In this video, I hike out to have a nice camp in the rain. I love to camp in the rain and I do it frequently. I was very excited to cook on the campfire and try out a plow point tarp shelter. I got a very unpleasant surprise, which you will see in the video.
I am a big believer that sometimes you have to know when to throw in the towel.

Some areas just don't make good campsites, no matter how many trees they have.
Hey Sam! I think that yellow wrapped/wrinkled paper was either a McDonald's wrap or Burger King or...ah-em a poo bag for a person if not a dog...?? You will not believe the crap I have found around my area hometown...and it gets me very angry because I have no idea why or how the junk got there in the first place.
Love it when you post new stuff Sam! Keep it up so I can live vicariously through you!
Haha awesome Matt! It’s my pleasure bud, thanks for watching 🍺🍌
Enjoyed your video, Sam. This is proof that every camp just isn't always as easy as the way it's portrayed because of clever editing. You went out & did your thing. Enjoy your successes, learn from your failures and ignore the negative comments. Rock on!
Thank you so much, I needed that!
You are very resilient, Sam. Wish you all the enjoyment and success!
Thank you so much!
Sam, it’s important to learn from mistakes. That you are willing to demonstrate this brings real value to your video. Thanks. Texas
Thanks Jeff! It was a tough decision to post this because it’s not my finest moment. But I just want to be real and show it how it happens. I appreciate the kind words.
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I liked and subscribed. That yellow plastic is more than likely what's left of a mylar balloon someone let go to remember a loved one etc... I find them all the time in my travels. I found one about 160 miles from a town one time deer hunting here in Oklahoma. I burn them in my fires. Appreciate your honesty. Love what You're doing.👍👍 God Bless!
Very interesting! Thanks for watching man. I appreciate the encouragement 🍺🍌
Excellent call heading out crap happens. My dome light went out priceless end 🤣😂👍💯
Hahaha my car is a POS for real! Thanks for watching bud.
Really enjoyed the video. No matter if you are very experienced, or new at something, things can happen. I very much appreciated the honesty without a polished video. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that. This was a tough for me and it was tough to post it as is also. But I wanted to show it how it happened.
Thank you for sharing this video with me.
Thank you for watching
Always have to have a plan B and C. Try wrapping the asparagus in bacon and cooking over the coals. It’s always an adventure and we learn from your mistakes. Happy New Year!
Thanks Steve!! As I was watching, I thought I should have wrap the asparagus in the bacon. Next time!
Good job. You’re safe. That’s all that matters.
Thanks Linda!
Love the video. So serene and love the sound of the rain drops.
Me too bud, me too.
i like it when things go wrong, exciting! :) thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. Wasn’t sure how people would feel about it.
Hah! I made that same tarp setup mistake the first time I went winter (18 deg F and ~20 " of snow and still snowing!) tarp-camping, too. Also, after getting up (never got to sleep for more than a half hour or so) at 3-hour intervals to take care of business, on the third wake-up I said THWI; packed up at 0400 and walked out in the dark! Cheers!
Dude that sounds like an experience! It’s fun to challenge yourself but at a certain point it’s no fun being out there anymore
Another great video. I appreciate that you still post even when the camp doesn’t go as planned. Personally, I don’t know that I’d have handled hiking out of the woods in the pitch darkness and coming across an ancient cemetery with the same positive attitude you did. I’ve seen too many horror movies. 😱😂
Thanks man! Yeah it was definitely a spooky time but I thought it was best to leave. And I wanted to show the honest version. By the way there is a video of me camping in that graveyard in the rain too if you go check me channel. Not too far back.
I really enjoy you're videos,keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
You seem like such a nice young man. I play your videos every night for my grandmother before she falls asleep. She says it keeps the nightmares away.
another cool vid bratha ...and yes i agree ..strange camping is a really fun guy to watch as well...and as mattoast says ... i live vicariously through you guys
Hey Mark! Glad I could provide some entertainment for you bud
Always a good day when a notification pops up for a new video from you!
Adam you’re the man, thanks for watching dude
Interesting outing... Nice clip.
