- On my maiden voyage with my homemade topper camper, I set off for the north shore of Lake Superior, stopping for the night in the UP of Michigan.
It was a little colder than anticipated.
PLUS- bonus hike in the morning! See how it all goes down in the video.

Some notes:
If you don't have one, get a carbon monoxide detector.
My dad was a traveling salesman in the 1960's in Michigan, and he used a slide in pick-up truck camper to cover the upper and lower parts of the state. He talked about cold weather like that, and blizzard conditions, and I sensed he really loved it. Many of the businesses he called on, were surprised to see him in such bad weather, so he usually made good sales, because I imagine they would feel some guilt if they wouldn't support someone who was willing to brave such terrible weather conditions to keep them well supplied. You have to remember that those times were much different than today.
As a person who just been through 1.5 years of chemo: Thank you for making me feel like I'm out on trips in cars & nature. 😊♥️🤗Love from Norway.
As a country girl who lives way back in the woods, I get a lot of great tips & ideas for various projects from your channel... I love that you publicly show your love for the Lord & pray before every meal. Peace & Love from Georgia, USA.
Cold feet winter camping you say. Here's a tip. Boil some water and put it in a Nalgene before you go to bed. Toss it in your bag and send it towards your feet for the night. Then, when you wake up during the night thirsty, take a sip of warm water. In the morning you hydrated and supplemented your feet comfort all in one. I've done this a bunch. Take care.
You should add to your notes: To keep warm, pee in a bottle and put it next to your feet at night. If urge hits you at night, retrieve bottle and rewarm. For Women, please use the Shewee for better results. Brooke you are amazing and always love to watch you get into trouble. Stay warm, healthy and always remember to follow your nose!
I’m 62 and inspired by you, so I spent 3 nights on our creek in north Texas. 27 degrees... 3 dog night and only had one. Tent camping and loved every minute of it. On the 4th day a cattle roundup. 6th generation cattle rancher. Life is good and God provides!
Brooke, I live in a caravan. When you're back home, cut some cardboard to fit in the window frames (under the curtains) It really makes a difference. Flat & easy to store 💜
Thank you Lord for this precious sweet child of yours. I pray that you watch over her and be with her. In JesUS name I pray, Amen!!!
Glad you were able to stay warm in such cold temps! Thank you for praying over your food and for the viewers. It means more than you can know! God bless you all.
Brooke, I’ve never seen anyone so happy to be freezing their butt off. You’re amazing. Hugs to Dave and thanks for the great video
Hi Brooke. Love your channel. When Mom & I used to go camping, she would be cold at night. I made pouches out of washcloths to hold 2 hand, foot or body warmers (which ever ones I could get). Then about 30 to 60 minutes before bed I would activate the warmers, and put them in the pouches. I’d put one at the bottom of the sleeping bag for her feet, one about half way up and one up where her shoulders would be. This helped Mom stay warm for most of the night. Just thought this might help you be warmer in your topper.
I know this is years after you did this, but, I am living vicariously through you in hopes for my years of solo camping after retirement. Thank you sooooo much for your inspiration.
Brook, I've been away from your channel for a while (forgot to check in!) and forgot how precious you are and what a joy you are to watch. I have to say you are one of the most lovable people I've ever "met". Such joy in you and such a trooper! Glad to be back watching you again. Take care of those digits!
All the work you did on the truck camper is amazing. Great work Brooke. You show people what's possible. Love that you shop at thrift stores!!
We use those little packets from the hardware that you can put in your pockets, mitts, or boots to warm up our hands or feet. Kudos to you for hanging in there. I probably would have bailed. You are one tough cookie!!2🙌
This is my first time watching your channel. I must say you are a very brave young woman to be out and about camping in such extreme cold weather. May God continue to bless and protect you as you continue your life’s journey.
I’m basically living in the back of my pick-up like that. All propane needs to be warmed up first. Also, fan would be good to circulate the heat from the Buddy Heater (maybe the next size up would help for your heating needs). The biggest problem with propane is moisture. So if you have wood in your truck it might get moldy. I also have two sleeping bags. My Coleman is rated for -40 F. But that’s too much now as I get hot in it. Now I use the lighter one. It makes a difference that my truck is insulated like a home though. Lastly, having an extra pair of inserts can be used just as and for slippers. Some of the stuff you’ve done here I’ve been doing for seven years now. 🙂
I can't believe you camped in that freezing cold! Bless you and protect you!
