  • Come along as I camp in my truck near an amazing lake. Cook a spaghetti meal for dinner and enjoy a campfire with a view of the lake. A foggy morning with some coffee and a nice breakfast before leaving camp.
    Hope you all enjoy this one!
    Great to be back out!!

    The camping life, in whatever form you choose, is all about the simple things in life. The igloo cooler is a perfect example of that, simple yet functional. The world would be a better place if more people could appreciate the value of nature and simplicity. Enjoyed the video very much!

      I agree. I love state parks for the nature. But over the years people want to bring electricity to every site. Wi-Fi. Run generators so loud that you don’t hear the nature sounds. I just love the peace and quiet of the woods.

    Great to see you back, Dylan. I agree that having the right-size gear makes all the difference. I just returned from a week-long solo camp in Boise, and the YETI Roadie 24 cooler that I brought ended up taking too much room in my van, despite my not using it very much at all. I'm definitely going to downgrade to something smaller. Nice vid!

    I stopped by your channel's page the other day to check in on you LOL - I hadn't seen you around the suggested videos section in awhile. Yeah man, keep the videos coming if it works out for you to do so - sharing things online is defintely a labor of love - there's not much in the way of money/sponsorships when the subscriber and view counts aren't crazily huge. But there's always value in sharing - even if it just means that only tens, hundreds or thousands of folks ge tto enjoy it (instead of the millions a lot of people get on CZcams to try to get). So if it means anything, I enjoy your videos when I can't be out camping IRL. Your videos actually made my mind up about getting a Softopper - and I think about your sharing of the tip to secure a strap to the tailgate everytime I use mine LOL. Here's something I'd like to figure out for my setup: an easy to deploy awning to extend weather/sunlight coverage either off the back or off to a side of the Softopper. I carry an AquaQuest Defender tarp with me in my truck setup, and have two extendable poles with guylines. I'm thinking I'll use carabiners to hook the tarp's tie-out loops to the Softopper's external sewn-in loops along the side (the ones that hold the quick-release clips for rolling up the side flaps). Then drape the tarp across the top of the Softopper, extended out away from the side of the truck bed I clipped to - that way there's not just a gap where rain would run off into. I'll just use the two extenable poles and guylines to hold up the outside end. But I'd love to see what you could come up with for adding some covered area off the Softopper without having to haul some huge canopy tent.

    • @DylanDelong
      @DylanDelong  Před rokem +1

    Hey Dylan, I wanted to let you know that my Softopper came in and hope to instal it in my truck this weekend. I'm in Northern San Antonio Texas and it has been hot here. Not sure when I will go truck camping, but I will continue to watch your videos in the meantime. I truck camped before in a hard shell and can't wait to try out this Softopper. Keep doing your thing and have a wonderful night my friend.
