Solo camping just means that you basically have to do everything by yourself which doesn’t sound that bad but you will realize quickly you’re on your own cooking, cleaning, setting everything up, breaking it down. Secondly in my case I make sure to always keep a remote hole punching device (aka fire @rm) on me at all times in case bears or something larger than you comes up. And lastly is it’s not as fun. You don’t have that time sitting around the fires with the buddies. I will say I like both. Sometimes with work and trying to grow a KZread channel I just need to get out there and have time to think on my own.

Lift is a bit of a hodgepodge at this point but it went from mostly icon to mostly bilstein set up but with SPC upper control arms, highly recommended the uppers. Tire size in this video was 285/70/17 but the reason the bumper was in the trunk was because I was switching up the bumper so I could run 305/70/17s which I am currently running.

Yeah I listened to subscribers, I love listening to music when I watch these videos so I’m glad people gave me feedback as to what they wanted, seems overwhelmingly like the no music thing was preferred!

Doesn't your diesel heater controller have a built-in Thermostat? If so, shouldn't you have it in the RTT with you to control the RTT temp? If not, how does your heater regulate what temperature to maintain? Or does your simply run max power all night long? I have a similar heater (the version with the fuel tank on the side), and I extended the wiring on the controller so that I can bring it in the RTT, then set a comfortable temperature, and the heater does a good job maintaining that throughout the night. It's more efficient too, as the heater goes on low power mode once the desired temp has been reached, and will only kick back to high when maintaining the heat.

Some of them say they have temperature controls but they don’t really work like that. The settings it has are just power settings and timer settings.

@OXFOOT

It can run at a bunch of different settings either the whole night or as long as you set the timer.

Awesome film, I gotta ask did that diesel heater come with the wheel attachment or did you buy separately? And which heater is that, thanks man !

1:46 you almost ran over your shovel @OXFOOT. Have you thought about using a Long bungee to put on tent to snug it in so you don't have to fold the sides of the tent in when closing it? Or would it be tooooo cold for the bungee to bungee? Wouldn't mind seeing one of your DIY cover for your heater to keep snow & rain off of it.

There was a bungee attached to it when I bought the tent but I don’t know what I did with it. It actually kind of interfered with the tent entrance so I ditched it.

What model mountain hardware jacket are you wearing in the beginning?

It’s called the “stretch down hoody” in golden brown. I really like it but this was my first time wearing it and it’s more of a cold but dry weather hoody. Stays warm but not sure how waterproof it is.

How did the diesel not freeze? What was the temp with all the snow?

There’s different fuels you can run to keep it from gelling. Kerosene and also a mixture of the two.

I'd like to see more of the cooking and the result, no talking and I definitely sleep in the car hence no heater required and the car is big enough

I was parked on a hill so I parked on the rocks to make it a bit more level.

Curious as to why you parked on top of two rocks on the passenger side?

@OXFOOT

The ground there was unlevel so I used the rocks the make it higher on that side so I could sleep in a level rooftop tent.

Wouldn't it be better to connect the trucks exhaust directly to your tent via hose for more efficient heating?
