welcome back to a little slice of heaven
good morning y'all yes i am at the same camp and can you blame me i will be staying here for my
entire allotted time this is uh dispersed camping free camping and i am allowed to stay here for 10
days i will be staying here for the entire 10 days not only to save on fuel costs which are
ginormous right now but also because it is so beautiful i will have a hard time leaving
even when it comes time to leave and as i said i doubt that any of you would blame me for doing so
hopefully you guys will enjoy seeing a little bit more of this place
i have a fun day planned and it's going to start with an awesome hike and this hike has a
different and interesting mode of transportation to get to the trailhead so i'm very excited
i will also be showing you the modification that i did on the truck
but before that it is time for breakfast and this morning i'm making chocolate chip pancakes
i could have sworn i bought chocolate chip mix but apparently i bought
buttermilk they'll still be good
ouch ouch step my toe
all right the flip yes the first one's never that great second one is definitely better
real quick i want to talk about the sponsor of today's video the anker 757 power station
i haven't mentioned it on the channel before but even though i have my trailer i'll be setting
up my truck for over landing as a camper i'm getting a cap for the back this anchor is not
only going to help me do the build on the inside by powering my power tools that will also power
all my equipment and gear and even a refrigerator once i have it all set up the anker 757 has the
most advanced long lasting batteries premium lfp batteries will remain in a healthy state even
after 3 000 complete charge cycles with six times longer battery life span than the industry average
it comes with a five-year guarantee for peace of mind it will even outlast the warranty of your
other electronic devices with a recharge from zero to eighty percent in just one hour hyper flash
recharge uses bi-directional inverter technology with 92 percent charging conversion rate this
bad boy has 1500 watt output power and 1229 watt hour capacity home appliances that can be charged
include portable fridges fans coffee makers microwaves and more this is your worry-free power
supply for three to five day trips or emergency outages if this is more power than you need check
out the anker 521 and 535 powerhouse with the same long lasting batteries but smaller capacity once
again i'd like to thank the sponsor of today's video the anker 757 power station if you'd like
one of these bad boys for yourself click the link in the description below now back to the show
i had read about some hikes where you take a boat shuttle across the redfish lodge lake
starting at the redfish lodge marina and i thought that sounded pretty cool what a way to get to the
trailhead and i love being on the water i looked forward to the boat ride as much as i did the hike
it began as a chilly morning the temperature swings were as much as 50 degrees
the 30s in the morning and the 80s later in the afternoon
it is such a gorgeous morning i've just taken the shuttle over from
redfish lake where there are lots of hiking trails on the other side
so
i couldn't think of a better way to start the day the hike was gorgeous
and now it was time to take the boat back to the marina
so this is it this is one of the things that brought me to idaho i happen to find this cap
this camper shell for sale it was out of boise and the cellar was nice enough to
actually deliver it to my camp all of this stuff was taking up the back seat of the cab
of the truck and now it's back here and i have room to spare my back seats are empty i've been
looking for one of these i think i mentioned it early on that i was probably going to get a cap
for the truck and yeah i found it this is going to open up a lot of opportunity for me i will be
able to take the truck into more remote locations that i probably won't want to take the trailer
i'm going to set this up with a bed back here and just a kind of a camping setup i don't know
exactly what i'm going to do yet still in the very early stages of planning but it's very exciting
one of the things that i want to clarify and kind of bust the myth on is that people thought that
with my truck camper i was going to way more remote locations and now that i have the trailer
i wasn't going to be able to do that i even had a viewer tell me that i was not going to be allowed
to go to certain places because they don't allow towables i have never heard of that in
my entire time on the road nor has anybody that i've talked to it just doesn't exist
the thing that i want to clarify is that with the truck camper on this truck
there were definitely many places that i would not take that rig my entire life was inside that
camper and i was not going to go on any crazy 4x4 roads with it and i've never even had to put
this into four wheel drive in any of the locations that i've gone to with the camper on top so i was
you know very mindful when i was switching over from the truck camper to the trailer
that i would still be able to get into the majority of places that i wanted to get into
and that is the case i mean as you can see i'm at this beautiful location and it wasn't exactly easy
getting in here there's a very steep road that's kind of rutted out that i had to pull it up onto
and uh yeah i'm still able to get to all the beautiful locations that i want to get to however
there probably are some locations that i would not have taken the truck camper either that i can
now take this with a camper shell on top and you know a little bit of a camping setup in the back
so i'm really excited about that so in actuality getting the travel trailer has now opened up
even more possibilities for me and i'm really excited this is dinner tonight the days have been
very warm as i know that they have been all across the country and in a lot of places
around the world so tonight i'm just going to cook outside so i don't heat this place up i'm
going to cook some brats over the fire i don't think i've mentioned it on the channel yet but i
can use my air conditioning with my solar setup my ac runs off of my solar power
it's absolutely incredible i've been using it during the hottest portions of the day when
i'm here at the trailer and then it just re my batteries recharge the next day and i can use
it again i'm absolutely blown away that i can use my air conditioning on the power of the sun
uh
today i decided to visit a beautiful spot i had come across during my exploration
and spend a little more time there
i just want to say when i come to this spot i actually scoped out this spot a couple of days
ago and decided to come back here because it looked like such a perfect spot to have lunch
at really reminds me of the movie a river runs through it this is the yankee fork creek off
of the yankee fork road quintessential mountain creek scenery really beautiful
it's just a tad bit windy today
so
this place is just so mind-blowingly beautiful i can't stand it
i think i'm going to go ahead and sign off on this video here i have really enjoyed my stay i hope
that you enjoyed exploring more of central idaho with me i know that i'm definitely not sick of it
i would really be curious to know what you think about the modification
on the truck uh how you feel about it are you a fan what are your thoughts on the new camper shell
i'm not sure where i'm going to be landing next week or you know for next week's adventure so
make sure that you stay tuned if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and i will see
you next sunday thank you all so much for your support love you all and i'll see you soon bye
