Description
I took my 2004 Subaru Forester into the city during a severe Winter Storm Warning to see if I could survive the night stealth camping without getting caught—or buried by snow plows.
With temperatures dropping to single digits and a city-wide parking ban in effect, finding a spot was a nightmare. In this video, I test my diesel heater setup against the freezing cold, deal with the anxiety of "The Knock," and try to stay hidden while the snow piles up around me. Is a Subaru Forester big enough for a blizzard? Let's find out.
The Forester: Built over a few years the 2004 Subaru Forester XS was built to test the limits of what is capable in an early 2000's Subaru with bolt-ons. Created for overlanding adventures it takes on the hardest offroad trails while having everything for camping. The Forester features: custom interior, rooftop tent, ARB rack with custom mounts, high clearance bumper, winch, Hella lights, transmission cooler, sway bar delete, offroad coilovers, AT tires, Beadlock wheels, overland kitchen and engine and trans skid plates. And to many people's surprise often keeping up with full-size 4x4s.
