 What a look you just gave me. Are we starting right now? We're starting right now. Right now, this is the moment we're beginning while holding your... What was that face you just gave me? It's a face of, I got a million things in my mind right now. Focus, intensity, it's time. That is my focus face. Like, laundry, going. We've never done an intro right here at the laundry, but folks, this is our last day before leaving for a quite a while. And this is my last video that's going to be going up for a while. So we got a home vlog here for you today. We're packing up, getting ready to leave for the enchanted Colorado monster fishing, camping, trip, been looking forward to it forever. So what are you doing, honey? Well, right now I'm just putting your clothes away. Look, how many goog and clothing items do you wash in a week, typically? That's all you wear. I probably wear the boat shorts. These are actually not googan. Yeah, these are not. Rare non-goog and pair. But these right here, I wear those pretty much every day. I probably wash no kidding, probably about 30 pair a week. 30 pair a week? I probably only wear three pair a week. No. Are you kidding me? Three pair a week. No. Have you checked your stash? I mean, there's a maximum of seven. No. So there's no way that it's 30. It's not over yet. I probably do your laundry twice a week. Okay. You'd have to wash those shorts three times a day. No, you have more than that. Do you want to go check? Let's check. Okay. Well, you've also packed some and you're wearing one. Yeah, how does that add up to 20 a week? There's no way. The math isn't there. It's there. I promise you. 20 pairs of boat shorts a week? You want to do the laundry? I don't even own 20 pairs. Yes, you do. No, I do not. Okay, you own 10, at least 10. And then I do your laundry twice a week. I do 20 right there. I do two loads of laundry. But I would have to take them off during the day, throw them in there, and then you'd have to wash them again that night. Listen, how many pairs of shorts? You're losing. No. You're losing. Why are we arguing about this? Because you are wrong on this matter. The woman is never wrong. All right. We'll go with woman math on this one. Just don't let her do the taxes, you know what I'm saying? Boys, I'm going to tell you something right now. I don't need to be on a shiitake mushroom list before we head out here. So I shouldn't even argue. Okay. I'm going to go apologize. Okay. I would just say I just wanted to apologize for arguing. Okay. Thank you. I don't want to start the trip off that way. I just want to say thank you for actually doing my laundry even if it is 20 times a week. Because you don't do the laundry. I do. That is correct. I just realized that in my man brain and I just wanted to apologize. Thank you. So some folks, when they go camping, they rough it a little bit, you know? And I do that sometimes. Other folks, they go eating. They gain weight when they're camping, which is highly possible. And on this trip, we're going to try to do that. We have one big refrigerator that is in our camper. And we have the baskets for it right here. We're going to try to load everything for four persons in this. Four persons for, gosh, over 10 days. Yeah. I really hope that it all fits in here. I really don't know. I just keep prepping. Like I've been prepping for food. So show everybody what you've done. So in order to save time, because when you're camping, you want to enjoy it, you know, I don't want to be, I like to cook, but I don't want to be cooking like all day, all the time, constantly having to worry about it. So Stephanie has gone ahead and actually cooked and frozen things. So would you like to see what's on the menu? I would. We've got burgers that, those are your dear, I don't know if they're dear or ill, but they're your dear burgers. Sort of ungulate burger. Went ahead and seasoned them. The extra mile, these are not cooked. That's just their patty form. Here's some plain rice. You want to throw out some chicken? Already cooked. Already cooked. Good to go. Here's some pulled pork. Already has the salt on it. Already cooked. Wabam. Here is some white chicken chili. Already cooked. That is amazing. White chicken chili, that is going to be so fantastic when it's cold. Here's marinated chicken thighs. These are not cooked. So this would be like the only meal that we actually need to cook. Okay. And we got that cast iron. A lock without chubbing. Here is the regular dear chili with cornbread. Oh, even got that cornbread on deck. Ready to go now. Here is a fresh rotisserie chicken that you can have for lunch. Maybe with the rice. Options. We've got options here. Man. Okay. You've actually cooked more than I thought you did. Oh yeah. We're not going hungry. Here's two packs of bacon. Gotta have that bacon. Prepped mac and cheese. Are you mac and cheese? Kids gotta have it. Kids gotta have that mac and cheese. Prepped cinnamon rolls. You already know. These are OSG's famous cinnamon rolls right here. Donuts. And we got cheater donuts. These donuts are actually really good. I don't know how good they are for you. Yeah, they're definitely not. They're super easy and delicious with a coffee in the morning. Kids like them. We're still going. Hot dogs. They're coming