Hunkering Down in a Snowstorm | Staying Cozy in my Camper
Although winter has been off to a slow start this year in Oregon, this week I'm back up in the snow and I couldn't be more excited!

The answer is YES put antifreeze in the water lines or risk having them crack if there is any water remaining in them. You could also use compressed air to blow the lines ... anti-freeze will prevent damage to the lines. You should have isolation valves to prevent antifreeze from going into your tank. Also put some in all your drains and the toilet 👋
Luna is so chill. My cats have never ending energy 😂

@@JonathanYentch Seek out the freemasonry hand signs and symbols and expose these. Get to know whom is in that evil club.

Luna is adorable and so loving. You are all very special you Tessa and luna. Love the snow, nice video.
Cold Diesel suggestions: (1) Cetane boost for the fuel, (2) fresh batteries, (3) Full synthetic oils (5W-30 or oil weight suggested by oil dealer) (4) Diesel fuel additive for anti-gelling ... large blanket for the nose of the truck... (holds the heat in and it wont get as cold as ambient).... Good luck on you winter camps.... Your efforts are appreciated and We love the content....
Hi Jonathan. I live in Oregon too and when I was younger my dad had a camper like yours. He would always winterize the water lines. So, I would recommend the same. You don't want to ruin anything after the last camper. I felt so bad about how much you worked on the other camper. Btw, I love your new camper. It looks so cozy and perfect for you. 🙂
❤Luna is the cutest cat glad you found snow 🌨️🌨️
Loved seeing you enjoying the first SNOW OUTING in your Rig! That HIKE, that BIG MAC N FRIES, that wonderfully COZY feeling... all AWESOME! Thanks for sharing it with us. Be Well, Be Safe, Be always HAPPY-GO-LUCKY 😊
Wow. Sad thing is that's how Big Mac's use to look back in the day. 😢. Good job Jonathan ☺️🤙🏾
Love watching Esp last 3 yrs,,,,,we need MORE great NORMAL people doing fun, great shares🐾💕🙏☺️ fr all!! Thks
One hint to prevent wet and cold hands when you leave your gloves at home. Two Large ziplock bags with a pair of winter socks work great in an emergency.
The hikes on your channel are always so beautiful and exciting
Glad your are back with winter camping. It inspires me to get out in the snow. I'm in Colorado and the snow is starting to hit the mountains. Safe Travels

I have to agree 🙂
Nicely done with the big mac... Two whole beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun! You deserved that break, today.
Jonathan, I have been watching you for quite a while. I never see you carrying an inReach or any device like that. Please think about having one. If you dont have cell service, or if it goes down and you get hurt by yourself, it could save you. Stay safe and keep making these great videos.
As former SAR, you should ALWAYS have Shelter, Water, Fire & Food (SWiFF) with you when hiking/snowshoeing, and especially in winter. You NEVER know what can happen. The weather can turn in mere minutes and cause you to be stranded out in the mountains, or an injury can too. I have been on hundreds of resuces where people were "just out for a short hike/snowshoe" and had to be rescued. Some even helivaced out the wilds.
More chill videos from JY. Worry about you getting caught in a unforcasted blizzard. Happened to us years ago while snow shoeing in Vermont. We were lucky we found our way back, a mere 2 miles but practically blinded and feeling disoriented. There were some locals hiking and turning around too, so we followed them with fingers crossed. You out Macked the Mac. Love the Japanese mayonnaise. Stay safe.

Yeah hiking alone in the snow is scary, i always get nervous when I see people doing it. At least I think Jonathan carries a gps locator device for emergency
The day I realized Ski goggles were the best tool for running my snowblower was a great day. No more blowback in your eyes. Love your large goggles too!

Yes! I wear them mowing the 76” riding lawn mower at 20mph too. Helps my allergies tremendously.
Does my heart good to see others who get so excited about the snow! Beautiful area! We have to wait for awhile here in the Midwest for that unfortunately. Your kitty is such a sweetie!
I worked out of Florida. on a job in Michigan. lived in New Mexico. Spending my Christmas vacation in New Mexico had an emergency call New Year's Eve to be in Bremerton Washington new Year's day 😂. We fly in it's overcast. We were there three weeks before we realized we were surrounded by mountains. It was surprisingly warmer there than we expected 👍 Worked in medical building operations. For some reason after that, I found myself the West Coast consultant for 113 medical facilities🎉 Love it out there.. Let's goooooo ✌️
What a peaceful spot to camp. The snow makes it so magical.
So excited to see winter camping videos again. Looking forward to the next one!
good morning from bali my dear friend, thank for taking us with this beautiful video
Luna is my 3 year old grand daughter's name. Fabulous!!! I just adore your adventures and the food you make, Happy trails to you 🏔🏂🌨❄❄❄.

