You are still my eyes for what I cannot see in person. I remember when you only had a few subs and you keep growing. Keep up the great work. Your photography is second to non. Thank you for what you do.
The shell is a great addition. Definitely opens you up to more terrain to explore. Beware that they are not very well sealed and you will get a lot of dust inside from dirt roads. Keep on truckin!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Robert is not kidding about the dust. I am trying to figure out how to seal our camper bed after bringing pounds of dust back to Oregon from Utah and Nevada. Good luck with your set up, though. You'll love it.
Dust is best when learned to live with. I blow it out with a air hose when I get near a shop compressor. Trying to wipe or "dust" only chases it into cracks and crevices. Trying to stop it from getting in might minimize it, at least it prolongs the eventual deep clean.
Adding the shell to your truck is a great idea. I set my truck (2002 Chevy) with a shell by A.R.E. I bought an oversized cot(I am 6-7 tall) and added an air mattress and 2 moving pads for a comfortable bed. Only inflate the air mattress about 1/2 to 2/3rds full. If you fill it all the way at sea level and then go way up high it potentially pop on you. You can then store items in plastic bins that slide under the cot. Place the cot as far to the left or right and you will have a crawl space wide enough to have space for a small ice chest or other equipment. If you have sliding windows you could even heat up something to eat.
Truck cap is perfect and makes full use of the vehicle. Great idea!! You are such a positive happy (free) spirit. The world needs more people like you.
Love the videos. That setup looks cozy. This body of mine is too broken to try laying on hard ground all night. Thank you for letting some of us live vicariously through your videos
I think this was brillant to add. Two things I saw from other utube channels with caps on their trucks I think you might be interested in. First, a Michigan lady, showed how she insulated, the top and sides to keep it warmer in winter. She added several rugs to the floor to insulate that. Then she slept in it on a raised platform/couch at -10 degrees. She carries a sawdust toilet with lid that she doubles as a seat. She added low watt string lights across the top of the cap that run off the power supply. Second, this guy from the Carolina's made a tarp extention with telescoping poles that allows you to cover over the backend of the cap and sides with a tarp. It sits just above the roof a few feet back and extends out beyond the back end so when it rains you have a shelter with sides that extends 5 feet beyond the back of the truck. You can leave your top and tailgate open. He had a power supply, too and had a little one burner hot plate to cook on the tailgate. He sat on a lawn chair during a rain and didn't get wet. Also you aren't getting water in the bed everytime you open the back end to get in. You need some tie downs for wind but it was a genius idea. At night you can still close and lock the backend because the tarp doesn't interfere with the operation.

