Truck Tent Camping In Rain

[@relixmeme]

hey to you reading this 😊 whatever brings you here, whether it's to fall asleep or to relax from something stressful, i just wanted to let you know that everything will be fine. If you're going through a hard time right now, it's okay to remind yourself that this is temporary, and there are many good and relaxing days to come. You are an amazing person and the world is lucky to have someone like you in it. I hope only good things, love and strength will come your way. :)

This was amazing to watch thank you for sharing. It will be my first time camping in the truck bed and I'm very excited even after watching this video your persistence and patience really inspired me. Keep up the good work! And your dog was adorable!!!

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you so very much! I truly appreciate you watching and reaching out! Truck bed camping is so much fun, even if the weather doesn’t want to play nice! Please let me know how you like it!

[@paulthomas2337]

Screw the tent flies which sometimes are dry but not always. I always carry a 11 by 14 tarp to cover the entire tent and the fly too. I do not appreciate getting soaked cold before going to bed!~ This was a very fun video and thank you for taking the time to share it with all of us. But now that your in your tent - what you got to eat - I am hungry!

[@oldsouthernpine]

The tarp is a great call! Thank you so much for watching and reaching out! The good news was that it was pushing 90°F that day so getting a little cooled off before bed wasn’t too bad. I did however have all the beef jerky and almonds that I cared to make a meal of for a good while. Lol.

[@HillbillyMusings]

If you ever want it to rain just ask me to set up a tent or take one down. Good video sir, you showed more patience than I could have!

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you, I sure appreciate it! Thank you for watching!

[@WanderingWithWanda]

watching that rain made me really appreciate my minivan camper. I gotta get those suction cup things!

[@oldsouthernpine]

Your minivan camper is very cool! Thank you for watching! I’ll post the link down below for my Danchel Outdoor truck awning. It’s amazing!

Thank you, very kind!

[@oldsouthernpine]

You’re very welcome!

[@markjeep9415]

Well you have the same luck as I have with the weather. I set up my caravan after a 2 hour drive in sunshine during a heat wave. Got pitched up and started putting the awning up as it started to rain. It never stopped raining for the whole week

[@oldsouthernpine]

Yep, seems that’s how it goes every time! Haha. Really appreciate you watching!

[@mokihaname]

I am so glad my mother took us camping when I was young and her rule was the first thing you do is clear the way then set up the tent. If you wondering what I mean by clear the way, pick a spot you clean it up, and make sure there's no debre no rocks then you put up the tent. Only after you put up the tent completely and make sure it's standing strong that's when you unload and put up the tarps or canapy. After all that we had our chores someone will help set things up and someone will help get food together for dinner. When everything is set up dinner cooking my mother would take over cooking and us kids would play until time to eat 😊

[@oldsouthernpine]

Sounds like some great memories and your mama sure did it right! Thank you for sharing!

[@mokihaname]

@@oldsouthernpine thank you, my mother is no longer with us I lost her in 2018. Every now and then I get flash backs of memories that make me smile. She would've gotten a kick watching you, she was a southern bell. She was from Bristol, Virginia, Tennessee if anybody knows about that town they'll know half of its in Virginia the other half is in Tennessee. Thank you for your video it made me smile.

[@ronlackey2689]

That's probably why you grew up strong, confident and have character. Just an assumption on my part but there's good evidence. Momma's and Daddy's have their ways of instilling values even in small things such as prepping a new camp and doing chores.

[@oldsouthernpine]

❤️ mama’s are pretty amazing!

[@RossPotts]

Mmm, boy! Setting up in the rain. SO much fun! Not. I have the Napier Backroads camo tent. I learned the hard way, in Acadia NP, to have all tent windows closed and just leave the door open with the net zipped up, to minimize incoming water when setting up in the rain. It still prevents a vacuum when you pop up the tent. And actually, you can keep everything closed at first UNTIL you are ready to pop it up. That’s when you would open the door a few inches. Those tailgate straps are actually pretty important with retaining the shape. Lastly, after practicing a bit and watching a couple videos, the black fiberglass pole at the tailgate should go on the outside of the cable, trapping the cable between the pole and the tent.

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thanks for watching, that’s great advice!

[@Danny-ge2my]

I've got to use mine once we got it set up, I think it took 30 minutes once we got all the colors figured out, I think the kids spent one night, Then here Comes the snow and the 50 mile an hour winds. I keep thinking O man this Thing going to get ripped to shreds????. It Never Moved.

[@oldsouthernpine]

They are great tents for sure! You’re right, as soon as you get them figured out, they are a tank of a tent!

[@jennyleef1775]

It wouldn't be camping if everything went to plan. Having two ropes on each pole of the awning (at a 45 degree angle) would generally prevent them from falling over in strong winds and rain, although not always. It's the first time I have come across your videos. I am glad you didn't give up when the rain hit and the tent was wet inside... been there, done that. 😊

[@oldsouthernpine]

Welcome to the channel! You’re absolutely right, it wouldn’t be as much fun if everything always went to plan! I’ll give the two ropes a try, thanks for the tip! Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it.

[@CampfiresandColdBeers]

I was relieved to see a full size rain fly, unlike the last video 😂

[@oldsouthernpine]

Hahahahahaha yeah that little handkerchief sized one wouldn’t have done much in this storm! 🤣😂🤣

[@ericbarkley6644]

One of the best sleeps I ever had was a thunder storm in a truck tent

[@oldsouthernpine]

Yes sir!!!! I completely agree. Once I got dry, this was an awesome evening and an amazing night of sleep! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@jenna6256]

Nothing beats sleeping in the rain or on the ocean ! haha. I think a cap for the truck would suit me better than a tent. Cute fur baby !!

