SURPRISE SNOW Camping in a Historic FIRE LOOKOUT! | Early Snowstorm in Remote Mountain Lookout

Welcome back to the channel. Today we are hoping to camp at another awesome fire lookout. So far we've hiked about a little over two miles up this trail so we've got a mile left. We've hiked about two and a half miles. Okay yeah two and a half miles. Got a mile left and we've already had our fair share of huckleberries along the trail. It's so good. Fair share of uh elevation gain as well. Yes so But I don't think that's over. Well no it's one of those good washing trails where the first mile and a half is completely flat and then it's just like oh here you go. Yep basically 2,000 feet elevation. Then you're just walking up a cliff for the rest of the trail. And you can see how even though it's still August, fall has definitely arrived. In unexpected news it's August and it's starting to snow. It's like sleet snow. Snow in August that is not something that you see every year. Snow and huckleberries at the same time. Look at these. These are huge. I can finally see. First viewing of the fire lookout. I heard your stomach rumble. Yeah. Are you hungry? I'm hungry. Down to the top I'm making coffee and eating a pop tart. Oh it's so close. I'm excited. There it is. Fully on the edge of a cliff. There we are. Oh it's so cool. Taking the packs off first. What else do you do? Look at this. It's like an actual bed. In these fire lookouts people love to leave little games. Just like that foot powder. A few games. Little xylophone. It's better than the last lookout that's for sure. But you guys should see this insane cliff. We're really on a ridge. If the weather clears up I should be able to drone around here and get a great perspective so you can see really what precarious. Yes how precariously perched this fire lookout is. There's a chest. It says first aid. Let's see what's in the drawer. I assume a dead radio. There we go. First aid and rotten earring. This is really full of stuff. That's maintenance stuff. More maintenance stuff I can see through the crack. Duct tape. Shellac. Tarps. There's all kinds of stuff. You make coffee? I eat my sandwiches. Okay. I can't feel my hands. Do you want me to do it? Yeah. Does it unscrew? No I think it pulls off. So I'm trying instant coffee for the first time because it seems very convenient. I can do this. I can't feel my hands. Are you excited that I told you to make two sandwiches? Yes. I've got mayo too. You've got chips. Oh and now that you're increasing my breath. Oh because you're increasing the humidity in here. Like the stove. It'll drip but it's hot. Well good thing for dinner we have some warm food. We're gonna be making chili. Oh we brought hearty food. Heating up chili out of a can. We brought chili. We brought brown rice. We brought half a baguette. Butter. We do this right. We really do. People out here with their backpacking meals starving to death. We're not starving to death. We're eating backpacking. Yeah but there's like two calories in this thing. Yeah we uh go all out. So if you want to if you want to watch us eat backpacking. We are going to try them though because we have a very negative opinion I think and we haven't even really tried them that much. I just have a negative opinion because of the size and the cost. They're ridiculous. Like 10 bucks a meal for like 500 calories. Put the chips in the sandwich as any sophisticated person would do. Yeah so we left at like when we woke up at 6 15. We were sleeping at the tribe and ended up leaving probably around 7. And it worked out perfectly and since it's supposed to clear out overnight we should definitely. We're waking up for sunrise. This boy needs to learn how to go to bed early. You want me to shuffle as usual? Yes. Rose is the shuffle queen. I just sit here being cold. Yeah imagine you shuffling with your hands right now. Oh it's like I just remember playing especially piano but any instrument but mostly piano after being cold. It's impossible. You just can't move your fingers at any speed. Sounds like you need a little coordination. It's still snowing outside. This is nuts. What if it just started snowing and didn't stop? I literally boiled water just so I could drink hot water as opposed to cold water. It's a good idea. It's very very cold. Are you gonna put that in the video? Yep that's the one clip everyone's gonna watch. Shuffle queen. Can't shuffle. For old people. Come up here. Play cards. Yes. That's how she does it. See right there? Now she's gonna end up with nine jokers. You know who doesn't have a joker? I have two jokers. I have none. I mean it's like clockwork. It's unbelievable. Just go down. You're done. Update. I am ahead going into the last round. Hey it's the last round that matters. I'm ahead by a lot going into the last round. He's not ahead by a lot. How much am I ahead by? 160 points. How many points do I have? Zero. Catch. See you guys at the finish line. Oh my god. As