What I ACTUALLY Do (and EAT) While Camping for 3 Days
[Music] [Music] [Music] goodbye I'm got to tighten this thing I put just that too much water I might make it got a moment of quietness last night I did not sleep very well unfortunately I was so comfortable like the temperature was perfect I had two sleeping bags on it was nice and warm but it was so windy so the sound of that really kind of kept me up today I'm going to show you everything that I packed to eat and cook here at camp I think we're going to go hiking just enjoy the day outside away from the city in the desert my hair mess you you got a little bump a bump yeah like right there in the middle my hair last night was insane in the tent it was just like rubbing against the tent so it was so much static how did you sleep last night pretty good I just want to get some sun that's what I would love got a little bit of cloud coverage our camp over there we took Nick's truck look how cool his truck looks it was built in 98 Toyota Tacoma that's 312,000 on it man it it got here just fine it's outlived many cars that are much younger it's so cold so cold I'm doing hash browns sausage eggs and spinach it's just going to be really good I think I have this nice maple flavored breakfast sausage I'm going to use only half of that and some hash browns it's time to get get serious here the gloves off I've got the hash browns done I just set them aside on plates and now I'm cooking the breakfast sausage it smells so good and then I'm going to put the eggs right in this Canan I'm not even going to scrap scramble them first in a bowl because I don't want to have an extra dish so I'm just going to kind of scramble them in the pan [Music] breakfast is done this looks amazing I am so hungry [Music] we cleaned up camp just kind of organized our stuff and now we're going to go on a hike we decided since it's still pretty cold and windy we might as well just hike get some exercise and get warm that way and then hopefully this afternoon it will kind of die down and to be a little bit warmer and we can just sit and chill at camp but that is the plan for the morning we decided instead of hiking to rent some bikes this was a very impulsive decision but we're in Kodachrome Basin state park and we just kind of saw the bikes and we're like let's do that so here we are look how pretty this is though there's Nick unable to raise his seat these bikes are definitely not high quality yeah that's going to be rough look at this road oh de [Music] woohoo I'm having so much fun on the bike it's been a while since I've biked but it's fun because you can just cover so much more ground and so it's cool I've hiked around here before but we're going to go a little bit deeper than I hiked last time I was here so having fun starting to warm up finally [Music] we dropped the bikes and now we're hiking into this cave it's called cool cave and it is pretty cool [Music] we are in the cave this is looking straight up at the sky how cool is this light in this alcove [Music] this cave did live up to its name it is very cool now we're heading back to the bikes this little bush has been blowing in the wind and just matting down the sand Nick got a new camera and uh he is obsessed with it [Music] [Music] for lunch I am doing really easy sandwiches so we don't have to cook anything but I have roast beef provolone turkey lettuce avocado tomato red onion pickles and that's what we're going to do for lunch [Music] just got back to the tent and there is so much sand in here no it's so windy out [Music] I slept for about an hour and I feel a lot better I was so tired this afternoon I think it's just the sun and the wind and just being outside hiking and biking and all that kind of stuff really drained me so that was nice but now I think I'm going to hop out of the tent and we're going to slowly start to get ready to make dinner I made these energy bites at home and I'm just snacking on this before dinner [Music] I'm going to go see if I can lure Nick out of the tent with some of [Music] these oh Nick [Music] he's gone oh no where did he go I have a snack for you you can't eat food in the tent you have to come out here you go here's a snack fed the monster come on out it's okay it's nice out here you can come out I have a snack for you go on I'll lead it right here come on just a little [Music] further here you go come on come on [Music] that was a good nap [Music] huh it worked he's getting out of the tent for a [Music] snack thank you we've got the camp kitchen set up I have all my ingredients out for my camper Hamburger Helper this is so good it's definitely becoming one of my favorites this recipe is on the blog already so I'll link to it in the description below so we're going to dive in this has beef I have shell pasta cheese sour cream in this cute little container here spice mix that I made at home so I'm not packing a bunch of spices or measuring things here at Camp I just did that at home which is nice and easy a little bit of olive oil some diced tomatoes and that is it only made in one pot so with this recipe you need a can of diced tomatoes which don't want to forget the can opener or make sure you buy one that has the easy lid thing or I always have my Leatherman with me and it has a can opener on there and a pinch so just something to think about because you don't want to get to camp and realize you can't open this [Music] [Music] now comes time to add the pasta to make this a one pot meal we're going to cook the pasta in this liquid and the sauce and you just kind of mix it pretty frequently and since we're not straining out the starch in the pasta it creates a really creamy dish so going to put the pasta right in there oh God woo that was almost a camping disaster okay now I know this looks wrong but you're just going to try to get all that pasta down in there and bring this up to a boil and you got to mix frequently in order to get everything to cook [Music] evenly with this recipe you can add more water as needed so I just tested one and they're not quite done we are at elevation here so it's probably going to take a little bit longer so I'm going to add a little bit more water as needed I'm just kind of guesstimating there um you don't want to add too much because at the end of this at the end of cooking you don't want it to be soupy it's a fine line but you can see even now it's really getting very creamy the pasta is getting there that's perfect turn this off okay now to here I'm just going to mix in some cheddar cheese just about a handful or so some sour cream there all this [Music] in that's really good I top it with a little bit of parsley if you want to get fancy and just have a little pop of green on there but I don't even think I'm going to bother doing that tonight I think we're just going to eat it just like [Music] this the