This was definitely a struggle video. I laughed my ass off. The wind blowing your bun off, the camera shaking, the light falling over, almost tripping over the fire stoker, spilling your beer. You were for sure out of your element. Oh God, it was all so good. 🤣We luv you CQ. LOL!
Im loving this! Truck, wind mishaps, delicious burger and 5 sec rule! 😂😂 You need to bring your step to get in truck dude. So awesome love that you try cool stuff! Keep rocking and loving our Quady vids😊 ✌️
First time I’ve seen you discombobulated. lol. The pop up was nice, but seemed like a lot of extra work. For who you are and what you do, I think your truck is a lot better fit. I still enjoyed the video. Something about you reminds me of my oldest grandson! He turned 39 on the day of the eclipse. He lives in Iowa. Maybe that’s what it is. Iowa, Nebraska, y’all are all the same to me. Your videos just make my day!😊. I look forward to them!
Yet another fun camp outing, you are right about the comfort you have with your truck compared to this one. You looked uncomfortable. But thanks for taking us along!!!😁❤
The ‘Overlaning’ lifestyle is how I envision Inspector Gadget would go camping. It makes sense that it began in Australia because one of these rigs would fit perfectly into a Mad Max film. Thank you Quady for sharing your experience. Oh, I’m pretty sure the pump deflates too.
I have not seen a rooftop tent that you can enter from the inside-I kept thinking where is the ladder.... That was nice of them to let you try it, and now you know what it's like. I give you a lot of credit for starting that meal at 11:00 PM! I sure would not feel like eating zt that time, but the burger looked great!
ThNks for the new and neat content- enjoyed seeing a different mode of camping. Also liked seeing how you coped with the wind, flying buns and cameras-- you handled it very well. Best wishes and safe travels.
Another advantage to the side panels is that you can attach a molle panel behind each to hang molle bags on to organize some of the smaller stuff. Or panels like the ones at the front end of the truck bed. Nice rig. Glad you got a chance to experience it, and had some nice weather to camp in to boot!
I don’t think I’d want a tent like that. Seems like it wouldn’t be great in wind and rain. And the crawling up and down doesn’t sound like fun either. But to each his own! Good on you for giving it a try and for helping local business owners.
I do understand, that is a big difference between your rig and that one. I had a frontier for a company truck. They are way smaller than a F150!! You lived it now. You don’t have to go back!! Lol. Have a great week.
I like the setup Brian Waters has on his truck it’s pretty sweet! Seems way less complicated, has the extra storage in the bed with the rails and and the mattress pad doesn’t seem to need to deflate each time.
I could see benefit in having your regular bed build and then having a popup shell like this just for the standing height - ditch the upper bed setup or only use it as a guest room. Otherwise, I do see this as a decent option for those who have a shorter bed length, but I definitely like my 6.5ft.
I love my Dometic CFX3 35, that paired with my Jackery 1000 works perfect. The plus side to using the Jackery is i can use it for other things and its not just dedicated to my truck and i don't need to run extra wires and have an invertor and fixed solar panels. Love the channel Mike, stay safe Brother 👊
McFly........was all that came to mind. Dang o dang. Its been windy as hell here too its gas eating wind for sure. I love your rig but that was cool too.
I used to camp with a sleeper also but switched to one of these types of campers (Harker) on my truck and absolutely love it. In my mind, the ability to stand & walk around during long stormy days/evenings out weights all of the negative aspects. My bed frame is longer than the version you used, and my standing area incorporates the tailgate space (which makes a huge difference). I agree in that tent material is the worst aspect of sleeping, but then again that's what I have been accustomed too for all of my camping life. Love your video's.... keep them coming!
I would agree with you on all your points. I think this type of setup would be better long term or living in full-time just because of the space. I would also think this would be better for a couple as opposed to solo camping.
I’m a truck driver. I’m local but I talk to some of the over the road guys. They said there are times it can rain and rain. They said a pee bottle comes in handy if you are neat with it. That tent totally favors a pee bottle lol. I loved the video. I’m curious about the pop up tent. Honesty I have never seen one of those. How do they hold up in the rain? It would be a nightmare to sleep in something that leaks and you get soaked and are cold.
Cool way to camp. But, i think in a thunderstorm i would rather be in the back of the truck than in the tent. lol Could you have brought up those white plates you moved and put them back where they were while you were up top? Make sure your pillow doesn't fall down(just in case) and could have maybe put your camera on them? Just a thought. Fun to see a different way to camp. have a great week ahead!
If you freeze water in a jug (gallon or half gallon) & put it in your ice chest before you add ice, the ice will keep for several days. An added bonus is the thawed water can be drunk or used for cooking. If you don't have room for that, put a few plastic bowls filled with water in the freezer, then when they are frozen, turn them out into your ice chest. The larger the blocks of ice, the longer your crushed ice will last.
