Snow Camping - Cops & Closed Campgrounds

[@roadvoyagerlife1759]

So cool to see where you ended up camping and the walk by the dam! I lived in Yankton when I was a kid, we used to picnic near that campground, then would swim in the lake, fished the lake and river a few times when my dad bought a used boat and used to fish below the damn with my Gramps. That man could catch fish there (anywhere!) when no-one else could!! Used to snag spoonbill and catch some big cats out of that river! You brought back some great memories! Thanks and keep the vids coming!

Sometimes, those instances where you did not expect to fall asleep, yet did anyway and you find yourself waking up muuuuuch later than you usually would sleep, is simply one of the best things that can happen to you. I almost never get more than 4 hours a of sleep a night, so those random few times I have fallen asleep before planning to do so, and found myself waking up 7 or 8 hours later, are godsends. I'm glad Mike got to do one of those again on his own in this video, and he even got 12 hours in for it.

[@cherylownbey9573]

This is the first time I've come across your videos. You have a wonderful voice to listen to, also you share your thoughts smoothly. Nice video and what a nice place to winter camp. It was well worth your likely frustration with the closed campgrounds. Yet you stayed cool and calm. Many people get mad and ruin the peacefull feeling you share. I'm now a subscriber.

South Dakota is always good to visit. Different terrain from one end to the other.

I love your videos. So glad you took much needed rest. Your mind will keep you going none stop, but the body will put you down when it is in need of rest. Happy Holidays to you and yours 🎅

I really enjoy your videos. Your set up looks so cozy and inviting ☺️ I plan to set up my truck like that. I have a Nissan titan 4 door, 4x4. My only thing i would add would be add is a small diesel heater

[@CrazyQuady]

I've been thinking about a diesel heater but I don't really want anything permanently mounted in the bed of the truck just yet

[@davidcolley2855]

I don't know how far you live away from British Columbia Canada, but we have some amazing camping here in the province, especially on Vancouver Island BC. You could do a whole mini series about your travels in BC

Another great video ! Winter camping through your trips ,,,, awesome camera shots as always ! Hope to get out soon myself. Safe travels and take care !!!

Hell yeah! I camped there in September. Beautiful spot!

Great location to camp! Only made it up there once this past season and we're set up in the campground on the Nebraska side overlooking the Missouri River.

I’m glad you didn’t get into a park and then locked in! And “sleep happens”. I once fell asleep and woke up 16 hours later. Good video, thanks for posting it, and keep having fun.

Mike not eating dinner isn’t that odd, however eating dinner without something spicy would be! Glad to see you’re uploading again!

[@CrazyQuady]

I had hot sauce in the cooler!

[@SwiftOnSports]

That time of year man; easy to just crash and sleep for hours. Like hibernating. Great vid all the same.

For sure

Quick question, how did you hang your curtain rods in the back of your truck? Did you make the curtains for it?

[@richroj]

that was a great video Mike, I really enjoyed it 👍

You slept like that because your mind and body needed to. It's all good and no need to apologize for it.

As much as I love Winter, it can sure be a headache for driving.

[@CrazyQuady]

It was dumping snow on the drive up, I had a couple video clips but it just didn't flow

[@rogertemple7193]

Here in Oklahoma especially near the Red River area it was several days of rain and then high winds and it's just cold and well that's Oklahoma for you.

You crawl up into your truck and got comfortable and crashed out. You body said heck yeah let's rest lol

Winter driving w/snow can wipe us out faster than we realize. That kinda sleep is some of the best ever tho. Maybe a jerry can for more water? Carry some bags of soup mixes. Pimento cheese spread with jalapenos or green chilies, bacon crumbles, and a loaf of bread. Really dig your vids!

[@CrazyQuady]

I have a gallon of water under the bed and a half gallon in the drawer next to the jetboil, I rarely use either of them

Sometimes when a guy gets behind on his sleep, he just needs to snooze out for 10 or 12 hours. It's all good. Winter is good for that. I love going to my local state park in winter, my choice of campsites. Edit: I live just a mile or so from the Missouri river ... albeit about 400 miles south of where you were camped.

[@CrazyQuady]

winter is definitely the best time of year to hit the popular parks!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I think it's hilarious that I knew what flavors oatmeal you had just from the color of the printing on the packs. Two packs -- usually apples & cinnamon and cinnamon & spice -- followed by a couple small pastries or two pop tarts is a common breakfast for me.