out. What are these? Weiner. Barbecue mini weiners. Yeah. They're fully cooked. So lunch. Easy to throw together lunch. Easy peasy weiners. These are pre-boiled potatoes so that they can cook up really fast. Oh heck yeah. Because potatoes always take a long time. Yeah. So I already cut them. Pre-boiled them. They do need seasoning. And I got two of those. One for like pulled pork. One for... I don't know. Another lunch. Oh yeah. More potatoes. Oh yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. We're still going. We've got pumpkin muffins. There's only four. There's only four pumpkin muffins. No, no, no. There's not. There's eight. Just individual packs. Ten. Okay. All right. There's hash browns for breakfast. I think I'm only going to bring one packet. Okay. That's smart. Can I get the icing? Here's the icing for the cinnamon rolls. Can you not forget that icing? I don't know if that's all going to fit in there. I know. That's why I'm like I'm freaking out. We're about to find out. We're about to find out. I was going to bring some deer sausage for breakfast. And then we also got fish. Are we going to bring fish or are you going to catch fish? We might not be able to bring it. Here's the deal. We need to pack all this in here. So let's see if it fits. If we can fit fish, let's bring it. If not, we're just going to have to provide. Yeah. And you know, you know, your boy's going to provide. All right. We're going to be out there. I got so many. I'm bringing more fishing equipment than I ever have on this trip. I'm so excited for it. But we have frozen blue catfish and crappies. We've got a lot. We've got a lot of fish. Yeah. And that's just the frozen stuff. And I've got other refrigerated stuff. And this was not in one day. It's not like you whipped all this up in one day. This is over the course of a few weeks. And these are actually parts of dinners that we've had. So you've just gone ahead and cooked extra on a dinner. And that way you're not rushing to do all this in one day. Kind of makes it easy. Yeah. I think you've made a beautiful dinner and lunch selection here. Thank you. And we are going to be remote camping. If you guys have seen the videos before, I'll have a link here where you can go check out some of the other ones. But it's awesome. But you are remote. There is no, hey, let's, let's go chilies tonight. Get a couple of Marge hunting. You know, they got, they got a special deal. So we've got a Dometic freezer cooler. So it can run, it's got two sides. So we can run both freezer or both fridge or one of each. So I would, yeah, I would, I would go with like things that are going to be colder and later in the week. You want to keep colder longer, put them on the bottom. And then things you'll access quicker up top that maybe you want to throw out quicker. Got to eat good in the woods, burn a lot of calories up there, but we're here to have a good time. And I'm hopefully going to catch my PB brown trout while I'm up there. PB brown trout deserves some PB brown waters. And while we were up in Tennessee a few weeks ago, visiting the music city bass fishing team, we went to the Greenbriar distillery that makes the Nelson brothers whiskey. They also have a bourbon and I tried their reserve bourbon. 107 proof latchy up on fire, but it was one of the, the most complex flavored bourbons I'd ever had. I thought it was delicious and really not that expensive for the taste. I was, I was not blown away, but I was very impressed for the price. So went ahead and pick that up and that's going to be our, our brown water for the trip. Fit in there good. Look, you can just like, Hey, chili, or do you want marinade chicken? I mean, that's elite. This is like by the fifth time that you go out there, you kind of got things on lockdown. That is elite food packing right there. Let's get the most out of it. Also, by the way, if you guys know, if you guys know any other sneaky little brown waters that are good for the money, like under 50 bucks or 60 bucks, comment down below, let everybody know. Pick that up. So you can pick that thing up. How heavy is that? Nicely done, sweetheart. That would have been much more difficult. Had those things not been frozen in vacuum sealed. Yeah. Well, in the way that I froze them, I laid them down flat so that I could stack them in there. You knew you had a visual. I'm actually pretty proud. All right. That's elite. Moving on to fridge items. We've got to have Ben's little yogurt. So I'm going to have to break these down. My goodness. I wish I had all parents will understand. Look at the yogurt. These are now, I hate to admit this, but this is like one of the easiest ways to hush a kid up real quick. They're crying. Pouch them up. You parents, you know what we're talking about right now. And quite honestly, they just need to quit with these things and come out with like a camelback system or a big gallon system. It's like, it's like a water. You just sit on the side of the crib and boom, you just latch that on and have a hose where they just, it's like a slurpee because kids eat so much yogurt. I don't know how much money we spend on yogurt, but not, we don't have enough sponsorships on this channel to even afford the yogurt that we go through. I would not be doing it. You're