Alone in Montana | Life on the Road in my Truck Camper

In this week's episode, I travel further into the beautiful state of Montana where I get a much needed break. I also do a little fishing, eat some good food, and of course drink plenty of good hot coffee along the way.
Sit back, grab a beer, grab a coffee & enjoy!

I love the music you choose for the background it's so appropriate for the landscape and beautiful scenery. You are one hell of a cook. Either you're secretly a professional chef, or you just have the instincts of one, because you sure know how to make food look good, and taste that way as well I'm sure. Like your casual style, very relaxing, and you seem to incorporate a lot. ABSOLUTELY ❤ your new shell because cooking indoors, much cozier, especially during inclement weather. Enjoy the spots you pick for camping, even the ones that are not isolated. The one fishing near the river is really, really beautiful. What a place to own property. Your nature is diligent so with practice you'll become the fisherman you hope to be. 👍

[@Andrew-ik9wu]

Great channel, man. I live in the area as well and your adventures are inspiring me to get out and see more of it. Exciting to watch. Keep beating that status quo!

Need to get an adapter for the buddy heater so you can use large tank. Alot cheaper

[@puddlerat]

You can buy/ make adapters to refill the small propane bottles with a big bottles… guess you could also just make an adapter to run a buddy heater off a big tank

[@cynthiastarling3106]

When are you going to write a cook book? You're killing me with some of these dishes! :)

[@jodykearney7500]

I enjoy all your videos they take all my worries away at the time when I see your travels so calming have a great week keep up the good work.

What a vibe man! Another beautiful video! Also creeping up on that 100K!! Well deserved!!

[@jessys9868]

I look forward to each of your videos, not only the scenery, but the truck camper life and the cooking! I’m always blown away by the beautiful scenery and the photography. They’re just great!

[@007nadineL]

Check out yt Foresty forest !!!!!!

[@Thomas1954]

You probably know, but there is a hose that can connect your Buddy Heater to the 20 pound propane tanks (or larger ones), and an adapter to refill the one pound Coleman tanks from the 20 pound tanks (or larger ones). Might find a mounting spot on the outside of the camper for the larger tank.

[@barry6484]

Agree, refill the bottles.

[@MrToyFrog]

That or get the hose adapter for the buddy heater and use a 5,10 or 20 pound bottle to fuel it. It's cheaper to fill and less waste in the landfills.

[@CombatDoc54]

He must have a 20 lb. on board he's using his stove with.

[@anthonyc1883]

Yes, please do this.

[@JonnyDIY]

He's could just t into the on board propane tank for the buddy heater until he gets the built in camper heater working. Guess it's down due to the electrical problems.

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

Thank you for taking me to a beautiful place I'd never get to see.

[@MrGottaGo]

Get a 5lb refillable propane bottle. Cost to fill it is the same price as you're paying for one 1lb bottle & better for environment.✌ A Webasto heater install would also be a great idea.

[@austinemery5886]

Suggestion for ur next duty dish clean up- We use a cheap plastic Coleman collapsible sink ( has 2 bins to it) for dirty dishes. I thought it would be meh but it turns out 2 b really convenient. Especially when we add some hot kettle water to it. Have fun out there!

[@davidgriffin14]

Why don't you just hook up your heater to a 20 pound tank so you don't keep using so many little cans?

[@jsking306]

Man, those tacos looked great! Someday, you could turn the camper into a food truck and make a fortune. Thanks for another terrific video.

[@zacharmstrong9352]

Such an inspiration, once I save up enough money and learn the skills I'm going to go on adventures like this one day. Thank you for sharing your experiences. :)

[@nomaderic]

As someone who has been on the road for years now, you dont need to learn skills or save money, just dive in and learn as you go

[@kimbalgoeke7998]

Welcome to Montana Jonathan! You were within a couple of miles of where I live at the beginning of your vid. You cruised through at the perfect time. Full-on snow and cold now! That section of the Yellowstone is a tough river to fish without a boat, or at least waders. Easier accessible good fishing holes going West towards Livingston.

