yeah seriously here I get up and I walk over and I'm looking around and I'm like wow once I got tornado came through here and then I saw the top-maul balled up and totally stuck in there it was brutal and I was underneath it's like carving a spoon or something figure those down it was you know 3:00 in the morning or whatever like usual another night always always I love kill the rain put me a little bit yeah I was just checking on checking on soap o'clock I don't know baby you might not way you're standing it's kind of diffused but yeah this is pretty thick woods to tell you I don't see any stars above us it's definitely cloud con-5 I can hear you hear the ring I can hear it I love it I love when it's like white ring the best to be between the woods man I love you can't that down yeah well something just chain will be rolling sure just sitting here on the fire like we have tonight having a couple drinks and I happen to look behind me and full moon and come up in that yeah that whole woods behind us there was just lit up it was like a parking lot you know come on he's unbelievable thanks for having us man no thanks for coming first time why'd you finally get down here yeah first time at this can't come to us yeah you know fire poker I never really got when he had been kind of searching without really searching they're kind of sitting around moving ahead a bunch more wood yeah pretty well gone through all I used to have a big stack sure five boxes yeah I tend to use an open pit because you can only use fire with the size of the width or your head that's true and I just hate cutting stuff to fit inside a circle of stuff just totally just lay it on top that's pretty much what I do like my little fire brazier at home it's like a little table that you put a fire and you know I felt after two up up with dirt so at least it's real instead of a metal ball this has dirt for the embers but uh that's like for the best porch you know for the family whatever and it's like a foot and a half I swear side to side yeah two foot on the diagonal for me to burn anything I have to buck it up with my saw like 16 inches it's just so tedious and frustrating just the like cut up a bunch of wood small pieces of inside a little hole I don't know where you got all this rocks maybe they're big were they just laying around this area yeah so am i dug out of the show would you use a little metal bar to climb up yeah that's what we used to do when I used to install fences for people to get it oh yeah use your that black probably ridiculous things up you get two of them you and your buddy you can pry up rocks or just dumb

yep yeah I used to work for a landscaping company and by somebody I knew pretty much the company was mean the owner and we used to install trees and used to build custom waterfalls and custom patio it was all sorts of stuff and you know ponds for koi fish the whole bit and we used to always have pry bars in the back of the truck because whenever you want to put in a tree you got to dig it down four feet you gonna run into rocks you need to run to big rocks and that tree has to go in that spot unless there's like something that's totally ridiculous then you move it but that's like I think we moved to one tree like the whole time I worked in like every every tree I think I think we changed the plans like it once and then need to go talk to the owner and explain you know and because it was legit was like that's it but you got to bring in big machinery you know get a jackhammer like whatever it's a job now if you want to do that that's fine that's an alcohol that's the most ask them it will be X Y Z well we can just move the tree over like three feet there's already tested and it's freshly thing look they're like Oh same price not your money yeah go ahead and do that I don't need it there it's not that big of a deal yeah but you got some big boys in here man good stuff

that fires going good now man it worked out just tweaking them a little bit it's nice to be out here that's the last time I was out to see I was out that Saturday again raised for the back that's right yeah

yeah Gary find a lady slipper I love you daddy doing quite a hammock rig bug net underquilt nice and comfy huh well get a rug in that thing awesome so those DD hammocks DD hammocks

I'm running like LT 10th I need some my Jam's Oh awesome improving your candle collection you blow into it and it stays like that on me

yes that's crazy it is I've had this thing for years I'm still working great nothing we wrap it up in a shemagh and just comfy comfy comfy plus I can adjust how firm or soft I want it to you know this is a good one it's the blanket that's a jungle the jungle blight jungle sleeping bag yep the only thing is it's get it up it's too tight and shoulders it wants the yeah why didn't you buy the same by the same company yeah no actually I think that's from smug pac see it a sleeping bag in there as well got you yeah I think this is from smoke pack that's a we're running pull her bag that that that's the rocket pack by snow pack joins 40s I don't think four years that's a 70 liter [Music]

it was made for po force yes it's like that but I think that's what makes it yeah I think you're right it's a roughly about a 40 degree bag sausages all right yeah [Music]

because according out like this like city like that but it okay I'll trade you my clean ones to dirty one true that we have a hash brown accident did we to them

good sausages yeah sadly they got a little crunchy but probably would have been better without all the crunch but they settle down when I coach anymore dad like a maple leaf undertone yeah

safe at tribal maple eat and they're like old smugglers you're like a little alright the throttles what you just pulled up so right but the stuff is burning the bottom just leave it there that's it oh yeah huge chunk you sure [Music]

[Music]

it's reddish-brown

and a banana break vast dr. works and spell break I've always wondered about it like people working there are a lot of breakers right kind of like recess whatever it's a lot of very cool school where we get to take it fast so it's like nine minutes or something Isis oh boy what people do is as words get more mature used more yes look like they changed how to pronounce well sometimes they do it right away instead of frigid air what frigid means cold right frigid its frigid it's frigerator its frigid right so they changed as anyways like Frigidaire that company wanted to kind of be you know they wanted to be such a common connection of words so so frigid they cut off the D and use it for the next word there and they start they stop that frigid so Frigidaire frigid air or just frigid bands and they is just how they pronounce it right kind of syllables right it's like like maple tree number silver maples - maple that's where you put it but what if I stopped at my Pole I changed like the vowel from long be sure that kind of thing was short belong language is very interesting like that that guy token that I read to you sometimes Hobbit he was an English professor at a very prestigious university Oxford and he was all about the stuff he's to teach the stuff in his classes and that's how he made his different languages up for his different races thank you like the elven language is the woven language he took words and changed and studied the old English version the middle version even translated into middle english only eglish this looks like a different language it's crazy I have one of his books about the tale of the Green Knight they be translated to Middle English and it's pretty hard to read but um that's what he did so he figured out the pronunciations if you change what you do in the word all of a sudden it's like a new word but it still holds some sort of inkling of the original meaning of it hidden within its vowel sounds pretty interesting run to your food once more sausage just a little more here - [Music]

nobody leaves this camp hungry and they had an agenda do not do not eat or something they want to leave hungry because anytime anytime we get together at doesn't matter whether it's here your place or wherever nobody ever leaves hungry have a whole bunch of food any sugar yeah everybody brings food and everybody shares like Thanksgiving all over again

yep

the top pot isn't a bad recipe all of us yeah I stopped messing with it just settle in on that one and it seems to be everybody's favorite so I made a sweet and savory one side I made the same recipe but then I fried up round up some ground sausage sausage into the batter but it's a whole different for me basically you got the same thing here a sausage patty right yeah we got some banana bread muffins as well muffins too then take a few minutes work [Music]
