WINTER CAMPING in a SNOWSTORM! | Mountain Snow Camping/Backpacking in Winter Storm

Welcome back to the channel. Today we are camping up here in the mountains again except this time we should be... well, this time we're camping in a tent. We're camping in a tent. We brought a tarp. We are prepared. We brought a tablecloth to make food on. We are fancy. This is like our mini tarp. But yeah, it's supposed to snow about a foot tonight. 10 inches. Well, it's 10 inches down at 4,000 feet. Yeah, I guess we are higher up. We're higher up, so. We're at But it's a nice peaceful little getaway. Make a little trench. At least this time it's not... when it's like midwinter and the snow is, you know, like 20 feet deep, when you make a fire it just slowly descends until it's gone. At least we're not gonna... It'll descend, but we know where the ground is. It's only a couple inches deep. We like to bring these little fire starters. Especially, everything is frozen and wet, so there's really... You could struggle to make a fire for, you know, half an hour, or you could just have this. But if you keep it a little bit off the ground, it burns really well. It just helps you get your other wood burning enough to dry out. It burns for, what, like 10 minutes? Yeah, it burns for a while. I mean, next level is Steve level. Fire time! Bring lighter fluid or gasoline or something. Dump jelly all over your wood. I know, he uses a blowtorch. You ready? Yeah. Your gloves are really dirty. What color did they used to be? They used to be completely white. I love how cute this is. It's a good size. Oh, isn't it nice to have a fire? Need a little pepperoni. Give it a check. It's getting there. It's starting to melt. The bottom cheese melted. Just a little bit more. Oh, I turned my heated socks up in another setting. They're warm. I got heated socks, guys. Well, it's done to me. I'll let this cool down a bit and then... I make mine now. That's so nice. Is it warm? Yes. So, you know what? I'm gonna warm up my hands like that. All right, let's try this masterpiece. Is it done on the bottom? I'm sure it is. Looks good. These are always so good. Can I have some salt? Yeah. It started getting dark and man is it coming down now. I'm excited to see what this looks like tomorrow. Well, our tent's already covered. Yeah, look at that. Look at our tent already. I don't think it's even five o'clock yet and here we... It's already getting dark and dumping snow. I'm trying to like not get snow inside. Self-inflated. My sleeping pad's ready. I wonder how much weight and snow the tent could support since it's so evenly spread out. I bet it's a lot. Are you worried about the tent collapse? No, it's not gonna... I don't think it'll take a lot more than it's gonna fall here. It's crazy to think that like where we are, you know, it's November and the snow is, you know, it was probably four inches deep. Maybe it'll be a foot deep, melt down to like eight inches tomorrow and then... But by April it's gonna be probably 15 feet deep here. It's kind of nice doing a trip in the beginning of winter. Yeah, well because later on, I mean, you can just keep and keep and keep digging. Yeah. And you never find the ground. That's when it's snow cave time. Yeah. I'm gonna make lots of snow caves. You see lots of igloos, lots of things like that. My arms are gonna be buff. Look at my alkaline water. You can see just already how much snow there is in here. It's starting to droop the tent a little. It's like heavy. Well, if it falls on us, we'll notice. It's gonna be a miserable night if it does. Well, it seems like it's only dripping on my side. What the? I'm so stupid. Nail on waitress. Don't get crumbs everywhere. You're not gonna get crumbs everywhere? Everywhere. Give me a double. They're stuck together. Aren't they frozen? They're still good. You know what? I might pee in one of those cups if I have to pee. I'll just pour it outside. You better not pour it in the tent. People always ask like, where do you go to the bathroom? Yeah, well, two things. One, the weather's horrible outside, but that's not even the biggest concern is that I can't leave out of my side because the zipper's broken and I don't want to crawl over you. So I might as well just pee in that cup open because the zipper's open so that it works for the door, just not for the rain fly. So then I just pour it. I'm glad you're telling the audience your pee schedule and habits. Well, I don't know about the schedule. That's why I have to pee in a cup. We've peed in so many things. Right in the middle of my excellent pour. Did you see that pour? Do you