for this guy this might seem like a crappy snowed in situation but for me , living a life that is extremely hectic and honestly unlivable , the concept of just hunkering down like this and getting covered in snow for a while ,letting nature have some control over my life, just has a kind of romance to me. I would love to be stuck in a warm comfortable nest like that for a few days

I love watching these kind of videos while I’m in bed all warm and cozy❤

This was utterly charming to watch. I LOVED that he had a great attitude about the little mishaps along the way, yet he still LOVED his experience in the wonderful journey he was pursuing. Makes me want to do the same!!! I find this inspiring!

I’m quite impressed with a man who takes veggies and sesame oil on a camping trip, that dinner looked really great.

This winter season affected millions of people’s holidays plans. You made the right choice to stay put and not risk a sketchy drive on the icy roads. Here’s to 2023 when you’re gonna hit the 100K subscribers mark.

You are the only person I know that smiles scraping the snow off his vehicle lol. Love it!

This snowy situation is just right for an introvert like me! The dogs are a super addition ❤

You're living the dream kid! Adventures like this is what life is all about!

I'm a sucker for winter camping videos in the snow!

Glad you are staying warm and cozy in your camper. Stay safe out there everyone! ❤️

Everything about this seemed so relaxing and comfortable. Like a mental getaway from the world. That camper looked mad comfy and warm with the cold weather, and the food looked so good as well.

Im from Buffalo NY so when I saw how excited you were by the snow/storm I thought it was charming. I was like oh yeah he said he’s from Southern California. ❤️

Happy New Year, Jonathan! May 2023 offer even more exciting adventures than last year. I always enjoy your awesome videos!

I grew up here. Born in 1960. This is truly an epic series of storms!

Best solo camping vid I’ve seen in a while. Amateur camper but culinary graduate here. This guy does what actually works and not just what looks good on camera. Love the inclusion of the snow removal. Looking forward to future vids, thanks man.

Nice to hear the wind and see the trees sway and bend.

Winter wonderland. So beautiful. Thank you for taking us along for those that can’t get out 😊

I think overall it was a pretty adventurous trip, although you might want to be careful when you're walking around with the camera to 𝙉𝙊𝙏 have some kind of an injury where you can't get back to the camper. Your cooking is ALWAYS superlative, either you're a natural, or you were a chef at one time...because you certainly know how to make great meals. Nice to have a cozy camper!!With minimal modifications, it's going to be exactly what you want. I like the old backsplash you put up in the slumber queen, you might want to put something like that up again. Also, don't know if you've ever seen these, but there's some kind of a little tarp that attaches to the side mirrors that can stretch across your windshield and helps to avert the scraping and snow removal you go through on a regular basis while in that terrain. Be safe, and hope you and everyone has a nice New Years.

I'm glad you are weathering this crazy storm and staying safe.

The storm hit all of us; the wait to hear from you is worth it and I'm glad you're ok. We always look fwd to hearing from you.

I love camping and never get to go anymore. Your video brought me back. We had a overhead camper similar to yours when I was a kid. I loved it!

Dude that video was awesome I can't believe how you showed every single detail with the cooking and the walk so cool I am quite a bit older than you but I have been very curious about putting a camper on my truck you made it look easy thanks for posting! good stuff man!😁🍀☮️

Looks so warm and cozy while outside is freezing and cold ❄️

That ribeye looked amazing. Can’t go wrong with butter and garlic. 🤩 Also happy to see you using a cloth instead of disposable (not recyclable) wipes for cleaning. You can get little tablets that dissolve in water to make a cleaning solution refill to keep using that spray bottle and also make your life easier not having to haul more liquids. Better for the environment in so many ways. 💚♻️

Nothing wrong with boil in bag rice. Great for camping. We are hard core “rice aficionados”, but have used BIB rice for convenient in-a-pinch use. With a tasty stir fry the BIB style rice will suffice, but yeah, real rice fry’s sooo much better. Your adventures are so down to earth and very grounding to view. Stay safe. Blizzard hiking conditions are awe inspiring but can be dangerous if you get turned around. Happy 2023!

Love that camper! Perfect for a single person.

Enjoyed your experience immensely! Thank you! Glad you had a good time.

Thanks for taking us with you on your adventures. Happy New Year, Jonathan!

Happy Holidays!!! I've missed your videos!! U are soo entertaining even when your just walking a trail!! U are a joy to watch and I feel bad that ur truck/camper is given you so much problems now. Hope 2023 brings nothing but good things to you and Tess (hope I spelled her name correctly)!

That ribeye looked AMAZING! And yes, the road crew did a phenomenal job at clearing that are for you! Kudos to them!

