Snow Camping in Rooftop Tent - Overland / Car Camping Gear Updates

[@KrokemOutdoors]

I left my wife to create content for you guys, true. But let me share that me going out and filming was actually her idea, and she was very insistent. While I am grateful for her and realize how lucky I am to have such a supportive life partner, we still came up with a game plan in case anything were to happen. I appreciate your support and concern. I will also do a follow up video on the baby and all of the learning experiences we’ve had in our first few days with her so far. Cheers

What are you cooking the ribs on over the fire? do you have a brand I could check out?

Well I'm glad you got out good to see you guys were fine before the baby came. But I can tell you weren't to comfortable being away from katie. All was good decent video lots of snow out there. Your tires looked covered half way up! Well looking forward to the follow up stay safe Shinn Family with baby Chloe 🍼

Dude, she is a keeper!!!! She LET you go out and play, while she was overdue... that would have been a red-hot negative with my wife... glad Mom and baby are doing great.. you all are going to be great parents for your daughter.. Rock steady brother!

[@KrokemOutdoors]

@dan_cooper I am grateful for this every single day. I did reassure her that I wouldn’t be more than a couple of hours away if anything were to happen. When her water broke, it took her about 6 hours before contractions started so it would have been ample time. With that said, I got her the best sushi platter as a start to saying thank you after birth 😆

[@tonygaines15]

@DanCooper I would've NEVER left my wife in that situation! Doesn't matter if she would let me or not💯 You say "she's a keeper"......what about the father of her baby?

Love that I live in Australia where I don’t need a gun.

Open carry isn’t shameful. Leaving it out of sight also isn’t shameful. Putting it out of view shows modern civility. Leaving it out, an unnecessary display to humans and animals.

[@kennethken8974]

The fact that you need a gun to go camping is shameful, but I guess that's the price of your so called freedom. Almost all other countries don't need to carry a gun to enjoy nature.

[@WorthyBuzz]

This may surprise you but most people in America don’t feel the NEED to have a gun to go camping. Not sure how that became such a “fact” about Americans. We’re very capable of camping without one, just like most countries. Get off your high horse and try your best to not let stereotypes shape your thoughts.

You did what... going out winter camping in the snow with your past due pregnant wife at home... Looked like a successful awesome trip... Your rig is outstanding, your gear is as well. That's funny, I purchased a dwealt 12" chainsaw on Friday. Great sleep system. Ribs looking good... Water breaking is no false alarm... baby is coming. By the time you read this you'll have a few days with your new baby girl... without much sleep at all. Congratulations to Katie and you on your new bundle of joy. 🎉🎆🎈

[@RolandoNispiros]

What a good short trip. You're brave to have gone lol. My wife would have killed me. When my wife was pregnant with our twins, she went in for a routine checkup. I stayed home because it was going to be a quick thing. I did yard work and took my time. When I went into the house I had all these voicemails saying basically get over to the hospital. Oh man, nearly missed it. If I went camping, I would have totally missed it. The food looked amazing! The portable heater was a nice size. The cooler was well, cool! For improving cell reception, I have a a Weboost cell booster. It brings my 1 bar at home to at least 3-4 bars. Will look into the deicer. Looks like a good idea.

[@KrokemOutdoors]

@rolando_nispiros thanks Rolando ! Yeah, missing the birth was a huge concern to me, so planning this out carefully was paramount. Glad to hear it worked out for you, and great job on getting twins! I consider that a huge blessing 👍🙏

I will tune into your channel for product updates/reviews and to see where i can take the truck once it's fully equipped. Live in Los Angeles so the trips will be atleast 4-5 day.

Nice, you got into more snow and more cold than we did! I'm not complaining though, LOL.

Maybe I should just try shredding the foam into small pieces like yours, I can see how that already would be better. Looked like a great time, we'll have to get out into some snow once I recover from my trip! :-)
