I Want To See Mountains Again, Mountains Gandalf! Camping In The Tacoma

[@atvman772]

I would def be into a, “How I Find My Campsites” vid!

[@Aglassact77]

Great ride a long video Mike. You always take us along with you , and give us new ideas for camping and bushcraft . Absolutely love what you do on this channel. Congrats on the growing family. I remember those days , working hard, spending time with the wife, tent camping, babies, kid’s sports, now mine are high-school and college . It’s happens fast bro , spend lots of time with them , it’s precious !!! Later on bro 😎

[@ikampertech]

Weekenderlander Mike is back! Love following along on these adventures - much love from the iKamper crew!

[@yankey4]

Brother thanks for taking us on the trip. Been in the hospital thanks to my Crones disease. Was nice to have a brake. The videos help let me forget about the pain. Much love brother. Thanks and God bless

[@aaronm5149]

Sometimes it’s these little excursions that help relieve stress and help us recenter so we can press on. I hope this had that affect for you Mike. I’m sure life’s gotten crazy with a new family and house and business and KZbin to keep up with. Thanks for sharing and hope you stay well.

[@irishdefense77]

If you want some truly high quality freeze dried food,try Packit Gourmet which is the best food out in the wild.

[@justynmaglalang9104]

Loved the video as always man. Been following for several years now and your adventures have inspired me a ton. I have 4 kiddos so don’t have much time to camp but we do try to get out on the trails to explore new areas, and hang out. Always love that you encourage everyone to still get out even if they don’t have a fancy rig, or the time to get out on big multi day treks. For me, just getting out on a trail, setting up out spot, cooking some food, hanging out no heading home at dark…this does so much for me in such a positive way mentally. Hoping that when my girls are older, they’ll appreciate being outdoors as much as I do. Anyways sorry for the long rant but just wanted to see thanks man! ✌🏼

[@Michael_Tran]

Sweet! The Tacoma is getting some dirt again. Man what an adventure.

[@nickmartino2839]

Thank God!!!!! Man I've missed these!!!! But I'm also glad you've got married had that beautiful baby...and built your new house!!!!god bless you brother!!!!!

[@redfin01]

Great video! From the tips, soundtrack, planning, & sharing the overall experience.

[@Soulcritic]

Back in the day we cooked over an open camp fire! Loaded up the Crown Vic with a crappy tent & an ice chest with beer & Brats. Brought the boom box with D cell batteries for Jerry tunes. Brought a couple of Maglites & went camping. I understand why with fire restrictions ya can't have an open camp fire. If ya got no fire restrictions build a camp fire!

[@Steppin1107]

Planning to go camping in a few weeks with a few buddies. This vid should help tide me over

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Nice, where at?

[@762Coolhand]

@@LastLineOfDefenseWhat trails should be open at then in of April?

[@dangrab0wski]

Welcome back to the outdoors. Need to get in an 18 hour therapy sesh myself.

[@AndrewWells527]

Did some work-night camping last night to catch the solar storm. Worth it and agree, doesn't need to be a week or even a full weekend.

[@TazBot6]

That OnX video will help out, especially with how you explain things. Thank you for the motivation. Keep up the good work!

[@daneveasman5280]

Yes!! Another weekendlander episode! I’ve been enjoying all the various content on your channel, but I’ve definitely missed this segment! 😃

[@Cluster-orchestrator]

Nice point about the 18hour adventures. I’ll have to start doing the same.

[@markm7677]

Congratulations on the baby. Happy to see you back in the tacoma! You inspired to empty out my wallet into my truck when I started, and it's still getting emptied 2 years later 😂😂. Great video as always.

[@JamesReedy]

Seems like you'd be a good candidate for a Decked system, that diamondback as much as I like it doesn't really work well with the RTT on there, you'd have to army crawl to get stuff further back. I ended up going with the Retrax MX Pro, while you lose 12" I have a DCLB so I'm left with basically short bed storage from the wheel wells up and long bed from the wheel wells down. You can still access the space under the canister or store something under there.

