Off-Grid Winter Pickup Truck Camping with My Dog / Sleeping in a DIY 2 Foot Camper Extension

My dog Scout and I take my F150 off grid and camp in the woods for 3 days. We hike, cut firewood, and cook our meals over the fire. We sleep in the back of my truck with the help of my DIY 2 foot camper extension.

There's a real beauty to an old dog. You can feel the love in their eyes ❤

THE PARTS I LOVE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO CAMPING: THE COOKING AND THE DOG .

You are almost my age but your soul and spirit gives me courage to go onnwith my life thank tou

Thank you good video and good dog. I'm Japanese and I'm not good at English but I always enjoy your you tube.

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thank you very much!

Very nice supper looks like a good time with your best friend

Beautiful grey face pups are the best. Watching your adventures make this lockdown so much more bearable.

Thanks 😊

You’re really jamming when you remember the sour cream! Scout looks like an outstanding camping buddy! ☮️

[@Deathwing2001]

“I will stay up here in my warm blanket while my human does all the work for me” :Scout the Dog. 🐕 😀 Great truck camping spot Scott, it’s such a remote place away from anybody.

[@bluesideup007]

Thanks for taking us along, The bacon smelled delicious! I love winter camping. I use my truck to get to trailheads, then sled (pulk) in my gear. I use a hammock exclusively all four seasons. Most of my truck camping has been in the western US, and much of that in parking lots of ski areas. Lost count after more than 100 days. Ontario is my favorite area for extended solo canoe trips.

[@dennisdaly1957]

Love your truck set up and that slide out. Great IDEA. You should show more about how you set up your truck. There's a lot of us that would love to see it. Nice dog. wish my Coonhound would be that mindful. He sees or even smells a deer I'm there for 3 days looking for him. But it's a great excuse for staying longer.

[@dwrivers47]

I’m envious at your ability to adventure / camp alone or solo, as well as how you slow down and relax / enjoy the little things. I’ve solo tripped twice but I enjoy company much more.

[@DB-jh1kd]

Great video! Very peaceful.

[@trishaharrison6183]

You eat like a king. I just love the whole set up of your truck. Just pack some food and go. Scout looked priceless all wrapped up in the back. Although I don’t think she was too happy at the end when you were talking and not giving her bacon. Lol Thanks for sharing another great scenic adventure😘

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Thanks 👍

Outstanding video, as always. The problem I saw was that scrumptious steak, which made me hungry after I've already eaten dinner. Keep up the good work. See you on the next video. 🧡

You’ve probably answered this before, but is your extension build easily removable from the bed or is it more or less a permanent fixture ?

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Very easily removable. There will be a video out in a couple of weeks that will explain it.

[@thelifeofant4211]

Starting my short bed conversion soon and fell in love with your videos while watching the extension video. Cannot wait to watch more of your content! Any tips on the extension, things you'd do differently, etc? Planning to finish mine for some winter camping! Safe travels

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you! Honestly, there's really nothing I would change. I'd have to say it works perfectly. it's simple and I can take it out easily. I have a few new truck camping videos coming out soon starting this Friday. They will show more of the camper extension and my awning setup as well. Good luck with yours. Cheers, Scott.

[@janiceolivia6821]

I really enjoyed your adventure. Winter camping is my thing and like you as I get older, keeping closer to my truck is becoming a priority. Like you, just me and my dog Oliver. Right now we are packing in with a sled but your truck set up is lookin' pretty appealing. Do you have a video of a tour of it?

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Yes, there are several on my channel.

I've tried pipe insulation. I find the blankets are the easiest to use. They stay in place better too.
