00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:22.190
Welcome to Botches Off -Road. Gavin, you're making

00:00:22.190 --> 00:00:26.809
funny faces over there. Am I? A little bit. Whoops.

00:00:27.649 --> 00:00:30.870
I couldn't tell if half -awake, exhausted, what

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:33.509
was going on there. All of the above. All of

00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:36.890
the above. Dude, it's been a freaking week already.

00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:38.890
What is it, Tuesday? God damn, it may as well

00:00:38.890 --> 00:00:42.429
be Friday. We're fighting the yawns. I don't

00:00:42.429 --> 00:00:44.409
want to hear anything from Mark. Mark hasn't

00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:48.179
even been to work yet. No. Mark, did you get

00:00:48.179 --> 00:00:53.479
a haircut? Yes, I did. Mark, did you get new

00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.020
headphones? Yeah. Me too. I mean, technically,

00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.899
not new. They're new pads. See that? You did

00:01:01.899 --> 00:01:06.959
get the new pads? Yes, I did. Nice. Yeah, I'm

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.739
going to have to get the pads because there's

00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:11.900
audio bleed through with these open back headphones,

00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:16.349
which I was scared was going to happen. And I

00:01:16.349 --> 00:01:19.030
had to build a new noise gate for our last few

00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:25.590
episodes. So... Yeah. I'll have to get those

00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:28.849
back so that I can not have to use as heavy of

00:01:28.849 --> 00:01:33.030
a noise gate from now on. Let me just turn you

00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:36.989
guys up a little bit. There we go. That's better.

00:01:37.189 --> 00:01:38.629
Wait, Gavin, you said you got new headphones

00:01:38.629 --> 00:01:40.909
too? No, I got a new haircut. I asked him if

00:01:40.909 --> 00:01:44.209
he got a new haircut. And he said yes. I said

00:01:44.209 --> 00:01:52.140
yes, I did too. Yeah, so it's been a week. We

00:01:52.140 --> 00:02:00.879
did timing on the 4Runner. Kind of. Yeah, did.

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.840
4Runner's broke again. The timing job that we

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.620
did, I didn't have a good... What's that thing

00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:14.610
called? Harmonic balancer? So I couldn't tighten

00:02:14.610 --> 00:02:17.930
the crank bolt as far as I was supposed to. Then

00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:19.909
when I tried something to make that happen, it

00:02:19.909 --> 00:02:25.289
slipped a bunch of teeth. So, yeah. Timing's

00:02:25.289 --> 00:02:27.689
not done. I have parts coming to do it and a

00:02:27.689 --> 00:02:30.389
new harmonic balancer. So this weekend we should

00:02:30.389 --> 00:02:34.590
be able to fix it. Hopefully I didn't break anything.

00:02:36.229 --> 00:02:40.569
Hopefully. So unless we hear something about

00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:42.629
my truck at this point, we're probably not going

00:02:42.629 --> 00:02:46.849
to rigs and coffee. Yeah, so I think that your

00:02:46.849 --> 00:02:49.389
truck isn't coming or going to be ready until

00:02:49.389 --> 00:02:53.610
Friday. Wait, what day is rigs and coffee? Sunday.

00:02:54.310 --> 00:03:01.870
What? Okay. Yeah. Yeah, so your truck, I got

00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:05.050
a call from O 'Reilly's today asking me if we

00:03:05.050 --> 00:03:07.370
had gotten two parts because they lost a part.

00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.219
And I was like, no. And they're like, well, we've

00:03:10.219 --> 00:03:14.400
got this shop that's looking for a VVT sensor.

00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.080
And we had ordered two for you, but somehow you

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.099
bought one and we can't find the other one. And

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:27.080
I was like, oh, well, we only have one. And I'm

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.500
like, and the truck's at Precision Performance.

00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.120
And he goes, oh, it's probably for the same truck.

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:42.319
Yeah. So... Yikes. Yeah, Sienna called me...