[@thehammah8444]

My dad and I (a LONG time ago) taught each other how to fly fish.... don't get discouraged you will get good at it.

[@Skaggs510]

I agree on the idea of buying a adapter to refill your own small containers. Just don't tell us your doing it or the Karen's will freak out about how you shouldn't refill them. Also they do sell hose adapters so you could use the campers propane system.

[@eucbros9235]

after your done with your ramen just add rice to the broth and boom best thing ever!

[@radstayathomedad9178]

I was disappointed no Woo with the coffee?! I think you should do a compilation of woo’s from your morning coffees and post it as a short.. also keep up with the fly fishing. Don’t be disappointed about the lack of the catch it’s not always catching the fish but the fishing itself that makes it fun and relaxing. I am sure you know that already though. I am trying to teach this to my 5 and 8 year old sons and that fishing takes patience also. Thanks as always for making artistic videos. So many KZbinrs just throw videos together but yours show true filmmaking art.

[@jennysmith3631]

Beautiful! The scenery is awesome! Thank you for sharing. When I was younger, I went horseback riding in the Grand Tetons. It was so beautiful, and I did not want to leave.👏❤️

Great channel. Very fun stuff, you make me forget the troubles in my own life.

[@Thomas1954]

Try dropping your fly on the downstream side of those rocks, into the eddy currents where they get loads of oxygen and wait for the buffet to float past them. Polarized sunglasses reduce that glare off the water.

[@fosback13245]

Great video!! Nice camper !!

[@dt719]

Great video. Love that Bigfoot camper.

[@JuliusPlissken]

Man, I can almost guarantee you will have more luck nymph fly fishing in those temps. It's pretty tough to time a hatch just right for dry flies this time of year, especially in Montana.

[@paulg492]

Fire up the built in furnace that came with the camper. Check for leaks with soapy water, blow out the dust. Way more economical and probably puts out more btu's than that toy heater.

[@kalanbunch7023]

Dude get rid of the Mr.Buddy and get a diesel heater. I live in Bozeman and I've been in a truck camper for 6 years. I used a Vevor 5Kw in my truck camper. I now live in a 38 foot toy hauler and use a 8kw and it keeps my place at 77 degrees and burns about a quarter gal of diesel a day if I run it for 8-10 hrs a day on med. And its been cold lately but not as cold as its going to get.Its a dry heat so you don't have to worry about condensation. Trust me they are great. Also good going with the channel. I watch from time to time.

[@downbytheriver501]

You’re in my neck of the woods. Those mountains look familiar! Cheers from a fellow youtubin, full timin, northern lite rockin truck camperer. Also, get yourself a filter and a hose so you can run a 20lb cylinder for your buddy heater. I do the same thing in the winter. The 20lb tank will last about a week and a half in the Montana winter.

A brown nymph with an orange ring around the neck will catch trout anywhere in MT or ID this time of year. Dry flies are tougher because theres no hatch going on in the snow. Good luck and great videos!

[@JonnyDIY]

PS- the rodents will nest in air filter box on that truck. I have same one but 3.4l. I have a video on my page about it. I just installed metal mesh over intake tube. They can also get in through the fresh air intake vent holes under the black cover below wipers. Thats probably how he got in. Unless he just jumped in when door was open

Rice-a-Roni is a great staple. As a kid my Mom would make it the main course by putting ground beef into it, and then serving some veggies on the side. I make a really cheap version with fried white rice, broccoli, carrots, and ground beef or chicken and some spice...leftovers even freeze well.

[@pattijohnson8197]

Nice video! I've never been to Montana. Have your tried the R-a-R Spanish Rice? You add a can of diced tomatoes to it. I use the green pepper and onion kind. It's terrific with pork chops or fish. P.S. I'm in NW Florida and it's supposed to be 40° tonight. Brrrr