I have a 99 PS w/ 9-6 Bigfoot 1500.Been doing this for years hunting.Have 2- 6v golf cart battery,120w solar, usually pulls it back.The main heater uses most power turn on and pre heat on way to camp if you can, or run truck a bit at same time.I also run a 2000 Honda gen.for dinner 1/2 to 1 hr, then go to my wave after that.If its zero F, then I run on low at night.Antifreeze pipes, when out for a week or more you have to keep your water jugs from freezing, I put in cooler or in front of heater. 1.5 foam in all but my main window and all roof vents with rigid foam. 1'' foam under camper toons extra on bed.Big double size bag and a wobble on top, when in the real cold.If I need I have a buddy heat w/ 5 # tank for extra heat or to point under my diesel , 7.3. Gen can recharge any of my batteries, have cord right to gen to house power
That is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for this mini vacation! 😊
Back in the late 80's and 90's, I loved to cross country ski into the mountains. The best part of it was usually the trip back down. I had to quit doing this when my back became an issue for me. I miss those days and I enjoy you taking me with you on your trips.
Yay! Luna! Pretty kitty! Nice video, have a great winter!
Wow! A great video. I also would Ike to.have the snow all year. A day of hiiking is terrific. Great cooking, Jonathan. Hello to Luna, maybe she can accompany you on a future trip. Just a terrific way to unwind in the camper. I like the set-up.
Heck yes! I love seeing new vids from you pop up, Jonathan! Love your channel! I showed some of your videos to my dad on Thanksgiving, and he really enjoys them, too. Anyways, have a great week, J-man.
Jonathan i added a wave 3 to my truck camper years ago. I dont camp in climates that are as cold as you do but sometimes when it s below freezing i will lite the wave and also turn on the camper heater for a short time then turn it off and let the wave heater do its thing. always remember when useing the wave heater to have a window cracked open a bit . i have a max air cover on my roof vent so i just leave the vent open a bit
Yes that is a very cute cat. It's hard to say which cat I've seen is the cutest, I think it's a million way tie for the top spot.
Note to self: Don't watch Johnathon on an empty stomach.

I did some snow shoe hiking in Mammoth in the mid 90's. It was stunning and so much fun. The snow was pristine, the sun was shinning, so quiet and still. It's one of my favorite memories. Your snow shoes are very cool they have come a long way over the years. They make hiking in snow so much easier. Happy travels!
If it's really cold, turn the key on to warm up the glow plugs, turn it off and turn it on again and wait like normal.
Nice video, Jonathan! Glad you had a successful first foray into the snows of Oregon. Loved the Big Mac & Fries. Gotta try that one soon. Thanks for letting us tag along on your adventures!
Luna fan club for sure. LOVE your kitty.
Luna is a lovely precious little cat.❤
That's not a snowstorm, that'sa dusting! I live in mountain town Estes Park, where we get several feet of snow.
I, too, LOVE the absolute stillness of snowy winter. I look forward to more winter videos. Love the sweet kitty! And great tree! Sometimes the quirky ones are always the most heart warming and downright fun!!!❤🎉❤☃️🌲 Question. How warm is your camper? Does your heater keep it at a reasonable temp? And what do you consider a reasonable temp? The worry in winter is water lines freezing. Be safe and thanks for another great vid!
2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickle, onions, on a sesame bun.
I love Luna & your Christmas tree looks great! Beautiful & relaxing winter camping trip too.
Hey J~Mann😃the snow is beautiful and as always great to see you 🙋🏽♀️the rain is great as well it brings the beautiful hiking experience 👍🏽🫶🏽✌🏽
Luna is precious, and your tree looks great!!! Enjoy the holidays!
It's beautiful up on Mount Hood again this winter. That's the nice thing about living in the Portland area. If you want snow, it's just a short drive .I have been wanting to get up there to Meadows to do some skiing. I haven't been up there in about 3 years. But I do like to go up and enjoy the snow . safe travels.
Great first snow trip!! The only thing cuter than Luna is Calli and Molly😘
Great video. If you're feeling adventurous there's some good snow already in Eastern Oregon. Tip for you: when your rv is winterized bring a couple gallon jugs of water for the toilet. You can pour water into the bowl to use. Just have to dump black tank after your trip. No other re-winterizing to do.
Thank you for your camping videos! God bless!
Good to see you still around!
Thanks for the beautiful snow scenery. Sandwich looked really good.
Snow!!! I love it
I’m so glad you posted bro I needed some comfort content I love your videos bro
Wow beautiful glass ❤️
Love the 80’s music packing montage
This is the first snowstorm I’ve seen on your trip wow scary so happy you got through it great video ❄️❄️❄️❄️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Bulleit Bourbon is pronounced Bull Light. I am from Shelbyville, KY. They have a distillery across the street from the entrance to Guist Creek Lake where I fish quite a bit. It is mayb 5 miles from my home. Great video! I love my bourbon. My faves, Kentucky Gentleman $8 a 5th on the low end to Knob Creek $30 a 5th on the high end. Yellowstone is another good bourbon. Early Times and Kentucky Tavern round out some of my go to’s. Everyone wants very high end bourbon like 4 Roses or the most expensive Pappy Van Winkle ($2k for a 5th), and they are a “you love it or you don’t” bourbons.
I grew up in southern Idaho and now live south of Portland, this time of year has been hard on me. I never realized how much I need the sunshine
Big Mac! Glad to see you out there. I like snow camping.
Absolutely stunning scenery man! Wish I could experience that with a truck and truck camper of my own at some point. Awesome as always bro!✌
The way your videos are shot it feels like I’m there 🤣💯💯 sick shots everytime I love it bro
LUNA IS A CUTIE PIE And you video was very relaxing And your dinner made me HUNGRY SAFE AND FUN TRAVELS
I put tube socks from Dollar Tree on my wiper blades.