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.520
Another bad VVT then at that point? I don't know,

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.139
because the VVT's brand new. I know. Could be

00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:57.099
faulty. Weirder things have happened. Yeah, but

00:03:57.099 --> 00:03:59.159
it was having the same issue before we replaced

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:07.169
it, so... Could have been faulty before? It'd

00:04:07.169 --> 00:04:09.030
be weird to have two faulty ones, especially

00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:13.169
when one was good. I don't think so. I'm wondering

00:04:13.169 --> 00:04:18.170
if they broke it, like we did. Probably. If they

00:04:18.170 --> 00:04:24.170
did, then Mark gets a whole new engine. Yay!

00:04:25.529 --> 00:04:30.230
Bread -sized everything, guys. God, dude, it's...

00:04:30.230 --> 00:04:34.500
Yeah, so Forerunner's still borked. I haven't

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:36.680
done anything except for work on that and go

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.379
to work and hate my life. Yeah. Gavin did stuff,

00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:44.439
so I'll just let him talk the rest of the episode.

00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:49.379
Wow. I mean, I didn't really do much. I got the

00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:54.660
tent in, which was good, finally, and really

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:56.720
wanted to set it up, so I set it up that night

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.920
in the kitchen, and thankfully it wasn't as big

00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.100
as I thought it was going to be. Cause I, I don't

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:07.720
know why I don't, it doesn't feel like the size

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.439
of your gazebo, but it could be in measurement.

00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.660
It just doesn't feel like it. And so I was like,

00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.579
cool. This isn't quite as big as I thought it

00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:22.980
was going to be. It doesn't have the as, as big

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:26.560
of a footprint. Uh, or you just think of our

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.420
gazebo as bigger than it actually is. It could

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:35.449
be. Yeah, it could be. So. uh probably next day

00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:38.149
is the day after that or something whenever it

00:05:38.149 --> 00:05:41.009
was sunnier because we haven't had a sunny day

00:05:41.009 --> 00:05:45.949
in a while um we went out yeah and set it up

00:05:45.949 --> 00:05:50.209
and i took some video and tried to make a decent

00:05:50.209 --> 00:05:54.790
youtube video of it and of the whole taking it

00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:57.129
out of the bag and everything and it's pretty

00:05:57.129 --> 00:06:00.509
cool it's fucking heavy but it's pretty cool

00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:04.790
I mean, I forget. If there's a tent that makes

00:06:04.790 --> 00:06:09.569
the swag light, that's a heavy ass fucking tent.

00:06:09.629 --> 00:06:15.069
Yeah, dude. I mean, I know like 75 pounds isn't

00:06:15.069 --> 00:06:18.829
like heavy, but for a tent, when I went to go

00:06:18.829 --> 00:06:22.750
pick it up, I was like, like a little, I was

00:06:22.750 --> 00:06:25.610
a little surprised. Like, you know, you don't

00:06:25.610 --> 00:06:29.709
pick up 75 pounds. all the time at least i don't

00:06:29.709 --> 00:06:32.329
other people do but like so you kind of forget

00:06:32.329 --> 00:06:35.089
my job yeah you kind of forget what 75 pounds

00:06:35.089 --> 00:06:38.870
feels like until you're trying to throw a fucking

00:06:38.870 --> 00:06:41.910
sack of it on you like i could pick up two bags

00:06:41.910 --> 00:06:45.449
of pellets it's 80 pounds and i know how that

00:06:45.449 --> 00:06:48.670
feels but like in a long tent form i was just

00:06:48.670 --> 00:06:53.300
like wow okay it's like That's why I always just

00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:55.560
roll the swag off the truck, and then wherever

00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.279
it rolls off is where it gets set up. Yeah. I'd

00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.120
probably do that if I wasn't worried about, like,

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:04.000
tent bolts breaking or something. But, yeah,

00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.120
I think I'm going to have to clear some space

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.339
on the roof for that. That's true, because not

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:12.800
only is it heavy, it doesn't have the cushiony

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.939
mattress to protect everything. No, no. But I

00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:17.860
will be bringing that to Rigs of Coffee and setting

00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:23.120
it up for people, so that'll be fun. Yeah, it'll

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.439
be cool. I mean, it looks like they're going

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.379
to be a good area to do it at because you got

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:30.660
the park there. Yeah, I was kind of surprised

00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:36.100
that it was moving to a park. Well, I think it's,

00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:38.500
I got to double check it, but I'm pretty sure

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:41.879
it's like slightly down the road from their place.

