New winter camping video out now: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/i3mFbHionJ1i1as.htmlsi=CIfHp0s6mFH0io72

You are the reason that no matter how old your son is, is that a mother still never stops worrying about her child!

I have to say I was yelling at you the entire video! You need to take a winter camping survival class😂😂😂

The year I moved to Oregon was the year that the SF Bay area family got stranded after they took a shortcut over the mountain. He died of hypothermia trying to walk out to get help. Later that year, a family in a class A motorhome got stranded for a month when they set out to winter camp. An elderly couple died in a storm when they accidentally drove onto a seasonal road, hit a drift and couldn't open their doors to get out. Freezing to death is hella painful. The stories are endless of people who don't respect winter in Oregon and go up the mountain unprepared. Never use hot water to unfreeze your door locks. Two days worth of food and water? Wasting propane for a camp fire? You are lucky you made it out at all. Please know what you're doing next time. And thank God for your sensible mom, the hero of this story.

Winter survival is a must. I live in the north east. I learned at a very young age on seasonal survival. Now I am teaching my son. Power failures, stuck in any kind of storm, cooking survival, starting a fire in an emergency situation. Ther are many UKposts videos on it. Please becareful and for future bad weather issues, stock up on propane, batteries just in case, watch the weather carefully and charge up all that needs charging. And stick up on non perishable foods for power failures. Also be sure to have extra heavy blankets for weather like this both in the camper and at home. Glad the family is safe. Take care.

Shaking my head! What did we learn? Don’t leave the family during a winter storm warning, what if your water pipes froze and burst? Don’t go where you can’t leave to get back home because that heater is not reliable! Lay a tarp over the cab to prevent frozen doors! Letting snow pile up with the top up is just asking for several problems. Find a way to clear the snow off the top as to not fall on cars behind you and endanger families traveling behind you and risk snow sliding onto your windshield! I was waiting for your truck not to start! So many things could have gone really wrong here, just for a video. Great teaching video for your audience on what not to do try. Try and stay a little safer!

A few tips: when starting out with new equipment it’s always worth it to try it all out close to home. Spend the night in your own driveway or backyard, or within a few minutes travel. That way if something catastrophic fails with your gear you can get home safely. It lets you catalogue things you may need to plan in future travels (like a shovel to get snow off the roof & dig out tires, a can opener, tarp to cover the door/windshield to keep it from freezing shut, knowing not to keep vital items in a cab you may not be able to get to easily , access doors for propane and gear may freeze shut, etc.). I’d suggest whenever you get out of your rig and the heater is on, close the door! Don’t leave the cabin door open while you’re gathering gear or taking pictures. It’s making your heater work even harder, burning through propane faster, and losing all the heat you could’ve retained inside. It looks like you were opening that can with some kind of utility folding knife, such as a Swiss army knife. I can almost guarantee there is a can opener on that knife. Before your next trip look up how to use a SAK to open a can . I admire you for trying new things but please please do a little more to prepare in order to make you safe out there!

Hahahaha bro…. I was half awake when I took that phone call 😂😂😂 oh lord can’t wait to see what this is about

Well that was stressful to watch, yet you remained calm for each of the mishaps. Glad you got home safely!

Get yourself a frost blocker cover for the windshield and side mirrors. Costco has them right now for less than $40. Be safe when you go out there, make a checklist to ensure you have everything. Glad you made it home safe to your beautiful family

Ugh ! Very frustrating video to watch . What a nightmare! I keep thinking how crazy it was that you even attempted this in the middle of a severe snow storm ! I had anxiety and wanting to stop watching several times ! 😅 I probably would’ve turned around when it started to snow and gone home . A lot of what ifs could’ve happened to both you and Jalenia and Ember ! I know you made it home safely. I hope you all are okay now and the heat and power are back on at the house . 🙏

This should be titled “Everything That Can Possibly Go Wrong When Winter Camping”. 😂 Glad you got home safe!

I'm glad you made it back safely; I was worried for you. The drone footage was amazing, too bad the cold got to be too much for the equipment.

Soo glad your safe ..now get to your girls asap! Love ❤️ you all.