[@oldsouthernpine]

Agreed! Rain and ocean = amazing sleep!!! Fiona and I both thank you for watching and the kind words!

[@rt3156]

Thank you! and God Bless. 😊

[@oldsouthernpine]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching and GOD bless you too!

[@SQWIB]

Fantastic Camp, At 60 I converted my 96 suburban, I tend to get out a lot more now with the conversion. I'm Currently editing a couple videos of the SUV Camps. Thanks for sharing.

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see the videos! I’ve always wanted to do a Chevy suburban camp!

[@mattmartinolc]

It's better for the green pole that holds up the entrance to go over your tailgate cable with the receiver for it going underneath

[@oldsouthernpine]

That’s sound advice, thank you!

[@deweyhall712]

Looks like the pooch enjoyed the camping trip with pops..

[@oldsouthernpine]

Haha definitely! She’s my little adventure buddy and usually has even more fun than I do, which is hard to beat lol! Thank you for watching, I truly appreciate it!

[@rondaashby2558]

Please make more videos of camping with your truck tent. I find it fascinating. I am about to take my first trip out with my truck tent and I’m sure it will rain as it always does. I have been wondering about the swimming pool effect. It looks like the next morning was a blessing and things got somewhat dried out. Enjoyed the video.

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and the kind words! I absolutely love truck tent camping. It gives a very different perspective and allows you to camp in areas that wouldn’t be as doable with a tent on the ground. I hope you have a great time on your camping trip!

[@bajawrxrs]

You're a better man than I am. This was both informative and entertaining, thank you

[@oldsouthernpine]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It was a great trip, after I got into some drier clothes! Thank you so much for watching and reaching out!

[@mrmrlee]

Very nice video, only thing that concerns me is the design of that awning system, wind and water can exert a tremendous strain on anchor points, and I would never use a glass window or windshield as an anchor point. I'm sure there's some sort of clip that can be attached to the tops of the doors as an alternative.

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you so much! That’s a great suggestion! I sure appreciate you watching and reaching out!

[@lowellnelson4398]

I purchase a pickup camper called the razor it's not a cabover, just a box but it's has a bed, a 2 ft refrigerator, two-burner stove, microwave, small AC if you had a generator who can run all that. But then you would be nice and dry. And I bought this for only seven thousand used. I sure would be better then the tent.

[@oldsouthernpine]

That sounds like a really great truck camper! I appreciate you watching and sharing that with me! Have fun out there!

[@hueypilot1950]

You are a good sport, and a little dog lover too. Thanks for sharing. I wanted one of these when I had a Ford Ranger, ranger size was out of stock at the time I needed it so I camped in a 4x4x8 Uhaul trailer.

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and the kind words. Hahaha Fiona is definitely “travel sized”! I bet that Uhaul trip was a fun one! Always been curious about doing that.

[@camslumlord]

Hate to bother you with another question; where did you get the tarp with the suction cups to put on your truck to tie your tarp to? I have never seen that before. Brilliant! Really learned a lot from this video.

[@oldsouthernpine]

You’re never a bother! I absolutely love getting comments and questions! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! That is the Danchel Outdoor truck awning and the suction cups come with it. I’ll drop a link below for the kit. Thank you again!

Weren't the green poles supposed to be your crosses, and the black poles ??? The one in the middle, and the other on the door opening ???????.

[@oldsouthernpine]

Thank you for watching! For my version, the black poles are your cross poles, the tan one is the spine and the green one is the door arch. I got the green one mixed up at first and swapped it out as soon as I realized it was too long. Just didn’t film it.

7:33 I don’t know what it is, but I hear people like watching other people survive a good rain video and setting up or doing anything in the rain should get you some pretty good views on this video why is it that other people like seeing people being soaked in the rain or storms that’s what it seems like

[@oldsouthernpine]

I never grew out of enjoying playing in the rain so it was fun for me to make the video. I hope others enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed camping in it!

[@serialseatsniffer5610]

I'm curious what caused all that water Intrusion? was it just no rainfly or did you not have the tent set up properly. I saw an angle where the driver's side of the tent Didn't even go over the edge of the bed

[@oldsouthernpine]

It was purely from the rain getting in before I put the rain fly on. Once I got the fly on and the inside mopped out, no more water got in. Thanks for watching and reaching out!

[@serialseatsniffer5610]

@oldsouthernpine right on! I've purchased one, brand new in the box. I didn't realize it came with a "floor ". Figured the tent shell would cover the bed 110%. 🤷 Thanks for the video and the reply. Always cool when folks actually communicate to their audience.

[@oldsouthernpine]

My pleasure! Talking with y’all is one of my favorite parts of this! It’s a great tent, I’m sure you’ll have lots of grand adventures with it!

[@jerrymcmahan2855]

Is that air mattress pretty comfortable and what was it that you used to inflate it Thanks

[@oldsouthernpine]

So that air mattress was very comfortable while it lasted. It sprang a leak that I could never find and the company refused to even respond to me, so I can’t recommend the air mattress. The little pump is from a company called Aerogogo and i absolutely love that thing! I’ve used that mini air pump in all kinds of weather and conditions and it’s never let me down! Hope that helps!

I went camping one year in the Mt. Hood National forest. I just had an old mil surplus tent, an air mattress and a mil surplus sleeping bag.
