It sure is! Thank you so much for watching. I ended up getting down to 8° but the camper stayed warm and the boys and I were safe. But we left pretty early in the morning to get back home. Great experience.
Wearing that boy out starting that generator !😅 I like the little fan ! Can’t beat a wool blanket 👍🏼 pretty nice how you utilized the Mr buddy heater 👍🏼 them mre’s are pretty nice , complete !! Nice adventure guys !! See ya in the next one !😊
Creating memories. Nothing better. Throwing some shade to all those critiquing what he did or how he did it. Shut up It's not your camper it's not your trip.
Looks like a fun camping trip with your boys. Next time you cook an MRE you need more “airflow”. Lol Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my mom in September and my stepdad the previous September. Hope to see more videos soon. Take care my friend.
@FatMatAdventures very cool video, another great adventure in the books. the chili and beans looked interesting, the hot pouch probably didnt have enough water, the water pouch should have been filled to the top fill line, not sure how full it was but pretty neat, thanks for the vid and I think i know where your location was very pretty site.
Hey buddy, thanks so much for watching. Yeah it was kind of weird. We put a little bit of water in it and then I put a little bit more and it never heated up. So I'm not sure what the deal is with that one but I have a couple more from my dad to try out. We had a good time. The kids stayed safe and warm and I can't wait to do it again. Hopefully we can hook up soon brother.
One thing to know is never have your camper plugged in to electric until you unplug the 7 prong for the truck once you hook up to power the plug to the truck has power going to it.
I wouldn’t recommend it for long term winter camping but it’s warm enough for a few nights. The heater works well but it’s not insulated well so you end up with a cold floor and a hot ceiling.
You're right about that, 11 degrees this morning in Richardson. Hike the yellow trail a couple of weeks back and white trail next day. Spent three nights boondocking. If i see you out there would like to say hello. O yea just saw your overnight at White Top Mountain, was there this pass fall, and hike where Luke spent the night a few times. Take care see you on the trail. . @@FatMatAdventures
@soninlaw1955 yep it sure was cold. Yeah that would be awesome to meet you. Oh that's super cool. White top mountain was really awesome. His video was amazing with all the fog and clouds and things. Mine was kind of lackluster but it was still a really good experience.
I had to stop watching after 10:40. Why did you open the pouch and dump the meal out? And then dump it from a big pot to a smaller one? Why not just heat it up in water, then eat it?
What a good dad! Making memories with your boys that they will have for a lifetime. I love that they have your easy-going attitude! 😀
Awe, thank you so much! That means a lot!
Nice video. Your 17b is awesome and I really like your Tundra!
Thanks very much 😊. I have a Ram now. Miss the tundra but really liking the Ram.
Was waiting to say, "you flooded it!" to your kid! Good job on the start up recovery!
He sure did! Thanks!
Winter camping! Woohoo! Fun with the boys. Wonderful. 14 is pretty chilly though!! 😁👋

Looked like a jolly good time in the camper.
Sho nuff!

Yeah, Ethan sure is growing up isn't he? Thank you so much for watching. I hope you stay warm and look forward to another video from you soon.
Hey I like that heater. I might need to get one for my glamping Tent. Thanks for sharing.
Oh they are awesome!
Great video with you and the kids!
Awe thank you so much 💗

It's not your camper it's not your trip.
Thank you kindly!
That kid is a genius ❤ Chip and popcorn sandwich, that's a million dollar idea ❤
Sure is! Hehe! :)
Wow ❤ Thanks for your response ❤ I love it ❤️ Keep Going Strong ❤@@FatMatAdventures

Appreciate it. Sorry to hear that too.
Oh man sorry to hear that. Yep def more air flow is needed lol
Sounds fun! The chili and beans looked quite interesting!
Good times and the food was better than it looked
@FatMatAdventures If you wanna camp out in the cold, why don't you come to our place and break the iced pond for us 😂
@gallopinggoatranch haha I may just do that!!!
I know nobody enjoyed that MRE but it was funny watching y'all pretend hahaha
Lol it wasn't too bad

@@FatMatAdventures can't wait my friend will be a fun time.

Hahahah
Is the Coleman a seasonal trailer? Didn't know it can withstand the cold.

What about pipes freezing?
Great question - we did have fresh water pipes freeze unfortunately.
@@FatMatAdventures oh no yeah I heard about that
Awsome
Addicted to camping hehe
Una buena Ventura
Gracias!
Awesome
Thanks!!!
So, "FatMat", your video is titled "Winter Camping in the Coleman 17b - Will it stay warm in 8° F?" um, so did it?
Yes.
Anybody else camping out there at the grasslands?
When we left there was no in there. I think it was too cold

@@FatMatAdventures thanks Matt !!👍🏼
@IndianHemlock YW 😊
PSA … A Mr. Buddy heater in an unventilated area can result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Yep! Good thing it was vented.
@@FatMatAdventuresYou're a good Dad ❤
@@mirriamvalentin8634 Awe, thank you so much!!! :)

I could have and it would have worked well. I have never used the heater to cook on so I wanted to try it.
@@FatMatAdventures I understand that. Use the heater, boil water, put the pouch in that!
@fredgarvin1465 oh I gotcha lol yep good idea! Next time ☺️
Don't camp in the cold !!! No!!!!
It's cool, I wore an extra sock.
Just one?? And where@@FatMatAdventures
It's a secret
A Canadian should not be poo pooing cold camping!
we dont
Being in an RV is not camping. Your just brought your house to forest
