Solo Winter Snow Storm Camping in a ROOF TOP TENT

[@OXFOOT]

Hey Y'all leave a comment for a chance to win a patch/sticker combo. Going to try to up the ante on my next video once I get my merch store reconfigured. LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE VIDEO WITH ANY QUESTIONS, I"LL ANSWER THEM ALL.

[@timdavenport2943]

I enjoy watching snow camping videos. Keep the content coming.

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them. I’m sure other creators like making them like me. Love the genre

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Sean and I are trying to do some winter camping in January at his secret spot lol. I’ll let you know. Great vid as usual!

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah for sure. I’ll probably be doing a ton this winter. Let me know

[@kevinleon9126]

These videos inspire all of us to get outside and slow down and just chill no matter rig or set up you have, thank you 🙏

[@OXFOOT]

That’s the goal. I swear I sleep so good at the end of a day in the cold working hard but not worrying about the rest of the world and what’s happening.

[@momentum.zach.]

Love these videos and makes me sad living in Florida LOL. Would love to see more of the driving as well. Great videos as always sir!

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah I’m playing around with what I want to do with the videos. The possibility of more driving and talking about where I’m going in the beginning or something. And I grew up going to florida a ton, the beaches are nice so you can always just fly to the snow when you want to see it.

[@JDS-Dalton]

Winter snow camping just looks so peaceful, looking forward to when it snows in the mountains of NC so I can do it myself! Also, was just watching another 4runner overlanding youtuber who camped out in a winter storm in a similar looking area, talking about passing another person in a campsite while he was driving down the trail at night, wonder if that was the same guy who passed by your site haha

[@OXFOOT]

That would be really funny. What was the youtuber? A Jeep passed me that night for sure but I’m not sure if anyone else did.

[@chriskenmotsu9]

@Oxfoot, Jason winter snow camping is awesome, keep doing what your doing brah, see you on the next adventure brahda, stay safe and safe travels 🤙👍👊✌

[@OXFOOT]

Hey man glad you got a chance to check it out. Thanks for the comment as always, super helpful. And safe travels to you as well bro.

[@TriStateOverland]

I’m definitely going to get out there to snow camp with you maybe next year!! Coming from Ohio!

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah come on out. If it’s next year at least you get out here.

[@DrDenticle]

Love the content as usual, Jason!

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks! Greatly appreciated!

[@hurcules1237]

Thank you for making these videos! It’s hard for me to go camping like this with my small car, but one day I’ll be out there 👍

[@OXFOOT]

There’s probably places you could still go with a small car but this place might be a bit tough. But thanks for the feedback!

[@Ninjalisha]

Nothing like the sound of crunchy snow!

[@OXFOOT]

Crunchy snow is the best!

[@ronald8874]

I'm ready for some winter camping,love the snow when it sticks to the trees . Just hard for me to take my truck out, we use salt on our roads and I got a lot invested in my truck. Anyways love the videos

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah I always immediately wash mine on the way home because of the mag chloride we put out on the roads. I do that every time it snows because I lost a UCA to that stuff a few years ago.

[@wutyouphaka]

Love the videos you always put out. The gear you run with as well are great for what you do.

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@juliewilliams9101]

Great video! I'm sharing with my friends!!

[@OXFOOT]

That’s like the most helpful thing you can possibly do so I really greatly appreciate it!

[@CaseyHuebner]

I really like the look of this new tent. Looks safer to get in and out of in the snow as well

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah I feel a lot more secure in it. Also creates a nice overhang to protect the heater, and to hang out under.

[@lboverland4973]

Great job! Well done!

[@OXFOOT]

Yo thanks! Much appreciation 🙏🏻

[@lakers1436]

So much work put on this video

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah there was quite a bit

[@Tactical_Pterodactyl_Knives]

I enjoy watching these so I don't have to be in the cold to enjoy it.

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah it’s kinda tough when you’re doing it but imagine how good it feels when you finally get in the warm tent and get to bed. It’s the best.

[@Tactical_Pterodactyl_Knives]

@OXFOOT oh I can totally imagine! And how peaceful it must be out there when all you can hear is the snow falling. Where I live we get snow maybe once every 5-6 years.

[@TheNorthernExplorer]

Love winter camping! I really wanna go out in the snow now! Great vid 👍

[@OXFOOT]

It’s really great. So much easier to sleep when you wear yourself out in the cold chopping wood and doing all the other stuff.

[@gary_babich]

Hard to beat a day of camping no matter the conditions!

[@OXFOOT]

Absolutely!

[@stevend9124]

Cool video it's awesome you have this land to be able to camp out in. Me I'm surrounded by 2 cemeteries and corn fields and nothing but private property. But whatever some day I'll enjoy something like you guys 👍👍👍👍

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah I’m well aware of how lucky I am to have this around me. Didn’t have it as much in NC.