Dear Cat 🫶😊🍀 thumbs up for Chevy 2.0🤩 the truck has won with the upgrade! 👍 Dear greetings from you big Fan Couple of Berlin Germany 🇩🇪 Nicole and Hardy😘
I think you have made nothing but wise decisions all through your adventures right from the start. Who ever you used to work for probably misses you a lot. Your organizational skills are top notch.
I really appreciate the positive reinforcement. I was very nervous about how switching to the trailer from the truck camper would be received. Ultimately, I need to do what is best for my quality of life out here. Thank you!!
A wise decision to widen your possibilities. Yes, we agree. Loved that jutting pinnacle peak, the colorful river rocks, and the little rainbows! Thank You 😊
What a great area to spend ten relaxing days. National park quality scenery without the crowds. The truck cap was a great idea. You really know what your doing. You're living a great life.
Cat, love the truck cap, overlander truck idea! Now you can set up a great base camp with the travel trailer and branch out from there with endless off-road and remote hiking/sightseeing opportunities! Great thinking and why not utilize the equipment you already have! You’ll now be set up for any terrain and situations you may encounter. Keep living the dream and thanks again for another awesome video! God bless…
We camp with our TT and our truck has a cap. Personally, I would not give up the space in the bed on adding a bed and other build outs. Consider just getting a good tent and the necessities for light tent camping. Enjoy the good life , kiddo. It is obvious that you love your current lifestyle.
Couldn't you just sit by those rivers forever? So gorgeous. I am thrilled you got to spend your 10 days there as I did last year, I could not take my eyes off the scenery and cant wait to get back. This week again I live vicariously through you as I am down with COVID. You made the best choice Catherine with a small trailer. I have a 17 foot Sonic towed by my 4Runner, and I can get practically anywhere. Now with your super cute matching truck cap, you are going to be able to really get up those forest service roads. Its the perfect combo, a little trailer that lives big as a home and base camp, with the ability to take off in your truck for a few days whats not to love? Glad you got to the other side of the lake to hike as well. And you will be good with your Ankers too thats plenty of power for truck camping. Thank you for another great vid I so appreciate that:) Safe travels Catherine!
Love your cap for your truck . . . along with loving your adventure with the water taxi! You are absolutely spot on with how beautiful this camping experience is for you! Thank you for your expert capture, editing, music and sharing it with us. I love the fact that your power management is working with your AC. Super clean and mind blowing at the same time for your comfort. I was late watching your channel this week as I was in Vail capturing a destination wedding with both stills and video. It was an awesome side gig with one of the most loving families I have ever met. Coming home to your channel made my day today. Love to you Cat!
Good morning Cat! With a cold cappuccinio (We're supposed to hit 105F (40C) today...!), this awesome video makes an excellent chaser. Catherine, you keep outdoing yourself with the videography. Do you even have an "upper limit" on your artistry? I think you're really going to like the lower profile of the shell, as opposed to higher center of gravity you had with the camper. One suggestion I have is to get a couple of tubes of RTV sealant. Go through the shell and use that to seal the joints. Allow time for it to cure, not just dry. RTV is available in clear and black. I use clear because there is something in the black RTV that lets it conduct at RF frequencies. And, I swear by it for sealing antenna connectors. One hint: When you buy the RTV, make sure you either have nail polish on-hand, or buy some. RTV can be nasty to get on your fingers. Nail polish remover makes it easy to get off. (Nail polish remover also works great at removing "Krazy Glue" or other ACC-based adhesives.) As for camper vs trailer? I can think of only one place in my travels where the trailer could be a problem: Westgard Pass. (Yes, it's one of my favorite drives. I always take the time to stop at Lida Peak.) Idaho makes a nice lead-in to Montana or Wyoming, if you're heading east. If you're heading into Montana and haven't tried huckleberry ice cream yet, please consider that a must-do! I've mosly taken back roads in Montana. At a ""mom & pop" convenience store in a little town, I got some truly homemade huckleberry ice cream. One of the best parts of that trip. Don't worry about the calories! Some things in life are worth it! May Almighty God continue to Bless, Guard, Protect, and Guide you onto even greater adventures. 73...
Absolutely nice...flexibility in having a cap on your truck...opens up base camp and exploring...cap colorbis close enough...go with it...Great vids/scenery...love it...
I think the cap is a great addition. Even if you don't use it for camping it secures a dry safe place for anything you want. Just love your photography.
Excited for your new adventures. Bed cap is a good addition. Last week you got back to the amazing photography and music. That’s what drew my girlfriend and I Into watch your channel every Sunday morning. We have coffee and watch Catherine. The two of us live in Utah and we go on our weekend adventures. Sometimes when we get to a amazing place, with a view the is so beautiful. We say eat your heart out Catherine🙂✨ just because we would like to share it with you… thanks for all the Sunday mornings having a coffee and enjoying your experiences.
The camper shell is the perfect answer. Storage and mobile shelter! What a gorgeous spot you found! The old truck camper looked cute and cozy, but I’m sure in reality it was cramped. Your new rig looks spacious and very comfortable. Love that view from your “DiningRoom”. Be safe and stay well! PS , those pancakes could have used some blueberries!😋😘
Congratulations on your new shell! Every truck I've ever owned, I've always put a shell on it - for camping, storage, item security, etc. You'll love it!
camper shells are great! even bed cover, a tonneau cover provides a lot more storage with no loss of visibility but a shell provides even more storage and opportunity for large gear out of the elements of the weather! so 👍🏼 great!
Talk about a breath of fresh air on that River in beautiful Idaho, Breezy or not it looked magnificent Catherine. As always I look forward to my Sunday mornings with you ! There's a tremendous amount of information on UA-cam camper cap build-outs
I like the camper. I use a low profile cot and a high quality thick air mattress in multiple vehicles. With this set up you don’t need a permanent sleeping set up and your bedding doesn’t get all dirty.
My wife and I enjoy your videos. You’re a great photographer. Watch you on tv and it’s hard to make a comment. Really like what you’ve done with the truck. That will give you the optimal use of both camper and truck and cover. You’re a smart lady! Thanks for videos!,
Incredibly beautiful. The Rivers, the greenery, the rocks, the scenery is incredible. Your narration is always wonderful. And that Camera WOW, the colors ... Thank you for taking us on your adventures. Always will be a Patreon . Your channel should be on some list like "The Best Of UA-cam" if there is such a thing . Until Next week. Peace ...
The camper shell was a great idea..........opens up endless possibilities.

