@brendadg1976 no problem will do,
We go every year. For the last 40 years. They only come to get the food. NEVER leave food or trash or ice chests out when you leave or go to sleep
Is there no bear bins there? We camp a lot in mammoth lakes. With kids so I’m very strict on bear preparedness. Bears have 100 times better smell than humans. We store nothing at all in our tent with scent. Everything goes in the bear bin. Last year a big boy pushed our bear bin over. It took off when I hit the car alarm and hit it with a flash light. Leave nothing out.
@SteelerLos so our understanding was that they had been fed all summer by campers, that the location started to slow down, and that food was not so easy to come by. They were used to people and became bolder when interacting. And yes, we used the bear box, just that stupid idiot that took us kept thowing food all over the campsite. So, it's not the bears fault at all.
@@damco.1970 the camp host are spose to keep bears afraid of humans. Them or the rangers are spose to come back with air pellet riffles and shoot at them. I seen them do it in mammoth lakes. They do that cause Once the bears are no longer afraid of humans they have to destroy them. Crazy incident. 👍🏽
Well, that didn't happen, and we went to discuss this with them, and they didn't care.
@@damco.1970 wow. Crazy. Won’t ever be staying there. Safe travels bro. 💯
Make a video of you using the bag next time you go camping

One quick question do your side view mirrors stick out far enough so you can see straight down the side of the trailer ? Why I am I asking is if you can't see completely down the side I will be harder to back it in any situation even parallel parking it. So if the mirrors don't stick out pick up some extensions mirrors that hook on to your stock mirrors they will make it easier to see which way the trailer is turning. First time is always Stressful when backing and dealing with the other drivers on the road. Practice makes perfect Hombre.
We eventually hit camping world and bought extensions
So what’s up homeboy. Is it better than tent camping? We tent camp and I always say I don’t want to be pulling no trailer and the extra cost on gas. Then all the way there u wondering if u gonna be able to back it up in the spot. Chale, I’ll just pop a tent. 😂👍🏽
On the real, way better than tent camping at my age. You lose gas mileage, but you prepare for this inconvenience. But having your mini home behind you is 👌 perfect. You can cook in peace, sleep soundly, shit, shower, and have all the convinces of home literally in your trailer. We have been extensively looking, and we will end up buying in the new year. It's a lot of work, but as men/kings, we deserve the best. I work 10-12 hours a day and feel like I should have something nice for me and the wife. Thanks for the comment, I like the engagement. This is all new to me.

I have just upgraded to an RV but my favorite was the Nucamp Tab 320S. I have one for sale right now in New Mexico and it's been the best, I can pull it with my SUV. It's just 1,670 pounds. I now have a motorhome, super excited to hit the road.
Well, we chose the coleman rubicon 1700 series. So far, no trips are planned. I have some big obligations to take care of this summer. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Looking forward to seeing your adventures!

Maybe use the phrase “also included” LESS in future videos. Kinda redundant. Also “detrimental” wasn’t the correct word to use. I couldn’t finish watching the video 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for you comment it helps the youtube algorithm.

Why do you feel the need to drive and record yourself? Why can’t you just wait till you’re parked? Fucking crazy.
Nice job! I installed white “Raptor” lights in my 23 TRD grill but router the power wire up through the bottom of the fuse box through the large gaggle of wires on the back left. Easy to do.
I hope you're feeling better that cough can last a long long time. One quick question what route did you take to get to Chilao campground?

Welcome to the club! Taco bout awesome! Check out billsteen 8112s and 8100s! Best performace suspension out there! U can get up to 2" of lift. They pricey tho.... Maganason and harrop makes a supercharger for the 2gr-fks engine.
It's a slow progression and a very expensive hobby. Thank you for the comment..
Love it, this video looks great, food looks awesome and the laundromat looks stellar.

I will plan a trip and try it
Good morning Yolanda, there are so many plant based options in today's world. It makes dieting easier and fun. Thanks for watching. See you on the next adventure.
Nice job on the fix. I myself purchased the wrong size also. I think my fix may be to extend the rails and bring the bed rack closer to the tail gate end of the bed, so it doesn't look so short on the bed. But you know how that goes all looks good on paper till you get into it. Thanks for making the video and ideas on a fix.
Thanks for the comments.
I'm trying to make budget friendly videos related to my tacoma and my free time camping.
Looks good! I just installed the Hooke Road 18" on my Tacoma. Funny, I had the same issue, 2 bends on one of the legs. The bends are identical to yours. I reached out to Hooke Road through Amazon, and Hooke Road gave me a $50 refund, and they said they will send me some replacement screws. Some of them were damaged.
I unfortunately did not reach out to hook road. I just thought I would put out a video and show some of the things that people may encounter. I'm glad I'm not the only one I did tag them in my video and hopes that they would reach out to me so far. No luck
Nice work. Just a small tip... I like to mark the bolts that connect into the bed channel. Its not unusual that they become loose with all of the vibration it will see. It's an easy indicator to notice they are loose when the marks don't line up. I have had bay area metal fab, RCI, Victory offroad all come a bit loose over time.
Thanks for the heads up, I have noticed a few that have backed out.
I wouldn’t pay no more than $15 for this….. you’ve got to be joking
yeah, I agree. This was a 2022-23 Xmas gift from a coworker. I was just as surprised when I started getting into it.
@@damco.1970 great video tho nonetheless 🙏🫡
There is a knife at the end of the spork too
Thanks, I don't think I noticed.
Hi Dam, How would you rate your experience? Was there music on the tour?
Honestly 10 out of 10 music was great. I liked that they provided drinks on the tour that we got. But you can also buy food alcohol sodas this was an amazing experience

