Winter Camping In A Snowstorm With My Dog In Monongahela National Forest - Cozy Teardrop Camper 🏕️

New merch available! nowherebound.creator-spring.com/
We set out on a perilous journey into the Monongahela National Forest during a snowstorm in January 2024, alone and completely off grid. We found a perfect camping spot next to a lake, offering a serene and scenic winter wonderland backdrop for this awesome adventure. I was able to test my DIY candle furnace in real world conditions and it was a huge success!
Here is video link showing how I made it the candle heater:

    Another cozy adventure with Man's Best Friend, Juniper! She's a beautiful dog, and that looked like a good time, all except having to chain up in the wet snow! Thanks for sharing...

    Well you got me hooked after Colorado trip. Now I'm going to be watching all your other videos. Going to have a slumber party with my cat and your videos. Like I said I'm going through a lot and your videos are inspiring and I really appreciate it. It's helping me in a big way. Thank you again. Fredric. Olympia, WA

    40 yrs in Colorado and you just covered more mountain travel than I have. Thanks for the kick in the pants and the great scenery. Been in the Pike, Lake City and Buena Vista but haven't done those dirt road passes. Gonna have to tune the old YJ up a bit. 😁

    You mentioned the Buddy heater, and what’s great about it is, it burns almost like a catalytic converter and there is almost zero carbon monoxide It burns so completely, there’s just C02 and water as a by product, and it will shut down if C02 gets too high

    I'm a former truck driver so I'm pretty familiar with chains and just fyi those chains are suitable for on road use only. For off road use, v-bar type chains are required for proper effect. Don't get me wrong your chains will still help a bit. I was actually looking at the same brand for my 4Runner's front wheels, because I don't have the clearance to run v-bar chains in the front.

    Great advice! I didn’t show it in the video but I was struggling a bit coming up the grade to the main road. I also did leave the chains on until I came out of the mountains. I would’ve been screwed without them. Thanks for watching!

    The soupy hole was fun, but the bridge made me hold my breath 😲. A trick a friend taught me when starting a fire on wet ground. Put the wood on tinfoil. Ground moisture doesn't penetrate the foil. Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed.

    I just bought the same teardrop RV and have a Jeep to tow it. Did you use a hitch extender? On mine the trailer jack handle wont clear the spare tire. What did you do to hook your trailer to your Jeep hitch?

  • @NowhereBoundAdventures

    @NowhereBoundAdventures

    3 ай бұрын

    That’s a great question. I used a drop down hitch, I think it’s only 2”. It took me a few trips to harbor freight to get it dialed in. I tried an extender as well and figured out that I didn’t need it. I’ll cover this in more detail in a future video soon!

    The snow was just a little too wet, i was hoping it would be a little colder! We had a very mild winter last year.
