    Luke, I am sorry the tent is leaking but this is one of my favorites. I love the sound of “powerful winds” blowing in a forest. Takes me back to some of my favorite times as a kid! I would hide in the sparse forest near our home so my father could not beat me. I associate storms with “peace and safety.” At 77 I am over that trauma but I still adore wind and heavy rain. 🙏❤️🦅

      ​@@susanwright6785 the best tent I've owned is the "Bushmen core tent lodger" combined with "DD Tarp 3x3 MC". Highly suggest looking into it! It's about $350 and what's so cool about it is the fact your rain fly can be multi-use since it's a tarp. So you can either have it completely pegged down for cold weather or in a lean to configuration for hot weather. I'm surprised more people don't know about it! You do have to learn a bit of tarp knowledge but that's easy once you get the hang of it.

      I grew up in the White Earth reservation in the early 70's, one would think the bald eagle would be seen there of all places, north central Minnesota next to Itaska state forest and the Tamarac refuge, nope. I hadn't seen a bald eagke until I was 7 or 8, and that was a taxidermy specimen in a backroom within the no-go zone of a library in south central Minnesota. Many young people just do not understand how close this species of raptor got to extinction because of DDT. My first live sighting I was in my 30's, and guess where. White Earth. I was overcome with relief and joy. Better late than never.😅

    There's several people that live in South Korea who also do camping. I've seen clear doors on their tents here on their UA-cam channels. There's one married couple that have this massive tent they use. You can set up a living room, dining room, inside heater, etc. I think they have a dog as well. It's pretty neat to see them camping in the snow. I like the clear door idea.

    I just shut down my UA-cam channel after 7 years of reviewing guitars along with my brother. We never reviewed a guitar that I didn't purchase at full price with my own money, except for a couple of my brother's personal axes. I didn't want anyone to question the integrity of our reviews because we were getting free guitars. I don't think it's possible to stay honest when you are getting free items for review because you always have to consider that factor. I'm rather proud of that.

    Hi Luke, I bought a 2023 4Runner TRD Off Road Last year and love it. You may try this for sleeping comfort. Take out the bottom seats on the rear passenger side which will give you another 12 inches of room. The back is not level so I use my Helinox Lite Cot 23" wide and 73 1/2'' long. Leave out one mid section of leg. The front section keeps in stretched out and hang over the font seating area and the back two sections level everything out. Use a pad and bag and you will be comfortable. Enjoy!

      Does weather make life interesting? I moved to Wyoming from Georgia, and a 20 degree day with 20+ mph winds is par for the course here. At 50+ mph, the wind picks up gravel to throw against the windows. We've clocked winds at 80 mph and temps as low as -36 (without wind chill). Wyoming's state wind sock is a truck chain!

      I have been backpacking and camping for close to 50 years and still love it. Weather can happen before you know it, even if you look at the forecast. Things change in nature and sometimes you just have to deal with what you have before you. Make sure you have good gear and you will be fine, but you need to know what you are doing and not do anything stupid or nature will make you pay for sure. I backpack mostly from December to April. In the summer there are to many bugs and to many people. Have fun out there and be safe. I love Wyoming. Not to keen on the grizzlies, but you have to take care when you are in an area with animals that look at you as dinner. Bear spray does not work. A 45/70 rifle is what will do the job.

    Thanks Luke for another great adventure. Enjoy the 4runner. I had my doubts about the tent when you were setting it up because of the mylar. It seemed like it was going to be a bad condensation magnet. But, thanks for hanging in there. Almost any day in the woods is better than a day not in the woods.
    Stay safe and God bless.

    Thanks for the review, Luke, I always look forward to your take on the many different camping products available. With regard to the heater's performance in this test, the clear plastic door and the gap at the bottom would not have been doing it any favours. I would imagine that, with the mylar-lined door panel closed, it would have been toasty warm in there.

    4Runner. Not bad and you won’t regret it. I test drove one the other day - I like my Jeep so much better. Especially on the performance side. But, you will have more space and a better, quieter ride. And better dependability - although I’m rough on my Jeep and it’s held up very well.

      But MY 2024 4Runner TRD Pro will 'Tail Gate' You and PASS You When You BREAK DOWN... WE CAN GO FURTHER AND STAY OUT LONGER By Virtue of INCREASED PAYLOAD CAPACITY... More Food, Water and AMMO... WITH 3 PASSENGERS...!!! (4 Man Fire Team)
      YES, You're Right Jeep Wranglers' Have Great Performance... BUT 4RUNNER IS MORE CAPABLE AND THEREFORE...BETTER!!!
      Park your Jeep and Join the 4Runner
      Club... Suggest... buy a new 2024 5th Gen 4runner Off Road Premium (OFP) like Luke did or a 2024 4Runner TRD Pro like I did... US$64,915.31...
      New 6th Gen will be Revealed later this year for 2025... What will power it...??? This We Definately KNOW... It will Only Have 2.4L 4Cylinder Turbo...
