- In today's episode, join me in central Oregon where I spend a few nights hunkered down in the ultimate skiing base camp; my Northern Lite truck camper on a 2000 Ford F350 7.3 PSD. I also take to the slopes at the famous Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort!

Same! We gotta change
@@mstrt3749 💯😊
Absolutely
Dude, your videos keep me going! I hope one day I’ll be able to escape that 9-5 grind and be able to live life to the fullest. Thank you!
What a great way to ski/snowboard…. From the sofa!! 😊 Thank you for taking us along!
I agree about what you said that truck campers are way cool!!! (Better than sprinter vans-for sure!)
Stay safe. Stay warm. Enjoy. Tell Tessa hi from all of us.
You are sooooo cute Jonathan! Lol,,I love how beautiful your camper is inside, you are so enthusiastic and sincere and you've come a long way on You Tube in such a short time...123K subscriibers in such a short time...who does that!!!! Good for you....keep the videos coming...We learn a lot from them and you are so fun to watch!!! Have a great winter! Thanks for making our days a little brighter
Oh i miss Mt Batchelor brings back old memories. Yes cycling the key on the truck will help.
If you have a generator that’s got enough wattage you could also try plugging in your block heater. It would help on those chilly mornings
In the type of weather he’s been lately he doesn’t need his block heater he needs to learn how to start a 7.3 in the cold cycle the key keep it on for a minute or so after the wait to start light goes off give it 1/4 throttle and it will start right up.
@@packingbone1953 Are you referring to the glow plug light in the dash? From what he said i believe he has done that. One quarter throttle is going to make the engine rev way too much unless he releases the throttle after three to five seconds.
JOHN YOURE SO COOL!
GREAT VIDEO
Well done Sir my favorite time of year in my favorite part ofthe country
Perfect time to have a fire in a wind storm.
Don’t press the fuel when you’re starting it. lol. It’s normal. The piston chamber has to be hot enough to combust. That’s all it is. Glow plug cycles. Is the key. Also, replace the glow plug relay and the glow plugs if they aren’t getting hot enough. Nothing wrong with the truck at all. Just diesel is foreign to you so it’s a lil unsure feeling.
Beautiful snow conditions. Heck Im even tired and ready for bed after seeing you do all that riding 😂😴🛌💤
U invite me in then you close the door in our face 😂😂
Ha ha! I thought the same thing but we all know it was just a virtual, invitation to step into his world, to enjoy this video. It was welcoming.😍
That 7.3 is a great engine! It will start in the cold. It it may take a few tries. All diesels have a “lope” in the cold weather. I have the same truck cold is not an issue. Let it run a bit with the lope and then step on the gas to about 900 rpms for a bit and you’ll be fine. You can actually put a high idle switch in for those cold days. Keep up the sweet vids! 👍🏼
Old 7.3s are just like that haha. Compression ignition does that in the cold. If you have one cylinder firing off (that surge of power) you'll eventually make it started. Just gotta get all of em firing off and put it into high idle. I wouldn't worry about gelling until it gets below zero either. Diesels are just funny about that haha, they're pretty simple machines.
Hey Johnathan it was an amazing video...I don't know how you ski and hold a camera to film , it was so cool I felt I was there with you 😊❤️
Look at riffraff diesel bud. Good place to get parts
That’s is crazy as a mechanic I was about to say idk how cold it is but if it gets close to 0 or below he is hurt unless he has his glow plugs plugged in .. as in if his camper has a power bank hopefully he has realized he can plug it in for the warmers
Your best video ever !!!
Just in time for dinner, awesome 🍻🍻
Great majestic shots of the mountains. And thank you for not making us suffer through another person living in a van video!
I have the same exact truck, on cold mornings that’s how it goes with the 7.3. Cycle the glow plugs a few times, give it some throttle, and it should be fine.
Before you get in the truck to leave just aim the buddy heater at the oil filter and oil pan 👍 That should help with cold starts since you don't have a engine block heater.
That 7.3 cold start is normal, we did plug them in for 20-30 min prior to starting when it was freezing or below. It does help it start better, but we did it more for motor longevity as it was better for the oiling. Plug it in to your generator while having your morning coffee, when you are done it will be warmed up. 👍
Skateboard 🛹
Nice riding from top to the destinations 😊🏂🏂🏂🏂🏂
❤❤DANG❤❤ that was quite the ride😂❤ the photography was much like the amazing Mountaineer forestry Forest only on skis😮❤ and yes I agree that was a blast😂❤ PS I really enjoyed your to Thailand and Nam vlog🎉
That "buenas noches" was on point
Thanks for taking us snowboarding! So, fun!
I am impressed with your cooking design. Where did you learn your skills ? Do you have a restaurant within your family history ? We have a Thai Restaurant on Exmoor in the UK named TONGDAM. My partner and I are passionate about what we do and although your episodes are packed with mishaps and mini failures, your cooking is enjoyable ...... and I dream of one day having our own camper, when we one day reduce our restaurant hours ! Keep your adventures coming 😊
Let your glow plugs cycle at least 4 times. 😊
Love your channel
Being a Washingtonian I must say I really love Oregon! Been to many cities in Oregon and love all ive been. Bandon is one of my favs though.
Thanks for the video it was fun watching you board. 🙂
Pacific NW is my favorite part of the cocountry. Too bad I can't stomach their radical politics I would have moved there when I sold my company
Felt like I was. there!,. Great job!
Everytime i watch your videos. It makes me hungry lol.
Love Bachelor! Also give Willamette Pass a try... great mountain! Believe they have little to no cost RV overnight parking.
Absolutely gorgeous Thank you I love Stuff peppers Delicious
Great views!!
Can t wait for another!👍👍
Just another great video. It would be nice to have such a great experience such as in the camper. The snow environment makes it beautiful.