00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:47.920
I mean, the garage currently is not that big,

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.279
so I'm not surprised that they got. permission

00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:57.060
to do in the park so is is it saturday or sunday

00:07:57.060 --> 00:08:00.819
usually sunday i know it's usually sunday but

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:03.899
i was wondering saturday's the um rocks and valleys

00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:09.439
oh yeah which i can't go to period there's no

00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.120
way i'll be ready for that yeah huh but yeah

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.420
no i'm gonna show up there we're gonna Maybe

00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:21.500
I'll bring some hot dogs or something. With the

00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:24.000
tent there and everything, we might stay the

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.079
whole time and just relax for a little bit. Depends

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.879
on the weather, I guess. I was about to say,

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.120
depends on the weather there. Yeah. It's supposed

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.860
to be like 60. Yeah, if it's 60 and stuff, then

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:41.000
we'll be fine. I don't know. I mean, last couple

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.039
weeks of weather here in Michigan has been insane.

00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:49.590
Yeah, pretty rough. Cold. Rainy, snowy, sleet,

00:08:49.590 --> 00:08:55.409
all in the same three hours. Blizzards. Thunderstorms.

00:08:57.269 --> 00:09:01.169
Thunder, snow. Did you hear about the guy that

00:09:01.169 --> 00:09:03.049
decided to go out on the ice from Mackinac Island?

00:09:03.490 --> 00:09:07.549
Oh, on the snowmobile? During the blizzard? Had

00:09:07.549 --> 00:09:11.409
to get rescued by a cutter. They saved the snowmobile,

00:09:11.490 --> 00:09:15.470
too. It was a cool video. Yeah, I saw that. Nuts.

00:09:15.529 --> 00:09:17.509
Yeah, the shelf broke from him, so he really

00:09:17.509 --> 00:09:22.649
had to get rescued. Yeah. Yeah, that was... All

00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:24.950
you do is you just floor it on the snowmobile,

00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:27.149
and you scoot across the water. Yeah, I was...

00:09:27.149 --> 00:09:30.549
Have you seen the guys? He was told not to go

00:09:30.549 --> 00:09:34.090
out there. Yeah, he was warned by, like, a sheriff

00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:38.769
or something. But... It's just crazy, dude. Yeah.

00:09:40.149 --> 00:09:43.429
But, yeah, my... But, yeah, anyway. Tent's cool.

00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:48.440
I didn't know it came with a footprint, and it

00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.759
comes with a footprint, so it's pretty cool about

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.299
that. Oh, like a tarp that goes underneath it?

00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.419
What else? Pretty cool. Tent stakes. It's got

00:09:59.419 --> 00:10:02.279
some decent tent stakes, and it's got rainfly

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:07.179
stakes, which are just the cheap tent stakes.

00:10:09.929 --> 00:10:12.129
Because that's got a solid roof. Do you even

00:10:12.129 --> 00:10:14.129
technically need the rain fly at that point?

00:10:14.129 --> 00:10:17.450
I don't know. I don't know. Because it's got

00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:24.350
sky windows. Do they have storm flaps over them?

00:10:24.529 --> 00:10:28.029
No, not over the top. Oh, then yeah, you need

00:10:28.029 --> 00:10:29.730
the rain fly. Otherwise, you're going to be leaking.

00:10:29.990 --> 00:10:33.570
Someone messaged me on YouTube about that and

00:10:33.570 --> 00:10:37.690
was asking if I moved the plastic windows for

00:10:37.690 --> 00:10:41.000
the side of the tent. to the top if that would

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.419
work and i'm like well probably not because it's

00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:48.120
like it's a velcro put on so i don't imagine

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.460
it would keep water very well so but that's fine

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:55.000
after i installed the rainfly the first time

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.480
all you have to do is take it off like the pole

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.700
extenders and you can fold the tent up with the

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:04.320
rainfly on top of it so next time theoretically

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.860
when i set it up all i have to do is stand it

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:12.879
up and the rainfly should still be on it so no

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:18.879
that is kind of i guess if the rainfly stays

00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.100
on it's not as big of a deal but it does kind

