Starting off a whole new camping season. Sleeping in the Napier Backroadz truck tent. Firing up the Dietz lantern. Coffee made on the Coleman 508 Stove. Breakfast with my brother. It's a great start to the camping season.

Rocket Stove Pellet Heater. Install And Test
Good work! I've been wondering how easy that tank sealant was to use. My hurricane lanterns really paid off during the 8 days I was without power post-Helene and I'm always looking to get more of them. I prefer the old ones that have a bit of "patina", so knowing that POR15 is okay is certainly good news. For peace of mind, I like buying new Feuerhand lanterns since they are the only one left in western civilization and you know that the quality control will be there. Buying new isn't nearly as fun as buying something that's been around for awhile, though!
Between the JB Weld and the POR15, it doesn't leak a drop. I agree about the Feuerhand lantern. I want to get one myself.
Average Camper, you are getting great with your editing. This video literally had everything in it. From chainsaws cutting to a chili that made me hungry at 10 pm. Keep up the good work. Can we get an video about how to make one of those rocket stoves?
Thank you for the nice comment. I may have a a rocket stove video coming up, if i can find the time.
I started watching your video without changing my "watch speed" back to normal...it was at half speed for watching a sports play. I thought, this camper guy must be from deeper in the South than I am, because he has the ultimate, slowest, Southern accent ever!!! Then I adjusted the speed...and you are normal! Thanks for the video, and the laugh. I am going out to use my new chainsaw!
That's funny. Thank you for the story. I'm using this saw on camping trips, and I'm not disappointed.
Your wife is awesome! 🎉😂😊
yeah, I'm trying to get her to go camping with me. Maybe in the fall.
El Jefe! Great camping video! I like that lantern setup!
Thanks, I really like that beat up old lantern
Nice to see the old Dietz lamp make an appearance
Yeah, I really like that old beat up lantern.
This is why i chose the Chiefs....
Always a good time at Arrowhead Stadium.
Hey how’s is it holding up any problems with chain popping off
Works great straight out of the box. I haven't tried to adjust the chain or sharpen it yet. But no problems so far. I need to take out a tree, I thought about another video to see what can be done on 1 battery.
Nice spot well secluded. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I've been learning how to "restore" cast iron pans recently myself. I've ordered a few antique ones from ebay that said they were restored, cleaned and seasoned, but when they got to me the cooking surface still had rough spots on it from old seasoning or cooking. After watching a few dozen videos I took the plunge and took out my electric sander with 80 grit paper and smoothed it out to mostly bare metal. But it was smooth. I cleaned it again and used canola oil at 450 in the oven and it works great. As others may have mentioned here, heat and oil are your friends in cast iron. I thin coat the whole cooking surface with oil, be it olive or canola before I drop my eggs or meat in there. Not deep fried, but I get no sticking doing it that way. The only sticking I get is carmelization from sauces, sugar or burned juice from the meat, but it comes right off in really hot water and a wipe. Not too different from teflon. Eventually I'll use less oil as it gets more seasoned on the fly but it's kinda fun restoring old pans.
The more I use cast iron, the more I like it. I use cast Iron at home almost exclusively now.
I'll ask how you found the owner, to secure permission to camp? This will be useful for the Traveler, who needs to stop for the night, along the road. Please advise if you would? Excellent pack, by the way
I didn't track down the owner to get permission to camp. I already knew her.
No fire ring fire pot?
No. I don't own a fire ring or a portable fire pit.
I will say your pack is awesome looking set up.
Thank you very much.
Yeah it's like my Bauer chainsaw and pole saw . I already had the batteries and charger. Plus bought more batteries and chargers and got both free.
I'm trying to convert all of my power tools to Craftsman v20 to simplify the battery charging. That makes this chainsaw a good fit. I was, however, very impressed with the performance of the saw itself.
@@averagecamper695 I’m doing the same. I bought the big set of tools (drills, saws, light, etc.) and was so impressed I’ve now bought the weed eater (works great) and looking to grab one of these saws after seeing your demo. Thanks for the video!
@@averagecamper695 I did...and I am glad I did!
50 of 74 years a hobo. Tho with permission this is pretty much how you stealth camp. It's not about splitting hairs but how to. Did this sort of thing for decades until my health prevented me from riding the rails. Good show.
Thank you. I appreciate the comment.
