In this episode I finally try a tarp set for the back of the Jeep. This is a simple and quick set up with a tarp, bungee cords and some rope.
I've been wanting to try this for a while and it worked out AMAZINGLY !!!
This truly is an inexpensive and quick way to have a covered area for your Jeep camping adventures !!!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

Good tip too is move truck after rain and u get dry ground under the truck if u move forward.

@freddiemacklr2655 2 жыл бұрын

The idea of using a tarp from your vehicle is brilliant rather than getting soaked. Good call

Great video! Love the setup and it looks very affordable. Lot of people buy all this expensive (and cool) gear that is overkill/ luxury. Keep it up brother, worth the sub for sure!

Nice. Talking my husband into overlanding he just doesn't know it yet.

Just burning the ends will keep the rope from fraying.

@adventurelife1972 Жыл бұрын

I agree however depending on the type of rope it can make a difference. Thirty years of rock climbing and dealing with ropes has taught me some lessons.

Quick suggestion, you could have guy-lined through your wheels which would have allowed you to be able to still open the rear doors as needed

Thanks for focusing -in on the set-up portions. Very helpful for even a simple set-up. I'm guessing you're using a 12' x 12' tarp. Thanks for the tip on those toothed fasteners. I love the outdoors but I haven't really done any camping. I like to think that I don't need a ton of gear. Thanks!

I'm doing this for my vancamp I bought a carsule but I love my Coleman tent so I'm not going to use the car Soul pop-up cabin I'm going to have that for my duckies to be in my yard to keep away any flies sometimes and this would be like connecting my VanCamp to my tent house thank you for the great idea. I don't know what size tarp you have but I'm going to have my tarp that's big enough to also cover my tent so I'll have my tent close to my Van Camp cause I have a bed in there etc so I'll set up in there too so it's like having two big Living Spaces

Bro you made an amazingly entertaining video! It is great information in fact I had a simple tarp setup for my 2009 caravan no build camper I wish I had known about those bungee cords and clips at the time would have made my life easier! But I upgraded to Hasika upgraded canopy it is a 3 Pole quite simple awning setup it is very versatile you can put it on the rear of your vehicle or the side and it makes a completely covered shelter or you can roll up the sides and have an open-sided shelter. I really enjoyed your video you're very funny bro but I can see you got a master rigg there and lots of technical know-how you are much appreciated!!

You wasted three feet of tarp by hooking it to the roof rack??? Just put it about a foot past the window, and hook it to the wheel well. That way the entire tent is covered and not just half.

@freddiemacklr2655 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Chris it’s Claudio. Love your channel dude. Now I hate the fact I sold my kayaks years ago. I can’t believe you sold the pick-up! Don’t get me wrong, man that Jeep is sick. I have two burning questions: if you had to would you be able to sleep in the Jeep? I mean if you pushed the drivers seat forward would it be long enough to snuggle inside the Jeep? Second is the 4WD system of that Jeep. So is it a part time 4WD where you cannot engage that if the roads are relatively dry (wheel hop turning) or is it a full time AWD system? Watched all your videos bud. Love them. Keep it up. You are made for this.

@adventurelife1972 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Claudio its been a while hope you are doing well. It was time trade in the truck for something more for my adventures, and I'm loving it. There is a custom made air mattress for the jeep that fits perfectly with the seats forward, its on my list so I will be doing some jeep camping videos. The 2wd has electronic traction control that can be disengaged and Hi/Low 4wd. It is NOT fulltime AWD, it is true 4wd. I will be doing some cool jeep camping videos this fall and winter, setting it up for more overlanding style. Thanks for watching buddy, I appreciate the support. You are right, I am made for this shit !! LOL. Hope to see you soon.

The clips are made by Nite Ize, the model is the Figure 9 carabiner, they can be purchased on Amazon. The bungees were from Princess Auto, not sure the brand (tarp bungees) is what I remember. I am currently filming a video using suction cups for the tarp if you don't have a roof rack. The clips are amazing! Be sure to check out my other tarp videos. Cheers form Ontario Canada.
