Solo Colorado 4Runner Camping 2024E3

[@RaptorPackAdventures]

Just found your video surfing the Tube. Finding a campfire still smoking is so upsetting anywhere. We find them a lot. Put your damn fire out. Great video by the way

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Thanks, glad you liked the video. Drives me nuts finding a still smoldering fire. One of the reasons I always carry plenty of water.

[@pvpixelarts]

Another wonderful and soothing video Noah. The campsite looked amazing to me especially with the water stream around. Yes, got myself the Dometic with faucet from REI sale too. I always wondered how you do the prep work before you head out for the camping. Might be interesting to watch. Plus how to find good campsites will help for newbies. Looking forward to your next video soon.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Was certainly a good deal from REI. Not a bad idea showing how I prep. Because my 4Runner is not my daily driver, I actually try to keep most things in it at all times to keep prep time low.

[@hittinpure1]

great vid! question....safe to keep refrig in car during bear season? let me know curious, thank you!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Probably not. I’ve never had an issue, but I always have a weapon with me just in case

[@Jimsranch]

Grumpy, just noticed you have a 'patch' on the hood scoop - which one did you buy? I have a white 4R and know it would help a lot.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Jim - I just bought a sheet of vinyl and cut it myself. Didn't do such a great job and have to redo it. Think I might do more coverage and do a color next time.

Grumpy, another great video. Thanks for taking us up to the woods yet again. I really needed to mentally get away and you did all the work. No scenic views at this site but it looked cozy with the creek. I can’t believe the fire was still smoldering when you arrived. And with all that water just steps away. Looking forward to your next trip. And get some sun on those pale legs brother! Take care, Noah. -JOSH

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Glad you enjoyed the video Josh. And yes, I really need some sun on my legs!

Where were you??? 2:53 Looks like Weston pass. MAN I Need a ROAD TRIP! the Mountains are CALLING! OMG!!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Yes, it's Weston. Love that place!

Noah, The Grumpy Gobbler and Smokey The Bear. It's so disturbing and difficult to understand how the campers before you could leave a hot fire pit when there was a creek only twenty feet away. People... Nice video and thanks for sharing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

LOL! Time for a new logo with a turkey and a bear.

Thanks for the video my friend! Next weekend I’m checking out the Pueblo Reservoir and a dispersed camping area nearby. First I have to change out my 4Runner lower control arms that are shot. I love my 4Runner for sure.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Bummer about your lower control arms Lenny. Hope you get them done so you can go out next weekend and you have a great time.

[@Lenny_Chan64]

@@TheGrumpyGobbler all part of owning an off-road vehicle my friend. We might not do rock-crawling, but the roads and trails we enjoy eventually take a toll. I should be up and running this week with my new heavy duty Freedom Off-road lower control arms.

[@BuckeyeNut64]

Nice video! You seem to be getting more comfortable speaking to the audience which is more engaging. We landed in a spot in Pike NF for a 1-nighter this weekend and saw your rig at the Snowpack on Sunday. Great pizza and suds (a good bourbon selection, too) Keep em coming! 🎥

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Glad you liked it. I always feel strange talking to the camera as I just ramble and don't make too much sense sometimes, but thanks for noticing that I am getting more comfortable. Hope you had a nice spot in Pike. Yes, love Snowpack...maybe a little too much. If you ever see me there, feel free to come and say hi. Were you in a built up Lexus by chance?

[@BuckeyeNut64]

@@TheGrumpyGobbler will do! Negative on the Lexus. Left the dusty 4R at home in favor of the acceleration of the Tesla needed to turn left out of KV and left out of Snowpack on a summer Sunday.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

@@BuckeyeNut64 Totally get it, risking my life every time I turn left out of KV with my 4Runner.

[@stevescramo592]

What was that fire starter torch you used to start the fire? Link to it if possible?

[@Treetopflyer777]

It’s always a good day when I wake up to a YT notification saying there’s a new GG video out!! Beautiful spot! I’m eternally envious at having endless pick-your-own camping spots in some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable. For me around here, it’s pay $60 a night to be squashed in between a 100 RVs… Btw love that Dometic. It’s the best. One thing that I found incredibly helpful was adding a 3’ silicone tube to it to give me a bit more usability with the faucet. If it helps, the 1/4” /6mm ID silicone tube is the correct size. I got it on Amazon and it’s vastly improved the usability of it. Love the video as always Noah!!!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

I am certainly lucky to live here Tom, I feel for you brother having no good place to go that's close. Great idea about the tubing, I just ordered some.

[@Treetopflyer777]

@@TheGrumpyGobbler I suppose busy provincial parks are better than nothing. Just means I need to do at least one good road trip a year. 😊 Good call on the tubing.makes a big difference. Cheers!🍻

[@darrensmall4313]

Hey Noah! Great video. I was just up there last weekend, up at the top area. Wonderful place but getting popular. Very peaceful and i don't think life gets any better. I can't believe someone left the fire smoldering! Especially right next to the creek! Thankfully you came along. Take care and thanks!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Hey Darren, glad you liked the video. I am concerned that it's getting more popular up there, I see more and more people every time I go. Hopefully it doesn't get like Geneva. I think I'm going up tomorrow (Friday). I might even stay Saturday as well. Take care and happy camping

[@outdoornexus]

That’s a nice spot!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Yes, it was. Going back for sure.

[@FuzzyDogProductions385]

That is definitely where I would want to hang out! Perfect spot. Always a great set up!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

It was! I do love my setup for sure.

[@fotobd]

Thanks for taking us along Noah, and hell yeah on the Sun Fade! Planning to search for some tomorrow!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

I always get really happy when I stop by the local liquor store and find Sun Fade, one of the best things about summer. Hope you find some Brent.

@@TheGrumpyGobbler Found it, grabbed two 4-packs... should have grabbed more...:)

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

@@fotobd Good! I always regret not getting more 🙂

[@grizzbuck]

Pretty peaceful looking spot. Thanks again for another good one.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Kind of glad I couldn't get to my originally planned spot, this was a good find. Thanks Dennis.
