Truck Camping in a Rainstorm / Campfire Cooking in Heavy Rain

Ойын-сауық

This was my first Boondocking trip of 2023! The weather is finally getting nice, and the roads are open in the Chippewa National Forest. I knew going into the weekend that a rainstorm would be passing through, but I didn't expect it to last as long as it did. By Sunday morning I was worried that I wasn't going to make it out of the forest. My fears almost came true when I took the shoulder to avoid a downed tree. My rear driver tire sunk into the mud and I was being sucked into ditch. Thankfully the truck camper held course and made it out of the forest to camp another day. I want to thank everyone who takes the time to follow along on my weekend adventures. I appreciate you! I'll see you again next week.

    Great video! Since you keep the generator out front, why not keep and electric heater as a back up, or one of those small self contained propane fueled heaters? Just enough to get the chill off could make a nice difference inside. I could see a setup like yours in my future.

    Great question! I usually keep a small electric heater in the camper. It does an awesome job. It has kept the camper warm down to -20 as long as it not windy. It just so happens that I ran out of propane at the house to a few days earlier. I took the heater out of the camper and into the house. I never got it put back.

    In winter I prefer to drain the water lines, then keep a little heat going in the camper during cold snaps. Usually about 50-55 will do. I really hate to let it freeze solid overnight, then the sun pop up on it in the morning. I also keep 4 bottles of gas... never want to run out.

    I hear you. That would be nice. In Minnesota, we have cold snaps where the high temps reach -20 and lows -45. It's an expensive task to keep heat on. When I go camping in those cold snaps, I go through a 20-pound tank of propane every day. Thankfully, we have had a mild winter . I only have a few videos of it being 20 to 30 degrees below this year.

They must hav enjoyed the play, because they brought their little ones close, so we could admire them. We were camping in Boundary Waters and it rained every day. We’d just suit up and paddle. I could just sleep peacefully listen to rain and loons. That Dutch oven is the business! Thanks for the ride and making me drool a bit.

    I've had a few strange experiences in the north woods. Recently, near Hill City and Northome. First, I had two small pebbles thrown at me while walking through a field. I just finished flying the drone, so I know I was completely alone. Another time, I heard two whooping calls that I've never heard before. It wasn't loud. Instead, It was a super low frequency that made my insides vibrate. They were both strange experiences. I've lived up here my entire life and have been exploring these forests ever since I could drive a four-wheeler. I've never felt uncomfortable in the woods, even when unexplainable things happen. Now, walking through Walmart, I've seen and experienced situations that made me uncomfortable. Lol

    I'm not sure why I didn't toss in a line? It may have been the time of year. Ice out went quick this spring. And I might not have been carrying the rod. Or, I'll be honest, I'm a forgetful person. Sometimes, I get home from work on Friday night, and I jump into the camper so I can start the video right away. (I'm always pressed for time) I have driven 3 hours before realizing I left the laptop and camera at home. I'm sure the long-time viewers can attest that I'm not a professional outdoorsman, sportsman, RV channel, or KZreadr. I'm just a guy who enjoys getting away from civilization on Saturdays and Sundays. I carry the camera in hopes that maybe one day KZread will cover at least half of the fuel bill to find these remote locations.

    You are right, i could have run the generator. The fridge and hot water heater are also AC. But I keep the gas tank empty until I know I'm going to use it. Otherwise, the gas could sit in the generator for months on end. If I was on a road trip traveling someplace new I would have been better prepared. I don't plan anything for my weekend trips. I just drive and hit record.

After two years of camping every weekend, you would think i wouldn't be forgetting the small things. Maybe this KZread channel will take off, and I won't keep this crazy schedule. I don't know if I can do 7 more years of working a Monday through Friday Job and recording a travel video every weekend. My plan is to live in the camper full-time as well. Thanks for watching Todd.
