Winter Snow Camping in Below Freezing Temps - (Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel)

In this video, we go winter snow camping in below freezing temperatures. Temps ranged from 7 degrees to 12 degree overnight, and it was brutal. I take Dusty, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited Eco Diesel to meet up with some friends as well.

Thank you, I really enjoyed watching this episode first thing in the morning with my coffee.

[@wardperozuk2288]

I have to admit, I’ve watched your channel off and on for a while now but never subscribed…..until now. It’s “refreshing” to see a group go out without a pile of gear that requires you to tow a trailer. Not saying I don’t watch those other channels but it’s nice to see some simple setups! Cheers.

@@KrokemOutdoors nope! that was perfect way! haha

[@brianegeberg8497]

I would recommend a minus 20 bag, thick fleece blanket and a Buddy Heater for short term heat with windows cracked open. My bag has a shoulder baffle and I wear a warm full coverage hood and leave clothes in the bag for below freezing temps. Use the Heater in the AM and PM sparingly and leave windows open an inch to vent condensation at night and it makes it much more fun....winter camping is fun, more fun if you can find other folks to do it with you!

[@TrailNewbie]

We have a 2012 Ram 2500 diesel and recently bought a JL Rubicon also. I think the Jeep is pretty darn comfortable when compared to the truck. 😀👍 You have one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work.

Ed’s channel is AMAZING! 💯 agree.

The JL isn't as bad as how some might say it is, I agree with you. But I personally would choose my Ram for longer drives :)

Glad you got that deck lid. I find it way more convenient to just stack my gear on it and sleep in my Jeep than set up and break down a RTT. Of course I’m in a 4 door Jeep.

yeah, it helps a ton with storage/organization!

@@TrailNewbie likewise!

[@IronWolfOverland]

Great stuff! I could tell that the real cold hadn’t yet hit when you were all eating with bare hands. That’s a great winter camping challenge - not dropping your silverware while eating with gloves that are stuffed with hand warmers! Any trouble with LiFePO4 batteries in the cold? I use AGM as a precaution. Also - good to have a plan for keeping water containers from freezing!

[@KrokemOutdoors]

It was about 20 degrees -ish in the morning/afternoon , which wasn't too bad. As for water jugs, I make sure they are not full, as well as any water containers with filters of any kind are kept out of the cold.

For future reference, Tahoe is considered northern California. Central Californians about 150 miles south. Great video good job.

[@thetrailoutthere]

A USMC 4 piece sleeping system (green sleeping bag, black sleeping bag, weather proof cover, and carrying bag) holds up well against the winter. It's one of those things that works off of body heat so the less you have on the warmer it is. I was hesitant to sleep that way up until my 4th year in the Marines and man was I missing out! The first few years I was freezing regardless of how many clothing layers I slept with then as soon as I gave the less layers thing a try (just thermals on) I slept the toastiest I've ever slept in the 29 palms desert during winter. You can find them on the second hand market for about 2 to 300 dollars. I need to get me one!

[@KrokemOutdoors]

It's true! I used to carry the gore-tex bivy from that sleep system when I used to go backpacking. I know people rave about the complete system for cold weather

[@CJLane-62]

I have the black inner bag rated to minus 20 F by itself, would love to find the other 3 parts reasonably priced as through research all 4 parts together are supposedly rated to minus 50-70F!

Dude! I've done that drive down to Central Cali 3-4 times in the past year. It is a long and lonely stretch. I felt your pain.

So Jeep or Ram for a family of 3 to overland?

[@Toglander]

As a fellow JL Rubicon owner, I would say that the worst part of long road trips in the Jeep is the obnoxious amount of road noise. It’s so loud that you are forced to crank the volume on your music/podcasts to a point where it is detrimental to your long-term hearing. Jeep should at least offer a non-removable top as an option. There are a lot of people who would prefer a much quieter ride, to the ability to remove the top.

[@MrWinger1951]

Might want to convince your friends to switch over to non-cotton garments. Preferably synthetic blends or wool. They will thank you later.

[@KrokemOutdoors]

definitely important for situations where there is not change of clothes, or for situations like winter backpacking, but we switch them out sometimes in the winter if they get wet and wash them at home👍
