Snow Camping In A Hot Tent

All right we need to go set up the trail cam real quick. Oh man I had no clue that it snowed up here. It's always an adventure that's for sure. Hopefully we can make it to our campsite. We'll just take it nice and slow. Nice and slow. I think it's all going to melt off later on. All right you guys we made it out to this spot here. I'm just kind of scouting it out right now. I'm not really sure where we're going to want to put the tent. This rain that's coming down right now is not very nice. It's kind of like just annoying. So I'm thinking down here. I don't know how level it is though. That's the problem. We've got a lake back there so I wouldn't mind being able to see the lake but an ideal location is better than a view. So I'll make sure there's no trees that'll fall on me or anything like that. It's always an adventure trying to figure out what you're going to do. All right so I've got the tent all pegged out. Now all we got to do is pitch it. And actually I have something really cool to show you guys. It's called the automatic tent pitch. All you got to do is hit the up and down arrow and it goes up and it goes down. It's genius. So you got to go up and you can go down down up down up. Look at that thing. Oh that's awesome. And just like that our tent is pitched. That was easy. Now don't go stealing my ideas. I'm getting it cleaned out in here. It is gonna be a mess when I get this thing heating up. It's already starting to warm up out here so things are melting fast. Oh it's gonna be a mud pile in here. So there's the stove. I've got it all set up. Now I just got to get my bed set up here. It's just magical out here right now. I can't get over it. The sun keeps popping out. The clouds are forming different shapes. There's blue skies. Wow this is what a day. What a day. I can't believe it. What I need to do is I need to find some logs. I need to find something that I can put my firewood on because it's going to get soaked inside the tent. I did bring firewood this time because it's been raining and I figured I was not going to be able to find dry wood. I bought some wood at the store you know. Making life easy on myself. Hope you guys don't mind. But I need to find something that I can put the wood on so it'll stay off the ground. Hopefully we can do that. Wow. No way. So pretty. Unbelievable. Kind of looks like a face right there. That's weird. That's definitely kind of creepy. Oh I love the snow. The snow is just so cool. Pretty. So pretty. I bought my own wood uh and I got a cot and two mattresses. I'm just practical. I like to camp and I like to be comfortable. So if that's that's your thing that's your thing. But yeah that's what you guys are going to see on this channel. A little bit of comfort. You'll see a little bit of fun bushcraft stuff but not a ton because I'm learning. So it's currently 34 degrees. I don't know what the temperature is supposed to be like tonight but it was cold enough to snow. Might get colder. So we're doing street tacos. I got some flank steak in here. We're gonna throw in some ingredients. We've got some oil and some soy sauce. Pour that in. Cumin. Brown sugar. We've got some garlic. Throw in some cilantro and then we'll do a squeeze lime. Super easy. We'll let that marinate for about I don't know a half an hour or so. Oh that's gonna taste so good. I wish you guys could smell it. Smell-o-vision someday right? All right. I love street tacos. I love steak tacos. I love tacos. I love burritos. I can't say it's my favorite food because in the last video I said pizza was my favorite food. But there's something about a taco that just it like warms my heart. Okay that's silly. But it's tasty. I love them. Oh this steak is so good. You guys got to try this marinade. It's awesome. I'll leave a link down below. All right let's retire to the tent. We'll get this stove going. Oh man. It's getting cold. It is 32 degrees currently. So it's time to get this fire started. Make it nice and hot in here. So I put together this little fire kit here. I think it works pretty good. I've got matches, bellow, lighter, magnesium fire starter, and a ferro rod, and my striker. And then I also have my charcloth can right here which I went ahead and made a bunch more when I was at home. So I can attempt to keep at least trying it. But tonight we're gonna just use tumbleweed. Little pieces of smaller wood in there. Okay hopefully we will have a good fire going here in a minute. That's some really dry wood so it should just take up real quick. Because I needed to warm up in here. Man it's cold. I was not expecting these temperatures today you guys. I thought maybe I was gonna have a little bit of rain on this video. I didn't think I was gonna get snow though. It's what makes an adventure an adventure you know. You don't know what's gonna happen. You just don't. And I think that's the fun part of it. Oh yeah she's going. I'm gonna open her up and I'm actually gonna fill them a little more. Add a little more wood to it too. Well if you guys are interested in this little kit that I have. I picked it up on Amazon real cheap. Super cheap. Actually it was for the bellows. It came with four bellows and then it came with this little pouch. So I just kind of turned it into my fire kit. Um that bellows that I made out of that selfie stick in one of my last videos kind of fell apart on me. So yeah if you're interested in this you can check it out in the description down below. Just like all the things that I usually use I put down there. That thing got