Hello, how are you folks doing?
We've got a little bit of a different video today.
We're going to do some crown land camping.
We've got the truck, we've got it loaded up.
We've got the big canoe on top.
And check this out, we just pulled up to this spot.
We've also got the jeep.
We've got the family coming up.
I'm sure we're digging a hole as usual.
Hey baby!
Are you running?
What's he doing?
What? Are we camping?
And this is our lookout. We're going to camp right here.
On this awesome lake.
There's a trout in there.
We'll try our hand at getting some. Got a fire pit. So we're
just going to set up a big old tent. Hi. Adam.
Are we camping? We're camping. Yeah. We're
camping. Run, run, run. Run, run, run, run, run, run.
Run, run, run, run, run, run. It's
my car. It's his car. You want to run with me?
We're camping. Yeah. What? It's a hard
I think right here is good,
it's flat and it's kind of close to the fire pit but I don't
think that it's
that big of a deal.
It's all one tent.
Can you help me put the poles together?
Watch your fingers.
What?
What?
You want help?
You're a big helper?
Oh, look at Autumn go.
Anytime.
Say big tent.
How many
times did
you just
say rainbow
cookies?
I'm doing
something
with my mouth.
Rainbow
cookies
are
good?
Rainbow cookies are good?
I'm doing something but I'm
all rainbow cookies here.
Rainbow cookies are good. Rainbow cookies!
Need some help dear.
It looks like it.
You got it or?
No I don't
got it.
Default. Default open.
Soon we will have it a whole.
Rainbow cookie
Autumn? You like
the rainbow
cookie?
Are we
camping?
Swimming before it gets too late. Chilly but
I think I need to get a fire going beforehand
so that when we're done we'll have some poles
to cook up some food. Back up.
Cause it's not getting any
warmer.
Are we going? Yeah.
Stay way away from that one.
Where's your ball?
Where's your toy at?
Where's your toy?
Do you want me to get you?
Smokes.
The wind sends it everywhere.
I've got to move back.
Yeah, you do.
It's a good thing we're not in the forest.
It's all like gravel and everything.
It's fine, but let's go.
We're going to swim, too.
All right, let's go.
I'll show them.
That's the island there.
A what?
Capitulary.
Okay, let's go.
Oh, it's a weird head.
Man, it's windy.
Let's go.
Yes, we have to swim back.
We have to swim there and back if we go there.
Yeah, back up, honey.
Dealing
with a
little
bit of
some
potential.
It's ready
to cook.
We're going to do some burgers and cheese and hotdog.
Food.
Whole nine yards.
Brought buns, too, to put them on.
Home is.
Let's calm down.
What do you think about the storm, honey?
What do you think is going to happen?
I think it's going to go around us, like you said.
Clouds are a little bit more above us though right now.
As long as we eat, then I'm fine.
We can go lay in the tent.
It's all good.
Hunker down.
Although that tent is just a Canadian Tire special Coleman.
It might be Walmart, but I don't expect it to be too waterproof.
But it's big enough for all of us, so that's a plus.
Let's eat
the cheese.
Oh, Daddy cuts a piece of cheese.
One second, okay?
Let's cook Chipper up these nasty Fully A Party burgers.
This is two or one?
It's two.
This is two?
How?
This is one.
Certainly one.
Right?
It should have been two.
How is that two?
It's just one?
It's just one.
Daddy's got to get his knife, honey.
Don't put your hands while Daddy's cutting.
Just wait.
What do you say?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
Make sure it tastes good first.
Thank you.

Oh, pretty much done.
Tripper, relax.
All right.