not going to eat vegetables with yogurt? No, I'm not really. Come on. You always eat salads while we're out there. I will, but like if I was camping by myself, there wouldn't be anything green in there. I would have something pickled like this. I always feel like when I have a pickled item, some vinegar, it's good for your body. And we all, we can't forget the all natural, our eggs, our egg production, it's down right now. It's down. We got a broody and it's just been so hot. So we're mostly just getting our, our blue, our Easter eggers. The thing that's different is that we have to bring so many diapers, which takes a ton of room. I know. I wish you didn't have four diapers. Me too. This is Ben's initiation into the wild. Two years old, it's become family tradition now. It has. Two years old. Two years old. I'm going to venture out to the woods remotely. If you want to be in the family, if you can't hack it, you know, we'll replace you. I'll show everybody my cabinetry, the cabinetry work. And see, did you light on? Oh, look how good. We did all right. I did. All right. We did all right. So it came with just this shelf right here. So we added some three quarter inch plywood dividers and we did pocket holes, did pocket holes on the sides to mount that. And then I did some LED lighting in there as well, which was really cheap and very effective. And I ran that off of a little wiring from DC for our USB charger on the other side. I already had that. So I ran that on some WAGO connectors. And then I ran that switch in there as well. Seeing in there. I was like, honey, do I really need to put lighting in here? Honey, you were kind of, you were wishing that I said no. Like, no, it's okay. We didn't have to do it. But that's it. I think we'll both appreciate it if you do the wink, wink. Yeah. And so it took, it took me a little while. That was one of those things where like, I can't see. I need to get to the coffee, dad. I mean, I need to, I need to get the juice flowing. And we couldn't see anything in there. We're pulling things out. And we have an outer latch now. That's true. Locks it down so things won't fall out. So last year when we went camping, just about everything fell out of the pantry when we were going down the back roads. They swung open. So we, we've, we've upgraded. We've upgraded every year. You know what you're going to need to do next year? You're going to need to put a net. I'm going to show you this, a net from like here to there so that whatever child is up here, we can lock them in at night and they can't fall out. Well, we already got some curtains. We got some like airline curtains. A curtain is not going to keep them from falling out. Listen, we got a daughter who sleepwalks. She's going to fall out of that thing. I've got plenty of paracord. We'll figure it out. If it was just you and me, we could have taken off like a week ago. Yeah. Just get a grouse in the woods, a couple of trout and be all right. Yeah. They got to have their packs. They got to have their snacks. They got to have their little, little munchies. Well, yeah. If you want them, if you want a comfortable experience with kids, you got to make them comfortable. It's the whole. That's the sad truth. It's kind of like bringing your wife. You got to make things comfortable. Yeah. Yeah. Don't we all know. You guys have probably seen some of my videos where I'm like solo camping in the back of my truck or, you know, backpack hunting or staying at the deer lease and it's, it's super minimalistic. The reason I have this thing is because of that sweet lady in there. All right. So we got the pantry all packed up. And normally I would take a smaller pack than this, but because I am filming everything and I have kids now, two of them are going to the woods with me. I got to carry extra stuff if we're going hiking. And they're coming, coming along the river fishing with me and all that. So this is going to be the pack I'm taking. Now something I added to my pack set up for this year for hunting season and just camping is this really cool grail jug. OSG actually got me this. So it's a little heavy, you know, for backpacking, but I'm used to carrying extra equipment for filming all that. So it's not that big of a deal. But this is a filter all built in to a cup. So nice thing about mountain camping is you're usually around some sort of water source. So just find you some, some moving water. Put it in here and you can filter it using this cup. So that way I don't have to sit there with the, I've always used like the Sawyer device sit there, put it into one of these. Now I can just filter it right into this and I'm going to carry probably one extra jug just to have even more water or a bladder. Speaking of water, this is a water that we're taking in right here. That is a 20 liter and we'll get into that after we go through this four gallon jug right here. My experience to each person the first few days we'll drink about three quarters of a gallon to a gallon of water every day. So we're definitely going to run out we'll have to go get water, filter water. But when we first start I put it in this jug right here and I like using this jug to keep it outside. Are you ready? I'm ready. I came to bring you more things. More things. Hey actually