Thanks for the video Jason. My wife are looking at the Telluride as a new vehicle and since I love to get out camping and fishing,you have made a great argument for the vehicle(I'm already sold,but have to convince the wife). I have the benifit of knowing the Kia line pretty well as ,when they first came up here to Canada in the early 2000's I worked as a salesman at a newly established Kia dealer and learned to love the little Korean cars.This new Telluride and it's cousin the Hyundai Pallisade look like good,heavy duty ,AWD units that do the job and are not gonna cost an arm and a leg to purchase OR maintain. Looking forward to enjoying your channel and seeing the mods you have done to make the truck even better for an outdoor lifestyle....thanks again from Mike,up here in the Great White North.
I know you get a lot of crap for the Telluride, but I love what you're doing. You're showing people that you don't have to have a beefed up 4x4 to get out and camp. Good stuff!
I agree. No reason to whine that there are better vehicles. I just hope Jason keeps it honest. If he comes to a situation where his truck would perform better and overcome an obstacle that the Telluride won't, I want him to share it.
Fair enough, stock the old Ford would be able to get many more places than the stock KIA, but I am excited to get the lift on it and do a little work to the front and then I am very interested myself to see how AWD will compare to standard four wheel drive. Jason
dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days :)
Hello my outdoors friend, you have a really nice set up with the Kia. I like it that you take care of your mature dogs. You be safe out there. I look forward to your next video. 🤗
Nice setup! I have a new 18 Chevy Colorado with an ARE TW cap that I'm fixing up for my travels. Building a half platform bed and office/charging station on the opposite side of the bed. I had considered a minivan but couldn't find a 4WD for where I need to go. The Telluride is awesome looking! Nice vehicle!
Sweet setup! Looks like just about ANYONE could enjoy camping as you have shown it. What he shows is very realistic here, folks. Camping like this is absolutely great. It keeps everything luxurious and simple. This video shows how easy it can be to enjoy the camping experience. Get out there, people! It's not all that hard to do and the rewards last a lifetime!!!
Hey There - excited to see the build but even more excited to see one of your regular videos of you and your best mates “outside” WOOHOO!!! lol I’d like to see the Teluride up in the mountains because I’m thinking of purchasing one for my mum. Cheers mate and happy trails
That was definitely a nice convenience I am looking into changing my setup in the future so the dogs don't have to be lifted into the tent anymore. Jason
Looking forward to what you come up with, wife and I were looking at Jumping Jack trailers. Now she is telling me that she wants an overland trailer for storage and an Oz RV2 to sleep in. On a side note and please don't be sad it was time, My 13 year old yellow lab lost his battle with cancer and age this past week. Today we brought home Cooper his adventures will start in June once he gets all of his vaccinations. I will send you a photo of the new pup via email. Cheers and keep doing what you do for all of us out there your content is the best! @@PrimalOutdoors
Love this thing and you've got a lot of folks curious about this Kia. Cant wait to see it all tricked out, however I'm not sure you left enough room for more Pendleton or an AR-15. ;) this is great and much appreciated!!
Hi!! I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. We were looking for suv for car camping and Telluride was the #1 option! Hubby and I are pleased with our Telluride camp set up and pretty good to sleep for two adults too (well we are shorter than you lol)
Glad you’re doing this series with a regular family SUV. It might inspire people to load the family Truckster and hit the trails. Question: can you disable all the beeps, alarms and warning tones in the Kia for a more stealthy camp site?
I know this is an old video at this point but I just wanted to say thanks for posting it. As a Telluride owner who bought the car with zero thought of camping it's very helpful and giving me all sorts of ideas. Just wanted you to know that to counter all the people pissing and moaning in the comments, there's at least one person who only found your channel because of this content and really appreciated it.
Really been enjoying your truck camping videos with your tent on trailer!!! This????? Not so much!!!! So, while you’re doing the Kia deal, I’ll be back for the truck vids!!! Everyone to their own thing...... this just isn’t my thing!!!! Later!!!!
Ok, cool totally understand but FYI the trailer and tent will be back as soon as the receiver is put on the KIA and I will be posting a truck video next week, since I have both vehicles and since both will be dialed in for me. It will be fun to have both a truck and SUV to my disposal. Jason
I need a larger SUV and this KIA Telluride is a contender. At 5'7" there would be plenty enough room for me and that the feature of using the remote to close and open the rear door while lying in the cargo area is a huge plus.
How's the ventilation? I've seen magnetic window bug screens online that just attach to the outside of the vehicle and cover the windows, might be good for this kind of use. Cheers .
Jason awesome video ! If I may , add those covers over the windows so you can crack the windows at night to let the mosture out at night !!! Thanks Brother !
Hi,I have a question for you: I saw in a newer video, that you have a long jack. What I do not know is how will you use it, since you have OEM bumpers. Where do you lift the rig?
Great setup Jason! Love it! Wasn’t sure at first how you would like the Kia but it does grow on a person. Everything fits and plenty of room. One word of advice - might want to hide the Pendleton in case you get pulled over 😉 lol!!
I was kind of wondering how that worked up that way. I'm thinking my state has an open container law. Although the fact that I don't drink probably contributes to me paying little attention to that topic.
jason your channel is very good you do very interesting things in camping, I told you that we saw you in the 5 course to Glastone Kia. I am from tigard or. luck and keep making more interesting videos 👍
This is the exact set up I’m planning on running with my fridge, but I got the goal zero 1000, though that may be overkill. Can you tell us how long that Jackery can run the fridge (how many nights can you get out of it before you need to get in the car and recharge). Thanks! Love the videos!
I am sorry I don't actually have answer for you on that because I was driving a little each day. One issue I did come against is the Jackery will shut power to ports off if it doesn't sense a load on it after period of time to help conserve battery since the fridge would cycle on and off sometimes the Jackery would shut itself off. Not sure Goal Zero does that or not. Jason
