F250 truck camping in SWELTERING heat. Did not go as planned, lessons learned.

[@esiebert7625]

Having lived in TX & AZ I know the steam room (TX) vs the sauna (AZ), TX was more tolerable, when it’s 110+ in Phoenix it’s just stupid hot, this week it’s 115-117 for the next 5 days, I’m tapping out, it’s just going to get hotter with climate change, moving to the midwest next week, stay cool my friend!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻

[@BBombsBigAdventure]

I use 2 lost horizon mattresses in my RTT. If you try them, you'll probably like them. I think one of mine has a leaky valve. It's not a problem to sleep on but it means that it doesn't stay deflated completely. So.. I have to make sure it is freshly deflated when I put the tent up.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Good to know👍🏻 thanks

[@randyhays899]

I camped for two nights last week; it was hot, and bugs were bad, but I survived and had fun! Thanks for the video!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻👍🏻

[@929cbr_rr]

Thanks for taking us along ! In my travel trailer, I carry a 50A to 30A dogbone, in addition to a 50A to 110V (15A) dogbone. So common for power pedestals to be in poor shape.

[@airracer99]

Wow, Impressive!! We jumped into the OLing bandwagon a few years ago before really considering how hot it gets here in NTX. I have yet to venture out in the summer, but feel somewhat inspired by your recent trips.

[@robertfrank3698]

Hey Brian. The campground I was telling you about when I saw you last week is Daingerfield in East Texas. Really nice park. Bob.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you sir. I’ll check it out

[@brandon_g_808]

Quick shade pop up tent and a portable misting fan is the way to go on days like those.

This is why i like living out west (Las Vegas) as mountain camp sites are a couple of hours away. Born and raised in Texas, left in 91 for the Air Force, moved back in 2012, got bored and moved back out west.

Im glad that the Ozarks will be nice and cool this October! 135 degrees! That was insane buddy!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@troyyarbrough]

Where are these 135 degree comments coming from? I live in Texas not far from where Brian lives and it has not been over 102 degrees this year. There is some exaggeration going on somewhere.

[@dennisshorter]

I could not have handled that heat. I miss north Texas, Arlington in fact. After I retired from the electronic security business, I went to work at the Parks of Arlington Mall as a mall cop part time to get my walking in plus a bonus of a check. Liked it so much after a couple of years went full time and had my 70th birthday party in the mall office. That was 8 years ago. We are now in south central Tennessee and loving it. Thanks for your content. God bless.

We are oddly cool in Michigan today. 67 degrees. I'll email you some cool air. I always think there are rattlesnakes around you but I assume it's cicadas.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Just annoying cicadas

[@zilla5142]

Come next door to New Orleans...it is currently 95 degrees with heat index of 114 degrees. This is HELL. Don't know how you can handle it in Texas. Thank GOD for air conditioning.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Most of my family is in NO (Metairie actually) so I know all about how that feels🔥🔥

[@brianbenton8478]

I would have a 3d printed adaptor made that zipped into the tent. Then just slip the ac tubes on from outside. No need to crawl inside a hot tent then. Awesome video.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I’ve tried them with my diesel heater this winter, but will probably try to find one for these larger diameter hoses too

[@lindalanasa1437]

I have the very same Ryobi fan. I don’t leave home without it 😂

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

They are nice👍🏻

[@RobertStroupe]

Great video. I believe I would have set the battery powered fan on the table when you ate though. Maybe it makes to much noise to film with it on? Love the new setup and jetboil. Stay safe in the heat!😳👍🇺🇸

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Good idea, and should have done that👍🏻

[@TheCopperVillageAngler]

Thanks for the video! Stay cool! Stay safe!

[@RickProsser-p9d]

Crazy hot! The neck cooler was interesting. Wondering if it uses a pisio(sp) electronics to cool. Played with that awhile back but had too high a electric draw for my experiement. Always enjoy your meal segment and the ideas for my next trip.

Hey Brian, great video man! Can you tell me the tires you have on your truck? I saw they are the Toyo Open Country, But I couldn't see if they were the A/T3's or the new R/T? I'm gonna need new tires here soon, I've had the Toyo A/T2's for the last 3 years, got over 60K out of them. They have been awesome tires! I might go with the Falken Wild Peak A/T4 also. But, those tires look sweet on your truck! Thanks bud!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

They are the Toyo AT/3. Love em👍🏻

[@crazychris7417]

Loved the video my local Dfw brethren! Have you tried any of the portable showers by chance? Maybe do a review, Rinsekit has one that’s popular, really good for after swimming or dealing with this high heat and sweating to death.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I’m looking into one now👍🏻

[@rerunplaya532]

Thanks for sweating 🥵 it out for us💪😎. What was the temperature inside the tent?🤔

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It was around 65° inside 👍🏻

[@travelinwithTODD]

the heat is so bad down there. thanks for sweating your ass off for us, lol.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

lol. Sure thing!!

[@WillCulbertsonIT]

And I'm goin' bitch when it gets above 80 here in the PNW. That doesn't seem like a lot of fun but someone has to do it!. Thankfully you got a good setup for the tent there. I need to do something like that for my F250.

Too hot for me. I cannot deal with heat so we wait until fall to travel.

Incredible how that AC cools your tent in those hot temps. I thought Florida was extra hot but 135 WOW, that's extreme! I see that KZbin has turned the Music Volumes up to eardrum levels again --- my ears are LITERALLY ~RINGING~ and I tried to tame it to no avail. 😂 Life's hardly ever perfection. I'll take ringing ears to those 🔥 temps any day 😂.

[@driveabout1world872]

Great video. Was the 20amp circuit breaker tripping or its GFCI? Speaking for myself, I can handle the heat or the humidity, just not the heat AND humidity. In the summer, I always take a shop floor fan for air movement when sitting outside. A great size is around 14". It also keeps the flying bugs away. Often there's little to no shade, sometimes I'll string up a shade cloth as it still allows air movement.

[@driveabout1world872]

The fan I use is; XPOWER FC-150B Portable High Velocity AC/DC Dual Power Operated Portable Rechargeable Battery 18,200mAh Utility Fan, Extended Air Flow, 1000 CFM. I purchased it from Menards. I can power it off the inverter, shore power or use my Sportsman 800 watt inverter generator that someone on YT did a great review on.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It was tripping

We had almost 2 weeks around 100 here in Ohio. It was brutal. Did you have a thermometer with you. Just wondering what the temperature was inside your tent overnight. I’m definitely planning on getting a LightRanger 2000.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I didn’t bring one, but best guess is around 65°. It felt great in there

Instead of rice for dinner you should've brought ICE for dinner. 😅😅😅😅 Thanks for the videos.

There is a tent adapter for your AC on Etsy.😊

I would imagine that AC cools down that small tent pretty effectively what was the temperature? I don’t think you mentioned what the temperature was in the tent. but yeah appreciate the videos. I’d probably do what you’re doing too. As crazy as it is.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I never got a temp…just forgot being brain dead. My guess is around 65°. It was quite chilly

Is that the Naturehike 2 burner folding camp stove? If so, how do you like it? How is the burner control, especially towards the low setting?

It is, and I really like it. The adjustment is very good. Can really dial down the flame to a simmer very easily. Link is in the description ;)

Brian, I've been watching your videos on both channels for quite awhile now, so I say this with all due respect... If you are going to constantly complain about how hot it is then stop truck camping in the heat.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

That’s fair👍🏻 I just don’t think I was prepared quite yet for this heat. Kinda snuck up on me
