Hey Kevin, awesome video and setup. The reason your cold even in that -15 sleeping bag is the same issue that hammock campers have in the winter, its the reason they use underquilts, your body is squishing the thermal layer in the sleeping bag taking away the thermal properties and drawing your body heat downward while the cold air underneath the cot is pulling your heat away and cooling you, look into putting a another layer under you or under the cot like a a underquilt.
Yes sir. I just got a sleeping pad to out under me, so I hope that helps. Thanks for watching a Timmy. Miss you live streams.
Exactly. I should of read this as you already covered it.
No worries. I appreciate you
You keep camping, I'll keep watching. Camping just adds a new layer of fun to a fishing trip.
Awesome! Thank you
It doesn't get any better than this...reminds me of camping on the river
I loved it. Can’t wait to do it again.
Love it!!! Going camping on the boat.
My favorite
I’m glad to see I’m not the only person who has the same ideas I love camping on the pontoon it’s a great way to go. Thanks for the video
Thanks Joey. I hope to do this much more.
I really enjoyed watching your video brother! You seem like such a wholesome God-fearing man and Id take you fishin in my boat any day! Keep posting!
I appreciate that!
This is something I was literally just thinking about trying ( renting a pontoon and camp out on it with my son) so I punch it in on the tubes and this popped up first!! Love your boat brother!
Awesome! It was so much fun. I can't wait until it cools down a little so I can do this again.
Thank You Kevin for sharing the video. It looked like an awesome time You had. Stay Safe!!
Thank you too Wayne. God bless.
Thanks for your content. Gotta say, for the first video of yours that I have come across I am impressed with your attitude at life, you seem like one of them kind hearted souls that are becoming increasingly rare these days. A little bit of advice on camping in the winter time that I picked up in the Army, camping on a Cot in the cold prevents you from making the most of your insulation. You simply have too much cold air underneath you as well as around you that robs your body of heat. We had outstanding sleeping bags in the Army and even they felt worthless on a cot in the winter if you had no insulation layer underneath your body to absorb the heat.
Well thank you Charlie K. Yes, I've received much advice since this video came out. I've invested in a sleeping bag liner and a sleeping pad to go between me and the cot. Thanks again for watching and for the tip. Thank you also for your service.
Awesome little set up for camping
Kevin awesome job guy. Always found that nomatter how you camp the food taste way better Being outside. Loved the video hope you continue doing what your doing and enjoy your adventures. Life is way to short not to. Tight lines as always...
Thank you Jo
Looks like a great time. I can't wait to get on mine.
It was awesome!
Very good video and you are right the food always taste better when you are camping
You got that right!
Awesome
Get a canvas cutter bedroll plus your sleeping bag. You'll never be cold!
Thanks for the advice Joe.
Another nice video, Kevin.
Thanks for the Scriptures verse.
God bless you and Happy New Year.
Thank you! God bless you!
Watched your video as I have just purchased a pontoon and was wondering about the camping on it. You mentioned the bag not keeping you all that warm when the temp dropped down and what you were wearing to sleep in. From an old man who has spent many sub zero nights in a sleeping bag in Elk camp, here is a tip that so many will say baloney to, my Brother-in-law did, do not wear clothing to sleep in, you will sleep warmer. The reason is your body heat will get trapped by your clothing instead of warming the inside of the bag. B-I-L, from California, didn't believe me when we went to bed in camp, the first night, the beer was frozen and the whiskey was sluggish. The next night he tried it my way and was a convert. If you feel the need to wear some clothing when using a sleeping bag, wear it on top of the sleeping bag, not on you inside the bag, especially a jacket. Gives just a little extra layer but surprising how effective it is.
Thanks for the tip. I've actually learned that since this video. I've also got a better bag! Thanks for watching.
Yup Kevin ! You has fun and I like those rechargeable light bulbs!
Thanks Dugger!
love the camping on the toon
Me too, can't wait to do it again.
Awesome video Kevin, looks really fun!
Thanks Pedro
NICE CATFISH
REAL NICE SET UP YOU GOT
Thank you!
Camping and pontoon, you have my attention sir!
Lol yes!!!!
That looks fun. Keep up the great work buddy
Thanks Daniel
Great job videoing. I have camped on my pontoon a couple of times.
Thanks Steve! It was fun.
Awesome man... for a fishing hobby this is the best camp boat
Thank you!
Man yeah dude! I’m game to camp anytime! It’s my favorite type of fishing!
Me too!
love camping I just love outdoors
me too
Looks cool , comfortable...
Very
Thanks Kevin, I really enjoyed this video. I too pull all nighters on my pontoon but without the enclosure, the main reason my wife won't go back. And I bet that alfredo probably wouldn't be that good at home, weird how everything tastes better when your out like that. Great video pal and good luck in the future.
