Winter Camping in ABANDONED FIRE LOOKOUT! | Snowshoeing and Camping in Remote Mountain Wilderness!

Going in. It's a very dirty car. This is as far as we could make it. You can't tell but there's a lot of snow up there. And hopefully the uh snow will make it so nobody else gets the same idea or they get stuck. And then they have to turn around. But we're all packed and ready so it's time to hit the road on foot. The grunt was necessary. The grunt is always necessary. Everybody knows that vocalizing your efforts makes them easier and more realistic. So long Chad. We'll see you soon. Have we ever mentioned the fact that Chad is your car's name? Chad is the name of my car. You haven't picked up on that. It was all me. We chose this specific fire lookout because it's much more secret. It's not nearly as well known even in the local Washington community. We made it where the snow begins. Our snowshoes are already off. Yeah I think we're gonna be putting those on and off but at a certain point we're gonna have to have them on for a while. Once the snow gets deep enough here at about almost 5,000 feet you can't even tell that there's a flat road under us. Look at how steep the snow bank is. We made it. We finally see all three mountains. We're going in. It's seen better days actually. Yeah I was uh informed there was a wood stove. I can see where it used to be but at least it's not gonna get too cold. Well you don't know that. How does that feel? Much better. We are so hungry. I just want to know if there's anything in these. Everything's a little old. Can't really open it. Some ancient pots and pans. Time to make food. I mean it was time to make food like two hours ago. All right you heard her. We're making food. I'm making food. You're eating food. A lot of bread. A lot of bread. That'll be dinner. I brought stuff for s'mores but apparently there's no fireplace. We might just be eating chocolate with graham crackers. Tomato soup. Essentials. I can't do it. I'm so tired. All the matches are in my bag. Why'd you tie this into like a... You tied it. I did not. That's fake news. You said oh here's a bag and then I gave it to you and you tied it. No I gave you the bag. You tied it. I did not tie it. I know you tied it. I did not. You open it 10 hours later. So what I'm gonna do, cook that for like another couple minutes and then I'm gonna put it in a bowl and then I'm gonna throw a couple slices of ham on there and fry it a tiny bit before I put it in the sandwich. I assume that's gonna taste better. How good is it gonna get? Looks good to me. Yeah look at that. Beautiful. That's a massive sandwich. With the sun getting lower I thought I'd prop open this window so we can get a little more natural light in there but check out this unbelievable view in the low light. That gives us quite a view from inside. Would you look at that? Rosa was taking a little nap. It seems I've woken her up. You're loud. Hi. Hi. You're so cute. All bundled up. Are you putting the camera here? Yes I am. It's always fun in the fire lookouts in Washington to look at all the all the graffiti and people writing their names and the date down. Oh my god I think it's too bright. I opened the windows. Nice and bright. And seeing when people came and what they did is always fun. Take one last look at our mountains here. Our mountains? Yes. Do we own a mountain? Do we not? I mean. Who owns the world? Us. We are on top of the world right now and there's nobody else here so I do think we own the mountains. Making some fresh water out of this snow. We didn't choose to pack any more water than we had because we knew this was going to be an option. I guess we'll get to see how dense the snow actually is. It's melted and transfer it over. Sounds like a pee. Maybe it does. A lot of things seem like pee to you. I don't know why. She likes to point out that any water spilling. It sounds like you're peeing. Reminds her of pee. Now I just squeeze this in and let it filter. Sound like I'm peeing? No. This actually does. That's a different sound. This is the only one that sounds like I'm peeing. Nope. Listen it's like I'm peeing right into a toilet. That's not what it sounds like. I don't know how she pees but it's I don't know how you pee but you pee weird. It's like a normal person. You pee like a man. Listen to this. Tell me this doesn't sound like pee right here. Okay. Here we go. I mean that sounds like pee. It doesn't sound like pee. I see water. I have to pick the weak. We're tired okay. This one right here. Are these drugs? Yes. The other trick is circle breathing. You breathe through your nose and blow out your mouth. The aggressive breathing that is happening. There's a hole in this. Conveniently I have duct tape right here in my pocket. Yeah there's a hole right there in this. If there was ever a time to be You could inflate this in space. Good night. I love you most. Just woke up. Some of us maybe. And look at that. Look at that sunrise outside. There's something else. How's it look? It's pretty. It's cold. It looks cold. There's Mount Adams. The hole in my sleeping mat must have not been the only one because this thing just instantly deflated. That didn't serve much good but I'll try to reinflate it for a few minutes and see if I can get some precious warmth. We took another nap after sunrise and now it's time to get up and pack up. You didn't take a nap. You watched Geocaster. Well I didn't take a sleep last night either because I can't. I'm sorry what is taking a sleep? Is that a thing? Well taking a nap is a thing. Why can't taking a sleep be a thing? Get up. Up. Up. Easy boom. Sleeping in the sun. Ah it's cold. I regret all life choices. I'm gonna pretend like everything is glamorous okay. It's not. It's miserable. Breakfast. How cold is your butt? How was your sled? It's cold but it was fun. You look like you had fun. There's a lot of screaming. Well that was screaming of fun. Fun screaming. Fun screaming. We took our jackets off because it's hot. Yeah it didn't make it too far before it got hot. I went on a sled ride. I don't know about you. I had a lot of fun. My butt is wet. I was running down the hill. So we're getting sunburns again. You're getting a sunburn. I am for sure. I can't even open my eyes. You brought sunscreen. I will in a second. There you go. I made it. You made it. Back in the shade. Your favorite place. Yes. I'm gonna relax and not put this glove over my neck. Gosh the sun is awful. Not a big fan of snowshoes. I mean I'm ready to feel my feet on solid ground. Yesterday we could walk. Had them in the same hat. Running out of snow. Taking off our snowshoes. Hopefully for the last time. Hopefully for the last time. Yep. Snow's looking sparse so we should be able to walk through it. We're almost back. Chad. Almost back to Chad. Clean clothing. Exactly. It's a good sight after carrying our snowshoes the last mile and a half there. Found the Chad. We made it back and we're all tired. All tired and packed back up and in the car. And by packed back up you mean we threw everything in the car and we're gonna deal with it when we get home? Yes. That's always what we mean. That's the plan. But it's always a good feeling when you get back to the car and all the windows are still there. Okay we only got robbed once. And you know what? And it was in Oregon and we don't like Oregon. But we're not that far from Oregon. But we don't like Oregon. We do not like Oregon. But yes we are we are back. We are safe. It was quite a journey.