I’m so sorry you lost your go pro. I’ve never seen your videos before now. Your food looked amazing and you look like you are enjoying your cozy set up I loved it. I pray for your safety out there and all good things for you. I’ll be watching more of your stuff for sure

Your after dinner clean-up brings me peace and joy! I do the exact same in my small travel trailer.

To reduce the grease splatter get yourself a splatter screen, great for steaks & bacon. Around here they are $5. Also when parking in a place that you may get a large dump of snow (or even may have to deal with many other issues) always back in. Getting moving in deep snow is the key to getting out and if you would have gotten more snow being able to pull out and just keep going is crucial. My Dad drilled that in from his time in the military logistics. Even at a shopping mall you backed in to have your vehicle pointed so you can drive out. Has helped many times!

Impressed with your cooking skills. Before a camp trip, I cook my rice at home then put it in a zip lock & store in the reefer. All you need to do is warm it up. Total yum.

Thanks for posting a Winter video. Its beautiful. I haven't seen snow for over 8 years now that I am living retired in the Philippines. Sharing this video with everyone I know.

Your clean up routine is very satisfying for those of us who are neat it’s out here😊

Great video as always! One thing I do to avoid scraping ice is to keep de-icing windshield washer fluid in a spray bottle. A couple of spritzes and the ice melts away.

You are an awesome young man! May the force be with you!!!👍👍👍

For such a small camper it has really good facilities! 😎😊

I live by the sea here in Ireland,. Every. Nite I fall asleep listening to the wind and rain and the waves crashing in but what makes it so cozy is....I stack up my log burner and leave all the interior doors open and my little cottage heats up to such a toasty level that I always end up kicking the duvet off my bed..

Thanx I can't get enough of these of videos like this if I had a camper I'd be doing the same thing!!!

Enjoyed the video! The snow on the evergreens has a timeless beauty to it. But as a life long resident of the PNW and former logger one thing that concerned me 😮was seeing you out for a walk with the wind whipping the trees, as you worried about your camera, I was thinking about your safety. The big limbs on those beautiful evergreens can snap off without warning especially with those gusty winds. They are called ‘widow makers’ for good reason. Be careful out there! Me and nearly 100,000 others are wanting to see more of your videos for many years to come. 😊

Keep it up brother You’re going to feel so satisfied when you finish the camper and you can say I build this with my hands

Winter Wonderland. Thanks for the view. 👍👍

I just realized as I watched your video that you had to go outside to film b-roll of your truck camper in the snow. That is dedication 👍🏻

Love your content brotha hope you have a safe new year can’t wait to see what you have in store for us for 2023!

Things change I hope you enjoy your camper I am so happy you have a pickup camper To keep you safe and keep you exploring God bless your heart

I live in New Hamshire around the White Mountains. I can say I feel the struggles of the weather you've been having man, we had a christmas eve and day with no power from a storm. Love your content it has relaxing vibes, great scenery, good food and brew you got going in this one lol. Good luck to you and your channel. Cheers 🍻

What a beautiful place! Thank you so much for sharing with us.

What a cute camper.

That dinner/cooking was levels above what would have been just good while camping like that! Very nice!

Good luck in the new year - for you and your channel!!🎉🍾🥂 A note: I laughed about your comments on clearing your truck of snow. I grew up in Wisconsin. In winter I always alloted a full extra 30 minutes in the morning to clean my car off! One year in University, my next door neighbor and I worked together EVERY MORNING to dig out each of our cars! Snowiest year on record. I feel your "snowy" pain! 😆😝😅❄️🌬🌨

Glad your doing OK. This winter has many van dwellers rethinking their living arrangements. Many vans frose up :( 40 years since last cold spell they say. Glad your thriving

Enjoying your winter videos! Wish i could experience camping like the way you do. Im still waiting for our first snowfall in Honolulu 😂! Keep the videos coming!

Great job cooking up a storm in the storm. Looks like I know what I'm making next day off.

Wow! That tofu looked wonderful. How about some details on the marinade, the prep and cooking? That would make a terrific sandwich. Really enjoying your new camper and adventures. Always looking forward to the next one. Hope 2023 is even more exciting that 22!

I think the coolest thing is despite how small it looks on the outside, it seems so spacious on the inside lolx

Thanks for sharing. I love seeing all the tall trees. 😊

love your vids my brother thank u. also good job on not sweating loosing the go pro . keep vibing !

Almost 100k!!! So sick Jonathan always makin my day watching your videos

Such a jolly soul even when things don’t go well❤️

Absolutely loved watching your video. I love nature . What a cozy camper.

In northeast Indiana Christmas weekend, we had cold, snow, and winds. 1st cold = -18° , 2nd 2 inches of snow with ice under it, 3rd winds blowing from 40 to 60mph. That was our Christmas.

