We Weren't Prepared For This - Below Freezing Camping In Our GFC
In this video we head out to the Sierra Mountains for a multi day overlanding and camping trip in our Tundra where we go hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail, cook some great food, and do some off-roading. Along the way we captured some awesome drone footage and at night dealt with freezing temperatures.

People try way to hard when it comes to camping meals, prepping ingredients at home is the way to go!

@@prospectoverland As for the diesel heaters if inhad to buy one today I'd purchase the HCALORY 12V 5KW with the Bluetooth. Good value, easy to carry. Only con I see is you have to do a bit more assembly then most can handle. We have a couple videos on our channel. I do like the idea of ease of a suit case style heater for travel purposes. FPG 👍👍 Thank you Thank you Thank you. I've seen it all and that I've never seen till your walk around video!!!! P.S Teresa was wondering where Kim gets her recipes? Some yummy camp/ trail meals.

We have been doing the Keto life style for the last year and a half so your best bet is just googling keto egg roll in a bowl. The other stuff we tend to just use ground turkey or chicken a lot and low carb Mission tortillas. We don’t really use formal receipts at all. Just have kinda figured out what is okay to eat on keto and make it up as she goes.

None, it does exactly what it is meant to do. Light weight, keep your truck pretty functional, cheap compared to full truck camper builds etc. But it’s still just tent material so don’t go in expecting amazing 4 season all weather type of resistant. You will get hot some night and cold other nights.

hey thanks for checking out the video. But I do my best to not totally blow the camping spot locations. I typically don't show any roadway signs or campground markings and just refer to the area in general. If you consider the thousands of people the will ultimately watch this video in the weeks to come if just a couple hundred of those people go to the spot it would be packed year around and likely trashed from too much use.