[@АлексейПлатонов-ф8л]

Класс!!! Как будто сам отдохнул, спасибо!

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks!

[@allenhoyt8016]

They are talking anywhere from a few inches to over a foot here starting later today. Might be a little to extreme for me but I’m looking forward to some winter camping!

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah they were calling for a ton here too but I hadn’t looked at the weather recently to be honest. Think I’m going to skip camping in this snow storm though.

[@josephyoung3355]

I enjoy the videos. You need to get the heater back it's cold outside..

[@OXFOOT]

I’m on the fence about the diesel heater or building a propex heater. It’s a ton more expensive but it uses way less fuel and electricity. I just hate getting diesel when I already have tons of propane.

[@andrewmunoz9642]

I’m just jealous that his hatch stays up in the freezing temps. Mine is a death trap at 50 degrees or lower.

[@OXFOOT]

Well that’s the upside to my ladder pinching itself against the body of the car causing it to be hard to open but also staying open by sheer force.

[@OXFOOT]

Aka the ladder is too long and pins itself against the body and it stays open easier.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Thanks for the video 👍

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks for watching!

[@debbilermond1553]

Grass-Fed Ribeye steaks are the BEST! That looks so tasty and I believe I can smell it cooking. 😉! I hope you stayed warm enough in the extremely cold temps? I can't wait to get out with my 4Runner in the Cascades. We have 3' of snow at home so it will be a challenge to go any higher up in the mountains, LOL.

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah I typically can’t climb too high in the mtns in fall/winter. Like right now I’m usually not driving too far into the woods to get to a camp site, but I usually don’t have to because most people aren’t out camping so I can grab one of the close spots.

[@debbilermond1553]

@@OXFOOT That's awesome! Have you ever tried bar-b-qued ribeye for homemade chili? I usually add bison because it's always grass-fed (they can't eat grain). The absolute best chili fixins is from Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Chili Kit (most stores have it). You will think you died and went to Heaven, LOL! 😁

[@OXFOOT]

@@debbilermond1553 I thought about getting a cast iron Dutch oven to try to make some chili but I hadn’t gotten around to it. I’ll have to look into that that sounds good.

[@debbilermond1553]

@@OXFOOT True dutch ovens are great for camping when you can put the coals on top of the lid. We used one on a pack trip out of Teanaway (Cle Elum, WA) in the Cascades.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

What kind of oatmeal is that?

[@OXFOOT]

Kroger apple oatmeal I think. It was pretty good, not as good as bacon and eggs and all that but still pretty good.

[@cigarprepper7179]

What would be your 5 most items for winter carry or your screwed ?

[@OXFOOT]

I might make a video on this but I would say for sure: Base layers A good bag that is well below the temperature you’re going to be in. Radios for emergency Extra layers for emergency Hand warmers for emergency

[@OXFOOT]

I’d have to think about it to give a good list

[@elib7311]

I envy the silence. No sirens. No leaf blowers. No barking dogs. Thank you for sharing this silence by not playing music or doing long oratories. Just nice and peaceful.

[@overland_cam]

Why did you choose not to bring the diesel heater, just curious.

[@OXFOOT]

I had it leak on me in the car and I thought I didn’t want to use it anymore. I’m building out a propex heater now so I’ll be switching to that soon.

[@John-fy5io]

What boots are these?

[@OXFOOT]

These are them but they aren’t cheap. There’s cheaper ones you could get that would be just fine.

[@marlenesnyder2428]

Did you buy any chance see any deer, elk or anything else out there ,where are you camping at. Washington State

[@OXFOOT]

Not really any wildlife that time. I will occasionally see them out but more often when I’m near a river which this camp site isn’t that I know of.

[@행복이랑캠핑]

안녕하세요 눈이 정말 많이 내렸네요 영상 너무 멋있고, 좋아서 댓글 남기고 갑니다

[@OXFOOT]

Thank you! Glad you gave it a chance and liked it!

[@Cfin]

Hey just wondering, I’m coming from having a wrx to now a 4Runner. Does the 4Runner community wave or do anything to each other? I’ve seen a mix of some and nothing so far but wasn’t too sure

[@OXFOOT]

Maybe in other towns but I think because there are so many here I don’t see it that often. If I’m up in the mountains and not many are around and two built ones pass then sometimes you’ll get a wave. Not that common though.

[@DnDSeekingAdventure]

When are you coming to wheel on the east coast with us? 😅

[@OXFOOT]

I might be headed back there in the spring to hit the Appalachian mtns. I haven’t been thinking that far out yet but I’ll for sure keep the east coast in mind.

[@DnDSeekingAdventure]

@@OXFOOT keep in touch when you do. Maybe we could join you.

