WINTER CAMPING with KAYAK in SNOW! | Camping on a Snowy Mountain Lake in Winter

Welcome back to the channel. While Rosa was setting up the tent I found a big old abandoned log that this little hatchet as dull as it is was very dull able to split a little. So now we have more wood to have a big fire because it's going to be cold. I'd have a fire tomorrow morning hopefully after this place is Supposed to snow tonight. Completely covered in snow yeah. That is the hope. It was a beautiful paddle out here as you saw the uh it was sunny which we haven't seen in a few days and you know it was cold but it wasn't too windy so it was manageable and I don't know that those conditions are going to be the same tomorrow but we can hope that at least it will be beautiful and snowy. I think it's still supposed to be calm it's just supposed to be snowing. Yes. Well we brought our favorite little fire starters again. We could go through the hassle of starting a fire without it but why would we? Especially in you know wetter places like this you always want some easy way to start a fire. The rest of this firewood is the one that I hauled in the back of my kayak. Oh because it's pretty unreliable to have. Yeah there was no confidence we were going to find wood. But we found some which is nice. I don't think it'll take too long to get a fire going and then start dinner. Mac and cheese. How to make vegetables taste good guys. Yeah butter and cheese. Butter and cheese. We'll make the veggies on the fire. I just want to have everything hot at the same time and we only have one jet boil. Don't disappoint me Cracker Barrel. Throw it on. I trust you. Looks pretty good. Smells very good. Smells just like Kraft mac and cheese. Well you take what you want. I don't know how much you wanted. I'm gonna bread and butter too. I'll eat this for now. We were just talking about um eagerly anticipating ski season. He was talking about it. Yeah and I was wondering if you guys would do me a favor and pure pressure Rosa into skiing. You're gonna use the YouTuber people to peer pressure me? Well we live in a state with such excellent slopes and I'm excited to you know do some maybe it won't be solo because she'll be featured as she's driving to pick me up. Backcountry skiing missions you know just going from high up in the mountains way down to somewhere she can pick me up. I'll be featured from the comfort of Chad. But if Rosa ever picked up skiing or snowboarding. I won't. He really wants me to and like I've tried it. I don't like it. You did it forever ago on the wrong side of the country. It does not count. I think like it's like I don't like riding bikes. I don't like doing any of that. I don't I like to have my feet on the ground. I don't want something in between my feet and the ground. Unless it's a car or kayak. Yes those aren't fine. Well that's not the ground that's water. I just think you have to do it enough till you get good at it and it's fun. But I don't like winter. It's always winter. I really like this mac and cheese. It's really good. Well it's five o'clock and that means it's already pitch black outside. So in preparation for the snow tomorrow or tonight. I'm gonna flip over our kayaks just to make sure they're. Is this you? Hi. I was in a little touch. Luckily it's still dry. I'm sure that's all gonna change overnight. All right. Feels good? Yeah. It's like all we did today was lay down it feels like. Well especially the way I sit in my kayak. I am laying down. Although it's only what 7 30? 7 40. I'm tired. What about you? No I'm wide awake. I'm wide awake. So I will be falling asleep first. Probably not. I never fall asleep first. Oh yeah. I might go re-watch the episodes I have downloaded. I have some YouTube. But hopefully it snows overnight and we can wake up to something beautiful. Or we're gonna wake up and it's gonna be ugly. Good night. Good night. Good morning. It definitely snowed. You've been hearing snow slide off the tent all night. That's exciting. It's gonna be so beautiful outside. I already peaked. It's pretty. And we're gonna get to kayak back as the snow is falling. Which will probably be more sound more romantic than it is. Yeah it's not romantic at all. It just means it's gonna be wet and cold. Snow down here. Oh isn't that beautiful? That's so beautiful. Let's get a small fire going here so it can be warm before we kayak back. Yeah it's warm. The old phone I had before, the one I'm using to film this video right now, is under this dock like 10 feet down and fell off almost a year ago. And I had really no way of getting it back. It's not very clear because it's a very glacial silty lake. And when we had just gotten to this campsite you know it was so cold probably similar as to now that jumping in without a fire and all that like that was my initial instinct like let me jump in and I was like you know I could die If you don't have a towel then it's not any warmer in the air. If anything the water was warmer than here. Back to where we started through the rain the wind the snow and the waves so we're quite a bit wetter than when we began. But I'm proud of us because that last bit was a little more torrential. A little bit soaked. At least you got boots. Grunt. Got the kayaks on top of the car. The world's slipperiest ice rink of all time. We need a towel. Helped a little bit. Helped a lot. I wouldn't have been able to do it. Soaked, wet, cold, happy to be in trouble. It's time to dry off. Everything is soaked. Shower. Well thank you for watching our winter kayak camping adventure. It's not something we're gonna do very often because it's it's an ordeal. But also like it doesn't snow usually at the level where it's easy to like inflate a kayak. Yeah where the lakes don't freeze. Yeah. But most of the bigger lakes in the northwest are pretty low down so you only get a few snow days a year. But this is a wonderful one. Absolutely nobody with the entire lake to ourselves. I think it's time to start the car. Heat it up a little bit maybe. Yep. I'm cold. All right that's what we're doing. If you like this kind of content feel free to subscribe to our channel.
