It’s good to see the old ford truck out there again.Nice looking camp Jason like to see you doing some of the old stuff again.Stay safe.

Agreed, that is why I am building a 1969 CJ5. Found it in Christmas valley, has the old school safari top! Original 48,000 miles. It is so small, like a UTV with a license plate! It is going on a flat bed behind my big rig…. Then I can get anywhere!! The van is easier for sure… can’t wait to see your fabrication shop Jason

I love the sound of nothing but the wind in the trees. Such a gift.

One nice thing when you have a camp like that all set up. Nobody is going to stop you from taking a nap if you're tired. We do five/six day trips every year where we set up a base camp and then stay in that spot the whole time.

What I’ve always done with tent and hammock camping when the wind becomes annoying is use my ear plugs. A trick learned while working graveyard shifts and having to sleep when the entire world is awake.

Nothing like a campfire! Very enjoyable.

Exactly what I needed right now after a depressing office day.... Just sitting there (with you) by the fire, listening and having a nice drink.

We camp primarily with out off road travel trailer. It is the most comfortable for sleeping and cooking. MY wife and I are in our mid 70's. When we were younger we only tent camped. We still have our tents and use them in situations when we can not use the travel trailer. I am looking forward to a paddling trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area next fall. Canoe and sea kayaking opens up more areas to explore. Tents in the wind is a bummer for getting a good night sleep. That is one reason I do not have a roof top tent. I have been using a Suzuki Grand Vitara for the past 12 years as an off road rig. With a good lift and oversize tires it is a going machine. When it dies I am thinking about an old fashion 2 door jeep wrangler. The 4 door version are just too big for the places I would like to explore.

I agree how it is a good thing to be able to set up but still be mobile. I fell in love with your tear drop set up which by its nature is an instant set up should simple “housing” be required by weather or time of the day etc. My valiant gives me that capability. Great video. I love the winter camp episodes especially. Appreciate you taking us along on your adventures!

Gotta love a good fire at camp!!

I have been using a bunch of cheap duffel bags now for years, color coded. I keep camping gear in them sorted by use, cooking/sleeping/clothing/tools/camp/campfire. As long as things go back in the right bag.. Basically all of the little stuff that makes things just a little easier.

Awesome video. Thank you. Camp fire, good food and good times. Memories of the past. Drift...👍

Hey for a smaller rig you should get a Subaru Forester. Just think how much you could razz Donald! 😂

I love your fires , thank you I really enjoyed this one .

Very cool thank you for sharing Don and Donna

Love the videos! So want a hot tent! This helps and you are a great inspiration for getting out enjoying the outdoors. If ever in NC I have some land in mountains you are welcome sir!

Apple notes is a lifesaver. I have everything from passcodes, to gear list, to do and shopping lists, to herbal remedy recipes. I miss my 86’ Toyota 4x4. Regular cab, regular bed with a topper. Totally stock. The absolute best “adventure vehicle” I owned. Selling that was, by far, the biggest mistake of my “vehicular” life. Great video as usual. Thanks for taking us along.

I love your idea for the two different directions for the two different channels

For a new overland platform maybe you could put your Drifter Trailer cabin on a narrow width flat bed truck. The best of both worlds. I know the cabin needs repair look into Marine grade plywood - Great Stuff.

Standing deadwood tends to be significantly drier than anything laying on the ground… Much preferred when available.

hey Jay thanks for the video we miss you

Another great hot tent adventure video. We are really enjoying this series. BTW I wrap some waxed string around a Bic Lighter and light the string. It saves the butane in the lighter. Keep up the great story telling!

Back to basics...that tent and heater made it easier...everything about being able use your truck for other things and leave camp set up is spot on.

Thanks for making these videos, man. I dont have much money to go out to this extreme. I got my old two man backpacking tent ⛺️ im going to go out camping 🏕 this Christmas 🎄. I always sleep heavy in tents for some reason 😅

Love the hissss of Coleman. Reminds me of the first time I lit mine and almost lost my eyebrows!

An old school Bronco as an Overland Rig would be awesome. Hard to find but would be cool as hell. JMO

That peaceful easy feeling you get when camping is why we all love it so much. When you’ve got all your gear dialed in, and it’s time to relax by the fire with a cup of something… that’s golden.

I completely agree with you! There's something truly special about the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere around a campfire. And having all your gear dialed in just adds to the experience. By the way, if you're looking for reliable outdoor gear and home backup power products, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile powerhouse with massive capacity and fast recharging. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us!

So jealous of your winter camping ⛺ Jason ❤😅

Awesome!!!

