Solo Car Camping with Rain and High Winds! Off-Grid SUV Camping

caution be in area well let's hop inside for now I'm getting hungry let's make some food here and uh get out of the cold wind well guys we got about a 2 and 1/ half hour road trip to go to our campsite we got some rain and the high winds my chair has been blown all over so I'm just going to do a quick home tour I just moved out here actually in North Dakota now so here's the kitchen got you know granite countertops got the lights under there this thing is awesome it's cure egg you can make coffee that way or you can use the cake cups so yeah it's got your dishwasher and oven and all that type of stuff in there and then in here is my laundry room which I think is really nice to just have a separate little laundry room there got garbage in there little step still got your basic stuff in here and the living room is not finished yet I still got to get a couch and a TV I want to get 85 in TV something like this entertainment stand with a fireplace and then kind of couch like that this will be my daughter's bathroom I'm going to let her decorate it how she wants and then this is her walkr closet a little bit smaller but plenty of room for her and then here's her bedroom so we got to get our bed and uh basically decorate this too here so [Music] [Music] for guys we are safe under the moonshade it is windy out here oh my god listen to that this stick just bounced off of my car I think either that or the moonshade look at this massive tree above us dude it is super windy out here I don't know if you can tell but it's like really windy so I did here's the moonshade stay here baby don't go anywhere but you can see I have it uh staked down there oh that's kind of loose might have to tighten that up a little bit but the other ones are pretty tight oh look at this this is a true test I got staked in three spots here so hopefully she stays down this is a little experiment here here's it from the outside it is raining I don't know if you can see the water very well it doesn't pick up super good on the phone you can hear it I'm actually going to put my raincoat over my hoodie and let's go check out this Campground cuz there's nobody here and uh before it starts raining harder you might as well check it out now we should be nice and warm I don't like this Hood cuz it's so long like makes it so I can't see but it does keep me dry let's go check out this Campground here quick there is some loud sounds I keep hearing oh what was that something's out there know if it was a deer that took off or what but there's like some loud banging I hear every so often sounds like a gunshot but I don't know why somebody be out here shooting in April I don't know what this is if this is like a place where the keep wood or something something like that I'm not going to mess with it you hear that there some loud sounds over there let's go check out this little building it looks like a bathroom or something men well this is the right side see if the bathroom's open oh it's locked dang bro they did a sturdy we got to pee in the woods now like men just kidding what about the women dude women got to pee like men too caution bear in area black bears are residents of cro State Park keep all food well we do have our bare mace so while the women definitely ain't getting in there they got you straight roped off got a little spot for some water wonder if it works I don't know nothing coming out of that side probably shut it off for the winter got some nice campgrounds here yeah that sounds like gunshots or something I don't know what else that would be stairs to River uh yes please let's go find the stairs to the river there a little path right here maybe this is the stairs to the river well I can see the river I'm not sure where the stairs are but I guess we can make our own stairs I just got to be careful I think this is the best conditions to try and skip a rock but yeah that was a fail got our Michael Jackson tree here hanging out doing the lean good we got a little Trail heading up here I think that's the way we're I take back up I don't want to get lost here this is beautiful the rain's starting to come down more again I better get back what do we got here that's interesting little spot where everybody can come and have like a little show or something oh you can watch maybe a movie on there have some kind of projector I'm assuming got your nice little fire right there yeah let's let's get back to Camp here I think we found somebody's home what's up bro you in there you in there boy well our awning is still on there that's good look at this tree guys this thing is massive it's like what is that some kind of like white pine or I don't even know what kind of pine that is maybe that's not a pine it's probably not a pine that thing it's huge I'm parked right next to it or under it God will protect us in Jesus name right now it's saying it's 53 fahit inside the van and it's 43 outside but it's 43 wet and super windy so it feels like it's really cold out here well let's hop inside for now I'm getting hungry let's make some food here and uh get out of the cold wind let's get a little bit more light going in here that one and that one hopefully you guys can see me from these two angles I'm going to try to record from those hopefully it looks okay this can's almost empty already from last time I went camping I'm just trying to kind of finish it off oh yeah she's already putting off good heat so that should warm it up in here nice oh we're actually really roomy in here guys look at this I got plenty of room and I'm only using this for lights tonight so that'll be way more than enough power in charging my phone got our heater up there here's my little setup guys nothing special but got our little light got a candle so we're going to turn that on this is just for a little decoration look at that guy he's smelling at us and we're just going to use this to boil some