We were finally able to snag a dispersed campsite along a river that we’ve had our eye on for a while. The last time we tried to get it there was already someone camped there. The weather cooperated with us for most of the day and then the rain set in overnight. We didn’t put up the Slumberjack canopy so we packed up quickly in the morning and headed out. We didn’t know it yet, but during the night a storm had blown a huge tree over, blocking the road out. We’ve never had this happen to us before but luckily we had the chainsaw on this camping trip and were able to cut the tree and pull it out of the way.

You are the type of campers that we all like to follow. You give campers a get name. It is great to see people do the right thing. All the great tips on camping In teardrop trailer.
Love all the different angles!!
What a nice site. Peaceful. Thank you for taking us along. Love your video production and music. Perfect time to camp. No crowds 👌🏻. Good on you guys for cleaning up the fire pit. More times than not, we have found our camping site fire pit used as a trash receptacle. Sucks how some people are so inconsiderate.
Miss the steamroller. lol. 🤗👨🏼🚒
Thanks for the kind words. It was an amazing site, just needed some love 👍🏻
Thanks for the hat and sticker but mostly the note! Hope you are enjoying England. I expect a report on English beer!
Our pleasure, Pat!! Thanks as always for the support! 🍻 Report coming soon!! 🎓
That's awesome. Every time I go camping, I always clean up the area. I just wish people would take out what they pack in. Good job on cutting that tree and good idea on the strap for the tree.
Thanks for doing your part 🤘🏻
Thanks for teaching me that I may need an electric chain saw! and how to take down and move a tree. You make me want to camp every weekend. I hope England is fabulous for you both!!
Camping every weekend? Yes. Do it!! 🤷♂️
Quick tip leveling your trailer, lay your level flat instead of on edge. Two of the bubbles are perpendicular to each other so you can get front back and side level at the same time 🙂
Also, just recently found your channel, love it very much. You guys are awesome and inspiring. I will hopefully be getting myself a small teardrop to tow with my two-door Jeep in the next few months. Thanks and keep it up!!
Great tip, thanks for sharing! And glad you found us!
Just discovered your channel, have to say, one of the best overlanding, adventure channels I've watched! I can see I have a lot of content to go through but enjoying it all! Thank you!
Thanks for the amazing feedback!! Hope you enjoy our channel!
Preparedness is key! I always seem to pack more than needed. FYI... tip for those who want to get out there, Inspect your camp site area well. Don't set up near standing dead wood and watch for dead branches in overhead tree canopy. As we have seen, you may get into a site, but may have issues getting out. Thanks to the Weisman's for another great video!🙂
Thanks for the tips!!
I usually bring a tow strap along when I head to the woods. I’ve dragged logs and downed trees out of the way a few times.
Nice job on the tree and now you know where to grab some wood for next time you venture down that road. Also excellent idea throwing the strap down before the tree dropped.
🤘🏻 thanks Scott! Yeah, she's a smart one 😉 She actually kept saying, "where's Scott Alpine when you need him!"
I was probably sleeping in.
Glad to see you upping your camping food game. The salmon looked good!
Haha! Definitely hit the spot! Maybe we can find some salmon hot dogs 🌭??
Thanks!
I just wanted to say thanks for taking care of the environment, your cleaning of the campsite. I camp a lot off grid in Northern Alberta and I have had to do some cleaning up, small stuff, beer cans, plastic bottles and other trash but not pee and TP in a bag. God love ya for doing what you do to make the next visit for the next person coming. Take care.
Wow! Thank you for the donation!! We'll use that to pick up some more trash bags 🤘🏻 Just trying to do our part and hopefully spread this chore, which is never-ending!
Great campsite & thank God for that 1 bar of Chainsaw power! 🤣 Have a great time in England!!
Haha! Just enough! Thank you!
LOVETHIS.......Greenworks Chainsaw......I have a 12",16", and a new 80v 18"......AND.....I have the same Fiskars Splitting Axe.......Once you refine the edge a bit it really splits wood.....I also have the Fiskars Wood Splitting Maul
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure! 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Another nice video. You two are the premier camping couple.
Thank you ☺️
Surprises are good and bad for sure! Nice video and have a safe trip!
Thanks!!
Thank you for cleaning up some slobs nastiness. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Everyone wouldn't pick up a bag like that
It's just the right thing to do 👍🏻
Thanks!!
Our pleasure! 😜
Sure was beautiful, Great job on the Salmon, Looked like a whole lot of firewood. someone will enjoy that. Hope all was great in Merry olde England!
👌🏻 Thanks!
Awesome
Have a great and safe trip to England 🎉
Thank you!!
Nicely done with that fallen tree, one can go anywhere with a jeep, a winch and a chainsaw...
Thanks! So TRUE!
Have fun in England! That's a long drive! ;) Tree - 0, Wisemans -1.
HA!! Already had so many dreams of having the rig and trailer over here!
Firewood warms you three or four times! LOL
Awesome 💪
💯
Getting jiggy with that drone, haha
😅 just glad it still flies!
Send some of that weather down here, please! Can't seem to shake summer so far 🥵🤬
We'll do our best!!
New viewer! Thanks for cleaning up the camp spot. I’m in the PNW as well and have been camping around here for 40+ years. Where did you get your shirt lol? We have “camping shirts” and I would like to add it to the arsenal. Also have the same pop up pit. Keep the vids coming.
Our pleasure, thanks for joining us!! Well, you can find that shirt on our website 👍🏻 whereswiseman.com/merch/p/nature-shit-t-shirt
Lol my wife told me they said check out our merch. Just ordered and subbed . 🎉.
