Hiking and Camping Death Valley National Park Ep. 1 | Overlanding | Backcountry Roaming
Death Valley National Park is a great escape from Las Vegas. I picked up a rental 4Runner on Outdoorsy.com and headed to the country’s largest national park for some remote camping and hiking.

Is RV "Camping" Really Camping? | Travel Trailers and RVs | Tent Camping
Переглядів 129Рік тому
Is staying in an RV really camping? You’ve got hard walls, doors, windows, electricity, AC/Heat, plumbing, plumbing, a toilet, shower, stove, fridge, and most of the modern comforts of home. RVs are certainly cool, and I’m thinking about getting one…but I don’t consider it camping. #camping #RV #tentcamping SUBSCRIBE to this channel for more videos on self-employment, remote work, and adventure...

Nice camping setup. Thanks for your idea's...
I’m actually planning my trip to italy and heard a lot about this hike that it is the most beautiful hike in italy and a MUST if u were visiting, watched videos about it seemed so dangerous and not a fun thing to do not mentioning the wild horses and how unexpected their actions could be,I felt u must really enjoy hiking to plan to go there not just oh it’s beautiful let’s go but nearly every one who vlogged their hike only said amazing things and the only cons was the steep stairs down! so I was telling my self to not judge based on some videos and plan it to see for myself but tuned out every thing i was worried about is true lol. So yeah thank you for your honesty I no longer want to go
My doors don't go down to the floor. They are more like a hatch style, I'm wondering if this would work for me with the weight of the ac unit pushing down on that frame. I'll have to take a closer look and see. I like your idea best.Also did you use one of those U shaped units or just standard window unit?
Thankyou for posting this useful information ❤
How thick is the plywood piece?
Ingenious!
Ridiculous
Great solution!
A RINO mat made for your floor instead of carpet works great.
If i had to take all that stuff i wouldn't even leave my driveway
Looks like way way to much stuff to me but i guess to each his own
Just come home from Amalfi coast. Why is there so many of you Americans there 😄. I guess Italy is your number 1 when visiting Europe
I use the tent ladder to put my soft sided tent away and skip attaching it. Saves a ton of time still takes me 10 minutes. Love my tent, but I get it, they are not for everyone.
You know there is a road down to La Fortuna.
Is the size 4x6 or 6x8?
Can you do a vid on how you hooked up your soloar panel?
I am seriously considering a Venturist but I saw on another UA-cam video that stated the door does not seal well and the aluminum is actually quite flimsy allowing dust and even light to show through. Thoughts? Also, if one looks up Runaway Venturist + issues, there is another article which says that the composite roof on the camper begins to sag and eventually crack! Again, I am not trying to start anything here but I don't want to drop $15k and have this happen. Have you observed anything like this on your rig after the past 2 years? Thanks...
Thanks for sharing your experience. Was behind one of these on the way home from work today and think I see one in the near future
This is a great setup! I love it, and I got to get one!
Nice thanks don’t you wanna Runaway Happy Trails 😊
To hang stuff on the walls permanently get some sheet rock plastic pitchure hangers short ones so they do not go thru to out side ...Get some rubber mats that look like puzzel pieces for the floor it would help keep the floor warmer too and easy to clean come in assorted colors .. Make sure carpet is on the ceiling would help with condesation and you can use velcro on it too hang stuff up ...
Thanks for the review. Mental notes taken: Water is better than gas, AC is not needed unless you live in the desert or the humid south, no to carpet and enclosed cabinetry so you don’t have to look at all your stuff.
My wife and myself burst out laughing when you mentioned the food in Italy and not for the reasons you may think. Our son just recently moved to Naples for work and his assessment of the food and restaurants was almost exactly the same word for word as yours. He will be hiking Sorento tomorrow not sure which trail. I think there will be less crowds due to the weather. BTW we are also from New Orleans and know good food.
My theory on the NOLA salt lovers not knowing good food when it literally hits their tongue is looking better and better
How much does the trailer weigh in total
I can't wait for it to be kayak weather again ❤
Cool video! It's funny I've watched videos just like yours that I just can't get through they are so boring,but yours kept my attention. I'm going in February with my brother and two friends. I've been a number of times,but never off road. We are going to explore off road with big adv bikes.