Primal Outdoors - Camping and Photography Thanks for the reply and info. The Jackery looks great and definitely more compact than the goal zero. If it can last a night or 2 that would be the better option. Thanks again from a fellow Oregonian just getting into overlanding.
Goal zero has a problem keeping the fridge working, not very familiar with Jackery, but now you have my attention. If you can power it like you are doing, then that is a win! Just looked and Jackery prices are pretty good.
I can't believe the amount of goodies you are gonna get for free. This looks like the big break I was hoping you would receive, I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 100k subscribers in a month or two.
I’m happy you have this opportunity to drive that Kia and try it out. Sadly though, I don’t see that rig as a good overlanding vehicle. You would definitely be downsizing your gear with that rig right now. Maybe a roof rack for some things. Maybe some trips out in the areas you, Casey and Todd use to go.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be outfitting the Telluride to have more overlanding equipment along with my trailer. As this all gets done you will see the rig become more and more functional for me and the dogs.
What about when you crash into something with all that loose cargo in the back ? It would be a lot better if you put the heavy items more to the front, just behind the seats. Or find another way to secure the cargo with a bar in front of it and or straps. ( i,ve been there...)
I'm actually impressed at how much can be done with it while stock. Although if I had all that expensive looking gear I would probably be more comfortable with it somewhat secured when it was outside. Just in case!Now for a question. What's the power like? I'm not asking if its a Race car,or even super fast. But does it keep up with traffic and how does it pull hill's? Espessilly when loaded?
Sounds to me like the power is probably fine then.Somehow I'm not surprised,despite some automotive "Journalist" claiming it was gutless at altitude.I'm glad that it seems to be working for you.I find it interesting.Oh and I'm not sure about the laws up your way.But I hope your careful not to get blamed for something your NOT doing.@@PrimalOutdoors
Jason, how long does the Jackery keep your fridge powered before it needs to be topped up? I've been thinking of swapping my Yeti for a fridge to avoid dealing with ice, but I sleep in the back like you're doing here and haven't figured out how to power it overnight. Great video, cheers. Loving the walkthrough/tutorial/etc kind of content in between your more cinematic trip videos.
hi jason!what i highly recommend to install,is a net or something between your stuff and your dogs and you.when having an accident(which i don't hope),all your stuff is flowing around and hits you.this can be very dangerous.lovely greetings from austria
Don't worry...that is a priority on my list. This was the first weekend out with the Telluride and she was bone stock but I 100% understand what you are saying and already am looking at options to keep me and the dogs separated from the gear.
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy the videos. Right now we are still in the build process so I don't have the complete list yet...but I will be dropping build videos as we go along.
Nice! Do you leave the food outside at night? Do you do anything special to avoid wildlife from making a meal out of it? I’d love to try this setup but am not sure how to store the food. I always thought it had to be in a locked car so bears don’t get at it.
It really depends on the area but bears are not an issue where I was at in fact most places in Oregon I have never had a problem with wildlife. I think wildlife is more of a problem in areas where they are use to people camping and leaving food like campgrounds, state parks and National Parks. The only time I did have problems with animals was raccoons in a State Park. Jason
Very interesting video!! I love the Kia telluride and I always learn allot from you on the important things you use to keep the fridge and cameras powered up.
excellent video, Jason ... kind of wish you'd leave the vehicle more stock, to truly show that you don't need all of the special equipment and vehicle mods to enjoy overlanding ..
This is a nice set up. It seems to work well for you. How do you manage moisture buildup while sleeping? Just leave the widows cracked? Which works well in nice weather with no bugs. I’ve slept in cars on many occasions and usually in bad weather and I find moisture buildup to be a huge issue. Just curious to know what you’re doing to combat that. Also, is your mattress custom made or did you pick that up form somewhere? I’m looking at making some modifications to the Jeep for “over-landing” so I’m keen to see how the build on this goes. Keep the videos coming!
Kevin, it was fairly warm so I slept with the back open most of the time and bugs were not issue yet. The mattress is one I had from my Kodiak Canvas Swag. Jason
That is why Jason is building it out, with tires and more overlanding necessities. To see what it is capable of, not only stock, but customized as well. Let's hope Jason gets a chance to take it out on one of Casey's excursions once it is ready for overlanding.
Ahh man I was hoping to see some of your photography , well hopefully you'll get that lil' rig set up soon so you can get up to the good stuff. Can't wait to see the kia decked out. Are you going to try and put the tent on top of the car or keep it on the trailer ?
Hi Ted. I am hoping to start getting out and doing some more photography again soon. I will be keeping the tent on the trailer and will be adding a receiver to the KIA.
If you can measure ground clearance at a few spots under the car before and after the wheels/tires/lift, that would be neat! Looking forward to the update videos
I think this is fun trial. How well can an off the shelf stock “suv” handle your style of overlanding.... fun for you and maybe(maybe not) good for Kia. We shall see how hard you push it! The negative comments are not worth listening to!
Jim, it will be interesting to see but remember the vehicle is getting some mods like better wheels and tires and lift which in my opinion it really does need the stock 8" of clearance is limiting if you try to do anything tougher than standard forest roads. Jason
Can't call you primal outdoors anymore with all of the updated stuff maybe hitech outdoors or good life outdoors. yea I'm jealous looks good seams comfy enuf how long before you get back to camping and those beautiful camera shots of the great outdoors.
It’s nice to see that your willing to try new avenues of camping
Great video and I am looking forward to the build.
Looks like a fun project. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for sharing Jason.
Fancy seeing you here. Stocked up on mags but missed my last shipment on Friday. Been watching you... God, for a while now.
@@moose2934 Mike thank you for the support. I'm a huge fan of Jason's channel.
This is great. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together Jason.

