Major snow storm while camping in Napier Truck Tent!

[@stevebroten9196]

Bought one of these 10 years ago. Love in Florida . Use for hunting. Temps down to 33 in Gainesville and up to 85 in Brooksville. Still have it. Thinking of using it one more time (I'm 65) Money well spent. If you are thinking of one of these go for it 👍

[@jajones43]

As a veteran with some issues going on I have found solace in only one thing here lately, my Son and I fishing and camping. I just traded in my dream car camaro Ss bells and whistles because I wanted an fx4 to do more then what we could. This video is inspirational. Every person that tells you that you have helped with this, that’s real! Thank you Get outside and breath!

Something you might think about 12 volt electric blanket, I've had one for over 14 years and I also have a 12 volt coffee maker which in 7 minutes you got hot water for anything you want.!!!! I have all the goodies I have a Napier backroads camo I have a full size air bed that fits right between the wheel wells queen size sleeping bag also a sleeping bag liner and a 12 volt electric blanket just in case. I'm thinking about getting me a little like 5 ft 1x10 and round all the corners and sand it down and use it for a shelf and just put it up at the far end then you got a shelf and you can set everything on it.

[@DirtRoadReset]

Great suggestion! I'll look into it!

[@mistersteve383]

As a truck driver I got to see the run into Phoenix from the North from Flagstaff. Saw the elevations for the first time and literally said this must be where it snows In AZ. It was 105deg everywhere that day

[@shaman9628]

I shot off the line with a Kodiak Canvas Truck tent. Just received it. Almost three months waiting. We're going camping out at the swell this weekend.

[@koalafan1576]

Thanks for letting us know how the tent handled the snow. I am going to be getting that same tent and know it’s a 3 season tent without the covers on the windows.

[@DirtRoadReset]

You betcha! I can't testify as to how it would do in a multi-day heavy snow event, but it certainly outperformed my expectations on this trip.

[@exploringnext1111]

Just camped in my Napier in 32 degrees and rain in MT....LOVE IT!

[@raymondtrendle9428]

Propane heaters burn clear. Learned that living on a military base and had to call the fire department when my utility room in base housing seemed to hot. They responded and the exhaust from the heater was actually venting into the utility room and the CO2 detector next to it never went off. The FD said its because propane burns clear. (Never defined what that meant)

i really love it to watch a winter camping and i love nature too, please keep vlogging...

[@thomashindle3570]

Tom from Quebec Canada You need to buy a trailer Compost heater ( compost heater ) Compost will go up to 140f Put some pipes together and a fan and you will have heat . Put a plastic water pipe in the compost and you will have hot water . Just Think ? You can heat anything if You only think ?

[@darrellrogers3511]

Great video! Please show setup and breakdown of bed tent, doesn't get old even if you show it every time.

[@sweetnectar83]

Thank you for the explanation on the buddy heater. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@ricksundberg5659]

I have the Napier with the Sportz Link tent for the ground behind the truck and it is well worth it. I have a Ford F-350 with an 8' bed and that Napier tent is almost 10 feet long to where it ends on the tailgate so with the Sportz Link the whole thing is like 18 feet long. I also put an ez up after the Sportz Link for a vestibule so it is closer to 28 feet when all said and done. I have a 30' toy hauler and I prefer going places it can't make it to go hunting and fishing so this is the answer for me.

[@thomashindle3570]

Tom from Quebec Canada Yes we are good camper thank you

[@MichaelRoyDuckworth]

I live and camp in north western Canada. Rarely do we experience the common damp cold and wet snow of what the U.S. gets. Damp cold and snow sucks the heat out of beings like jumping into an Arctic Ocean. I feel for your cold. Yes I am Canadian and no we are not the cold lovers and survivors like the myths.

[@act8065]

That is what all of Ontario is like as well. Brutal.

[@ictpilot]

Scott is definitely prepared! I would like to see his setup.

[@exploringnext1111]

Couldnt live without my little Buddy Heater but I had a lot of condensation...was sure to ventilate.

[@timothyrenner7216]

I have a Napier truck tent as well, but it is far from water resistant even with the rain fly. That last two times I went camping the Tent was soaked and it didn't even rain....I will throw extra tarps over the tent next time... after watching your video you mentioned condensation. My fiance and myself were in my tent maybe thats why is the tent was soaked...

