Surrounded By Coyotes - OffGrid Cabin Adventure

foreign [Music] [Music] foreign my friends welcome to this episode of the outdoor gear review I hope you all are doing well I want to take a second here and welcome you to Lone Wolf Mountain my piece of Paradise in the mountains of North Carolina for this trip we are out here at the cabin the weather is beautiful it's warm but the humidity is low for the rest of the day we're in the shade and as the sun goes down it's going to cool down it'll be the perfect time for us to sit around the fire the first thing that I'm going to do is open up some windows and some vents then I'm going to charge some lights the last time that I was out here folks I was doing a gear testing trip during that trip I went through every single Lantern and I didn't have time to charge them so if I don't charge them now I'll have no light later so I guess I better do that the last trip I was out here was maybe four weeks ago something like that luckily on my phone I keep notes of everything so this was fresh on my mind charged those lamps are you all like that do you keep like a list of notes I personally keep track of everything otherwise I would without a doubt forget stuff foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Applause] my friends the weather conditions today are fantastic right now 72 degrees low humidity it feels incredible there's a slight breeze it is absolutely perfect in other words after a very long wet summer it is finally time for us to get a dry period here in the mountains so the forecast is for like the next two weeks no rain I don't even remember the last time we had such a long period Without Rain while it's dry I'm going to enjoy it that's for sure foreign all right my friends it is coffee time cheers everyone cheers let's see how this is it's hot but it's fantastic just like the weather it is a really really nice day the last real nice day for probably a good week or so the forecast coming up is just hot hot and hotter the high today was 75 tomorrow 82 the next day 85 and up it's going to be hot the hottest weather of the year and maybe even record-breaking for this time of year generally as we're going into like the end of August we begin to cool down that's not going to happen not this year talking about the weather everybody this year has been crazy just absolutely crazy if you've been watching all of the adventures from the summer you know that we've been through two tornado warnings tornado warnings up here in the mountains are incredibly rare filming Adventures I've been in two tornado warnings but it goes further than that the other night I was asleep it was about 1 30 alarms start going off a tornado warning had been issued I got up put some clothes on stepped outside looked at the sky and it was just non-stop flashing a tornado dead touchdown it went I think about two and a half miles the wind speeds Peak at 105 miles and I believe it was like 105 feet wide luckily there was no damage at my house nothing like that nobody experienced any damage with us being up here in the mountains there's not many people so luckily some trees got damaged and that was it nonetheless though it's definitely been a crazy year as far as weather goes [Music] the temperatures this year have been below normal it really hasn't been as hot as it usually is in the summertime I guess that's why it's warming up now it's time to equalize things I don't know I'm not sure if it's because of the temperatures but something about this year really has brought out the snakes I've seen more snakes this year than I have in a long time and I've seen a wide variety of snakes as well black rat snakes Racers we have black racers here in North Carolina milk snakes water snakes ringnecks garter snakes it seems like just about every single time I've come out here to Lone Wolf Mountain I've come across a huge racer no snakes man I think it'd be so long I mentioned this in a previous episode when you come across a black snake that's like seven foot long it's startling right it doesn't matter if you're afraid of snakes or not and it's not like I'm just seeing snakes here at Lone Wolf Mountain but all over the place at home out on trails just lots and lots of snakes which is a good thing I'm glad to see him everything has a job everything has a role it's definitely not a bad thing a few weeks ago I put up an episode where I was out here at Lone Wolf Mountain I was basically doing a truck Camp over here in that episode I went out got my trail cams and I shared with you all the footage from those trail cams that's where you all got to see that this is the Lone Wolf Mountain Zoo we had bucks eight pointers we had spikes we had baby deer coyotes black bear we had a black bear cub and a more mature adult we had raccoons possums Bobcats so on and so on lots and lots of animals without a doubt this has been a busy year for Animals as well this is kind of funny I I didn't mention this but I should have it was a few months back I was filming a storm Adventure over the mountain here on the hill that was the first tornado warning right so we get the tornado warning the tent leaks all that good stuff I decided to come here to the cabin to stay the night because the tent was full of water so basically I hacked over the hill was coming up here that's when I encountered a baby skunk my first thought was like oh my God I do not want to get