dude yeah okay I love you mommy bye daddy bye
I'll see you at the next camp spot bye daddy
bye all right so we'll go up to the long way okay what
no two more what long way to what
the next camp spot we'll go find another camping
spot we'll go explore I got a map and we'll go
find a spot to camp okay oh okay look at my car seat
this one's my favorite rather than the pink
one yeah you don't like pink anymore do you
no this one's the only one with green all right let's
so you heard it that place is pretty decent
but pretty windy as well and if
I'm being honest the sky is pretty dark
so we're gonna go find a spot that's a
little bit more in the woods as opposed
to so exposed we'll still look for
somewhere near water
but there's the Sun anyways we got all day we'll go find
another spot
in camp again we
doing oh what took
what did it take
to get here
What did it take? Like how long?
Or just all the driving down all the back roads?
All the twists and turns and trying to find places.
And there's people in all
of the nice quiet places where you expect no one to be.
Yeah. But we found this. It's pretty awesome all to ourselves.
So there's a little bit of sun.
But we got some shade over here. What's that?
It's not windy. The car blocking the way in.
The road's just out there, not too far.
But it's a seldom used road. You can tell people
camped here before obviously got a fancy
clothesline times two but then a bridge
but also we've got a river
so that's kind of cool triple can play in the
river so can the baby
and if it's deep enough under the bridge maybe I can
catch
a fish what
baby what's
up yeah what
do you want
to camp here
I think
I think you should put the tent over here, eh?
In the shade?
Yeah,
I like it over here.
You good?
Okay.
Drafts and mosquitoes
just float down the river
She's on and everything.
We'll go in there a little bit later.
We gotta get the tent set up.
Did you poo-poos?
Did you poo-poos?
Tripper, leave it alone, big guy.
Leave it.
The one negative about Crownland spots,
especially ones you can drive up to,
cause there's trash, but we'll clean it up.
Have a big fire and burn it all out.
What?
Oh
You got me
You run in careful
She doesn't fall on that
you're doing laps,
what did you want
to show me
let's try nope
poison berries
Yeah, no blue bead. I think it's called blueberries.
Do not grow on something that looks like that
They're a lot smaller to the ground. They don't have a big stalk like that.
They're not these are not blueberries
I promise you well our trail
was the trail to the pooper
The pooping place
We gotta set up some camp now
There's actually a full size barbecue over here
But I didn't know I forgot my canister
Of propane at home
You wanna play baseball?
Let's do it
I can't even open my eyes Joey
So it's
about 5
o'clock
We went swimming in the river for a little bit
Now we're getting ready to cook some supper
Joey's over here cooking for us
What you
making honey?
Corn on the cob, only hot dogs
And two ribeyes
looking good right
here right here
the wild animals
no autumn you eat
yours oh she said
my turn so autumn try to pass hers there you go look
at all the corn right here look at all that
corn no you can't use your fork bite it baby
bite it i saw the corn blader sisters we have to
uh watch tripper around the corn cobs
for some reason he has an obsession
with eating corn cobs and then
ralphing them back up.
Corn cobs. Corn cobs.
He was worried about the corn cobs more than
he was worried about the steak bits we were giving him.
Are you eating yours? That turned out real well.
Just throwing them in the husks on the
grill. Turned out very crispy.
The husk kind of steams it.
Delicious.
Autumn, delicious?
Autumn, say, bam son.
Bam son.
Bam son.
Bam son.
I'll buy you a song.
You done your corn?
I'm done my corn, Daddy.
Daddy, watch this.

See that white corn?
No, you don't.
Having fun,

Mom, you ready

You didn't have
a nice two-hour nap like I did.
Nope, I did not.
Oh,

You got a marshmallow?
Hey, you have marshmallow?
This is marshmallow.

Bite it.

Yummy.
Night two
in the books.
Everybody's gone to bed.
I'm just cleaning up.
I'm going to head to bed too.
There's some crazy stars tonight.
You can see the Milky Way and everything.
Good night, guys.
Tommy's
still
in
bed.
We're making a fire to make a breakfast.
He did his tennis ball.
What could you possibly want?
Get your ball.
Come.
Out. Good boy.
Down. Good boy.
Almost like
a dog. It's
unseasonably
cold.
18th, 19th, 20th maybe around there.
And as you can see I'm all dressed to warm.
We've been dressed warm the whole time.
We went swimming just briefly. This is how cold it was.
This spot here with this shallow river would have
been an ideal spot for the kids to play if it were hot.
But I know this is a completely different video.
But this is what I'm doing with the kids and the wife and the dog.
Crowman camping with the family.
I do have some epic stuff planned and I have
an epic trip already shot.
I've just been very busy this summer going out
doing trips with not being allowed
to for the first half of the year. It was
like I felt the urgency to get out
and go do trips and then especially if they
consider to do what they said in the fall
and lock things down again then we'll
definitely want to have done all
the things we wanted to do for the year
outside wise. It's been good though.
It's been a good time with the family. This is the
third day we're out. Stay around here for a while, eat, and go home.
We go about two, two and a half
hour drive home. We'll take our time
and check out some other spots along the way too, because
this is all new to us. Tripper, stop digging, buddy.
Yeah, this is all new to us, so it's fun.
It's fun to explore, find new places like
this that are easily accessible. We don't have to pay,
we don't have to fight the crowd.
We can do what we want, so it's nice. You know, if I was car
camping, having Tripper there next to a family,
right, like a lot next to us, it wouldn't be
very ideal it's nicer coming to places like
this crown land where there's no real like neighbors
we don't have any crown or we don't have any
car camping neighbors we can't uh we couldn't be our
annoying selves if if there was so here we're free to be uh as loud
and obnoxious as we want
and it's nice it's nice to be able to do what we want have
the freedom to go swimming fishing
if um you're right if it was hotter outside
this this little river would have been perfect for the
kids to uh to play in the whole time can you throw
that this ball he's asking you a little
black rubber girls can you pause
that for a second time to go home
or what you want to go home Autumn
you say goodbye to everyone
love you thanks for what thanks
for watching all right good all
right guys thanks for watching we'll see you
on the next one bye say bye everyone say it one more
time girls
thanks
for watching
mommy bye love
you see you
tripper big
guy guys we'll
be back with
an epic camping trip, I promise. See you soon.
Hope you enjoyed watching the family run around
like crazy. This is, uh, this is us.
