 The Great Outdoors. The Wilderness. Some call it God's Front Yard. Others call it the United States of America. For me, I just call this place home. Welcome to our show. For today, we're going to be camping out in the wilderness of Southern California. Today, we're going to be camping in the wilderness of Southern California. Hi, my name is Ethan Nester and we're going to be camping in the wilderness of Southern California. Today we're in Southern California, camping out in the wilderness. Southern California has many wildernesses and today we're going to be camping in one. So today camping in this wilderness of Southern California is me, my dog, a tent, and some supplies. Can we escape at the beginning of the next day tomorrow in the wilderness of Southern California and survive the night in the wilderness of Southern California? We're going to find out. I didn't know this could happen like this. But first, it's time for me to make my shelter. So first things first, we need to make a tent. I bought a tent. So we're going to make the tent. The Southern California wilderness is known for its sloped things, sloped landscape. It's hard to find a flat place. But I think right over here, this will keep ground critters away from my tent entrance. The tent entrance is where we'll enter the tent. And if critters can't get in there, there's no way that they could stop me from surviving in the Southern wilderness of California. Now it's time. If you look closely, there's just shit all over the place. We got to be careful because that's a dangerous thing in the Southern California wilderness. Right Spencer? Step two of making the tent. To make the actual tent. When you're a season professional like myself, it's easy to get your tent up rolling and ready for the evening, the night. We've got about two to six hours left of daylight. So we need to make quick work of the tent making. If you're like me, you won't need the directions for your tent because you've made a tent so many times in the Southern wilderness of California that you won't even need this eight step process. Is it only eight steps? Step one is we've got to put all these sticks together. Now the sticks, much like in Minecraft, can help you make your little tent. Now they gave us a lot of allen wrenches for this so that we can go in and we can tighten everything like your like your dad might do if he's working on his car or maybe fixing your bike that got hit by your neighbor Tony's car because it didn't look both ways when he was crossing the road. But thankfully you got out of there safe because you threw your bike to the side because you knew that when you were crossing the road and he was going too fast, you're like Tony's not going to make this. I need to move myself out of the equation so he doesn't hit me. But then what happened was he hit your bike and it fucked the front wheel and it was a bummer because it was your 12th birthday and that was when he wanted to die here. We've got the first stick ready. Look it's forming into the tent shape into the shape of a tent. Dawson you've never seen someone camp like this before. You've never seen an expertise quite like this, right? That's sick dude. It's a tent and then we've got these little guys right here. These, we've got a little bit of this. Close like this. I almost just fucking impaled myself. Look at that. Now that is spectacular now. Tent time baby. Now as I said before Southern California wilderness, there's a lot of elements that are running around in the sky. All right. You can never really predict what said elements are going to do to you or your body. So you've got to protect yourself from the element by using a fun little part. Now this tarp that I got is bear repellent. They hate the color orange. Okay. They saw the show orange is the new black and they said, no, I don't want to go to jail. They're also misogynists. Every bear hates women. Now I don't agree with the bears. I just want to go out there and say that. Okay. I think that's wrong. I don't understand. Is it the wrong way? It's the wrong way, isn't it? The whole thing. That's supposed to go here. It must be. It has to be, doesn't it? You're right. I'm stupid. You're right. I'm just a fucking stupid guy. This makes much more sense Dawson. Much more sense. I don't know why you told me to do it the other way. That was really silly. It's a tent. Fuckers. Oh, hey, didn't hear you. I'm just better. I in here in my tent that I made myself as God intended. Now this sky is looking a little gray, which means it might be a little bit cold tonight, but that's not going to be an issue for me because I came prepared. Okay. I have blankets and a sleeping bag and food and water and half a dozen donuts. A dozen donuts, perhaps. Now, not only that, but I've got other things in store that I'm pretty excited about. Entertainment, games, and even a security system for later on in the night when we're not sure what's going to be bumping on the side of the tent. Stay tuned. