hey brother, just drink the beer you like, don't try to impress people that don't care. you said you like miller lite, drink miller lite. we're still behind you bro. I'm new to watching utube videos,(to which I probably will subscribe to your channel, but, anyway, just be yourself, bro, camp on

Thanks bud👍🏻 I do like to try out new beers just for fun. Miller alt every trip kinda gets boring after a while. Should probably pack a couple in the cooler in case I end up with some nasty beer I’m trying out🍻🍻

Something to consider is noseem screen with magnets to keep bugs out and let airflow in; put over windows and tailgate opening, quick and easy to put up, made a world of difference on my camper top. Awesome set-up I like the bed and lift for it.

This setup reminds me of another KZbinr, "Crazy Quady 🤪." You would like him a lot. He is a really decent guy. I can't wait to view more of your videos and see where your adventures take you. You seem to be on the straight and a nice guy. Well, I'm going to subscribe so I can start watching more of your awesome adventures. 😊 Thank you for sharing your adventures and for all the hard work and time you put into your truck and your channel. You set your truck up awesomely. It fits you to the tee. Oh, which state are you in? 🤔 I just like to know where you're from and which state you're camping in. You don't have to say what campground you go to so it stays quiet and you don't get tons of people there. Because people do that, the KZbinr will say which campground they are at. The next thing you know, it's not that awesome little get away it's filled with lots of noisy people. So if you wanna keep a place the way it is, don't say the name of the campground. Thanks again for an awesome video. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻 I do watch some of his videos, he produces some good stuff. Thanks for watching👍🏻

[@robertclymer6948]

[@pamelaklemp5615]

You and your new Truck set-up did not disappoint 🙌 👏. Despite the weather outside, conditions inside the new build out seemed to work great! Yep, next the Air Conditioner build for sure. Florida is already hot during the daytime, most nights are still cooler than you'd think. Personally I'm loving the cooler nights... summer will be here soon enough. Lol.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Pamela👍🏻

[@BRANDE88]

It's awesome to see you still having fun and making the best of bad weather. I love the setup. It seems so efficient. The spot is really fantastic. I am still having a hard time finding any spots remotely similar to this in Wisconsin. There is nothing on a lake. Everything is in the woods. Anyways, cheers and I look forward to the next adventure. #brianwatersoutdoors

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Derek👍🏻 funny, because I’m trying to find a nice secluded place out in the forest…and those are hard to find here

[@rlucerin28]

Use your fridge to cook on top of. Kinda like Crazy Quady.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I tried, but my cooler is too small for the grill I was using👍🏻

[@brianbarens5734]

I watch all of the truck campers, and you're right. They always have their beds on the drivers side. This new perspective makes the video seem much different, new, and unique. I like the change. Another great one!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you Brian👍🏻

[@richardherrington2852]

Another plus to putting the beg on the passenger side is that on the drivers side, you can build shelves or whatever you want because you do not look out the drivers side window when driving. I am at this time changing my camper bed to the passenger side like shown in this video.

[@davidhollenbeck2450]

This video made my day and I’m really not sure why. Just the boys enjoying their hobby’s and doing what makes me happy.

My truck tent was pretty fun when I used it a few times last year👍🏻

[@claysisson4627]

Love how you psych yourself up for good fishing. :). A good option for a fork is a set of chopsticks for pasta, etc. Don’t have to be an expert - just drag the food to your mouth.:). Great vid.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Lol. Just shovel that stuff in😂👍🏻

[@ggsmith48906]

Trick to any michelada type beer is to gently stir the can before you open it (flip it upside down a few times). They have a tendency of separating the beer from the sours or chili.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Alex👍🏻👍🏻

[@kevinsimmons4663]

Use a longer piece of paracord on your window "lock" with the cam-lock buckle. You can then use that to prevent the cap hatch from opening up so far, which funnels water right into the bed of the truck.

👍🏻👍🏻

Rooster Tail spinner. Black/white, with speckles and gray bottom if possible (kinda hard to find sometimes). I've never failed to catch at least something, in any body of fresh water or river, no matter where I'm at. Everything from Perch to Bass, Trout to Salmon, Pike, Walleye, I don't know what it is about them, but Rooster Tails have always worked for me ever since I was a kid. I just wish they would have never stopped making the propeller type spinners.... lots less getting stuck in weeds, and they never fail to spin like a spoon/paddle type can. I still have several from my childhood I just keep rebuilding. They are fish-catching suns-a-guns! :) I love your setup and really enjoyed the video!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@JinxDClown]

I would suggest making a roll down velcro screen for that back lift window. The other thing I do when I truck camp is put op a simple 12x12 pop up and set it at the tailgate end of my truck (with about 3 ft overlapping the top of my truck). I'm sure you have thought of these things, but just in case anyone else hasn't.

I'm barely starting on my build. I adapted an older camper shell for my Silverado but it's just fiberglass so i need to insulate it and i want to build the internal frame so it supports weight on top since i might build the top sleeping area. I already have dual battery with isolator installed. I usually go out to the desert and camp or the mountains.

[@johnchatterton9240]

Regarding the gaps it the rear of your truck tail gate, I agree that it is an area where rain and bugs can get in. My fix for this is to fill the gaps on both sides with rags to keep the bugs out and if rain is forecast some tape over the outside gap. My truck is a Tacoma with about a quarter of an inch gap by the tail gate latch and the above is the only way I have found to inexpensively fix this if only temporarily when I have a sleepover in it.
