 Welcome back to the great outdoors everybody. I have got a challenge video for you today 24 hours me in the silver bullet. I'm gonna be camping out Trying to catch some fish to eat. I've got pretty much everything I need to survive out here on the lake for 24 hours But we will need to be catching some fish for dinner today's video sponsor and literally powering us through the next 24 hours is going to be Blue Eddy an awesome product. So while we're launching the boat, let me tell you about it This is the Blue Eddy AC 180 and this thing blows away any other power station I've ever used and you will not believe how much power it packs Having a portable power station is an essential part of what I do because I'm always having to carry cameras and equipment with Me to recharge and I do a lot of truck camping a lot of hunting and fishing trips that I need that extra power for But it's also a great thing just to have around the house for Emergencies and just to power those things that you don't want to run a long extension court to Blue Eddy hit the nail on the head with this AC 180 because it's the perfect match of size power and affordability This has 1,800 watts of total output and it's got 1,152 watt hours. What does that mean? That means you're gonna be able to run a lot of your high output electrical items Like your portable tools saws drills your heating elements Heaters space heaters things like that off this in a portable unit most units most power stations that are Up to around 2,000 watts of output are very heavy and bulky and big This is something that you can pick up and then you can still run a lot of those high output items on My favorite things about this AC 180 is it's very simple construction You know, I'm rough on my equipment things gonna be riding around on the truck. It's very very solid unit and simple It's got four AC outputs. It's got multiple DC USB ports with a cigarette lighter as well And you can easily switch from AC to DC power when it does come time to recharge this unit It blows away any other portable power station. I've ever owned 1,400 watts of AC input you're gonna get about an 80% charge in 45 minutes That's incredible. So quick trip in recharge it on AC and you're gonna be good to go with Days of power again on this unit You can also hook it up to the solar panels and recharge it that way if you are a truck or a trailer camper even RV this is a must right here You know the whole point of having a unit like this is to have quiet efficient power. This thing runs at 40 Decibels allows you to enjoy everything and not interrupt conversations. I hate loud Gasoline running generators. It just ruins the camping trip It's a good idea for everyone to keep something like this at home as well Just in case the power goes out for a little while in those emergencies You can keep your refrigerators running keep that food secure anything else that you need to run This is a good idea as just having as a backup if you need it the price on these for 1,800 watts of output is really affordable guys, so go check them out There's a link in the description Secure one of these for your outdoor adventures and home security We'll be using this to power us through the rest of the trip on board the silver bullet for 24 hours So let's get on with the challenge Leaving the dock My nemesis leg Ray Roberts huge leg got a state park on it I kind of want to get lost in here want to spend an over night to bond with it Maybe that will help me with fishing out here. So throughout today's video We were going to be utilizing the Blue Eddy AC 180. It's going to be powering our refrigerator Our camera batteries. I can even recharge the boat I've got a night fishing live going to try a little night fishing as well You guys know I use the refrigerator a lot Especially in the summer Don't have to worry about ice. It's really nice. So 24 hours. It'll be no problem with that system Okay, I've got all the gear strapped down in the back. I'll do a gear run through with you guys once we get into our first spot If you guys can see my watch Says 105 105 we're gonna officially end the challenge at one. I was on the water Probably about 12 30, but we'll call it one. So in terms of gear already told you about the Blue Eddy We've got the Dometic refrigerator On the back here. I've got my my sleeping pad my cowboy roll. I've never used it down on the boat. So It's hot We're gonna see how that works out, but I have a cook kit and one of these Husky boxes and then I've got basically a sleep kit and the other one and some other little extras To hopefully get us through the bug situation mosquitoes have been terrible. So We could get eaten alive out here. Now. My goal is to catch some food for dinner White bass should be prevalent They usually cooperate. We'll see It's middle of the day right now. So fishing is going to suck for a while and crappie Not gonna