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the REI hall. I'm going to show you everything that I got at my local REI. Come a little closer. Come a little closer. Come on closer. Come on in and get a little closer. Not that close. Thank you. First things first that we're going to take a look at is my lights that I got from REI. All right. They're lights that I got from REI. Now, let's take a... I didn't get a knife to open this. I know what I can use. I can use my spork. Now, you can often use your spork. It's a versatile tool. And I remember when you're in the wilderness, if you have trash, you can just throw it anywhere you want. Everything's biodegradable if you believe it to be biodegradable. This is a joke. Please litter. We're killing our planet and thus killing ourselves. Okay. Ooh, it's solar powered. So this, watch. Watch this. Put this guy right up here. This. Come down in here. And now we've got little lights that we can string up. I know this footage is really good, but just wait a second. It'll get better in time. Much like... Much like many things in life. Sometimes you just have to wait until it gets better. Is he up in the trees? This is going to be nice. It's going to be really nice. I swear. It's going to be really nice. We just got away. We just got away. You know, Lizzie would have loved this if she was alive. Maybe I'll watch Paddington2 in here tonight. If my Wi-Fi will reach. You just download it and then bring it over. All right, Jocelyn. Enough. Is that you eating your boogers? Eating my boogers? Your loogies. I don't eat my boogers. I'm very convinced. That does sound like a fucking 12 year old. Look at that. Look at that. Doesn't it look nice? Doesn't it look nice? Doesn't it look nice? Thank you. That's haul number one item. This is going to take forever. Next on our list, we've got a Multicombustibles Flame Regulable AVEC Precision Rashad. Very excited about this one, guys. This one is going to be good. This seems dangerous for me to use. We don't need the warning. It's fine. This connects to this which is this stuff. Put it in here and then it goes and it makes fire. It's a stove. I bought a stove, a portable stove, a camping stove. Are you going to use that in your tent or out here? In the tent and I'm going to close everything. The gas doesn't get out, Jocelyn. Look at this. It's a little pot. Isn't that lovely? Isn't that lovely? We'll make a little stew. Boil them, mash them, put them in a stew. That's what potatoes are. Potatoes. Next, we have a little something to eat dinner out of in it. It's got this nifty little thing so nothing gets out, nothing gets in. It's wonderful. That's like this. You've got yourself. We don't need this because we have the spork. But look, we can put our things in here and go lovely. Next, we've got a little toy for Spencer. Ready Spencer? Go get it. Yay Spencer. Oh, okay. What else do I have in here? A little treat for me. Wait. I can't show you dessert until I've shown you dinner. When you're out in the wild, sometimes you have to, you can't postmates or DoorDash or Grubhub. So I had to get real food, real adventure. Proudly made in Maine where I was born. This is Cuban rice ball, two servings per pouch. It's gluten free. It's a thousand calories in this pouch. 30 grams of protein. I should be eating this when I was training. What am I doing? So I, later when it's dinner time, I'm going to have to use my little stove. I'm going to have to make some water, boil it on my little stove to make myself some dinner because we out here in the wilderness and we've got to eat something, somewhere, somehow. And if times get tough and I am on my last legs for safety, I did buy this. If you know, you know. And then for dessert, I've got some dark chocolate cherries, which are looking pretty delicious right about my mouth. Can I eat this? Yeah. Yeah, I can. Oh, hey, kind of spicy. Spicy. That is just about everything. The only other thing we have is of course my sleeping quarters. We've got a nifty little sleeping bag, a roller out. We'll climb inside, you know, the huge, you know. Ooh, I'm feeling, I'm feeling toasty already because it's so nice and warm and you'll never believe this. Look at the little nice feature it has. I could be just a little guy if I want to, you know, and this is probably where I'll be most of the night just being a little guy. Now, you might be thinking to yourself, even what if Spencer wants to be a little guy? Well, don't worry. I didn't forget about Spencer being a little guy because I got Spencer a nice little thing right here. Oh, he's going to love it. I'm probably just going to line the whole thing with this fuzzy ass blanket. He loves fuzzy ass blankets. This is my new home. It's where I'm going to be staying for the night and others grizzlies and dire wolves and cheaters and criminals of all sorts of shapes and sizes out there in the night. I'm excited to see where we, where we go this evening. I'm, I've still got a couple, a couple of tricks up my sleeve. I think it's going to be good. No, I'm excited to test my knowledge of the, of the dirt. That's, that's wilderness for short for those of you that, that aren't familiar with it. I wouldn't expect you would be as familiar with it as I am. Yeah, I'm feeling good about it and it helped me. It's time for dinner. I'm not going to do this in the tent or in the grass because that's dangerous. I'm doing this on the porch. The tone of the video has shift did dramatically. We're being safe now. Okay. So we have here a little portable gas stove and we've got a little tiny thing of propane, extremely flammable, whatever. Contents may catch fire. Container may explode if heated. Cool. Inspect the canister for any damages. I don't see nothing, but listen to this. Kind of nice. I don't really know how to use this. Instruction manual one of two. Jesus. Okay. Oh God. Shake stove up and down. Shaker needle inside jet should rattle. It's rattling. Preheat and run stove is the next step. If performance does not improve, perform cleaning and what? Pump maintenance, valve o-ring. That's all maintenance stuff. Just tell me how to use the