4x4 camper mini Kei truck [Winter snow car camping]

[@Mikefestiva]

Here’s a few other mini truck videos you probably will like 👍 Here’s a video from my brother with the Honda kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn_PqXR6hr-haZo Here’s another camping video I made recently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWHSoYqof5yVfM0 Many more on my channel as well 😊👍

[@michaelmoore9139]

Awesome! thx!

[@Grey_Beard72]

Keep checking around glass places. A good glass guy can take the current windshield and make you a new one. I've seen them add just enough heat to melt the new glass just enough to lay on the old one and match the curve of it. If it is really flat, that's even easier.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Just ordered an Acty because of you! You the man!

[@Mikefestiva]

I think you will like it 👍

[@coolfrost6]

Just finished watching "Drew Builds Stuff" and his tiny snowmobile camper and now this pops up I guess snow 🌨 camping is today's theme 😁❄️

[@redles4212]

I just watched that video too, lol

[@andywagoner4869]

Whoah, me too!!

[@karlegilnylen1669]

Love the trucks. Maybe if you added some hooks or D-rings on the side of both trucks, you could span a tarp between them when camping. Gives you a dry spot in bad weather. Keep the videos coming.

[@WoodsPrecisionArms]

NOW THATS proper off roading/camping. No one utilizes the mini truck/van they are so much better than UTV’S and getting to be out in snow - I’m holy jealous lol

[@ChrisWilliams-pu8pj]

Thank you Mike! Nice to watch something devoid of current issues!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Chris 😊 I hear you on that man. Have a great weekend 👍

[@richsharp1524]

Haven’t even watched it yet. But can’t wait to see what you got for us Mike. Just getting started. Thanks for making it a complete Friday for me 😊

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Rich! I appreciate it 😊

[@kobibr9362]

I have always thought if you got one of these trucks stuck, you would just lift it one handed like a sofa 😂

[@BryanNichols]

Thanks, Mike. Always look forward to your videos 👍. Don't worry about the haters... just send it!

[@kazumi·Inoue5043]

言葉は日本人なのでわからないけど、この旅は面白い。日本の軽トラック最高だ😂

[@chongtak]

日本の軽トラック最高だ Yes!!! ♥

[@mattcasoni]

I love this truck. The green is awesome . Totally badass. Beautiful camping. Sorry to see the windshield cracked. These things are so tough and nimble. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Matt 😊👍

[@geoffburrill9850]

Here in Britain we rarely get any snow and when it does we just can't cope. I've said this before, those campers are very capable in any condition.

[@davidhouse5920]

These trucks are too cool for words, I have a Suzuki carry and you’ve inspired me. Nice video

[@flx6470]

These tiny trucks are so cool. I would love to build one myself. At the moment with a family this would be too unpractical, so in the meantime i will gladly watch more of your videos and participate in this manner. 😊

[@errolfoster1101]

I have never camped in the snow we don't get all that much in Australia but you look like your having a great time I'm jealous

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video! Hopefully we can get another snow camping trip in before the weather warms up again. Take care 😊

[@vedaandchristyruiz9872]

Great glimpse into your weekend after work. Love the rugged terrain, problem solving, and passing down life experiences to a young man. I am hoping to get a Kei truck in the near future. Your videos show the great possibilities. Thank you Mike.

[@DecayWithUs]

Do you remember the little baggie I found on my dash when I was "fixing" my windshield with WD40 and superglue? That bag of garlic reminds me of that 😆 (sorry about your windshield RIP) Looks like fun times man, and you didn't even have to play forest janitor! Great vid, thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@Mikefestiva]

Haha yes I remember your video 😂👍

[@gerikbensing]

I wisely drove under a forest road train bridge that was re-stoning and got multiple cracks on my windshield due to the golf ball sized rocks raining down on me. I ended up having a nice line that worked its way out and I was able to stop its progress with Rain-X's stuff (Permatex is probably just as good). You need to really work the fluid into the crack by *carefully* pressing on the glass to get it to seep down in. Ideally you do this inside/out of the light to prevent pre-mature curing. It's important to then use those clear films they give you to lay over the crack line (I cut mine down thin so I had enough). That film somehow activates the fluid with sunlight to cure. I did this back in September or so and the cracks haven't progressed at all through the winter.

[@FreddyFunderbunz]

Reminds me of going camping with my Suzuki Samurai. Camp at night, ride the mountain and drink beer all day

[@Kbrusky15]

I grew up in Kitsap and live I Spokane now. Moving back in the next year or so and these videos definitely make me miss home.

[@Ezekiel-OffRoad]

Not gunna lie I’m kinda envious of your guys setup my Chevy Tracker is a little to small for winter camping. My favorite thing to do with my son is to go over landing on weekends and explore Michigans national forest. We just bring hammocks and a tent in case it rains. It’s funny my sons more excited for spring than me he asks me at least once a week if it’s morel mushroom season yet. I watch your brothers channel too and heard him mention mushroom hunting it’d be cool to see some content doing that.

