00:45Today we're going camping and some of us are going survival camping in the wilderness of Alaska
01:28This is Kenai Lake here
01:58I
02:06Think if I hop on that seesaw you're gonna die
02:19Yeah
02:22Should we make a bridge
02:59Oh
03:13There we go hey guys all right guys you want to go across
03:28All right guys shall we explore
03:37Come on I need to find a spot to camp
03:47Well we've got lots of firewood lots of building material, I think this looks like a good place to build our shelter look at this
03:55An old door hinge, it's the heel to a boot that looks like a bit of a saw
04:08Come on boys
04:09We're gonna do a little camping here and my wife and sister are gonna be joining us
04:14Which is a special treat so I reserved some sites for them
04:18So we're gonna go ahead and get the campsite set up and get the boys fed
04:21And when they show up, then we are gonna go down the shores of the lake and do some survival camping
04:34Start gathering up firewood and put it in the back of the car
04:51See this see these chunks, and that's this cottonwood bark these burn really good
05:16All right, we got these diamond willows here we need to find a willow switch for hot dogs here
05:21Oh, there's a there's one
05:31I've got some ketchup
05:39There you go eat that up buddy
05:42Well we got a late lunch out of the way now I got to start making dinner got something special here
05:51Oh
06:10That fires kind of smoky I think I need a fan in a little bit
06:21Oh my goodness, there's a Nathan up there you're gonna be so covered in pine tar
06:36I've discovered over the years that diapers and pull-ups make excellent hot pads
06:41Mmm. All right, that looks perfect. That looks absolutely perfect
06:51Those tears are real people
07:11You guys show you a little bit of a diversity of approaches to camping here
07:15so I'm gonna try to go do the survival stuff Becca's gonna sleep in a tent with a cot and
07:21My sister Melanie is making an art form out of car camping. So you've got a Kia Soul here
07:26Which is I think a compact car
07:31You got these boxes these storage boxes
07:39Yeah, once I put my weight on it it's pretty flush
07:45My sister's six foot two and she can sleep stretched out in the back of a Kia Soul with a system
07:51So a couple boxes go a long way. We got a little foam mat
07:57You got an air mattress on top of your foam
08:01So you just barely under inflate a full-size air mattress and it fits just right. We'll check it out
08:07She's got this mosquito netting that goes over the doors so you can roll the windows down keep the bugs out
08:12a nice little lamp here
08:15Nice play room to sit a little pouch for her stuff. Well, it's pretty slick. This is pretty slick
08:42Quarter this thing up
08:45All righty, all right guys who wants some chicken
09:00Well, it's time for dessert and I brought marshmallows, but my sister also brought marshmallows
09:07Which one do you want?
09:11What do you guys got for dessert
09:13Hersey's I also brought lemon cookies
09:22Look at the difference in those one's a small planet and the other ones a marshmallow
09:31Did you just eat that entire chocolate bar
09:36Here's a lemon cookie for you
09:38Oh
09:42Yeah, you like that
09:46It's going inside is that your lemon cookie s'more it is
09:57Well guys we got about an hour before bedtime and I'm gonna go see if we can't pick some watermelon berries before bedtime
10:03Oh you find some Tom
10:05Well, that one's right. Definitely
10:09No, not many plant another berry bush. Oh my goodness
10:14Pretty sparse pickings. Look at right there. See that bush
10:20There's a bunch of them on there
10:22There's a watermelon berry plant right there
10:25We would not survive off of our foraging skills today. They got maybe 10 12
10:32I love you, baby
10:33Got some of this shelf life milk last a couple months without refrigeration until you open it at least
10:41There we go. Got some milk for Jacob
10:43Well, it's getting late and me and Jacob are gonna head off and go build our survival shelter now poor Jacob has
10:50Always wanted to come on these campouts and so very rarely gets to come
10:54So this is one where I think I can bring him pretty easily. So Jacob and me are gonna go out camping you excited, buddy
11:04All right, Jake you ready follow me
11:12All right, buddy you ready to cross the bridge
11:14All right. Let's see if we can do it
11:17So this one's gotten deeper
11:20There we made it. Oh
11:26You found it you found a fishing bobber
11:34What do you think can we camp here
11:48One bad thing about sleeping on beaches bears love to prowl up and down beaches, especially at night
11:53So we're gonna keep the bear maze handy
11:56First thing we do we measure the space we need
12:08Inflate the air mattress first, so I know what size to make the shelter. That's my template
12:25I
12:55Think we got room got a little shelter bill. Jake seems to be digging it time to get into your jammies
13:01Well tonight, we're gonna try out a new sleeping quilt. I got the boys. It just arrived in the mail
13:06I think enlightened equipment makes this thing
13:08But it's really soft and it's super light and we're gonna see if Jacob likes it
13:13I think he's gonna love it. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it
13:17He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it
13:20He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it
13:22It's super soft and it's super light and we're gonna see if Jacob likes it
13:27Okay
13:29Got these adhesive hand warmers here
13:31We're gonna slap those
13:33Thank you
13:35There you go
13:37Yeah, you look cozy
13:39There's tickle holes in here
13:41Look at this, this is great
13:48Jacob are you having fun?
13:50You are full of energy
13:52How many marshmallows did you eat?
13:54You ate a ton of marshmallows
14:00It's bed time
14:20Well gosh darn it Jacob did pretty good last night
14:22He woke up around 2 complaining about something
14:24And I think it was the adhesive warmers
14:26I don't know
14:28I don't know
14:30I don't know
14:32I don't know
14:34I don't know
14:36I don't know
14:38I don't know
14:40I don't know
14:42I don't know
14:44I don't know
14:46I don't know
14:48I think it was the adhesive warmer on his back
14:50Got a little too hot
14:52So I took that off and snuggled him up
14:54And he seemed to do really well after that
14:56But it's kind of cold
14:58It's about 40 degrees right now
15:00That fire feels really good
15:02What a beautiful morning
15:04I wake up in my sleeping bag and open my eyes
15:06And I see this
15:08I hear loons calling
15:10Occasional trout jumping right off there
15:12Got a roaring fire going
15:14To keep the cold away
15:17Man this is nice
15:19This is really nice
15:21I'm just going to sit and take this in for a bit
15:46I'm just going to sit and take this in for a bit
16:16I've got some steel cut oatmeal here
16:18This is the good stuff
16:47If you're not a fan of oatmeal
16:49It's probably because you're eating instant oatmeal
16:51Try real steel cut oatmeal
16:53You'll never go back
16:58Now I could be cooking this
17:00By just laying it straight on the coals
17:02But when you want to simmer something
17:04And adjust the temperature a little more
17:06Something like this works pretty darn well
17:16I'll get some more
17:28Well there's something substantial
17:30Making noise in the woods behind me
17:32Just to keep that close
17:38Now the squirrels are going bonkers
17:40Yeah now the squirrels are making their little warning chatter
17:42They don't do that for moose normally
17:44They don't do that for moose normally
17:50I'm not too worried about the bears that can see us
17:52It's the bears that get surprised that scare me
17:54I can hear sticks snapping
17:56Pretty big ones over there
17:58Now it's moving over there
18:10There we go
18:12Good
18:16Alright nice dab of butter
18:18There we go
18:40Hey Jake
18:42Hey Jake
18:48I got a fire over there
18:50You want to warm up by the fire?
18:52Come on out of the tent
18:54And I'll get you some food ok?
18:56I got some oatmeal for you
18:58Well he's not coming out
19:00Gotta go in after him
19:04Hi Jake
19:06Sit down
19:08That's nice and warm isn't it
