This is the best video I have seen you make yet. I'm from Rhode Island this is how I roll all the time
Those top secret locations! dang it!
Thanks for taking us along ! See you on the next one !
Man with that set-up I would be out every night! Sweet! We are getting even more snow here in Minnesota with super cold temps.
Great stuff! I love solo snow camping myself and always enjoy watching others enjoy it as well. I was getting a kick out of watching you video the best you could one handed.
This was awesome! Would love to see more trips like this.
Thanks for sharing this adventure. You are a master at one handed cooking/filming. thanks again.
at minute 3:26 my mind was blown and with a few pauses of the video i saw the madkon logo and ordered one from OK4wd. can’t wait to try it out.

Fantastic! Love that little powerhouse.
Good one mate, we live in Tasmania down under so we also snowcamp & do a very similar recipe with a smoked sausage, can I suggest a nice whiskey & good quality stogie after....nice vid mate
Excellent little camp out!! :D
We have a Cooper also - ours is a Yellow Labrador Retriever. Thanks for sharing your cold weather adventure with us 👊
Awesome !!!
Great video! I was in Eastern WV a couple days after the storm. I was disappointed they plowed all the way up at 3,000 ft!! But it was still great time! Some of the forests roads got a little sketchy after the temp got up to 50 degrees! Thanks for sharing!
Nice work if you call it that. Love the videos.
awesome video
You’re pretty good at one-handed filming. I’d be making a mess, and talking to myself so much more. Great glimpse into solo snow camping. Looked fun…and cold!
I'm jealous! You would think that being the friend from South Dakota that I'd be able to compete in the snow business, but we have absolutely none!
Great stuff 👍😃✌️🇺🇸
I'd hoped you'd talk more about the winterization of the Alu-Cab. I do a decent amount of winter camping and I'm trying to determine how well the Alu-Cab does. I'm up in MD but come down to W.VA quite often in the winter.

I have an AT Overland Summit and a buddy with an Alu-cab Cannopy Camper freezes his butt off compared to the Summit. We switched for a night and I froze my butt off in his while he reported to be fine in my Summit. Summit has 1" honeycomb walls vs a layer of AL for the Alu-Cab. Weights are similar. Alu-Cab is much more affordable. With an AT Overland system, one must add the wing doors and solar run to the roof.

@@terrychrudinsky5663 The AT Summit is still single wall canvas in the sleeping area correct? I get that the lower part is insulated vs AluCab but don't understand how that would correlate to a better sleeping experience.

@@red6743 First off last year I slept in my camper close to 90 times (almost every weekend, 2 long trips, and a work schedule that allows for Tuesday and Wednesday outings). I have dozens of nights in the low 20s and below. You're over estimating the double layer canvas. I read that also and was surprised by my friends reports of being too cold and really surprised by the above real world tests by me a Summit owner and an Alu-Cab owner parked side by side changing vehicles between nights, the one sleeping in the AluCab was much colder. AT Overland also offers a Termal curtain kit that can be hung in the test area. I've seen videos and it is reportedly thick. There are reasons, those who actually winter camp with an Alu-cab Camper spends so much time insulating the shit out the Alucab. I'm surprised an after market company isn't making a Termal curtain for the Alu-cab. I'm sure one will come out sooner than later. Note, I'm not saying the AT Summit is a better camper. I actually think the Alu-cab is the better camper minus the thermal issues. I'm about to get a new truck DCLB vs the DCSB and will likely get an Alu-Cab realizing I will be insulating it and likely building my own thermal curtain going into next winter, there are vids on line of people building them for RTTs. I am concerned how much weight the insulation will add to the system. If wanted, I can do a write up on the advantages one have over the other. I'm about to buy so notes are current. There are other campers, I've not slept in them

@@terrychrudinsky5663 I felt a thermal curtain could be made out of a moving blanket decently easily. And seeing as they're pretty cheap at Harbor Freight, worth a shot.
That looks like a good time👍
Good content! Your normal content is entertaining, but this gives a much more normal look at what MSO is all about. WE also get to see the intimate look at your set up and the gear you are using wiht out all the hype.

That’s the spirit. Stick with it and get back out there. Nature is good medicine.
Happy Trails! I want to do some snow wheeling,.looking like i need to get out of Ohio and go east!
Crazy delicious stuff !! Solo? You went solo on a night like that? Thank god for Cooper, LOL !! Jason, you rock !!! That meal looked so tasty !! Very well done !! Thanks for sharing !! Loved the details when you plugged the music and at the end with the screen ... You gotta get a chest mount, cause working with only one hand, gets tricky and dangerous !! Keep up, and bring on more !!! Cheers

Hi there! We use a Madkon Braai.
Nice video how does your marine heater handle heating the alucab canopy camper, and do you experience any condensation on the wedge camper tent? Looking for a camper to go winter camping in the mountains of California
Where does your dog sleep? I camp in my truck with a dog, and have been thinking about getting a canopy camper, but can’t quite put it together how I would get the dog in the bed.

Great video. Is there reason to worry about mold on or in your RTT during winter when it’s harder to air it out?
@msoverland

Nope, no worries. You should always prop open a canvas tent/camper when its nice enough out to air things a bit. We store our truck in a conditioned garage when not traveling so we just pop open the tent inside. Cheers!
The insulation on your Alu-cab side panels... did you make them or buy them. I would like something like those for mine.

Insulation. A friend of mine cut and stitched it for me.
Ditch the metal dinnerware in the winter, plastic will keep your food warm for longer than a minute.
Dude! You gotta put that powdery shit in the water before you start to boil it! Add a glob of butter too. That's a hell of a good looking meal though.