[@tofemaster]

Man I hope Hobo Dave appreciates your use of his music for these videos as much as I do. Bravo !!

[@seabeepirate]

Man I’m jealous! Soon enough I’ll have room for these kind of projects too.

[@_autoverse]

Watched Andy’s vid prior to yours, shows you’re really getting the most out of these trucks and the camper boxes.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out our videos! I really do appreciate it 👍😊 we have been really enjoying these mini campers.

[@michaelmoore9139]

Thanks for sharing the adventure. I love the simplicity and ingenuity of your camper builds!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks man 😊👍

[@thomasd9237]

👍👍 those trucks are very cool. Wish they had more upfront room for my two pups

[@saintsinner6195]

They make them in 4 door.

[@cathy4800]

The snow coming down at the higher elevations was so beautiful! Pretty adventurous headin up those roads in the dark with the threat of trees downing or washouts in a bad spot..but you guys seem to think things out pretty well, I'll say!

[@machinist5828]

Thanks for taking us along Mike! Cheers Terry

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video Terry 😊

[@daveharvey5764]

FYI. I helped one of my camping buddies with a 1990 mini truck overland build. he Pulls a home built teardrop camper with it. Just an Idea you might want to venture into someday.

[@acuraintegrar5]

Great vid Mike!! I still cant get over how capable these trucks are!! Really makes me want to build one, im starting to see them around my area now!

[@nonameyhea6123]

id bring a large tarp if I was you and attach it in between both trucks next time to make like a canopy to chill under

[@danielkoerner7127]

Another great video, like the PNW scenery and background tunes too. Sorry to see your windshield damage, if the DIY doesn't work, should be able to get a professional shop to do the stop drill and fill trick. All the best, thanks!

[@Tofu_Slayer]

I love the kei truck camping videos. Now I want one except the kei van. I dont have space to build a camper

[@Mikefestiva]

The vans are really cool as well, 👍 I want a van too but i have enough vehicles 😂

[@Tanadaear]

Just loving the campers. Got an Acty coming in a month or so and seriously considering a camper build

[@apollo280zx]

This new series of Kei camping videos with your brother is so good! Smart call on heading to a lower elevation. Getting rigs unstuck in snow is such a drag. So bummed about your window! Maybe MCW can get you a replacement? Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed this one!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video Dan! The window is a bummer, I knew it was going to happen at some point, I just was hoping it wasn’t for many more years. I will call around some parts houses this spring and see if I can track one down. Take care buddy 😊👍

[@051biohaz]

Looks like those little campers were totally worth the time to build, awesome addition to a fun little vehicle…thanks for the upload dude..:)

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video 😊👍

[@nicynu6202]

a little tip for stopping a windscreen crack growing, I drill a small hole at the very end of the crack using a Dremel, then fill it with the windscreen repair glue. Works well but doesn't help when you're out bush unless you bring the Dremel.

[@dkdinstruments2370]

YES ....that works...so many dont know this trick. I did this on a crack and it lasted YEARS and did not spread. Where did you learn it from? I use a small carbide drill bit ( get cheap usd ones ebay ...Circuit Brd drills) and just drill by hand until I reach the plastic layer between to to sheets of glass ( safety glass), It goes fast ..no dremel needed.

[@1rustytree]

You guys sure know how to avoid the crowds when you go camping Mike!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video👍 Yep it’s nice to get off the beaten path 😊

[@johnnywishbone932]

I wish I had one of these trucks with that set up. I so regret buying a RZR. The RZR is fun but laws here limit the use and the hurricane wrecked a lot of the trails making in even more restrictive. You guys need some FRS radios or CBs while rolling and trying to communicate. Love the content and the music. Much luv ✝️❤️🇨🇦.

[@black_widow_overland]

Man.. such cool little campers. Think it'd be cool to add a tarp awning out back so you can cook on the tailgate and be put of the rain/snow. Great content. Safe travels

[@weseiseman5602]

Oh God, I was waiting weeks for this. Ty for the upload. Got some Sleet over the night, I see.

[@craign5616]

Really enjoy watching your adventures. Looks like you need a canopy rigged up off the back of the camper. Thanks for the great content.

[@Midlife_mike]

Epic video dude! Glad you’re addressing some of the idiots who are trying to pick faults and so called design flaws in the builds by people who haven’t built anything in their lives. Trucks look amazing you’ve inspired me to make a camper box for the back of my Acty. Love the videos keep up the good work from Mike in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Uk

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Michael! I really appreciate your comment. You definitely should build a camper! My friend got so excited about our mini campers he started building one for his small Ford Ranger, it’s turning out pretty cool.

