 We're about to spend the next three days out here in the Bahamas remote camping on a secluded island. Hey Nikki and Sarah! You here? Where are you? In this video we are paddling out to a remote area on the ocean camping overnight for three days building a bushcraft fort and we find ourselves covered in sand fleas and lost at sea. We're a little lost! Did I mention we're in the Bermuda Triangle? This is Nikki Delenthal, an adventure enthusiast known for traveling in a Prius. Yep, you heard that right. A Prius. And now a campervan with her dogs. She's got some of the best energy around and when we called her one week ago to ask if she wanted to come camping the Bahamas without any hesitation she said yes. And she brought along her cousin Sarah. We're hitting our first current. Yes, we're sea kayaking. Through the current everyone. We are paddling the Exuma Keys located in the Bahamas. It consists of a chain of 365 islands called Keys. The Keys arc to the southeast for about 130 miles. You could explore a new one each day. The turquoise waters surrounding the islands are so stunning their colors are visible from outer space. Here nature outnumbers man. Coastlines remain flawless and the footprint free beaches are deserted. Van wives, back there. I'm so tired. Not only are we going against currents and rips in this ocean but we're also going against the wind. Sea kayaking is a whole new experience. Part of all this is navigating. Jasmine's actually currently walking us. That's the glory of the Bahamas people. But because the water is more shallow means the current is stronger. If you can hear between my legs it's wild. The current is super strong. It looks a lot stronger than it is and this is in not a strong area so you can imagine the swell. This isn't a strong area? No you can imagine the swell gets quite a bit more wicked when you're out near the open ocean because right now we're currently in between two land pieces. But yeah like Jasmine said this water coming through here quite shallow going in one direction makes it pretty tough. Yes we are kayaking in the Bermuda Triangle which is a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is infamous for being the site of numerous mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft. While many of these claims have been debunked or explained by natural phenomena the Bermuda Triangle has captured the imagination of many and the fascination has become associated with various myths and conspiracy theories. This is easily one of the most beautiful places I have ever kayaked hands down. Stunning. I've got my phone hiding under here because it's so damn hot out here. Walkie talkie for quick access and this is our waterproof map and you can see up here that's very much where we're heading tonight somewhere exactly like that somewhere in there on a little bay. You're gonna love it. We are starting our kayak launch from Georgetown and to give you perspective it took us a long time to get down here to the Bahamas and now the real adventure begins. We are headed out from Georgetown into the caves. They're actually pronounced keys down here in the Bahamas but it looks like it's K's. So I'm probably gonna say K's are keys but you know what I mean. They are a group and a chain of islands that are separated by sandbars and it is super super beautiful out here in this tropical paradise. We're already hiking girl over. As we get closer to camp and become surrounded in the natural beauty of the Bahamas it's confirmed that our mission to get here was worth it. We started with a 430 a.m. flight jumping to the next plane half asleep to the capital of Nassau where we then got on the smallest plane we've ever been to all the way to Georgetown. We jumped in Dallas's truck and off we went to launch. Don't get lost up there. Roger that. All right everyone we made it to that second channel. We're getting better. Look at that sandbar right here. We gotta go over it and all the way to that island. They're going through the sandbar. We're paddling. Let's see who wins. Got sweat dripping into my eyes. I can't even see. It's burning my eyeballs. I got a sweat band for around here you know. I'm in smart. Looks like we're in the lead. We're almost in line with them. It's a lake start and the long term. We honestly almost are. All the buoys. We're looking like we're at literally the same spot as them. We're just hilarious because we went all the way around. Let's see who gets there. Oh no. Oh no. Stop. Let's back it up. Oh Crystal back call their captain. They're definitely gonna be there before us. They had a head start. And they're just trucking. This is a close race everyone. They're currently swimming and pushing their kayak in deep water and we've caught right up to them. If not our tip of our kayak is just ahead. Who's gonna win? Go Crystal go. Crushing. Almost there everyone. We're almost there. I can almost touch it. Got a funny good spot and we don't want the tide to take us away. I'm nervous. I definitely am the bushes. Right there you know. Yeah I think up there. First off this is so beautiful. Second tide definitely comes up to here so we're gonna