eat a bass, but we're gonna do a little bass fishing So crappie and white bass is really gonna be our first mission to try to get something in the box Let's grab some poles and let's see if the fish are biting Okay, just had a bluegill Tap my jig, but yeah Croppies got something to be dinner It's just a little appetizer. I mean bluegill with giant bass. I think is what we're dealing with There we go. Come on, baby dinner Get in here top of the tree crappie You're not starving tonight. I think that one will measure. Let's go Let's go 11 inch for baby. Oh Yes Mmm god, that just feels different when you don't have anything to eat That just hits a little different Yes That one crappie will pretty much sustain me. I got bombarded by bluegills. They bit one of my bumping bug legs off I think there's some huge catfish in there, too That's part of what that is Protein in the box y'all it's taking me two hours to catch a couple fish But I got a couple fish feeling better. Let's do a blue eddy power check up and see how much power we've got in here after two hours Running the fridge in the heat and hear the fan cutting on in here. It's really quiet 92% still let's go see if we can find us another brush pile That's got some hog jammers on it like this one. They just didn't want to buy it I don't know they were definitely in there and there was bluegill and he looked amazing There's another one just across the way that I found last time I was out here and it It might be good, too. So let's go check it out and see if we can catch a big haul bass Brush pile number two looks like a very similar situation. There's not as many fish, but Biggins hanging on top just chunked a swim bait out here. I'm gonna throw that on the peak and see what happens Absolutely nothing Got him to react to it That was awesome He was really close to the boat. I just Sped it up real quick. Yeah, but you're strong. I've got a big muscle for you I lost my swim bait, but Got the fish. It's a nice three and a half four pounder That's how it's supposed to happen right there First cast there was a bigger one and this one was on top of a tree and he tagged it Whoo, baby. There we go 24 hour challenge of our having fun and we got dinner good times Get old summer brush pile bass That's a good way to catch these deep brush ball brush pal bass and Also like long extended points and drop-offs Instead of throwing it on the the weighted one Like I've got over here Well, they're both weighted, but this is a weighted weedless hook basically It's just got a this is a 3-8 ounce. I think maybe might even be a quarter on here So really good for like 10 foot or less This is a three-quarter ounce jighead Throw something like that. It's got some got some pop on it So throw that on the jighead and I'll probably not get another bite, but you never know I might fire up the school here Things could get crazy So I'm gonna do Just a slight mod here and Just kiss the nose off Just to give it a flat surface to wedge up against And just thread it through and If you want to get synomical about it like what I did with that last one is I took the used Swim baits off this because this has a screw lock in the nose And that will rip out eventually after you catch enough fish on it But you can take that snip it a little bit and you can still get some clean plastic behind it So you can save your ones use on the On the belly weighted hook and throw them on the jighead It's definitely different on the water when you know, you're gonna be sleeping out here Just kind of taking it breezy right now. I'm idling over things. I've never idle it around Looking for brush rocks Right now is like prime offshore fishing you know three to Five o'clock in the afternoon, so I'm just looking slak is humongous. It's got a lot of good deep contours and I'm sure if I spent enough hours out here. I could find something really cool We are hooked up boys spoon in the flats for kitty cats Yes, sir big blues. It's my second one I've hooked I am figuring something out about catfish that is pretty crazy These blue cats like to eat spoons They're so close to the bottom. They look like the bottom This one's got leeches all over it But I just had another one slam it About five minutes before this one no barbs That is tasty dinner my friends. Oh, yeah Contacts white bass located Yeah, baby Home how many species is that today catfish bluegill largemouth crappie white bass Doing it That's pretty fun. So I Just stopped off at a point and happened to see movement out here about 26 feet of water and I Got bamboozled on the spoon getting bamboozled right now. It's a it's a tack mode down there. Oh, yeah You can see the fish Look at them following it. They're like, where where are you going man? What do you got? Give it to me? There's a large object amongst The little guys here See what we got going on Spoon is going in. Oh, we got him. I think