[@fredmartinez933]

Thank you for share your winter camping adventure 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@kirbythomas5468]

Mike I was just watching another KZbin channel and Ants Pants was giving you some props 👍he referred to you as the god of welding! I tend to agree too!

[@Mikefestiva]

Yes Ants is great 👍 I really like his videos. I think we have been subscribed to each other’s channels for the past 7 or 8 years. We both built DIY sawmills years ago, that’s how we came across each other’s channels 😊👍

[@mikemaninger67]

Your videos are fun to watch. Very cool that you, your brother and nephew get to run together! Keep the videos coming. I also really like your welding videos.

[@Mikefestiva]

Right on thanks Mike 😊👍

[@yeegg566]

keep this series alive i love this

[@medvedsensei]

I love the idea of using 4x4 Kei truck. Thinking about doing the same. Sadly there are no such truck sold in my country, only way is to get a recondition one from Japan with higher cost than buying a brand new D-max.

[@allanperryman388]

It was great to see you guys! Cheers 🍻

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Allan! 😊👍

[@xa9131]

Love your guys rigs!!! Simple is what I love about them…

[@rodneyyoung8096]

A Panama surfing vehicle for sure. Lodging up the surfboards and scuba gear. Spearfishing 👍 Get you some of that babu

[@mattshaffer8858]

I like the setup but thinking a small canopy/awning would be a good addition. Enjoying the videos.

[@pfarraldcash6095]

These mini trucks are really fascinating vehicles. 👍

[@NOAH_HINMAN]

i love these camping videos keep them coming

[@Beardinc]

I use a Milwaukee electric chainsaw with vegetable oil. If she ever leaks there isn't a Petro smell so thats a bonus 😁 Enjoying these lil camper adventures 🤙

[@PhillipTorrickeBarton]

Snow chains! They make a world of difference. They are easy to get over here in Japan but might be hard to get the right size in the states.

[@Mikefestiva]

Yes definitely 😊👍 My brother bought a set recently, I still need to go buy some. I have been looking at some stores that sell used sets but haven’t found the right size yet.

[@fowl_fanatics_509]

Hey Mike a little hint I have for you about that crack in the window... take a razor blade and start at the end of the crack...and scrape the window with it and curve it around and back to the edge of the glass towards the passenger side and if the window continues to crack it will follow the scratch you made instead of go across the window. Keep up the awesome content man, my step father in law are really wanting a mini truck now. We live in Kennewick Washington. You and your brother are awesome...

[@deerslayer4331]

you can drill a little hole thru half the windshield at the end of the crack and it will stop it from spreading then use some of your crack sealer in it.

[@jeffhabjinski5848]

Great video. Love the chill vibe with the music choice. You guys need some mini awnings!

[@randyneil6161]

Great Adventure driving through the snow. I sure you slept nice and warn with your diesel heater

[@c.mikelongo6628]

Like the new plow truck

[@bigcoltv]

Great video once again Mike...👍 You need to add a bracket to that tailgate to drop a big fishing brolli into, keep the rain off for cooking and brewing up ....

[@mammut1291]

Perfect video to start the weekend, nice cozy camper you got there. Maybe you could mount a box on top of the bumper for the chainsaw.

[@normanwoodhead6982]

Absolutely love your mini truck videos. Looks like great fun winter camping.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Norman! I appreciate it 😊

[@joell439]

The adventures keep getting more exciting. Thanks Mike for the ride-a-long. Bummer about the windshield. Since they are not available at every glass shop, I wonder if there is room in the cab to keep a glass repair kit on hand? Hear the telltale sound of the rock impact, pull over, then inspect and repair if needed before it gets a chance to grow. All the best to you and your brother (and his camera assistant 🙂). 👍👍😎👍👍

[@tomedgar4375]

Love what you have done with your trucks

[@barryslart2929]

Man, I'm jealous of your camper and your adventures. You should make a rear awning, aluminum frame that rolls out to protect when you're cooking outside the back of your truck. Would be really cool build video...

[@TheGraytOutdoors]

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching these little machines doing their thing. I’ve always been a fan of the “Underdogs”. I’d love to have one. Need to check my local laws here in Virginia and see if they’re “allowed” in the area. But!! Carry on guys, love the videos!!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks man I really appreciate it! Hopefully they can be used on the streets your state. 😊

[@rainmaker3700]

I love the sound of those motors! LOL

[@donaldhalls2189]

Yous need a big skies put on the front so you can skie them through 😅🤣 look like fun little rigs, looks like yous had a blast, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@thomasbailey8306]

Looks like Alot of Fun. Great Video Mike ..

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Thomas! 👍😊

[@duane3897]

Enjoy your videos. I drive a stock Samurai 2WD everyday to work and I enjoy it. I think you put out great content AND are out doing things and thank you for sharing!

