    I took apart my cheap camper shell (for the second time), gave it a refresh, and reorganized my truck camping setup - now it's time to put it to the test. Join me for a day camping by the river and cooking gourmet campfire meals.

    About me: I decided to jump on an opportunity to buy a school bus for $1000. After 2.5 years of building and a couple summers doing bus life, I sold the bus and began building a tiny house boat from scratch. My hope is that with a couple years of practice building under my belt, I can do a bit better of a job this time and build something that actually floats 🤞

    Some times the best camping trips are where your clothes and your food both smell like the campfire smoke, and the sound of that rive bring back really great memories from camping trips in the past.

    Hearing Emma mention hauling giant logs out of the forest made me chuckle, because it brought back a memory of another adventurous young lady hauling even gianter logs to a campfire one night in Colorado.
    Laura, a powerlifter friend, went out to collect firewood. She came back to the campsite flipping a huge log end over end. It was about eight feet long and fully 18 inches thick. She would pick up one end, and keep lifting the log hand over hand until she could push it over. She brought it all the way to our campsite, where we used it mostly as a bench in front of the fire. But Laura needed to show off her muscle after drinking a bit. So she demonstrated for us one last time, lifting the log and flipping it over into the fire this time.
    I stayed up that night to be sure the fire was dead out after people went to sleep. Thankfully, I didn't have to lift the log and manhandle it like Laura had done. I just rolled it into the creek to put the fire out!

    Firstly. You worked very hard to build that bus! If you wish to "rough it" your bus wasn't
    The problem. Your bus was something you accomplished and you should reflect on it as an accomplishment.
    You could still "rough it" in your bus opting to cook over a fire, however you feel a truck canopy serves better.
    Let's hope the house boat is what you desire.
    Cheers

    An epiphany. Camping or driving your house around.
    You may have the perfect mobile set up. Pick-ups can go most anywhere and haul enough stuff. I'm very aged and use a mini van but it is much more fragile than a pick-up. I don't go to those rugged places any longer.
    Bed in the back means no set up and some security. Put the Monkey on the front.
    Coleman makes a one burner stove. It is cheap. Like 1/4 the cost of my stone reliable 50 year old Svea 123. If you just need hot water you could use a 12 volt cup heater. I always carry one. make a cuppa as your driving down the road.
    For rain protection use a blue tarp. Throw it over the camper roof. Anchor the front to the rear tires and roll it out over your tail gate. Tie off to trees or a couple of poles. Go as big as you want.
    Remember water. A gallon a day plus one for the truck.

    It's good to see you getting that great dose of fresh air, it's a welcome break from the long process of building your houseboat, I guess.
    I've always loved streams/creeks (ever since I was a little boy fishing for minnows and catching eels hidden under rocks), and you've made me want to wake up with the sound of the water too.

    🎉 Yay! A weekend off. It's good for the soul. I hope you enjoy the company of your friends. The first aid kit is a good idea to carry in your truck camping or not, one thing I found that was handy to keep in my camping gear was a bar of anti-ivy soap, scavenging for wood can be an itchy situation sometimes. I do miss birdie, but I can see this is a better option for ya at this point for ya. I never had a camper shell on my truck but I remember pretty much living most of my summer vacations over in the east side of Idaho/Wyoming/Montana near Yellowstone and in the Tetons camping and fishing and rock climbing. If I couldn't carry it in my hiking pack, I didn't bring it. I felt downright spoiled when I got to camp with some friends that had an RV. 😂 and i think it's been over a decade since I've been camping for real. 😔 Lol. The last time I went camping it was more Glamping, with my elderly parents, and I honestly think I was invited for strictly labor purposes. I ended up setting up their posh little encampment for them. They have one of those Pop up awning tents that they put over the picnic table and then put the door of their HUGE tent so it opens into it, and then set up mine on another side. So it was like "camping" in a three room cabin. They had these huge double bed sized air mattress and the coffee pot and a microwave. So not the way we camped when I was younger. Same sleeping bag though, still have it. It's over 30 years old and cozy as ever. Sorry for the ramble. I hope anyone that read all of this is well, and happy. Be blessed everyone. ❤ 🕯️

    Terrific scenic video! Rain beating on a roof is great sleeping, but a bit too cozy in a confined space during the day unless you are deep into a book.
    Beautiful is beautiful regardless of where it is, close to home is an added bonus! Camping and great food just go together, and the outdoors makes even a hot dog taste better... I had a Coleman griddle /burner stove like you described and it lasted for years. I now use a larger smoker/ grill and a single burner for boiling water for tea/ coffee or Dinty Moore Beef Stew, my go to quick or emergency meal in a can that goes with me everywhere.

It's inspiring to see the simplicity and peacefulness of truck camping, emphasizing the beauty of nature and the joy of enjoying a delicious meal prepared in the great outdoors. This video captures the essence of outdoor adventure and relaxation, making me want to pack up my own truck and head to the nearest riverside for a similar experience.

    Emma, I have looked into a camping setup in my Tacoma a few years back, yeah I did the platform initially too, and was not a fan either. So here is an idea for your setup…First get a smaller mattress that will fit between the wheel wells. Then build cabinets that go over the wheel wells, say, up to the height of the truck bed (you don’t want to lose those beautiful views). That would give you space for camping gear. Maybe have drawers at the tailgate end that could be good for stuff that you use often. Just a thought 🤷‍♀️