sprayed by this skunk anyway I just walked around it no big deal I get closer to the cabin and what do you know there's another skunk she ran away but then turned around and got some courage it was coming back towards me that's when I hopped inside of the cabin I just went to sleep so that was pretty funny yeah there's just so much Wildlife here at Lone Wolf Mountain there's animal sign all over this mountain Bear Tracks bobcat tracks deer tracks there's bear poop over there and along with all of that there's a ton of coyote sign I've seen tracks poop I've even come across kill sites they're definitely active this year as well and they're active here at Lone Wolf Mountain we definitely have quite a few on this property oh foreign it's been a few days since it's rained folks and already everything here is just bone dry listen to that that is a nice thing about going through a dry period is all of the dry firewood that is something that I'm not accustomed to here in the mountains because it's so wet basically all year round having dry wood is such a luxury the sun's going down we'll be down in about about two hours or so right before the sun goes down we'll get the fire going and even before that we'll make dinner make dinner and get all of our chores done before it gets dark by the way folks if you've been wondering about my foot injury and how it's doing I have some good news to report all in all it's doing very well it's not perfectly healed but hey it's good enough just in case you're not aware sometime back maybe four or five months ago I began having an issue with my left foot namely with the heel so I went to a doctor I was diagnosed with plantar fascitis and some like torn ligaments in my heel after talking to you all about it I've begun trying different types of Remedies some of them helped some of them did not the biggest difference came with a pair of shoes a pair of shoes specifically designed for plantar fascitis these shoes come from a company called Kuru and they are fantastic folks they really are if you're having any sort of issues when it comes to plantar fascitis make sure to check out this company and these shoes that sounds like a product plug but it's not Susie found these shoes we purchased these our own money no sponsorships nothing like that but these shoes are incredible I could wear these shoes and I can go out hiking all day long and I'll have no issues at all they really are that good it's because of these shoes here that Susie and I were able to go out to Hawaii to hike the tallest mountain in the world I was very concerned about that trip but it was something that I needed to do not only for myself because I really really wanted to but because it was a testing grounds for what's coming up next I didn't want to fly all the way to Japan to find out that I couldn't hike that mountain so Hawaii's just a little bit closer so that's where we went first luckily with these shoes I was able to do it and folks the foot is getting better it really is to everyone who wrote in with ideas and suggestions I really do appreciate it cheers my friends cheers thank you so much for all that you do for me I I really do appreciate it guys and gals I will be honest everybody when I was packaging all of this up at home that sure looked like a whole lot more broccoli than it really is there's like eight pieces of broccoli here and that's it foreign foreign [Applause] my friends it is time for dinner what I have here is some broccoli with Caesar dressing I have a cheeseburger with tomato that has queso on top and burger sauce on the side that's pretty funny isn't it I have to say hey it is what it is right in the end I know this is going to taste incredible I just wish I had more of it let's start with the broccoli and let's see how that is the broccoli is amazing folks the odd jar it will be better than the cheeseburger that is incredible now I wish I made maybe two or three of these as you all can see I've messed up on this trip as soon as I had the first bite I just had to keep on going I couldn't talk and I can't talk now I didn't know I was this hungry until I started eating but man this is good mm-hmm foreign as you all can see it's getting dark it's about 8 16 right now it is 66 degrees and sitting next to this fire this is fantastic it's really nice as you all can see here with the smoke it's going straight up and that's because there's not much of a breeze it's not quite still but it's close again luckily the temperatures aren't that bad so this is rather comfortable [Music] people ask me all the time what is it like living in the Appalachian Mountains right in the heart of Appalachia the topic of Deliverance gets brought up from time to time I can tell you all that none of that stuff exists you know there there may be some like remote sections maybe in Georgia maybe up in Virginia somewhere but at least here in North Carolina you don't have to worry about that sort of stuff the simple fact is is that Civilization really has been moving into the mountains so to speak there aren't that many areas that are considered remote anymore like there was when I was a kid when I was a kid there was plenty of places that you simply could not go for like safety's sake where people were not welcome but that's not the case anymore everything's just developed people have become more civilized less remote [Music] I think one of the most interesting