Winter CAMPING in a Weird Party Shack that I found on the Beach

[Applause] [Applause] [Applause] woo what's up everybody welcome back to the channel everybody in the last video asked for it so here I am I'm out in that uh party Shack hippie Shack whatever the heck this thing is I'm out in it I'm doing a solo overnight in this thing unfortunately I did not bring Killian with me he will be back on the channel he uh proved to be an excellent addition to the camps however it's going to get down into the low 20s tonight and I'm just camping under this thing which doesn't have a ton of wind protection so yeah I've got to be careful with Killian and um he he's still a bit green when it comes to the camping scenario so we're going to ease him in to uh more and more adventurous camps I've got some hot tent camps kind of planned and U so so so you will definitely see him again he'll be back soon however 42 night I am going to camp overnight in the shack I'm going to have myself a nice fire we're going to cook up a special dinner I'm going to see if I can help make a couple improvements to the shack or add to it in any way I'm going to use the Drone to try to get to two different camping spots but they are only accessible by boat which means that I will be using the canoe to get there so we're going to have ourselves some nice beers we're going to take it all in and enjoy nature but before I do any of that I've got to take a little nip off of the old B bana flask woo oh yeah goodness SS that is a monkey shoulder it's a scotch that I feature on the channel from time to time really love this stuff glad to have uh gotten through the rest of that fireball woo all right let's get into it now normally I would not leave things um in an area but especially not a public area um uh I try to follow a principle that is called leave no Trace um if you are familiar with it and you follow it good for you if you don't that means that when you're out in natural areas especially public areas um that's not your own private property um that when you go out there and you spend time then you should leave minimal evidence that uh you were out there and anybody could see it so you're not you're not impacting the the place um this place is built it's big it's not going anywhere so um I think it's probably bringing people uh a lot of Joy so we're going to make an exception um in this case yeah so I brought a hand Brom so that we can get uh some of the sandy stuff cleaned up here and um and I'm going to leave this behind so uh other people can use it [Music] too it's just such a big Improvement right away well that's a little bit of an improvement anyway I do need to take advantage of the daylight that I have left because I do have a limited amount of um daylight in order to be able to get this drone footage I can't fly that drone at night and I can't see anything at night so um yeah so we definitely want to do that uh but before I get into that any further I'm just going to show you a little bit of a tour around this place cuz it's super super cool so looks like somebody has put a tote under here um so that you can put your cans down here which means probably I'm guessing somebody's coming back and collecting these cans which is nice hopefully that is the case this thing is decorated it's like a Jimmy Buffet Paradise or something just really really cool looking I mean I got to give it to him some kind of flotation stuff and some ropes and stuff over here very cool um another tarp back here I I'm not planning on using it we'll see what happens some uh additional boards kind of laying around I don't know what people are doing with this Barrel um but it's here and then some other containers and different stuff um back here another uh flotation device off to the side let's go ahead and get that go ahead and grab that from out of the Bush there we'll go ahead and toss that into our go ahead and toss that in there where it belongs and then somebody has built up these big walls which is really cool that is just cool it's great and there's your view looking out on the lake TIY torch here and uh painting of a duck and then hats another TT torch another hat then some flotation stuff and some beads and everything of course don't want to forget what country you're in so yeah and then they've just done a really pretty good job of uh securing like a tarp roof over top and a tarp back and so we are going to be sleeping right around in here somewhere so I'm going to put that to the side for the night and then I'll put it back tomorrow [Applause] as you can see it's definitely quite [Applause] cold so yeah all right well ran into some issues with the Drone it's it's a lot of area to cover and um I already came out and tried to do this once and had to turn around and call it quits and reschedule low battery warning okay I already came out here once tried to do this and had to reschedule because I had some issues with the Drone I can definitely get some footage of the the area around my camp and around the shack and I can also um go ahead and come back at a later time and get this Drone footage I'm looking for and then I can insert it here and we'll go ahead and take a look at the spots that I was talking to you about about 1 and 1/2 miles east from the shore of the peninsula I'm camping on sits an uninhabited Island unfortunately this is as close as I could get with my drone this island has a rich and interesting history his it houses several abandoned buildings including a defunct Lighthouse interestingly a massive crane sits unused rusting on the Island's Shore because of the risk of hypothermia from capsizing potentially far from