Yes, there are 2 things that bring back my old memories. The smell of a canvas tent and starting a fire with charcoal lighter fluid. They both take me back to when I was in the 4th grade and camping in Yosomite with my parents in the early 1960s.
Loved this video. I spoke with both of you at the Rendezvous in the Ozarks last year. As soon as I walked in your tent the smell of the canvas immediately took me back to camping as a child in the 70’s. Perhaps the story I remember most is you telling me about turning the model T over on the side of a mountain. It was a pleasure meeting you then and I’m glad I found your channel.
Thanks for watching. Not sure if you saw our 3 days 2 nights video has some photos and a little bit about the wreck. I also have a flashback to my youth when I walk into the canvas tent. The smell of the canvas always brings back memories of camping with mom and dad when I as young.
A lovely video. Your collection of vintage camping gear is impressive, love the old cooler. Brought back many happy memories of camping with my family back in the 60’s and 70’s, thanks.
I enjoyed watching this!😊 It is amazing the history you find just getting out into the countryside. The amount of hard work that went into building that rail line was astounding, only to end up an old country road in the middle of nowhere. I live in Arkansas myself and need to get out and have a look around there. I also remember struggling with those old canvas tents and smelling the fabric!😂 very nice car and vintage kit!😊
Glad you enjoyed it. We like to explore the old Railroad right of way for the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad (M&NA). The Model T gets us permission to explore and camp on lots of areas on private property that normally may not be able to get permission otherwise. If you have not checked out our other videos there is another M&NA related video. It is the Chimney Rock video. There is a section where we cross the old railroad bridge built in 1908 in the Model T. Most of our videos try to explore some of the history of the Arkansas Ozarks. Check out our other videos and subscribe if you like what we are doing. We have more coming out soon. Thanks for watching ....
This was so sweet. Reminds me of the older generations in my father's family. I asked my grandfather where he went on his honeymoon: he said "camping". My mother was still hiking in her 80s.
Thanks for the comment. All the stories my grandparents told of their trips in their old Model Ts is what got me interested in Model Ts and vintage camping. We hope to have another video posted soon.
My grandparents were model T campers. I don't know any details, they died when I was pretty young, but there was a photograph of them camping in Western Washington State! A pretty long drive for a Model T from Kansas in the 1920s!
Thanks. The weather is finally cooling off, so we hope to go back to where this video was taken and do "part 2". We only scratched the surface of that location. If you subscribe, you will receive a notification of any new videos we post. Thanks again.
Thank you for your beautiful video. The running stream over the rocks and the water dripping down the wall… I felt like I was 14 years old again, at the YMCA camp in Paupack, Pennsylvania. That was 55 years ago. We packed everything on our backs and climbed up Pete’s Hill. One boy just carried the cast iron frying pan and lid. The dang handle was two and a half feet long so you could put it in the fire without burning your whole self. I don’t know how much it really weighed but back then it seemed like we needed a mule. Every two boys also lugged a peach bushel basket between us, each boy holding one wire handle. All our food, water canteens, utensils were in those baskets. We put down tarps on the pine forest floor and our sleeping bags on the tarps. After we dragged our skinny butts up to the top and set up the campsite then we had to gather fallen wood to cook dinner. John Post always had a cheerful attitude and loved gathering wood. His twin brother Jeff was the best at making that fire just for cooking. We’d have big old cans of Dinty Moore beef stew and cherry Kool-Aid. It wasn’t real store bought Kool Aid, we called it bug juice. Ha! That beef stew tasted better than any Omaha steak I’ve had since. Hard work and fresh air improve the taste of food, and that’s the truth. By the time the sun was setting the mosquitoes came out and we lit up these smelly citronella candles but mostly we slapped ourselves trying to not get bitten. It didn’t help and we’d all be scratching for days. Larry Booker used to attract more mosquitoes than anyone. Must’ve been his body chemistry. Nobody would sit near him. We’d stay by the fire and Arnie Muller played guitar and we sang “Remember The Alamo” and “Sixteen Miles On The Erie Canal” and “Michael Row Your Boat Ashore Hallelujah.” It sounds so corny now but it felt so good then. We’d tell stories and swap lies about non-existent girlfriends and what kind of cars we would get when we were old enough to drive. Steve Gilliam snuck some menthol cigarettes from who knows where and we all tried to look cool while we smoked. I got all sweaty and dizzy and was glad to be laying down already. Smoking wasn’t for me. Sleep came quickly as the night air got chilly. In the morning we drank hot cocoa (too young for coffee) and hot scrambled eggs. The eggs were already cracked into a big screw top jar, like a giant peanut butter jar. We packed everything up and hiked back down Pete’s Hill. The younger campers would see us hiking back into camp and wish they were big enough to go overnight camping too. Thanks for bringing it all back! P.S. I got a Model A Roadster a year ago and already put about 700 miles on it. I love driving it. Last weekend here in Texas it was over 107 degrees and it ran fine, didn’t even lose any coolant. Last winter it went down to 17 degrees and I figured what the heck and tried starting it. It cranked a little longer than usual but caught and ran perfectly. I drove it to a Christmas party and people were so tickled you’d think I was Santa Claus himself. All the best to you and the people you love.