00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:23.159
of suck but at the same time if the rainfly can

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.279
stay on it then it doesn't really matter yeah

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:30.019
i think for it's no different from like my dagger

00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:37.080
or my um colorado three person the six person

00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.240
tent except I'll give it a boom in the fact that

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.000
those, if you set up in the rain, the inside's

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.919
going to be wet. Whereas with that, it should

00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.240
reflect some of the rain, even if it's not completely

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.220
waterproof. Yeah, that's true. That's a good

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:57.840
point. I was asking, because the big thing about

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.740
the swag is you don't need a rain fly. You just

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.220
roll it out and pop it up. Even if it's downpouring,

00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:04.279
all your shit inside's going to stay dry. Yeah,

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:09.220
this isn't quite like canvas. But it's a pretty

00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:14.120
heavy material. I don't really know how to call

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.879
it, you know, like what to consider it as, but

00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:21.419
it's pretty heavy duty. Like I said, when we

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:24.240
get a nice day, I'll bring it over and we can

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:29.740
set it up and we can both look at it. Nice days

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:32.360
are far and few in between, you know, this whole

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.220
cold and windy. Like, not to bring up the weather

00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:37.039
again, dude, but this has been rough. Yeah, no,

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:42.159
it has. Like, when that day, me and Jasper spent

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.419
a couple hours outside just because it was that

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:48.120
nice and we were that fucking, like, kept up

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.159
and just wanted to get out. And I was like, oh,

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:53.139
yeah, yeah, come inside, let's go do dinner,

00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:55.899
and we'll come back out tomorrow. And then tomorrow

00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:59.320
comes and it's fucking shit and rain and sleet

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.960
and snow all at the same time and thunderstorms.

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:11.639
Okay, well. Maybe not. And... Yeah, I... Sorry,

00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:13.559
guys. I didn't mean to yawn on you. Oh, yeah,

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.340
you were saying hi, so I stopped to listen to

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:20.039
what you were going to say, too. I know I, like,

00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.279
spoke, and then it was like, boom, yawn. Yeah,

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.659
no, and then to make my weekend even longer,

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:27.840
I had a massive feed spill in the brooder the

00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:32.399
day before Baby Birds came. Yeah, that was bad.

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.500
Lots of clean up on that one. Like seven tons

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.379
of feed. Well, the problem is I can't open the

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:41.700
doors with baby birds in there. Yeah. So I've

00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:45.879
just got to keep them out of the feed. Oh, yeah.

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:51.720
That sounds fun. Because it's too cold to open

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.720
the doors or I can make them sick. Yeah. I was

00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.059
hoping Thursday we were supposed to see 60s,

00:13:58.059 --> 00:14:01.299
and then now it's like high of 40s. Yeah. Yeah.

00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:07.000
Yeah, the UP's getting hammered. Oh, yeah. Dude,

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.740
Marquette is wild. Yep. Because they had almost

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:13.340
no snow left, and then they just got hammered

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:16.539
with, like, four or five feet. Yep. There was

00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:18.779
a plow truck. In, like, two hours. There was

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:20.620
a plow truck that was stuck at Harbor Springs.

00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:24.679
Jesus. Yeah. That's how bad they got hit up at

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.299
the northern part of the Minton. Yeah, everyone

00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:31.000
got hit. It's, like, just, like, 45 minutes.

00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:36.220
above us, they get hit so much harder than we

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:39.940
do. Like, all the counties is like a red stripe

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:45.639
outage up there. Wait, so 45 minutes north of

00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.960
us, so you're talking like Big Rapids area. Well,

00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:53.240
maybe a little more like Cadillac -ish. That's

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:57.000
about an hour. Us and Cadillac usually get hit

00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.710
with about the same stuff. They might see a little

00:14:59.710 --> 00:15:01.549
more than we did this year, but usually we're

00:15:01.549 --> 00:15:03.789
pretty on par with Cadillac. Yeah, I mean. Now

00:15:03.789 --> 00:15:05.590
you go up Traverse City area, they get a little

00:15:05.590 --> 00:15:07.590
bit more snowfall than we do. Yeah. Yeah, when

00:15:07.590 --> 00:15:10.090
I went to Cadillac, that's where we were doing

00:15:10.090 --> 00:15:12.129
the wheeling, and it was like, holy shit, there

00:15:12.129 --> 00:15:15.909
is way more here. Well, we, that day that you

00:15:15.909 --> 00:15:18.070
were doing that, we were out in about the same

00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:19.850
depth. We were two and a half, three foot of

