Solo winter snowstorm camping above 10,000' | Lifestyle Overland [S5E37]
I took our trusty Toyota 4Runner on a solo winter camping adventure during the first snowstorm of the season. Maybe getting above 10,000' was a bit of a risk with unpredictable snowfall... but it was so worth it!

Can you please type a description of your vehicle and mechanical specs: front locker? Rear locker? Electronic activated? Cable? Air lockers? Tires? Psi? If you type three sentences and copy and paste that Into your videos it would be very helpful. Thanks. I am trying to figure out how best to do basic overlanding. Although frankly I'm leaning toward a used manual five speed 4x4 ranger. Simple, cheap, torque is decent for the mileeage , and it drives on dirt roads, even if it rains. 😅

We are in as Jimmy and Tammy Manning. You guys got us into a great hobby.
I don't think most people realize how much work goes into doing a video by yourself. Nicely done!!
I have backpacked in the snow when I was 11 (1968) a friend and I backpacked from East Willows road in Alpine, Ca. all the way up to Green Valley Falls with an overnight stay at a primitive camp site about 8 miles from Green Valley Falls. It started snowing shortly before we made camp and snowed all night, it was very cold and no fires were allowed there plus worst of all we had tube tents LOL Kids ... We survived the night and hiked out to Green Valley Falls early the next morning, there was about 8 inches of snow everywhere hiking out and we get to the ranger station to make a phone call to be picked up and they start bugging us about permits for which we had none oops. It is actually one of my fondest memories from my childhood, two 11 year old boys off on our own for a couple days, these days my parents would probably be arrested for allowing such a thing but for us it was more a test of our manhood if you will.

That's an awesome story! It's wild how different kids are today. Thanks for sharing!
Long time fan here. The serenity of snow covered mountains is staggering. I don't get back enough. Thanks so much. I've got to bust your chops...no ice/snow scraper/brush???
when you are in a warm house at the computer and watch this video, you perfectly realize how cold it can be and how difficult it is in such conditions! On an expedition to Altai in Siberia, we once got into severe frosts when it was down to -25 and we lived in tents! Unforgettable experience!😂

Perfect amount of snow, awesome. Great place for a full-size Dodge with a FourWheel camp.
Dearest Kevin, Sara and Caroline, I found y'all on youtube right after you started your overlanding adventure a few years back and have been hooked ever since. I have watched all of your episodes, many multiple times, and was hooked while you were on the first Alaska trip. That was awesome!!!! I have been building my 2005 Z71 Tahoe for overlanding and it is coming along. After watching your new baby announcement episode I had to subscribe and follow y'all out in the open. Your announcement of your new family member has got a waterfall running down my face with joy!!!!!! Congratulations !!!!!!! I cant wait for the arrival episode!!!! God bless you guys!!!! I feel like you're family I have watched your adventures so many times!!! Keep up the great work. Your videography is beautiful to watch. America is an absolutely beautiful place from top to bottom and side to side. Thank you so very much for sharing it and showing it. If y'all are ever in Texas overlanding please reach out. I would love to share a weekend adventure with you guys. Once again, a very heart felt sincere congratulations on your new baby. Over this past Thanksgiving we found out my eldest daughter and her husband informed us we are about to be grand parents for the first time!!! I AM THROUGH THE ROOF WITH JOY. Love y,all, John S. II
Yea Dude instant fire with Propane, but we want wooden fire more... Good video....
I love how excited you are about all of this! You're clearly enjoying what you do and that's what makes these videos so awesome!
Wow...194000 on old Silver. The stories she could tell!
AWESOMENESS! Just the most spectacular snow celebration video I have ever seen! Glorious. Driving in the snow is the best and so is winter camping. Thank you so much for sharing.

That was a really good video, thankyou. Thanks for translating F° to C°. Seen snow once in my life, to see snow have to travel 4000km or nearly 2500 miles. Cheers Dennis.
Thanks!
Great idea with the Mac and cheese! Looked like a lovely time camping in the snow. So pretty and peaceful!
Gotta, after all the years of watching and knowing how prepared you are for just about everything, I find it so amusing and ironic that you didn’t carry a brush/scraper to get all the snow off the car in the morning! Love the video and am so stoked for you guys!