[@granvillej3316]

Excellent video can’t wait to see these new adventures here take care❤❤❤❤

[@konrad0311]

Can’t wait to get my Ikamper , loving the Diamondback so far🤘🏼

[@VentureOutOverland]

Happy to see you had a chance to get for the weekend. As always great content Mike and thanks for all the tips!

[@zendoubt89]

Nice vid Mike. I like the sentiment. The wife and I bought our first house this year and we’ve felt wicked busy all summer so It’s been hard to fit in the things we usually enjoy. We need to take a page out of your book and just do our own 18 hour adventure. Love your videos and can’t wait for the next one 👍

[@a5_wagyuuu476]

I'm happy a weekenderlander dropped. Good to see ya getting back out there with the Tacoma bruhhhh. 🍺🍺🍺

[@riffle91ar]

Super stoked to see you finally getting back out in a rig and enjoying nature.

[@drayray4009]

Yes Mike! Yes! Love these man love that the Tacoma is finally out and about stretching her legs!

[@Itsjrob_]

I’ve definitely missed these vibes man ! Glad ur back brother 🖤these videos get me so pumped to get outside 🤙🏾

[@L.B.R.9]

Cool vid love the explaining and reasoning and how easy it is to go out on a small adventure keep up the great vids especially weekender landers

[@goforbroke6026]

I can tell your truck is happy.

[@J.Young808]

Like the Warrior Poet shirt I have one too and a sling, stock sock, belt and knife

[@Seanicus17]

This just made my weekend. Absolutely love this series!

[@yp8120]

So excited to see the weekenderlander is back! Your Tacoma looks amazing!

[@amorton94]

A weekenderlander?! Let's goooo!!!!

[@GSIOutdoorsLLC]

Awesome setup! 🔥

[@EverydayJ1786]

The Question is Mike .... Did you ever take that nature dump.... ? Did the mosquitos have a feast on your behind? 😂😂

[@harmanladd1805]

Hey man, I love your content. Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless you.

[@NerdyPatriot]

Love the LOTR reference.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Bilbo knew what was up

[@NerdyPatriot]

@@LastLineOfDefense He sure did!

[@NL1T3N]

I tried to grab those orange lanterns with your affiliate link but they weren’t in your store. They were only 15$ during prime day, so I grabbed a set. Love these videos. I haven’t done any camping since I was a kid, but it is just a calming view into the outside world. Keep rocking mike!! 🤙🏽

[@metazoantexas5914]

Loving the retro music 🤘🏻

[@harvmac69]

Dang the Taco looks amazing!! #Goals!

[@amorton94]

"Brad is kind of off the deep end." Sounds like Brad and I would get along. I don't have any of the listening things "activated" either. 😂

[@vince4316]

I'm not a Tacoma guy, but your rig is truly Bad Ass

[@amorton94]

Me neither. What's your preference?

[@GATORADDAM]

First of your videos I've watched in a while. Gotta watch the ones with the Tacoma! But 18 hours is just enough to piss me off! Come September 16th I'm out there for 6 weeks! BTW. If you've never done the White Rim trail.... Do it!

[@martinesguerra497]

Classic weekenderlander! Nice video! Bonus on the war poet shirt 🍻

[@chadmiddleton465]

Enjoyed the video man!

[@Timberjo2]

Glad to see another weekenderlander! Remind me Mike, what is the jacket you were wearing in the morning in this video?

[@CQSKclan]

Man! I’m also in Colorado! I’d love to meet up and go camping! Been looking for some people to meet up with to do some camping!

[@jerrypomroy2375]

Little Easter egg addition at the very end. Reminded me of the Marvel movies…lol.

[@wkwrpg4392]

Appreciate all your efforts to get the cool trail shots. I can't help but wonder if a drone would accomplish the same thing and be easier to recover.

[@Terranmmhl]

Another absolutely great video! Its great to see you are coming back to the weekenderlander stuff. they're always such great videos! Im hoping you run into The Explore Life guys from Australia as they're currently over in the US doing some of their adventure stuff. that'd make a sick collab haha. a guy can dream

[@EagleEyeHunts]

Dropping a like just for the title! Nerds unite!

[@Oh_You_Know_]

Woooo Love me some Weekenderlanders videos!

