As you both will know, some YT channels enjoy subscription levels well beyond their channel's content value, while others are under-appreciated and deserve a much larger following. Your channel definitely falls into the latter category, and I'm thankful you continue to devote the time and effort you do. So thank you - again - for covering the practical side of truck camping full-time so well.
Thank you so much! That's a wonderful comment to read, we really appreciate your comments and continued viewership. You made our week with this comment! Sorry it took so long to respond, we have been in no-mans-land for a bit. It's always hard to figure out what video to make, I have lists of ideas. Many times, it just about showing what we do/see. Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks! I'm a details guy, which is sometimes bad for UA-cam, but there are thousands of little details that eventually add up! Thanks for coming along :)
I resonate with all the people writing their "thank you's" to you guys... because I feel the same way! So, at the risk of sounding redundant, in a positive way, thank you for all the detailed and honest content you share!
I get stuck in windstorms all the time. For me the most important thing to do is to park 'into' the wind, i.e. so the RV is facing towards the wind. This resolves most of the wind rock. If i cannot face into it, then i try to park with my backside facing the wind. If i park perpendicular to the wind, it is going to be a very rocky night.
I 100% agree with Jack Tyler, I really appreciate your attention to detail and taking the time to explain how and why things are as they are. Thank you for putting out interesting and quality content Scott and Sasha! I really enjoy this video on getting set up with an approaching storm, you guys work so well as a team and I really like your setup in the truck, very nice. And a huge thanks for the feedback on my electrical system Scott! I think you are both very genuine and personable, adventurer loving, good people, thank you for sharing a portion of your lives.
Thank you very much! Like I said to Jack Tyler, these comments mean the world to us. We do our best to make videos that people will like, but it's usually a gamble. I really enjoy showing the less glamorous side of our life, but that doesn't always get the views and attention that we need to survive on social media. We don't show many of the "bad" days, but adventure and excitement make the cut, its fun to share and people enjoy watching it. I'm always happy to help with projects. We really appreciate you taking the time to comment! 😊
I love the Cirrus but if we order a new one, will definitely not want a stove vent. The overhead vent should be enough. Sasha and you are such troopers to forge through making us this video while you are super tired and hungry. 😀
The stove vents have pros and cons. We use ours daily, especially in cold weather to reduce the loss of heat. I agree that the roof fan works wonders, but, while cooking smelly or greasy foods, we prefer to use the stove vent to keep it contained. We usually have clothes and towels hanging and want to keep them fresh! Making videos can certainly be a lot of work and hassle, especially when we are tired and hungry. But meeting great people like you is exactly why we do it! Thanks for watching 😊
Well, this is my first time watching one of your videos. I do appreciate some of the detail you go into. I am a 68 yr. old home bound woman & I live vicariously thru a bunch of different people on UA-cam. They are either building, home steadying & doing the traveling like you two are. I wish my health were better, or I had thought of doing this when I was way younger. But since that is now not possible, I live thru your adventures. I am going to go thru your different videos & check things out. I am also subscribed & going to be watching for more adventures with you. Thanks muches for sharing...... Jamie & my dog, Paddy in Tennessee
Hi Jamie and welcome to our channel! Scott and I have always wanted to travel and we were encouraged to do it now by so many family members. Traveling full-time can be difficult. We constantly have to think about refilling our camper with water, getting propane and think about dumping our tanks. We have our good days and our bad days, but overall this has been a great experience. Our favorite part of this is to meet incredible people on the road and online. Thank you so much for your kind words, we’re glad you like our videos and we appreciate your support!
We have been lucky so far to not have been in that bad of winds- but it is something you need to plan and think about- especially if going to be driving in high winds! Removing the sticks from the roof is a good call! Tap, tap, tap, tap- insane!! Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
The wind out west is pretty constant. I’m ok driving in winds, but I’ll find a place to park if they start getting too much over 45 mph cross winds. It’s the gusts that you have to watch out for! And yes, tapping noises are so annoying!
Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot to us! I have to hold back on my attention to detail most of the time, it can be boring. But I guess this one worked out!
Today we went to several RV dealers in WI. One dealer once sold Cirrus, but sadly not anymore. So disappointed. So after looking at A, B, C+ and Airstreams; we came home and watched TC videos. You can’t believe how happy we were to see your Cirrus.
That's great to hear! We spent so much time looking for the right rig. Our main focus was mobility, so that ruled out anything big. Good luck with your search!
I always put my jacks down if I’m staying the night just in case the winds picks up at night. The truck swaying always wakes me up. I use a white noise machine to drown out noises while dispersed camping. Like you, I’m a very light sleeper. Lol. Glad you didn’t forget to lock the stove vent prior to sleeping. Lol. Great vid and thanks for sharing!
We put the jacks down only when needed. We have adapted to sleeping in strange environments, but the wind is pretty hard to tolerate. I love having the legs to keep things stable, such a huge difference! The stove vent is a common joke between us, we always forget it, even when we talk about it. We eat dinner and it slips our mind! Thanks for watching!
It's a what a great job you guys, people don't really realize just in just in 20 minutes or so, worth of work how difficult things can be E specially in different kinds of weather. And I know that for certain. Be safe out there guys and keep on trucking.
