    Hi everyone, happy St. Patrick's Day! The Rav4 has finally arrived, of course, I had to camp in it within 24 hours of getting the keys. I am actually packing right now as this video uploads so that we can hit the road for our video filming marathon ASAP.

    It's not a crazy or ambitious video this week, just a basic, ordinary, usual, typical, normal, regular, traditional, standard, common car camping trip, but I'm very excited for the next few weeks of travel and videos. We now have reliable transportation!

Also, you could get a hitch carrier if you didn’t want the extra wind resistance, noise etc. of the roof rack. Don’t drill into the new ride!

      My last vehicule purchase I did the same test of sleeping possibility with the back seats down. And it was well that I did so, as last summer with some work cowlleeges we had a dayhike and then a cookout at the trailhead and somebody cracked out way too much booze (legal or tolerated at some trailhead cookouts-places here in Europe)... having driven alone and nobody else going my way to act as designated dr*** I adapted to the situation and did an SUV sleepout, for which I was ok with what I keep at all times in my SUV and with my day-pack for the day-hike. Tolerance for consuming booze at trailhead cookout does not translate into tolerance for driving 2 hours home all boozzed-upp. So I got to enjoy the view of the trailhead area at dawn and have some of my day-pack emergency coffee and food for breakfast warmed on my pocket-r and titanium 650ml cup--- not bad at all.

    When pouring a rectangular container, carton or can, pour with the opening up, it will avoid the splashing. Since the air coming into the container, that displaces the liquid inside needs a pathway, if the opening is plugged by the liquid coming out, the air forces its way in by making bubbles in the container, causing the liquid to splash out instead of pouring out, in a smooth fashion.

    Hey Steve, just wanted to let you know that Yakima Racks actually makes a system that you can utilize without the mounting points on your car. It is either the baseline or ridgeline system I believe and it’s for cars with naked roofs or flush mounted side rails. I’ve got them on my car and they work great. The towers sit on top of the roof and clamp inside the top of the doorframe and there aren’t any issues closing the door or anything like that.

    Thank you so much for making these videos. They've become almost daily watches for our family. The kids. Love you. I know it's not your intent but your videos have become the best remedy for my kids when they don't feel well and can't fall asleep. We lay in bed together and watch one episode. There's something about your demeanor that just helps them calm down and drift off to sleep. They love your videos. Keep up the great work. Know that you are appreciated.

    Hey Steve! My rav4 also came without roof racks unfortunately. As an alternative, I got a cargo rack that fits into the trailer hitch. It fits 3 large totes or gas cans. I love it! There’s no extra wind resistance so I barely notice it on the cars gas mileage. Good luck!!

    Lots of great places to camp here on the island. Once you get away from the lower island (Nanaimo and southeast), the sky is the limit for places to camp.
    You do have to watch the logging roads as the potholes are deep, trucks flying down them from dawn to dusk and Mosaic has a habit of locking the entrance gates from time to time on their active roads.

    Nice wheels! My father has a 2021 rav4 hybrid. Phenomenal car, you made a wonderful decision on that one.
    Edit: if you take the car to a reputable collision repair shop, they would be able to source the parts and correctly install your roof rack rails without problem. I've worked in the industry quite a bit, and I don't think you will have too much trouble finding someone to do it.

    The seats in the rav4 don’t lay flat. There is a 6-7” difference from cargo area to top of back seats. I built plywood carpeted platform to make it level. A must for anyone with back issues.

    Steve, I actually bought a Motor Cycle Pull Behind Trailer to fit all of my 'glamping' gear into and since you have a trailer hitch - I'd say you're good to go. Definitely investigate the pull behind trailers for Motor Cycles - they're small (but hold a lot of gear) and they don't cost a fortune.
    A lot of people don't think of these wonderful trailers because they're always imagining the big 6 foot by 4 foot wide square type things - so, do a search on the pull behind trailers - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
    One note however, is that the trailer may not necessarily be suitable for your stealth camping excursions...

    One of the reasons I built my Explorer (years ago) was because if you fold the rear seats down a twin air mattress will fit in the back. I used to go on some pretty serious mountain trails and it made it a lot simpler to be able to camp out of the back. I want a roof top tent for it now, as I carry a full size spare (35" tire) in the back now. If and when I can start camping/Bushcrafting (my health limits me now and I do have the mountain property to camp, a lot), you can bet I will have one (by the way the BFG AT's are a great tire. The work great in the snow/ice, where a lot of other tires fail ( I run a set of 35's on my Explorer). Keep up the great video's. i cant get out, but I can watch your vid's and it helps.