Yakima Road Shower
Thank you!!!!!
Don't hike in August!!!
Great idea! Thank you so much!
Just the info I needed today. Thanks!
That’s beautiful and awful 😂 luckily, if enough people watch your video, when I go it’ll be quiet 😊
I’ve been going to BBNP for 30 years. Rice Tank has been my campsite dozens of times. It’s so named for Fred Rice, the rancher who settled that area for years. The tank - and why there is still so much greenery - is what he created to water his livestock. It still retains more moisture than the surrounding area.
Great build out but the lack of a max fan from factory is a huge disappointment.
This is hilarious to me. Italian food is objectively top notch. You try to drop that you've been to 30 countries to make yourself sound qualified, but your dropping of NOLA and packaged salami makes it clear what you value: SALT. It's fine if you don't appreciate freshness and prefer heavy seasoning, but its laughable to say Italian food in Italy is a disappointment. Maybe it shows your lack of discernment in picking restaurants, but it probably just reveals your lack of a developed palate
Can't help it. Sure I'm no sophisticated foodie, but just saying. Lamest food and dining experiences I've ever had. Not awful. But about as boring as boring as math class in high school. I'm not sure it's a salt thing. Maybe just more seasoning and life. And I didn't find it all that fresh, fruit selection isn't that great, unlike many other places. I found the restaurants boring too...And no, I have no developed palate or food sophistication. It's not my thing. But still, in so many places I've been how can Italy be so boring? Never had a problem picking restaurants anywhere else. Just saying, IMO, the most overrated cuisine and food I've ever experienced. Restaurant wines sucked too. Tasted like MD 20/20, and I couldn't find a decent cab. Guess I'm just not sophisticated enough for Italy. 🤷
Watch out for the frozen fish from China too 😂
Sounds like you took this personally.
Well you are wrong. My son just moved to Naples and his assessment of the food and restaurants was exactly the same as even to the availability of fruit. I think you are projecting and it is your lack of experience with restaurants and a underdeveloped palate on your part. When packaged salami is better than the food offered at a restaurant it is clear the food in area in not top notch. My son was even disappointed in the bread in the area. BTW I am from New Orleans also, I guarantee any local home kitchen cook can out cook what my son has be served while in Italy.
@@jimclark7125 lol really cool that your son moved there. idk what to tell you or your son if he can't find good restaurants and fresh produce. the world disagrees with you both and that's good enough for me
Se vai sull'EVEREST troverai condate interminabili di scalatori.
E immondizia dovunque.
This was great; thanks for the video!
Do you live in New Orleans? I would love to see it in person because I want to buy one. Been looking at UA-cam videos for 3years now. UA-cam videos are not accurate on size of these campers.
Yes! In fact, I will soon be listing for sale. I love this unit and hate to get rid of it.😥 But my kids are growing and I need something a tad bit bigger.
Wow amazing! ..we been looking for a camper that will fit in garage .. under 15k and can sleep 3 with bunks... This is amazing? Any regrets? How much was the camper?
You need to get the trail calles Cai 327a, there are less people
The term you're looking for is "door bolt." A little awning over the AC unit will also keep the sun off the unit, improving its performance on clear days. So it's a dual-purpose solution you're talking about. You could also use some rubber molding to seal the tiny gaps along the seams to keep out the weather. In any case, the composite body means you can just throw down a towel below the opening and live with it. Using the door opening is a genius idea to someone like me, who didn't think of it, already. You know it's genius, when it's so obvious AFTER somebody shows you. I was thinking about using the AC opening that'll come with mine to rig up something similar to what you're doing for a HEATER from October to May or June. Up here in Northern Idaho, there're still a lot of cold, wet nights through May, and only a few days with high 80s or 90s, if any, so AC isn't strictly necessary until June. Regardless, your idea is less invasive. The seals around the AC box will never be better than the original install, especially with a doofus like me tearing things up. I can try a number of different heater setups, and all that I'll be vandalizing is a sheet of plywood!
For me and my wife , we find food is hit and miss. Worse yet , tourists bring a hype to food that , well mentally up their rating of it simply because they expect it to be good , and therefore then believe it is. I've had good food on vacation, and crap , all over. We mostly cook for ourselves when on vacay. My friends deride us for it.