9:13 I think you did pretty good at setting it up
Thank you
Great first time stealth camp. I have that same tarp but it’s the dark green one, I love it! I like that little twig stove too. Might have to get me one. Thanks for sharing your adventure 😊
Thank you for watching, I hope you make more videos with Raider
@@averagecamper695 lol, you know I’ve been thinking about it and I might just do that. Thank you!
Not a stealth camp. Try again.
I get where you are coming from. I'm reading your comments and replies, and I will consider your opinions in the future when I title a video. Thank you for taking time to discuss this. I appreciate your comments, even if they are somewhat negative.
When you go camping anywhere and nobody detects you were even there, I’d say it was stealth camping. That’s what it’s about
Oh, I want to add that it was a ‘successful’ stealth camp. Now, if you get caught doing that, well it’s STILL stealth camping but the difference is you got busted doing so. Don’t listen to the haters, they’re just jealous
That was as much a stealth camp as any I've ever seen.. enjoyed the video.
@angelula Jealous of what? I've camped out 4 times overtly this season and once covertly. Not jealousy, proper terminology.
Good camp! I was worried for you until you said you had permission. It’s been my experience people that put those signs out are either hiding something you don’t want to stumble upon or at their whit ends with people coming onto their property and can be dangerous. Haha. Looking forward to more.
People put those signs up so as to not be responsible for the idiots who trespass on their land. Not to hide things. Sound like you need to get some more "experience".
I wouldn't camp private property without permission. But I didn't want anyone to see me and call the police. I think it qualifies as a stealth camp. Looks like some people disagree.
@@averagecamper695 A stealth camp is by most acceptable definitions camping in a non permissive environment. What you're doing is just camping which is still cool.
not really stealth camping if She gave you permission , I slept in my backyard when I was 10 , if a bear made it to my suburb past my dog !! lol wow how awesome would that Be? hahahAA
I was trying to camp without being noticed by anyone in the neighborhood. I didn't want someone to see me and call the police. Or worse, grab a flashlight and check things out for themselves. Camping without anyone knowing you are there, seems stealthy to me.
A bear would scare the crap out of me.
You can always say you didn't see the posting. I was charged twice whatever! No harm No foul. Americans are way over the top tenting for night on wilderness land. Not so much in Spain at least
Thank you for the comment.
Good job man! They now get easier. 1st one I did when I was 8 I'm now 64😂
When I was a kid, my friends and I spent a fair amount of time in the woods. We didn't care who seen us, we didn't know who owned the property.
Great camping! Thats how to do it!
Thank you.
There is a wrench, Screw Driver Combo tool. It was tucked into the saw itself, on the under side. 😬
I just found it today after owning it for over 6 months lol. I also don’t own many power tools so it’s a great surprise. It works really well.
We have never been to Aruba. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Maybe one day we'll get there! 😁 Oh I see my favourite Cruise line Norwegian! Ahhh so nice!
Aruba was one of my favorite vacations of all time. Thank you for the comment.
Hello there! New subscribers from Northern Ontario! I love camping trips! We just had an amazing camping and roadtrip on the East coast. Check it out if you like. Looking forward to seeing more content from you! ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇲
Thank you for the sub, I found your channel and subscribed as well. looking forward to checking out your adventures.
Nice time, got me interested back in camping.i have a shell on my truck ,and have gear scadderd around . But plan on getting back into it ,your vedio helps me get into the mood, thanks.
I hope you get back to camping. And, my gear is completely disorganized right now. lol. Thank you for the comment.
I don't own a vehicle now and live in a big city. Video's like this helps me engoy the outdoors vicariously. Thanks for the video sir.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Comments like this help keep me motivated to get out and make videos. Thank you
Nice, what kind of Coelman burner is that? Looks very old school bc of the pump, like the pump you had to do with the older 2 burner stoves.
Its a 508. I bought it in California when I was at Fort Ord. About 1989 or 1990. I've been told it's kind of rare.
U gained another subscriber. I can't wait for the next video
Thank you. I hope you enjoy my channel. I just subbed your channel as well. I'll try to get you some likes and comments and watch time.
@@averagecamper695 awesome thank you so much. I really appreciate it
That meal looks good. I gotta say I enjoy filming for my channel as well
It was pretty good, considering who the cook was. I had leftovers for 2 days.