things taking place over the last couple of years has been the influx of new people namely from large cities so you have all of these people escaping the cities they want a different type of Lifestyle let the locals fear the most is change it will be interesting to see what the mountains are like in 10 or 15 years along with all this new money you have new ideas different political affiliations so it'll be interesting to see see how things change hopefully all that makes this area so special isn't being sold you know what I mean [Music] well I tell you what folks it's getting so dark here you all won't be able to see me much longer so I'm going to kick back enjoy this fire and I'll bring you all back when I go inside the cabin [Music] [Applause] [Music] there's a ton of coyotes over here and they're fairly close too [Music] [Music] well everybody I think now that the fire's dying out I'm out of wood and I'm surrounded by Coyotes I think I'll go in sounds like a good idea [Music] it is now 10 o'clock it's about time for me to go to bed my plan is to get up rather early that way I can enjoy the sun coming up and get out of here before it gets too hot again it's supposed to be like 82 tomorrow and the humidity is going up the truth is today was the perfect day out here at Lone Wolf Mountain I mean like 75 degrees a nice little breeze low humidity perfect just absolutely perfect I mentioned a little while ago that we have about two weeks of no rain and that's on top of basically one week without rain as well based upon the current conditions and the forecasted conditions it's definitely going to be dry out there I mean you all saw how easy it was for me to get that fire going all I had to do is just take one match right to it and it took off very very simple what I fear is that we're going to have really dry conditions for numerous weeks then we'll get hit by one of those tropical systems if I'm not mistaken there's five systems in the Atlantic right now with three that could potentially come this way it's about to get interesting everybody no doubt about it anyways folks I'm going to kick back for a little bit listen to the sounds of the forest listen to the coyotes by the way we are absolutely surrounded you might be able to hear them still they're howling like crazy out there yeah I love it all right everybody I'll bring you all back before I go to bed [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] well my friends it is now 11 40. it's time for bed I'll tell you what it's actually getting a little bit cool I'm ready to hop underneath this blanket it's kind of funny to say in August but the humidity today is just so low so it's like a real dry air so it's quite a bit cooler than normal since I saw you all last I just been inside of the cabin here doing some reading and I've been listening to the coyotes all night long they've been howling all around us it's pretty funny now that I'm thinking about it I can't say I've ever heard of anyone being attacked at least in an area like this every once in a while you will hear like something crazy happening more times than not with those crazy situations that you may hear of oftentimes it's rabies that's the cause that's the reason why it's so crazy anyways folks it is time for me to go to bed I'm ready to get wrapped up in the blanket so I will say good night thank you foreign good morning everyone good morning it is 8 o'clock and right now it is 55 degrees and it feels incredible I slept great last night nice and cool quiet never heard anything except for the coyotes like all night long coyotes instead of making Cowboy coffee this morning let's use the coffee maker let's make it nice and easy foreign good morning my friends good morning cheers let's try the coffee smells incredible and it is incredible that is really good stuff right there sun is coming up it's a beautiful day the forest is alive as soon as I got up this morning I was hearing you know you know all the typical stuff but I was also hearing like some of the trees clacked together and moisture hit the ground that could be our black bear friend that's out here or black bear friends maybe definitely slept great Susie's up already she's been sending me messages she's been going after the scammers who are on YouTube and on Facebook so that is something that we should talk about folks on YouTube Facebook other social platforms there are people out there who are trying to take advantage of you and they will impersonate myself or if you're on another Channel someone else so these people will ask your name how long you been a subscriber how long you've watched the channel then they'll tell you because you're such a great viewer they're going to give you an iPhone or an iMac or a Macbook or maybe even a tent who knows the thing is this folks it's a complete lie it's a complete scam they're from China or Africa or something like that who knows the thing is this do not give them any of your information do not give them any of your money pay close attention you can always tell that these accounts are scams there is only one real me the outdoor gear review and you'll see that by the check mark on YouTube on Facebook if you see an account that says the outdoor gear review click on it see how many followers it has if it has six it's not me right if you have further questions shoot me an email and I will address those for you I just want to mention