Thanks bud! Got a new video going up in the morning just so you know
Wow, bei dem Regen ein Feuer zu starten und es am laufen zu halten ist schon eine super Leistung 👍🔥👍
Hi Strange camping and Kevin with small plots!
hindsight would say to bring a patch kit whenever inflatable items are brought
Sure. However when I patched this pad once I was home, the directions said to let the pad sit for 4 hours before re-inflating. In the future I’ll take a patch kit and super glue because that won’t take long.
Now was the time to test your survival skills.
Great stuff brother. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s always great seeing you deal with things the way you do. What’s that saying, “the difference between an adventure and an ordeal is attitude.” Well, I’d be stoked to adventure with you one day.
Thanks Miles!! I needed that man
That Mora is one tough little knife 🔪
Dude it really is! It’s like $20 too
I would have put fire closer to tarp and laid some huge punky logs over the fire to protect it from the rain.😊
Rewatching some videos. This is one I haven’t seen in a while. I’m glad you didn’t get lost while off trail. I definitely would have.
This was a good one, but I always hate having to throw in the towel
great idea suspending plowpoint from the line! I thought about it but never did it. kudos...
Thanks! I thought it worked pretty good
Can of soup or a bag of soup you add water to would go with the wet weather you are in, bring extra food for cold or wet weather (seems always hungry when cold or wet and meal helps warm up
It’s great advice, I need to get better at having contingency plans.
👍👍👍👍 awesome wow
Thanks!
Great vid!! Thanks.
Thank you!!!
Sam Bananas is the Man .I need to start a camping trip like you do...
Good luck my friend!
Good evening brother good to see you 🤝
Nice to see ya bud!
That yellow plastic is likely hazard tape used on public works or other construction sites. The black labelling may have worn off through the years of blowing around. Its found deep ito the woods. Nice video Bud.
That’s an interesting idea, could be! Thanks for watching bud🍺🍌
Glad you made it out safely
Thanks bud!
Love the realness bro !
Thank you! I try to keep it real haha
@@CampingwithSamBananas no bro seeing that you are authentic is kool dude
I really like that you show the names of the knots in the video! Maybe you've always done that, but I didn't think of it untill now XD
Yeah I try to do it, but sometimes I do forget. Thank you for watching!
Came here to say the same. Good stuff Sam
Another great video, Sam. I really do like that Silky Gomboy saw.
Dude it really does seem to be the perfect saw for this stuff. The only drawback is it’s somewhat easy to break the blade.
getting those blair witch vibes
Haha dude for real, it sucks hiking out at night 🤣
Sam, very awesome video. -Venustas Heated Apparel
Dude that forgotten cemetery is so cool, I think we all at a certain point in life enjoy the little things that a lot of people around us have forgotten in everyday life. In a way we should feel bad for those people that don’t realize that. Anyways Thanks for the cool and fun videos! Stay safe and have fun out there sir. ✌🏻
Thank you Shayne!
That is why I like your channel, things that go right you so it, keep making your videos,👍👍👍
Thanks Harold! I try to keep it real around here haha
Came across this video and checked your channel out. Im digging it. Keep up the great work! (Subscribed)
Awesome, thank you!
Hell yes camp in the cemetery again.
I think I will!
Excellent video
Thanks, hi Dave 👋
I lived within and managed the Lismore City Council Cemetery & Crematorium complex of NSW Australia for 23yrs, never seen a thing.
Haha yeah I didn’t either and didn’t expect to. It’s kind of funny how many people strongly believe in ghosts
Good spirit!
Thank you!
Leave no trace. So sad it must be said, repeatedly. Thanks for the post. Always enjoyable.
Thanks bud! Yeah it’s a bummer but at least it was a small enough amount for me to hike out.
Couple of discreet sips from the banana flask and the hike is a bit more interesting, right?😂
Haha yes sir!!!
Nothing like humping out all that extra water weight from wet gear! Hate it! I'll hike in during the dark but once I'm there, I am NOT leaving! Looked fun though.
