 All righty campers, are we ready for Colorado? Yes, indeed y'all we are getting ready to head out to the wilderness of Colorado and Emmy is coming with us. I know you're looking forward to it and it's your birthday Tricks there. Hey get me We're gonna have so much fun up there, so what? She knows a little bit about is we're we are going to have a Basically like a to-do list, but a fun to do this like an accomplishment list adventure Scavenger hunt sort of thing so it's gonna be really cool So all of y'all that used to watch the lake life family channel. I know we haven't uploaded on that forever Encounter a lot of people that say oh man, you know my wife loves to watch that well Hey tune in this week because we're gonna be doing a series of camping days out there And it's gonna be basically family camping so We aren't taking Ben because he's not quite old enough yet, but we are gonna take Emmy and We took her two years ago. She was just barely ready this year I think she's gonna have a ton of fun, but we're gonna be looking at today is The overlanding camper so we're leaving first thing in the morning tomorrow I wanted to so we're leaving first thing in the morning tomorrow So I wanted to show everybody since camping season is basically upon us How we get our camper ready and some of the things that we put in ours and just show off some of the cool features of our overlanding camper You need a push I'm gonna let go you ready one two three There you go It's almost like we're camping here at the treehouse every day, which is how I like it I literally built this this parking area over here for ATBs and trailers and boats and stuff To look like a campground because I love it so much. I love truck camping I bought this this overlanding camper because of the family OSGs needs Accommodations and the reason I like the overlanding style campers is because they are overbuilt So if you look at the chassis If you look at the the frame You know the tongue everything is just overbuilt on this camper and it'll last plus You don't get animals that are able to you know chew their way through with like wooden panels This is all either galvanized or stainless and it's really tough stuff skid plates Underneath it's it's ready to go anywhere another thing. I really like about is tires You see all these camper trailers these big old camper trailers on the highway and they got these tiny little tires, man And you know that I guess it's fine if you're just going to like a paved Spot, but I like to like basically go truck camping Places I would go truck camping with the trailer. So that's why I got this thing. You know the push You don't look very happy with that slope You need high speed that better It is about to be cold this season. So we're actually going to be camping around 9,000 feet Which even in the summer can be chilly and my past experiences Backpack hunting and just going camping in Colorado and stuff. It is cold man so to upgrade to be able to keep the the kids and wife warm every night and Just basically have hot showers every day if we want them upgraded to 230 pound tanks and I wasn't sure if the opus was going to Take to 30 pound tanks. I didn't know if the regulator would fit on there, but it works great So it came with 220s switch it up to 230s and I'm carrying One extra 20 pound just in case, you know, we run out something goes wrong Whatever, so I haven't actually tested those yet. So today is kind of the day where we're testing all these things out So we'll make sure all the the heaters working The kitchen is working with that gas something I need to do I've only ever done this one time is is clean the water system. So last time I used this I was with John B We were It was so cold. It was like freezing cold. We were fishing on OH IV for some huge bass and Unfortunately, those roads were salted coming on the way home because all the ice on the roads and in Texas that's crazy and The trailer got some of that on there and rusted in some places, but again, that's why I got the overbuilt trailer So it's can take a hidden take a licking and keep on ticking I'm gonna move this over towards our water spigot so I can clean out the water tanks And then I'll show you guys some of the things I've done on the inside as well and some of the things I don't like another great thing about this camper It is like serious Industrial grade we have a parking brake like every trailer should have a parking brake like that But then this system right here, I don't want this on my boat It just feels like your float the trailer's floating behind you instead of bouncing. It's really nice Maybe let's keep it on the back porch That might work Yeah, Irish spring soap. Well, come here. I think you got a little chicken poop on you just about that. Yeah So we got some Irish spring soap put in the chicken coop just to kind of keep Yep, to kind of keep the mosquitoes at bay since we finally got rain here in Texas mosquitoes have been terrible So I don't know if that's gonna work It just has a really strong scent and I've read that it does I just drained the tanks completely There was just a tiny bit of water in there didn't smell or anything But for OSG and this little one right here, we're gonna make double sure that we got clean clean water in the tanks I literally ordered this stuff on Amazon this morning and I got it here within like a couple hours So it's camco's spring fresh RV and marine Yeah, so I've got two 25 gallon tanks. I'm gonna run it through the faucets and the shower and everything just to make sure It's time to turn on the pump. I Haven't turned on this pump in a long time. So let's see I hear it going six amps Leakage down there Should be all good now. Well, there it goes. It