I love this video. Super jealous of the snow camping. I hit up Wisconsin a few weeks ago and we got some freezing rain, but not quite the same. I had the opposite problem you did though. I went without a heater, expecting to use some hot hands and a wool blanket and then a buddy had an extra diesel heater and he literally changed my life. I ordered one as soon as I got back, haha. Now I'll make sure to bring fuel next time I use it!

FYI for any newbie in Colorado's high country. If you get too high in the mountains and plan to cook something with boiling water, like noodles, be advised that your water may not get hot enough to boil your water using briquettes or certain soft wood. TIP: Bring a little white gas burner. Much easier. Ask me how I know. My noodles sank to the bottom of the pot and congealed into one globy noodle and yes I did try to eat it, after many beers didn't seem so bad and I got a big laugh to myself about it.

Great video! I traded my sr5 tacoma in for a 4runner recently, ive decided to start traveling and camping with my 4runner only. I currently live in florida and I was curious on how you combat rust when driving in the northern states. My 4runner came from Wisconsin and had 11k miles on it...however ive already found 3 screws in the engine bay that had surface rust...thankfully nowhere else. Thank you for any imput!

@OXFOOT

Жыл бұрын

I haven’t had that issue as bad up here as I wash my underside religiously. But keeping an eye on it is really important in preventing it from getting worse. Surface rust is luckily easy to combat. You can just remove the rust and cover it with a new coating. I’d check to see how much that is nearby to do but you can probably do it yourself pretty easy.

What's the best way you've found to transport fuel (for the heater)? Outside (rotopax)? top off the heater and store inside the cab? Just curious and thanks in advance.

@OXFOOT

2 жыл бұрын

Rotopax would be a good way to do it. So far my way has been to keep the fuel level below 75% so it doesn’t spill out. The stand I made for the heater keeps it pretty level.

Are you in Northern Cali? Looks like the Sierra Mtns, I am in Reno..... Great vids!

@OXFOOT

I’m actually in Colorado. In the snow the mountains look pretty similar but I think each range has its advantages and share of great views. Some of northern Cali puts Colorado to shame.

Enjoyed the video but I am ready for things to warm up. Tip I learned is if things are freezing up put water in your pot the night before. Allows you to melt it in the pot on the stove/fire.
