Easy Winter Rooftop Tent Camping In Tacomas - WEEKENDERLANDER EP 27

[@fred11895]

I found with my dog that the main cause of car sickness was not as much to movement of the vehicle as it is general stress. For me the key was to associate the car with good things that the dog liked and get the dog to the point where they will willingly get into the vehicle willingly and not have to be lifted in (can be tough with smaller dogs, you can accomplish it though by clearing a space in the floorboard for them to access). A good drill to run at home is to entice the dog to get into the vehicle and back out completely on their own without driving anywhere. From there add starting the vehicle to the mix and repeat until comfortable. Then add a small roll around the driveway, then neighborhood, and slowly add more and more distance. It does take time but this has been what I’ve found to work very well for increasing the dogs comfort in vehicles. Good luck man!

[@rickmorty7166]

Dude, we need more camping videos. I’m sure it’s hard to take off with all your businesses and stuff but I live through watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@kenth1602]

I've been waiting for another Weekenderlander!! Love this series!

[@WilliamAlvarez86]

Love the friendship man. Its always good to hang out once in awhile with amgios

[@designerhook4444]

Always nice to see these pop up. Can’t wait to take adventures like this once I’m back from deployment. Thanks for giving me my overlanding fix while I’m away!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Stay safe out there!

[@CJ-yl2nu]

“Nobody’s here and the car is still running.... California” 😂

[@amorton94]

No explanation needed at that point.

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

I despise commiefornians

[@ramonjimenez5451]

Finally, another one!!

[@georgeheron7109]

Love the color profile and honest commentary

[@DLeeJ]

Setting the tent up one handed is the new gold standard

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha!

[@ShaunsJeep]

Good friends are hard to find. Thanks for the video bud.

[@Darkpyro372]

Really been missing the Tacoma weekenderlander vids man, so glad to see one again!

[@crxfan101]

Would love to see a video how to pick a camp spot basically everything you need to know and how to find out what are legal Camp spots do you camp in national forest or out, do you need permits and so on

[@obviousgreyman]

Hard to do depending on different state laws and it’s so unique to each area but it might make a good video if he can put together enough tips that are pretty universal.

[@hunter_pauley]

I love these videos Mike. I just got my 2021 Trd off road in December and can’t wait to explore more of Montana this summer.

[@Sweanynathan]

I just picked up a ZR2 and like you I’m stoked to get out and use it.

[@amorton94]

@@Sweanynathan I didn't know they brought back the "ZR" monicker. Nice.

[@JaySky181]

Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you while I write my college papers

[@darksideemt]

I just bought those same blocks Brad has, hope that's an indication they are decent ones. One more month till I get to go on my first camping trip and I can't wait. Due to my wife we definitely won't be roughing it like you guys but still get to camp and that's what matters.

[@Crosby4hyg]

What they're doing is along way from roughing it my friend! Glad you're getting into it though.

[@darksideemt]

@@Crosby4hyg by having no restroom or showers that is roughing it, especially when wives are concerned for the most part. I'll take it though as long as we get to get out and away from things.

[@J.Young808]

Yay a Weekenderlander episode. Excited to see how you build up the Tremor. Really makes me want a truck more than a 4Runner

[@lilklondikeoutdoors4116]

Great camping trip. Can’t wait to see what you do with the Tremor

[@juelzd7172]

Getting my 4x4 off road Tacoma this year after saving up for it last year and this year hopefully after summer as a hvac tech. Then become a rookie weekenderlander

[@yp8120]

I was looking forward to your weekenderlander and it was great as always! Thank you for taking us with you on your winter camping trip! I feel like we were there experience everything with you.

[@ChrisPrice007]

Thank Mike, always enjoy the Weekenderlander videos!

[@LaBelle1085]

Wish we had a beautiful place to camp like that close by. Just a suggestion for you, look on Amazon at the arcturus survival "tarps" I guess you could call them. We attach them to the inside roof of our tent with the foil side down to help retain and reflect heat. Makes a big difference when it's cold out! Looking forward to the next video!

[@240sxdriver]

Morrflate is awesome. I admit I usually air down with their gauge and mainly use it to air up equalize pressure. Swapped out some of the fittings for high flow options (not necessary cuz it only cut about a minute of time) Cheers to the next one good sir!

[@keax7186]

Another great video, General is coming together can't wait to see the final complete build.

[@legacyf2115]

Ugh man you are a Saint youre my getaway from the city and all the madness man thankyou !!🙏

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha happy to help!

[@woodswalker64]

It’s great to see how you help others! Thank you!

[@nathanjernigan5832]

Cerenia is great for dogs who get car sick. 30 minutes before the trip. Love the videos 💪

[@BMXfreak92]

So nice! Your videos help me a lot to get away from all the work and not being able to overland

[@PrettieCreature]

Just two men in the wild with their crocs!!