have to do something back here for camp. It's also a perfect spot because the sun is setting that way as you can see. So right here we will have the sunrise with us tomorrow morning everyone. It's gonna be spectacular. And before we know it it's looking like we have a winner. I think so. We don't want our method of transportation to go away on us. Yeah we gotta take it further. All right teamwork makes a dream work. What do you guys say we take a little salt water bath? A little salt water shower. Van life baby. Wow you're so good at that. It's my inner mermaid. I love the Bahamas. This water is essential. What a really bad shark. This is terrifying. That water is perfection and like every water sport now we're hungry. We're gonna have a snack and then set up the camp. That's so good. I needed this so bad. Here you go ladies. Thank you so much. All right I'm home. We're trying to decide which way we want our doors facing the water, the dunes. I just looked up from tent building my custom home and the sunset. I cannot believe that we're sleeping here tonight. This is gonna be an incredible few days. It's looking very homey I have to say. This house is pretty big. Must keep our front door shut because the no-seams are out in full blast right now. We're all itching. Itching McGee. Now that would have been a funny start to the day tomorrow. Some paddles left on the beach where the tide comes up. Welcome to camp. We're all set up and we're all the way back here and the ocean is all the way that way because the tide could sneakily come up and we're really crossing our fingers that it doesn't and that we're far enough back feeling pretty confident. We're first timers. Just kidding. Nikki's a professional. Second time baby. That's why she's range on Nikki. I don't know how many times I've camped on the beach. She's a real professional. Ranger Nikki. Ranger Nikki here ready to take you on an expedition around the Bahamas over and out. Let's go. Also we should just give a huge props and round of applause to Sarah because this is her very first time camping. She's doing it in the Bahamas. Round of applause. Ever. Literally. Our first meal at camp is being cooked. What? And we rolled up with a good old bag of beans in a ziplock bag because we learned that from outdoor boys and Uncle Ben's. We are getting eaten by, oh there you see one. You can hardly see them and that's why they call them no-see-ems. They're so small and they get you good. We don't have headlamps. Good thing for modern-day iPhones honey. Dinner's served. That's the star of the show, the bag of the beans. I love the smell of beans. Anyone else? I love it. My favorite smell. Cheers. Crystal you've already dug in. All of it's coming in. I should have forewarned you I was coming in. I actually took the biggest bite. I think I have a big mouth. We're gonna go check the tide. It's still pretty low. We did check the tide chart and I think it's just starting to come up now reaching the highest tide at 11 30 p.m. So fingers crossed we're good. What time is it? It's only 9 50. Oh our camp is where the second light is everyone. Everything is seriously soaking wet right now. Yeah it's such an interesting thing after it being so dry all day. The last thing I expected was for everything like my clothes are wet right now. Yeah. It feels weird that we're going about all wet right now. And if you're wondering why everything's so wet it's because the humidity is extremely high here in the Caribbean. Sometimes reaching 97% and this is year round. It is a totally different climate than we're used to. It's tropical. This is what you get. Good night y'all. Good night. Good night. Waking up this morning was an absolute dream. If someone told me I could travel the Bahamas this way I probably wouldn't believe them and I experienced it myself. This has been such a special experience. Unzipping the tent this morning to absolutely nothing but solitude and nature is a feeling I really can't describe. I feel like our souls needed this more than me whatever I've known and I'm so happy to be here with new friends. And the feeling I'm describing is camping. Being back in a tent and being a little bit outside of our comfort zone is like I've said in the past where I feel growth happens. I loved putting ourselves to this challenge of kayaking after not doing it for so many years. And really and truthfully Jazz and I used to camp a lot and we haven't camped in quite a while. So it kind of feels like we're going back to our roots before the cabin before the van and that makes me happy and it makes me so happy to see Jasmine enjoying it so much. I just have a lot of very happy feelings in my heart and my body this morning. I feel so alive and I think it has a lot to do with all of what I've just listed but also waking up opening my eyes to the bright beautiful sunshine waking me up. The sun is so important no matter where you are. Try and get outside for five minutes and look up at that sunshine even if it's cloudy it still works. Good morning. Hello. How was your sleep? Okay, I slept well. Jazzy? Yeah, I slept till like 9. 