❄️SNOW STORM - FORCED to camp on a MOUNTAIN PASS \\ Winter in Wyoming Pt. 1 \\ Vlog 22

[@kennethjinkins8967]

any problems with condensation in the cold weather , an old pair of gardening gloves is great for refueling

[@Stonyboot]

Yes. It gets damp in the corners and under the bed. We’ve been in Washington for a few weeks, it’s been in the 30s-40s at night and 40s-50s in the day. With nearly constant rain, it’s been a challenge to keep things dry.

[@philc.9280]

I found it painstakingly difficult to watch you take off the mud with your fingers and a water cup. Doesn't your rig have an outdoor spigot for showering outdoors? Or just take it to the nearest pressure car wash and do it properly.

[@Stonyboot]

Has an outdoor shower on the other side. And the only spray booth in town wasn’t tall enough. Sometimes you gotta improvise.

You should drain all the water from your hose before packing it away. If it freezes, the water will turn to ice, expand and crack your hose.

This was the only thing I could think of after seeing the hose full of water lol

We have alot and we sold bout ten grand b4 we bought the rig but I think my girl want to sell this while we can still get a hun grand back and get something decent for 20 30 grand maybe a pull behind so we have some extra money to start a buisness or buy land. I wish we could just work from our rig or where we stop.

There are so many options, its hard to chose what to do. We often think about selling, getting a piece of land, and then buying a rig when the prices drop. BUT, right now, real estate prices are insane. We are just trying to make our way each day. Prices are killing us too and it has made us stay still MUCH more often.

[@DenaInWyo]

Thanks for the video, was fun seeing you guys drive through my home state. Just remember, Jackson isn't really WY ;) It's more like a little annex of California in the middle of our state. Our winters can be brutal for sure, but we actually get less snow than you'd think. We tend to have 3-4 major storms over winter, essentially getting it all in one lump sum. The worst of it is the WIND. It's nothing to see 50-70 mph winds for days at a time. Gets really aggravating and can making driving really difficult. Semi trucks get blown over all the time.

[@Stonyboot]

Yeah, the wind can be a real problem, especially in the mountains! We loved your area, there's so much to see and do there.

[@nathanurick8320]

Man I love these snow videos. The landscape is just so different.

[@Stonyboot]

You hit the nail on the head, Wyoming is bad ass! We drove in 55-60 mph winds in Utah when we got blind sided by a wind storm. Took about 25 minutes to find shelter, that was rather scary. The wind was 90 degrees to our camper and it felt a little tippy. The next morning we were greeted with tornado warnings and had to outrun a thunderstorm. Crazy weather in the west!

[@johnreyn19]

If you coil your hose with the "over under" technique it is much easier to manage. You just throw one end when you are ready to use it.

[@Stonyboot]

Thats how I do my cords, but never thought to change the coil pattern with the hose. I'll give it a try when it gets warmer. This hose was very stiff and likes to stay in it's originally packaged coil. It's a stiff hose even when its warm out, but if change the coil, put some velcro straps on it and lay it in the sun, it might stay that way. Thanks for the tip! This hose is a nightmare to deal with if the temps are below 50f.

Hello , nice couple and no pets that’s better to get around , pets should be grounded in one place not live like nomads , speaking of Nomads , all that mud and grime you managed to clean off the wheels , did you sweep up the mess in the parking lot ? I guess you did because you don’t look like slobs and seem to be very respectful people , when I park , I have a habit of making the place where I stayed for the time I was there look like there was no trace of human activity this way the next person would have no issues sharing that same spot . I like camping but camping for me is being able to survive with less than I-need and use in a domestic situation, going without a shower , going without cable internet, going without three coarse meals and a lot of other amenities makes me thankful and stronger , but there are times on camping trips I love to do the exact opposite and go to town spoiling myself , like hit a casino , go for a hot jacuzzi and eat a buffet hot meal , but one thing I couldn’t go with out is my coffee with milk only lol ha ha ha thank you all the best have an awesome day 😊

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks, and yes, I put it in the trash can that was about 30 feet away. Since we do this full time, we don’t consider it camping. We just live in a small mobile house.

