ROADS CLOASED and forced to sleep here tonight - Winter Truck Camping

Subfreezing Winter Camping in a 4x4 RV Truck Camper with me Larry, a solo nomad living in a truck camper. After an unexpected heavy snow fall near Flagstaff, AZ. The roads aren't plowed and camping is near impossible to find. I go deep into the forest on an untraveled road that hasn't been plowed and nearly get stuck!! I have to back up my truck and camper several miles because I wasn't able to turn around due to the deep snow. I find shelter near a relaxing roadside parking area for a trail and sleep for the night. My heater has issues and has problems starting!! Below freezing temps makes being outside unbearable so me and the dogs stay inside and warm all night. I make a warm pot of jambalaya and thaw out my feet.

It's awesome to see Arizona snow. There's so much beauty in this country that I may never have a chance to see other than here on KZbin. Thanks for sharing the great adventure!

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Hey no problem Kenny! Actuality when I passed back through that area 3 days later all that snow was gone!! Lol 😂 so much for me camping in the snow again lol

[@Austin-316]

If you like Arizona snow, just check out maine snow in the middle of winter

[@robertdodd9623]

Beautiful place and Ice Cold Blue Ribbon . I'm Jealous !

[@truckcampinglife]

I did this same thing a couple weeks ago. I have camped most of my adult life so I should have known better. But I took a chance and it cost me dearly. While trying to rock myself out I ended up losing my reverse in my truck and was stuck out there for almost 2 weeks before I was able to get out. Remember this is your home while your out there. I learned the hard way.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Thanks for the advice, I always get worried in situations like that because I would never want to leave my home out there in the woods of it got stuck. Honestly I get worried when I walk into Walmart that I’ll get robbed while I’m inside for an hour. It’s nerve racking to know how easy it is to lose everything. I was thinking about going back towards Flagstaff today actually and camp in the snow again but maybe ur comment is a sign not to go!! Thanks so much for watching 🤙

[@truckcampinglife]

@@worklessenjoylifemore Same here. I always sit in my truck while my wife does the shopping. It's a crazy world we live in now. Happy trails my friend.

[@aliceevans3357]

Oh gosh Truck C, I'm sorry. What a way to ruin a great adventure. I've often thought about suggesting a winch to Larry on the front or back to help in a situation like this. It gets scary when you're out there alone, maybe spotty cell service. But I wouldn't know much either. Hope you got it fixed- transmissions are expensive.. take care

[@chanellepye5687]

I love how good you are too your babies ♥️

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Aww thanks, sorry for the slow reply but I didnt want to deal with these sad comments for a while. Thank you for watching

[@markthomas2436]

Seventy degrees, all night long, used a gallon of gas.... I call that a WIN.

[@michaeltaylor4984]

Potty breaks are the second most important part of the day, next to feeding times.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

So true lol 😂

[@mandib757]

You got out In the snow Larry! Cute dogs.. Beautiful area!

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Hahaha I almost brought a sled but didn’t have room 😂 Thanks for watching Mandi

[@user-kv9jw3ph2s]

Can only say snow is pretty. But it's prettier inside the house in front of a roaring fire. Not turned on by Winter camping.

[@airlandsea]

Bet you're glad you didn't have the tow behind camper :) I'm not sure I plan on camping in the snow, but after watching this vid I will be sure to bring a snow shovel. Thanks for sharing.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Hey 👋 yeah definitely bring a snow shovel and waterproof boots haha. Even though it was sort of a pain to find a spot it was very peaceful and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for watching and I’m looking forward to an update video on ur camper!

[@devorah935]

The spot you picked was very pretty

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Yeah thats for sure!! I love the snow especially while camping out in the forest!! Thank you for watching 😃

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

Another fantabulous video Larry. Glad you didn’t have work trailer in tow, backing up woulda been a real bugger for ya. That spot looked so peaceful and relaxing and beautiful with all the snow, thanks for sharing with us. As always, stay safe out there…..

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Hey Mike!!! Ohhhh tell me about it…….I probably would have just stayed blocking the road for a few days to let it thaw hahaha 🤣 Thank you so much for the compliments, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@durango8882]

Never realized Arizona got that much snow. I live in southern Indiana. We got 1.5 inches all winter.

Hey Rowan, I usually try to avoid it too haha but it ended up being really relaxing. Hey btw ur channel is really growing fast!! Ur going to be the next Dustin Porter!! 🤙

[@RowansAdventures]

@@worklessenjoylifemore Thanks! I really enjoy doing the videos. It is fun to go out and try new things and visit new places. So much better than video games.

