    You might want to invest into an electric blanket. You could put it over your sleeping bag. I noticed you have power supply. You might be able to find a 12 volt blanket. You need to crack a window when using your little buddy heater or cooking. Both put off moisture. Depending on your budget, will determine what insulation you use. Just remember weight!! Good luck. My husband and I camped in our truck for many of year. Now in our 60's we have a van.😀

    I went to school with Jonathan. We played baseball together in middle school with a few other friends. Jonathan was catching and a player collided with home and broke jonathans arm he got up didnt yell cry or cuss once, just stood up and said ow that hurt, not knowing he broke his arm yet. Then went back and tried to play again. Most badass thing I've seen on the baseball field

    A good way to stay warm when sleeping in the winter is to change your socks to clean, dry wool socks & to wear a beanie or some kind of wool hat. A pad of reflectex also helps to reflect the heat back toward you & insulates against the cold air under the mattress.

    You would stay warmer and cooler if you insulate your canopy, specially if you use a reflectex with a 1/2 air gap. I have a similar set up but everything is insulated including the truck bed, and with all of that I’ve been comfortable at -35f. I always bring more than I use, extra 20gal fuel, 20gal water, 20lbs of propane, and food for 4 weeks. You will have more room if you are closer to the floor, which will let you set straight up. Get the most out of 22sqft is an accomplishment that most people will never understand, but is doable with design and configuration always changing.

    TIP: To get rid of the condensation, crack your window just a smidge and the condensation will go out the window. If you have 2 windows, just crack them both and the condensation will escape through the cracks. You don't need the windows wide open, just crack. Try it.

    Jonathan - you're a bad boy for leaving all that snow on the roof of the truck/cap. Where I live in Canada, we can receive a fine if we don't clear the snow/ice from the roof of our vehicle because if it blows off as you drive and blocks the view of the driver behind you it could cause an accident.

After watching you crawl in and out and get dressed, reminds me to think seriously about a taller camper for head room, making my sleeping platform much narrower to provide a way to bend my legs at the knees while sitting up and making sure my camper is lined to help cut down on condensation.

    Dang? Did the pump have the price per gallon as $9.095/$9.895 or did I misread it? I’m in eastern GA and gas has gone up in the last month to around $2.29 per gallon

      Haha! Luckily it’s not THAT much. It’s $3.67 a gallon which I still find crazy compared to most states outside of California 😞

    If are you going to mammoth, you must go to June lake and get some hawaiiian food at Ohanas

    Your camera views are great!! But I do imagined you going back for the camera and adjusting it someplace else. 😅🙈That makes your videos so unique cause you do it alot.

    Don't use that gas heater in the camper shell. Coworker here in Maine accidently killed himself sleeping in camper shell with Coleman gas heater during deer hunting season.
