watch your hair or on that porch Sophie I want you to burn your hair yeah don't get too close to that I think hey Danny wish that's what I'm running with that's a new bag for me it's a pretty big bag I think it's like um it says I want to say it's 70 liters by itself and then then they say it's expanded it's like 100 litres I don't know what that means you like completely packed to the gills and press the seams maybe that doesn't seem like a hundred liter bag to me honestly because I have a bigger bag it's a good bag this is its first trip so I'm I don't know too much about it yet you know I mean for like actual usage you know take you a while to learn we'll see we'll see how it does but so far so good I got about 40 pounds in it right now and what's Buckskin strategy essentially to see how long it would take you to find it you can have that feather nice that's yours oh that's my wife call try to hold your arms further out inside no Yuri

Zelda shirt my favorite game in the world and what's the other one with the candy one can your world can do it Elia yeah you like Katie Ann a lot too oh yeah well cool yes yep those are great sticks underneath the pine tree they do you're right stick it right good spot on the edge I can use the scrape yeah yeah

awesome I was trying to get written into the big blank why is it building it why isn't it building up mystic glittering lights beautiful but so beautiful so beautiful yep for a long time we haven't even started dinner yet and then after we do dinner Rock gonna have to roast marshmallows ooh

looking for some other owls and I love hearing those owls whoa

you don't want to talk back too much because they very like see how he's accelerated and they're like if you can't keep up if you can't do the pattern perfect and a lot and pronunciate it right and all that stuff like to get pissed off and they'll eat yeah but he's like so jacked up they'll be doing that for a while cuz he's like I heard something it's just beaming on me and I notice you have washed some layer is there some layers off cuz it's warmer huh taking you took your sweater off yeah we're by the cars I got chilly I had to grab a jacket I like yeah that's the thing to remember how cold it was near the car that's the real temperature that just shows how long the fire is that's not windy so it's not blowing the heat away

or even finish it though that's perfect [Music]

what that's not nice to say um I'll just toast it at all just like it is she like it is so it's kind of gooey yeah people especially my old I mean you might newing minutes on a really born yet

I'm putting spices on this or anything just like it is anyways I have garlic powder onion powder salt pepper taco seasoning

I don't need it all sorts of stuff I figure we tasted like it is crazy but we have everything we need yes indeed bitch is a nice man I think I've said that enough made these a little longer such a good feeling to sit down not enough cheese totally pink on the inside still not like dry it out nasty no it looks like it's done to perfection

come on really then you've definitely dialed in your cooking skills on the fire cooking and losing rock yeah yep all right

you know I'm only even one marshmallows that's funny

hey what's up fire what's up its knife is so mean I love it they're just cars easily the front did you call a spatula that's built like a brick outhouse big is solid yeah that's pine so yeah I couldn't make it too thin yeah they post maple birch I could have gotta wear something more delicate but need a little beef wood pine though yeah you do I mean I could easily take that and just snap it I really worked hard but to pick food up yeah good job just jacked up the cheese what kind of cheese is that carry the white stuff till our Barty mmm that sounds good it's very light cheese chopped dill

that's why it's just not wait it's also like speckled okay I already say sounds good man sir thank you [Music]

look at this grab you a second oh good Sophie I never buy this done to perfection

yeah to cheese's maximum hey hey you sent me with a bunch of embers you put that down my pants put the stick down well hold on I hear you could hurt me hurt yourself man not the middle bite done to my dad he always did for me give me the best bite I got older and I realized what you have been doing all that time do meet the best bait I asked him how how he was able to do that you know doesn't like the bite that you're most excited about was absolutely the best boy I'd rather you have the best bite than me I don't understand that at all he's crazy so I need to take this rock out Sophie because if I don't it's gonna keep getting rocks they fracture easier and this rock will eventually break and be destroyed like it'll break with tonight it will take fast I also don't want it to get too cold too fast so I'm gonna keep it near the fire like right around here somewhere yeah we're still feel a little bit of heat but it's always losing heat now compared to what it was before I want to cool it off mm okay now see how this is this is a good spot right here I'm trying to break this grab this I'm gonna flip it over look aside it's not quite as burn we face down I gather up the embers around the the corners all these pieces no turn off your flash turn off your flashlight for a second and look how beautiful this is you look so beautiful it's all these shavings and slices [Music]

Thanks that burger Mitch those delicious come on yeah those fire chips wood chips no I think I'm all set thank you though yeah oh yeah I always carry tea not me I got chai I got rogue ray oh nice prop black laughs yeah I switched over from the coffee or just the chicken block to you Bernie

[Music]

and once it's brewed we're gonna pour that into our other cups I'm gonna teach you why it's good to have two cups so I have two cups and you have two cups because they're both my cup breaks because that meant that the cup is in that's like a pot on the stove right and so you would never try to eat out of a pot on the stove because that's like where the food was just frying or where the water was boiling or whatever you can't put your lips to that you get burned

right so that metal in that cup is very hot you burn your lips if you touch it so then you take just like you do the pot on the stove how I take my tea and I pour it into my cup and let it cool down I take that cup from the cupboard we'll do the exact same thing except instead of the cupboard it'll be from our backpack that's like a cooking pot does that make sense you know see a lot of people just have a single cup and then they they try to drink out of it and it's it's not very comfortable it's too hot and then they have to like wait until the metal cools down for them by that point the tea's kind of kind of like usual things hey you wanted it big many complain it's too hot if you sit on the bench facing the other way don't just warm your back it'll be nice actually my back is cold my front have you noticed that what most next to you when I lay on the ground what I'm sleeping next to a fire that's right like my back is freezing because it's facing the floor my face is hot because it's facing the fire so every once in a while I need to roll over and I warm my back up Gilly statically back warm up nice right and it's like we your spine and like eventually would make it go [Music]

[Music]