Thanks. Wind creates some various issues for us. Camper shaking, dust (which limits ventilation), everything rattling and banging, stuff blowing away and the risk of damage. So it’s a lot to think about in a short period of time. Every situation is different, and luckily that was a gentle wind in comparison to other events we’ve encountered.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Our camper is pretty small, but also bigger than some of the other truck campers out there. It is cozy and comfortable!
This channel is about to explode... Your content is excellent and you are both such down-to-earth folks! I'm so glad I discovered y'all. Could you try adding a bit of rubber tape or something to the impact points on that vent flap? It might still blow around in the breeze but something to absorb the impact might eliminate the noise and 1 am trips into the cold!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Sorry for the slow response, we've had a rough time in the last 8 weeks or so. I've thought about springs, rubber feet, elastic bands etc. Unless it's windy, it doesn't cause any issue. We just need to remember to close it when it's windy out. Rubber/foam may soften the noise, but it will still squeek and bang. It would also prevent it from shutting completely. It isn't really a big deal, just a once a month annoyance.
That was a great spot! We try to avoid trees, especially in stormy weather. However, sometimes it just isn't possible. In those situations, I'll evaluate the tress around us looking for dead wood or loose branches. It's always a gamble, but a little observation goes a long way!
GREAT TIPS AND THE FREEDOM TO BE ABLE TO GO AND BOON DOG ANY WERE YOU WHANT IS A BLESSING. OUT OF ALL THE CAMPERS I HAVE SEEN YOU GUYS ARE BY FAR THE BEST LOVED THE WASHINGTON FOREST/MOUNTAIN MY GOD THOSE HIGH ELEVATION SIGHTS WOW! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS TAKE CARE. P.S. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DAN FROM TEXAS.
Thank you so much! We’re happy that you liked our videos and our channel. And yes, Washing is absolutely beautiful! We’re hoping to come back here some time in the summer and enjoy the warm weather.
great Idea for the roof rack, I am going to keep my eye open for something.. I always have trekking poles in the truck, I use one to open and close the range hood hood !! lol I also like the paint pole.
Thanks! I like making videos like this, I have a couple more in the works. Stay tuned and let me know any ideas you have! I'd rather make videos that people are actually looking for rather than guessing 😂
I was shocked at how cool Custer was. As for Needles Highway, we were like 2 inches too tall to attempt it :( I'm jealous of all your motorcycle travels. I used to go out with my Dad a lot, but not for many, many years.
Thank you, that means a lot of us! We never really know how viewers will respond to a video, so comments like yours make it all worthwhile! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
I don't mind gentle rocking, but usually the gusts make the camper sway a little too hard. Sasha and I both have a threshold of when it's too much, it's a fairly democratic process :)
We avoided the bad snow, but did run into some. I have a 3 part series coming soon about our snowy travels. The riding out there is INCREDIBLE, someday I'll have a toy to ride aside from my Mountain Bike.
@@Stonyboot I give u a lot of credit I've followed u a long time. U two are legit. My wife and I are in our truck camper a LOT. Northern Wisconsin here close to lake Superior. Ur always welcome here.
Nope, I just lift the camper enough to take some weight off the truck. The majority of the weight is still on the truck and it doesn't change the tension on the Fast Guns.
Only been watching you recently, and am loving the videos. Question, you have a nice cargo rack on the front yet I've only seen 1 or 2 gal gas tanks on it. What else do you use it for? Fire wood?
It looks like you have same back camera as I do. So I need to know how you mounted it on you dash is it a suction cups or what mine came with two cameras and I got two more free so I can move the screen in side camper and see what’s going 360 degree.
That would be amazing!!!! But sadly it doesn't work that way. Satellite imagery is not real time, it usually months to years old. We do use the satellite images to look for camp spots, obstacles, where to park, etc. but it won't show you anything in real time.
Hi, thanks for sharing good tips and safety ideas. What camera system are you using there ? Looks good. Ones we have and had are not very bright. Thanks
Yes, it's an 11 gallon "honey wagon" or waste transport tank. We've used it a couple times at campgrounds when we didn't have a sewer hookup, only for grey water. We can go 2 weeks on our black tank and never stay any place that long.
Thanks for coming along 😁 We do factor in wind direction, we always try to have the truck facing forward or backward into the wind for the greatest stability. It doesn't always work out that way, and many times the wind comes from all directions. We also try to park near rock outcroppings, but we try to avoid trees. I'd rather be level than have the truck pointed perfectly into the wind, unless we have winds over 50-60 MPH expected, then I'l make sure I have the front of the truck facing into the wind.
Not yet. I did add a fan and some wiring, which I sealed. But I haven't needed to do anything like that yet. I keep a close eye on it. Spring of 2021, we had some warranty work done on the camper. While they were doing it, they resealed the sides. I made a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/s53-OVcNVHA/v-deo.html
Hello! Thanks for the comment :) We do use a cell phone booster, its a weBoost Drive 4G-X. We run is most of the time, but we will shut it off when we have really strong signal in the area. We use it everywhere we go, and it works with all 4g networks, it does not work with 5g.
One of the things I've wondered about the most is how Nomads find these remote BLM spots without road signs. Also, if you know the direction of the winds, do you try to park with the nose of the truck into that general direction to reduce buffeting?
Great questions! We have an article on our site about how we find Boondocking/camping: www.stonyboot.com/2021/06/21/great-boondocking-and-how-to-find-it/ I'll be turning the article into a video soon.