Thanks Lisa, so far the dogs and I really enjoy it!
Great video Jason.... looking forward to the end results!!! Keep up the good work!!
Nice! Looking forward to watching the build progress, Jason!
dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days :)
@Gianni Donovan Yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
I can't wait to see what is next on the Kia!!! Looks like you're enjoying it :)
Hello my outdoors friend, you have a really nice set up with the Kia. I like it that you take care of your mature dogs. You be safe out there. I look forward to your next video. 🤗
......yeah.......lovin' the way he loves his dogs........💙
Good series for the car camping option.. I'm working on motorcycle camping set up.... So many fun option for everyone... Good vid and info....

Really a great watch, look forward to more!
Congrats Jason.
Love the dogs
And a spot for the Pendelton. Love it!
Can’t wait to see what is next!
Excellent!
Looking forward to the finished build!
Thanks Ozzie, me too
Dude, Kia has really come up!
Well done Jason love the videos I'll be watching for them.
Thanks Jason and thanks for the support of the channel.
Niceeeee setup!

Cheers mate and happy trails
Interesting to see how it turns out.
The car dealer was smart to ask you do this 🇨🇦
great video and looking forward to watching the build !
Sounds like it will be a great option once it's fully decked out! Thanks for showing this, I got a couple of great ideas from this vid!!
Your welcome
Jason
That’s actually a pretty cool setup 👍🏼
I just bought one and we camped in it in our driveway and it was comfortable.
Super excited about this build!!
Thanks, Benjamin. I am super excited to start the build too.
Nice sharing 👌👌👍👍
Nice vid Jason, pretty cool that the dogs can get in and out easily. Looking forward to the build and the adventurers to come.
I to like how he made it easier for the dogs. Espessilly considering they are older dogs.
That was definitely a nice convenience I am looking into changing my setup in the future so the dogs don't have to be lifted into the tent anymore.

