing it. Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Nice to c some cold snow, been over 40 degrees Celsius here last week in Western Australia
Oh man!! Ya, our seasons are flip flopped right? It’s cold here. Winter camping is so fun - no bugs!! 😄😄👏🏼💯 Thank you for watching and for the comment! 🙂
I need to get on that Starlink setup
Ya, it’s super convenient! Really love the backpack case. It’s compact, and really nice to have. 😄😄😄🤩🤩🤩
I’ve looked at Jeeps for years as a means to an end. I’m a landscape photographer and want to get further off the pavement than our current MINI Coopers allow with their low clearance. They’re fun vehicles and I won’t get rid of them, just need a supplemental vehicle…
You’ve a very neat, well organized rig. Perhaps it’s time to start looking at Jeeps once more.
Well, one thing I can say for sure - you will not be disappointed with a Wrangler. If you are price conscious, I think the best option for the money is a Wrangler Willys Sport S. That will get you anywhere! Already will have good tires, and a limited slip differential. Definitely something to look into. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! Cheers! 😃
Modern video imaging makes your surroundings look like a movie set.
It's amazing - all done with an iPhone and a drone! The technology just keeps getting better! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I would love to see the Bed Jet function and your thoughts in the heat. I’m in Arizona 🌵🌞 and can have cold nights in the mountains to extreme heat in the desert.
Great video 👍
Yes, me too! I intend to use it during the summer for sure. For camping that is hot, it should be a very good option to cool down your sleep setup. 😊
That bed jet is awesome, have two of them lol!!!!!
I know right! They are so good! I’ve been wanting to take it out on an Overlanding trip for so long, but I just never got around to it until this one! It was totally amazing! I do have a diesel heater, but something tells me the bed jet will be making appearances from time to time as well. It could actually be really nice during warm weather camping as well to move some cool air through a sleeping bag! Thank you for watching, and for the comment!
@@TrailNewbie I would have never thought about taking one camping until your video though, for cool or hear! Incredible idea lol
@@joshuawadsworth5050ya, it’s super lightweight too! Which is always a positive!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Great video. I have the same jeep and I sleep in mine often. Great setup. I winter camp in mine often without a heater. I’ve dialed in my set up so it works for me but that bedjet is very interesting. 🤙
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching! Yes, the bed jet was really nice that evening, with the only drawback being that it requires a good amount of electricity! ⚡️
im excited for what trailnewbie has in store for us viewers!!!👀🔥
Lesssssgoooooooo I think another BOSSLEVEL collab is in the works!! 👊🏼👊🏼
Great vid! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for the comment and for watching Joe! I really appreciate it! Some day I’ll get out your way and hit a trail with you! Cheers! 🥂 😃
Once again, another great video! That stove and grill are fantastic, not to mention the heater. That would have come in handy while tent camping at the tree line on Mt. Rainier this past spring. I enjoy all your videos, and of course, I went to your website and entered for a chance to win! Thank you again.
Awesome! Thank you Tim! I sent you an email from trailnewbie@yahoo.com. Let me know if it came through! You can also reach me direct there anytime! 😄😄👏🏼👊🏼🙌🏼
Got it, thx
Congrats on bigger and better things! Also congrats on your first hello from Bigfoot! just remember campground rule, and positive vibes, failing his campsite inspection can lead to bad luck rock throwing and tree knocks! 😅
He does work as a park ranger overnights.
Great video! The dreams are strangely fascinating!
Talk to ya soon buddy!
This made me LOL. Hahahah, thanks for the chuckle 💯 and for being a faithful subscriber! 👊🏼👊🏼😄😄
Was great meeting you and 395jnky in Death Valley.
Right on!! You too! We’re you with the crew that we met airing up near the crater? 😁😁🙌🏼👏🏼 It was fantastic to meet you all!! And whoever made the chicken salad sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls we owe a BIG THANKS to!! 😁🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼💯👊🏼
Man, I might need to change my setup...great stuff here!
Doc, your setup is 🔥 we’re all jealous of how much you can carry! It’s next level!
Really liking that stove and might look into getting one myself. I'll stick with cooking on my cast iron though as I'm not a fan of non-stick chemical stuff. I use a coleman 2 burner now and have been looking to downsize for a while. Have almost pulled the trigger on the Jetboil genesis but I can get past the price of them. Dinner looked delicious btw.