You can get a weatherstripping kit for the tailgate that will significantly cut down on the amount of dust. Picture the inside of a vacuum cleaner.

Truly amazing Catherine and your shell is pretty badass on your truck
Gm cat, thanks for taking us along 😀we luv the camper, wow..luv scenery as well 😀, be careful...
That water fall scene…I would have set my hammock up and stayed there for a while! It’s too beautiful!

Shell is DYNAMITE! GREAT IDEA!
Camper shell is an excellent idea, look at the room you have now

Great rig! Not sure how you do it alone. Not so much about the possible dangers, but those times by the fire alone.
Yes to the camper shell. 👍👍👍👍👍
As always.... outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
Just wow..your style of videos are fantastic..like a good book
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful! Fantastic photography too! Thank you.

Exactly. I was hoping she was going to do this. With the amount of exploring and fun out of the way places she goes, this is a great idea.
We camp with our TT and our truck has a cap. Personally, I would not give up the space in the bed on adding a bed and other build outs. Consider just getting a good tent and the necessities for light tent camping.
Enjoy the good life , kiddo. It is obvious that you love your current lifestyle.
Great job on the videography, editing and the music.
Love the camper shell, always loved that truck!
I'm a big fan of the shell. It's how I camp. I can go almost anywhere. Now you can too. Loved this beautiful campsite.
Love the shell. It gives you more opportunities to explore. Livin the dream Cat, livin the dream🙂
Camper shell is a great idea. It will allow you to use your trailer as a home base and take the truck to new and exciting places.
💖 that trail.. jump off point to many a backpack and climbing adventures over the years...
your videos are like apart of my sunday routine every morning ☀️🤍

Love your truck modifications. Can’t wait to enjoy more vlogs from the beautiful area you are currently staying. Blessings!!!
I think the camper shell is a great addition to your truck!
Great idea with the cap on the truck bed. Best of both worlds. Stay safe!
The shell is a great addition!! Good deterrent for opportunistic thieves
Have a wonderful day 😊
The shell will work. It will make storage much easier.

Your photography blows me away. Being a flyfisher, I'll have to visit the area, especially the creeks. Another must go to area!
I like the camper. I use a low profile cot and a high quality thick air mattress in multiple vehicles. With this set up you don’t need a permanent sleeping set up and your bedding doesn’t get all dirty.

Love the camper shell. You’ve just doubled your options! Can’t wait to see more.
I love those sausages grilled! Great video! Beautiful scenery, I love the Sawtooth area.
Excellent idea adding the shell. It provides more sleeping/storage options.
