So we're in our woods getting ready to camp out in our tent. For whatever reason they're really jacked up to do it. So they've been talking a lot and non-stop. They've been trying to help. They're actually really been really good. They have a really good setup here. They each wanted to have a bug net. So one's over on this side and the other one's on the other side. And I'm sleeping in the middle without the bug net. Huh? You had to twist it? If you start if you start breaking it from the top and work your way down it will it's easier to to break. Because it's it's smaller up top. I couldn't get up to the one branch. Yeah. And I could reach it but I just couldn't snap it. Gotcha. You can show me. Yeah here. Go for it. Break it up. Just watch your brother. What? Get Liam to help. Do not know what kind of spider that is but it's pretty big. Mouse. He ran up the tree. Mousey. Did you see him go? Yeah. Screamed like a little girl. Screamed like a little girl. There he goes up off the tree. What? He's going up the tree. See him? Right there. He's up towards the top. Little bugger. He peed on me. No. You guys want to light this? What do you want to light it with? Want to use a cotton ball? And Vaseline and that? Okay. Stick it under the smaller stuff. Okay it's good. Good. See if it catches. Yeah well you did. So tonight on the menu are cheddar dogs. So I get this great hot. Now we'll put the dogs on. This grate is a little on the rusty side so we're gonna we're gonna cook the hot dogs on some aluminum foil. I don't know if that's any better or worse than eating rust but that's what we're gonna do. While we were out here off camera we were just messing around. One of my kids got a hold of this thing. It wasn't it wasn't on the fire so it wasn't hot but it's pretty sharp and he bumped it and guess what it hit? Yeah it hit the tent. Put a nice two nice size rips right there but it's all right. I was mad. I had to walk away. It could have been worse I guess. I do have a nylon patch kit on the way and we'll fix that tomorrow but wasn't too happy. It is what it is. Accidents happen. Oh hot. Ouch. Should be done shortly. All right they're done. I have to build a table out here. Yeah they're really crispy.