Thanks for watching and the walk down memory lane. I was never in a Scout group, but we did go camping a lot as a family. Lots of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Mom and Dad. We looked like a scout camp as there was so many of us. The two things that always bring back the memory's of camping as a kid are the smell of a canvas tent and starting the fire with charcoal lighter fluid. The summer heat is starting to be a little cooler, so maybe we can get back out with the T soon. We should have another video out soon. Thanks again.
It is so refreshing to view the Model T out and about in the Wild, doing what it was made for. My T was a 1926 Model T Tudor coach. Boy do I ever miss her, especially when I see one out in Nature like yours. Thank You so much for bringing us along in your "T" adventures. Best to the both of You. Good Health and Good camping. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for watching and your comment. We have always believed that the old cars should be used, and not just set in a garage or museum. We also hope to preserve the memory of how our grandparents lived. We just posted a second "playing in the snow" video of us out in the T when it was 8 degrees F. Thanks again for watching
Thanks for watching. I'm almost 68. Tent camping is not to bad when the weather and temperature is OK. The cots really make the difference as to sleeping. We usually do 2 to 3 day trips. Keeping enough ice in period correct ice chests is our main issue. We do it as vintage camping just for fun.
Wonderful content. I still run my old Coleman stove, which runs beautifully on regular gas. No worries about running out of propane.... Blessings to you and yours coming at you from the hills of southern oregon
Sears and Montgomery Wards used the same design from the late 1920s till sometime in the 1950s - 1960s era It was a great design but the later aluminum poles were lighter and the poles on the outside of the tent gave more room making the inside umbrella pole obsolete. Thanks for watching our videos
I am a big fan of the Model T's and Model A's. have a friend who is into them and enjoy his stories of his trips w/ his friends and working on his vehicle. keep posting, enjoying this video as it is centered on two of my favorite things, old cars and camping. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the comment. We just got back from 3 days two nights of camping with the T in the Ozark National Forest. We are old dinosaurs and kinda slow editing the videos but hope to have a new one out in a week or so.
Thanks for subscribing. We just got back from a 3 day two night camping trip with the Model T in the Ozark National Forest. New video should be up soon. We will be trying a little longer video. We hope to eventually do approx a 30 minute video once a month then maybe 2 a month. We are still learning how to edit videos. So please forgive our mistakes as we learn .. thanks again
Thanks, still working on the camera stuff. We just barely scratched the surface on that camping area. There are caves to explore, at least 3 times the right away we used this time. The Buffalo National River is just downstream from the campsite and adjourn's the property. Native American artwork on the bluffs to see, so more to come as time alows
@@flivverchannel We just use our go-pro 8 for most of our shots. It is designed to go on a helmet while riding a mountain bike thru the woods on a rocky trail, and still be a stable video. The image stabilizing is excellent. Go-Pros also have a very nice camera built in that takes killer photos. So if we are doing a hike or riding a Model T, all we really need is the Go-Pro. It weighs almost nothing and there are all kinds of mounts for mounting it in unique ways. It is also waterproof and will film underwater. We also have a nice DSLR camera. But we seem to be leaving it home more often. I do need to get an external mic for the Go-Pro so we can get better audio. I do suggest to have at least 3 batteries. We have 6 batteries. I also suggest to use Go-Pro batteries. The off brand batteries did not work well for us. With a 128 GB micro SD card you can get about 6 hours of video and lots of photos. 14:36 14:36
The cars are pretty tough. With today's better oils it's pretty common to go 10, 000 miles with no engine repair needed to a good engine. Back in the day Ford recommended to change the oil every 500 miles. Today we can change about every 1000 miles and be OK. The front end assemblies are probably the thing that requires the most repair. But I have about 5000 miles on mine and should get another 5000 before things need replaced. Everything on the car needs hand lubed almost daily. There was no such thing as "sealed bearings" back then. Keep it oiled and greased good and they last pretty good. One thing to remember is when the car was new it had a life expectancy of 10,000 miles. That is the life of the car !!. We have guys getting 50, 000 miles out of their cars today with proper maintance before everything needs rebuilt again. But those guys are doing mostly hard surface or very good gravel roads. Thanks for watching ...
