Cape Lookout - What to expect? 

Few things. Great vid. We take 5 gallon buckets and burry them (deadhead) for tent tie downs. Beach etc for driving. People heading off island have right away, or, northbound. (Elderly taught me that years ago on Hatteras and Fort Fisher.) Ride around people at water, fishing or otherwise. Fill holes. All holes! Whether stuck or otherwise.

As someone that has made this journey I will just say this you better have a truck that’s built correct for off Rodine or you’re screwed on the island you better have a strong tent or place to stay!!!You better bring your water and if you have a cottage you better bring a generator because power is not provided

Good chatting with you briefly yesterday. Looks like you had a blast 😏 on y'alls trip. Best wishes on your channel!

I’m sooooo thankful for this video!! My wife and I are going this April closer to the end of the month and didn’t know what to expect, but watching your video has made a major difference in our plans and how we are going to tackle this awesome vacation/challenge. Thank you so much for posting this video and God Bless you and your family along with your channel.

The wind on that island is no joke. It was windy pretty much the entire @week or more that we were there about 17 yrs ago. My ex and I had an Armadillo tent (family tent made by Walrus - they produced very well made tents for extreme conditions). We did stake down the tent as best we could and brought coolers etc to place at corners to help hold things down. The last day we were there, a big storm was building but we got out before real bad. Tent was billowing around the coolers. Packing up was absolutely nuts and if it were a cheap tent, I'm sure poles would have broken. DO NOT go there with a cheap, shock corded walmart special. After the divorce, my ex borrowed the Armadillo for a return trip and the tent did not survive - really wish I could've gotten it back to replace poles, though. He had to weather a bad storm. He ended up sleeping in his truck with nothing but peanut butter sandwiches to eat because he couldn't get out to cook. Most of what you see on that island are fishermen camping in truck campers. Definitely more sensible than tent camping in those conditions - mainly that if you're gonna be there for a week and there's an exceptionally windy day, you can relax inside, still cook, etc. Best bug prevention on the island: stay in the wind where the bugs can't fly.

And if you’re going to make this trip drive the entire island it is beautiful

It was great meeting you yesterday, Nick. I love this video. It was nice to get a visual on what we were talking about yesterday. i really appreciate you, brother. ONWARD!!!!

The road is bumpy because many people are driving too fast. It happens that way on gravel roads too.

Thanks for the video. Heading down there for the first weekend in May. Watched this to see what it might be like. I've camped many times on the OBX but never the "Crystal Coast" area. Hope the fish are biting when we are there. I know the beers will be good.

If the bugs are "no see'ums" Skin So Soft (that is the lotion you never got the name for) works very good. Having spent a lot of my life on the GA and Florida Panhandle coasts that is what almost everyone uses.

Interesting, your setup looks like mine

I don't know what you're talking about but it was an awesome trip! 😎

MY DAD OWNS PITVIPERS GLAD TO SEE YOU ROCKING THEM!!!!

When I was there everyone had fly swatters in their pockets. Except for me. Lesson learned.

I just watched your video earlier and I was driving around broad creek could have sworn I saw your trailer setup.

Looks beautiful. Planning a trip to NC soon. Ferry is expensive, here in Texas on the coast they are free.😢

Probably over current and the safety measure stopped the battery from charging. My Jackery did the same if I use more than one 100W charging a 300W battery.

Green flies are crazy down there Mexican green flies

I really like the price point of the roof nest awning but I'm wondering if the 40 plus square feet of the large wing is worth the extra $100. It looked to me like the small wing was plenty enough and was lighter too. 40 ft is a lot for only $100 more. Decisions decisions 😒

Thanks for the video. Was there cell service on the island?

thanks for the video, very informative! when do you reckon it would be the best time of the season to go? Kinda worried about the wind and bugs etc.

Look on my channel and see what we did!!! It’s was a amazing trip and the truck did amazing !!!!

We are going there next week. I'll look for your wife's arm and let you know if I find it. Thanks for the video. Gary.

i work in the solar indusry how long is the extension you purchased and any idea what gauge wire it is could be a resistance issue

That doesn’t look like Davis Ferry.

I have one of those clam shelters. You think that would work?