Yep the days are getting warm and nights a little cooler. That's really neat but it seems like to much work to do all that.I think yours is easier.. Ur meal was funny talking with the camera off was hilarious 😂😆
For sure, using a new set up is a challenge!! Thanks for experimenting with us! The unit is a great option. Good job mb managing the many differences. 😊
Awesome video camp/review, I've camped in my Tacoma with my truckshell setup probably around 150 times in the last two and a half years and honestly I sleep better in the back of my truck then I do at home!!! Thanks for the honest review, I see alot of those type tents around and have thought about getting one. But you nailed it; "It's just a tent". Thanks again!!
I love this spot and hope you come back. I liked this rig because you can stand up. You are just really used to your truck and setup. If you tricked it out with all your gadgets and stuff I think you would come to love it. Imagine pushing the bed back, sitting in the back with your chair, and watching TV during winter or the rainy season. Lots of headroom. Thanks
I am so set in my ways when it comes to camping. I hate change…LOL. First, I was afraid your grate and burgers were going to fall in the fire. When you went to fix your camera I was waiting for your bun to go flying out of the picture again. I hate wind. Call me the paranoid camper! I love my A-Frame camper, but I will tent camp with my Coleman Instant tent in a pinch. I also love my Jackery 500 and 2000. I am binge watching your videos. Old Lady ReRe thanks you!
Do not switch bro! Stay with the OG Reggie bruh!! Big dawg CQ !! I’m just a OG FAN been following since you started ! Love your content and love you CQ!!
Hey Quady nice to see you n a different rig. You tuber “softroadingthewest” Donald has a similar setup but down below he built a bench it bed as well so no matter what setup he needed he was cover. He also on the other side built a kitchen n he accessed it from the outside door. And he has a 270 awning as well. Pretty sweet rig!
Great video on that truck set up! I agree with you with the simplicity of your Ford. I think solar panels, battery operated coolers takes away from being one with nature! Lol!
When it is really windy outside your tripod has a hook on it to weight it down with something that is to 10 to 15 lbs to keep it from falling over. Next times it is really windy tie a rock or brick to the tripod then you will not have any problems. Cool video nice to see a popup tent.
Waaaaay too much trouble setting up and tearing down and screw that crawling up and down, I'm too old for all that. Thanks for doing this, it was educational for sure.
Very cool setup. I definitely like the simplicity of your rig though because as soon as you park you’re basically setup. If you need to leave in a hurry, you just go. I wake up as soon as the sun hits a tent so I wouldn’t like that either
I loved seeing you out of your comfort zone! This video was really good! I enjoyed seeing the different rig and how you adjusted to it! Thanks for the content Mike!
Thanks for the new content, I always wanted to see what these look like inside. I must say I agree with you it's just not my favorite, I prefer the van life
Good video Mike!! Cool rig, but i still like how simple your rig set up is. I'd need space for myself, and my girl. This camper rig would be awesome. For solo camping, yours is perfect.
Hey Mike, great video! That's so cool your friend let you take his truck and try out the tent!! Honestly I think that would be an awesome setup for a couple of people camping but for just one I like the simplicity of your setup in your truck. Basically the tent is just a bigger bed. The food looked good🍔 Loved the spot by the water pretty area. Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers 🍻
Shid If I Been Sleeping Outside For 6 years and it rains every once in A while and snows in the winter A Pop-up tent is My Best Friend!!1 Cause It only takes 3 seconds to install vs a regular tent that takes a least 10 to 15 minutes!!! So I'm definitely a pop up tent kinda guy!
Hi, im so glad to see u cookin on fire again. It seems like you r back to havin fun in the last 2 videos! Before you seemed to lack your usual sense of humor. Beg changes take time to get used too. Anyways enjoy and thanks for videos😊
Awesome as always, Mike. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures with us. I'm with you on the tent, once I get used to the hard sides, forget the tent, lol. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU.
This is splendid adventure.🏕️ I appreciate that you can show beautiful nature.✨ This video became the good hint.☺️ I want to do camping like you, too.🇯🇵⛺️🔥
Next use try putting the light inthe mesh pockets at the top. If he says you can, if not pooy. That tent is awesome, lo9ks great for emergency break down too, if it would be awhile till help came! All dogs sound like amazing people! Awesome video! Hope you can borrow the tent again, also hope your truck is ok if you needed to leave it with them. Also say hello to lady/mrs quady for me! Please and thank you 🎉
I watch Brian Waters also and as you probably know he has went to a roof mounted tent also. The one you were in is maybe better because you could also go down in the bed of the truck if you needed to cook inside like on a hot plate or fix something to eat with a jetboil. Brian pretty much is limited to cooking outside now. Personally I believe I like your hard shell camper top better. Remember your last episode with the lightning and heavy rain. I would much rather be in your topper than the tent setup. That wind was determined to spoil your supper, lol. Enjoyed the video but like you said it’s different. I would say keep what you have! Happy Travels to you!