we got him Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's a largey. No, it's not Thought it was gonna be the way it was coming Coming up to the top just a big old white bass Mission accomplished on dinner all the way. I think I'm gonna do catfish dinner tonight Maybe even crappie breakfasts now Possibly midnight crappie snack. Yeah, maybe stay up and fish got a little special Light right here. This glows underwater. I can plug this in And drop down and fish on it for crappie or bass or whatever whatever wants to buy it. We also might get Some rain. I've been looking at the forecast. It's looking like a 70% chance right now The wee hours possibly tomorrow morning mid-morning, so That should be fun. So you guys stay tuned Found me a nice little calm cove With some shade on the way give another hour We'll go ahead start cleaning up our catfish Cooking it up and it's almost six o'clock power check On the blue Eddie We are at 84% ladies and gentlemen. It says we have 96 hours left I like this spot. I might actually sleep here The bugs are gonna be an issue because the woods is close. They're gonna fly on out and attack me Let's get our kitty cat out of the live well. We're probably gonna have to expire it first give it the old bonk and then We'll get the water. I've never cleaned a fish with my feet in the water. So this should be interesting already see some flies bugs inside of here is my cook kit so I've got A lot of a kutramah got spices Got stuff for tea even got some honey in there Got her propane. Got our trusty Coleman And we've got stuff to eat with and of course Don't leave home without a filet knife got a filet knife in there I've also got another one that I keep in the bass boat and I've even got a Little rug so we can cook on top of that way if we have anything hot We don't want want it getting on our actual boat carpet. So We're all set up here. This thing's really digging in This things are really awesome. I do like these wrappers We just expired our catfish using the old rock method It's actually so nice right here on the bank and I've got a lay down that I'm just gonna carry the catfish over there If we lay them up, I'm not even gonna get the goo on the silver bullet Excuse me. I'll be right back Look at how beautiful that is y'all Hardly any red in that meat the blue catfish just has Tremendous meat. I mean, they're awesome. I've been eating them a lot lately at home and Blackened I was able to do the skinning method just barely Where I didn't have to pull the skin off. I just did it with the filet knife I did it on log, which wasn't the best surface, but still got most of the meat off of it So we'll do the next one and then we'll throw in the skillet throw this one in the fridge for now It is now time to start cooking nice shade over here I'm gonna get some dinner Maybe get an hour 30 minutes a daylight get a topwater explosion. Hopefully all right. Let's hope that our propane works Got me a little lighting device here ferro rod See if this works So go So one of the reasons that I wanted to do this challenge was because I'm gonna love the outdoors. I've I've been thinking about doing this challenge for a while, but I got asked To send in some information for casting for the show alone Someone on casting was interested In me just from watching the channel and it I didn't get cast for the show Don't worry. It got me thinking like could I could I do that? let me know in the comments if you like this kind of stuff and I will push myself because I'm genuine genuine I Don't know how to talk, but I can just tell you I'm very interested in the survival aspect of things It goes right along with hunting fishing Especially backcountry hunting or skillet is smoking. We should probably put some butter in it Just thought I'd give you a little back story to what's going on here. Oh, yeah We are going to butter the heck out of that y'all can't have too much butter No such thing Okay, turn that down turn that down. We got a nice brown butter there. That's that's pretty much perfect Whatever just bit me is not perfect. That was horrendously painful spice this up real quick Cosmo SPG little sprinkles landed on the fish there the rest landed in the boat We had a guy stop off at the the Guggen HQ the other day veteran and he's a big big beer of the channels and He gave me some meat massage gave all the boys some meat massage So I'm gonna hit it with a little meat massage and SPG no binder on the fish. I usually do not do a binder on the fish I'm glad I put my little my little rug down because Made ourselves a juicy mess right here Butters hot catfish quadrants Going in. Yeah, buddy. We're looking about ready for a flip y'all Mmm Looking pretty perfect our perfectly seasoned cast iron Doing nicely. I think just a few more minutes and this is gonna be good to go. So we've got a fresh lemon That's gonna be a tasty treat on top. Then