You guys need to find lake Havasu and Merlin's old school garage He just acquired a whole crap ton of model t model a parts and accessories most brand new in the box From an old gas station out of route 66 He has so much stuff that it took several trips to bring it all back home on a flatbed truck All kinds of fenders all kinds of hoods all kinds of you name it??? RUclips type in Merlin's old school garage check them out !
Just found your channel, and absolutely love it. I have a similar channel for Model A's. Keep up the excellent video work, very impressive. Just subscribed! Can't wait to watch another video. Sure wish we lived near each other.
Thanks for the comments. We just started the channel and are still learning. We checked out your channel and subscribed. It looks interesting. We just got home from 3 days 2 nights camping in the Ozarks of Arkansas near where we grew up as kids. Hope to have the video up in a week or so.
@@donniebrown-mv7hb You're done a great job on your channel, I really like it. I've only been playing photographer a couple months as well. Bit of a learning curve for sure. Always wanted a Model T as well, but out of space for the immediate time. Keep up the great work, and driving that T.
Our tent is a JC Higgins tent. That color came out aprox the mid 1920s. Sears (JC Higgons) and Montgomery Ward (Trailblazer) used almost the same color and material till just after WW2. The best I can tell is our tent is approx mid to late 30s era. We try to keep our gear in the pre WW2 era. because Ts were still in use till WW2 mostly as secondary vehicles or farm and camping uses. Thanks for watching. ...
Hi Mark. We all got a go sometime. My grandparents lived into their late 90s to 102 years old. They ate that kind of breakfast everyday. I hope we're as lucky. Thanks for watching.
I’m from the UK but have read about and watch a few YT videos about the Vagabonds- so Ford, Burroughs, Firestone etc. Are you influenced by this era? I know here in the UK, it was a cyclist that first really popularised camping. I love the vintage kit- very heavy, but much more visually appealing.
Hi, thanks for watching . Yes I have read about the Vagabonds, and their trips are interesting to read about, but my major influence is listening to stories my grandparents told about their trips with their model Ts. Our family was poor, as was most farm or small town families in the 1920s to just before WW2. So our camping with the T is trying to do it as our grandparents would have camped with little money. A lot of our camp gear is repouposed items they would already had. For example the ironing board as a table or the red graniteware and cast iron cookware are actual items that belonged to my grandparents. We do not do period correct clothes but we do try to be as accurate as reasonably possible to their memory. Thanks again for watching.
It is a JC Higgins from Sears and Roebuck. It is pre world War 2. They manufactured that same style till aprox.the late 50s early 60s and then switched to external poles..
Is that auxiliary transmission an over and under or just a Mitchel overdrive? What are the 3 colored tanks on the passenger running board? What are the Hydraulic disc brakes on the rear from?
The auxiliary transmission is a Warford. It is over and under drive. It gives me 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears. Warfords were very popular accessories in the T era. The three cans are an accessory water/gas/oil set. I use the blue one for extra water and the other two for gas when we are on dirt roads or trails. I keep the gas out of the cans when on busy highways in case of a side impact. The disc brakes are a kit offered thru the parts vendors. They are custom made for the Ts using Wilwood brake parts. They are a bolt on kit with no modifications to the car needed. You keep the original parts and use the kits parts to install. I used Rocky Mountain aftermarket brakes for years. But the modern Rockies will not hold in reverse. Three years ago I missed a shift on the Warford while climbing a hill, the Rockies did not hold and we rolled backwards, off the highway, slid down a very steep embankment and flipped the car upside down. So now we have the disc brake kit to keep that from happening again. We live in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas and sometimes travel roads only 4WDs should be on. So good brakes are the main safety item we have added.
@@donniebrown-mv7hb Thank you very much for the reply, it was very informative. I had no idea that a 3 speed aux. trans was even available; all I knew about for the T's was the Ruckstell 2 sp. differential.