🫣 glad you made it out safely, the footage was beautiful! 🌬️🌨️🥶 Mom and dad are awesome 😇😇 always looking out for their babies. Hopefully you got power back today; lots of projects for the spring. 🙏🏻 💜💙💜

OMG!!! Count your blessings for momma & that hide-a-key lol ❤️🤍💙✌️

I’m sitting here reading all these comments and I have to agree with most of them I hope you learned your lesson. Putting content out on a UKposts channel isn’t more important than your family and it’s a reminder that every choice and decision we make in life has a effect on others that love us and care about us and sometimes the consequences can be more of a devastating outcome

Isaac, you should store 1 large towel and 2 regular towels in your truck so you can cover your windshield and drivers door and lock and passenger door and lock. Yes you can push on the door but you risk denting them. Another BIG no no is NEVER pour hot water on windows. You had me panicked watching you pour that hot water. Remember to put your hide a key back and if you don't find the other one, make sure to have another made. They are expensive with remote though. You should store pillows and blankets in a vacuum sealed bag. We keep most of our stuff on our trailer so we don't have to think about it. Hope by priming the propane hose, you fixed your heater. Glad you stayed warm. Many lessons to learn on this trip. Always bring enough food and water that if you get stuck, you have enough for 1 week. I always pack more than enough because you never know. Then you went home to a branch through the roof! No power and little food. You need to learn to be a prepper then you just don't have those worries. Can you tell I'm a mom. We want you safe, warm, dry and tummy full. Hope you are working out the roof situation.

I love my Tundra. Its saved me more than once when all my other equipment failed on the farm. Was worried about that tent in the freeze. It's been brutally cold in Central Oregon -5 F..... So glad your ok and glad your Momma had a hide a key for you!.. Go Mommas!..

Thank God for hide- a-keys! Lmao. Years ago when I used to camp, we always had a list of what to make sure we had and needed to bring 😂❤😂

I have a new 2023 Sanctuary Transit with the Truma heater. 3 nights... not in a row, the heater tripped off and I woke up to 30 something degrees inside. For context, I am new to this and am 55 in Alabama and am not used to this kind of cold. Needless to say, I am staying in the house while we are in the single digits tonight. I am grateful for your channel and Jaylena's! Y'all have helped me learn many things I needed to know to begin to spend time on the road as a part-timer. So proud of you and your little family!

Issac Im so glad you made it home, stayed warm, found spare key, had a hot meal, (got to have those calories to keep warm). I know the Lord was watching over you and the girls. You got alot of advice on here in comments, but to add: I would buy one of those tool things to go on key chain, that has knife, can opener, scissors, screwdriver, etc. couldn’t hurt. Stay safe and warm!

Thankful you made it out safely.

Glad you made it out safe and were able to get home to the girls.

Great video! Loved the drone footage! ❤

spray all your locks with WD40. Will prevent them from freezing. Same with all around your vehicle doors so you don't get locked out of your driver's seat.

Just got to say you have a death wish heading out into a mountain pass in the snow with no shovel. Get one stat and keep it in the truck. Always have a bag of cat litter in the back seat to help if you get stuck.

Dude: You need to THANK the ALMIGHTY for your MOM,...she gave you life TWICE! Her Mother's Day gift should truly reflect your appreciation. Mine is gone: appreciate her while you can! No excuses.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wow what a trip 🥶.!! Thank God for Low 4 wheel ! Glad you made it home !! ❤

Isaac ignore the haters. You went out to test the rig. Even with the best weather check things can get bad and we can't predict these. Has happened to me several times and it is what it is. Glad to see you made it home and much respect to you.

Better then sitting in the house all day ,He’s a grown man he knows what he’s doing, live and learn,❤

There are no words for this video 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Being Quebecet I was horrified to see you out in the mountains with such a low preparedness! You were very lucky to get away safely!

Funny story when you ask Google how to open a frozen door mind answered you and the last thing they said do not put boiling water on door LOL but once again you achieved it and you got home to your girls And the drone shots were amazing😊

Ive watched this three times .its was intense i sat watching it like a life time movie eating popcorn. It reminded me of a life time movie id seen once . A family got stranded in a snow storm , and the father took off walkng for help and the mother ate snow to stay hydrated enough to nurse her baby. Boy you cant be scaring folks like that. Was a great video though teaches some great life lessons . Lol see what ya did there your problems helped educate others .

I enjoyed this episode cause everything kept going wrong! When you called your friend and he couldn’t get to you my heart sank and your face said it all. Thanks for sharing your journey even the bad parts!

Excellent content Isaac!!!

Whoaaaaa!!! Beautiful scenery, but way scary situation. Great trial run on the camper. They make a spray that you can spray on the locks, so they won't freeze. I would get a quilted cover for the windshield and drivers side door. Put an old hand crank opener in there and leave it in there. Maybe you need a survival kit in case you really do get stuck. Oh and you owe your Mom and Pop a dinner out for being awesome! Y'all are sure on a discovery mission this year with a new house and new camper. You will get it, experience is the best teacher there is.

