Why Camping in RAIN and FOG is the Best // Finding Solitude and Relaxation whileTruck Bed Camping

For todays adventure I'm truck bed camping in the beautiful Texas hill country using the Napier backroads truck tent.
I'm camping one of the busiest, most popular state parks in Texas. However, I'm camping midweek during the winter and there's plenty of rain and fog in the forecast. Camping under these bad weather conditions typically means less campers will be at the park and I can enjoy isolation and solitude at the campsite. That was definitely the case in today's adventure, as it seemed I had the entire park all to myself.
Although the camp setup was a bit soggy and gloomy, once I had my shelter up, I was able to enjoy the relaxing sounds of raindrops on my canopy and I had the best sleep ever while camping.
In this video I also enjoy some brief windows and good weather and took the opportunity to hike near the beautiful Frio river. while the weather was clear I also spent an afternoon cooking over the open campfire and testing out some new camp cooking equipment.
I was most excited to test out my new dutch oven as this would be my first time ever cooking in a cast iron dutch oven.
If you enjoy camp cooking, nature, and the moody ambience of a few gloomy nights at camp, then this video is for you.

Wow what a great camping trip. Garner in the winter is superb! During the summer you'll find loads of people & much noise. Another great state park with peaceful camping & great hiking is Lost Maples.

Hey thanks. I’ve been there in the summer and it’s a totally different experience. I prefer the winter as well. I’ll def have to check out lost maples soon. Thanks for the recommendation 😎🤟

Strong work, my friend. I would not have seen you as a Dutch oven kind of guy, but you killed it! Fantastic editing, bro. Hearing the rain hit made me want to be there. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@ChenzosWorld]

Thanks Ken! I didn’t know I was a Dutch oven dude either until recently lol. I even joined the Texas Dutch Oven Society 🤠

Thats awesome bro. Digging the setup. Its been a while since I camped out at Garner. It was December a few years ago and the weather was perfect until the next morning. It rained as soon as we were done packing up. Its very peaceful out there. The video was a good length. Thanks for the content!

[@ChenzosWorld]

Hey thanks brother. I appreciate the support and feed back. 😎🙌

@@ChenzosWorld no problem. Thank you.

Great start or re-start...only suggestion is get a separate knife for food different from the general use knife around camp.

[@ChenzosWorld]

Good point. An extra blade is probably a good idea. Thanks for the feedback 🤟