[@crispe824]

What’s your next update on your 4Runner? Great video man! They became my natural melatonin lol. I always watch it before going to bed lol

[@OXFOOT]

I’m literally waiting on a mount to put some lights and rewiring my current lights. Kinda sucks since all that is waiting on one little part. After that suspension not much after that for a while.

[@codybest4806]

Do you come in contact with bears ever? We are going camping there 6 days this June.

[@OXFOOT]

I haven’t seen any out there really but I have seen moose and I’m way more afraid of them than bears.

[@codybest4806]

@@OXFOOT oh yeah moose are vicious! Thanks for the heads up.

[@smileyguyz]

If you don't mind me asking, where is this at? I've been looking for places to go camp once I get my Honda Element converted, and that area looks pretty near perfect. I've been wanting to try Switzerland Trail but haven't had the chance yet.

[@OXFOOT]

It’s not far away from Switzerland trail. I can’t remember the name of the spot, but it’s not too far away from Switzerland trail. Wish I could remember the spot. Your element could do well on Switzerland trail though.

[@EB-oh3nv]

Great videos. Any recommendations for suspension?

[@OXFOOT]

I’m personally going with Locked offroad in a month or so. I like what they have but it really depends on your budget and what kind of offroading you are looking to be doing.

[@XPLRNW]

Looks delicious

[@OXFOOT]

It was a great trip

[@OXFOOT]

Loved the food

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@magicworldbyjorg]

@@OXFOOT Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….

[@1995Kakashi]

Which do you think is better for winter camping, diesel heater or negative sleeping bag? Been on the fence since having warm air seems like the more comfortable solution. Keep the videos up!!

[@OXFOOT]

If you live somewhere that it gets pretty cold I would 100% go negative sleeping bag over any sort of heating source if you can only choose one. A heater can break or fail but a sleeping bag only fails if you get it wet or something. If the heater fails and you don’t have a negative sleeping bag you really put yourself at risk. A heater is nice but I went years without a heater and was fine.

[@BigFishOverlanding]

Looks like tons of fun! How much snow/weight does Icamper say that tent can hold up?

[@OXFOOT]

I actually don’t know the weight capacity but the poles are super strong. I know my old tent had a lower rating but was wedge shaped. With all tents I typically try to wake up in the night to tap the roof and knock some off.

[@BigFishOverlanding]

@@OXFOOT I have definitely been watching videos of guys with clamshell RTTs collapsing under snow. I was pretty suprised how well yours did in this video.

[@OXFOOT]

@@BigFishOverlanding With clamshell tents? Thats wild. I guess I could see that but thats still a bit scary. Like I said especially if I'm running the heat im fine, rolls right off.

[@OXFOOT]

@@BigFishOverlanding Do you have a link to people talking about that? I'm doing a video about the ikamper and I'd love to cover that if its a widespread issue with other tents.

[@BigFishOverlanding]

@@OXFOOT I'll go back and find the post, and send it to you, it waa some guys in the PNW.

[@PNCN-ri9rj]

this is beautiful im just curious where is this?

[@OXFOOT]

Front range of Colorado Rockies. Up past Boulder.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Bro. 41k views in a month. I want to be you when I grow up, 😂. Nice work homie.

[@fairlizz]

This is AWESOME! But could you please tell where are you camping at?

[@OXFOOT]

This is in the front range of the Colorado Rockies, up north towards ft Collins

[@j4jerrygaming558]

How far your home from your camp,how far you go to camp is it safe no animal¿

[@OXFOOT]

I’ll camp where ever pretty much year round but when it’s heavier snow I’ll try to stay about an hour away in case something goes wrong. Animals aren’t as prevalent in the winter but when I see them I usually don’t have enough time to capture on film. I do have a glock 20 for protection though.

[@cigarprepper7179]

Hear there are some big storms coming in that area

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah I hear we are supposed to get a lot of snow on Monday and Tuesday. Pretty pumped.

Я так и не понял о чем видео... Как приехать в лес и всё время готовить себе еду? Или жена из дома выгнала) Только ради еды что ли у вас там в Америке в лес ездят?

[@OXFOOT]

What else would you like me to do at camp to make you happy? I built a fire, hung out in nature and cooked then read a book. What else would you require me to do for it to be a camping video?

[@Znamenskov]

@@OXFOOT да всё нормально, дружище). Просто все, что ты делаешь, сильно отличается от того, что обычно происходит когда мужчина приезжает в лес в России. Это даже забавно смотреть) У нас один мужчина приезжает в лес, если у него есть цель: это охота, рыбалка, либо преодоление сложного участка рельефа и посещение труднодоступного красивого места. Но никак не для того, чтобы просто приготовить себе еду. Вообще, на приготовление пищи в лесу у нас тратится очень мало времени. Обычно это какое-нибудь очень простое блюдо.