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

Crocs are the TRUTH

[@jeffmorris739]

Yeah man great video. Took my new Taco on it's first trail ride on the Tennessee Dirt Devil Sunday, Awesome creek crossings, beautiful scenery, and snow! I also shot video although it was lacking a bit but I will continue to improve. Thanks Mike.

[@tmccall44]

Hey Mike, my son bought me one of your Blue Alpha belts for Christmas....I'm really pleased with it. Great product

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Nice! I have a spot picked out to take mine for it’s inaugural shakedown before too long, will probably still be wintery as well.

[@Yotasol18]

Hey Mike, I have a similar Diamondback/FrontRunner bars and RTT setup as you. I have issues with reaching all the way in to the bed to grab gear so I pulled the trigger on the medium bed slide from FrontRunner. Fits the Tacoma like a glove. I can still fit my Dometic CFX 35 and no longer have to climb into the bed to reach for stuff all the way in the back. Something to consider if you haven’t done so already 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@justLori530]

shoot, mind blown once again! I learn something new everytime i watch one of your videos.

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Thanks for another Weekenderlander! Love these trip videos.

[@mattbarton6381]

On the topic of Maple puking in the car, we recently got a kennel for our dog to ride in while hes in the back seat and it seems to have maybe helped his motion sickness. Im assuming because he is more contained and has kennel walls to lay against and gets tossed around less. He does much better in a vehicle now that he has is little kennel home to cozy up in.

[@richardsherman9479]

Getting our ikamper 2.0 mini set up next week. Stoked to watch the one handed set up haha. Can’t wait to get out there! Happy camping good sir!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Nice, you'll love it!

[@karl5885]

Hi from the U.K I love your videos and the information you give, and with that I've slowly started to set up my mitsubishi L200 for an overland/ bug out truck 🤙

[@RipcordHQ]

Nice vid Mike, gotta love quick overnight trips

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Thanks man - hit me up if you ever wanna go do a little trip!

[@XPLRNW]

Awesome video brother! Thanks for putting all the work and time into making this video awesome! Fellow KZbinr from the Pacific Northwest... Washington State.

[@ericksorto3764]

Very excited to see all your projects, you should also wrap match the general to the taco that would be so cool

[@jugmopo6780]

I’ve missed the Tacoma!! I just got one and have been waiting!!

[@obviousgreyman]

Great episode weekenderlanders are always a good watch.

[@adventureoutline]

Weekenderlanders are always awesome. Thanks Mike.

[@suastegui510]

Just got my 2021 tacoma and I can't wait to explore and slowly mod it!

[@jboutdoors7019]

Mike can’t wait for the general content, I have a ranger highlifter crew, would love to do a RTT on it and use it for camping, is that your plan? Or just using the general for cruzing around?

[@psykotedy]

When you got to the bed rack on the General, I was half expecting at least a mention of plans for a rooftop tent. 🤣

[@mtbpirates]

More of everything please! No pressure 😀

[@justin6791]

Picked up one of those MORRFlate setups. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@frankfattore989]

Cant wait to see that Tremor review!

[@pepesilvia9085]

Super pumped for the tremor build

[@eo8513]

Curious what % your Goal Zero was down to the next morning after using the heated blanket all night?

[@andrresovo]

Enjoy this kind of footage, thank you!

[@anchoradventuresyt]

Weekenderlander are my fav videos!

[@Itsjrob_]

Awesome video mike and congrats on the engagement ❤️🔥

[@matthewduffield4375]

Love the weekenderlanders!

[@MWDAdventures]

I also seen the red streamlight work light magnetic in the rear of your trucks. thoughts do you like it?

[@disaster4peace]

Love the series, but please please please bring the "magic" back!

[@WaterFowlFinAddict]

Loving the content ! Keep it coming

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@oAngelz]

What dog bed fits in the backseat? I haven’t been able to find the video you did about that awhile ago. I got a 2020 and a puppers so I’d love some ideas!

[@Kadenventures]

Yum adding extra peanut butter and nuts to the pad Thai 👌🏽

[@jimbrown6139]

B.P. Pad Thai is my fave dehydrated meal.

[@vincenisly8699]

Hey Mike, your videos are always great... but dude! This one is next level 👌🏼 love the broll. It takes a lot of work to make a vid like this 💪🏼

[@jarretthoward6279]

Have you ever thought about doing a video with @dirt lifestyle ? He’s been getting into over landing, a collab with you two would be rad! 🤘 Awesome video, love your channel.

[@FITFO]

Lol been there done that with my GSD puking on the way to go camping by yourself lol she made it the whole hour ride and as we where about 10 minutes out she crawled up and threw up all over my lap. She grew out of it though thank god

[@poison_ivy_jeep430]

love the bonus content!

[@brucedouglas7643]

Made me want to go winter camping ⛺️ ❄️

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Do it!

