Welcome back to the channel. We're hot tent camping again
in the Rocky Mountains this time, where tonight it's definitely going to get
pretty cold. At least negative 10 degrees Fahrenheit,
maybe colder. But we have a hot fever, we have a stove.
And it is already so hot in here. Definitely
been stripping down. Oh yeah, take it off.
It's like 100 degrees in here. It's not that warm. Like maybe five degrees outside.
Pretty comfortable. My face is warm. Because it's so hot.
Let's set up this new cot.
Be able to chop wood on a surface that isn't just deep snow.
Let's throw some of this new wood on here. This wood lasts a long time,
which is nice. When you're sleeping, nothing more
annoying than waking up because you're freezing in the middle of the night and
having to change it over and over again. It's bound to happen at least once or
twice, but every hour it's not the best. You get the
food? Get my trash bag full of food.
This is what all our drinks turn into. Nice little slushies.
I got this one to defrost by the stove because it was outside.
But they taste so good. It's snowing a little bit.
Just a little bit.
See that view? You have the Tetons right there.
Stunning mountains. Hopefully at some point, either for sunset or sunrise,
we'll be able to see what the view normally looks like, which is pretty
spectacular. You know what we do? We pick a campsite with the best view
on a nice snowy day. On a nice foggy cloudy day.
I think it'll be perfectly good in my mouth. It's frozen.
Flip it over, I think it'll be more effective.
Do you want me to smash it? Oh, there's like a literal
plug. That's like, that's like frozen. I think it just might...
Not still in the water. For dinner, got me a proper meal this time.
Nice steak. As opposed to what? A non-proper meal?
Stew was very good. Stew that also had steak in it.
This is gonna be really, really good. We'll get this salted and peppered up.
There's a side dish, and by side dish I mean
my main dish. We are making some mashed potatoes.
Don't know how well this is gonna... That hit my eyelash.
I don't know how our brains can react fast enough to save our eyes like that.
Like it took me a while to realize why I closed my eye.
We forgot our masher, sorry. Rosa's improvising with a fork. We make it
work, everyone. A handful of cheese. As much cheese as broccoli.
Look at the beauty of that plate right there.
That is one of the most complete meals we've made camping. It's beautiful.
There's a knife.
Mashed potatoes are really one of the great foods, in my opinion.
You need more salt? No, I'm good.
All right, let's taste it.
Actually, that looks beautiful. You did a fantastic job.
But what does it actually taste like?
It really tastes good. Yeah?
The cold's been trying to encroach on our tent.
Look at that ice down there. I think it's succeeding.
There's like a perfect little layer. We gotta set up your cot.
Time to try out my brand new ultralight cot.
That time of the night all bundled up, aka sweating at the moment, but
low down it's a lot colder than it is high up.
Think you're gonna stay warm? I don't know. I think you're gonna be in charge of
stoking the fire. I was like, the fire's right in front of me. I should be warm.
It's your, uh, yeah, that's gonna be your job tonight.
Yay. Unless I'm gonna reach on top of you. No, it's fine. I'm better at waking up
than you are anyways. That's true. Hopefully it doesn't get too
cold tonight. Hopefully we wake up with a view tomorrow.
Yes, especially, because the sunrise from here will be magical.
Hopefully we all get to see it. Good night.
Good morning. Made it through the night. It was a cold one. Extremely, extremely cold
night. But I'll tell you what, it is a lot warmer
in here now than it is outside. Outside it's, I would guess, around
negative five Fahrenheit. Also the pretty view came in.
Yeah, look at how beautiful it is. It's so pretty.
Got some sun in here. It's warm. This is what you do when you're bored in a hot
tent. Oh, that was a fail. I do it. You do it.
Hey, I found my other glove. I did it you.
You always do this, not me. Give me the milk too.
This was in the tent, but at ground level I've got
some pretty frozen milk.
I forgot about the rocks. It was a good hike though.
Yeah, well you don't notice it at all.
Perfect charcoal. Negative four Fahrenheit out there. At 10 a.m.
Sorry, it got really, really cold there. We were frantically making a break for
the car. And then your phone died right in the
middle of it. When the phone gets like in below freezing, below zero
temperatures like this, it just, no matter what the battery
percentage is, it instantly dies. It's kind of frustrating. And that's what
we used to film. But we made it back. We threw the sled in
the back of the car, still fully packed. So ready for the next adventure I guess.
Yeah, I guess we're going hot tent camping next because everything's ready.
Well, thank you for watching our frigid hot tent camping adventure.
Possibly the most scenic hot tent camping spot ever.
Are there really prettier places to pitch a hot tent? In the winter you can
only get to so many places. Yeah. And you can't really drag that stuff
out more than, you know, a couple hundred yards.
Well, and Grand Teton's great because it's surrounded by
National Forest. Yeah, so we're just on public forest. We were in the National Forest
right outside the park boundaries. You can camp anywhere basically, which is
awesome. Well, thank you for watching, and we'll
see you next time. Bye.