is working. Okay. I see blue stuff coming out Yep, she's home All right, let's test this sink water working Getting studs. There comes my birthday boy Hey, Bob You ready getting into anything and everything? That's why you're staying here with Mimi Goodness, he looks just like me when I was a kid Look at that. Man. Yeah, I know I'm dead dad Kids a hell of a climber Tell you what he'll crawl up on a lampshade and give me the opportunity I'm gonna run this cleaning solution water Through all the pipes and everything till it's completely out Then I'll put some fresh water in it and just kind of flush and make sure everything's good But it's probably okay to begin with but you know Go in the extra mile as camp commander that wants no complaints on this camping trip Okay, wife Running cleaning solution through all the pipes. All right. See that soapiness. I want you to be Rest assured that I'm not gonna die. The water was clean to begin with It was like I had you thinking about it. You did have me thinking about it You did and now we're actually clean. Okay, so I can literally like put my face under there and start doing you can Brush your teeth without fear It's been helping me good We're getting it done. Well there our last minute grocery run I think we are more than prepped for everything good to go Yeah, like in case we decide to take off for an extra week like I'm down. I don't know The first time really leaving leaving you on your birthday. Oh, well, it's it's actually It was his birthday yesterday and now it's Amy's birthday is coming up. So this is kind of like her special trip Lines are now clean Cheer that honey clean lines Clean lines you can music my ears basically, you know Use the faucet as a bidet if you would like at this point now. I have not tested out the new tanks This is very important. I want to make sure We're staying toasty up there and able to cook. So I'm gonna open up One of these babies camp kitchen Opus has a fantastic camp kitchen Love to see it Love to cook with it Moment of truth It's fire up nice that one is going for this lighter. I don't understand what in the world Do they all go? What so confused? New lines. Oh, yeah Unicorn in the backpack Very nice. Oh, there goes We have a flame try this other one There it goes That's a good idea When we're gonna go for a hike might want to take her yeah, I might have to put you in my backpack We'll see But in order to get your climbing badge, you got to climb up there yourself. I know you want that climbing badge I know you're thinking about it right now Everything good our freeze-dried milk Everything is good. Yeah, this is just for Emmy because she likes to have milk in the morning, but she doesn't like it super cold So it's perfect But we're still bringing about because we're gonna have some cheesy grits What else are we gonna have it's on that menu those cinnamon rolls aren't there those cinnamon rolls are on the menu We've got cinnamon rolls. We've got muffins. We've got chili cornbread pulled pork I mean this time I think I've prepped almost everything the only thing that we need to bake Heck, yeah, we got a Dutch oven to do that in so if you guys want to stay tuned for that We are going to be rocking out at the camp Cooking outdoors with Outdoor kitchen baby before you go. Let me get some of your complaints about this camper my complaints Yeah, like things you would like to see improvements on Shower leaks. How do you mean? Well, did we ever fix that that it was like coming out the door? Oh Oh, oh, you mean like the water drips out of the door You know what I'll be honest with you. I don't I don't think camp the old camp commander fix that But I don't seem to have a problem with it. It's only when you take a shower for some reason blame me So I don't know like I'm having a party in the shower. I don't know what's going on in there But the only thing that happens is like here's the little spigot. I'm like trying to get the water, right now. Yes I don't like the water on the on the floor of the shower. Yeah, I feel like all the complaints Like we go back in there to the wet shower So in order to fix that we've got squeegee and chamois That's how we're remedying That situation chamois on a squeegee Updated with a vacuum so we can also do And clean up a little crumbly from the boots and such I'll go ahead and show them my complaints Let's see One of my complaints this thing right here. Oh, yeah, when you open it. Yes, it jacks your fingers up Let's get these lights going here so They they overbuilt the undercarriage of this thing like the suspension the chassis all that but Opus if you're listening please You got to fix back here these these little parts That hold the camper together literally like hold this part up There's just these little tiny threaded screws in there that have all this pressure on them. So I've got these Clamp, I got C clamps on here That are holding that up when me and Stephanie actually We like hardcore test of this thing at Big Ben Went down off-road trails old or trail threads basically Just rattled Smooth like they became smooth. They would not hold anymore This back here this bracket which I thought was pretty sturdy This cracked this cracked under the pressure So there's actually two holding mechanisms. There's this It's kind of like Rinch, you know that stays there that wrenches on and then you have this clamp So the clamp broke and these little little dudes right here. That's what I'm talking about like If you guys can see this let me Ramp up the light energy These little threaded screws That's it That's all that's holding it in so like it's backing out right now Yeah, see That's just rattling back and forth and we're going down like a logging road