    I recently spent 3 days snow camping out of my Jeep in Stanley Idaho near the Sawtooth mountain range. Temperatures dropped down to -12C (9F) and I even got some fresh snowfall during my time there. Thank you to Audible for sponsoring this video!

    This was definitely the hardest of the last 4 winter camping vlogs to film! Hope you guys enjoy though and thanks for all the support. I am putting together a Q/A later this month so comment any questions you guys have about my life on the road, photography, filmmaking or just general questions about myself! Will be answering the top 10-15 most asked. I get asked a ton how I find camp spots and I've recently been using DYRT. They are doing 3 months free for their premium features if you use code "drew90". Thanks for all the support! thedyrt.com/pro?tap_a=84498-3...

      This was DOPE (as always). I’m always so impressed by your dedication to getting a million different interesting angles and I can’t imagine how much extra effort it was in that weather haha. I’d love to know how you spend your days when you’re not filming (maybe a day in the life, if it’s something different to what you show here?). Also I’m sure there’s plenty to keep you occupied but I’m curious whether you ever get lonely/bored being by yourself so much, and also what your thoughts are on campgrounds vs, wild camping (pros and cons, preferences, etc). Excited to set out in my Jeep in April! You’ve given me a ton of build/travel/camping inspo to go off of so thank you heaps for all that you share!

    I typically don't watch TH-cam camper videos that are over 30 minutes long, but once I started this one, I did not want to stop because of the scenes, choice of music and the sense of peacefulness solitary living brings with it. I am 73 and this is the kind of life I would like to live for the rest of my life. However, that is not going to happen because of the many commitments and responsibilities I have. But videos like this let me live vicariously through the life others live, and for now, that's about as good as it gets. Drew . . . do this for as long as you can, and enjoy each new adventure. I know there is an income aspect of your life that isn't emphasized in your videos and is a necessity, keep living the good life.

    Dude! I really admire your willingness to go through so much hassle and struggle to show the world what you go though to be able to expose to us how amazingly beautiful and complicated nature can be. You are asserted, objective and down to earth on every step of the way! You have an amazing future ahead of you, I just hope you keep doing what you do the same way; objective, simple and down to earth! If you loose those amazing qualities: you are doomed to fail. But you know you won’t, I know you are not aware of how amazingly wonderful you are! You have a beautiful soul and that is key in your life success!!)

The winters there are amazing I miss going up to Henry's lake early in the morning and watching all the snow fall and the sun rise through the snow covered trees. This video brings back memories. Thanks for the video!!!

    My family and I moved to Boise, Idaho, in 1991. Left Georgia and went west! I was in 9th grade. That first fall, my dad (who's originally from Montana) took us to Stanley where we camped. It was SO cold! But I've never seen anything so beautiful and magnificent. Loved this video man! Took me back to a very special place!

    Wow, you're such a talented videographer! I really appreciate how you separate experiencing/showing us around and explaining things, and don't find a need to narrate as you do them- it makes all the quiet shots so much more poignant and peaceful. You're probably the first adventurer I follow who doesn't add in loud punchy music all the time to make things feel exciting.... the views already are beautiful enough which is already exciting!

The camper reported it worked great and provided a warm comfortable sleep through the cold night. no fumes no fire risk and you can boost the goal zero with the car 12 volt outlet on your trips into town etc .
