#camping #solofemale
It's been a minute since my last video, thanks for being patient with me. Been going through a lot of life changes between moving, getting a new job and going through some personal issues. Buttt we're back and ready to do some winter camping this season. Hope everyone is doing well 💙
Love that you are back, was waiting on your videos 😍
Loving your videos!!! I really want to go and what you do!
New sub here! Love your vibes and camping style! Many Congratssss on the new truck. You both look GREAT!
I like your Videos, Felix from Zürich-Switzerland 😊
Hey Madison! missed your beautiful smile 😍. All the best for your new job. Keep posting 💕
Definitely be careful with those propane heaters. A good friend of mine died that way in her camper.
CO Sensor is a must.
Sorry for your loss.
As a female camping alone, it's good to sleep in the cab, so you can drive away from trouble if necessary. If you get a shell on the back of the truck, make sure you have windows that open on the shell and the truck so you can climb through. I'd also suggest putting down a window reflective cover under your mattress-pad to reflect heat, or a foam camp pad, and one more thin layer towards stopping heat loss underneath you. Happy camping!
Part of the charm of these videos is how genuine you are. You are good at a lot of things and always pushing your boundaries. You're not afraid to risk failure or to share things that don't go perfectly. And you keep learning. Thanks for everything you share.
Toyota Tundras have a power vertical rear window allowing you to crawl into the cab from a camper shell if you were to go that route.
You have the best personality on TH-cam.
the biggest car and no space ;P
You`re such a pure soul.
It is so cool that you do all this outdoor stuff. Thanks for the ideas.
Keep that truck! I have a Ram 1500 4x4 hemi 5.7 litre and those things are half ton tarantulas! It's gotten me out of some wicked situations. I have the same tires too BF Goodrich all terrains are the best!
Such exhilerating scenery. Thank you for sharing it with us! And congratulations on the new truck. You will be much safer in that on the rough back roads!
I took out my rear seat and back rest and it really opened up the space,I had a custom platform made and I love it, if you remove the passenger front seat you'll have even more room.
SUGGESTION Madison, you dont have to buy a huge topper, but at least get a basic shell or one you can sit up in at a minimum if you do. Sit up wout being hunched over. Other YTs ive seen that cant sit up are crammed and always laying on their sides struggling to cook, organize, film, etc.
If you dont do anything, you still may want to get a tarp or some system that gives you some cover when you leave your truck to get to your stuff, or sit under, etc, bc right now youre open to the elements once u leave your cab.
I know this is down the road, but if u plan to keep your truck, id get it undercoated in Canada. The salts and road ice melt chemicals will eat your truck alive.
Great vids as always and your signature is that you pack and go and make due with what you have. Fun to watch.
Be safe and good luck navigating your Life's bumps at the moment.
Sweet, I just set up my F-150 crew cab with basically the same setup. Used a seat extender (used for pets to sit/lay comfortably) for the back seats and put my bags under the hangover for extra support! Jackery Explorer 1000… Bougerv 28L fridge… tonneau cover… using military style duffel bags for temporary organization… eureka stove… nomad crate grill… purchased the window covers from Amazon (work amazing!)… and I got weathertech window deflectors for being able to keep my windows cracked (good buy!)…. It’s a start for me! Me and my golden - soon to be having our own adventures just like you 🤞
Loving your videos Madison. Your kind nature and positive spirt are infectious. Keep exploring!
I love that you mention the problems with sleeping in a the cab. That you can't crawl through the window and get to the drivers seat. This is the #1 reason I don't have a truck and only will use an SUV. Because I'm not 5'4". Haha.
It is always a good idea to be prepared for sleeping inside your vehicle in winter time. It happened to me one time that I had to sleep in my SUV during one winter night without heat insulation. I had to endure the cold and I learned my lesson. Be always prepared for anything outdoors and I think you’re doing a great job in your videos.
Omg, went through the exact same thought process that you did! At first I bought an inflatable mattress that is designed for the back seat of a truck. Did 2 trips with that and decided to buy a shell/truck cap or as I like to call it a “beanie” . I have never regretted my decision. Good luck in your travels!
@madisonclysdalee
I started following you recently after randomly coming across your video of hiking to the base of Everest. Now you are one of my favorite channels that I look forward weekly to watch. I find you very informative and extremely humble which is rare now days. Just wanted to give you a shoutout from the swamp of Louisiana!!
Thanks from the Netherlands! I really appreciate the positivity and freedom in your videos!
you could try one of those electric blankets when it's very cold. Put it in your sleeping bag and it will only draw a very small amount of power from your battery.
Happy Holidays! Have fun with the new truck, hopefully it will work out and serve its purpose well.
Yep. I did the same thing with an F 250 Crew Cab. The back seat is 6' so it was very comfortable. Good idea.
Madison,you have my admiration.Luck favors the brave and that is you.Looking forward to your winter hikes.👍
Another great video! Love the new truck. Can't wait to see how you build it out!