My buddy recently moved to Bend from Hood River and has a 97 astro van that we switched out the Borg and Warner AWD T-case out for a S-10 HI-LO. He absolutely loves that thing! Been actually super reliable too! Great video Jason! 👍

👍Excellent fireside video. I needed a little fireside time tonight. Thank you.

That lantern shot was brilliant. I really enjoyed watching this one.

Good looking camp.

Yay! You're camping like us! It's a nice change of pace.😊

you should get a nissan frontier and call it primal frontier. ... kinda like soft roading the frontier! haha

Exactly what I came here to say! 😂

Love these type of videos. What about a little truck with a topper? Ford ranger, dodge Dakota, etc….

Jason: Perfect.

Yet another great video, tent looks great too. Maybe consider a fat tire e-bike for your excursions while using the van, even add a trailer to haul stuff around with. Be safe.

Ever thought about driving the van to the arctic circle? Barrow Alaska?

It seems like that the drifter trailer needs to return in combo with a small-/mid-sized vehicle. Good to see that the old Ford is still there and in use

Hay Jason, Take a look at the Chevy Astro vans there small. Short and nimble. They have all wheel drive on some of the vans. I myself are looking at one for me to build that is fuel efficient since I live on S.S.I. and have limited income. Rite now I'm using a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport witch is just big enough for me to sleep in. Dennis from Delaware U.S.A 😊😊😊😎

...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

HEY! Hello Jason!

I like the primal channel best,do appreciate van also!

Is there any sound more peaceful than the wind moving through the trees? Maybe the sound of a good wood fire would be second! Thanks for making this video

just cool

You might consider getting an international scout for nimble outings , ease of working on it and super cool content

👍👍👍👍👍😀

Very nice. Was thinking the stove was a winnerwell until you showed the close up. Of course it could be a different model I’ve not seen

Thanks for the video! Campfires Rule!

i think there is pro and con to each camping style, to be able to have choices is good though

I miss your trailer , you inspired me to buy one and I pull it with my Jeep. It’s my hard side tent on wheels . Do you miss the trailer and would you consider getting another one? A Jeep would be fun and versatile … tent on top and go .. I do find that my Hiker overland trailer could hold me back on the trail or tight roads . It’s almost best to basecamp the trailer and then explore .

This was an awesome video. It did a lot to answer some questions on the tent. It was very interesting for sure. Will see what your con on it is. As for van camping that is the way to go IMHO. Are you keeping Megan hidden we only see her occasionally. Have a super week. God bless in all things.

👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔥

Hi Jason, love your videos on both your channels. After watching this video I was wondering what ever happened to your hiker camper? Those early videos is what got me to buy an off-road camper.

Same here , I bought a Hiker trailer after watching the early episodes with his trailer .

Nice dry wood

Chill vid. What did you do with the Drifter Trailer?

This tent and stove are made in our factory!

Just wondering, have you or have you thought about buying some remote land somewhere's on you travels and start building a homestead? Remote simple cabin to call home? 🤠😻

Some ear plugs would have helped a great deal sleeping with the noise of the wind on the tent.

"Comforting low moan"...niiiiiiice!

who makes that mini smoker in the pic of the van that was in your thanksgiving video?

I really miss your 2 dogs.

I'm trying to do the truck thing travel. But I find myself wanting to find places that I throw up my 12x20wall tent Ozarks trail tent. Custom made wood stove. I have like 4 big buddy glamping heater systems. Back up.4 of the 18k but I have the correct pressure ext 15ft hoses and new 40pound tanks. 1 100pound huge tank . So I'm never hot and never cold. I have new dual fuel or propane 8500max generator.100ft ext cord get sound away from camp. Plus in summer I'll set up camp at river close to out skirts town ac unit keeps that tent 60degrees,.really I'll stay month at time.. I am now looking at 12ftdouble axle trailer and new big bear 4x4 wheeler. And go camp and ride it into town to attend car shows or festival..

just a suggestion, Ural sidecar 2 wheel drive?

Jason would love to see you get a dog for yourself and the channel!!!

U should give a good used toyota 4 Runner a try for a smaller off roader

The knees on your jeans got dirty again....nice to go old school once in a while..:-)

Looks like you might be in the market for a Nissan Frontier. LOL!

does the tent have anyway to tie it down so it doesn’t make so much noise in the wind?🌬️

A van with a side by side on a trailer, lol

Jason it's time for a haircut bro!

Just have to get a Jeep with a rooftop tent! Otherwise, keep using the Ford. It really is different than the Van!

*JEEP,

Hey J great series was wondering if you still had the SuperDuty nice see it still rolling. Had you thought about getting another puppy?

Looks to me you're camping in your backyard.