[@fjb4932]

Correct. Need ventilation ...

[@daleval2182]

Dry in sun well, spray 3 M, water and stain gaurd, it recommend this when you buy new, good insurance from getting wet, you have a broken seam, inspect, if so use a nylon patch kit, but if it didnt rain, ITS CALLED CONDENSATION, CRACK THE WINDOWS

[@bilstein2410]

My photography buddy and I drove to the Grand Canyon from Lake Haavasu. We had NO IDEA that it snowed. I ended up breaking my ankle with the cah cah shoes I had on the ice. Defiantly know what you are getting into before you get there

[@grubnstuff5928]

We are getting ours out next weekend. Mt. Charleston in Nevada. Too early for snow like that I hope.

[@nicoletate6929]

You can’t use a buddy heater in a tent, it causes condensation, this is why you have water inside and everything is wet.

[@DirtRoadReset]

Wrong.

[@mrs.c5471]

@@DirtRoadReset Actually she’s both right and wrong, they can be used in a tent, but propane does cause condensation

[@DirtRoadReset]

@@mrs.c5471 Propane is indeed a wet heat, but absolutely CAN be used in a tent. With proper ventilation, it's usually no big deal. Condensation will always form no matter what depending on the weather and ground conditions. Its an accepted part of winter camping.

[@stanw909]

Look for a Coleman Black Cat heater. Much more stable than the Buddy heater.

[@yvanlachance8269]

Thank you!

[@daleval2182]

My advice bring a C02 detector if you use a buddy, or any fuel heater

Always! It's always behind my head above the pillow on the truck bed lip.

[@jamesmulkey3645]

WOW! Really enjoyed your vlog. I am a lifelong resident of the Deep South so as you might guess my vaca motto is "if it ain't snowin, I ain't goin"! I have a truck bed tent arriving today and your overnight has me super stoked! Unfortunately, I will have about an 11-hour drive from the beach to the Smokies. Your camera work was very good, as was your voice-over. Straight forward, no 50 cent words just gorgeous scenery. Def leaned on the like and subscribe! now for some constructive criticism if I may? I have been a personal witness to how quickly a hatchet can ruin a camping trip, especially in freezing conditions, even while being used by experienced hands. This particular habit keeps the National Guard current on their extractions but it will cost you around $1,500 if conditions force a chopper to come from Knoxville. No matter what one wishes to accomplish with a hatch, there is a MUCH SAFER tool to get it done. Second, I think you might have used the heater only when you were awake and let a good sleeping bag do its thing until morning. Other than that, I cant wait to see (and hear) your next outing!

[@MichaelRoyDuckworth]

I'm from north western Canada and not boasting about it. The damp/wet snow you are dealing with is absolutely the most uncomfortable and difficult to deal with. Moisture/water sucks heat out of everything faster than anything. I'd rather live or camp at 0F/-18C than in damp conditions. Often I wished it would get colder to have warmer feet.

[@MrRay3801]

Yeah, I live in south MS and we dont get any snow but when it does get down in the teens for that odd day or two, Ive had people from Maine tell me they never felt the cold with 100% humidity. Its a different type of cold that zaps you from the core. I was up in Altoona, PA one Christmas where it snowed 24" one day and I was out walking in it all day and was fine....but in 20 F at 100% humidity, Im running for the heat!!

Propane heaters that aren't vented outside will off H2O as a waste product, so the tent isn't to blame.

Realistically if Springbar actually sold a truck tent, I'd of payed more just because China isn't involved. They design their products in Salt Lake City and manufacture them in Salt Lake City as well.

[@Evosol1]

How is the ventilation of the tent, did you get much condensation inside?

[@DirtRoadReset]

As much as can be expected, the fly still keeps airflow throughout and the top vent works well at keeping heat distribution good. Most of the condensation came from the buddy heater.

[@jpisme9082]

Which ever you buy be sure to upgrade the poles to aluminum. I measured mine and ordered aluminum poles from Amazon. The fiberglass easily shatter because the fit is so tight. I purchased new poles 1" shorter than the original poles.
