Winter is coming.. Solo Camping Near Las Vegas

This week I hit the road for a quick solo camp trip off Lovell Canyon Road where I test out a new one pot meal on the Tembo Tusk Skottle!
Lovell Canyon is one of our go to camping areas near Las Vegas ~45 mins away.

    Congratulations on hitting 5k subs! The soft RUK is a cool idea! As for the rear curtain. We have 2 bungee cords on our rear upper D-Rings (like you have) across the window. Then, simply drap a small fleece blanket over the bungee folded in half. When driving, I have another bungee attached to D-Ring top and bottom in the corner rear. Where normally I hang the paper towel on. I just tuck the fleece blanket behind it. Simple and practical. Plus an extra blanket if you need it. 61 degrees....LOL, maybe consider using an electric blanket. Sleep on top of it. Great GFC gave you several choices.

GFC's customer service has been great actually, responded relatively quickly and sent the repair kit out quick. Just got it installed a few days ago and the seam held up all weekend when we were camping so it looks promising! Thanks for watching guys! Much appreciated

    I think you should have added half cup water with the broth to boil the noodles. Then once it’s al dente then you could add the cream, butter, and cheese to mix sauce in. But I’ve done the same while camp cooking Alfredo. I need to hit lovel canyon and do some Camp Pho.

    You should try an black velvet after setting up camp. It depends how you pour it to. It’s liken to making a black and tan except it’s Guinness and champagne. The cheaper the champagne the better. Something like cook’s champagne and Guinness should work. Lately, I’ve been into porters. Coal Porter from Atlantic brewing is a staple. If you can find an imported Norwegian Pilsner they are outstanding.

    @@Kadenventures I forget if its guiness first then champagne but if you pour slowly you should get a good mix. You should also prepare to get very talkative. With champagne one can get very spontaneous and feeling good. So, to have friends around or some festivities its a good drink for these type of scenarios.

    Welcome to Vegas! Glad you guys have been enjoying the channel! We moved here from Alaska about 3 years ago and everytime we tell people there is a ton of camping (winter or summer) they are always so amazed by that lol Since its getting cooler out i'd definitely check out Lake Mead (lots of dispersed camping options out there easy to get to or there are campgrounds you can book ahead of time online if you want to give that a shot first before going dispersed). Since u guys are in Sky Canyon, I'd keep mt Charleston on your list as well (there are lower elevation dispersed spots that dont get as cold) but unfortunately that area is still closed due to the storms a few weeks ago. Check out the channel, I have spots highlighted from a bunch of different areas near town.

    The road doesnt actually end, eventually you will hit a fork in the road that will take you to private properly on the right side but if you go Left, this will take you to a hike called Lovell Canyon Trail, if you continue following the road you'll eventaully make it to Trout Canyon Road which then leads you right back to the highway so its essentially a really big loop around the mountain. I've seen a lot of people biking on Lovell Canyon, I think it would be a great place to bike camp, lots of turn offs and dispersed areas you can set up a tent