Stop interrupting your wife her when you talk I like hearing your voice seven sounds like you have a Lotta knowledge but let’s have a talk sometime thank you
Hi, this is Sasha and I’m not exactly sure what you mean🧐 Whenever we record ourselves we have a natural flow of speech, and when we edit the video some sections get cut out for various reasons.
As you both will know, some YT channels enjoy subscription levels well beyond their channel's content value, while others are under-appreciated and deserve a much larger following. Your channel definitely falls into the latter category, and I'm thankful you continue to devote the time and effort you do.

Had to laugh at all the little things that can create annoying noise at night. I have same items on my list!😂
There’s a long list! We are enjoying the desert for now. It’s so quiet!
I love 4 low. It's under utilized by a lot of 4x4 owners for sure.

i saw a car burning from parking in the grass its no joke and it had rained the day before so it doesnt need to be superdry period either.
Exactly! These wild fires are no jokes, especially out west. That's why we're extra cautious, when it comes to parking on the grass!

I love the swaying. Also if I have to leave fast I don't put the jacks down.
I don't mind gentle rocking, but usually the gusts make the camper sway a little too hard. Sasha and I both have a threshold of when it's too much, it's a fairly democratic process :)
Very helpful. Thank you both

Thank you! It's nice to hear that :) Let us know if you have any topics you'd like us to cover :)

Thank you 👍
You guys are such light sleepers. We sleep better in our truckcamper if it's swaying and storming outside.lol Thanks for the tips.
We are!😂 We travel full-time and we like staying alert. One time we woke up to a car fire right next to us. Good thing we woke up when we did!
Great life if you want to work hard doing it.
You hit the nail on the head! Lots of work, 7 days per week. But, we have opportunities galore!

