Winter Camping, Fire Cooking, and Christmas Tree Cutting | El Dorado NF

This year we started a new tradition: camping in the woods and cutting our Christmas tree.
We camped in cold weather, cooked dinner over the fire, woke up, and found our tree.

Thank you! First time chopping a tree in the forest, but it was a great experience! Will definitely be an annual tradition for us moving forward.

Great video!!! And thanks for sharing about the things you took with you on the trip!! That Toyota RAV4 is just phenomenal

[@LunarLanderXplor]

Thank you for watching! While gear isn't everything, the right gear can definitely make your trip more enjoyable. Totally agree the RAV4 is great :)

What a lovely video!!

[@LunarLanderXplor]

Thank you!~

Thanks for another great video looked like a nice trip. I would recommend digging a tree that size up and putting in a big pot or bucket for Christmas then planting outside after. I’m just a weirdo that thinks all Christmas tree stand should be selling trees that way. Keep up the great work we appreciate y’all sharing your videos.

Thank you so much for watching. 🙂 That is a great idea about the tree. Unsure if the permit we got to cut the tree allows removing the tree together with roots or if the roots might be too large for a reasonable indoor planter, 🤔 but will consider it for the next year. 🤞

Did you have to upgrade the roof rack for when you placed the camper on top or did the factory rack support the ikamper?

[@LunarLanderXplor]

We installed a FrontRunner roof rack platform system that can hold 600+lbs. It is attached to the factory raised roof rails that are on the Adventure/TRD models of the RAV4.

Can you post links to the two blankets? Love your adventures 😊

[@LunarLanderXplor]

Thanks! The blankets we use are from Rumpl. They have a variety of styles, materials, etc. Definitely recommend checking them out: www.rumpl.com/collections/all-blankets

[@KamberKahu]

@@LunarLanderXplor Any info on the REI blanket?

[@LunarLanderXplor]

It is a heated bed pad from Ignik: ignik.com/collections/heated-sleep-systems However, we have had some issues with the product, so we are returning it. Great concept, and looks / feels great, but parts of the pad were overheating.

Hey let me know when your in Oregon! I would love to get both of our RAV4s together for a Calab video! Stay safe!

[@LunarLanderXplor]

Definitely! That would be awesome. We'll probably have a trip up there some time in 2021!