Up By Ben Organ There Is A Old Car Club, That Casey Ladue Of Casey's Off Road Recovery From Ben O,Went Out In The Woods & Recovered, & They & The Video Was Really Cool, & You Could Find Out About Them & There Club, I Think You Would Like Each Other ??? 🙄🙂😉 Good Video 👍👍👍🇱🇷
We found the tent on e-bay. They very seldom come up for sale. I had looked for about 2 years before it showed up. You can also do a Google search for, vintage canvas umbrella tent for sale. They will be either really low in price or extremely expensive. You will probably have to pay between 250.00 to over a 1000.00 for a usable tent. Good luck with the search. Thanks for watching ...
Thanks. Us Boomers love the. GenXsers too. The T is loaded with camping gear and ready to head out in a couple days on another trip in the Ozarks. Hope to have another video posted soon.
Tony. We are very lucky to still have nice places in Arkansas. It is starting to change in the high traffic areas that all the weekend warriors can get to. We have lived in the Ozarks all our lives and know lots of people. So we have lots of places that are private property that we can visit and camp at. The place in this video was open to everyone till about a year ago when someone trashed one of the caves digging for arrowheads and relics. It's now locked and only people known to the landowner allowed in. As soon as it cools off we are going back to film part 2 of camping along the old railroad. We just barely scratched the surface last time. Thanks for watching. More to come
It is near Marshall Arkansas, but it is on private land. It used to be open to everyone, but due to recent damage to the property he has locked the gates.
I can very vividly recall the smell of that green tent canvas from over 50 years ago.
Yes, there are 2 things that bring back my old memories. The smell of a canvas tent and starting a fire with charcoal lighter fluid. They both take me back to when I was in the 4th grade and camping in Yosomite with my parents in the early 1960s.
When the tent falls on your head, you know you’re alive.😊

Thank you for your beautiful video. The running stream over the rocks and the water dripping down the wall… I felt like I was 14 years old again, at the YMCA camp in Paupack, Pennsylvania. That was 55 years ago. We packed everything on our backs and climbed up Pete’s Hill. One boy just carried the cast iron frying pan and lid. The dang handle was two and a half feet long so you could put it in the fire without burning your whole self. I don’t know how much it really weighed but back then it seemed like we needed a mule. Every two boys also lugged a peach bushel basket between us, each boy holding one wire handle. All our food, water canteens, utensils were in those baskets. We put down tarps on the pine forest floor and our sleeping bags on the tarps. After we dragged our skinny butts up to the top and set up the campsite then we had to gather fallen wood to cook dinner. John Post always had a cheerful attitude and loved gathering wood. His twin brother Jeff was the best at making that fire just for cooking. We’d have big old cans of Dinty Moore beef stew and cherry Kool-Aid. It wasn’t real store bought Kool Aid, we called it bug juice. Ha! That beef stew tasted better than any Omaha steak I’ve had since. Hard work and fresh air improve the taste of food, and that’s the truth. By the time the sun was setting the mosquitoes came out and we lit up these smelly citronella candles but mostly we slapped ourselves trying to not get bitten.

It is so quiet and peaceful. Being on several thousand acres of private land, there is no one else there but us. Thanks for watching ...
Great fun , keep em coming, love it
Enjoyed it. Beautiful scenery. How often does the old T need repair. They were awesome.
The cars are pretty tough. With today's better oils it's pretty common to go 10, 000 miles with no engine repair needed to a good engine. Back in the day Ford recommended to change the oil every 500 miles. Today we can change about every 1000 miles and be OK. The front end assemblies are probably the thing that requires the most repair. But I have about 5000 miles on mine and should get another 5000 before things need replaced. Everything on the car needs hand lubed almost daily. There was no such thing as "sealed bearings" back then. Keep it oiled and greased good and they last pretty good. One thing to remember is when the car was new it had a life expectancy of 10,000 miles. That is the life of the car !!. We have guys getting 50, 000 miles out of their cars today with proper maintance before everything needs rebuilt again. But those guys are doing mostly hard surface or very good gravel roads.

That tent is the same material the tent is on my 1948 Higgins camp trailer
Our tent is a JC Higgins tent. That color came out aprox the mid 1920s. Sears (JC Higgons) and Montgomery Ward (Trailblazer) used almost the same color and material till just after WW2. The best I can tell is our tent is approx mid to late 30s era. We try to keep our gear in the pre WW2 era. because Ts were still in use till WW2 mostly as secondary vehicles or farm and camping uses. Thanks for watching. ...
LOL …. now that is an old fashioned model T era heart attack breakfast!
Hi Mark. We all got a go sometime. My grandparents lived into their late 90s to 102 years old. They ate that kind of breakfast everyday. I hope we're as lucky. Thanks for watching.
