Hunkering Down in a Snowstorm | Staying Cozy in my Camper

[@Rock-bf2ee]

The answer is YES put antifreeze in the water lines or risk having them crack if there is any water remaining in them. You could also use compressed air to blow the lines ... anti-freeze will prevent damage to the lines. You should have isolation valves to prevent antifreeze from going into your tank. Also put some in all your drains and the toilet 👋

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Cold Diesel suggestions: (1) Cetane boost for the fuel, (2) fresh batteries, (3) Full synthetic oils (5W-30 or oil weight suggested by oil dealer) (4) Diesel fuel additive for anti-gelling ... large blanket for the nose of the truck... (holds the heat in and it wont get as cold as ambient).... Good luck on you winter camps.... Your efforts are appreciated and We love the content....

[@staroceans8677]

Luna is adorable and so loving. You are all very special you Tessa and luna. Love the snow, nice video.

[@cjmedia1725]

Luna is so chill. My cats have never ending energy 😂

[@JonathanYentch]

She definitely has big chill energy lol

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@JonathanYentch Seek out the freemasonry hand signs and symbols and expose these. Get to know whom is in that evil club.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Loved seeing you enjoying the first SNOW OUTING in your Rig! That HIKE, that BIG MAC N FRIES, that wonderfully COZY feeling... all AWESOME! Thanks for sharing it with us. Be Well, Be Safe, Be always HAPPY-GO-LUCKY 😊

[@kitaoden703]

❤Luna is the cutest cat glad you found snow 🌨️🌨️

[@natecanale7889]

The hikes on your channel are always so beautiful and exciting

[@Cutiepie_8062]

Hi Jonathan. I live in Oregon too and when I was younger my dad had a camper like yours. He would always winterize the water lines. So, I would recommend the same. You don't want to ruin anything after the last camper. I felt so bad about how much you worked on the other camper. Btw, I love your new camper. It looks so cozy and perfect for you. 🙂

[@kevinfestner6126]

Nicely done with the big mac... Two whole beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun! You deserved that break, today.

[@JooUpdate]

good morning from bali my dear friend, thank for taking us with this beautiful video

[@rantovel]

Jonathan, I have been watching you for quite a while. I never see you carrying an inReach or any device like that. Please think about having one. If you dont have cell service, or if it goes down and you get hurt by yourself, it could save you. Stay safe and keep making these great videos.

[@beacee]

Does my heart good to see others who get so excited about the snow! Beautiful area! We have to wait for awhile here in the Midwest for that unfortunately. Your kitty is such a sweetie!

[@trishgatley6542]

Love watching Esp last 3 yrs,,,,,we need MORE great NORMAL people doing fun, great shares🐾💕🙏☺️ fr all!! Thks

[@graffix11us]

If it's really cold, turn the key on to warm up the glow plugs, turn it off and turn it on again and wait like normal.

[@barbkugler7568]

What a peaceful spot to camp. The snow makes it so magical.

[@outcast1763]

Jonathan i added a wave 3 to my truck camper years ago. I dont camp in climates that are as cold as you do but sometimes when it s below freezing i will lite the wave and also turn on the camper heater for a short time then turn it off and let the wave heater do its thing. always remember when useing the wave heater to have a window cracked open a bit . i have a max air cover on my roof vent so i just leave the vent open a bit

[@Judah98]

Wow. Sad thing is that's how Big Mac's use to look back in the day. 😢. Good job Jonathan ☺️🤙🏾

[@johnkennett617]

One hint to prevent wet and cold hands when you leave your gloves at home. Two Large ziplock bags with a pair of winter socks work great in an emergency.

[@artzi_ip]

listening your ford engine, im not sure is it 6.0 or 7.3 probably 7.3 by the sound, but you have incoming injector problem, sounds like sticky injector probably 2, and the problem could be the FICM or the injectors itself.