Great Review...Thanks For Sharing...
Weight loss challenge! Let's go!
It's been a while since I've camped there but, whenever I did, we always locked our food containers and ice chests in the car and covered them with blankets. If the bears see anything related to food, even seeing them threw the car windows, they will try to get to it. I learned my lesson once because we left our food on the picknick table that was covered with our screen enclosed canopy. We got woke up to the noise or hearing the canopy being collapsed.
Sorry to hear, and I was camping off the 1 PCH, so I couldn't respond as Quickley as I would like. Worst experience of my life. I stopped camping altogether for some time after that. I was traumatized. I just got the courage to go camping this weakened and conquered my fears.
Once you put One Wind cinch buckel straps for 15 bucks on that hammock its awesome. Plus upgrade yer ridgelin frum hanging high hammocks and get a ucr.and there is a killer ridgeline organizer for 8 bucks.boss....love my rog
Thank you, I'm definitely still learning and just having fun. I need to invest in more creature comforts.
I don’t like the tent on top of the mattress, nylon to nylon of the sleeping bag gets uncomfortable for me, I always fit it inside with no problem. There are some add ons I have, a small hammock like that attaches to the cot keeping your clothes off the ground, in case of heavy rain water might run under making your clothes wet. Also there is a long pocket with dividers you can get that again attaches to the front of the cot where I keep a water bottle, phone, keys and toilet paper handy and dry. I love this cot/tent, is very comfortable and pretty roomy for what it is. Is done pretty good in 25+ mph winds too. Nice video and thanks.
I have tried getting the tent and accessories, with no luck. Everything has been out of stock when I've had the money to purchase. I have given up on this great tent for now. Thank you for sharing.
go beach camping instead. squirrels don’t growl like that 😮 yikes !!
I'm up for suggestions. Let me know of a few places.
So, I just ended up at Rincon Beach off the 1 Hwy, and you were right. Beach camping is definitely worth it.
do mountainbikers allowed on the horse trail ? .. ok I guessed I spot some on the video 😂
I saw quite a few bikes on trail. Hope this helps
Bears are so tame from Generations of exposure to people. They have never attacked anyone but the trash cans and places where food is stored.
They aren’t terrorizing you, they just want the food.
I met those same bears a month before you last year. I tried to save our food and he charged right towards me. I’ll be back next month and I’ll let you know how it goes 😅
I'm headed back to Sierra's end of this month. Hoping for a better experience
I started with the 180 and upgraded to the 360+. Both feature rich, amazingly comfortable hammocks for the price.
Thanks for the comment. I just invested in a dream hammock, I'm going to do a head to head budget hammock vs. not so budget hammock.
@@damco.1970 I also own a custom make Walhalla hammock made from Monolite 1.5 but the Ridge is still just as comfortable.
Thanks for the video, guys. It explained exactly what I was wondering about the extended rain fly. Thanks again!
Hey, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to use it this year. 😕 We have multiple trips planned in May. Hopefully, it works out.
Dude: Your car looks nice and clean. I have a vac just like yours on the way from Amazon ($45). I have some nasty work for it right now. Vacuuming up some wet crap that would make a buzzard puke. How does yours work on liquid waste?
Quick tip for the extended rain fly. Find the logo on the tent and the logo on the rain fly, the logos go one on top of the other for the correct orientation of the rain fly.
You guys must've caught that tent on sale, it's currently $94...still seems like a decent price for a tent like this
I have the 2.5 hp 6 gallon has crazy suction power works amazing
Please make another video when/after you camp and let us know how you like it...or not...
I own this xxl cot / vista 1 tent and the vista 2 tent / 2 sports universal cots. Their game changers! Their easy setup and comfort make up for their cost. I still need to buy the elite rain fly for both. Thanks for vid.
Yes! Game changer. I'm a big guy and I fit with room to spare. Thanks for the comment.
I have the same set up. I just want to point out a few things that I noticed in the video. The rain fly that comes with the tent is for when you are setting the tent up on the ground. Because if it rains the rain will collect between the tent and the cot, which is be where your pad will be and become soaking wet. That is why you need/have the extended rain fly. And the extended rain rain fly can be used on the ground by reverse rolling the "extra" length and securing with the loop and barrel buttons. When you set up the tent you should lock the longest legs together and then pull the cord to setup the tent and then lock it. When you are putting the elite rain fly on look for the Teton logo . It lines up with the Teton logo on the tent. I really enjoy this tent. I don't know if I'm right but I put my head on the opposite end of the tent then the way you were. I also have the Zero Degrees XXL sleeping bag which is excellent in the cold weather. I hope that this helps you and others. I really hope that you like this setup. I like how fast you can break camp too