Love the new set up, I currently have the same setup with a truck and sleep in the back. I find that with the seat down and the memory foam on the seat there is much more storage under the seats for items. I also have my fridge behind my driver seat and use is as a prop for the mattress.
Great content, good luck with your new job etc. Merry Christmas and Happy New year 🎉 Facinated with the wildlife you have to watch out for in Canada 🇨🇦❤
i guess it makes more sense for you to get a bigger SUV if youre not going using the bed. maybe like a highlander or 4 runner instead of a truck
Always entertaining. Thanks! Just a little bit of info.( if you care,anyway :-) ) These electric knives with two serrated blades are ideal to cut through foam.They make a perfect, clean cut. Cheers!
Yay! Great set up for sussing out your needs ❤
I really like your videos. Just subscribed! You are adventuresome!
Cant wait to see how you adjust your truck set up to come!
Great content...I admire your passion for the outdoors and your determination in overcoming obstacles to do what you love....I would like to suggest a bedbug tray cover to protect your new pick up tray from scratches.....keep safe
Хорошая 'Бибика' у тебя, хорошо снаряжена.❤👍
Lovely winter video!
If you sell the Ram1500, get a Toyota Tacoma, that's what I have and it is great. I am 6'2 and can sleep in the 5'0 bed if I leave the tailgate down and sleep at an angle. Other option is sleeping in the backseat but my legs have to be bent quite a bit lol. However, I also do not have a dog. And the Tacoma has one of the most reliable engine you could get.
Love your videos! Stoked for the adventure
Hello Madison, I'm looking forward to see what you do with the truck. I camp with a Taco and snugtop. I didn't fully think through my intentions when I got the cap. I think now I would lean toward a pop up cap/shell - with a diesel heater. Keep well, and pets for your doggie.
Awesome! so glad for you . I have a 2021 Toyota Tundra double cab. I got a soft "roll up " tonneau cover. I cut out my 'stake pockets" along my bed rails and made a wood rack out of cedar 2x4's and lag bolts/carriage bolts, to carry my canoe! it work great and way cheaper than metal proprietary racks, and more versatile. I dont winter camp (yet). I'm a canoe camper at this point. but I fit all my hammock, tarp, fishing gear, cookware etc in my rig no problem. get 10ply tires for out back logging roads and you won't pop a tire! I got Goodyear Dura Trac and they have been worth the money! peace from New England USA and merry Christmas/ Happy NewYEAr !!!
Hi from New Zealand. Always like your video's. I trout fish here also and go hiking
Oh no you got rid of the Subaru. That’s the reason why I started to watch your videos. 😂.
Very cozy setup in the new rig 😎 Nothing quite as comforting as big kitty tracks in the snow!
Awesome video...thanks for sharing!
Yeah a jump box and air compressor for the tires plus some of those ramps for when you get stuck I forget what they’re called you can mount them on the side of the truck or on a roof rack just look up Toyota pre runners you’ll see what I’m talking about
Nice Truck Madison look forward to seeing what you may do with it next year 👍👍
Great hike and great video!
Hello Madison
Pleased to hear you are well and getting through your personal challenges!
Lovely vlog and the truck looks great with you and Kyra comfortably shoehorned into the rear - looks perfect for you both!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
I’m flying out to Bergen- Norway next Monday for 5 days so have my own little adventure starting.
Take care 😊xx
I just got a new Tacoma last year to take me out with my new hobby fly fishing. I’ve watched a couple of your videos this past week.
That’s it. This was the motivation I need to get out there and just do it.
That truck is great and is going to make your travels so much easier and more versatile. I have never had a camper on mine and never will because it's harder to get around and carry a car topper for fishing. A canopy is great but make sure there is fabric lining inside because of heavy condensation. Condensation can build up in your truck cab in and behind upholstery better to sleep in the box it's easier to air out and get dry. Diesel heaters work wonders in this regard. Have fun.
And that's what you mean by being ready!! What a great solution, and also enjoy the company and the warmth of Kyro 😀
Lovely to see Canada, and so beautiful to see it snowed 🥰
Have a wonderful time and always be extremely careful with carbon monoxide, for the rest... Keep enjoying and hope to see you soon Madison 🤗🥾🎣🏕️
Love your new turck on this video happy holidays
Yeah might wanna get the back camper thing for truck bed
Love these videos I always look forward to them🤍🎄
I love the new truck☺️
Congratulations on the new truck can wait to see what ya do...great video as always
Good job on setting up the truck. I enjoyed your video. Keep them coming!
I love the truck! It seems like you have more options now. Really cool! I think you look great in that truck! Congrats!!!
Hi Madison what a beautiful and wonderful scenery just love it ❤😊
Awesome truck! Looking forward to new videos!
NICE TO see ya...again Madison 😃
Found your video while I was looking for some tips and hints on fishing and now we both haven’t caught a fish yet :) Love how entertaining and informational your videos are!!