wind has finally died down which is just so [Music] quiet dinner's done I just have to clean up the pots and the bowls and stuff we have a little bit of leftovers which I put in here I'm full and ready to hit the tent already even though it is oh my God it's only 6:45 okay well I'm going to hang out here a little bit I have a bar of chocolate that I'm going to snack on clean up and then hit the tent I have energy now that I ate dinner some frost good morning it is a lot colder this morning but I slept really well last night because it was quite pretty cold so I just scrambled to get up for sunrise because it was so pretty and now the colors are gone did not get up early enough we are finally getting some sun it has been a very cold cloudy morning but now that we have some sun I'm going to make breakfast and I was going to do the same thing I did yesterday morning but I woke up really craving some pancakes so I'm going to do pancakes and eggs instead and I have some blueberries that are barely hanging in there so I'm going to try to salvage those make some blueberry pancakes can you tell that I'm a Knitter I got just knitted stuff galore right now but it's keeping me warm oh God oh God not bad not [Music] bad this is one of my go-to breakfasts protein pancakes some eggs it all cooks in one cast iron pan it tastes amazing and it's a go-to for us we are getting ready to pack up this camp and then we're going to go to a different area to camp and I wanted to quickly update you on this sweater before I go because oh my coffee cup is sliding so I wanted to update you on this because if you saw this video here I'll link to it somewhere here but that's where I showed you I was starting to make this sweater and so I wanted to show you the finished product I really think it turned out pretty cool for my first attempt at designing a sweater I'm really happy happy with it I just have the detailing on the sleeves here and then all of this color work which I think turned out really cool I love the colors that I chose here I'm glad I brought in the lighter Ash color to really give it some contrast and then I think overall I would like to tweak the pattern just a little bit and this size is probably a tad too small for me so there's a few things that I would need to tweak but my plan is to hopefully have patterns for on rivalry one of these days I mean this is why I got into knitting was so I could knit these wool sweaters for camping and hiking and eventually I just want to have a library of my own patterns so I am working towards that but it's probably going to be quite a while until I'm there because I want to get them test knit and Tech edited and all that kind of stuff but yeah for my first attempt I'm really really happy with this and I just wanted to update you guys before we left I enjoyed reading all the comments on that other video of all of the knits that watch this channel it's so cool that there's quite a big knitting community here so I love being able to just share this new hobby and craft as well as my love for the outdoors and camping so I'm going to go help Nick pack up and uh we're going to hit the road [Music] [Music] [Music] we are still camping we found a new campsite so tomorrow morning we're planning to wake up early and go do a hike and we wanted to be a little bit closer to that trailhead so that we don't have to drive an hour in the morning so we found a new dispersed camp spot set up the tent there it is and yeah that's kind of all we've been doing just hanging out got the sleeping pads in there so far getting ready for dinner so this is the col saw that I made just a couple hours ago I just mixed everything in here so that it could marinate for a little while I have some barbecue sauce that I brought from home and all of this leftover pulled pork which I'm just going to cook in this cast iron pan so it's going to be a really easy dinner and then the tent way over there sun is just setting and it's gotten really quiet there's no wind look at how cool those clouds are those clouds right there [Music] wow [Music] the sun is just rising 0:22:28.520,1193:02:47.295 [Music] and we've got some coffee being made we are starting the hike it's nice and sandy look at these views it's getting hot fast but this trail has been really fun because there's not actually really much of a trail this does require some route finding skills because it's mostly hiking on slick rock but it's really fun feels like another planet out here and I just love it I love hiking on slick rock through this landscape it's just so [Music] crazy hey this is so [Music] cool I think we're getting [Music] close woo just climbed up that hill I think we're here oh my God I just need noticed it oh my gosh this is huge this is bizarre for scale I mean you can see how tiny Nick looks compared to this look at this tree just growing out of all of this rock look at the roots how cool is that snack time so this is stuff that I brought a couple apples jerky sticks normal bars and salts we're going to have a snack with this view we lugged a rope all the way up here because as I was researching this hike I read that there was an acre point and a rope and some steps and you could go down into it and I thought well I'd rather use my own rope than some random rope so we brought the Rope but after getting here the Anchor Point is actually broken and honestly I don't feel the need to go down in there it is so pristine there's no Footprints and I just love the way that the wind has kind of created those waves in the sand it just looks so beautiful so I yeah I'm very happy to not even go down there the sand just looks so cool with no footprints back at the truck that was about 8 miles of hiking and I am pretty tired I am ready for lunch just hiking in the sand and then the slick rock which just so much up and then down up and down so it's kind of just harder on the ankles too cuz you're hiking on a slant but overall so much fun and it's about 12:30 so we're going to head back to camp and have some lunch [Music] we going to have some salt [Music] packet There is almost nothing better than a sandwich a really good sandwich after a long hike and that's what I'm making the same thing I made the other day just still have a bunch of that turkey roast beef and all of the toppings and I'm so excited about this at the end of the hike salt water and a sandwich is really all I can think about [Music] this is going to be hard to eat but after a good [Music] hike M we are going to take a little nap in the tent before we pack things up and head back to the city Nick has a meeting at the end of the week and normally I would like a little bit more downtime at camp but it was so cold and windy a lot of this trip that it was just nice to keep moving with some hikes so overall a really fun adventurous few days but if