I've also got some beats time check We are six hours in so let's get a blue eddy update. I am charging a few more things on This now not just the fridge is going I've been charging my light for tonight Also my GoPro batteries And we're at 81% Says ninety nine point nine hours. It just means Kind of infinite at the level. It's only pulling two watts right now because fridge is Just out of temperature at likes right now. It's not it's not on it's not running Just kind of settled we don't have the sun on us right now So it's it's not gonna pull as much power just as an experiment for fun when I got back from a recent trip I left the blue eddy and my Dometic in the back of my truck and I left it running and It lasted five and a half days Five and a half days, and that wasn't like super hot temperatures, but that's pretty darn good. All right Let's just see what we're dealing with here Cut the heat off. Let's pull one of these thin pieces off the skillet Can I get a like button smash for a cold pop and a tester piece catfish bite please? Come on now. Come on holler at me blue cat caught About three and a half hours ago SPG Takes it home every time y'all That pop in it is amazing. Okay. I'm gonna add a little lemon to that Don't even need it really needs no catch up That was a fine piece of meat fresh slice of limo clean the hands Some of the juices But usually I like to clean this cast iron pretty soon after I'm done cooking it. I've got a little metal scraper it's a chain scraper and Why it's still hot not like piping hot why it's still hot Put a little water in it, and I'll just scrape it with that Rarely use soap. I'll use a little bit of camp suds if you know what that is rinse it out good with water And I'll even re-butter it. I don't re-grease it nothing And it's good. This is this this baby's been with me on a lot of different adventures this blue catfish I Think is leading the pack for me now on Tastiest freshwater fish now when I taste a crappie. I'm like I should go cat fishing more I'm sad to say that it hurts me to say that but they are Fantastic, especially the blue cats. So all you bass guys out there Next time you're going out bass fishing and you Hook into one of those gooey catfish and you're not that gum. I got a catfish Try this recipe. Okay, put it in a either a cast iron Or a just stainless steel skillet Go on a medium-high heat Sear it with some butter and some spices Do one flip on it? Then Already have your oven heated to 375 Throw it in that oven for about eight to ten minutes Don't flip it Pull it out. Let it rest a few minutes Tell me what you think because I've been doing that at home and it is it's the jam Okay, I'm done with dinner. I think I'm going to boot that crappie actually out of the live well because that catfish was extremely feeling delicious and I feel very confident about the white bass. We are about to Hopefully get a sundown top water bite. That's the next goal Let's let this guy go and then let's get to fishing You were so lucky that I caught that catfish. See ya Running out light Sneaking up on me With some clouds. I just had one Oh, I have a fish. What is this? Oh my gosh It's so small. I didn't even feel it spotted bass first official night bass Captured, okay, another species today y'all. Holy cow Get it. I might be approaching a record personal record for myself for most Most species in one day lights are officially on This is when things get real interesting. I know you can't see me right now, but We found ourselves a nice tree going night dangling. Okay. I'm gonna send this over the side Well, this is sick Check that out y'all. It's really cool Send that down a little bit See if we can attract some fish. I've got some trees They're pretty close to me here. I don't know if you can see those First customer right here, baby. I don't know what kind of minnow this is He's he's darting around I want to see some big dark bass shadows down there All right guys, there's the light Right there and you could start to see there's some activity Forming below right here. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool to be able to see this on the life scope. I Think it's almost time to drop a crappie jig down there There's tons of life under the boat y'all. So I've got the life scope sitting facing the light and I've I've got the back graph Connected to the front life scope Transducer so I can sit in my seat and watch life scope. It's the best Late night boat entertainment there is Okay guys updates We just got our first fish In the boat night fishing. That's a crappie Night fishing under the lights man. I Think that's my first time just dropping a light down in the middle of the lake and getting a fish Got that fish on the Chubby grubby. Oh, oh, just have another one Before bed update. We got ourselves a white bass everybody Send them back down into the light Okay, we got our late