water for coffee and for food cuz I just brought some dry food I just brought this uh Venture meals chicken Teryaki so I'm going to have that for dinner and I brought a little treat these cookie bites so that looks good got to crack these windows a little bit we got those things on so water shouldn't be able to come in here take this off for now so we can see outside says we need 13 Flor ounces so this cup thankfully has little markings on it these things do have this little like Groove cuz see It'll tip over like that but if you push it like that there's a little Groove to kind of keep this up so when you grab it it doesn't burn your fingers you usually want to have some kind of rag or mitt when you grab this too cuz this gets really hot like how this thing comes with a spoon just pop it up like that push this like that now you got a little spoon got it warming up right now good old propane nice and simple guys look at the temp difference already it's already 20° warmer in here it's just continuing to rise cuz that Mr Buddy Heater is warming it up I got that thing on low too it is actually showing a little bit of carbon monoxide so I just cracked these windows more I think I didn't have this on very high and it just wasn't getting a good burn I turn that off for right now just because we're running this but usually I never see see it's back down to zero usually I never see this showing any carbon monoxide so definitely something to keep by you and obviously if it got high it would beep but I don't like it's saying any for so it was definitely from this thing time for our adventure meals should be boiling here oh yeah it's probably already boiling got to always remember to take these [Music] out stir carefully close zipper wait 5 minutes stir again and release guys I'm really trying out these GoPro shots I'm hoping these GoPro shots look okay because if they do then I will be using this more often cuz it's a lot easier than trying to move around my tripod when I don't have much room to move a tripod around but here it is woo still very hot but it's really good let's try out these cookie bites here it says two servings but uh we'll see about that might end up being one these are actually pretty good well food was simple and good it's not quite dark yet so let's go back out there and see if we can uh see any animals any black bears well it's time to set up the trail cam we're going to aim it towards the vehicle will we see anything on it probably not but you never know one of these days we're going to catch something on it here we go well guys as you can see it's getting very dark out here this is usually the time when the Predators come out we do have our bare mace going to have a really bright flashlight so let's just go for a little stroll around Campground and see if you can see anything all right we found the stairs to River this time go see that River again maybe there's something down there having a little late night drink before bed guys it is so peaceful out here like I can hear the wind really aggressive kind of like off in the distance over the trees but other than that that it's just so quiet I just wish I had my thermal right now cuz I would probably see a lot of animals especially off in the distance imagine if I had my trail oh my god there was a deer did you see it oh you guys probably can't see it a all I saw was the white tail like you know the big well white tail obviously but I saw it running off and jumping I was just going to say this would have been the perfect spot for my trail camp cuz you can see it's embedded obviously humans mainly but you know the animals like to use those Trails too so the animals are out so I think it's about time to start heading back towards our safe shelter here go back up these stairs home sweet home for the night well it's raining again guys if you can see it look how dark it is up there I was trying to take some thumbnails and it just started coming down this is fun sitting under a dry shelter like this I'm pretty sure I heard wolves I'm not 100% sure but it sounded like wolves it was very far away it was that direction perspective though see my car that's a pretty decent Siz SUV I mean ain't no Redwood first thing we do when we get inside lock the vehicle there we go about to have my protein shake I already got the powder together getting back in the gym kind of fell off for a little bit there but we're get back on it as you guys can see I am getting ready for bed here putting my 3-in foam sleeping pad down got my pad down just getting my 0° sleeping bag down pillow bam bed is ready that is one thing that is simple with this vehicle it is pretty simple to set that up it only takes a couple minutes for right now this is just my daily and my camping vehicle but I'm going to actually keep this as my daily and then get another van at some point here as my dedicated camping vehicle G that mud can you guys see me I'm trying to test out these GoPro shots this is kind of a test video guys so I apologize if this is not one of my best videos I'm going to get to bed guys and I will see you in the morning hi baby you good puppy you good puppy hi hi no come here come here heard you barking he wants to come inside you got to go back home buddy I'm about to have some coffee I'm about to have some coffee bro he's about to hop inside dude good morning guys it's my favorite time of the day coffee time we had a little visitor the neighbor's dog somebody came in here at like 10 something last night maybe they just wanted to wait till the winds died down or something which I wouldn't blame them cuz uh was pretty crazy woo I actually picked this up from Shields yesterday it's going to be strong get that bathroom ready just in case if you guys want to support the channel and help me get a van again says I don't need a cabin I have a van it's one of the coffee cups in my merch store all right guys I'm about to head out of here hopefully the GoPro