expected I emerge victorious. As expected we're now tied. No we're now three to two. No we're two to two. Actually I had three. You have two. This is your second win. This is now the third one. This is your second win. You won one on the beach and you won now. All right time to set up this uh archaic bed here. Well I mean it's gonna be more comfortable than anything we slept on. The one thing we should do is we'll just get the water off. I asked you. I thought you meant shave off because it was dirty. The water is in my sleeping bag. Oh did you see if I just soaked? Yeah. Oh shake that out. Oh my god. What's the most important thing to have dry? Mine's mostly dry. I am sleeping next to the window because I have the better sleeping bag. Yeah I think I'm gonna join you. After hanging out in our sleeping bags for a while it's finally starting to clear up out there. Look at that. That is amazing. Under Mount Baker we're just able to start to make out some of those glaciers. If you want to see us hiking to that glacier over there right up to the edge and camping check out the video right here because that was an awesome adventure. With all the huckleberries I figured we'd use one of these new little pots here and hopefully fill it up as much as we can. I think that's enough. All right so tonight we have my vegetarian chili. We have Everest non-vegetarian chili. They also call it chili. Yeah. We have quinoa and brown rice with garlic. We have a half a baguette, butter, we have cheese to put on top, we have garlic and salt if we need that. We bring all this. Isn't this amazing? That's legit. Is it good? My turn. Yours looks good too. Stag makes good chili. That's good. Put Campbell's instead. We got yours because it was the best picture. I already ate because my mom called me so I talked on the phone while I was eating. We downed these. Yeah you said you were gonna make like two servings out of that. The light decided to become the sun just set as it's almost completely cleared out here. You can see some of those amazing mountains and it's definitely starting to clear up all the way around but I think it'll still be a minute before we're able to see full size of Mount Baker there but that could be pretty amazing. You can actually see way down there. Look at that. A few people came to see if the fire lookout was occupied and they saw us from a distance and turned around but I would assume that's them. Quite an amazing sunset. Well after that spectacular sunset. It's cold. Yes it's very cold. It's getting down to 29 degrees. Yep 29 degrees here in uh is what they honestly they didn't even say it was gonna snow. There's no weather station here so it's kind of just an estimate but we're all bundled in our sleeping bags. I've been in here longer so I've already warmed up a little. I'm not warm. Well hopefully you get warm and then well we're planning on waking up at six and watching the sunrise so we'll see you then. Yes I'm gonna make coffee tomorrow morning. Okay good night. Good morning. Are you warm and bundled? I'm so warm. I was not nearly as warm. No you're so annoying. I'm sorry. I never knew how much you moved in his sleep until last night. Well I was awake most of the night. Yeah so was I because you moved. Oh I kept having to pee and it was just cold and miserable. I was warm. Well you can stay in your sleeping bag. I will get up. I will get up eventually. And look at the view because it's starting to burn. Look at that. Now we can see Mount Baker in all her glory. That's amazing. If you look way out over the range over there you can see Glacier Peak way off in the distance there. Mount Rainier. It's so far away. We get to pack the tent we didn't use thankfully. Well it's good to have a backup plan. Yes. Huckleberry seeds. If it's sunny. I was like why do I have so much room in my bag? Yeah we're not going to be exerting ourselves. Not much. It'll be super easy. Well just like that besides my sleeping bag. Which I have to admit. We are all packed up. That means all the help we can get. Here's a last look at that view from the inside. It's just awesome. Well I understand why they put the bed where it is. Crazy view of Mount Baker and the surrounding. There's really mountains all around and we got well this awesome range here too. My strap's wet too. Yeah. I think I just never dried. Well because it was just getting so wet yesterday. Are you ready? I don't know. Are you ready? Yeah. A little sad. The stores closed at exactly the same time. That was nice. We got timing. Well that went spectacularly well I would say. Everything worked out. Yes the weather cleared up. It's perfect. Got all varieties. That's when it got worse. It was cool when it was snowing and foggy. Yeah honestly I woke up this morning and I was like there's no clouds. I'm a little disappointed. Well if you enjoyed this video and you like watching us go uh adventure into the unknown and camp and explore abandoned fire lookouts.
