    Every since I can remember, I have always had a desire to help people. Whether that was my time as a youth pastor and even now; in my everyday life. I enjoy shooting videos to create memories for not only myself; but for my kids and their kids to be able to look back and reflect on the memories that we built.
    I also have a desire to help others. Whether that's through motivation or encouragement. I enjoy sharing my experiences with you. I would like to see and hear about you stepping out and reaching your goals and dreams.
    My focus isn't becoming the next big #youtuber.... but if it happens, then it happens.
    My primary goal is to create memories with my family and encourage you if I can by what I'm doing.

    I did a camp in the middle of a Scottish forest all by myself in my Rooftent on top of my Subaru outback and I loved the solitude but then again I’m used to being a lone wolf 😉
    As for showers, if I can in a location I will use a Kelly kettle to boil water for a collapsible bucket and I have a rechargeable shower called colapz that fits in a small bag. If not some wet wipes.
    Enjoy the camp, enjoy the alone time ;)

    nice video! I've got an OBW reserved, but waiting for the SOS button recall to get fixed. I haven't ever camped, so this was a great video to get some ideas for what to do. How much ground clearance do you have with the lift-kit and new tires? Any concern about voiding your warranty?

    • @TheEpicUnknown..
      @TheEpicUnknown..  Před rokem

      So its a 2"spacer lift. I havent physically measured to see how much higher it is with both new tires and the lift. But it is noticable. As far as i have heard, the warranty is still good.

Ill get back with you on the tires, im heading to work with a carpool buddy. But i did reolace them with Toyo Open Country tires. The ride quality feels really good but it did get just a bit noisy. MPG'S, I havent ran the numbers but i think i did lose a little bit on that. It still drives really good and handles great. The lift gave it a little more aggressive look in my opinion.

    Hey, John. First-time visitor, but liked and subscribed. Just bought a 2022 Forester Premium and am looking forward to some carcamping and some nice, long trips with my wife in the new car. Question: Did you lower the PSI in your tires when you started hitting the dirt trail? I know some folks do that for added comfort and traction, then fill their tires before the hit the highway with an electric pump.
    Regarding showers, I'd pretty much do what you did. But, there are these 5-gallon foldable water containers to which you attach a shower hose, and you can hang these up from a tree branch or from your vehicle if it has something that stands higher than yourself to attach it to, and use this as a shower. Water may be VERY cold, so some people may heat some water on their stove to mix in with the cold water to make it warm. REI also has a pair of cool little shower units that are inexpensive, too: www.rei.com/product/199737/reliance-flow-pro-portable-shower-2-gal &. www.rei.com/product/758045/sea-to-summit-pocket-shower

      Good morning Sean. Thank you so much for liking and subscribing. I appreciate that. Yes, i did deflate my tires for a more comfortable ride. I believe it also increases traction. There was a noticable difference in the comfort and less spining of my tires doing certain obstacles. Regarding the showers, i have also seen some cool water heaters that heat the water as you shower. Most people i see using that are fulltime youtubers and live on the road. Maybe someday i will get to that point... but i could say with certainty that my wife would be more apt to camping if we had that lol.. Thanks again Sean!