all of this folks so you do not get scammed so many people have so many people have sent them money not even questioning why I would be giving away iPhones and stuff like that everyone be smart be smart I don't know why this just popped into my head but yesterday I was talking about my foot injury right so since I started talking about that maybe like four months ago I have heard from you know some amazing viewers with great ideas on how to take care of it I've also heard from people who are like out in space one person told me that my foot was hurting because I had gotten so big that's an interesting Theory off base but plausible I guess the other one is this woman she told me that there's plastic in the air that we're breathing in and like I was breathing in past stick and it went through my mouth into my lungs and somehow into my foot so yeah laughs that happened everyone I'm in trouble something about that seems impossible or is what was that kid on The Simpsons that's unpossible does anyone even watch The Simpsons anymore I guess it's still long I haven't seen it since I was a kid back then it was funny I wonder if it's funny now comment down below let me know in regards to the scammers because we are the legit outdoor group review there are things that we can do to these people which we've begun doing so already we've had numerous accounts taken down stuff like that when one disappears another comes back and it just keeps on going with that being said though it does look like YouTube is getting a handle on the whole scammer thing anytime that you all tell me that there's like an impersonator I go look and they're gone and that means that either you all are reporting them and they're disappearing or YouTube is doing it either way it looks like the issue is being handled but that doesn't mean that they're not present so one final time be careful you all work way too hard for your money to give it away to some scammer piece you know what I mean anyways my friends there are a few more things that I want to talk with you all about before saying goodbye the first one that I need to touch upon here are some shout outs real quick so Bill thank you so much for what you've done I'm not going to say it on camera but he went above and beyond and I really do appreciate it I'm not sure if he would want me to say anything so I'm not going to but Bill thank you so much I really really appreciate you buddy what you've done could literally be a lifesaver and I appreciate it mark thank you so much for the Australian camping food the steak meal looks awesome I can't wait to try that I may try that later on this week Marie and Roy thank you so much for the bug repellent and the sunscreen out here at Lone Wolf Mountain I definitely need both Mike from Ireland thank you so much for the coffee Mike from Michigan thank you so much for the coffee my buddy Mike thank you so much for the knife I really do appreciate you buddy shade Lisa thank you so much for the coffee I really do appreciate it and Tom thank you so much for the cordage the tensioners and so on you are the man thank you so much pal talking about the next camping trip if you saw last week's episode I went out for a hammock hang so I went out into the forest there was a low chance of storms and as soon as I got to the top of the mountain out in the middle of nowhere severe thunderstorm warning tornado warning wind rain thunder lightning it was on it ended up raining All Night Long at one point in time the rain was completely horizontal my hammock ended up getting soaking wet in the end that trip was ruined as far as a good hammock Adventure goes so my plan is to go out for one without a tornado in it that would be nice another point to talk about is Bento that's the Japanese Land Cruiser that I purchased I've had a lot of people asking about it where is it did I sell it did I sell it yes I did I sold it Susie did not like the Land Cruiser because it was right side drive I have to admit it took a long time to get accustomed to it I got accustomed to it enough where I could drive it but there were times where that definitely made me nervous especially on the small narrow country roads out here like some roads that was scary as hell to be honest I mean like you're right there on the edge you can't see the line and then on this side like if you're not really paying attention you could easily go over it so yeah I mean you just had to basically Ride The Edge it was intense at times anyways I completely understand why Susie didn't like it and because she didn't like it I sold it I ended up selling it to a viewer I hope you enjoy it my friend have a good time with it talking about Land Cruisers did you all see the newest one the latest Toyota Land Cruiser that was just announced it is sweet and for the first time in a long time they're priced reasonably for a long time in the United States the Land Cruiser has been a luxury automobile that cost like a hundred and twenty thousand dollars and up which of course makes no sense but this year they've actually brought the price down to a more reasonable level I'll tell you what my friends the sun is about to peek the top of the trees here and already it is warming up 82 degrees today something like that it's gonna be warm because of that I'm going to say goodbye thank you so much for joining me for this trip I really do appreciate it I will see you on Sunday and