for 13 miles, you know that kind of stuff ends up coming loose again. Look at that suspension Look at the diamond plated covers over the water tanks, you know, look at the frame It's incredible and then you just got these little little bit of screws on there. So anyway complaint Number three or four now we need to make sure that the true macombie system is working and that is the the heater for the Cabin and the water Sweating bullets in here. Yep. Yep. We got air We got air coming through. Okay, that's good For those of you wondering if something's different on my truck, you're right. I took the fender flares off They were cheap they looked kind of cool but they made the I Don't know. I just think those big flares look better on like a six inch lifted truck with big wide tires I've got 12 and a half inch tires, but They still like were inside of the flares, which I mean, it's great for not slinging mud but just didn't look as I don't know didn't look as cool and the real reason I took them off is One flew off on the highway. It's coming back from fishing flapping big flappers and then it just Shot off hit my boat and then shot I didn't do anything about it would have just shot off, you know somewhere I don't know. I was out in East Texas somewhere. So I'll take the rest of them off and I'm not displeased with it replaced them with a $40 set of mud flaps, baby We got some mud flaps so we're not flapping that mud up onto the opus All right, we're gonna close up the gray tank We purrs that cleaner through the The hot water heater and everything as well. So We should be good. We got fresh water running through there Life's happy. Happy life. Happy happy wife something like that Starting to rain, of course, I Swear you guys can probably track this with all the videos I've made on here with this thing Pretty much every time I break it out. It rains. One of you sent me this sticker a long time ago Don't remember who but I've been meaning to put it on my camper for a while. I love pooping in the woods Just kind of sums it all up, doesn't it? I think right up here up front. You know what I mean? Just let everyone know Straight out of the gate What we got going on here? I like that right there right about the Great Lakes Wabam what I love about camping typically is the Adversities we're not gonna have much of that here with the opus but you know, it's the the lack of just the normal that you're used to and Learning to adapt to things Why you're living in the woods I Think that's very interesting when I'm family camping though. I Love to eat that is where a lot of my pleasure comes from so of course the scenery. It's awesome But OSG haven't even opened this up. I know she's she's hooked hooked it up good. She does every time It's like she's got some greens in here So on this Dibetic here. I've got one side refrigerator other side freezer, which is kind of nice We've got our looks like you know kid foods basically daughters All that fun stuff she made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins So I've got apples in here guacamole It's like some bacon oranges other fresh fruits Then on this side. Oh my gosh. I'm allergic to these She hit me with that that peanut butter Right there for Amy though cinnamon rolls frozen you guys are not gonna want to miss that video Looks I'm good at cornbread And she froze the soups and stuff which is really smart So she went ahead and put those in ziplocks froze them up that way We can just enjoy now one other addition that we put in here just to give Amy a taste of home And I'm gonna leave it kind of dark so you guys can see this we added Some star lights or colorful night lights in here on her bed So she has like these light up star lights in her bed here at home And this is just kind of a little piece of home, you know, so she doesn't get homesick. I don't think she will but Just adds a little ambiance in here as far as the truck goes. I'm going as light as I think I've ever been You know typically this thing's loaded down All on top as well, but now that we have the opus a lot of the stuff just goes inside of the camper I am bringing in some firewood Got some mildly wet oak here some elm that we're gonna be taking water jugs Already put fresh water in there also filled up this fresh water We got our five gallon jug diesel as well never leave home One of truck camping without that very large and not fun to pack But those folding chairs you see in the back those big ones those recliners Those are amazing. Those are a must-have they take up a ton of space But they're must-have and back in the back. I've got just a A couple of tubs of like just basic camp stuff bushcraft stuff axes ropes Tarps just in case things get Western out there OSG with gorilla tape. This is uh, this is budget cuts Is this what you know? You live at the tree house I love my boots so much that i'm just going to Tape it on Budget cuts that's what you call that's what you call one season boot Sperry. No. Yes, actually. Sperry is a one season boot. You know what? These are one of the warmest. I don't have hunters. Hey, babe, maybe you can get me some hunters for Christmas I got you some some bean boots. You did but the bean boots aren't They're not even as warm as these are I mean, how warm are you trying to be? We're in 50 degree nights 70 degree days. I know but these these are they're like my slippers. I can't believe you're leaving your bean boots You're going to the mountains They're my slippers. They're gonna be on nice warm cup of coffee and steam in the morning I brought these the last two times when camping and you didn't throw a fit about it. I'm just saying the bean boot is like It's an icon. It is. It's an icon item. Well, you know what?