Thanks Greg. My wife lives our enclosure for sure!
The mountain house chicken teriyaki with rice cold soaked, then add some hot Cheetos when you’re ready to eat….. best meal ever when you’re hiking 6 miles into the woods with a bow to kill a big black bear that you have patterned….. I will stand by that meal all day long
I’ll have to give it a try!
Great video Kevin. Nicely done.
Thank you
Nice videos Kevin, thankyou I appreciate them. I’m building a pontoon boat so I can start doing the same kind of vids. I live in Myrtle beach I’m gunna take my pontoon to chimney island next week and camp there.
That's awesome! Good luck with the build!
Happy fishing brother! I appreciate your video and subbed. I wish you and your wife all God's blessings. Live your dream.
Thank you so much.
Nice! Loving your set up
Thanks Darryl
WTG Kevin! That was awesome and very informative. I’m been wanting to camp the Mississippi River on my pontoon. I need just about everything you used. Except I need a 2 burner I think? Gotta have my coffee with the bacon! I could literally smell that bacon inside the now seasoned enclosure!
oh yeah, it took all day to get the bacon smell out! hahah. You can just get a coleman stove, they have two burners. Thanks for watching!!
Too funny!!!!!! I search for “pontoon boat camping”, and the first vid is from a South Carolina guy!!!! LOVE IT!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Nice fish too!
Number 1 source!! hahah
You crack me up. Bacon mmmm lol
Yesssss!!
That's cool going camping on your pontoon boat. I myself have wanted for the last several years to build a shanty boat for camping on the water.
I love the idea of a shanty boat
We love dreher island as well. We live close to wateree state park and like camping there as well. My favorite is our annual trip to camp on persanti island up on Marion. That trip is one I have been doing since I was 7 years old with the men in my family. We go the week of thanksgiving and love every minute of it.
Wow that’s awesome. I might have to come visit y’all next time.
@@PalmettoCats we are always there. I have an uncle that has been camping that island for the past 50 years.
Wow. That’s so cool
Jim here from Chilo, OH, I live on the Ohio river, one of the best add on to my pontoon is to the side doors, you know those door stops you put at the bottom of your doors in your house with the little rubber feet? you take your foot and pop it down, perfect to keep the doors open. Great vid"s man!
Thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching.
just as an fyi, on the sleeping bag thing. When you sleep in them fully clothed they don't seem to work all that well. I have a 3 bag sleep system, army from my time in the service. Unless it's winter winter I need only my lightweight green bag and bivy cover. when it's going to get pretty cold need to add the black bag in. Also cot and or hammock you need a pad underneath to stay warm as the air is under the cot/hammock. Cool video. We don't camp on the boat much we do try to get some ZZZs in the over night tournaments though.
Thank you. I’ve since fixed all of that. I’ll be more comfy next time.
That looked like an awesome time my friend. Can't wait to meet yall when you come to Dreher
Can't wait!
So cool thks
Thank you!
Nice camping. Those Muddy River rods look reeeeal purty at night. When I went hunting I had the blue camping coffee pot with the white dots, and I'd take noodle bowls and hot dogs. Boil the hot dogs in the water and pour that water into the noodle bowl.
Oooo that sounds tasty
Nice editing on this video! I'm the same way with mosquitoes man, they LOVE me. I'm always shooting that bug spray. Peewsschh peewsschhh! 😄
Lol thanks bro. They love me
Cool video looks like fun
Thanks
Good video by the way. 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome! Think you've found a niche. As has been said, keep making these videos, we'll keep watching. Oh, can relate to "oversize."
Thanks Melvin!
Cool video nice set up and the 15° rating on that bag is a survival rating not comfort but if you add a liner you'll gain some more warmth
Thank you!
man I love you boat!
Thanks Michael
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thank you Magic
@@PalmettoCats Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….
Hello Kind Sir, As Chesapeake Bay was saying you need to pick up a self inflating PAD to put on top of your cot. I usually use an 1.5 inch pad but I do have them up to 3 inches for snow camping, I just open the valve and mine self inflate and when they are done I usually give them a couple of puffs to add a little bit extra, it really helps. I weigh in @ 298 and I really squish the sleeping bag flat and the pad will help by adding some insulation under you.
And I also use one of these ( Coleman Sleeping Bag | 50°F Fleece Sleeping Bag Liner ) that my wife picked up for us to use. I teased her bad about it, but boy was I wrong they work super great, it's like fleece sheets on your bed easily add 15 degrees more to your sleeping bag, and after camping a few times you can wash them at home and keep your sleeping bag clean, and during the summer I use it as my only sleeping bag it works well. I have seen some that are silky but I don't know I would probably build up so much static energy I would shoot sparks 6 inches from my fingers
Got the pad after the trip. I’ll definitely look into the fleece! Thanks!