I always put my nose in the wind not the side .
We did the same, but the wind changed direction!
Deadwood got 27 inches of snow yesterday hope u guys made it out! Love the black hills, tow my ATV and ride ride ride

Always wondered what that handle was for! Thanks for that pro-tip!! Yeah, not much use for our rear awning with any winds.
The awnings are a nice feature, but we seldom use either. All too often, we are in windy locations and don't usually sit outside in the rain. 😂
Looking at everything you guys do the set up camp makes it seem so involved I feel like selling my camper
You can just do things your way. All we do here is share what we do.
Holy sticks Batman!
Haha! It was a few more than I expected, but nothing major. They were pretty brittle.
I was surprised you didn't disconnect the fast guns. You don't worry about overworking the spring in them?
Nope, I just lift the camper enough to take some weight off the truck. The majority of the weight is still on the truck and it doesn't change the tension on the Fast Guns.
I believe you left the remote on the bumper
Only been watching you recently, and am loving the videos. Question, you have a nice cargo rack on the front yet I've only seen 1 or 2 gal gas tanks on it. What else do you use it for? Fire wood?
Thank you! We use our front rack in many different ways. We cover all of the details in this video: ua-cam.com/video/076NDTJcgpw/v-deo.html
Could you attach a chain to the vent flap so that it could be closed from inside the camper?
We've thought of it, but we don't wanna drill a hole
It looks like you have same back camera as I do. So I need to know how you mounted it on you dash is it a suction cups or what mine came with two cameras and I got two more free so I can move the screen in side camper and see what’s going 360 degree.
When you use ioverlander and you find the spot you want to go, can you then use google earth to see if it's occupied?
That would be amazing!!!! But sadly it doesn't work that way. Satellite imagery is not real time, it usually months to years old. We do use the satellite images to look for camp spots, obstacles, where to park, etc. but it won't show you anything in real time.

Love your videos! Where did you get your antenna setup?
Thank you! It’s a WeBoost mounted on a painting pole from a hardware store. Works well, but I bent it once and now it doesn’t slide very well.
Hi, what is that green tank on the roof? extra portapotty tank?
Yes, it's an 11 gallon "honey wagon" or waste transport tank. We've used it a couple times at campgrounds when we didn't have a sewer hookup, only for grey water. We can go 2 weeks on our black tank and never stay any place that long.

Great Video my friend !!
Do you try to point the truck into the wind??
Thanks for coming along 😁
We do factor in wind direction, we always try to have the truck facing forward or backward into the wind for the greatest stability. It doesn't always work out that way, and many times the wind comes from all directions. We also try to park near rock outcroppings, but we try to avoid trees.

Have you heard to reseal your camper roof since you had it?
Not yet. I did add a fan and some wiring, which I sealed. But I haven't needed to do anything like that yet. I keep a close eye on it. Spring of 2021, we had some warranty work done on the camper. While they were doing it, they resealed the sides. I made a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/s53-OVcNVHA/v-deo.html

Hello! Thanks for the comment :) We do use a cell phone booster, its a weBoost Drive 4G-X. We run is most of the time, but we will shut it off when we have really strong signal in the area. We use it everywhere we go, and it works with all 4g networks, it does not work with 5g.
One of the things I've wondered about the most is how Nomads find these remote BLM spots without road signs. Also, if you know the direction of the winds, do you try to park with the nose of the truck into that general direction to reduce buffeting?
Great questions!
We have an article on our site about how we find Boondocking/camping: www.stonyboot.com/2021/06/21/great-boondocking-and-how-to-find-it/
I'll be turning the article into a video soon.
We do factor in wind direction, we always try to have the truck facing forward or backward into the wind for the greatest stability. It doesn't always work out that way, and many times the wind comes from all directions. We also try to park near rock outcroppings, but we try to avoid trees.
I'd rather be level than have the truck pointed perfectly into the wind, unless we have winds over 50-60 MPH expected, then I'l make sure I have the front of the truck facing into the wind.
Why put the antenna up with heavy winds?
We needed the extra cell signal and the wind doesn’t really effect the antenna. It’s just a skinny pole.
How do you find boondocking spots?
Mostly iOverlander (an app). We also explore and talk to people.
What is the antenna for?
It's our cell phone and wifi booster
Stop interrupting your wife her when you talk I like hearing your voice seven sounds like you have a Lotta knowledge but let’s have a talk sometime thank you
Hi, this is Sasha and I’m not exactly sure what you mean🧐 Whenever we record ourselves we have a natural flow of speech, and when we edit the video some sections get cut out for various reasons.
Love your videos, but need more camping and less truck.
Thanks for the feedback!
What’s the temp
Good question. It was 30s at night and 50s-70s during the day. Just depended on the weather.