00:15:19.850 --> 00:15:23.549
snow. Yeah, well, I don't know. It wasn't like

00:15:23.549 --> 00:15:29.600
that in my yard, so I don't know. pretty rough

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.500
up there and you could tell that there's like

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:34.820
a point on the highway where all of a sudden

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:37.500
the snow piles on the side of the road where

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:40.679
the plows hit them move up a good couple feet

00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.820
and you're like oh you know the roads get crappier

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:47.860
the the piles on the side of the road get taller

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:52.919
it's like a band you know and then we got hit

00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.759
with See, was that the one where we camped in

00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.620
a snowstorm, Mark? I can't remember now. Or was

00:15:57.620 --> 00:16:01.679
that one we did in the yard? Technically, we

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.220
camped in two different snowstorms. Ah, so many

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:07.279
snowstorms. Why do we camp in snowstorms? We

00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.500
could do it more. Sounds fun, now that I have

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:14.039
this. I think the worst one was our first time,

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.259
and we did not get our heating figured out that

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:19.519
time, so we were really suffering for the most

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.669
part. Yeah, I'm interested to see how... this

00:16:23.669 --> 00:16:26.929
tent heat with as big as it is with a decent

00:16:26.929 --> 00:16:31.330
heater how well it will that was the one where

00:16:31.330 --> 00:16:34.309
it was like it's negative 20 or whatever and

00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:37.529
you went inside yeah oh no dude i was chilling

00:16:37.529 --> 00:16:40.509
i woke up sweating my ass off that night open

00:16:40.509 --> 00:16:43.570
up my sleeping bag and was like oh fuck i can't

00:16:43.570 --> 00:16:47.230
do your swag holds better than my fucking tent

00:16:47.230 --> 00:16:50.490
so yeah the materials like i said i was fine

00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.659
I was fine until I rolled just right and let

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:55.820
all the cold air into my sleeping bag and I couldn't

00:16:55.820 --> 00:17:00.559
get back. Yeah, for me, I even had the window

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.019
open that night. For me, it wasn't even the heat

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:06.099
in the tent. It was the heat in my, because I

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:09.279
had two wool blankets on me, my winter sleeping

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:16.299
bag, and my down quilt. Isn't that the night

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:20.220
that we, the diesel went out too? Yeah, it is.

00:17:21.990 --> 00:17:27.589
Yeah. Yeah, because mine went out too. Yeah,

00:17:27.710 --> 00:17:31.150
that's the one where we tried to keep all three

00:17:31.150 --> 00:17:34.069
with one diesel heater and it did not work. No.

00:17:34.950 --> 00:17:37.829
It pulled the warm air out of mine and just blew

00:17:37.829 --> 00:17:43.609
a mix of cold and warm into theirs. Yeah. Yeah,

00:17:43.650 --> 00:17:50.630
I'm really hoping it works with the one. I might.

00:17:51.930 --> 00:17:54.289
No, I can't. I was going to say, maybe I could

00:17:54.289 --> 00:17:57.150
just set the diesel heater inside the tent and

00:17:57.150 --> 00:18:01.650
just have the exhaust go out the port, but I'd

00:18:01.650 --> 00:18:07.410
melt it. But I think it'll be fine. I think you'll

00:18:07.410 --> 00:18:11.970
be fine, dude. I mean, we heated the canopy by

00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:14.410
putting the diesel heater in it, and it did okay.

00:18:15.369 --> 00:18:17.450
The only reason it didn't do better is that that

00:18:17.450 --> 00:18:20.019
thing doesn't retain heat at all. Right. Yeah,

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:23.700
we had the open bottom. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Were

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:28.380
you just bare floor, too? Yeah. Yeah. Thankfully,

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.660
that came with the floor Velcroed already, because

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:34.799
I was kind of dreading that part, like Velcroing

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.960
the whole floor in. Yeah. Because it's kind of

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.920
a pain in the ass. I think that first time when

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.980
we did it, that second night, us on COTS kind

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:48.119
of saved it a little bit for us. Heat retention

00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:49.980
-wise. Yeah, it took you off the floor a little.