It was fun for what it was! I should have stayed, I would have probably been fine.
Love your realism and Honesty Sam! introduced to me thru your Colab on "Small Plots" with Kevin love your stuff!
Awesome man, thanks for watching! Kevin is the man.
You can cook frozen meat, just at a lower temp til it thaws out, been doing it all my life hehe !
Good to know!
สวัสดีแซม ในที่สุดคุณก็มา เรารอคุณอยู่นะ ขอบคุณกับ วีดีโอ ที่ยอดเยี่ยม love you sam
IdealKnives….. up …but not sure I’d say up and coming.
You never know where people are going to end up, but I think he’s off to a great start. He’s got a lot more subscribers and views than I did by that time.
Oh for sure have a few more beers. lol
🍺🍌
Looks like fun.
Haha it was an adventure, that’s for sure
The video is very beautiful. I am watching the video from Bangladesh. I want to give you more beautiful videos and I understand English a little less but your scenes look very beautiful. I pray you go far.👉💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank you so much!
They're so light I carry a large roll up Thermarest foam pad and a Zlite. Even if my nice air pad gives up and I'm not able to repair I can still be fine and pretty comfy. Besides I find so many uses for an extra pad in creature comforts I just make it a practice.
Sorry about your bad night put but at least you got out and gained experiance
Thanks for watching Aaron! On my next trip, I took two foam mats and it worked pretty well. You’re right they are super light. I may need to make that common practice in the future.
Last hike looks like a SirSpooks vid in the making lol!
Haha dude for real! I’m not gonna lie, it was a bit unnerving
Nice 👍 .. thanks for sharing.
Knowing when to call it a day (or night 😏) and bail is a an important 'Survival Skill' as any other in one's Toolbox .. applicable in not only the Outdoors. There is always the next time.
Take care ..
Thanks Thomas, I agree!
@@CampingwithSamBananas 👍
Well done my friend. Love your honesty
Thanks man! I try to keep it real around here haha 🍺🍌
Another superb video! Keep em coming my man! I need SOME way to pass my time at work 🤣
Haha awesome, glad I could help!
Very Nice👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🍌🍌🍌
I've just found a banana hip flask with funnel on amazon 😋 it is only £6-98 thank you for another 1st class video I hope that all's well and that you and Mrs Banana 🍌 are doing well today and look forward to seeing more of your good videos keep up the good work John England
Nice John, thank you!
Looks like a whataburger wrapper lol.
Good honest reporting, always nice to see folks put their hands up to a fail :-)
Thank you! I appreciate you all being supportive about having to throw in the towel.
@@CampingwithSamBananas I think folks appreciate it it because we all KNOW shit goes tits in seconds and it ain't all Hollywood like some BC channels would have us believe, we relate to nightmares far easier than dreams lol.
I prefered pop up tent...secured and warmed
I've been following him since his second video strange Dan
He’s great :)
Sam, if u put a tall stick behind the ploughpoint to pull up the centre attached cordage and then bring it down to a peg/stump etc... You get a higher headspace inside the tarp :-)
Hey good thinking! A Y branch might be even better, I’ll have to remember that
I'm enjoying your videos but i noticed it rains a lot when your out stay safe and keep making videos
Thanks, you too!
Like going camping with a friend. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Dave! Glad to have you along brother.
Yes another over night in the old cemetery yes please and be careful hopefully u didn’t have to much to drink
Luckily this time I only drank two beers and it had been hours since I drank them. I think I will camp in that century again. Thanks for watching bud!
Epic mate - sorry about the puncture but a great vid. I wouldn't have loved the cemetery at night. hahah happy hiking and hi from Australia
Hi Kate 👋 your channel looks awesome!! Subbed and I’m watching your dehydrated food video now.
@@CampingwithSamBananas oh so cool thanks mate. Wasn’t fishing for subs but that’s ace. Thanks heaps.
Is it possible that you could get a headlamp? So your hands free when it becomes dark.
I saw the graveyard vid listed in my recs. I guess another one would be cool.
It's up if you'd like to watch it. I actually three graveyard videos on my channel.