Yes, I am really impressed with the Saturn stove by Firemaple. It really pumps a nice amount of flame and is so compact. Call me weird, but I’m also a sucker for a good carrying case! HA! I do have the Jetboil Genesis as well. I was also very hesitant based on the price. I bit the bullet and went for it. It is a SOLID option as well. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It’s compact as well - how it folds into a clamshell shape. You won’t regret either, but depending on pricing and if you need two burners or one - they are both great to consider. If you buy something from Firemaple, there’s a discount code in the description. 😊 Thank you for the comment and for watching! 👏🏼
Good to see another keto overlander. How'd you like the soloing? I seem to do almost all my trips solo.
Yes! My Keto is in FULL FORCE right now! Probably going to stay this way permanently. I love it so much and it feels so good 😊!! Solo is fun for sure - I enjoyed it, but I think I like being out with a group more. 😄😄👏🏼👏🏼 thanks for watching and for the comment! 🙌🏼🤩
Looking forward to see those upgrades on your jeep.. where did you get those window insulated covers? I have been looking for something like that
Great question! Those area actually Weather Tech. They are a little on the pricy side, but they are totally worth it! I got for all windows including the rear and windshield. Very worth it. I'd buy those again in a second. I don't have any affiliation with them - just an honest review here!
@@TrailNewbie kool, Thank you
Enjoyed the video...so here's a solution to get rid of your jeep sleep nightmares. Spend a few nites in Montana in a tent in griz country...then the next time you sleep in the jeep you will sleep like a baby. haha. One night I woke to a commotion and found 5 deer attacking my bag of sunflower seeds I forgot out on the picnic table.
Dang!! Ya, only major ‘scary’ encounter I’ve had is a mountain lion about 20 yards away staring at me 👀 that got the blood pumping. Stay safe out there! 👏🏼😄🙌🏼👊🏼 🦁 🦌 🐻
Yep. I'm in Montana and had a bear pretty nuch right next to my dog and i. Didn't know it till it roared a roar i will never forget! It was awesome and scary at the same time. 😂
New follower here, front Puerto Rico 😃 Great video 👍
Awesome! Thank you for watching! WOW all the way from Puerto Rico! That’s so cool. It’s amazing how TH-cam can reach across the world! 😃
Awesome video.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄😄👊🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Bigfoot IS real. Great video sir!
💯 he’s real..! I do have a family member who swears 1,000% that he has seen him. And smelled him. 😳😳🤯🤯😱😱
Hey so the widow insulation are those magnetic? Where to get those. And how about the front windshield
Hi 👋 no they are not magnetic, they are just slightly bigger than the window opening so they sort of pop in and hold there. They’re really amazing! They are from Weather Tech. 😊
Chihuahua chasing a vacuum cleaner 😅😂
It totally did sound like that right?!?! 🐕💨
Great video thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks for watching! I always appreciate hearing from you! 👊🏼💯👏🏼😄✌🏼
That velcro tip is so money 😂
That Velcro tip took me to Overlanding god status! 👏🏼👏🏼🤩🤩🤣🤣🤣
What type of tie downs do you use for your battery, fridge and gear when off road so they don't move ?
Great question! Well, I actually don’t use any tie down. I do everything from washboard roads to moderate rock crawling. Rock crawling like a 6 or 7 out of 10, and I’ve never had a problem with them moving at all. I’ve been amazed! 🙌🏻 I’ve found that I sort of wedge some things next to them, and they really don’t seem to go anywhere. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing! What windows insulation do you use?
Thanks! And great question!! I got Weather Tech window shades for the entire Jeep. They are really good! Love them. One side is black and the other side is reflective. High quality. 😄🙏🏼😄🙌🏼
Thank you! I assume they also have the cover for the hard top windows?
In case you are in search for another trail companion, let me know. I'm located in LA!
Hey just want to let you know I found your channel because it recommended one of my videos love your content great camera work awesome brother you're doing great awesome. Tony 2.0
Thanks Tony! I really appreciate your kind words! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Great vid that stove is fire. Is the give away over. ?
Yes, sorry! The giveaway is over. I drew the winner last Saturday, which was two weeks after the video posted. Sorry! Thank you for watching though, and for the comments! Cheers! 😊
Funny when people get out in nature miles from anyone and first thing they do is set up A satellite dish. Yet it all started for me sleeping in the back of an XJ
I know right!?! The Starlink I bought about 10% for these adventures, and the other 90% is for the prepper in me that believes if the crap hits the fan - we'll need food, shelter, water and internet to know what's going on in the world. I wrestled with getting it, but ultimately decided it was an item that was a 'want' for those reasons. It is really nice to - at the end of an evening - drop a call back home or check maps, etc. But an unnecessary luxury indeed!