stove. Okay. Okay. Okay. Here we go. So we need to open this. I bought the wrong fuel. It has to use the designated fuel bottle that is sold separately from the stove. So with a little bit of help from movie magic, we are going to make this water boil. Idiot. It's boiling now. You see it smoking. Bam. Movie magic. Okay. Here we go. So we are making gummo tonight. All right. Smells nice. This is what it looks like. Can you see? Can you see how that off? Wow. Okay. Chair is proud to open. Remove the oxygen absorber. Wonderful. Add two and three quarter cups to the bag. Stir and reseal. Hang out for 15 minutes. Jesus. Open stir again. Smile. Okay. Cool. We have the boiling water. How do we put it in the bag? That's hot. We are going to stir and reseal. While my food does its thing, let's go get ready for the rest of the evening, which involves setting up my little security system. So come on. Follow me. Now every good home needs a good security system. I've got two trailcams here that are motion activated. I'm going to put one here. Should I put one in the back? Here. Is that good? A little further to here. Right more. Right here. All right. Perfect. Now I've got my security system all set up. So if any creatures, criminals come in the night, they will be spotted. So it's about that time to eat some dinner, get all cozy, grab the boy, get into the tent there and hunker down for the evening. In the insane Southern California wilderness where there's no civilization around, there's no electricity around, there's no nothing. Really, it's just me in the me in the woods. So I think I'm ready. I feel a little nervous. You know, it's dangerous out here, but it's going to be good. So let's go eat some dinner. Come on. Back at base camp and I'm ready to eat my meal. Turn off my timer. It's canceled. Just like me in the future. It smells pretty good. It looks all right. It's fine. It's fine. It looks all right to me. Let's have a little bit of a taste here. Chicken gumbo. How many calories is this? 660 calories. It looks like. God is good. Spencer's already going down in the tent. Did you hear that? Did you hear the wildlife? Did you hear the owl? All right. We are out here now. The bit is over. I mean, Spencer in the tent. He doesn't really know what's going on. But now we're here. I got his duck for him. He's got his sweater out to make sure that he's all warm in the night and we're here now. Now it's just kind of weird because I'm just here in my yard. It would be different if someone was here with me. Dude, I can't imagine solo backpacking. Just going to stand in the woods by herself. That's freaky. Good boy, Spencer. Good boy. It is 9.41 pm. So I'm kind of just going to be chilling in here for the rest of the night. But yeah, I think I'm going to wind down. I brought my iPad out here. So I think I'm just going to chill and watch a movie or something. If I shit, I didn't download anything. I think the Wi-Fi reaches out here. We'll find out. But we're just going to chill. Me and Spencer. I don't think he's super happy about it. He doesn't seem super happy about it. See you, bud. Whoa, infrared light. Kind of cool. He kind of crazy, huh, bubba? Yeah, you're sick of it. Well, me and Spencer just chilling in here. We heard a couple noises. A couple reps, galleons jumping around in the woods. It's a couple hours later. I don't really have much to talk about, if I'm honest. You know, we're just chilling in a tent. Everything led up to this point. Now we're in it. It's kind of hot in here. Bugs keep landing on the top of the tent. They keep trying to get in, but they say, no, no, you cannot get into the tent. This is what I say to the bugs. And they say, what'd that mouse do? And I go, it does this. And then they leave me alone after that. It's my nipple. So, Spencer, anything you want to say? Anything? He's a little upset. In here, I'll do a push pull. Wow, that was so good. Look at the inside of my nose. Any bats up in that cave? I'll be seeing you in the morning, I guess. I don't know. Call me later. Well, gamers, it's the next morning. It's about 9 a.m. and the Spencer and I, we did it. We survived the night. Let's see what the outdoors look like, huh? All right. Well, we've spent the night in the tent. Spencer, what did you think? What did you think, Spencer? Did you think it was kind of fun? Did you think it was kind of fun? Oh, that's a big stretch, mister. That's a big stretch. Oh, good and happy. That's a nice stretch. Oh, look at the morning dove. Oh, one's about to leave for a way for a way for it. Off. Off they go. So, morning doves made a nest in my porch. Last night was fun. It was fun here in all the critters in the night. I did manage to fall asleep. I woke up a bunch of times mostly because Spencer heard something anyway. Makes me kind of want to go camping for real. I would not go camping for real alone because I'm not an experienced camper and I think that that would be dumb. But I would go camping with other people and now I have a tent and some other stuff so maybe I'll do a real camping video. Not that this wasn't real because we all know how insane the outdoors of Southern California are and what a risk I put myself at out here. I guess that's about it. I mean, I'm sorry I didn't feel much in the tent during the night but nothing really happened. It was just me in the tent. It was the other stuff that was really the more interesting stuff. That's kind of it. I hope you enjoyed me tenting. It was fun for me. I hope it was fun for you. I guess now you can just watch me break down this tent.
