⛈️ Camping in My Truck During Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms - Overnight Storm Truck Camp Adventure

One year while at my family reunion- we own land on the Mulberry River- we had a truck load of strangers come on to our land and stopped at the campsite and started to unload their gear to go hunting- myself and two other senior boys confronted them telling them thus was private land and they should leave- they laughed and said who was going to make them leave- two of the grandma's appeared holding shotguns and said "we will" - the strangers loaded back up and left quickly- lmao my grandma was holding a Long barreled Greener 10gage shotgun lol

My wife and I had a run in with some people while out exploring the ghost town of Ellsworth in Nevada. Some locals from Gabbs came across us and long story short, they were very drunk, had us blocked in, threatened us and drove away shooting. It was unnerving to say the least. We brought firearms but we thought our biggest adversary would be animals like coyote or cougar. It turns out in all of our adventures we've had more problems with people than animals. Even came across an ugly domestic dispute out hiking one time. Animals are easy. People, not so much.

The ABSOLUTE best camping video is a RAINY one. Love it.

My family has been pretty sick with various ailments over the past 2-3 years, so I've been pretty much home bound and unable to camp or hike. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I'm living vicariously through you right now.

You add life to an old female that watches your endevors and loves all the fun you have. I absolutely love rain and storms and it seems like so much fun to enjoy when camping. Many prayers to you.

The Truck/Tarp combo is Great. In my evolution of camping, I started tent camping, went to topper truck camping, Pop-up camper, travel trailer, and back to truck camping. I like truck camping the very best of all the choices. At 70 my roaming up and down the mountains are behind me, while truck camping still gets us outdoors and we can pretty much bring everything with us including the kitchen sink. It makes camping very pleasurable for us older folks. Wishing the very best for you and your loved ones.

As the corporal from corporals corner say. “If it ain’t raining, you ain’t training!

Omg, I talk about budwieser causing headaches for 40 years! It’s that “beechwood” aging

I had a similar experience as your friend. Going back to college I encountered another driver who was taunting me and driving aggressively. I motioned for the guy to pull over which he did. I pulled up behind him and watched. The driver calmly got out of his vehicle and walked to his trunk, opened it, and pulled out a shotgun. I took off. I never got into a road rage incident again. The crazies are out there.

I drove long haul trucking for 30 years. I remember back in the early 90's, I had a Burton butane one burner stove I took in the truck with me. Loved it. Back then they were like $22.

I wasn't out camping, in fact I was still in town about a mile from home. I had just installed new headlight assemblies on my Tacoma and was in a construction area where it was dark and set my headlights to the correct height. On my way back to the apartment I noticed a car tailing me closely. If I changed lanes they changed lanes. If I turned they turned. If I sped up or slowed down they did too. Finally I got tired of it and made a fast maneuver in my parking lot that allowed me to block their car. They stopped and I got out and yelled at them with my truck between us. All I saw was headlights. I couldn't see the car. Finally one got out of the car and answered me saying they were police. I told the guy to walk forward toward me and hold up his ID then. He asked if I was armed. I told him not to worry about it. He could see me and I couldn't see any of them. He told me to come out from behind the truck and I said not likely. You could be ready to shoot me. He finally approached my truck so I could see him clearly. He identified himself and asked if I was armed. I said only my tire iron. We finally got out of traffic and he started asking me what I was doing behind the stores. I said I wasn't behind the stores, I was in the construction area. Longer story shorter it turned out a store had been robbed while I was back there and they thought I might be the getaway car. Right? I was a quarter mile from the stores, not right behind them with a large cleared field between!. I nearly had to change my pants cause I knew I bit off more than I could chew stopping them like that.

Your videos relax me so much. I usually watch these before bed and they are so cool.

i love camping in the rain....love it! sleep good hunker down and munch out!!! cmon rain!

After being wet for over 24 hrs and falling asleep for 10 minutes, I’m now wiped out on body heat and shivering like fool, and get handed a steaming cup of black coffee! God is Great, coffee is good, field is crazy. 🙃

Back in the late 80s I combined my love for camping and backpacking with my love for history and became a Civil War reenactor. We drank out of tin cups and in the evenings after all the camp visitors had left events, the beer came out. But we still insisted on period style everything so the beer cans filled up the tin cups and then were placed out of sight from each other. Tin makes all beer taste the same so tens of thousands of reenactors across the east and mid west bought the cheapest beer possible, Schafers. Probably dream years for that beer company!

Rain sounds good. I love the sounds. Frogs, wind, crickets. ❤️

I miss the rain. I wish it would rain here in SoCal 🥲

Years ago I was driving my 18 wheeler & stopped at a rest area just over the oregan state line from Idaho. 2, 3a.m. Didn't think about anything except getting to ladies restroom. I pushed the door & something stopped the door from opening all the way. I saw a shadow through the hinge opening & I ran back to my truck. Left rapidly. Scared me real good.

Thanks for the adventures Luke, I C.C as well. I will never allow anyone to intimidate me again. Had enough abuse growing up. Yes I am responsible but refuse to be a doormat for any weirdos.
