Winter camping adventure with kids RV trailer and ride on truck, ice fishing. Educational | Kid Crew #camping; #kids

Welcome to Kid Crew! Let's go winter camping! Brrr! It's cold here. He's got tire chains, but I wonder if this snow is going to provide some problems. Unlock the coupler and slide it over the ball. Here's dad. Thanks for hooking up the trailer already. Do you mind if I take a ride? No. Okay, it's a long way. I don't really want to walk. Let's get this rig moving. Turn it on and go. The tire chains are trying, but they just aren't enough. Ugh, it's not going. We're not moving. The snow just must be too deep, but I have an idea. They can use these sleds under the wheels to make the ultimate ice road camper. Do you think this is going to work? Lift the truck and put the sled under the front wheels. Wow, your truck looks like a snowmobile. We can't forget the RV trailer. Prop up the side and slide it in. There we go. It's like a sleigh. Let's try it again. Let's go. The wheels are gliding over the snow now. The tire chains on the back wheels are providing enough traction to pull the heavy rig. Okay, this looks like a great campsite. Feels so good to be camping, but boy, I'm getting cold. They'll need to start a fire pronto for warmth, but first they'll set up the trailer, then get in and push out the slide out. Okay, the trailer's all set. I'm so cold. How should we warm up? Build a fire. Do you have the matches? Uh, let me check. No, I don't, and we're so far from home. How are we going to start a fire? I might have left some of my building supplies in the RV. There's a dowel and a piece of wood that just might work. By rubbing this stick into this other board, we'll be able to heat it up so much that we can start a fire. Before we start, we need to build a fire ring and we need to make sure our fire bucket is full of water. Put the stick in the notch and then start spinning it back and forth as fast as you can. Keep going. I think it's about to start smoking. Look, it's smoking. Dump the coals into the tinder. It's starting, and there's the fire. They did it. Okay, Dad, build it up now. I think we're going to be okay. I'm really warming up now. Let's go get dinner. Yeah. We've got our fishing pole, and we're ready for some ice fishing. The stream looks awfully frozen. Oh, they're going to have to break through that ice. You know what we use when the ice is really thick? You want to use this one? Yeah. Okay. Boom. Great job. You got through. Now we can fish. I'm so hungry. Lower the hook through the ice. Oh, I think you got a bite. Oh, it's a beauty. Yeah. I think that'll be able to feed us. Yeah. Yeah. They're pretty small. Yeah, pretty small. Wow, what a good catch. Yeah. Do you want to clean it in the sink? We've upgraded our sink with a drain pipe. Take the fish off that hook. Then wash it in the sink. Oh, the water drains out from under the camper. Wow, that fish looks a little different than the one we caught. Now let's get dinner going. These two must be so hungry. Grab the supplies. Dad's starting to heat up the pan. Next, cut the butter and start melting it. Okay, the pan looks ready. Throw in the fish. I hope you like it buttery. Oh, that smells amazing. I'm getting hungry. Yeah, I think it's done. Let me put it on our cutting board plate. That looks delicious. Great job catching that fish. Yeah. Eat up, boys. Oh, it's good. Yeah. You know, your butter recipe was perfect. Yeah. Half a stick for two pieces of fish. Perfect. Now put out that fire. Do you think it's about time we get in our sleeping bags? The sun's going down. Now here's how you can play along at home. Is it way too cold to camp outside at your house? Then camp inside. We're going to turn this into this. We grab our rope, then attach it to the window lock. On the other side, we tie it to the speaker. Now let's get these couch cushions back to where they normally are, which is on the floor. That makes a cozy bed. Time for the tent. Grab the sheet, then close pin it to the rope. Beep. All done. Oh, this is a cozy tent, but I think it's missing something. Yeah. S'mores. S'mores. That's a great idea. We can make them inside. Yeah. Run to those ingredients and get them all ready. Graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow. Then into the microwave for eight seconds precisely. Then smush. Perfect. That's exactly what a s'more looks like. Yum. With full tummies, it's time for bed. Good night. Now let's learn how it works. This is how a sled works. Skis have two main advantages over wheels in the snow. First, they can ride on top of the snow instead of sinking down. Tires, on the other hand, concentrate their weight in a small area, which makes for a lot ground pressure, so it sinks. Second, snow is slippery, so skis don't need to roll like wheels to have low friction. Snowmobiles take advantage of these concepts with skis in the front and then a wide track in the back with plenty of surface area so it doesn't sink down. They can navigate even deep, soft snow. Oh no, I forgot matches, and we're so far from home. Yeah. So we love camping and sledding, but breaking ice has to be our favorite wintertime activity. Are they on? I'm trying to turn on the underbody lights. I think it's not that one. Maybe it's this one. Yep, there it is. It's green. Uh, back up in the garage. Yep, exactly. Okay, now this is the cheaty part. I need to start making lighter props and also retrieve them when it's not raining. I think this is sleet. Maybe it's sleet. It's so heavy. Do you think I'll be able to push it in reverse, you guys? Is it clear? I mean... Hey honey, can you watch out? Somebody's a little bit in the way. Go! Sometimes working with the tail end can be a challenge. What kind of fish do you think that is? An orange trout. The special variety of rainbow trout. A distant cousin of a rainbow trout. What's for dinner? Well, we thought we'd try cooking fish inside, so tonight we'll have fish and then pasta. Oh boy! So is it better or worse than under the campfire? Not as good. Yeah, I think it isn't as good, but there is a lot less butter. The thing too, honey, when you're camping and cooking, the tendency is to overcook. Because the preparation isn't as clean as inside, so things are more well done. This is how a metal detector works? Nope. This is how a sled works. We'll discover this at the next How It Works when we film. Just put it in the pocket. What else is in there? Oh hey! It's the tip of my glove! Yeah, look at that! Look at the sunset! It's a really nice sunset tonight. Look at how teeny tiny your camper looks from up here. It's actually pretty big. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for watching Kid Crew. Please like and subscribe.