Great video. One idea: Get one of those 1/2 gal pump sprayers from nearly most box stores to use for many purposes. ($6-12) We use outside hand wash, clean muddy tires, fire pit extinguisher, even wash back steps/door. Has an adjustable spray tip to direct fog or straight stream as desired. Bonus idea: Bought propane sensor at Ace to watch out level. (Mopeka $35) monitoring by Bluetooth. Went to bed at 11% with lows at 35° and now at 1% on day 3. Ready to switch tanks soon as it empties or at bedtime. Safe journey!

[@Stonyboot]

I'm going to check out that propane sensor. Thanks for the tip! And we do have a spray bottle, but it was buried in the back of the truck. We really try to avoid deep mud, so this was a rare occation.

The fuel level 'gauge' that attached online with tank hose has been useless. Returning to store. Sensor from Mopeka works much more accurately.

Love your video! We love camping in the winter. We use the Little Buddy heater to get the temperature up so that we do not use as much propane on our Aldi. It only takes about ten minutes to warm our Cirrus up. It worked for us at minus eleven in Yellowstone and it’s safe for indoor use with the kitchen window cracked open. Once everything is up to temperature we shut it off. Safe travels and hope you can make it to the Truck Camper Rally.

Our Alde holds temperatures very well, once its warmed up. We use a hair dryer for that initial warm up, works well and has no fumes to worry about. Sasha likes to also warm her feet up with it...

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for watching, I’ll get part 3 done as soon as possible. We’ve had some busy weeks lately.

[@Gtronix-u6u]

you guys need to get a cell signal booster

[@Stonyboot]

We have a WeBoost. We use it pretty much 24/7!!

[@richardarnold8537]

I currently have a 40' Keystone Cougar 367 FLS, I am renting it out on RV Share and just started renting it out on Outdoorsy today. I am hoping when I get tired of it, to trade to a truck camper. What were those apps you were using when you got to 8,800 feet elevation and any other apps. Do you use a Samsung phone or Apple I-phone??? Thank you Richard Arnold, Pensacola, Florida.

Why can't u get water at any gas station?

[@Stonyboot]

Because some gas stations don’t have the water available 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@michaelhorn4540]

You're a lucky man, she's a babe

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks! I’d have to agree with you!

[@MrStropparo]

You should look into a diesel heater.

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks, but we prefer driving south instead!

[@cyclops9125]

Why do u park the tires on those pads?

[@Stonyboot]

It’s just for leveling the camper. That parking lot was a little more sloped than we were comfortable. They are called Lynx Levelers.

[@larryferd1510]

What are the orange blocks for ? Why park on top of them ? What’s the point ?

[@Stonyboot]

They’re leveling blocks. The point is to level the camper.

[@larryferd1510]

@@Stonyboot ahhh thanks color me stupid 😊

[@Stonyboot]

No worries!

[@Wally1892]

Ever considered an Espar heater?

[@Stonyboot]

Yes, if we did a custom build, I’d go diesel. But no sense in tearing this all out for the occasional cold weather camping. We also love the fact that we can run heat and hot water off electric when we have it.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

You do not have glow plugs. You have a grid intake heater which is great because Ford and GM have 8 glow plugs which sucks. The grid heater is easy to replace and in supper cold days and truck hasn’t been run for a few days you can cycle you grid heater a couple times if need and they work great and i have had to Dodges and kept the 92 had for 14 years and 185 grand in mileage and have never had to replace one I have a 05 and it has never replace it .

Hi from sunny Tucson, AZ! I cringe seeing your poor RAM in the salt and sand! 😪 Hope to a make it there someday during the summer or fall. I'm working camping for the Coronado National Forest ~ Sabino Canyon Recreational Area ~ Tucson, AZ for the winter! I call home a RAM 3500 with a Bigfoot truck camper. Thank you for your videos and safe travels in the snowy tundra!

[@Stonyboot]

I hate the salt too, but we have encountered enough rain to have washed most of it off now. We passed through Coronado NF about a year ago. That must be an incredible place to work! Which model Bigfoot do you have? They're great campers!