[@weekendlander9344]

I've watched you for a long time and the amount of progress your channel has grown. Your family. One thing I noticed after this video was "Where did Mike do qith all those gear?" LOL if you're ever interested in selling any pieces of gear or camping items. I'd be interested.

[@peterb1977]

Appreciate the content. Definitely looking forward to the trip planning. Living in the northeast we are limited to open trails and public land. I was also wondering what you have on your hood? Looks like a large magnet with a wire coming out the back?

[@hankf616]

Is there enough space when the iKamper (x-cover or sky camp) is closed to house two of the inflatable mattresses? Having two layers of those iKamper mattresses would make for a nice place to sleep… assuming they wouldn’t slide all around.

[@raulriveracrazycat5959]

Time for another video Mike

[@thatoneguythatscrolls]

Shoutout John Warrior Poet Society with the tee

[@bobbyt1shot224]

Hole crap are you feeling ok Mike ... Back in the saddle ..YAHOO... Luv ya...

[@emanfoo07]

Looking for a new experience, i dont mind a 2hr drive to camp. What is one solid & easy place to go camping that isnt right outside of denver?

[@harleyhall7082]

Hey Mike, good to see you camping again! You mentioned mosquitoes a few times but not your solution. We just got back from a 6 day trek and got destroyed by mosquitoes, any products or tips?

[@icarrymyrevolverinsingleac9564]

[@ritmaha]

#TheRocksWereAlive, why we luv the outdoors.. good vid and gear.

[@RamPatriot]

Want to acknowledge you as the best presenter at referencing goods and topics in the description. My pet peeve is presenters who say they will link something in the description but fail to do so. I can’t think of any excuse for this. Why say it if you have no intention of doing it. Further, I’m amazed at how many presenters make the false statement, really irritating. So, thank you for that extra effort. It gets noticed.

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Yes! Weekenderlander is back to help me through the Australian winter. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@YoungChunds]

Question: I would like to do more dispersed camping in my Tacoma but worry about bears breaking into my truck. Do you hang your food supplies in a tree? What’s the solution to this?

[@C9coolio]

Hey Mike, you mentioned that you might know of leak if you are in the hunting community. Living in the great elk hunting state of Colorado, have you ever been interested in hunting? Just wondering what your thoughts are on the subject and if you might get into that. I am currently diving into the hunting world here in AZ after being originally interested in overlanding through your videos and building my Tacoma out similar to yours.

[@Sboverland3]

I want to go camping also! Lol

[@JonnyBgooD007]

As always, I love your videos. Do you run a dual battery setup? If so, what are you running?

[@sambro9134]

Nice rig, Yo!

[@amaurycaraballo1254]

@LastLineOfDefense, Like always, great content! Question, what kind of bedrack do you have!? I see yours is like mid-height. Because I want my truck to fit in the garage with the rooftop tent on. I also have a bed cover, is a soft trifold, but if I can leave it on, it would be great! Thanks for videos!

[@amaurycaraballo1254]

Found out my self! Your bedrack is mounted on the bed cover! Never mind. 😅

[@JCreole]

19:58 You crowning bro? 😂😂😂

[@bretgriffin8628]

This one has me wondering, when will you be removing the wrap on the taco? I wrapped my runner two years ago (slightly inspired by the poop cruiser) and while not professionally installed I feel like it’s getting close to pull.

[@AlihanJamshidi]

Is ur tailgate modified? Its like ford pro access What is its name??

[@dvang2]

Link to the mattress please!

[@J.Young808]

Mike I know you will love ai until they come for Cooper then you’ll put some 5.56x45 freedom seeds into their domes😂

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha yeah, it was a joke of me trying to get on their nice list

[@AlbertAguilera22]

How would you rate that blow up mattress in terms of comfortability 1 to 10?

[@coryvickers4184]

I’m jealous!

[@drayray4009]

Tailgate touching lmao gotta steal that from you when things get kinda gay at camp lol

[@randyfoster6843]

What’s the secret sauce to get 35’s to fit without the horrible rubbing noise.

Lift and cutting. He's gone over it in the past. I'd go back and watch the most recent video that goes over the tacoma.

He's taking the Hobbits to overland