[@devisionhun]

Love these campers! My only fear would be someone closing the tailgate while I’m inside 😂 (And maybe rainwater just stacking a foot hight on the roof… 😅)

[@Mizz.Person]

That pasta sounded awesome! I love smoked salmon! 1st video of yours to watch. Thanks for sharing! I have a mini firetruck and want to do some fun stuff with it eventually. The back part is unbolts, and it would be great to put a little camper on the back! :) Cheers! Feom Canada! 🇨🇦

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my video! I have more covering these little trucks 👍 is your mini a Honda or Suzuki?

[@stephanelachance6195]

I like theses little trucks so much. Thanks guys and take care.

[@patshes1951]

Those are such fun vehicles and you can do a lot with them. I am so sorry we never got the 4x4 models here in South Africa . For sure I would have had one.

[@dougtravins9624]

And a good time was had by all! Fun stuff Mike

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Doug 😊👍

[@Newfieguy]

Great video. Here in Newfoundland Canada some people put atv tires on those trucks and snow tracks for side by sides. Cheers

[@08Barclay]

Might want to check out “Kelly Kettles” my go to for camping here in B.C.’s interior. Boiling water in around 6 minutes and a small stove when the waters boiled. A really good and compact piece of kit. Works well for canoe or truck camping.

[@Farm_fab]

Mike, if you rub dish soap on the bottom and side of your pans, it helps to keep the pans from sooting up on the outside as the soot just clings to the soap.

[@Farm_fab]

@GeraldUndone. Take that truck and park it on the moon, SCAMMER!

[@Mikefestiva]

@Farm_fab I have been blocking scammers almost daily, I would never ask anyone to text me or free giveaways.

[@jonmarshall1502]

Really enjoying these videos you and your brother are doing. Very calming to watch.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks Jon 😊

[@KK19825]

Really great video again. Love that you got so much variety in your videos, workshop/technical stuff and camping trips and minibikes. Keep up the good work, I never miss any of your videos.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks 😊 I really appreciate it 👍

[@TheRMcKShow]

Love the mini truck videos I’m planning on doing something like this for the summer on my channel good old fishing rig !!

[@Swamp-Fox]

Enjoyed the trip! I love your mini-truck campers! Sorry about the windshield.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video! Yes the windshield was a bummer but that’s how it go sometimes. I’m looking forward to getting back out camping again soon. 👍

[@coldfiredog]

Another great video Mike. Thanks and keep ‘‘em coming.

[@rebelarcher5450]

I love these trucks , if i owned one i would try for some wider deep dish rims to be able to fit a wider tyre and then fit some of the rubber strip type jungle flares to help mitigate the wheel splash from the wider tyres . Would possibly try and fabricate / modify an engine bash guard / plate to bolt on under the engine , might help to stop plowing into the snow also . It's a shame Suzuki hasn't tried to develop a 1.3L turbo diesel to bolt into their 4x4 range .

[@matthewXL]

Oooohhh fancy pants beers. Spoke too soon. Fancy din din toooooo

[@grousehunter67]

That smoked salmon looked tasty Mike ! nice little trip

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video Steve 😊👍

[@MrFrance97]

Those kei trucks are pretty capable!! Impressive how it just cuts through snow. Gotta ask do you have a 2nd exit on your camper. I can imagine someone closing the gate and locking you in.

[@davidhelgeson6997]

yes their is a small door up front that you could get out of

[@deality]

That's definitely possible but you can still get out

[@farhanahmad719]

Seriously a nice video it was like camping with you guys over there

[@aghauler1964]

Thank you for sharing Your adventures.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video David! 😊👍

[@naporeon]

Once again, I love these trucks and am incredibly impressed with the campers. Out of curiosity, is that spot you're at around 19:40 on NF-2938, off Cooper Ranch? If so, I love that spot!

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Dude, you have beautiful trees out there. Such a pretty place to live.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video Jon! Definitely some nice evergreens 🌲 out here!

[@turbogrin]

Way too much fun! You might need a canopy for the back to keep the rain and snow off your tail gate

[@jaysilver4670]

I've only seen a couple of your videos, but I think they're great. You guys built the perfect campers for "you". Anyone that has comment on what you should've done, probably hasn't built too much stuff. Random question for you though, which truck do you like better? The Honda or the Suzuki?

[@mateden912]

You live in the most beautiful place, id love to take my 4wd in the snow. Don't get much snow where i live in Australia.

[@rogerparsons5148]

I found the Ryobi 40 VDC chain saw worked better than my gas burner. And you don't have to deal with the gas.

[@timothywilliams2021]

You should build a trailer next. That way you can haul your toys and camper. As a side benefit you'd have more build content for your channel. The Washington DOT inspection isn't a big deal if you do your homework and bring receipts. I've built a few trailers and vehicles here and never had a problem.

[@mongowilson]

Looks like so much fun. I would love to build a camper and truck like that.