want me to feed it to you? No, it's not. What, are you chugging it? You're not supposed to chug it. That's not how you drink hot cocoa. Can you stop drinking it so fast? I left you a little. You left me a lot. It's just I feel like your slurps make it sound like you're drinking more than you are. You got to aerate it so it doesn't burn your tongue. I want a wafer. I can't reach it. Well, we did our late night pees. You peed in a cup. I did. I peed in a cup. I peed outside like a civilized human being. Well, we could see the trees are quite snowy. It's already come down a lot. That's why every once in a while our tent shakes or kind of flops over. We already kind of pushed some snow off the top because we don't want it like caving in. But I'm nice and warm. I'm cozy. Yeah, no, me too. And even though it's only nine o'clock and sunrise is not till like a seven, but we'll be able to make that for sure. I mean, there's nothing else to do but go to sleep. Also, that's where we're Good night. Good night. Good morning. How'd you sleep? Good morning. Well, my last sleep was good. So yeah, but the tent, well, you know, it kind of held up. The sides drooping a little. Well, yeah, because tents, you know, they're, they're only water resistant really. And if these touch then it starts to drip down. But I'm sure outside there's a sight to behold. A sight to behold? Yeah, I'm sure there's a ton of snow. Well, go behold it. That's what I'm gonna do. Look at that. That's the level of the snow. Getting out of here is gonna be insane. And it's still coming down. Let's get out of here. What? Oh, it's up. I got it. I got it. Oh, look at that. It's quite a bit of snow. Definitely as much as they were predicting. You can actually still see our footprints. They're just buried. We'll make wayfinding easy. I know y'all can't see it, but there used to be a tarp here. Pretty early in the night that thing collapsed. Snowy world. Oh look, you made a little path. You're very helpful. She didn't let me grab it yet. I was, I grabbed it and you started scraping it. From your pee? No, from the ice. Yeah, the one thing that's not natural color in this forest. That's why I put them there. I was like, otherwise they're just gonna get buried in the snow. It's always amazing just how much stuff can fit in these bags. You can set up like two camps and be comfortable. Also, you took up a lot of space. I never left my mat. Huh? I never left my mat. No, your jacket is so big it like encroaches. It was in the sleeping bag. Yeah, except for the furry part. Your hood, they kept falling off. Bad design. There's our campsite. A few more snows and there's gonna be no evidence we ever even walked on this. A beautiful little winter wonderland to wake up to. Grab my water bottle. Put your fancy Evian water in there. Who's fancy? Me. You're gonna need to hold these. I forgot how tight your pockets are. There's not a lot of room with my straps and pockets and stuff like that. No. Okay, going first. You got the better shoes. I'm gonna put my strap on. Put your strap on? Gotta put my strap on, babe. First, let's pull my pants up. I don't know if I like the jacket without the furry stuff. It really adds to it. There's the Chad. Chad is gonna need some help getting back onto the highway. And by help we mean chains. And even a thousand feet lower, it snowed quite a bit. But he's definitely gonna need some help to make it to the roof. All right. It can make it. It can do it. Go back down. Go back down. Usually, Chad is very good at this. Apparently, he was able to do it last time. It was right there. All right, give me the snow brush. Just so I don't blow snow all over the road. Dude, he's an ice scraper to sweep five inches of snow. Wow, how much easier is that, huh? We did it. Easier coming down than going up. Always is. And well, Chad made it out without chains. Just drove right through that. It was only a few inches deep. Yeah, it wasn't that. Just about every other car in the world wouldn't even consider that an obstacle. But we made it. We succeeded. It was cold. It was wet. All of our stuff is soaked. That's why it's just gonna live in the back and drain into the bed. No, that's why we're gonna go find somewhere to hang it up and dry it off. I have cold hands. I will tickle you. Thank you for watching. You can't tickle me in this. That works a little bit, actually. I don't like that. Thanks for liking and commenting, and thank you for watching this video. The winter is just beginning, so there is at least six more months of this, and I am definitely looking forward to it. See you next time. Bye.