Time to update the walls around the stove burners with some backsplash. Much easier to keep that clean. Maybe a nice spice rack and magnetic knife holder on the wall? Make use of that space!

Anyone that has the nerve to judge a person for what they make to eat in a VAN obviously doesn't know that convenience is key at times to what you do to eat! Rice and Vegies sounds great (sorry not a tofu person)! Still, this is very good looking and healthy!!!

And your cozy as a bug in a rug.. I love having a camper on a pickup.. I know it's been a little while before since I mentioned buying a camper to go on the pickup and I'm glad you did

Happy New Year! Stay safe out there. Continue to love your adventures, thanks for sharing!!

Very nice job!! Thanks for the video. Stay safe and warm.

Living your best life. I love these videos!!!

I wish I was snowshoeing there. It’s good to see you make reasonable choices out there! ❤

Thanks for taking us along! Enjoyed your video.

This winter has been pretty dreary, even here in Southern California, I have not seen the sun in days now. Makes you just want to stay inside, and you're right, the day goes by so fast, before you know it you're back in your pajamas going to bed, well I am anyway 😁

beautiful snow! dinner looks fabulous!

Absolutely love these kinds of videos. Fantastic. Well done

That looks like a little slice of heaven to me. ❤

I learned cooking grease, oils indoors is not good for the lungs. I also live and travel in a motorhome, after days of coughing and no lung power, I started frying all foods out doors. I no longer have health issues. Good luck my friend

Just a little off topic but you're so close to a 100,000 subscribers ... I'm almost certain I joined when you were under a couple of thousand! So glad the channel is growing 🙌

Bravo for the cleanup!! When you say it's challenging to keep a small space clean, you have to wonder when you see small spaces so filthy & cluttered. I'm thinking, one pan, one plate, one spatula, one fork, how hard is it to keep it clean, right? Then I see vids like "Help, I'm buried alive in my camper" and it's got 50 of everything for one person😮. We're venturing into doing more road traveling year round, esp into the cooler/colder months and looking into simple one pot/skillet meals and you've given us quite a few ideas to build on from your stir fry. No waste, efficient, filling & nutritious. Thanks for the video. ~Best to all

If you want to experience short days come here to northern Sweden . We have 14 days without sun but now it slowly start to come back

I would love to be out in the middle of nowhere and enjoy peace, quiet and nature.

Jonathan, I see that your flame on your stove top is yellow and not blue. So your not going to get the BTU output that you should. This usually happen if you have low presser either from your propane bottle running out or you may want to check the age of your regulator. If only one burner is like that then check the orifice for that one burner it could need cleaning.

That camper looks so nice, and warm, and cozy.

ha ha! i had the same door handle issue on mine and lived with it that way for over a year! figured the window winding motor would fail but nope. Totota reliability is pretty amazing

One of my favorite parts is when he cooks.

For a young man you really got it together. I bet you make your parents proud.😊

The smile on his face at 10:59 says it all ...

All the rain would be miserable for me... I like the big skies I like the sunshine... Even like the winter time.. as long as I can stay warm... Studying the desert... Those were great years... The ruins of Boaz working Solomon was born and the town where he was from.. it's just great 👍 down in the Mojave desert there used to be a Sea called the molten sea.. Used to also be the Sea of Cortez it went all the way up bullhead City was part of the Sea of Cortez.. And the great basin's of Nevada still had water in them back then

Cover your windshield and keep warm

Looks like an awesome camping trip to me ❤️

In situations like this, best to just hunker down, stay safe, warm, cook some food and if you have enough provisions, comfortable clothes, warmth, ride out the storm, rest and tomorrow's another day... good to get out of one's comfort zone if only for a short time, sometimes out of neccesity...

The food looks great- don't feel like you're "cheating" on making your meals. I admire you for being our there in that weather - you have big balls.

Love this. I'm buying a truck and camper soon and will be living out of that when my apt lease ends in a few months. All my work is done remotely, so i plan to just travel around with my dog for the next 6-12 months. Absolutely can't wait for situations like this. So peaceful.

Just what I needed! One of your videos right in time for lunch break here on the east coast 😀

Such A Kool Guy!! Too Sweet. Love his Positve Fun Attitude🎉

I almost immediately turn off a campers videos as soon as they start cooking. Yours is one of the first that I did not. The food you prepared looked great,,,, and those potatoes👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That was heavy snowy weather and the food smells very delicious, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

The dinner you prepared is way better than in expensive restaurant. Good job man.

Snow and a cozy camper and a great dinner! Nice!

Well my first time view of your story. Be safe out there. Thank you for sharing.

Fun video Jonathan, happy new year!🎉 I guess if you’ve got internet and cel service you can’t get into too much trouble. Wouldn’t want you to disappear and get found in April or something. It’s happened but mostly in pre-cellphone days.
