In the cave on Mount Shasta
Hiking Pluto's cave near Mount Shasta. It is a partially collapsed lava tube on the northern outskirts of Mount Shasta in the Klamath National Forest. After this hike, we continued exploring offroad trails and found ourselves caught on ice between trees with steep inclines.

Firewood cutting in the National Forest | Testing custom made utility trailer
Просмотров 2853 месяца назад
I built a utility trailer 5x10 and used it for different purposes. One of them is to haul firewood from the forest. I purchased a minimum amount of tags from the US Forest Service to legally cut and pick up wood from the forest.

How to build a trailer for utility or camper base
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.4 месяца назад
I built a utility trailer 5x10 based on the 3500 lbs axle. The process is pretty straightforward if you have plans. I draw all my plans in Fusion 360. If you need plans, send me the request, it's free. First, I cut the tubes(1x2) to size using the band saw. Next, weld it together to make a frame. The more advanced part is the tongue. I use 2x3 tubes for it and 3x3 for the coupler bar where the ...
TOYOTA BRAKES on a fully loaded offroad rig with trailer
Просмотров 1114 месяца назад
My Tacoma front brakes have been worn down in the middle of a long travel trip with a loaded trailer. I realized that I didn't check the brakes in time. On the way back I heard an awful sound from the brakes but it worked fine, just metal on metal. My advice for all: check your brakes regularly especially if you have additional weight on your truck/car. SUBSCRIBE for more details and more cool ...

Camper tent | DCDC charger | door gas struts [Episode 24]
Просмотров 5077 месяцев назад
Installing tent, DCDC charger, and door struts for my offroad camper. The tent itself is very hard to make because of the shape of the wedge-style camper top. The installation was easier, it's just riveting through the aluminum plates that hold the tent on the perimeter. The tent was installed on the inside edge of the roof frame and camper upper frame. When it's folding it folds inside the cam...

Way different than I’ve seen and imagined.
Storms will sneak up on you here
When designing your build, did you consider using 3M VHB tap for the skin?
I didn't, but a friend built a similar camper using VHB tape. It works fine.
Like the build. What is the purpose of counter sinking the base rail? Does it help the rivets grab tighter?
Just a habit when drilling
👍👍👍👍
Need to put center of ur axle 1’ past dead center of frame it will give u better give u better tongue weight and ur side pieces for ur frame same thickness as ur tongue frame and not have to add metal for axle mounts
That camper is awesome. What's the final build weight?
empty on cat scales 5540 lbs(the whole truck)
Maybe a stupid question, but why not use plastic fenders ? No rust, easy to fit and replace and cheap! I’m in Europe, and when I see all of these American style trailers I always wonder why they always choose to make there steel fenders ?
I use it as a step when loading. It's also very durable in the forest on a tight trail. I don't want to replace parts, I prefer to build it once.
Откуда дровишки? Из лесу, вестимо.... 😉👍
Great job on the build. watched all episodes. Can I ask where you purchased the square tubing? Thanks.
Thanks. I purchased aluminum tubing in Metal-Werx, Santa Clara, CA
Yo I saw you on my way to school
What is your gross vehicle weight?
5540 lb without tools, without water, without people
Thanks this was just what I needed !! I’m going down there next Tuesday !
Me and brother behind you though it was a military type truck
Nice truck btw
Incredible With just basic tools 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
*Promo SM* 🌟
This product is not available on Amazon. But I can say that the seller sent me a free replacement for the rear camera when the original one failed after our winter trip to Mt Shasta. I don't have any affiliation with them, just dropped a message and they responded quickly. Hope any seller can provide such a level of support.
Was worrying about bending and fatigue on that AL floor frame assembly but it sounds like it's holding up?
three years and no issues with floor
Looks great. For the amount of riveting you do, I would highly recommend the DeWalt Rivet Tool. Works really well
it's a must for the next project, thanks
@@realsystemrobot Have you thought about getting a welder? Aluminium is a steep learning curve, but you can get to a reasonable DIY level after about a week or two of practice. I just got a small 180A AC tig machine with HF start, being able to weld aluminium opened up some great options for fabrication for me. In any case, I'm really enjoying your build series and you have some good ideas in this camper. Well done.
@@SethjxlI have a MIG welder and use it for steel fabrication when it's needed. For the camper I specifically designed this type of construction. I think welding aluminum for this project is not needed, rivets are stronger for this application. And I don't use the full frame. Also, I think heating/welding aluminum makes metal weak. Even if you have all the additional equipment for pre-heating/post-heating, even if you practice a lot, then you still end up with some weak points somewhere. Of course, professional welders can argue and provide a great level of experience but this is not my case.
*Promosm*
Cheap Chinese made high frequency inverters like these that don't have an iron core copper wound output transformer are not recommended . nor are they safe for use in a mobile application because they are not UL458 listed or certified. They also offer a wimpy surge capacity and a short life expectancy.
Looking great. Good choice on battery charger too, the renogy 60A dcdc allows you to trigger it on and off, unlike most others that will keep draining starter battery until it drops below 12.4v.
are the rivet into ACM waterproof?
Not sure, depends on the diameter of the hole I think. In my case, I used sealant in the critical places where water can go(roof and angled parts of the walls) and glue where it's connected to aluminum parts.
Hi man, I’m looking forward to do this mountain in either late May or early June. I am an experienced advance hiker and getting into mountaineering. I did intro class last year and knew what I was doing. Did some high altitude hikes but this will be my first 14er attempt. Would Shasta be the best place to get into mountaineering?
Yes, it's a good place to start and it has a few different routes including the winter route where you can use ropes.
@@realsystemrobot is the winter route the avalanche gulch?
@@jonnyboy3048 some people use Avalanche Gulch anytime. But what I mean is northern routes. I didn't use it, you better find official information about it, I think it's dangerous.
Honestly this looks like a lot of fun
Agree, I didn't expect this amount of work on the way back. And I didn't check the weather in the region because I had to go this route anyway.
I like 1:50's pink pants.
I was one of the cars you saved, I cannot thank you enough
Thank you for rescuing my beautiful Daughters 🙏🏻
You are welcome

is there a video that goes over your completed project?
not yet, will do soon
@@realsystemrobot thanks, looking forward to it.
do you have any overview or layout that shows what you plan to build?
There is no special video about it but you can see results in my non-build videos for the last three years. Please, check the full list of videos on my channel, most of the offroad-type videos can show some details. Especially Mammoth lakes.
Hey sir! I love your build. Would you make a walkaround detailed video on the exterior and interior of the finished product? I would love to see a closer look at the finished work. I have seen most of your build videos and love them. Thanks! Cheers
Enjoyed watching your video. Our adventure to Hole in the Rock was amazing! Hard to believe old pioneer wagons went down that thing!
I was just there in a Honda made it all the way up 😅😅
no video, not happened
Doable on a mountain bike?
For a skilled rider - maybe yes. There are a lot of uphill on a loose rock surface. I would not recommend riding a bicycle for the whole trail. It's more like UTV-rated.
Bringing a food truck is a good idea.
How did the camper held up? I've recently found your YT on FB.
Did very well, no issues.
What dirt road is that at the very end?
It's a Silver canyon trail: goo.gl/maps/UnagJthW4JJbgjCP9