[@jsdavis2007]

Do you or Brad have any experience with fitting skis diagonally in the bed with the Leitner Rack??? Im wondering if the vertical support bars at the tailgate interfere with lying skis diagonally in the bed. I have skis up to 190cm in length, and im pretty sure they will take up every bit of length available. About to pull the trigger on a tacoma and looking at which rack set up will be best for me. Leaning towards the Leitner so I can put my mountain bike in bed with front tire hanging over tailgate....But the ski situation is a potential issue.... Thanks!!!

[@tacojuan789]

30 minutes of on the clock productivity coming up. Lol. Thanks Mike.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha get it!

[@JeffrikOG9]

I have the same diamondback and bed rack setup, ive been thinking about taking the diamondback off so that i have bed room again. Have you thought about this?

[@Nahuel16]

Great content as always! Would you recommend a couple of easy spots to overland for beginners? I’m in Colorado as well

[@derekfarnsworth7536]

Weekendlander for the win! Mike what is that little red light in your bed just underneath the Dback cover?

[@Hessrs]

Can you put locations of spots in the videos? I understand not wanting to have a ton of people flock there, but maybe just the city/town? It'd be awesome knowing where you can do dispersed camping and the views you find are stunning

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Colorado is already a cluster of crowds, so no, I'll never put locations, unless I'm just in already wildly popular spots. The whole influencers geotagging and showing locations has ruined so many places unfortunately.

[@Hessrs]

@@LastLineOfDefense I understand. Do you use any app to find locations? I've got several but struggle to find dispersed camping locations, besides just finding offroad trails and trying those.

[@SergioDSandoval]

How much power did the heated blanket take from the 1500 Goal Zero? What percentage did you wake up too?

[@DM-tf6mk]

Great video and cool little trip!

[@daveintexas1970]

Looking forward to seeing that Tremor

[@GATORADDAM]

Fun little trip, but looks coooold! I'm going on a boat camping trip in the backwaters off the St John's River here in Florida next week for a few days. Calling for mid 70s during the day and low 50s at night! Sorry. Hahaha.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

Wrap looks better muddy 😉

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I agree, I just really wash my truck maybe once a year, so it was nice seeing it clean for a few days, haha.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

@@LastLineOfDefense I hear ya!

[@carlosbanegas8393]

Will the General get a lift with bigger tires? Great content!! Your weekender vids are awesome!!

[@jannerahkamaa1011]

Realy like those new headlights👍

[@FreysOnTheSide]

Great intro. You guys are too much. Thanks for sharing.

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

Keep it up! This is epic!

[@amorton94]

Only 6 left! I wonder if I'll finish today.

[@Patrick_Randolph]

I tried to read all the comments to see if it was mentioned before I asked, but, what rack does Brad run on his Tacoma? Thanks 🤙🏻

[@thomaspetty8702]

Always good stuff. Come to salida Colorado

[@peteniemela9900]

Awesome !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

Nice video chief, trying to get in a 2020 Tacoma off-road next week 🙏🏼

[@Mrcampbell1986]

The general is looking good my friend. Are planning on upgrading the tires?

[@garyschlagel995]

LIFE IS GREAT! NOTH'IN BETTER THAN A TOYOTA TACOMA!

[@MWDAdventures]

THE KC-C2. I don't see an amber filter for them on there site? I have been looking for a dimable amber light . White is to bright for camp.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I just used this stuff and cut it to shape - amzn.to/3pYUcrq - not a perfect solution, but good enough for me.

[@MWDAdventures]

@@LastLineOfDefense I just wondered if heat was an issue with this style of light. Looks like a good solution. I really wish Manufactures would look at amber more and ways to dim out of the box. The race to more lumens is over ! Its insane how bright these new lights are but what good are high lumens if you can't run them in camp with the truck off without risking killing your batteries. Long story shortI bought this tape looks like this solution will work for some of my led cube lights. Thanks again.

[@matthewfrey5313]

Solid intro.

[@thaddeusmartorell5861]

What’s a great overland trail for beginners?

[@robkirkland7982]

Great Video. Keep them coming.

[@cementtacocalifornia5638]

Brad's rig looks like mine a bit....I guess considering it's cement. haha. Used to have a Diamondback but needed more room so picked up a RSI SmartCap. Good to see you taking the Taco out for a trip with a buddy. Keep it up my friend! :)

[@ericaguirre5947]

How do you like the bfgs in the snow ?

[@upinthealpine_]

What ditch lights is your friend running?

[@jakeandrews284]

Lovin this series 🙌🏻

[@KMartineauMuisc]

What type of over bed rack do you have? I want a roof top tent for mine and cant find the right look!

[@caesardgreatest]

I got the FTM-400 as well, no one in my area uses System Fusion. We need to be friends, not just on that basis! 😂

[@coaroas9243]

Ok, here's my real question. Where does the puppy sleep? Because that's my problem. I mostly sleep in the bed because I have a 75 lb dog and a 95 lb dog. So getting them up 6 ft in a ditch on top tent would be a work out. Not to mention my big dog doesnt like being picked up. So basically I'm also asking for myself as well.

[@morganw02]

Do you have any insight on when Goal Zero is releasing the Yeti 1000X??