[@Austin-316]

Your dogs are too cute. I have a papillion pomeranian mix, no way would he let me bring him out there to camp. You have them trained well

[@richl6952]

Yr dogs are so cool

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Thanks!! They are definitely my little buddies and I possibly spoil them a little too much haha 😂

That’s probably not a bad idea!! Thanks for the suggestion 😀👍

[@user-sn9nf7gi2s]

I am new to your channel And I am a little worried about Mason. It seems he sleeps all the time. It doesn't seem normal to me. Just wanted to point it out. Keep camping and enjoying your life!

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Well, I started out with a Chihuahua that was very old and then I ended up getting Frasier and Mason when she was older and they were puppies. She basically taught them to do nothing but sleep all the time. He does get up and play in spurts and I love watching him get excited and run play but yes, he does sleep a lot. According to the veterinarian, he is healthy as can be! Thank you so much for your concerns. Thank you so much for watching. 🙏

[@elliothagen9874]

I would've stayed in the parking lot. Or I would've found a fuel stop. Or other safe heaven

[@bobbyjames7139]

He will let you know it aless my cat did and will hurt I still to his grave and talk to him but have a bigger cat now and his mom when he passes he will be wating for you at the gate God will take care of him

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Aww thanks for that!! 🙏😊

[@bobbyjames7139]

Sorry for the mess up on my response my phone wrighs what it wonts not what you wright rip rio

[@goober9983]

Short video here Larry, you must not be a fan of winter camping. How is the diesel heater working these days.

[@romancastro3253]

Too old for the turned around cap don't you think? Like the video though and the location.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Well I guess that depends on who you ask 🤷 a lot of the time I have to turn it around so my face isn’t shaded for filming and some times I just want to have it turned around lol. Im lacking in hair under there so I wear hats everyday and sometimes I get tired or having the bill over my face 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting and im glad you enjoyed it 🤙

[@romancastro3253]

Good one! Keep up the good work, your outing is the only enjoyment I have to getting out. @@worklessenjoylifemore

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

@@romancastro3253 I’m glad you enjoy the videos! I’m trying to post every Tuesday now so hopefully I can bring more outing to ya. Thank you 🙏

[@apryl6788]

😊

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Thanks!! It was a very enjoyable night out there in the the snow. I wished I had brought boots because my feet were frozen but other than that it was great!! haha I wanna say it was like mid 20's for a low that night. I was so happy that the heater worked!!

[@apryl6788]

😮

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

@@apryl6788 I didn’t either!! That heater has been the most unreliable pile of garbage I have ever purchased from China 😆

[@melissaabeyta6823]

Do you have a link for the water pump you purchased and showed in this video I didn’t find it on your video description. Not sure if you have affiliate links or not. Just found your channel over the weekend. As I have been watching Kenny of all trades. 😊

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Thank you I actually forgot to add that link. Here is the link : amzn.to/40ahixW and if that doesn't work I'll put the link in the description of my last video. I really appreciate the support both from watching and ordering from the affiliate links!! Thank you very much!!

[@melissaabeyta6823]

@@worklessenjoylifemore thank you! I’m sorry about your pup. I’m just watching some older videos trying to catch up to current videos! Keep on doing what you’re doing. I enjoy this type of video channel! Very authentic!

[@melissaabeyta6823]

Oh this item is listed, I wondered about the electric pump you added to your water jug for drinking water 😉😊😊

[@jilleades24]

Rice cooker insta pot ?

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

I actually have a rice cooker Insta pot, but I no longer am able to eat carbs in my diet so I can’t even use it ha ha ha ha

[@richl6952]

What is weight of yr camper and did you have to do any mods to yr dually to suspension

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Hey Rich thanks for watching! As for the weight of the camper, the owners manual says 1650lbs with water and propane tanks filled. Of course all my gear adds to that weight but I have never weighed it at the truck scales. My truck has always handled it very well and it’s totally bone stock.

[@susanspring6313]

Dont your truck got 4 wheel drive you should be OK

[@RamblinRoadies]

Hey Larry, do you still have the 5th wheel?

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Yeah I still have it, I just don’t normally take it too far because it’s harder to find boondocking spots. Plus nobody likes seeing me camping in that so I don’t normally video tape those trips haha. Although I do have a big trip planned in the spring to take it up to Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah so I’ll be videoing taping a lot of that trip. Thanks for watching Frank 🤙

[@RamblinRoadies]

@@worklessenjoylifemore that sounds like a fun trip. I'll be looking for it.
