  • Camped overnight at a beautiful free campground!
    To make camping life easier on the road I've set up my car to have a half bunk in the back with a small table (shoe organizing rack) to use as a desk and table to put my laptop on. I have a 100 amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery to provide me with enough power to run a coffee maker and lighting. My bed is leveled out with some pine boards and shims so I can sleep level. The whole camping setup can be removed in minutes to return the car to normal.

    Think the vast majority of subscribers are in it just to see you doing something you love, Steve. A break once in a while just makes the uploads more special. I've noticed a few of my favorite channels have been slowing down the uploads to focus more on their own quality-of-life, and I, for one, would be very happy if that was part of the reason for the less frequent videos. You owe us nothing, we owe you everything.

    Steve, dealing with loss is the most challenging thing a person can go through, especially during the holidays. I lost my mother when I was a boy, the day before Thanksgiving. Twenty years later I still get teary eyed just thinking about her. I can’t say it gets easier with time but you do eventually learn to accept it for what it is. Please know in your darkest of days that you are loved and admired by so many people. Take care Steve.

    Folks, when you lose the love of your life, certain times of the year are really tough to get through. Losing yoru mom after that. Brutal as well. He's had to get through the holidays, and then Valentines day.... Cut the man some slack. He's going to have a LOT of really bad days, weeks, months. He's going to have some good days weeks, etc... Anniversaries, holidays, birthdays, it's rough as it gets. No one here gets to judge him, or expect him to be any way other than who and what he is. Cut the tantrums. Now, I'm going to go my merry way before I start cussing at some of you. Steve, whatever it is, you do what you gotta do to keep moving forward. You've been a blessing to many. If we can be a blessing back, let us know.

    Hi ya Steve. I ran the winter roads (ice roads) for 8 years and myself and most of the drivers I worked with used those lunch pail stoves. A few years back, and ours were shaped just like a lunch pail, hence the name we gave them. Mine went to 290 degrees. I'd pick up 3 lb. pork or beef roasts to cook in it. At that temp it took about 2 hours to cook them. Also put a bit of potatoes, carrots and onions in with the meat. As much as we could squeeze in. Get 2 or 3 drivers with them and all cooking something different, we ate better than most restaurant's out in the middle of nowhere. Once you get the hang of it Steve, you'll really enjoy it. The pamphlet you got with it should tell you the temp it goes to. Enjoy your meat loaf and be safe.

    Your SUV setup reminds me of mine. Mine is a cargo type SUV though. And it only has the two front seats in it. My passenger seat folds flat down into a table. I sleep with my head at the back end and take my shoes off and crawl through from the driver's seat. I also have a portable stove and power station and coffee maker basically the same setup as yours. I made a custom sized mattress to fit in it from an old hotel mattress. I stripped down to the bare springs mainly so I wouldn't have to about bed bugs or anything and measured the sleeping space in my car and cut the springs to width and made sure that there were no sharp points that would stab me and put new foam on top and made a cover for it. I live in mine full time. It's been working out pretty good so far.
