Bushcraft Log Cabin Summer Camping & Swimming

All right guys, you want to go on a camping trip? Yeah! All right, let's do it. And I brought chicken. There it is. Let's see, how's she doing? Looks like she's doing good. No problems. Make sure there's no raccoon or anything living in here. We're back at the log cabin. We've been working on this thing all year. She's beautiful and she's holding up really, really well. So pleased. It's late today, so we're going to get in there. We're going to cook up some food. We're going to get camp all set up. Tomorrow we're going to have a lot of fun. All right guys, looks pretty good in here. Yeah. All right guys, should we get our beds made up? So there's not quite enough room for all three boys and myself to sleep on the bed in the cabin. So Tommy and Jacob are going to sleep inside and me and Nate are going to sleep out under the stars. So that should be kind of fun, as long as it doesn't rain. All right, we built this log cabin to keep us warm in the winter, but there's one downside. Building a fire in that stove in the summertime is brutal. It gets so warm in there. So we need to build a fire pit outside so that we can cook and have fires outside without roasting to death. Hey boys, do you want hamburgers for dinner? Yeah. Now listen, I'm going to need to get a fire going. Can you guys gather up all the firewood you can get? Okay. There you go. All right, I've got my blast match here and I've got some cedar bark and we're going to try to light up this fire. Don't burn your butt and you die. The spot above the fire is mostly clear, but there's a few limbs we got to clear out. It's not a big deal now because these green leaves will just shrivel up and die. They won't burn, but in the fall when they're dead, it will become a problem. There you go. You guys did it. You have earned the right to put it upon the flames. Yeah, just keep sawing up some wood for our breakfast fire and just stack it up against the log cabin, okay? Yeah, come sit in my chair with me. All right guys, let me tell you a story about a famous hockey player who learned to golf. His name was Happy Gilmore. You know, we look like moonshiners drinking white liquid from a jug out here in the Virginia backwoods, don't we? Well, listen guys, you getting hungry? Yeah. You want me to make hamburgers? Yeah. Zach Fowler from the YouTube channel Fowler's Makery and Mischief gave me a bottle of his series hot sauce when we were up in Maine. So I think I might use it on my hamburger today, try to season it. It's actually pretty good hot sauce. That's an onion. I love onions. I love onions too. Yeah, there's a big old crane fly keeps bugging me. Watch your fingers. Watch your fingers. Well, that's a tomato. If you want to try a bit of tomato, try that. You like the tomato? That's exactly what we're going to do. Who wants the first hamburger? Yeah, those are the dogs. You want the second one? Okay. All right, Jake, there's one for you. You guys got that? Peanut butter on your hamburger. Madness. Coleslaw and hamburger. Dinner of champions right there. You guys, you like those hamburgers? Yeah. Yeah. Those are good. So Happy Gilmore's arch enemy was a man named Shooter McGavin. We're sitting here eating dinner and Tommy goes, Hey, is that a bird's nest in there? Look at this. That might be a mouse nest. Yeah, I think that's a mouse nest, but look at that. That's great Tinder. I think I'm going to take that and use that for Tinder. Keep that in my Tinder bag while you get ready for bed. Okay, guys, time for bed. All right, guys, Tommy, get in your sleeping bag, buddy. We got a big day tomorrow. We're going to do lots of fun things. You guys need to get a good night's rest. Good night, guys. Well, it's late and the boys are asleep, so I'm going to try to catch some Zs under the stars here, but I have two small problems. One, I accidentally poked a small hole in my air mattress and it's slowly deflating and will leave me flat on the ground. Two, apparently the ground is covered in large spiders, many of whom are covered with little tiny baby spiders on their back and they keep crawling all over my sleeping bag. So it's going to be an interesting night. Come on, lady. Take your kids elsewhere. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Off my back. I'm still going to get covered in spiders tonight. Oh, well. You warm now? Nathan and Jacob, are you guys awake? Good morning. You know, I might put it wrong. No, that's never happened. That's never happened to 10 children. To bring a bunch of stuff for the French toast, so instead we're just- I was here. You guys want some- Duncan was a grown up. Put a little go-gurt on there. Duncan. All right, here's my new camping recipe. We have a slice of toasted chocolate brioche and I've got a go-gurt here and we are just squeezing some yogurt on that. That's really good. There's some eggs. That's really good. Salt and pepper on a sunny side up egg. Oh, it's so good. I've got a few chores to do around the cabin here and the boys, of course, want to wander around the woods and play, so I've got each one of them have walkie-talkie and this way we can stay in touch. Can you guys hear me? Okay. Number one on our agenda today is exploring a nearby river. We're going to see if we can catch any fish and maybe do a little swimming. You guys excited? We'll see what happens. Okay. Yep, keep going. Yeah, yeah. Oh, big spider web in my face. Hear that? I can hear the river. Well, look at this guys. Is this a cool swimming hole? That's a little cold. Oh, look at this. Uh-oh. What? Uh-oh. What? Tick. Oh, that looks like a deer tick too. Here. Everyone, look at your legs for ticks. So I got both my rods sitting in the bidal arm. I got a little bit of fish out there and we're going to just see what happens. You want to go down in there? You can go down there. Let's see. Oh, that's just cold. There's a swimming nade. That is a perfect tree for jumping in the water. Jake just got a shower. Guys, this is just like the perfect tree for jumping in. Look at this. This is like a perfect diving board right here. Yeah, like it's deep quick. Oh, look at that swimming Tommy. You guys should totally jump off this. This is going to be great. It's not that high. It breathes from its bottom. All right, buddy. Show me your ninja move. I think this is the perfect diving and swimming hole. The only problem is it's only like 70 degrees right now and the water isn't that warm. Oh, do I dare you to swim? Yeah, I dare you to swim. Look at Jakey swim. Look how far he's going. Oh, Nate, I'm proud of you. Oh, look at Jake. Whoa, look at Jake. He's even swimming up against the current. That's pretty good. Wow. Jacob, I'm impressed at what a good swimmer you are. Here, hold up your hand real quick. Show me how old are you? That's a wobbly three. Okay, let's go get you warmed up. There's a path over here. Let me get you up into the sunshine and let you warm up a little bit, so watch out for the poison ivy. That's poison ivy. That's poison ivy. That's poison ivy. That's poison ivy. That's poison ivy. Poison ivy. Everywhere you go in Virginia, just crazy amounts of poison ivy. Just walking barefoot through the poison ivy. I'm doing the poison ivy. No problem. Oh, this dirt's warm, Jake. You want to stand on this dirt right here? Are you guys cold? Do you want to head back? Yeah. All right, let's do it. Well, we only soaked the rods for a few minutes, but didn't get any bites, so we'll have to try to get a little bit later. Oh, guys, I can see the log cabin. We're saved. All right, we made it back. You guys want some watermelon? Yeah, let's eat some watermelon. Tom, is that a big enough piece for you? Yeah. Whoa. You guys like that watermelon? Yeah. Is watermelon like your favorite thing? Yeah. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. Nice shirt there, Jacob. If you guys want Outdoor Boys t-shirts and other merchandise, check out the link below.
