CAR CAMPING by the LAKE | SUZUKI JIMNY 4x4 Off-road Adventure to Mapanuepe Lake, Zambales

Drove the pocket off-roader -- our Suzuki Jimny, across the lahar terrain in order to experience the highly coveted campsite that is Mapanuepe Lake.

Before anything, I would like to thank all the new subscribers of the channel -- thank you very much for your support, for watching my camping videos. I've picked up this habit of checking my stats daily and it never fails to make me smile every time a single person decides to subscribe. Each of you I genuinely appreciate. That said, I apologize for the no upload in over a month. This camping trip happened about a month ago and it took me awhile to edit it. Well, took me awhile to just sit down, face the computer and start editing. We all have our personal battles. Anyway, it's here and if you've already watched it -- thank you. Please don't forget to click on the Like button before leaving. 😅 It sure helps a lot.

A few notes on the trip, or the video -- I don't know. I'm not good with description, and I tend ramble a lot. So let's keep this short. I've pretty much said what I have to say in the video, and as always if there's anything you want to ask or tell me you are more than welcome to drop by the comments below. That's one thing I check daily as well and I do find time to reply -- funny how my replies are too long at times even my wife and I find it funny to an extent. Well, I don't get a lot after all so I am able to reply.

This was by far the toughest video to get done, for some reason. Maybe because a bit of time has passed and the memory of it wasn't fresh anymore so I wasn't really feeling it at times. I don't know. But then again, done is better than perfect and perfection does not exist. Perfection is subjective after all. But I tried, and again I hope it was worth your time. Enough rambling. If you're reading this, please say hello in the comments. 😅 I want to know if any of you takes the time, or else I'm just rambling for no reason. But anyway, doesn't matter. Sometimes, we just need to ramble away our thoughts in order to take some load off our heads. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess.

Anyway, as always -- Thank You for watching!