OMG!! Isaac!! What an Adventure!! 😮🤦‍♀️👍

Thanks much Isaac. Early morning here and necessary vanlifer chores for me, so only just watched. Painful to watch! ❄🥶❄😱 Brave you! Maybe you need a mini blowtorch on hand for future frozen doors and locks and windscreens. PS, I learned that pushing on doors like that can leave indentations, so when I have slider issues now, I am extra gentle! Dent sorted 😊 Awesome videography and drone footage you got was really great Isaac. You definitely deserved a hot spring, or soak in a nice warm bath after that little content adventure!! What you go through!! ⛏🧣🧤🔥 🤞No future heating issues🤞AND remember, add not only one, but TWO can openers to your camper stash. ⚠️ And, hide another truck key in magnetic holder on underside.That, had to have been scary. Plus, a collapsible large bowl or two will always come in handy, for washing or whatever. Store so easily.💜💜💜

So glad it all worked out and you and your family made it through this.

Make sure to put the hide a key back for the next time you need it. Lesson learned.. put hide a key on Embers car so when she calls you someday you can help her. Lol. Hope you all got you electric back on and are staying safe.

Outstanding !!! The video intro was on fire.

Stay safe and your truck does amazing in this depth of snow. Thank for the share...🤗 Your camper is nice.

Glad you made it through and back home safely Isaac and the truck was faithful to what it was meant to do, 4x4s are usually best in weather like that majority of the time. Stay safe and warm too. Had seen Jaylena's video, when you gotten home, that was some scary with those falling trees and branches, especially with the branches broke through Ember's room, so thankful she wasn't playing in that area and she and Jaylena are ok too. Sending lots and lots of love hugs and prayers daily to yall too. Again, be say and warm also. 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🙏🙏🙏It'll be good to have all the emergency supplies on hand in events like these in the home and in the vehicles. Those power battery generators, like Bluetti sure come in handy for times like the weather situations 😉👍

I spent December in Troutdale, Oregon. The cold is no joke. I now know how to keep myself and my pupper warm, but it is not easy. I totally admire your sense of adventure and that you film all of it, so that I can live vicariously through your trips. Be safe, amigo! ❤❤❤

Isaac.. when ever we'd use our camper I d turn the propane on then go to the stove and turn a burner on and then lite it. That would "load" your lines.

Oh dang! Well, I'm glad you got out of there without anyone having to come up there. 👍

Great video Isaac! So happy you made it home safely! Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️👶🏻🐱🐱❤️

why would you leave your family knowing a snow storm might come and what camper doesnt have a can opener and spare keys just show up not buying any of this

Glad you got the truck started and you got home safe

Glad you found a key i hope you put a spare back so you don't get yourself stuck again, check for keys when parking up.

Beautiful views and happy you are home.

I learned so much from this vid good job!

Dude, what a rough time. I'm glad you're ok. Thanks for sharing.

Isaac,Isaac Isaac. Thank goodness you made it home.

So good❤

Ooh my…don’t think I like winter ❄️ 🥶 camping!! Thank God JD & Mom put hide a key 🔑 🙏👏🤣 get home to your girls 😉🫶✌️

I'm curious, lol, who's flying the drone while you drive, those are some awesome views you are sharing with us, thank you! So I wrote this before I watched the whole video, wow, you had a rough time of it and now going home to more issues. I'm so glad you made it home safe and that you are there for the girls.

This film is so real~~~ love it. Haha

That is a lot of snow. I am glad you made it home safely. Nice video. That was an adventure. I really need to learn how to fly my drone.

A quicker way to purge your LP lines of air is to run your stove for a bit. Maybe make some water for a coffee/cocoa, that will give the lines plenty of time to properly pressurize.

Wow!!! It’s too much for me!!! Cold!!!❤

An interesting video...and it may be well that I'm seven days late to actually seeing it. I spent a couple of decades working for the specific Federal Land Management Agency Ranger District that manages Junction Sno-Park (which is where you were) and will politely point out that the Central Cascades Fire and EMS station was about 600 feet away from you across the Crescent Lake Road and that the highway that you were stressing about as you drove up to Crescent Lake Junction (Oregon Rte 58) was about 1800 feet away...and it's a few hundred feet more to the Sinclair station (which also has a very large convenience store where you probably got the pizza) and a very nice motel. That being said, many of the previous comments about assuring your gear is up to the task are well-taken and you should take them to heart. Safe travels and good luck in your future excursions...