Hey Sam bananas Tony from Iowa USA checking in great show you definitely try 2 👍's up young man and bacon stay dry lol
Thanks Tony! I do my best but I just try to keep it real and show it how it really happens. Thanks for watching, cheers 🍺🤣
Good on you for getting out there. IMHO carry less shit, get better with what you do carry, ALWAYS carry a basic repair kit to include tenacious tape. Drive on my friend. Cheers Banana!
Thank you! I started carrying it after this trip. Thank goodness I wasn't a 5 hour hike from the car. Only about 45 minutes or so.
Nice start and finish ( bummer on the twig ) but adventure ain't scripted - keep outdoors
Thanks bud! It really does go that way sometimes.
Can’t stand the litter bugs either buddy. Doesn’t seem how far you go they still find a way lol. Sucked about the sleep pad but you seemed to recover well 😁
Thanks bud! I hate it too, I just can't do much about it. It really sucked to leave, but that's how it goes sometimes.
awh bummer ... but you made it out safe for many more adventures.
Yeah exactly. Sometimes it's just not worth it.
@@CampingwithSamBananas the night hike back to the car woulda freaked me out lol too spooky 😳🤣🤣🤣👻
@@fastwigreviewwithlisabee8598 Haha it was definitely a little "Blair Witch Project-y"
Been there, done that. Not fun to pack up wet gear and hike out in the wet dark!!
Haha nope!
Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and go. At least you had common sense and a good light. Half the people out there don’t even have that! Keep it up
Thank you Matt!
Looks like a whataburger wrapper
It does!
Great video...smart decision....Happy New Year!
Thanks Melvin!
One reason I watch your videos is your great attitude. 👍
Thanks Curt! I always try to keep my spirits up for you guys.
I know.....I know, I find that extremely remarkable as well! 👍😉😃
Another great video Sam but that graveyard creeps me out! 😱
Haha I know, it's spooky right?!
So you know that area quite well, and still struggling in there?
Awesome video 🎥👍
Thanks Paul, nice to see ya bud!
Lol Sam id be running out of fear at night thinking a skin walker or the Blair witch project awww ..
It was spooky for sure
Dude you always smother your fires before they get going good. Hint, thick white smoke. Don't pile on so much wood till it really gets going good and hot. I still like you're videos dude you are one I can't wait to see. Thanks man
Thanks Lillian! I swear next time I’m going to follow all the rules to making a perfect fire on the next one haha. I’m always in a rush because shooting the trip makes everything take so much longer. Thank you for watching, I appreciate the view and the feedback. Stuff like this helps me get better.
Sam I don't understand high 20s you had enough insulation on the ground ? Your decision bit it would have been fine
In hindsight I may have been alright. It was below freezing, and the foam mat only has an R Value of about 1.5. I would have liked leaves for some insulation but all the leaves were wet. Meaning when it dropped below freezing, I’d be laying on a bed of frozen leaves.
Why is the fire 20 ft from his shelter?
At 30:26 in the video what are the lights in the sky behind your head to the right?
It's light flares given off by the camera.
Boy bet you were glad to see your car! Great thing is you can curl up and sleep in there. Bacon is good everywhere! Love you son
Hi Mom! I was super happy to see the car lol
@@CampingwithSamBananas I bet! I always am 😂
Nice to see ya bud
Hi 👋
Chummy, how about a repair kit with patch material?
I started carrying one after this trip
Its a good thing you have that raincoat.....the way that tarp is.......jeez....dont get me started.
Not criticizing at all, but I'm thinking that if I was in that situation I would have weighed the risk of being a bit cold from the ground (use some gear for insulation underneath??) versus the, IMO, less safer option of bushwacking back to the the trail and hiking in the darkness. High risk of injury.....Of course I wasn't there so you made your own decision. Just throwing it out there for others to think about should they encounter that situation.
I appreciate the perspective. Having to do it again, I think I might have tried to tough it out. These are woods I'm in a lot and I know them very well. So I decided to leave. I never what to let my pride stop me from throwing in the towel.