[@bobdemichele1542]

Glad your are back with winter camping. It inspires me to get out in the snow. I'm in Colorado and the snow is starting to hit the mountains. Safe Travels

[@JonathanYentch]

Head on up there! Winter camping is awesome. Thanks for watching

[@angiepritt]

Beautiful ❤️Luna is a doll ❤

[@JonathanYentch]

I have to agree 🙂

[@Erin-Thor]

That is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for this mini vacation! 😊

[@ArtAndPrevailing]

The day I realized Ski goggles were the best tool for running my snowblower was a great day. No more blowback in your eyes. Love your large goggles too!

[@brettotte6470]

Yes! I wear them mowing the 76” riding lawn mower at 20mph too. Helps my allergies tremendously.

[@dalesearcy5734]

Back in the late 80's and 90's, I loved to cross country ski into the mountains. The best part of it was usually the trip back down. I had to quit doing this when my back became an issue for me. I miss those days and I enjoy you taking me with you on your trips.

[@signemarkuson1940]

Have you noticed the smell of the air with an icy snow? Its so clean.

[@a-a-ron2336]

I worked out of Florida. on a job in Michigan. lived in New Mexico. Spending my Christmas vacation in New Mexico had an emergency call New Year's Eve to be in Bremerton Washington new Year's day 😂. We fly in it's overcast. We were there three weeks before we realized we were surrounded by mountains. It was surprisingly warmer there than we expected 👍 Worked in medical building operations. For some reason after that, I found myself the West Coast consultant for 113 medical facilities🎉 Love it out there.. Let's goooooo ✌️

[@michaelhart5070]

I live in my old mans truck camper on my parents property. I have 3 sources of heat surrounding me in a heat triangle where i sit. my ps4 on my right rear radiator side blowing hot hair towards me, a mini oil filled 700 watt radiator on my left while the 2 heat sources converge on each other. and a heated blanket behind me. so i stay above 22c when its 3c outside.

[@danandtab7463]

Yes that is a very cute cat. It's hard to say which cat I've seen is the cutest, I think it's a million way tie for the top spot.

[@hodad200]

Love the 80’s music packing montage

[@randyrowett7998]

Wow! A great video. I also would Ike to.have the snow all year. A day of hiiking is terrific. Great cooking, Jonathan. Hello to Luna, maybe she can accompany you on a future trip. Just a terrific way to unwind in the camper. I like the set-up.

[@SP6X6]

I have a 99 PS w/ 9-6 Bigfoot 1500.Been doing this for years hunting.Have 2- 6v golf cart battery,120w solar, usually pulls it back.The main heater uses most power turn on and pre heat on way to camp if you can, or run truck a bit at same time.I also run a 2000 Honda gen.for dinner 1/2 to 1 hr, then go to my wave after that.If its zero F, then I run on low at night.Antifreeze pipes, when out for a week or more you have to keep your water jugs from freezing, I put in cooler or in front of heater. 1.5 foam in all but my main window and all roof vents with rigid foam. 1'' foam under camper toons extra on bed.Big double size bag and a wobble on top, when in the real cold.If I need I have a buddy heat w/ 5 # tank for extra heat or to point under my diesel , 7.3. Gen can recharge any of my batteries, have cord right to gen to house power

[@feliciaturman2849]

Your music is dope ❤

[@NOMADPLUSOFFICIAL]

As former SAR, you should ALWAYS have Shelter, Water, Fire & Food (SWiFF) with you when hiking/snowshoeing, and especially in winter. You NEVER know what can happen. The weather can turn in mere minutes and cause you to be stranded out in the mountains, or an injury can too. I have been on hundreds of resuces where people were "just out for a short hike/snowshoe" and had to be rescued. Some even helivaced out the wilds.

[@karl39100]

So excited to see winter camping videos again. Looking forward to the next one!

[@nancycain4434]

It's beautiful up on Mount Hood again this winter. That's the nice thing about living in the Portland area. If you want snow, it's just a short drive .I have been wanting to get up there to Meadows to do some skiing. I haven't been up there in about 3 years. But I do like to go up and enjoy the snow . safe travels.

