4x4 camper Suzuki Carry mini kei truck Fall camping trip.

I packed up for another Kei truck camping trip, this time with the hopes of catching some fish. I do a little off-roading with my mini truck camper, it’s a JDM Suzuki Carry 4WD. I enjoyed traveling and camping out in nature, cooking some good food and doing some fishing. Whatever you have, car, truck or van you can get out and enjoy vehicle camping, spring, summer, fall or winter! Just be respectful of nature and practice packing it in and packing it out. Leave camp sites better then when you found it 👍😊

Watching this video for the 3rd time, and it hit me. Mike is the Bob Ross of the outdoors, calming, smooth, and friendly. He inspires you to slow down and enjolife.

[@Wil_Liam1]

Mikie reminds me so much of my younger self some 30 years back,except hes good looking,musically INclined,while I'm DEclined,and he's a bit more easy going than I was in my latter 20s and 30s... And all them speed racer fools is going to Starbucks to get their mocha chocha frappe grande latte with sprinkles !

[@okatashiyoniku]

I think it's the ultimate light truck solo camping in the midst of magnificent nature. Even in Japan, we can't really do solo camping like this. Is enviable. Just be careful of brown bears.😃

[@aserta]

You can use sodium silicate to "heal" the crack. Just create a dam with a putty around the crack end to end and put a piece of hard plastic over that dam. That plastic should have a place where you can put vacuum on it. The vacuum should be just enough to allow you to put enough suction through the crack for the sodium silicate to go inside the crack as you apply it from the other side (with a brush). Heating the glass with a hair drier beforehand also helps.

[@Liberty4Ever]

I love these videos. Thanks for bringing us along, and I particularly appreciate you setting up the shots so we can see the third person view of you hiking around or the mini truck driving through the woods or on the beach. My Hijet mini truck has been down for almost a month for painting. I painted it outside in October so the days were short and I had a lot of rain and cold weather to dodge. I rolled it with Medium Quartz Gray Monstaliner polyurethane truck bed liner. It looks a lot like your Suzuki. The painting took a lot longer than I thought and I still have some trim to finish underneath. I'll do that late spring when I paint the inside with the third gallon of Monstaliner. I put it all back together today, except for the big plastic front bumper and lights. I sprayed three coats of black Rust-oleum Trim & Bumper paint on the large front bumper today. I'll install that tomorrow. I have lots more on the Mini Truck To Do list, but I'm getting old and I don't get as much done in a day as I did in my 30s or 40s. I keep watching your videos and I'm talking myself into making a foamie fiberglass drop-in camper.

Could not agree with you more regarding everyone in a hurry but I used to be one of them. Always enjoyed your videos with your brother but really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of this video. It was a great change of pace. THANK YOU!

People are impatient. Everything is instant nowadays and it seems to affect people's minds when driving too. I get passed on a double yellow all the time when driving 5 over the speed limit. It's nice to just cruise and enjoy your surroundings.

Enjoyed this one, it’s good to take time for yourself like this.

[@Mikefestiva]

Absolutely!

Its cool that you've found some nature to drive through. I hope you enjoy these places when dozens of people drive thought them. Then hundreds of people, four wheeling' through that sweet sweet nature. I hope to see the look on your face when thousands of people drive through these same rivers you saw fit to drive through! Enjoy!

[@Mikefestiva]

This is a state access for a drift boat launch. There’s no reason to be so rude. Maybe put your time into being less pissed off at others and start enjoying like a little more, as far as we know you only have one life so try to enjoy it.

People who criticise the Suzuki have no idea what they are on about. The great grand daddy of your 4wd Carry was released for sale in Australia around 1974, it was a soft top jeep style utility vehicle powered by a 660 CC 3 cylinder 2 Stroke engine, yes 2 stroke it had an oil tank under the bonnet that needed filling from time to time. The 'serious' 4 wd owners laughed at the tiny little car which sounded like a swarm of angry bees, had a measly 550 pound or so load rating and a cruise speed of 80kmh (50mph). They kept on laughing right up to the point when 4wd was selected and the heavy bulky Toyotas and Nissans of the day would bog down in sand or mud or get stuck on narrow tracks, all the time drinking fuel like no tomorrow. The bastard Suzuki drivers would just drive laps around the bogged Toyotas laughing and beeping their horn. I have total respect for Suzukis, they just do what it says on the packet, with little fuss.

[@DecayWithUs]

[@daryldavis7446]

Mike always enjoy your videos. This isnt about this one but a suggestion about moisture elimination with my plasma cutters as I have more than one. I use point of entry Motorgard filters. They remove all the airline moisture as well as any particles down to 5 microns and the elements are easily replaceable and inexpensive. They remove all the moisture and will greatly extend consumable life.. just a suggestion and I use 2 analog pressure differential gages to determine if the filter element needs changing. Flip

This video was therapeutic! Ironically, I was watching it from work haha - There's a really cool JDM Delica camper for sale near me and this video may have convinced me to get it. Thanks Mike

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video Oliver! Hey I definitely recommend looking into Delica problems First online. They tend to have head gasket issues. The reason I mention this is because I spent two full weeks in September helping a friend swap out a diesel engine in a AWD Mazda Bongo camper van that had complete engine destruction from the owner overheating it on a trip. It was an awful awful job that I never wish Upon another person 😂 I know it was a different manufacturer but those engines are so packed in those vans it’s really hard to work on them. Honestly I’m thinking of getting a little 4x4 Ford Ranger truck ( much Cheaper than a Tacoma) and possibly building a small camper like the one I made for my mini truck for the Ford. Light, easy to build and the fact you can buy parts anywhere when your out on a road trip is important. Take care and I’m glad you enjoyed my video 😊👍

Are bears a concern at this time of year? Living in Tasmania Aus as I do, is about as far from bears as you can get. We do have devils that will come into camp after dark scrounging any scraps or leftovers but they are only as big as your racoons. Noisy little blighters when they"re fighting but altogether harmless. Hearing them crunch kangaroo bones and the like is pretty interesting.