hot. Really hot. This isn't titanium either. This is a stainless steel I believe. It always makes me a little bit nervous when I see uh pipes like that glowing red. We're gonna try a little jiffy pop. Hopefully I don't burn it. I don't even know the last time I tried to do this. I guess we'll find out as long as I can read the instructions. Because uh the last thing that I hadn't done kind of messed it up. Lift tab to open. Trying to get this all the way out of here. Maybe there's instructions on this backside. Do not remove this tab. Okay place pan on burner. When sizzling sound is heard continuously shake pan in very fast circular and back and forth motion until foil is fully expanded. Oh man I think I can do that. My hand's getting tired. It's working. It's working. I think we have popcorn. We've got popcorn. Hey not bad. It popped it pretty well. Oh man that's good. I haven't had jiffy pop in like I don't know. I don't even remember the last time I had it. That's a perfect little snack right there. Super easy to do. That's hot wood. It burns really well. Really well. A little smoky. All right we need to go set up the trail cam real quick and gotta pick a tree. Yeah probably this one. Okay so I kind of put it low just because we're kind of on a hill here. So hopefully we'll be able to see the tent. Go ahead and turn it on. Now I went ahead and put some new batteries in here and it takes eight of them. Eight batteries. A ton of batteries. So we should be good to go now. It's been giving me some problems but I just think it was the batteries. All right so the trail cam is all set up. So we'll just take a look at it real quick. Show you guys what it looks like. There we go. Who knows maybe we'll see some deer or maybe a bigfoot. Excuse me. Oh oh pardon me. Oh it is getting hot. I'm shedding layers. Shedding layers and getting ready for bed you guys. I should have plenty of wood for the rest of the night. I probably won't I probably won't let it go all night but we'll see. We'll see what happens. All right everybody I'm gonna probably watch a movie and head to bed. I'll see y'all in the morning. Good morning. Man it is beautiful out here. So beautiful. Man the lake looks awesome. You got the sun coming through. Oh it's bright. Feels so good to have the sun out though I'll I got cold last night. I got really cold. I didn't keep the fire going. I should have. I definitely should have but I wouldn't have had enough wood for this morning because I need it for some cooking. But man look at this place. Oh I love the crunch of the snow and oh it looks so cool. Just awesome. Just awesome. I was thinking about doing a little bit of fishing real quick but I don't know if it's a good idea to try to go down there. I would hate to slip on my way down and there's no other real way to get down there. Just that trail. Maybe I'll venture down there real quick and see if we can catch a fish. I've got my fishing gear. I don't really have much but I've got some stuff. We'll see how treacherous this is to get down there. Oh good there's no snow on this section. We've got another big section to do. Wow that's pretty. This isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I say that now but watch I'll slip and fall. Oh hey look a rope swing. Oh man I don't know that I'd do that one. All right well I'm just going to be fishing with this little HD trout. I'm actually going to pinch the barbs because I'm catching release right now. Just doing it for fun. I'd love to catch a fish if I can. I'm going to change locations. Maybe they're maybe they're out over there by the sun getting nice and warm because it is cold. Okay so when the water is up high this is actually a waterfall. I'll have to come back in the spring when there's a water runoff. I bet it looks really cool but for now I guess I'm going to be able to cross. Yeah I bet that's crazy cool looking. What a workout. If I could do that every day I'd be in shape in no time. Fresh coffee grounds always taste better I think. I mean this is probably one of my favorite pieces of the kit. My coffee grinder. Need that coffee in the morning. Lord there's so many prayer requests that I have Lord even from just this YouTube channel and I just want to raise them up to you. I pray that your will will be done in each and every one of Lord you're just so awesome and and I just thank you for this beautiful day and this beautiful place. Bless this food to my body in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Oh boy guys that omelet turned out really well. Let's see what it looks like on the inside real quick. Oh yeah look at that. That's an omelet right there. Oh it looks delicious. That's simply amazing. Simply amazing. Some of my favorite ingredients right there and that Gouda cheese. I love Gouda. A little bit of coffee too. It's nice and warm going down to the belly sitting out here looking at these views drinking coffee eating an omelet. Breakfast was awesome. So awesome. Now what's left to do is pack up and get out of here. I need to create an app for that you know just just hit the button and everything just kind of disassembles and goes away. That would be nice. Well I appreciate you guys watching. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. A little bit surprising to see the snow honestly but it was a lot of fun. Definitely created some challenges that's for sure. So I don't want to make you guys watch me tear everything down. Don't you feel lucky? Once again thank you guys for watching. God bless and I'll see you in the next video.
