    Another great video. I am new to your channel and binge watched you over the weekend. You have a great voice, cadence, and very good at showing and explaining things. I just retired and getting my house ready to sell in horrible CA, then will be getting some small camper because I miss camping so much. Thanks again for your videos and look forward to mane more.

    I recently purchased the TOPDON car starter using your link. I went camping this week and got to use it to help a guy in the campground start his van after he ran down his battery. Everything about the unit feels solid and it worked great!

      I think I even mentioned in this video, but nine times out of 10 you’re helping somebody else with these… much easier and safer that jumper cables.

    My bushwhacker came a big vent. I would like to change it for a slimmer one. Do you have any recommendations?

    • @DIYOutdoorLife

      The top vent? What brand is it?
      You can always take a photo of it and email it to me, happy to help .

    You have me hooked. I recently watched Playing with Sticks Good Bad and Ugly review where you mention that you have a database of dealers. I live in VA and am willing to drive to get a good deal. Pleas share the database. Thanks

      Hey Marty, happy new year! Since I did that video with sticks, the market has gone crazy. It’s really hard to keep up with prices, they change daily.
      Since you live in VA, your best bet would be Pennsylvania. Check out this video from the dealership in PA that I did.

    As a backpacker I liked the Petzl, but I have been using Nightcore NU25 and of all the lamps that I have used, this is my favorite. One thing that I LOVE is that it gives you the option to double tap the power button and get a 1 lumen light or there is a completely separate button for the red light. You do not have to cycle through the bright light to get to the 1 lumen or red light you want.

    • @DIYOutdoorLife
      @DIYOutdoorLife  Год назад +2

      The second button for red light is huge! This one is a long press, much better than covering the light to avoid losing night vision. Thanks for swinging by!

    Great Video! Damon immediately pulled out his phone to check out the tbmpoy gear. The gas detector is a pretty cool item. Thanks for bringing us more gear to consider!
    Only becuase you asked, this is one of my favorite finds. Their value is based on price and how well they work for us and our set up. Solar shatterproof edison lights. We like them for our canopy. You can also charge them in the house, 12v battery or PPS with a wall charger. They claim 30+hours run time off of a full charge. I have run them for 26 hours and they still showed no signs of dying. Only down side in my opinion, they are a little bulky. Some people may not like the fact they cant turn them red to avoid attracting bugs.
    Normally they are $65. I purchased them on a cyber monday for $17.99, but they often have sales between $20-30. Many friends and family have picked them up on our recommendation and are enjoying them for their backyards or camping adventures.

    All of these are great recommendations! There are a few I'll have to try out! I'm definitely looking for some quality outdoor clothes at a good price. Along with a car starter you have to have a tire inflator, like a small air compressor. I use mine all the time! I have an Astro Al which has been great for me but it's honestly the only one I've owned so I'm far from a connoisseur. Keep putting out these vids! I didn't get a notification for this one but I'm still subbed.

    Possibly of designing a portable Truma propane heater ….not built in to a teardrop . Small stand and wx proof cover then running air hose and thermostat through window insert . Basically all the advantages of a propane heater with thermostat with not having to installing in the trailer 😊

      Have you seen the video I did with Mike in New Mexico? Next level Bushwhacker (I’ll try to post). He did an exterior diesel heater and a waterproof case. We could do something similar to that with a propane Truma.
