That’s so funny, you’re the king of being over-prepared for everything and you end up going into this one winging it and sleeping in a truck bed coffin 😂

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@sempergumbie]

Hey everyone, thank you for watching and joining Brian and I (and Hoku) for my visit to the LBJ Grasslands! Hopefully next year we can get some of our subscribers (both channels) to come along and join us!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GSXinTX]

For the naming of the event, maybe a combo of your channel names... Semper Outdoors either way it would be cool experience.

[@jdtallant3751]

The bird was a Whippoorwill. Growing up in rural north east texas i would listen to them at night. The fire ants and the loss of habitat to urban sprawl has hurt their population. Im glad to hear one and could listen to them for hours.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@labigator]

It's a chuck will's widow. A whippoorwill sounds different. They are often mistaken for a whippoorwill.

[@georgewacaser4559]

Totally awesome video men ! And Hoku gets more air time on Brian's channel than she does on Ben's ! Such a sweet, beautiful doggy.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

😂😂👍🏻

[@blacktruckadventures]

Enjoyed spending the day with y’all! Definitely will be an annual event!. See ya next year!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Steve! Have fun out there before it gets too hot🔥🔥

[@sempergumbie]

Steve, thanks for tuning in! Have a great time camping as well! Hope to see you out there sometime!

I have tried several freeze dried meals and I find the Peak are real the best I have tried.

[@sempergumbie]

The peach cobbler was off the hook!

[@kfvernon73]

I had no idea about that area. I will make sure I plan an extra day next time I'm visiting my daughter in Flower Mound.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@sempergumbie]

It was a great area! Maybe we will see you next year on my yearly visit!

[@gilg2560]

Great video! I know you said that you didn’t want a topper or a roof top tent,but maybe you should look into soft topper. It can be removed in seconds.

[@SuziPoozi]

Oh Brian, all that room in your truck and no extra blankets. 🥺 Hopefully you pack an extra from now on. I use a weather app called Weather Bug and I love it! In the PNW (WA State for me), you're dealing with a lot of drastic high and low temps due to the coastal and mountain climates or eastern side high desert, so I'm in the habit of checking the weather to dress accordingly. I really recommend it for where you live because it has a lightning map with warnings and real time radar that you can track storms. It gives pretty much all weather warnings as well and is pretty accurate. You should give it a try, you can check the highs and lows so you can pack the right gear and be better prepared. You can never have too many blankets. 😉 Loved the colab!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Suzi! Just “bought” that app…or paid the $10/yr. Looks like a nice one….in especially like the wind data. I’ll use that a lot for towing the RV👍🏻

[@SuziPoozi]

@@BrianWatersOutdoors I didn't have to pay for the app, but I have an Android phone. I'm guessing since you paid for it, you'll probably have features I don't have. I'm glad you got it, I used it constantly.

[@sempergumbie]

I had some extra blankets as well, but it got soaked from the rain, luckily I had the extra rain jacket. We faired okay and made it thru the night!

Sounds great👍🏻👍🏻

Matt, Im in TN, maybe we will hook uo sometime! I head to Land Between The Lakes as well!

[@OverlandandOutdoorPursuits]

Your other option since you already have the Roof Top Tent is to have gotten a ReTrax Toper with T-rail slots so you could put a rack and your tent on.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@sempergumbie]

He's alrady headed in that direction again! LOL

[@harleymax01]

Someone like myself who only makes $30,000 a year. I could not even come close to do this but it sure is fun to watch. Great video! Thanks for doing these videos.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻

[@sempergumbie]

Harley, you can camp on a budget, 300.00 you would be able to get a tent and some equipment from walmart. We all started that way. If you need any suggestions, feel free to ask bud.

[@Mrjusbofficial]

You have so many gadgets you could literally post a video everyday💯

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

lol👍🏻👍🏻

[@sempergumbie]

Yes I LOVE yum yum sauce!

[@brianrogers5327]

Missed a few episodes What are plans for new truck campershell or something else really cool

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Not doing a camper shell. If anything I’ll do another rooftop tent. I’m not a big fan of camper shells anyways.

[@CraigG21]

It’s the annual “North Texas Peach Cobbler HailFest Camp Out”.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@Captain-Awesome]

You need the app Radar Scope, you will be able to see exactly where and when the hail is coming. I live in the Dallas area.

Can’t beat a good street taco, for me it’s corn tortilla steak onion and cilantro, done!!!!!! Everything else is basically Taco Bell🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cool video buddy 😎👍🏻👍🏻

I’m going to say the Matress will help keep you warm. But a real sleeping bag would be better 😊

Hey Brian are you going to put the roof top tent on your new truck

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

No, no plans right now for that

[@sersan1317]

It's great to show people you don't need a lot of gear to enjoy camping. Did you do that on purpose?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Not on purpose, I just don’t have my gear anymore

[@brianrogers5327]

Did yall like rooftop better than campershell

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I did. I prefer the RTT over my camper shell

[@LiveWellUkraine]

Hey Brian, how is the taste of that water from your plastic water can. Everyone I have ever tried has a strong plastic taste.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I haven’t noticed any bad taste at all. I thought I would have, but it’s been good👍🏻

[@wysiwyg0]

Is there any ventilation when sleeping underneath the tonneau cover or do you leave it slightly cracked open for air?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I kept it slightly cracked. But even if you don’t, it’s not 100% sealed inside there. There’s gaps where the tailgate closes

[@bbqbandit3453]

Brian, quick Bluetti question. I have an AC240 with B210 expansion. I will be operating a refrigerator cooler on this camp trip which has A/C or D/C capability. Is one better to maximize battery?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

D/C is way more efficient. Just to run the a/c inverter takes more power just to keep the inverter running. Plus, you’re essentially converting dc to ac back to dc. So, just go straight dc connection to your cooler👍🏻

[@jamijo203]

Can you not just put your old tent and frame on top of your new bed or is it different dimensions?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

No. Don’t have a way to mount the rack. But working on it now😉

[@jamijo203]

@@BrianWatersOutdoors oh thats too bad, excited to see your next set-up!

[@benniematthews5260]

What happened to your rooftop tent.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Had to sell it when I got my new truck. Still deciding on which direction I want to go on this new setup. Leaning toward a small/micro camper type thing

[@sempergumbie]

I LOVE THAT NAME!!!!!!

[@benniematthews5260]

That's a shame. After you put so much time into your setup you have to start over

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It’s the fun thing about it. I sold most of the stuff so have some cash to start building my new setup with a different style rooftop tent to try👍🏻👍🏻