Awesome video!!! Just miss the old rig!! Great job!
Holy awesome
That's a GREAT truck Jason !!
Thanks, Jay. I am excited to see what the future holds with it.
Nice little unit Im using a humless 1500 but once again while in desert it failed totally
Great car and setup buddy 👍🏼
Can't wait for your off-road modifications
I'm looking forward to seeing how you set it up with the mods.
Hi!! I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. We were looking for suv for car camping and Telluride was the #1 option! Hubby and I are pleased with our Telluride camp set up and pretty good to sleep for two adults too (well we are shorter than you lol)
Hey Jason congratulations on your Kia sponsorship. But looking forward to your next truck and tent setup video. Cheers from Utah
looking forward to this something different and affordable
great video
Glad you’re doing this series with a regular family SUV. It might inspire people to load the family Truckster and hit the trails. Question: can you disable all the beeps, alarms and warning tones in the Kia for a more stealthy camp site?
Hi Fidel. I am not familiar enough with the vehicle yet, I will have to look into that.
nice video👍
Hope whoever is building this out they install many tie downs!!!

Will the portable power unit allow you to jump start your truck if the battery dies?
Jason awesome video ! If I may , add those covers over the windows so you can crack the windows at night to let the mosture out at night !!! Thanks Brother !
I love your vids
Thanks, Jo!
when you sleep in the car and need to open the windows a little. is there a bug net that you can install?

you can stretch out at 6'4" that is good for me. can you sit upright in the back with the seats down? thank you
jason your channel is very good you do very interesting things in camping, I told you that we saw you in the 5 course to Glastone Kia. I am from tigard or. luck and keep making more interesting videos 👍
Do you keep the cooler outside overnight? What about rain or bears? Would the model with a second row bench seat be better?
Love the video! Please share the make/brand of your camp chair as it looks sturdy and exactly what we're looking for.

Drive that Kia on some back country roads! Interested how it handles stock.
I did drive it on quite a few forest roads and handled amazing well, I think it will do even better once it has better tires on it.
Jason
It handles amazing on back roads
I can't believe the amount of goodies you are gonna get for free. This looks like the big break I was hoping you would receive, I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 100k subscribers in a month or two.

Well compared to the old ford this thing is a rocket, but I couldn't tell you how it compares to other modern cars in its class.
Jason
Sounds to me like the power is probably fine then.Somehow I'm not surprised,despite some automotive "Journalist" claiming it was gutless at altitude.I'm glad that it seems to be working for you.I find it interesting.Oh and I'm not sure about the laws up your way.But I hope your careful not to get blamed for something your NOT doing.@@PrimalOutdoors

Great video, cheers. Loving the walkthrough/tutorial/etc kind of content in between your more cinematic trip videos.
Nerd Going Outside get an eight foot cord extension to leave the fridge outside
okay!
WHAT?!?! You can run the fridge from the Jackery? We need to look into that. Awesome video Jason!
hi jason!what i highly recommend to install,is a net or something between your stuff and your dogs and you.when having an accident(which i don't hope),all your stuff is flowing around and hits you.this can be very dangerous.lovely greetings from austria
Don't worry...that is a priority on my list. This was the first weekend out with the Telluride and she was bone stock but I 100% understand what you are saying and already am looking at options to keep me and the dogs separated from the gear.
Does anyone know where he got his sweater?
Love the video, scenery and topics. Please continue. What is the list of things they (???) are going to do to your KIA Telluride? Thanks...
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy the videos. Right now we are still in the build process so I don't have the complete list yet...but I will be dropping build videos as we go along.

That is why Jason is building it out, with tires and more overlanding necessities. To see what it is capable of, not only stock, but customized as well. Let's hope Jason gets a chance to take it out on one of Casey's excursions once it is ready for overlanding.

FIRST!!!

Are you going to review the fridge
If you can measure ground clearance at a few spots under the car before and after the wheels/tires/lift, that would be neat! Looking forward to the update videos
Ok will do, feel free to remind me later if I forget.
Jason
I believe ground clearance is 8in but I'll have to double check!
My uncle lives in Telluride co the best ski resort in the usa I love skiing in Telluride co
You keep lifting the fridge that way and your back won't like you much. The car looks pretty roomy. Happy camping.
Cant wait to see the build. Will you lift the vehicle at all or just swap rims and tires?
The plan is to get a lift as well as the new tires
Totally other question wich boots are you wearing? Looks like vivobarefoot.
Are you happy with those boots?
They are the Belleville Mini Mils T103 and yes I love these boots.
Jason
I think this is fun trial. How well can an off the shelf stock “suv” handle your style of overlanding.... fun for you and maybe(maybe not) good for Kia. We shall see how hard you push it! The negative comments are not worth listening to!
Yes! It will be fun to see how far that little car can go.
Jim, it will be interesting to see but remember the vehicle is getting some mods like better wheels and tires and lift which in my opinion it really does need the stock 8" of clearance is limiting if you try to do anything tougher than standard forest roads.
Jason
How are you driving this car around without license plates? I feel like my buddy Jason is pulling a fast one . 🤔
There is a paper plate on the window.