night entertainment with our fishing light pretty fun stuff So I can continue Dangling around there if I see any extra big fish coming in now. It's It's time for bed set up. So let's grab the roll By the way, my camera light that I'm running right now is on AC power and it's powered through the Blue Eddie Let's unbuckle this look at that. It is like my front boat deck Was made for this. Oh, yeah We're gonna sleep pretty good They are just coming in y'all They are just coming in Oh That's gonna be a white bass Stuck in the light. Oh No stuck in my light. I get the light and the fish It's like either get a white bass or a crappie Wa bam Here we go guys. That's how I'm gonna end the night right there. That's fun times I'll see you guys in the morning. We survived the night. There was a storm. There was some bad winds that came in and I was just Bobbing up and down got a little tough, but we made it. What a beautiful way to wake up though. Oh my gosh Time to slip on the crocs Look for a topwater body. I think I see some birds that are going They're all flying over here It's got to be something going on. All right Let's take this opportunity to get a blue eddy power check power check 64 percent Still so ran the fridge all night at 35 degrees and it is good to go Definitely some shad spawning right here I can see the shed spot. It's got popped Something's popping me First casket and bottled by a white bass. Let's see what this is Start today I'll take a first cast Topwater eat. Oh my gosh. I have a gar possibly Gar on top water Is that a thing? Yes, it is You know how we do it big old snappy nose. Let's see. How can I unhook you? I'm losing a finger this morning. It's my first topwater Connection on a gar and I got him Unhooked himself doesn't seem like a long time to you've been out here about 18 didn't get the best sleep Hungry But at least it's not raining right now, so I probably should have kept all those white bass I Was expecting explosions just to keep happening and that shats ball lasted Like 30 to 40 minutes. I have fished so much in this 24 hours that you know, normally in the morning I'm like, oh my god. Yeah, I'm missing this. I gotta I gotta zip around I gotta gotta make sure I'm on the bite and this morning. I'm like, well, you know, I fish till 12 30 at night I by the way ended up catching Six scrappy and I think four or five white bass. It's pretty fun. Just watching them on the live scope but Fished all day yesterday, so I'm good on the fish department. We're trying to try to survive here at this point So I'm getting hungry and eat some food I've got One more water. I believe to last me Five hours Tail hooked a channel cat. That's a new species folks Oh, buddy's trying to get me Kind of feels like a catfish And it's a drum. That's what it is. It's a it's a big old mega school of drums Weird we have made it 24 hours. Y'all we did it We did it and I think we caught every species in the lake Except maybe a yellow catfish, but I really do think we caught every fish species in the lake We loaded the boat ended with 53 power on the blue eddy Let me show you guys something that is really cool about this now now for me going to Remote areas I want to be able to do this where I can carry a solar panel with me to recharge this thing Keep it on the deck during the day the solar panel charge it up And then recharge the boat at night if I don't have Power if I don't have ac power, you know, don't need an extension cord or anything I'm just plugging in right here. Check this out So right now I am running both I'm running both of my chargers right now Now this has already gone down to 28 percent in about 20 minutes But I have 1200 watts coming out of it right now So that is my my lithium charger right there And then I've got my Minn Kota over there charging my two agms So this thing pulls The juice so I'm going to continue to use this on some other trips and see how far we can really get You know recharging it with solar how much I can get during the day How much is it really charge up the batteries? I'm assuming I'm probably going to get like Uh half a charge or three quarters of a charge with this, but I don't know we'll see And that is it for this adventure y'all. Thanks for hanging with me 24 hours with the silver bullet And also if you like this sort of thing if you like the challenges, let me know in the comments I would be willing to go to some other bodies of water and Do a do a Intimate overnight And also don't forget to go check out blue eddy in the description guys. They uh, I don't Promote any products that I don't use and actually believe in So this is one that I had tested they sent it to me and I was like wow this legitimately is the best one that I have Used so check them out. I think you guys would be happy that you get one And thank you for tuning in for another outdoor adventure. I will see you soon on another one