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:55.680
Oh, yeah. Well, it put three of us in one space,

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:58.079
so we had our body heat and the diesel heater.

00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:02.140
Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be interesting

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:04.539
to see. I was going to try it here when we had

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:08.960
all this snow piling up here, and then I forgot

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.319
that Sienna has a truck, which has the diesel

00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.400
heater and everything else in it. So I was like,

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:18.799
eh, well, screwed. So we went down to one vehicle,

00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:24.619
and now Santa drives my truck to work, which

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:27.799
means I don't have any of my cool stuff to play

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.460
with when it is warm out. But I was going to

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:35.140
do a video with me and the boy out there in the

00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:38.200
tent with the diesel heater and stuff, and it

00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.640
was just one of those things where it's like,

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.079
well, can't do that now. You just got to make

00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.799
sure you get the stuff you need for your video

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.900
out the night before. Yeah, and I didn't even

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:49.940
think about it. I just got a bug up my ass after

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:51.660
seeing that I was starting to get some views,

00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.940
and I'm like, oh, maybe I should do another one

00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:59.259
real quick. But it's all good. Maybe I'll do

00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:03.660
one this weekend. No, I think as long as you

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:06.299
got, like, there's no open mesh on your tent,

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.160
it's pretty much sealed off for the most part

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.900
unless you open it. Mm -hmm. I think you should

00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:15.440
be fine with a diesel heater. Yeah. I know it's

00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.599
slightly bigger than what me and Alan had, but

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:24.380
we are pretty much, our winter kit just pretty

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:28.240
much has a layer that blocks off the mesh. Yeah.

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.980
So that's pretty much what brings heat. All the

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:34.920
windows zip up and everything, so it should be

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.740
fine. I mean, it seals completely, plus with

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:41.440
the rain fly on. That would help retain any heat

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.819
that might escape. I mean, always shove quilts

00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:47.819
between the rainfly and the tent, too. That'll

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:51.579
help. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. No, I think it'll

00:20:51.579 --> 00:20:55.420
be good. I mean, for what we paid for it, it

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:58.160
should be good. It better be good. It better

00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.000
be good. You'll be hearing a very different review

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.039
if it's not a good four -season tent with a diesel

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:10.579
heater. That you paid. $900. Yeah. That's the

00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:13.819
most expensive ground tent I've ever bought,

00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:23.240
hands down, by like $600, $500. That's a lot.

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.460
Yeah. When I bought the swag, that was my thing.

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.519
I'm like, man, this is the most expensive ground

00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.539
tent I've ever bought. Yeah. You ever feel like

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:33.319
you're starting to get into that range where

00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.779
people see your gear and they're like, oh, it

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:41.519
must be nice. You ever get to that? I don't know.

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.400
Am I there? I think people starting out would

00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.079
see our setups and go, oh, yeah, it must be nice

00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.720
to have all that money. You know what I mean?

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:57.180
You have a full Milwaukee setup, a nice 4Runner,

00:21:58.099 --> 00:22:00.380
a good lift. And, yeah, yeah, I know you're having

00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:03.799
issues with it. But to the outside view, you

00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:10.859
have a nice 4Runner. You long travel, good camp

00:22:10.859 --> 00:22:15.160
setup. You pair all that into a package of what

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.339
you've spent and stuff and show that to a new

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:20.740
person, and they'll be like, yeah, man, that

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:25.859
sucks. You know what I'm saying? Maybe. I think

00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:28.519
we're in a different bracket now. I think we're

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.640
at a different level than what we started. I

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:35.619
mean, obviously a little bit, but even with Mark's

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:39.339
truck. He's got a solid truck. He's got a solid

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:43.200
setup. The Light Fighter, we all pack up and

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.200
get to camp and do our thing really quickly.

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:51.559
There's no fumbling around with what to do. You

00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.940
know what I mean? I don't know. We've hit a groove.