My momma always told me, "you are what you eat".. getting stuffed off of stuffed peppers.. lol.
Let's goooooo.
Be safe out there ✌️
You cook such great meals! So soothing to watch 😊
Wow that wind looks gnarly!
❤❤That was really cool snowboarding like that. Glad u had a good time. Can't wait to see the next one. 💚💕❣️
wow busy at the ski place nice video Have a wonderful week,
More drone footage man! That was a spectacular blog thanks for the fire content! Love from the Bay Area Cali!
Bachelor’s a great mountain! Please wear a helmet!
I love your videos from Wisconsin keep up the great work stay safe and healthy and blessed ❤❤❤
That truly is the ultimate setup for winter sports. Well done .
What a cool video, Jonathan! You are a true adventurous spirit! I've enjoyed all your videos.
Awesome video
Watching from Florida......love your snowy adventures.
Beautiful night views you captured!
Great video as always .
I really enjoyed this video. 😊
mad props for filming while snowboarding! love the tiny home too! God bless
Very nice video thank you! You did really good snowboarding. And holding your phone. Wow!!
You’re keeping my spirit young !! Thanks !!
That was a fantastic video. 😊
Oh I love packed powder conditions! I want to go skiing so badly!
Good morning Jonathan & hi to Tessa ! That was an awesome time & you make that look so simple ! Meal looked so delicious ! Stay safe, warm & keep smiling !
Dude… those peppers look legit. Nicely done!
👏 WOWSZA! Jonathan you were Rocking It out there! I'm seriously impressed watching you do it while hand filming it. 👏 You are definitely a young man of many talents 🙌.
I love this channel, esp in winter. It's cozy. My aunt lived in Sisters. Good ole Bachelor Butte, the old name for it.
This retired couple from Nebraska watch ALL your videos! You remind us of our grandson! Thank you for "filming" your adventures! I must ask you. As I watch you preparing your meals, you use your utensils as an experienced young chef would. Question is, do you have culinary training? You certainly appear as if you do! Thank you again, Jonathan! On to your next adventure!
Great video shots! Some great camping spots near bend as well, good point to hop on the PCT for an overnight or for couple of days.
Wow you’re really good! And with a camera no less😊
OMG Your stuffed peppers looked delicious 😋 Not me taking notes to show everything u did so I can make the same stuffed peppers 😂
Just need to add some tomato sauce.
Get a block warmer and run your generator for a few hours if you go any colder.
Jonathan, I would highly recommend getting an engine block heater for the truck!
Awesome content bro!
Now that you've been in the truck camper for a while, what would you change or wish to have? More lithium batteries/solar? improved venting? Different layout? I've been looking at used truck campers.
Awesome content
I was just watching Chad from living the van life yesterday and he was at mount bachelor too! It looks so nice up there.
Have you thought about getting a key start for your truck? It may help when the temp drops and you need to keep your truck running while in the camper 🙂 safe travels
🙏🏻Thank you so much✨🌹✨What a very beautiful video ❤️How beautiful is winter🌌🌲🌨️🚚🌧️🌲What a very nice place to camp and relax 🌌🌚
The snow looked pretty good at Mt. Bachelor.
Great stuff...if we could get diesel Tacomas in Canada...I'd win...but until now you hold the crown. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
I couldn't say it better Jonathan..... Your truck is the perfect mobile ski chalet... On a side note when you woke up sore.... just think how good soaking in a jacuzzi and a good massage would of felt.
i would highly recommend getting some 12v heat pads for the underside of the vehicle, the water and even fuel/oil pans can be warmed up before moving
Little breezy!
Man O man! What an awesome ski trip! I was skiing right down that Mt. as well. My virtual ski day this year. I have Skied Mammoth and Reno but never Mt. Bachelor. The snow looked perfect. I was holding my breath when the truck was not turning over as quickly as I thought it should. What would you have done? So happy it never stranded you. The food you made looked sooo tasty. Was that couscous that you stuffed the peppers with? They looked yummy. Well, another awesome video Jonathan and ty so much for taking me a long. Loved it Have an awesome week and see you next Sunday!💛🌴🌵🏖️🦂🐬
You are a breath of fresh air!..and thanks for the snow boarding adventure! Will you be coming to Colorado?
Morning buddy
Your aksen fluently😮 1:59 it's must cold 😫 10:09 Dream lifestyle like you 🤤 18:01
Too cold for me. ❤😂
Livin the dream!
the overlarge blue goggles look funny, kinda exaggerated 🤣
if you cant plug in to heat up the block. try a buddy heater underneath for a little while. get that block warmed up!
Awesome 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
More snow ski and camping videos bro keep it up
mmmm i could smell them stuffed peppers here from england..lol
Awesome!
Nice life
Good eating
Nice truck
Nice camper
Excellent skier
Come and visit lands end
Finesterra
Los Cabos
Baja Península
Where the desert meets the sea
You should get a good Lithium Jump Starter for a diesel, like the NOCO GB 150, or GBX155
Just left Bachelor. Skiid 3 days of brutal conditions
Helmets are cool 😎
That’s normal when it’s that cold with old 7.3 I had one for many years. I would cycle my glow plugs 3-4 times then fire it up it would run normal idle for a couple minutes then go into high idle. No big deal.
Those old 7.3 trucks don’t like the cold. It’s best to plug them in if possible.
Trunk campers rule
What fun
You should start covering your windshield to keep the sleet and snow off it..
Also being in those cold temperatures look up Hot Shots Secret for cold weather fuel additive. I run diesel extreme and edt but they have another for the climate your in.
YOUR AT MY HOME RESORT!! I WAS LIFT MAINTENANCE BACK IN THE DAY!! HIT A BRO UP AS ID LOVE TO RIDE WITH YA!