That drone flyover was awesome! For some reason the thoughts that came to me were of our ancestors and the unimaginable hardships that they had to go through crossing through this kind of land during winter. I was just listening to the music almost meditating and envisioning them just trek across the landscape, set up camps, cut trees to survive, hunt to eat....it was a great experience for me, thankyou! Keep up the awesome content!
AWESOME!!! Loved this one ! One of the best in a while. Just pure adventure with just the right mix of uncertainty. Also, you need a snow brush.
Congratulations on a great video and wonderful first snow outing. Awesome!
Epic 🙌
That’s a pretty neat fire pit, I’m new to your channel and haven’t seen that before. I really enjoyed your driving in shots. Just skimmed through your Lexus build videos and I’ll have to make time to watch them all in full!
The perfect trip! Just enough snow, but not to much. I know the quiet, it's amazing. Some day, we will have to get you up to the land of the midnight sun, in the winter! 🙂
Great video Kevin
I do have to admit this is one of the best,, Great video and great snow.. and congratulations on the new addition to the Adventure World,, three girls one guy
MSR ASMR 😂. Love the snow adventure!
Another beautiful production! ❤
You and i have the same definition of fun as far as the snow! Love the channel and adventurous attitudes your family has. It's a shame that one can only hit the like once per video...would have hit it multiple times throughout the video
First video of yours I have seen...real good stay blessed bro!!! Just to the point!!!
Kevin! bravo on the filming effort on these shots! one man show , same with the edit! just epicness here per usual. cheers man!
Hei😃 jeg liker å se alle deres filmer❤️ tusen takk for at dere deler dette med oss som ser. God tur og tillykke med ny baby🤗😍😍
Great job as always Kevin.
Amazing video man! Thank you so much
Stunning views! Happy to join in on the virtual adventure!
Beautiful video , good job. 👏👏👏
What happened to the diesel heater? I don't leave home without it. It's conveniently mounted on the roofrack and pumped into the truck cap. (2019 Tacoma) Got tested last year with a Dec trip to the Grand Canyon and performed perfectly 👌 . Congratulations to your growing family too...Good luck with the 3 on 1 game lol.

Thanks for sharing! I’m winter camping in Minnesota with my Four Wheel Camper… about 4-5” of snow in past 24 hours, 4” more expected.
Great weather! Stay another day!
Fabuloso Lugar, exito 🍀🍀💪💪
Damn! I can smell the brisket from here!
Wow, I like the decoration of your car. I guess you will enjoy your camping in the snow.
It’s beautiful! Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to try it in the snow. I don’t like being cold. Thanks for the videos.
Should have used the rendered fat from the brisket as some butter replacement. You can also keep a little water in the mac since you didn't have milk.
I promise to stay curious!
Looks like a scene from the Shining going up to the overlook hotel 😃
Wow you have some of the best camera work.

I was searching on Craigs List for a car camper tent. I saw TONS of ads selling their rooftop tents. That tells you something
Looks 👍
14:50 nice camera angle. It looks like you were not alone. :-)
Kevin, you sold us on the propane firepit a long time ago. We never go camping without ours. Instant heat, no wet wood, quickly extinguished-what could be better?
That shot at 00:17
Awesome video.... :)
I like mixing in smoked meat in Kraft deluxe extra sharp cheddar Mac and cheese. Bonus no milk or butter required
Put some type of extrnsio below de light bars so the light doesnt touch the windshield nor the hood/bonet. To avoide glare. You will se much better.
That long shot of you driving out of the woods? Badass ;)
Another epic video Kevin, thought you would have used the diesel heater. Our elevation here where I live top out at around 2,000 ft
WOW so beautifull ☺️💕

Congratulations on y'all's new addition! Btw, Dickey's makes a great Brisket Mac. Also per the last video, I had the back glass get punched. Twice, two years in a row, on the Continental Divide Trail, in New Mexico and Wyoming. 😐
Beautiful scenery!!! You captured it perfectly Kevin. I also love solo winter camping, there is nothing quite like sitting next to a fire (real or propane) and enjoying the silence that nothing but the snow brings. Are you too tall to sleep inside the 4Runner? I sleep in mine, but I'm way shorter than you.
Awesome! We are already preparing for our first overlanding snow camping soon. Excellent videography. I would love to know how you get your patches to adhere to your roof liner. Special liner fabric or adhesive perhaps?
Just curious, how fast does that fire pit go through propane?
Nice trip! What head unit are you now using?
I don't know why I'm drawn to this type of shit but I'm here.

I found the overland propane campfire linked to your Amazon but the question is can you grill over it? I mean I'm sure I can put a pot of coffee on or cook in a can't start and skillet but what about steak or hamburgers.

Here's a video on that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/moil15lwcc-1npM.html I cover the idea of cooking over the flames in there. In short, not a good idea in bear country. The rocks will not burn up the grease. Might get a bit stinky in the summer time too.
At least you should stay three days camping, because It's too many sacrifices and time to make one day a camp.

59.97fps on most shots. Drone ended up at 50fps 5.7k. But honestly the cold was messing with the camera so much there might be some dropped frames in there. KZread is notorious for over compression so the Patreon version on Vimeo is a better representation for sure. Glad you enjoyed it!
