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 👋

    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. 🙂

    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.

You can pour water into the bowl to use. Just have to dump black tank after your trip. No other re-winterizing to do.

    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.

    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!