That was impressive getting out of that much snow! Glad you were able to get out safely!!

You may be slightly out of your mind, Mr Turner. 😂 But …. Fun video, beautiful scenery, and interesting learning…. since it had a happy ending. Also glad the girls were so resourceful there at the homestead. ✌️❤️☃️

Life is a adventurer .live it .

Dang! It's pretty incredible. 😊 sure is beautiful. The snow on the trees is just georgous. I'm glad u were able to get out.

I watched a video with the same camper. the woman kept the tent part down when she went to bed. It was a smaller space to heat up and not as much heat loss throught the tent area.

Issac who is WE? When you first said we i thought you meant the whole family. You scared me. Lol Be safe my favorite family ❤❤❤

Enjoyed your video,learned a lot to repair yourself for the worst .

Omg Isaac that was stressful to watch 😮

Bottom line I’m glad you made it home safely.. What a video 🙏🏻💓 ~🤍

Putt W40 all around the doors windows 🔒 locks on your truck and camper😊 so they won't freeze 😊

Great job on this video. I love it when everything goes wrong but yet in the end all is well. Remember one is none when you’re out there. Always have a back up plan. That goes not only for you but your family at home. Be safe.

Omg! Someone send that man a can opener!!🤣😂

So glad h made it home to your family.

If it gets too cold to withstand, do you suppose the people in the cabin next door will invite you inside to get warm? 😉😁

Please stay safe and be careful getting out and going back home.

I thought you hotboxed the camper for a minute but I guess it was just the moisture on the lens 😂 glad you made it back safe to the fam!

New subscriber I came from your homestead video where the ice Strom hit and trees were falling glad you and your family are safe and thankfully you had that hide a key awesome video can't wait to see your next adventure

Great video. It’s funny to see you struggling moving from a bus to truck camper! I assumed they would be the same “living out of a vehicle” experience but your bus life seems much more luxurious than truck camper life. Be careful with your heat selection, I’ve watched several Canadian UKpostsrs absolutely struggling this year with heating especially diesel heaters.

Nice that you are doing UKpostss and you have the filming down. The camping part as far as being prepared needs a lot of work. You are learning the hard way but you will get there.

New to the channel….you have to be the most chill UKpostsr out there.

I was really worried about you getting out of there safely. Thank GOD your dad remembered there was a hide-a-key! Thanks JD!

I can't believe you went winter camping and didn't take cans of deicer with you to spray your locks, etc.

Lol @ leaving your baby+mama at home during a snow storm

Young man, I am glad that you are safe. I was just wondering why you would go out into a snowstorm, knowing that you had prior issues with the heating system in your truck camper? Lesson learned for the future.

Isaac!!!! THIS IS STRESSING ME OUT!!!! Please be safe. What is the desire to go out in a heavy storm in the middle of nowhere?!!! 😮😮😮😮😮

Putting silicon on your door gaskets will help keep them from sticking. I would take a small tarp with magnets and place over the door to keep the weather out of the doors. The hot water is not a real good idea as it can freeze almost as fast as it hits. Maybe a jackary with a heat gun could be something that might help in this situation. You always should have a hide a key. If you put in on the truck be sure that it is weather proof also. I really do not think that is best camper to use in these situations.

That's crazy how you figured out when/where you lost the key! So is it still there at the spot you were parked or did it fall inside?

Some good lessons here. Thanks for being willing to post your failures.

Isaac, have you gone loco? Snow storms like that are dangerous & not to be played with. See how big of a snowman you can actually build, there on your homestead complete with scarf, hat, coal eyes & see if it is still around come April 1st? ❤ 😊

Great video, Isaac! Life gives us "memories" that we will look back at & smile about one day. How do I know, this video brought back some crazy memories 4 me! Be safe young man!❤😊

So glad there was a spare key!! 🔑😆❤️🙏 Your honesty is one of your very best qualities!! Beautiful footage!

O My I'm just now receiving this video thru my notifications from 18 hours ago in Florida!! Woo goodness !! I'm glad I just seen Jaylena video with all of u safe in the camper truck 💖💖 however im going to finish watching this video to see how u get urself out of this mess LOL!!!

Good video Isaac I was a little concerned but then seen the roadway close by so I knew you wasn’t going to die lol😂

Looks very dangerous to me

Why are you out there and you crazy man what drove you to do this?

So much fun to watch a newbie winter car camper 😅 Hope you continue your videos so others can learn from your mistakes... as you get better and better 😉
