Winter Camping on the Wynoochee River | Conquest Overland

[@ConquestOverland]

For those that take on the opportunity to go winter camping, what tools do you use to keep warm in the tent?

[@GrizzlyPath]

Typically a little Buddy heater, but I recently had the chance to try my friend’s diesel heater and that was pleasant for sure. I liked your friend’s propane heater though! Lots of great ideas.

[@ConquestOverland]

@@GrizzlyPath There certainly are numerous routes to go, nice to have options! With the GFC we are planning to initially try out the Buddy heater to start and see how that goes, though I've heard it adds a decent amount of condensation simply due to the propane... We shall see though!

[@jacobcallinsky5741]

I would love the chance to go up with yall someday I have my own rig and what not and this summer I'm launching My PNW jeep renegade trailhawk channel! id show u the winter set up

[@TaraKilborn]

Heated blanket plugged into our Jackery 1000.

[@chrono244]

A buddy heater but I think it's warming up enough here in Texas to not need one at night.

Currently drinking a beer with my over priced pad thai and enjoying this video! Lifes good👍

[@ConquestOverland]

Haha right on! Best combo for a Friday evening 😉👍 Thank you for the support!

Awesome video. Thank you. Blessing to you.

Appreciate your support, thank you very much!

[@RubiKongjk]

Beautiful!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! 👍

[@chrono244]

Looked like a lot of fun! Glad you guys could enjoy the snow before all the rain 🌧

[@ConquestOverland]

For sure! Was nice to try out some of the gear as well. The rain definitely got the best of us towards the end of that trip... 😉

Good to see the Runners representing...

Your photographic videos are off the chart - GREAT

[@ConquestOverland]

Sincerely appreciate it, thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful video.

Thank you for the support!!

[@JMcKee253]

love Wynoochee used to fish there as a kid! great spot to camp totally forgot about it!

[@ConquestOverland]

Oh right on! It's a beautiful area, glad we could enjoy it again during the winter months 👍

[@TheSleepyDad]

Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy seeing places nearby.

[@ConquestOverland]

Appreciate the support, thank you!

[@carlogarcia4327]

videoing and editing are so pure

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much!

[@splatmacpuffin]

More epic drone shots ! Looks like a great time was had by all.

[@ConquestOverland]

Indeed, filming was a little easier on the second half simply due to how beautiful that landscape was!

[@wayneyancey6422]

Hi Buddy, Nice video. Good day to be alive that weekend. I look forward to seeing more CC adventures.

[@ConquestOverland]

Definitely enjoy the winter camping more, no bugs! 😉 Much more on the way!

[@OverlandPNW]

Great looking convoy of rigs ! Bummer about blowing that front air locker line! Great video !

[@ConquestOverland]

Luckily that individual was able to make a quick trail repair so they were good to go, but goes to show to always be ready! Thank you very much for the support 👍

[@OverlandPNW]

@@ConquestOverland Totally agree !

Always enjoy your videos. Great one.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! 👍

[@overlandersnorthwest]

Love your videos. Can you start leaving some coordinates of the spots you visit to share with all of us. Thank you

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you for the support! In an effort to help keep public lands open to all and these locations in healthy conditions, I do not post coordinates. See here for more details as to why: treadlightly.org/learn/ Part of the adventure is exploring and discovering these places for your own, takes away all the fun when given the exact answers… 😉👍

[@scottbalsley1645]

I also found the Boulder deflaters a little finicky. I know they are relatively cheap, so I took them apart to see what could be improved. They definitely needed some love as the machining and finished angles were very sharp. After some deburring, polishing and lube they work superb now. If you don't want your old ones, I'll take them, would be nice to have two different pressure options.

[@ConquestOverland]

Wow! That’s awesome you were able to get ‘em to cooperate for you, right on! Shoot me an email and we can work out sending my old set to you. [e-mail]

[@GATORADDAM]

The Shauns are the way to go. Anything Australian is the way to go. They know they're overlanding. I have the full Ironman suspension in my 2019 TRD offroad and it kicks my buddies Foxx suspensions ass!

[@ConquestOverland]

Very nice!

[@6point1hemi]

Keep it up man. Great job.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much! 👊

[@johnmadsen37]

Just got a 4Runner and need to replace the highway tires ASAP. Went to my hood during a blizzard at night and ended up temporarily delayed in quite a bit of snow never really stuck in a 4x4... I did have to air down 20 lbs and essentially inch forward, digging to the ground. It was a slight uphill and shoulder lean. Funny. About an hour. Right off the dealer lot. Everyone says ko2s but is there something better?

[@jonc7371]

go with falken wildpeaks, insanely capable and are better in the rain

[@jonc7371]

@@ThePrezObozo lol bro just slap any off brand all terrains on your rig and youre good, i used to go with a 2wd 4runner and discount tire specials on rocky trails in new mexico and I was (mostly) fine

[@ConquestOverland]

I would say get what works best for you and your budget. Any tire other than stock will be significantly better. Though for a rig that doubles as a daily driver and weekend warrior, all terrains tires are a fantastic choice.

[@ericnexplore]

Thanks for sharing your adventure and tips. I really like the Zodi heater., that your be perfiect for the Arctic where I live. Greetings from Yellowknife.

[@ConquestOverland]

It would absolutely be a great fit for up there! (had to open up my maps! 😉). Appreciate the support, means a lot!