you found that this morning and said I did. I actually said maybe this would be a good idea to put in the kids toy box which is significantly grown this year. But I found this by the lake it was going to be trash so I thought you know it's collapsible kids can play. Well this is what happens when you give me a bigger box than I originally planned for. It gives me more space and then I end up filling it up. You got to give the woman a smaller space so that I'm more limited. Well I gave you a camper I filled it right? If you guys are wondering about the weight of the trailer it is around 6500 pounds dry you know once we get everything in there it's probably pushing about 8000 pounds with water and all the gear. So I think the max towing on this particular engine tow package is 9000. I know and the gasoline is like 12000 but on this particular 3.0 diesel they say 9000 which doesn't make sense why it would go down with the diesel. However I will say I get around 13 to 14 miles to the gallon using this diesel engine with everything loaded down. That's pretty good. The frequent campers that love breakfast so I'm going to show you a little hack right now we've been doing for a few years. Kids you want to help me get some eggs? Ben you can't you can't go in there you don't have shoes buddy. I do. Look at all these roosters these pesky little roosters. Come on in. I don't want my going to get my sister a journey. Okay alright I'll get them. Daddy will get them. We got misters going on the chickens. Come on Ben. It's going to be so hot tomorrow. And old Barry White has gone back to broody mode which is unfortunate which means she loves to sit on eggs. Sorry girl. Sorry. So getting about 3 eggs a day and with the ones we got right now that's going to make a baker's dozen most likely. What are you looking at big boy? You're going to be breasted out here in another month. Look at me like that. Better keep them in check Colonel. You're a big trouble. Do you do a no-no? Is that bad? Yeah. What did he do? Well he was insistent on holding one. I kept saying be gentle be gentle please don't break it please don't break it. He takes both of those fingers and cracks it and sees us do it. It's just part of learning at the tree house from down one egg but you'll make it. Now you can crack the eggs. Full circle example. He's okay now. Give him a pacifier. So what we normally do we have one less egg now sorry. One morning you're just going to have to suffer. That's fine. Crack them all in one bowl go ahead and whisk them up like you would scrambled eggs and we're going to put it in here. So all you have to do when you are ready to make some scrambled eggs in the morning is just open it up. This is cool. Where did you get these? My dad got these for me. Probably off Amazon. Probably. But they were able to go with make your own juices. Yeah they're originally designed for juices but we use them for eggs. They're perfect for camping or traveling. They're glass. They're easy to clean. Perfect size. We've used them for eggs. I have the inside milk brought our little milk for the grits. Yeah if you don't want to carry a full gallon jug don't have room for it. Those are pretty nice and they're DPA free. All natural full granola. Let's see if you can do a full mom mode crack. With one hand? Mom mode in the kitchen with a baby on a hip. Crap in there. Look at that. We actually have less calcium in our eggs right now because we've been feeding half and half feed. Yeah they're a little thinner than usual. Well that's why it cracked so easily with Ben. And we refeed our eggshells to the chickens. We just let them eat their own eggshells again. Let's try another. I'm thinking we probably need to go put the baby down there. You got those little eye fangs. I used to be able to do this. There you go. Yeah yeah that's good. That's great. They're going to go, no there's no way they're going to go in that funnel. That's my whiskey flask funnel right there. She's in the kids toy box. I think it is. It's in the sandbox. Just showcasing. This is like the mom skills challenge. Look at that. She's got it. Emmy do not bump my arm. I'm not trying to. Oh it's going to be perfect. We couldn't even add more eggs if we wanted to. Thanks Ben for crack. Look at that. Like orange juice. OJ. How much do you like eggs? I do not like. Why? You know your mom ate like three to five eggs a day. When you were in her tummy. So it's probably why you don't like eggs. She's probably smelling it. Don't you even think about getting sick. He's there. They went to school one day. You just got this news. Well danglers we're all set. We're packed to the gills. This is going to be Ben's initiation into the woods. First time camping as a family of four. And it's going to be an absolute adventure. I cannot wait. I've been thinking about this all year long. We look forward to it but I'm going to do more fishing on this trip than I ever have. It's just going to be so much fun. You guys stay tuned. I'm not going to be back until about a week from when you see this video. We're going to go ham. We're going to come back with some absolute banger videos. Subscribe right here to the channel. Wish us good luck on our journey. I'll see you guys back in the great outdoors on the next one.