Awesome video 👍
Thanks so much Bill! I really appreciate you watching and for the comment!! 😄👊🏼👏🏼🙌🏼💯
Great video! 👍🏽
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment and you watching!! 😄😄
Does the Velcro come with the iceco affiliate link?? 👀😂
HAHAHAH, if you use the affiliate link I’ll personally drive to your home and deliver a piece of Velcro. I’ll even do the install for you Mark! AHAHHAHAHA 😂
Love your channel. I was curious, the gas Rotopax mounted to the side of your jeep, are they 1 gallon or 2 gallon ones?
Thanks so much! Those indeed are 2 gallon rotopax. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
@@TrailNewbie thank you, stay safe my friend
Man this fridge would be a blessing. I'm trying to get out with my family more. With my wife and kid to get away from the problems of this world. I'm doing everything on a budget and unfortunately a fridge isn't in the budget. Tired of using a cooler and going into town to get more ice. #iceco
There’s nothing better than escaping the problems of the world in the great outdoors! Thanks for watching and for commenting! 😊 I really appreciate it! 🙌🏻🙏🏻👏🏻 I’ve entered you into the drawing! 😁
Interesting concept, however it seems like you would spend a lot of money just to heat one sleeping bag. Diesel heaters have the ability to heat an entire rooftop tent. I sleep solo in my 4Runner so I understand that it could be an option. BTW, that was me outside your rig…. I was just looking to see if you had a patch or hat to giveaway.
Ya, I’m also a diesel heater fan. I just had one built for the upcoming changes to my rig. It’s amazing!! 🤩 Hahahhaha! It was you out there!! I do sell hats and patches, but I don’t really advertise it. I sell the hats at cost of $25, and will put a patch in there too for you if you’re interested. It’s the same hat I’m wearing. 😄😄
All good either way if you’re interested. It’s a super comfortable hat that is flex fit and snap back. 😀😀😀🙌🏼👏🏼👊🏼
Where can I buy a hat and patch?
Hey Bill..! I do sell them but I don’t overly advertise that. If you’d like, email me at trailnewbie@yahoo.com. I sell hats for $25 and I’ll throw in a patch for ya! Hit me with an email - I’ll keep an eye out! 🙂👊🏼
your actually being tormented the enemy will come in your mind as you sleep try this I am being forreal tell the enemy God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love and of sound mind believe in what you say and it will stop
That’s a very interesting point. I’m a believer in Christ and as such I’ve done some research on this previously. I believe that ‘greater is He that is in you, than he who is in the world.’ Therefore, the devil cannot influence your thoughts or dreams directly. However, indirectly with the things we see, read, hear in the world can have a subconscious influence on our thought-life and dreams. Here is a really good video from Dr. John MacArthur who explains this really well.th-cam.com/video/p2N9ENRTRas/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZAEUEQNh7MFUKeL- One thing I’d also want to point out - is to not give the devil too much credit. He does not have the power of God to control your mind, actions or dreams. The devil is very limited in his abilities - and in many cases (as we read in the Bible), the devil has to ask God for permission to do something on the earth. 🌎 At the same time, there are demons and spirits in the world. While I don’t believe that I have personally had any encounter with one/them, indeed calling on the power and Lordship of Christ is the key! 🔑📖 Thank you for watching and for your comment! 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it! 😀
You guys are all about selling stuff… very annoying….
Sorry it rubbed you the wrong way. Not the intent to annoy the audience! 😅 There were definitely two product placements here that I was contracted to fulfill with ICECO and Firemaple. As this hobby (creating videos) has turned into an income generating source for me and my family, it definitely comes with some element of sales and recommendations of products. It’s a great reminder for me, as I look to future videos regarding how I can put more focus into the trip, with less direct emphasis on the products; making the overall feel of the video more enjoyable. Thank you for your comment and for watching! I’m always trying to improve! 😀👊🏼
Agree your videos are turning into infomercials
Does that mean I should turn down a recent sponsorship by Flex Seal and Shamwow? Ha ha ha just kidding. Before you know it, I would be wearing one of those infomercial headset mics. I do appreciate the feedback! It means a lot!
Any temp below 50F is FREEZING to us down here in Alabama!
AHAHAHAHA, ya I hear you! The coldest I’ve ever camped is 7 degrees Fahrenheit. I had no heater or anything, and I was sleeping in a 50 degree bag! It was miserable but awesome at the same time! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I live in the Az mountains and 50 degrees at 6,000 ft…. mean shorts, and short sleeves if you’re near camp.
Great video.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 😄😄 Thank you for watching and for the comment! 🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😄