Mr Buddies are totally safe inside as long as you follow the manufacturers directions. In a small space you would only need low heat. So glad you are back! I trust youve seen what Mav did in the back of his pickup.
Thank you for sharing !
Top vlog !
Absolutely beautiful place to live. Nice truck. Hope you like the new job.
Great video. Very brave with the mountain lions and bears.
I camped in the sierra nevadas and they were there. 👍
Awesome! I love the winter hikes. Especially since I have a warm blanket and a cup of coffee 😂. Isn’t it about time for the ice roads to open? 🥶
going to miss the Scooby Outback - as someone from the UK, that truck look huge!!
Thanks for such fun, uplifting content!! I went through the same thought process about matching pickups with campers. I ended up buying a F-250 4x4, and I put a nice topper on it. I am so happy and have no regrets for not buying the camper. A wise friend advised me by saying, that it is an upward process and if you buy a camper, you will never go back down to buying a topper. You can always go up to a camper, if you want. Another friend just yesterday told me that she camps in the summer, in the back of her pickup, under her Tonneau cover.
Happy New year great video Great channel 😊
Mate , nice to see you again . I was asking for longer videos and you disappeared , from now on I won't ask for longer videos again : )
I love the new truck my friend.. I have a 2011 Ram 2500 crew cab... I'm hoping to upgrade to a newer Ram at some point but, this will be my camping rig starting 2024 😁😁
That’s a badass truck awesome congratulations 🎉👏🏻🥹😊 Madison !!
Cool new setup!
Great choice nice truck
Great vid as ever and lovely to see the Canadian winter from here in the Australian summer. Suggest a roof bar, tray bar and roof top fold out tent might be a good way forward to think about? Keep having fun and making the content. Thank you.
I think she's still in an apt, and getting all that into underground parking is a challenge
I was thinking of one of those roof top tents too. A bit more leery with bears. 😂 we don’t have them here in Australia.
That pup loves you so much, just look how he looks at you
I'm truly delighted to be a subscriber of your channel. Your videos stand out for their informative nature, authenticity, and realism. Previously, the thought of spending a night in a vehicle was far from appealing to me, but recently, I've found myself increasingly confident and eager to try it. Thank you immensely for your efforts. I earnestly request you to continue producing such valuable content for your viewers. Rest assured, I'll make every effort to share your work with as many friends and family members as possible. 😊
really have enjoyed the videos I've watched, there's a peacefulness about them.
I just subscribed and can't wait to see your next adventure! Be safe and Happy Holidays!
Thanks for bringing us along 👍🏻😁👍🏻❣️
I would look into the decked drawer system it will help tremendously with organizing and securing your gear.
Love the way your are with your dog :)
She takes great care of the guy!
Congrats on the new ride.
This video really does motivate me
Cool, you were in my town for the mountain hike :) The blood is from coyote mating season, they use it to attract suitors.
Good to know, thanks for that 👍
There’s a measure of comfort and safety sleeping in the truck 👍
Nice ! I have a similar set up ,
Took the passengers seat out and all my back seats.
That's the way to go. Those seats that aren't being used take up a huge amount of valuable space. I bought a new car recently and drove it straight home and started taking out all that stuff. It made a huge pile.
Very nice truck, wow the truck handled the snow with no problem 👍
Love your new turck
Don't be insulted or anything, I do listen to your videos with full attention, but they are also the best background to other activities, like doing the dishes and stuff. You voice is calming, soothing even. Thanks for that.
I really like your new car and your new bed room😊. Awesome!
Don’t forget a pair of tire chains ⛓ hope that Ram does you well. Haven’t owned a Subaru but hear it’s the best for snow covered roads. I had a Ram with KO2 tires but sold it for a 4Runner, easier to maneuver in the trails, miss having a truck though.
0:56 legit was going to say check out mav.. rip to the subby but great vid! welcoime back
Always be real Maddie, love your stuff ❤️
Take'er easy kid. Life is tough. Appreciate the videos. Congrats on the new job.
I enjoy your content, especially when you're down in the USA. I travel to lots of the same spots. Much love from West Kelowna (Shannon Lake)!
Hi Madison l love your new truck it’s Awesome and Amazing you can go anywhere with it nice lay out ❤😊
Awesome new truck looks like you’ll be able to go lots more places in it 🙂
Never underestimate a Subaru! Cheers
Nice truck! I suggest upgrading your air compressor when you get a chance. You have larger truck tires. Whether you use it for emergencies or if you are actually planning on airing down you will need something better. I have a truck and I am guessing my compressor is more robust than yours but not by much given how expensive they can get. Trying to air up two tires that were kind of low really taxed the little guy and blew a fuse. If you are planning on airing down much then you will really need something much better in the $200 + range at least. I am not at the right place to get one yet but looking at the Morrflate.
B/F all terrain KO 2 tires are awesome,,,nice truck !