Oh you know I’m watching.
Thanks buddy
I'M GETTING MY CAMPING GEAR READY !!
Awesome!!
Great video Kevin what kind of enclosure do you have ! Howling at the moon cat fishing !
It’s a custom enclosure made by Toon Time LLC in Sumter Sc
I'll be there
Hey Kevin,
That's an awesome set up all around! What kind of pontoon boat is that? I need something like that with the enclosure for those cold and/or rainy days myself. Great video!
Thanks! Bennington SV 20. It’s fantastic!!
Nice trip,Love to camp while fishing! Those bag ratings are survival ratings not comfort. 0 degree bag would probably be a little better. That or a hose and 20# bottle for that buddy heater. Good Times Keep em coming brother!
Absolutely, should've got the 0. I do have the hose now, was just waiting on the filter.
@@PalmettoCats nice bro. Nothing worse than waking up freezing lol.
For sure!
Man where did you get that great enclosure for your pontoon boat? I love that and would love to have one for my boat!
Awesome trip bro
It was custom made by toon time LLC
You seem like a super cool dude! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video! We just got our first pontoon, switching from a regular fish and ski boat, and we can’t wait to get an enclosure to camp out!!! Do you prefer the partial enclosure over the full enclosure?
Well thank you for the kind words. I prefer the enclosure from the middle to the back of the boat so I can still fish off the front.
@@PalmettoCats that’s a great point, thank you for responding so quickly. 💙
@@larue83tx no problem
👍🏼
I thnk I saw on a video where you had a sabiki Rod? Do you like that? Thinking of getting one.
yes, the sabiki stick is awesome.
I fish out of a 20 ft Sun Tracker fishing barge, can you give some info on the enclosure?
It’s custom made by Toon Time LLC in Sumter, SC. They have a Facebook page. Go check them out.
Greetings,
First this was an awesome video. I have a few questions. How much did the camping zipper walls cost? Where did you find them? Also why did you bring the folding bed when you had that awesome L shaped set to sleep on for free? Just wondering why you went with the hammock?
I'm new to pontoon boats so forgive my questions if they seem off. Lol
The enclosure was about $2700, it was custom made by Toon Time LLC in Sumter SC. I brought the cot because the couches on the boat are narrow and I am a bug guy. No worries, ask away!
The rating on the sleeping bag indeed is what rating it should keep your vitals warm and u alive. In no way is it a what temperature you will be comfortable in it!
A valuable lesson learned. Thank you.
Where did you get your enclosure ? That's nice !

Where did you get your Bimini enclosure

Cool video man, I bought a pontoon this fall and plan to do some camping. You seem like a cool guy as well, you’d be someone I’d have a few beers with! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Chubb. Love camping in and off that thing. You’ll enjoy it.
What is the light you’re using in the front of your boat?
Comped light
Hey Kevin ,
I just remembered when you put the pot on the table after taking it off the stove , Did it burn the table? I was so worried that it would.
I put it down for just a second and then put it back in the stove. Didn’t burn. Thanks fully.
What brand bimini top with encloser is that
Custom by toon Time llc
There's tide in the Santee Cooper?
Yes, the Cooper river, below Lake Moultrie, is tidal
Just found your channel what part of south Carolina are ya?
Welcome Joshua. I’m in the lowcountry. Moncks corner/Santee Cooper
@@PalmettoCats ok me and some friends go there every few years and boat and set some cat lines. I've always wanted to boat camp just bought a pontoon boat so hopefully soon.,...mine doesn't have the enclosure but I may price it.
If you do it, get a hard top. If I could go back, I would have ditched the bimini and just got a hard top. Otherwise, you'll have to take it off and put it on every trip. Can't ride down the road with an enclosure on a bimini.
AKA......Richard summers
It is a new me. But still old.
I lost my old videos trying to switch over. There's nothing on my site now but O. add some as soon as possible.
Awesome
Pisicfun 60 reels. What’s your thoughts on them.
Fantastic reels for the price. I have had two of them for over a year with no problems. I have a discount code you can use too! CAT18 at Piscifun.com
Thank for the info sir. And keep putting out the amazing vids and god bless
Save the greese to put on your bait.
Good idea
Being fully clothed actually messes with the sleeping bag
Really?! I never knew that.
I can darn near SMELL that bacon cooking....Its Torture to watch!!!!!!!! Save me some :^)
LOL, I got some ready.
I wonder if those fish go back home and tell everybody they were abducted by a 👽
LOL, you know what....I wonder the same thing sometimes!! Especially when I don't get anymore bites! ahahha
Thats way to close to the gators! You may need that light to see a gator too! I guess the gators are good in some ways. Nobody is out there walking around!
Lol 😂 I’m not worried about a gator!
@@PalmettoCats lol