[@nathanielplenge]

@@Stonyboot I own a 2500 C10.4 with the mid-dry bath. It didn't come with any solar or a generator, but maybe add them later. Volunteering 3 days a week through the winter allows for full hookups and laundry. Then, I DoorDash in Tucson for a little spending money. So far it's working out okay.

[@patscherf3646]

I like your truck and camper set up, your video is great and informative, do you run 20.lb propane or do you have 30lb ? How is your gas mileage on a diesel when traveling.?

[@junochlim]

cant reill water at petrol station ?

[@Stonyboot]

Unfortunately not all of the gas stations have water spigots for us to use.

[@NathanaelGreer]

I didn’t know that they don’t plow in Wyoming. I live in Oregon and no matter what our passes are plowed every 4 hours minimum. Guess highway travel isn’t important down there

[@andylowe2725]

This is why I'm going to buy a nice condo in Florida, on.the beach.

[@Stonyboot]

Haha! Florida is beautiful in the winter!☀️🏝

[@johnnybravoBoyah]

And deal with salt spray and hurricanes and a billion insects and 90s may till Nov but okay 😄

[@toddramsay977]

We stayed in Jackson, WY and saw both Yellowstone and the Tetons the first week of June. It snowed 6" in Yellowstone and they closed the park until 1pm. Tge Tetons opened about 11am. Enjoying the video!

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks! Aren’t those park absolutely amazing?We can’t wait to go back there in the spring/summer and explore more. And the weather there is so unpredictable! We got lucky that we didn’t encounter any major closures.

[@danielc.2042]

I was there that week. Tried to get in the east entrance my first morning and it was closed until they could plow Sylvan Pass.

[@renaissancepoet]

I really liked this video. It had a little bit of everything in it. Especially the traveling. I love road trips, and Nomads get to experience the ultimate road trip lifestyle.

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for watching! This was a special trip for us, most of our time on the road isn't quite as exciting. I still look forward to driving every time we move!

[@plk7592]

This is my second video I've watched, and my only question is why do you want to camp in the winter? Snow storms and freezing cold weather is not having a good time for me. Why not go camping south, in warmer climate? All the southern states offer nice facilities for camping and fishing. Maybe you have made some videos doing just that, I don' know. As I said, this is the second video of you two camping, that I have found on KZbin.

[@Stonyboot]

We travel full time, we don’t really camp. For us, there is a big distinction between the two. This video was recorded as we moved from Michigan in the summer, then west towards the pacific coast. We didn’t expect to get caught in the storms, but that’s how it goes in the mountains. We are in Texas right now and it was 104f today. That’s pretty warm.

[@fjb4932]

In the use of tiedowns / bungee cords, i go by the mantra " One is none, two are one, and three are two." I use one to tie down the load, the second to lightly back it up, and the third to back up the back up ...

[@ctbt1832]

It’s like nothing is out there

[@Stonyboot]

We love the fact that Washington State has so much wilderness!🌲

[@bobbleheadwil5400]

Love the longer videos, you kids be safe.

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks! We’re glad you like them!

[@ranig2848]

Great video! You should get a directional antenna for the cell reception. It's more work to set up but it works MUCH MUCH better since it can amplify much more (both receive and transmit) and it less impacted by noise (if any). Can't wait for StarLink to get approved for mobile use (stuck with FCC...)

[@Stonyboot]

I have one in my shopping cart, but just never pulled the trigger. Sometimes the Omni antenna is nice because its quick and simple. A directional takes a little more time to setup. I'd love to have a switch, so I can flip between them when needed. I don't want to leave the connectors open and I haven't figured out how to solve that. Do they make a coax switch, I guess I should google it 😂

[@ranig2848]

@@Stonyboot I’d just get the directional one, mount it next to Omni one and when you get to a spot where cell doesn’t work or you get 20mbps, like even >50mbps even in tough spots.

[@someoneelse7629]

@@Stonyboot Yeah they make switches, but just pull 2 cables inside and switch manually, there is always losses in switches, but I would just go with the directional, it't not rocketscience to turn it roughly to the direction that gives better reception then the omnidirectional

Loving the vibs, great pointers for when the wife and I start this adventure.

Thank you so much!