🤣 thanks for the support!! Let us know how the shirt is, trying a new provider 👌🏻
If you close your eyes and listen from 1:15 to 1:50, you start to quickly wonder what the hell is going on. 😂
😅
People with those funny sounding saws. A Silky they are good a 26 inch one is great for things like that!!! Not too over priced and very handy. Or the Sthil will work great.
Yes the Chemical Trails do kill the trees with the heavy metals in their mix.
"Steamroller"...love the Strangebrew reference! Take off eh?
🤣🍻🍩
One more reason to be prepared!
💯
Super cudos for trash cleanup. People suck! I love the propex heater! And wow how clutch your chainsaw was.
Yup! Propex and chainsaw are our best friends. 😅
Great video!
Thanks for watching! 🍻
Sweet video
Thanks! 🤘🏻
Note to self include a buck saw as well as my usual highlift jack and axe in my pioneering gear!
💯!!
That's a nice campsite. Thanks for cleaning it up. I can't count the number of sites we've picked up bag loads of garbage. On that note, we use a long handled graberator (trash picker) so we don't have to use our hands for most of the garbage.
Why didn't you run a shackle to a tree and winch the tree so it's a little more off the road?
PS: your kitchen cabinet height is low compared to ours. I'm 5' 8" and have needed a stool to stand on in stone instances....😂
Had already committed to the tow strap and there was plenty of room to get by.
Come to Norway once,so nice to meet you👍😃
We were just taking about that area!! May have to soon...
Great video. U need some soft shackles they are much safer.
We do!!! 👍🏻
Thanks for picking up other people's 🤢 garbage 👍 steamroller I remember that movie scene 🤣
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😅
Who the heck pees in a plastic bag in the forest? Good on you guys for cleaning up after the previous turds. Another great video! Hugs and cheers from across the pond
🤘🏻thanks friends! Right??! Barfed in a bag once but carried it around all day until I could a waste bin. Come on man....
Awesome video. Quite a surprise there. Fortutenately, you were prepared. BTW, forget to ask in the latest video. Did you have to replace the crashed drone or was it ok?
Thanks! Actually a little epoxy goes a long way lol. She's back in the skies 👍🏻
Thanks for cleaning up the place, and please don't tell anyone about it. I know exactly where this is, would be a shame if it got overrun.
Our pleasure 👍🏻 🤐
Some people take a magnet and go around campsites and fireplaces to remove all the nails because they can be harmful in so many ways. Sorry you had to clean up other people's mess 😕 Enjoy England ❤ Stay vigilant and safe as I see you are here 😊 God bless 🙏
Thank you 😊 back at ya 🙏
I just carry a bow saw. You never know when trees fall down. I always inspect my campsite for widow makers though.
Yes! Made us think twice about checking for dead fall near camp. That made it very real!
Have not been able to find a post where you say what your boon docking navigation app is. I'm looking for a recommendation. Thanks!
Google maps, onx offroad, gaia, Google earth 👍🏻
i want light sticks like that...12 inchers!!
HahahHA!! We'll keep our eye out maybe add to Website LOL
You need a couple of soft shackles, they would have made it a little easier to hook up the strap.
💯💯!
Wow, good thing you had a chainsaw & straps!!
Yep, came in handy!! 😅
Can I ask where this campsite is at? So pretty. Always looking for places like this.
Whoever left that trash bag: urine trouble.
- No love, the Where's Wiseman audience
Haha! 👍🏻
Probably could’ve driven over that log once you cut it and it fell flat.
Did you roof bars come with your teardrop or are they aftermarket? I have a old Rustic Trails Grizzly, that is shaped much like yours, and I need some roof mounting bars.
Proprietary to Timberleaf trailers
Some people just suck. Unfortunately, it is all too common. Great job cleaning up.
👊🏽
I have cleaned up my share of dump sites.... Er campsites. Leave em cleaner than you find them
💯🤘🏻
Don’t think that any “site” you can drive to and that has been used by others qualifies as wilderness or dispersed camping. But those kinds of places at least help keep people out of what’s left of the real backwoods.
Definitely not wilderness, but is dispersed. Regardless, we love all forms of getting out of civilization 👍🏻
Looks like a “BIG FOOT” warning
🤣 Seems to be getting closer...

Trapped? Picture and title is click bait. But good ad for electric saw. We have been up to the same thing, but a small Husqvarna saw worked wonders.
Just glad we had the saw 🤷♂️🤷♀️ would've been a long day...
Gotta love a chainsaw!
💯
You can be fined for bringing firewood from outside the area to camp. This is one of the ways invasive pests are introduced. The forest na$i love to fine campers 🤬
Good thing we live in the area 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Messy firepits and trash just frost me.
😡🤬
From where do I recognize you. You look very familiar?? I do not recognize your partner>>??>>>
You might want to throw a good Bow Saw in your rig, takes very little room 😉
Not a bad idea!!
@@WheresWisemansaved my butt several times 😊
Yep if you’re going off road always, I mean always have a gas chainsaw or an electric or battery powered, WITH a generator and charger. Plus a tow chain. If you don’t, have plenty of extra food water and propane. It happens people.
Agreed!
Isn’t it amazing that actual human beings are capable of finding their way to remote beautiful places like that and get out. But yet have a mindset of its ok to leave the place TRASHED. Makes you wonder????? Maybe I’m the stupid one but really W.T.F.
We'll never understand it.... just have to keep doing what we can
I also live in PNW OREGON, it sucks when you have to clean up one of your favorite places because of the previous POS campers. We cleaned out two gallons of nails from the fire pit 🤬
Just have to keep doing our part 👍🏻
Always carry a chainsaw when in the woods.