Casey Is On U tube 👍
I’m from the UK but have read about and watch a few YT videos about the Vagabonds- so Ford, Burroughs, Firestone etc. Are you influenced by this era? I know here in the UK, it was a cyclist that first really popularised camping. I love the vintage kit- very heavy, but much more visually appealing.
Hi, thanks for watching . Yes I have read about the Vagabonds, and their trips are interesting to read about, but my major influence is listening to stories my grandparents told about their trips with their model Ts. Our family was poor, as was most farm or small town families in the 1920s to just before WW2. So our camping with the T is trying to do it as our grandparents would have camped with little money. A lot of our camp gear is repouposed items they would already had. For example the ironing board as a table or the red graniteware and cast iron cookware are actual items that belonged to my grandparents. We do not do period correct clothes but we do try to be as accurate as reasonably possible to their memory. Thanks again for watching.
This is amazing! What a wonderful way to carry on their legacy! I look forward to watching all of your videos- take care
Great tent! Who made it?
It is a JC Higgins from Sears and Roebuck. It is pre world War 2. They manufactured that same style till aprox.the late 50s early 60s and then switched to external poles..
Is that auxiliary transmission an over and under or just a Mitchel overdrive? What are the 3 colored tanks on the passenger running board? What are the Hydraulic disc brakes on the rear from?
The auxiliary transmission is a Warford. It is over and under drive. It gives me 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears. Warfords were very popular accessories in the T era. The three cans are an accessory water/gas/oil set. I use the blue one for extra water and the other two for gas when we are on dirt roads or trails. I keep the gas out of the cans when on busy highways in case of a side impact. The disc brakes are a kit offered thru the parts vendors. They are custom made for the Ts using Wilwood brake parts. They are a bolt on kit with no modifications to the car needed. You keep the original parts and use the kits parts to install. I used Rocky Mountain aftermarket brakes for years. But the modern Rockies will not hold in reverse. Three years ago I missed a shift on the Warford while climbing a hill, the Rockies did not hold and we rolled backwards, off the highway, slid down a very steep embankment and flipped the car upside down. So now we have the disc brake kit to keep that from happening again. We live in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas and sometimes travel roads only 4WDs should be on. So good brakes are the main safety item we have added.
@@donniebrown-mv7hb Thank you very much for the reply, it was very informative. I had no idea that a 3 speed aux. trans was even available; all I knew about for the T's was the Ruckstell 2 sp. differential.
Up By Ben Organ There Is A Old Car Club, That Casey Ladue Of Casey's Off Road Recovery From Ben O,Went Out In The Woods & Recovered, & They & The Video Was Really Cool, & You Could Find Out About Them & There Club, I Think You Would Like Each Other ??? 🙄🙂😉 Good Video 👍👍👍🇱🇷
Yes I saw the recovery that Casey did with the guys. I know two of the guys and belong to the same vintage camping group they do.
Where did you get that tent? We have a 1925 Model T touring car. Need a tent to go with it. My family also just purchases a 1929 Model A.
We found the tent on e-bay. They very seldom come up for sale. I had looked for about 2 years before it showed up. You can also do a Google search for, vintage canvas umbrella tent for sale. They will be either really low in price or extremely expensive. You will probably have to pay between 250.00 to over a 1000.00 for a usable tent. Good luck with the search. Thanks for watching ...
From Gen X to the Boomers, We love yeah, Very cool.
Thanks. Us Boomers love the. GenXsers too. The T is loaded with camping gear and ready to head out in a couple days on another trip in the Ozarks. Hope to have another video posted soon.
@@donniebrown-mv7hb ruclips.net/video/JyVXQ0wn440/видео.html
That looks like a model A
Nope, It's a 1927 Model T. The 26-27 models were know as the "Improved Models" They do resemble Model A's
I must be lost, I did not see any graffiti on the rocks. Where are the overturned shopping carts in the stream and plastic bags? This is weird?!
Tony. We are very lucky to still have nice places in Arkansas. It is starting to change in the high traffic areas that all the weekend warriors can get to. We have lived in the Ozarks all our lives and know lots of people. So we have lots of places that are private property that we can visit and camp at. The place in this video was open to everyone till about a year ago when someone trashed one of the caves digging for arrowheads and relics. It's now locked and only people known to the landowner allowed in. As soon as it cools off we are going back to film part 2 of camping along the old railroad. We just barely scratched the surface last time. Thanks for watching. More to come
Where is this location
It is near Marshall Arkansas, but it is on private land. It used to be open to everyone, but due to recent damage to the property he has locked the gates.