00:22:55.160 --> 00:23:00.039
We've hit a different level of it. I would look

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:06.569
at myself now as a new camper. If I looked at

00:23:06.569 --> 00:23:11.990
myself three years ago with the Ozark Trail stove

00:23:11.990 --> 00:23:17.650
kit that costs $17 with a tin pan and you just

00:23:17.650 --> 00:23:20.269
put it on a small burner, that was all I had

00:23:20.269 --> 00:23:24.349
for cooking. If I looked at that, myself then,

00:23:24.430 --> 00:23:26.329
and looked at what I have now, I'd be like, damn,

00:23:26.589 --> 00:23:33.490
you hit it big, dude. I don't know. We're doing

00:23:33.490 --> 00:23:38.049
well. right like yeah yeah we're doing well i

00:23:38.049 --> 00:23:40.049
don't know man that's that's what i use to keep

00:23:40.049 --> 00:23:42.109
the perspective if i ever get down on things

00:23:42.109 --> 00:23:44.730
like dude i got a damn near a thousand dollar

00:23:44.730 --> 00:23:49.630
tent now um i got a diesel heater like i have

00:23:49.630 --> 00:23:53.170
expensive stove expensive fridge expensive uh

00:23:53.170 --> 00:23:58.490
like kitchen sets and power and like i figured

00:23:58.490 --> 00:24:01.009
out how to wire a little bit so like i have a

00:24:01.009 --> 00:24:05.799
spare battery and lighting and a winch and like

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:10.140
moved up a lot in the last three years if that

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:13.819
i'd say the last year dude all of our setups

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:17.099
this last year of oh yeah it's ridiculous it's

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:19.240
kind of it's kind of hard until you look back

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.759
like i was looking back at google photos today

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:25.519
and i'm like god dang dude in the two years that

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.980
we've had the kid it's actually been two years

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:31.339
because my truck was stock when i got jasper

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:37.579
So in that time, I have gotten a lift, a winch,

00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:40.599
a winch bumper, the whole back redone, fridge,

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:44.640
all the stuff that I have now. That's a lot of

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.640
money, dude. I look at just the last year. The

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.980
last year I've done, did long travel. Yeah. Roof

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:57.779
rack. Yeah, roof rack was a big one. Swag was

00:24:57.779 --> 00:25:01.279
this year. Most of the pack out was this year.

00:25:02.149 --> 00:25:04.430
Yeah, I forgot about the roof rack, but yeah,

00:25:04.490 --> 00:25:07.250
roof rack was $1 ,000. Like, that ain't no joke.

00:25:08.710 --> 00:25:14.089
Mine was $250. Right. Hey, I love mine. I still

00:25:14.089 --> 00:25:16.250
think it's worth it compared to the old one,

00:25:16.329 --> 00:25:20.329
but that was not a small purchase for me. And

00:25:20.329 --> 00:25:22.650
it's taken a long time to get to these, too.

00:25:22.750 --> 00:25:26.269
Like, people would look at our setup now and

00:25:26.269 --> 00:25:29.589
be like, yeah, you know, you're loaded. I was

00:25:29.589 --> 00:25:32.869
like, no. It took two years to get all this stuff.

00:25:33.450 --> 00:25:37.990
Nothing about what we have took a day to get.

00:25:38.670 --> 00:25:44.549
It took a lot of sacrifices, too. There was definitely

00:25:44.549 --> 00:25:48.690
times where we were eating corn out of a can

00:25:48.690 --> 00:25:53.170
and hot dogs for dinner. What are you talking

00:25:53.170 --> 00:25:55.470
about? You don't eat hot dogs. I love hot dogs.

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:58.400
You guys are too fancy for that. Yeah, yeah.

00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:02.720
We have these gourmet meals. Yeah. No, I'm just

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.819
saying. We've done good. We've came really far.

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:10.839
If our past selves looked back at us, they would

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:16.019
be proud. All of us. They would be envious. You

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:20.259
guys ready to move on over to the hour? Yeah.

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:24.589
Yeah. Yeah. Kudos to us, guys. Cheers. Chink.

00:26:24.650 --> 00:26:26.809
Hell yeah. Cheers to us. Yep.