I use a windshield tarp that’s made for my vehicle for $3.99. Secures tight slamming ends in the doors. Keeps it snow & ice free.
Always enjoy your videos!
Merry Christmas! Cheers!
Ok that Big Mac looks really good. Nice job love the camper, be safe out there
Have you noticed the smell of the air with an icy snow? Its so clean.
First time viewer. Luv truck camping. Have a 99 F350 7.3. Starts every time. Great engine. Really like the show.
Love Mt Hood area. My x in laws lived in Camas was a very beautiful area... Love snow videos. Stay warm have fun. 💕💜💙
Great video! Loved the background music as well.
That was fun. Thank you!
Cute and sweet kitty... Love the Christmas tree!!
That big mac was the BEST ive ever seen made!!! I bet it was delicious! Nice job!!👍🏼
GLAD TO SEE YOU GOT TO ENJOY AN EARLY SNOW, WE HAVEN'T HAD OURS YET IN CENTRAL PIEDMONT NC.
Love the Big Mack!
Enjoy camping videos with narration well done 👍
Awww Luna is too cute. We used to have a cat named Luna too.
You forgot the onions. 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. You put the diced onions on top of the patties.
Love your style dude. the music is perfect
Thank you for sharing your adventures. It gives me inspiration in doing solo camping trips...I have an R pod and i go solo camping a lot especially in the winter when I hit the slopes skiing.,
Great video, thank you Johnathan 😊
Cheers!
Thank you again for sharing
My idea of dream camping, out there in the elements. Surviving and winning!
It's slow up here in mid Minnesota too. We just got an inch of snow yesterday on Sat, first rain, then it got colder and then snow, with ice below the snow.
Awesome man thanks for sharing
Love your content Johnathon! Silent snow secret snow awesome
Right on… I’m out in my Northern Lite just North in Washington out on the Olympic Peninsula …. Cheers!
Oh my - now I want a Big Mac - yours looked soooo good. Considering it is 1 am , it will have to wait. And yes Luna is quite cute as is my Luna which is a very large Alaskan Malamute. And finally - love the tree. In my younger days we used to cut our own, but I can’t really manage the walk in the woods at 74. Thanks for sharing the snowy views. Here in New Jersey we have only had a few flurries so far but I’ll keep waiting…
I was with you when you found and bought your truck camper. Nice find!
Oh my...what a great video! Love snowshoeing in fresh snow, in a snowstorm! Put some HotPaws in your truck...can't have hypothermia! That Big Mac was off the charts!! Better than the Golden Arches. Hugs and catnip to Luna, and a huge shoutout to you and Tess from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦🫶🏔️
Beautiful lil tree!🌲
I live in my old mans truck camper on my parents property. I have 3 sources of heat surrounding me in a heat triangle where i sit. my ps4 on my right rear radiator side blowing hot hair towards me, a mini oil filled 700 watt radiator on my left while the 2 heat sources converge on each other. and a heated blanket behind me. so i stay above 22c when its 3c outside.
Definitely the cutest cat 😺🐈
You definitely want to pump anti-freeze through your lines! We do it every winter, one year we forgot to flush some thru the toliet. We ended up with a leaking toilet in the spring, cracked one of our water lines that goes into the toliet.
Love the glasses
Bro, I absolutely loved that intro!!! The story telling is awesome.
Hey Jonathan A note on TC, good that you emptied the tanks, but you can use them in this fashion…make sure you get Rv antifreeze and you should always have a gallon with you, so you could get a gallon, two gallon, five gallon jug of water, put on counter and wash dishes this way. Followed by some antifreeze…as well using bathroom, same way…I know seems like a pain but it is a way to use it…of course you would dump as soon as you can… I own a TC and lived in it for over a year…I will recommend a channel Kenny of all trades…he does winter camping in his TC but also if you are not using it I would put RV antifreeze in the lines just to be safe Take care!
Great video I've been enjoying your videos since I recently started to follow your channel the nice landscape and love the truck camper 👍
It's one of the best homemade Big Macs I've ever seen..nice job
Wow-you rocked that Mac!