[@rosemaryspencer1501]

Luna is a lovely precious little cat.❤

[@bobdrago69657]

More chill videos from JY. Worry about you getting caught in a unforcasted blizzard. Happened to us years ago while snow shoeing in Vermont. We were lucky we found our way back, a mere 2 miles but practically blinded and feeling disoriented. There were some locals hiking and turning around too, so we followed them with fingers crossed. You out Macked the Mac. Love the Japanese mayonnaise. Stay safe.

[@JonnyDIY]

Yeah hiking alone in the snow is scary, i always get nervous when I see people doing it. At least I think Jonathan carries a gps locator device for emergency

[@dreamzofhorses]

I did some snow shoe hiking in Mammoth in the mid 90's. It was stunning and so much fun. The snow was pristine, the sun was shinning, so quiet and still. It's one of my favorite memories. Your snow shoes are very cool they have come a long way over the years. They make hiking in snow so much easier. Happy travels!

[@martna1]

I put tube socks from Dollar Tree on my wiper blades.

[@JonathanYentch]

Good idea!

[@brettotte6470]

I use a windshield tarp that’s made for my vehicle for $3.99. Secures tight slamming ends in the doors. Keeps it snow & ice free.

[@donnaowens1522]

Luna is my 3 year old grand daughter's name. Fabulous!!! I just adore your adventures and the food you make, Happy trails to you 🏔🏂🌨❄❄❄.

[@Lalunabreeze]

My name addy is LaLunaBreeze. Love the name Luna. Magical name..

[@sondrajohnson2564]

I, too, LOVE the absolute stillness of snowy winter. I look forward to more winter videos. Love the sweet kitty! And great tree! Sometimes the quirky ones are always the most heart warming and downright fun!!!❤🎉❤☃️🌲 Question. How warm is your camper? Does your heater keep it at a reasonable temp? And what do you consider a reasonable temp? The worry in winter is water lines freezing. Be safe and thanks for another great vid!

[@TopoftheLineTraining]

Hey Jonathan A note on TC, good that you emptied the tanks, but you can use them in this fashion…make sure you get Rv antifreeze and you should always have a gallon with you, so you could get a gallon, two gallon, five gallon jug of water, put on counter and wash dishes this way. Followed by some antifreeze…as well using bathroom, same way…I know seems like a pain but it is a way to use it…of course you would dump as soon as you can… I own a TC and lived in it for over a year…I will recommend a channel Kenny of all trades…he does winter camping in his TC but also if you are not using it I would put RV antifreeze in the lines just to be safe Take care!

[@maryk790]

LUNA IS A CUTIE PIE And you video was very relaxing And your dinner made me HUNGRY SAFE AND FUN TRAVELS

[@jjcrash50]

Great video. If you're feeling adventurous there's some good snow already in Eastern Oregon. Tip for you: when your rv is winterized bring a couple gallon jugs of water for the toilet. You can pour water into the bowl to use. Just have to dump black tank after your trip. No other re-winterizing to do.

[@knittingnana2939]

You forgot the onions. 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. You put the diced onions on top of the patties.

[@craigwall9536]

Good to see you still around!

[@peppergrinder8947]

I grew up in southern Idaho and now live south of Portland, this time of year has been hard on me. I never realized how much I need the sunshine

[@1995arv]

My idea of dream camping, out there in the elements. Surviving and winning!

[@kaitebursley1960]

You definitely want to pump anti-freeze through your lines! We do it every winter, one year we forgot to flush some thru the toliet. We ended up with a leaking toilet in the spring, cracked one of our water lines that goes into the toliet.

[@koalaimpala25]

Heck yes! I love seeing new vids from you pop up, Jonathan! Love your channel! I showed some of your videos to my dad on Thanksgiving, and he really enjoys them, too. Anyways, have a great week, J-man.