[@RocknOverlanding]

Great video guys!!! Love that neck of your woods - can’t wait for this COVID stuff to be over so we can come down and explore there again!!

[@ConquestOverland]

Much appreciated, thank you! Definitely looking forward to getting things back to a ‘norm, soon enough! 👍

[@francisngo]

Haven’t seen that GFC camper yet. Looks really nice.

[@ExpeditionTeamOverland]

Great drone footage

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! 👍

[@evanfuller3755]

Curious, were you originally going for the spot on the east side of the lake w/ the unofficial boat ramp or further up on the headwaters?

[@ConquestOverland]

We were going for a different spot along the river further north past the lake on the main road. But honestly this one was better 👍

[@irishdefense77]

I have a Kovea isobutane heater I’m rocking-I got it from LoLo Overland,and it’s the perfect size for my Alu-Cab rooftop tent on my 4 Runner.I had the Big Buddy,but it creates too much condensation and it runs for 5 minutes and it’s too hot.

[@ConquestOverland]

I'll definitely have to look into those! Agreed on the Buddy Heater, lots of condensation created when using this but works in a pinch 👍

[@irishdefense77]

@@ConquestOverland just have a look at he Kovea heater-for the size of the tent you’re running(similar to mine)one fuel bottle will get the tent warm enough in 7 minutes to shut it off,and run it again in the morning when you get up-I found that one isobutane bottle will last 4 days easily and I usually carry a spare(better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[@ht1261]

What kind of tires do you have on in this video? Do you run them all year round? Love your adventures,

[@ConquestOverland]

Falken Wildpeak A/Ts. Only tire I've used since owning the truck, love 'em! Thank you for the support!

[@duckshaker]

@ 12:25 What is the orange device and what is its purpose? Thanks. Ever here the stories about John Tornow, aka The Wynoochee Wildman?

[@earshelhogan6148]

It's called a damper. Should the cable snap, it helps the cable fall to the ground rather than recoiling and injuring someone or damaging a vehicle. Glad to see them using it here!

[@duckshaker]

@@earshelhogan6148 Thanks, Earshel Hogan. I thought that might be what its purpose was, even though I've never seen one used before. Looks like a great safety device.

[@GATORADDAM]

Very cool video! Two things though..... Heat sources in 32 degree weather?! Sissys. Hahaha. Man, I'm from Florida and when I go into those climates a good zero degree sleeping bag is all that's needed. The other thing.... I have a moded 2019 TRD offroad and you'd have to be a contortionist midget to sleep in there! Well.... I'm 6'10" so that's not gonna happen. Seriously though... that looked like a blast. Keep on doing what you do!

How many miles you have on your truck an what Major problems you had to fix

[@ConquestOverland]

48k and no issues so far! 👍

[@natesage1803]

Just camped the same area in July 2021 same spot and everything.

[@ConquestOverland]

Oh right on! It's a great spot for the offseason as this area definitely sees a fair bit of traffic in the summer months.

[@chinoytheman]

Been watching your videos. Where can I find the exact location you have been camping? Is there a website where it lists these sites? Address and coordinates and all?

[@ConquestOverland]

As of right now I currently do not have that information available. In time this might change via means of Patreon though nothing official has become of it yet. Part of the adventure is getting out and discovering places such as these through ones own research, makes for all the more reward. 👍 Have fun out there and safe travels!

[@MrDonuts10]

I find it pretty funny, I actually sold my GFC set up to get something like a regular shell/rack and a GFC super lite tent on top haha. GFC set up just wasn’t worth all that money in my opinion. BUT I see you’re out like 24-7 so makes more sense.

[@ConquestOverland]

For sure, everyone has their setups for what works. That’s honestly what makes it all so unique! But I do love the super lite they have done. Can’t beat all that you get in the fraction of the weight.

[@juanmeyer3798]

Yo big dog! Wuddappp... 🤙

[@ConquestOverland]

Hey hey!! 👊

[@XPLRNW]

I'd like to say... great video my friend! Any adventure is a great adventure... How do you like sleeping in the back seat? I've totally folded the seats down and done this in my 4runner... works pretty good I'd say... I don't eat pork but if that were bison or beef... I'd be game!:) Keep up the great content my friend... Stay safe out there! Whats your next MOD on your rig?

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much!! Sleeping in the back had in perks in downpour rain (nothing to dry out afterwords) though it will be nice to regain that space back for gear! The GFC will be added come next week! 👍

[@ligmapolzky1143]

Is this before or after the lake??

[@ConquestOverland]

Slightly after heading north 😉

[@williamferguson8164]

Can you tell me about your winch/bumper/bull bar/light setup?

It’s a C-4 Fab Lo-Pro bumper, Baja design S8 amber light bar, and ComeUp synthetic line winch.

The video was great...very beautiful where your at ..... but tent heaters and fake camp fires are not what i consider camping

[@ConquestOverland]

Understandable so, what makes camping so unique, everyone has certain products and systems that work for them. Out of our 4 vehicles no one had the same setup but all enjoyed our time out, utilmateiy what it's all about! 😉 👍

[@JackSparrow-nq5wh]

It's ok to burn real wood instead of gas lol.

[@ConquestOverland]

Both a great depending on the evening, however I prefer the ease and convenience of propane.

[@JackSparrow-nq5wh]

I have one too but when it's winter time I just can't get warm enough with those things. Need a huge fire!! Lol