9 a.m. In a tent. She's a 9 a.m. or in a tent. Morning everyone. Looks like you and I are getting out of the tent at 9 a.m. That's cool. Before coffee we need to wash the dishes. Got some water to rinse the dishes because we were lazy chefs last night and you guessed it this morning a bag of oats. I think I won this battle. Sad day. You probably put it right back in the bowl. I'm trying. Rescued. Breakfast makes me happy. I love warm apples. It's the small things out here. I think coffee. Coffee is so good. Oh my gosh, that's delicious. If you don't know what this is you can probably guess that after coffee you've got to run to the bathroom. These bags are for just that and we brought them along with us because it is not good to use the ground as a place to dig a hole to go to the bathroom on an island in the Bahamas. We need to keep this area protected and clean and a lot of these private islands are actually owned by other people who are allowing us to use them. Also a lot of the Caribbean is really quite small and these islands are so pristine. The sand and the water everything about it is so clean and beautiful and we really want to keep it that way. So you got to carry out what you drop if you catch my drift. Mostly because it just won't break down the same as it does in some places. Bye. You got to do what you got to do do. Wink wink. We're going to share everything with you including pooping in a bag and although it's not for everyone I got to say it's a lot easier than you'd think. I'm gathering some firewood for later tonight as we gotten a little late last night to do this but before I'm bringing the sticks over I'm checking it for scorpions. We learned that the scorpions out here aren't life-threatening but if they do bite you it is really going to hurt. I'm constantly looking through all of this wood to make sure they aren't in here especially with the bark connected to it. I think I found the jackpot. Whoa. Yeah. Watch out for the birds everyone. Because the days are so hot here at night time it completely cools down and gets damp and you honestly feel chilly so having a fire to keep warm and to keep things dry I think is going to help a lot tonight and this is life on a deserted island. There's more here. I'm on the hunt for some taller logs and not for a fire. Try to make myself a cabana and this building. Time to hunt. I felt like I walked in circles well because I did in the midday heat determined to build us a bushcraft shade shelter. I didn't find much in the way of logs or building materials lots of sand rocks and more sand and sun of course but looks like I found the jackpot. Oh this might work that could work that could work and that could work. Hopefully this works. I just need to find. You didn't think just because we were down in the Bahamas that we'd stop building did you? How's it going? That is some good shade. I'm pretty impressed I built this with the limited resources on this island. She's got about a five by six foot square of shade here and it's right close to camp. I have to say I'm also impressed. You want to come in? Oh yeah we will be joining. Look at this masterpiece jazz. Watch out there. Wow I am impressed. The shade is so nice. It's like 20 degrees cooler. Wow. I'm so impressed. You guys are incredible builders. Look at that jazz. My first bushcraft. Really? Yeah I think so. We've got a sweet shade set up and we've been staying hydrated now it's time to dive into that water and cool the heck off. Come to my palace. This is my absolute favorite time of day when camping. This is the perfect most special time as the sun goes down. Thank you for spending another day in the Bahamas with us. Now come join us around the bar. Move one the wind is going to keep away the bugs tonight. Two they're going to go directly to that fire because they think it's a flashlight. Woohoo. All right Pac if you haven't already subscribed to Nikki's channel the first time we told you to head on over to her channel right now thanks to the both of you. Also if Sarah had a channel I would tell you to go over there. It is kind of her channel she edits. Damn team teammates right there head on over and subscribe and thank you both for coming on such a last-minute adventure. Yeah that's our style we love it. And go to the Bahamas and camp because it's a dream you don't need to stay into some luxurious resort you can just stay in your own palace or just get attention. We woke up to the sun packed up our kayaks. Goodbye deserted island. Did a team hydration. There is the opening. The thing about being lost on a kayak or any thing that doesn't have a motor is it takes you an hour to check out one channel and then an hour to go back and then an hour to check out the next channel. Asasaga provincial park in Ontario. So we camped over here we were going out here which is the open ocean and we need to go to this red dot. Because this area looks so different and high tide actually I like a completely different place so you have to really have an idea of which direction you're going. Compass maybe handy. Good thing we have iPhones these days because we're on our way home now. One two three. Do it again. One two three.