Absolutely stunning scenery man! Wish I could experience that with a truck and truck camper of my own at some point. Awesome as always bro!✌

[@EzeAdventurer]

[@toddramsay977]

Bulleit Bourbon is pronounced Bull Light. I am from Shelbyville, KY. They have a distillery across the street from the entrance to Guist Creek Lake where I fish quite a bit. It is mayb 5 miles from my home. Great video! I love my bourbon. My faves, Kentucky Gentleman $8 a 5th on the low end to Knob Creek $30 a 5th on the high end. Yellowstone is another good bourbon. Early Times and Kentucky Tavern round out some of my go to’s. Everyone wants very high end bourbon like 4 Roses or the most expensive Pappy Van Winkle ($2k for a 5th), and they are a “you love it or you don’t” bourbons.

[@Romans-nk4wt]

That's not a snowstorm, that'sa dusting! I live in mountain town Estes Park, where we get several feet of snow.

[@ForeverChanged7]

He snow covered conifers are just so delicate. It looks as if someone whipped cream and just covered the landscape in a winter wonderland. So gorgeous. I don't know that I would Fancy snow shoeing. I am a blazin' a trail kind of girl but it was worth the work to really see how pretty it was up there. I would do it for sure. You had the right idea with the Bullitt Whiskey. It looked like it hit the spot and those Whiskey glasses that had the 3D mountain scapes blown into the bottom of the glass is just soooo sick. What a perfect gift for that special person who enjoys a good Whiskey and a classic, conversation starter, whiskey glass. I have to ck out Huckleberry for sure. Quality goods for sure. I bet the BIG Mac you made was better than Mickey D"s. My mouth was salivating. Well, beautiful video Jonathan. Merry Christmas my friend. Hope it's among the most memorable and the best. See ya next time!🎅🎅🎅🌴🌊🌊🌊🏄🌊💛

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Like the menu choice this week! Quick tip for the drive thru crowd, add big mac sauce to a McDouble and smash some fries in the sandwich. Or if your going to the BK, add extra tomato to the whopper and smash in some fries! For the home burger, try a smash burger - slivered onions, cook in olive oil, push to the side, throw on the burger, when flipping flip onto the pile of onions, smash it down, add cheese, if you can pan toast the buns in burger juice and put one on top. Let the onion steam up into the burger, I like to add the ketchup into the pan and mix with rest of the juice and get good and hot. Serve juicy! Oh, forgot - you should carry 3 ways to make fire, Water proof matches, lighter, small candle or waxed wood sticks and perhaps an iso butane stove/pot in the backpack. It would be interesting to see a video of simulation of getting stuck in the snow...

[@genespell4340]

You should buy a pair of wraparound amber safety glasses. They are great for being out in wind driven snow, rain and dust/dirt and they are great for night driving.

[@BOB12349307]

dude come on their was like one inch of snow!!

[@lindapaknik1361]

I miss my backpacking, hiking, camping, snow shoeing, rock climbing, and skiing (downhill and cross country) days. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease which put a damper on my outdoor activities. At least watching your videos brings back great memories 😊. I still have all my equipment, snow shoes, skies, etc. I’m a fan of North Face, Patagonia, Salomon Skis, Rossignol Cross Country Skis, Yukon Snow Shoes, Black Diamond Climbing gear. Just reminiscing 😊. Maybe if my disease goes into remission, I’ll return to my outdoor activities. Thanks for sharing 😊. Take care!

[@kaistewart364]

I don’t know if you primed those glow plugs or not in that 7.3 when you hopped in it. Started good. But definitely when u hop in prime those glow plugs first, truck will like it.

Here for Luna 🌚😸 Wow that was a 🍔 BIG Mac. Looked great. The secret to a mac sauce is extra sugar. They really sneak in more sugar into it and the buns. Yours looked better though PS- so your truck got all fixed at the mechanics?

[@johnripley6298]

It's slow up here in mid Minnesota too. We just got an inch of snow yesterday on Sat, first rain, then it got colder and then snow, with ice below the snow.

Oh my - now I want a Big Mac - yours looked soooo good. Considering it is 1 am , it will have to wait. And yes Luna is quite cute as is my Luna which is a very large Alaskan Malamute. And finally - love the tree. In my younger days we used to cut our own, but I can’t really manage the walk in the woods at 74. Thanks for sharing the snowy views.