I left big bend a week ago. Wonderful place.
What an alien landscape
Nice video. I am going to Positano next year and can't wait to eat the food I've seen on videos. Hopefully, I won't have the same experience.
I'm probably one of the .08% of people on Earth who wasn't impressed by food in Italy, but I just wasn't.🤷 Maybe I'm just acclimated to the seasoning and kick of New Orleans Italian food, but I found the stuff there to be exceptionally bland and boring.
He said the food wasn't great and showed a bunch of pictures of spaghetti...hard to take it seriously 🤦♂️
@@StevenPearson1981 this right here. guy's palate is severely lacking
This looks great my friend, this whole valley is just breathtaking!
Such a massive, beautiful park. I only had a few days but you really need a week or more to take advantage of all the hikes and see it all.
Great solution but with your type of window, why not use a portable a/c unit ?Could even make a black painted attachment point for the exhaust and it would blen in with window tint. For boondocking, how efficient is this with a generator?
I think a 1,000-Watt generator would be enough to power a 5,000-BTU AC unit, like the one that the Runaway factory installs. You can get a pretty small, pretty quiet generator for $500 or less that'll do that for you, and run all night or all day on not much more than a half-gallon of fuel. Small as these trailers are, you could probably cut that 5,000 BTUs by half, and still keep up pretty easy, especially if you do as I do and park it under a canopy shelter during the summer. I also do it in winter, but I park part-way under instead of all the way under. According to Duck, you can operate a 5,000 BTU AC unit off a 100 amp-hour lithium battery for about 3 hours. A 100 amp-hour lead-acid battery maybe an hour and a half. I'm pretty sure that's continuous operation, which you wouldn't be doing, but it takes a lotta solar, a lotta battery, and a lotta sun. If you're on the desert, a swamp cooler works quite well. Low humidity makes the water want to evaporate more, harnessing the latent heat of vaporization at ambient temperature and pressure. If you're out West, you probably just want a swamp cooler. If you're in the southeast or midwest, you definitely don't want a swamp cooler. You need an actual compressor to force the Gas Laws along. But if it's dry where you're at, a swamp cooler just needs water and enough juice to run a fan, which is WAY less power than an air conditioner. But it does use a lot of water, which may not be good in the desert. If you're a snow bird, you can just follow the temperature gradient north or head to higher elevations. I lived in Gunnison, Colorado for 7 years, and you would never need AC at all n the summer. Runaway caters to the people in their region, and rightly so, and Westerners and Northerners are given a very basic setup they can modify. I think Runaway's stock AC is pretty beefy, so a fool can go out in the sun in 100-degree weather and 95% humidity, and bask in air-conditioned comfort as long as he can keep the power on, even if the windows are open to let out the cigarette smoke. Seems like the majority of Runaway people stick to places where there's shore power. Maybe that's just because campgrounds are the easiest places for folks to congregate, so that's all I see. I see more and more videos of people who camp/live off-grid in them. I went ahead and got the AC with my Venturist. You kinda have to special-order them NOT to put it in. But they've had years of trial-and-error and settled on the cheapest, most bulletproof setup possible. For some reason, I have this inordinate fear of having a window in the front of the trailer. In my mind, it's just too likely to sustain rock damage. I never did a study on the likelihood of rock damage, but I never once considered it an inordinate risk to have a windshield in the front of my truck! Besides, if I were paranoid about rock damage, it'd be easy to put a cowling over the window while driving.
@@harrymills2770 Very informative, lots to think about. Thank you.
After 50 years of camping in just about every way possible, I’ve come to the conclusion it’s not what you camp in, it’s where you camp. Being piled on top of one another in an RV park (for me) is not camping either, regardless of what’s over your head. I’ll take an amenity filled RV in the middle of nowhere any day. The older you get, the more you don’t care as much about needing those comforts
Plus, I forgot to mention, the added comforts of the teardrop has enabled me to camp more, for longer periods, and in bad weather. I still love roughing it in tents and hammocks, but couldn't see myself tent camping twice a month...Honestly I do like both.
Hey, thanks for sharing. So from Nocelle you can actually WALK back to positano?
Yes. It's a long hike down the mountain but easy enough.
2 is 1 and 1 is none.