Looks very good.👍
Thank you
Cool video
Thank you. I'm still working on a location for a "Tarp Tent" kind of thing.
enjoyed. nice outing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
The circular shape of the bail handle and the stepped font tank probably puts it in the 1940's. I used to know the traits of every D-Lite from 1913 to 1957. The date and where it was made is stamped on the air tube about half way up from the lift lever side. Sometimes it takes a strong magnifying glass out in the sunlight to see the numbers. It might say S-3-45 for Syracuse March 1945. It's nice to see it running again. Good job!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I just lit this thing up for the first time while camping. I'm not sure why, but this is one of my favorite pieces of gear.
Why didn’t you just back the truck up to where you wanted the wood? Lol
It was pretty close. Close enough to just chuck it into a pile. I think I walked a few pieces over and placed them on the pile.
Might be the camera angle. It looks like you pick a spot that is not level at all. Just curious……seems like it would be very uncomfortable and impossible to sleep. But I wonder if it is camera angle.
You're right , its a bit of a hill. I always sleep with my head elevated at this spot. Seems ok to me. I don't think I could sleep the other way , with my head down. I love this spot, though. Surrounded by woods and very quiet. I can't wait to get back out there.
Keep em coming!! Great job
I'll be back out there camping in the spring. Thank you for the encouragement.
I just did the same thing. Can I use steel wool? So far I just rinsed it and went over it with crisco a couple times. No oven yet
Sorry I completely missed this comment. But yeah, you could even it out with stool wool and then try to season the bottom of the skillet on a cooktop. Best thing for a cast iron skillet is to cook with it.
Just extra flavor on that last one 😆
It was fun to give Brian a little crap about it.
Sticking because it was not pre-heated enough
Yeah, I've been told that a few times. I'm getting better at using cast iron on a campfire. Thank you for the comment.
Making more videos is never the wrong thing. What do you have a degree of expertise in? Disney is a bad subject to one side of the tribe. What is interesting to you. Do not preach, Do not offend, Good luck.
Sounds like good advice. Thank you for the comment.
Given the success of some of my recent camping videos, I never posted any videos from our Orlando Trip in July. Leave a comment if you would like to see Disney World Vids. Or if you think I should keep them off of my channel.
"Your chairs dry" "yep, my butt dried it out so my butts wet" "oh goody" 😂😂😂 sounds like you two have known each other for quite some time. Idk if it would help but maybe throw some of the spare firewood under the truck on top of a tarp to keep it out of the rain? Thats all I could think of besides putting some wood in the tent with ya.
yeah, Brian and I worked together for a couple of decades. I think in this video I had some wood stashed under the cedar tree. It was somewhat dry in the morning. But we just didn't think we would get as much rain as we got overnight. I really need to pay more attention to the weather report. lol.
Girlfriend just got me a backroadz bedtent for christmas and I'm really looking forward to using it. Its pretty hard to find recent yt vids with the series 19 and I gotta say, the red and grey is gonna look great on my red truck if yours looks like that good on your black one. Watched a couple of your vids with it now and its good to know its decent quality and not money wasted on the tent. Stay safe out there! Not sure where your spot is but seems like arizona fall/early winter weather to me. ✌️
It is a great tent. I hope you get one that fits your truck. I can't wait to get back out in the spring. I'm in the Kansas City Missouri area, so it's cold right now. Thank you for watching.
great video you got a sub from us much love from Baby girl Adventures
Thanks for subbing! I subscribed to your channel also. I'll get you some watch time and some likes. looks like I can't leave comments though. Keep camping guys.
@@averagecamper695 thank you and bless you 🙏
Almost certainly USA made. The bottom number on right hand air tube should be date of manufacture. The other dates a patent dates. I don’t think you overpaid for it. Warning : they’re highly addictive.
Thank you for the info. The last line of numbers says 1 - 4 as far as I can see. I'll spend some more time cleaning it up. maybe the date will become more clear. Thank you for the comment.
Good restore. I used JB on the pot of a perfection heater restore. Looks good.
Thank you
Toilet bowl cleaner will eat the rust and crud out of a tank.
I've heard that from more than 1 person. Is there a specific product that is known to work well? I may check into that, if I ever need to do something like this again. Thank you for watching
My father put in 36 years on the railroad. He retired in 1977. Our basement was full of old kerosene "railroad" lanterns with red,green, "white"(clear) and 2 cobolt blue globes. I wish now, that I still had them. Thanks for saving this one and sharing. 👍😁
It's too bad you don't still have a few of them. Thank you for the comment.