Shore I'd need to wait for warmer temperatures to Camp here alternatively in the opposite direction and quite close to the Shoreline is a small archipelago multiple uninhabited islands with small beaches is would make for a Scenic camp and give me plenty of area to explore from what I've heard people camp here regularly and some primitive structures have been built it's a favorite with local boers this archipelago has been on my bucket list for some time I couldn't tell if camping was technically allowed in either of these spots but that's never stopped me before at any rate we're going to camp in the shack we're going to have ourselves a nice night I'm going to cook up some great dinner and uh let's get back to Camp our next step here is going to be going ahead and getting a fin fire going because I'm hungry and I want to cook up some grub and I think the way I'm going to go ahead and add to this shelter is uh I'm going to just go ahead and build them up a nice um big pile of firewood so the next person who comes along uh has plenty of pre-processed firewood to work with not really supposed to burn plastic and cans and stuff like that um but that's okay we'll take this with us it is getting cold oh yeah that's why I didn't bring the dog tonight but don't worry you will see the dog soon enough don't you worry about that now somebody might want this so I'll go ahead and put it in this Bucket over here got a subscriber who sent this knife to me guy's name is George and uh it's a super super nice guy I I message with him in the patreon um but yeah very very cool um he saw that when I was in Washington I left my knife accidentally fell into the campfire and the the handle burned up and everything so um a very very nice very thoughtful uh gift from George so I figured the least I could do was um use it in the channel here so thank you George thank you very much I'll definitely put it to good use I appreciate that basically all this stuff was kind of left on top here which is fine we'll put it to use make good use of it for for yeah for it's a really cool area it's just not uh you know it's not really remote it's a mile and a half from the car and it is what it is it's a it's a fun place to spend a night for sure so this uh milk crate is uh empty it's not being used for anything so I'm going to go ahead and get this filled up with some uh kindling to start [Music] uh [Applause] sh let's try this again [Applause] freaking he okay woo you know that is a lot of firewood a lot of kindling but um yeah I just really touch by um how people kind of uh everybody seems to have come along and added little things to this and nobody's it down or you know I don't know been mean-spirited about it so just something about that is really nice to see I I don't know if I can articulate it exactly well but I wanted to add something to it so I brought a broom and I bought enough firewood that somebody else could easily Camp here overnight and not have to worry about it but now I need firewood on my own so yeah now I got to go get some more stuff and build this back up so I can cook I'm getting tired man but I'm also getting hungry so I need to eat it's time to cook all right Next Step let's get that fire built back up let's do it please tell me I was recording oh thank God all right well I'm waiting for that fire to become manageable I'm going to go ahead and uh give uh George's knife a little bit of a a run through and see how it works beautiful all right now I've never been particularly good at this and I don't think I'm going to be getting any good at it H it's not bad I mean it's not terrible yeah well um I never been the best at uh doing feather sticks um but but uh that seems to be a very very qualitative knife and uh thanks George also uh shouted him out before but dude named Larry another subscriber sent me this axe Hatchet I know people get people don't like it when you call a hatchet an axe but fun fact a hatchet is an axe that's meant to be welt in one hand so all hatchets are axes but not all axes are hatchets just a little fun fact for you anyway I am super super lucky do have a really really supportive subscriber base um both Larry and um George are members over at patreon um so I appreciate both both of you guys um very very much speaking a patreon I just um wrapped up um the second part of me and Mrs Banana's uh vacation Vlog um in Washington state we're in Olympic National Park go through through some rainforests those

it's it's crazy how beautiful that uh uh Western Washington is and that Olympic Peninsula so big big thank you to you guys and and um it's really important to me nobody should ever feel uh pressured

scale um this thing the way I do hang on a second the way I do meat is uh I bring it out Frozen um and then I just let it naturally thaw um over the day this I guess it's winter so it's it's frozen so we're going to put it somewhere close to the fire so it can get some ambient heat but not actually cook did I already say that I was doing uh chicken fajitas losing track of what I'm talking about jeez yeah probably could smell that food you ain't getting any w yeah [Applause] oh my God the veggies are frozen goodness sakes I don't know if I'm going to be able to cut that correctly we're definitely eating all of these there's no question about that I have no idea how this is going to go it's a frozen avocado if I lose the avocado if I run out of avocado if I ruin the avocado that is okay it's not the end of the world that is a victory W I did it I did it I did it baby come on chick baby do that chunk I know you can't control yourself any longer it's not the prettiest thing that's
