This is so inspiring. Chasing your dream is important and people don’t often feed the soul and just go do it. Thanks for sharing your decision and journey!!!!!
The night hikes make me nervous you'll get turned about and loose your way Sam. looks like you remembered everything for this trip. Yay! It will certainly be nice when you don't have to hurry back in the morning for work, now that you have put in your last day Sam. Good for you. We are cheering you on for sure brother.
Thanks for the upload Sam!!! Good Luck doing vlogs full time. I will be watching. Looks like you had a great time despite the rain. Have a great Sunday!
What a beautiful video! You captured the essence of camping in all its glory: the rain, the fire, the stars, and the peace. You made me want to pack my bags and go on an adventure right now!
Thank you Sam for a wonderful video. I am retired and disabled living. In Northern California. Your videos ring me relaxing peaceful time, so thank you so much. Keep up the good work. Thank you for all your hard work. Your videos are awesome you kick ass bro
I just had to rewatch one of your old videos, I really like it when you’re camping in the rain it shows what you will go through to have a good time. I look forward to watching more rainy day and rainy night videos.
Thanks for always taking care of our beautiful earth. It drives me crazy to see trash in nature. It's so easy to just take it out with you. I admire you for going for your dream. I'm sure you will be successful. Looking forwrd to your Pacific NW videos.
I absolutely love the camping in the rain videos and you Sir are a master at it. The meal looked awesome. I like the foil packs as they are pretty much a set it and forget it way to cook. Thanks again for sharing an adventure. Take care.
Wow. Well done buddy on chasing the dream. I had exactly the same conversation with myself 2 years ago. Not giving it a go would have been criminal. I have no regrets and neither will you. I wish you all the success in your new adventure 👍🏻
I just love that you're putting it all on the line to chase your dream, even if it doesn't work...but we're wishing you continued success! We love your content!
One thing I love about Sam he just goes camping and have fun mistakes and all. With regular camping gear non of this overpriced stuff you see on most channels. I know all of the sponsorships and pushing the high priced push is coming eventually but we love it here right now
That is awesome you are coming up to the PNW . I’m Washington born and raised and I will never leave this beautiful place. You are gonna love it . I can’t wait for the videos !
@@CampingwithSamBananas If you ever find yourself up near Mount Rainier national park area, there is a road called Skate Creek Rd near ashford . I have been camping there since I was a kid. There are tons of spots right off the Nisqually river. It’s not a campground it’s just spots that people of built and you’re allowed to camp there. Beautiful camp sites. Thanks Sam
Just watched this video, excellent I must say! Good for you going for your dream. I wish you much success. Love your rain camping videos. You are so relatable, one of my fav channels!
Congratulations on full time camping!!! Can’t wait to see what you have in store! You said in the video you enjoy the mornings. How about some breakfast cooking in future videos!
You got it! I've done breakfast before, but unfortunately I'm usually in such a hurry. It's definitely something that I will be working on for future videos for sure. Stay tuned!
Great video, Sam. I've made hobo meals like that with great success! Rather than butter, use Italian salad dressing. The oil seems to cook the contents of the packet quicker, without burns or sticking. Also, the flavor is amazing. Rock on, dude!
Don't be nervous Sam "Build it and they will come" just do it man, believe in yourself and the channel brother i got every faith in you! Hello Mrs Bananas!
That's a nice peaceful place to camp. I just got back from staying in a rustic cabin for 2 nights in a state forest. I ate some good food and drank some good coffee and relaxed. It rained but wasn't cold and my fire stayed lit. Keep the videos coming.
Fire starters aren’t cheating. When everything is wet, ya need all of the help you can get. Another great video. Thanks for taking us along. And I really have to know about the Garage Beer. LOL
You make me remember what it was like being a kid in the rain with my first rain suit. I was invinceable and roaming the woods of Nova Scotia. I still love the rain in the woods at 56.
That sounds like a great trip I have been out that way when I drove 18 wheeler I love to travel and see different parts of the USA and live foil meals easy clean up
I’m so excited and happy for you man..I wish you all the luck and success in the future and I will be watching..I have no doubt you will be extremely successful and you will make it..
Hey sam. Thanks for another great camp. Im so glad your going full time! your going to do great! As far as fishing just get 2 rods some worms and put one on the bottom and one with a bobber. let them sit. You dont have to be good at it! good luck! im excited to see future videos. being from pittsuburgh i think we get a lot of similar weather....one day your videos are going to get me out there in the rain!. Thanks again sam!
Something about being in the woods In the rain.. another classic Sam bananas video.. always entertaining, and appreciated.. hello Mrs. Bananas.. very best 🍻
Hi Sam another rainy one, beautiful scenery the fall colors are gorgeous, congratulations on full time tubing hope everything works out well, stay safe out there
Is that ever a neat tent; and dude what a super spot to spend some time - the rain, while not something I dig setting up in, was good to see the whole tent/tarp setup.. Love it!
Bank line was great choice. I’ve always heard 3 loops for prusic and Prusic needs to be smaller diameter than Ridgeline. Bank line prusic over amsteel is best and over paracord also works well. Love your vids and tarp set ups.
Hi Sam... 1st comment for me. Try Foggy Mountain Whiskey. It's made here in Michigan (Boyne City). They have a few flavors (I'm a fan of the salted caramel). It's great stuff. Great videos! I especially enjoyed watching your last canoe trip. A few of us hope to go to Tahquamenon Falls again in February this year for the lamp lit snowshoe walk and camping at the lower falls park. I have some pictures of last year's adventure if you're interested. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Got you back soon you know I know you like Steve camping with Steve and I always will be with you and I always liked your adventures keep on doing what you doing though you gave up your job it's fine as long as you're comfortable and I will still be watching peace out much love and peace be safe out there
Dinner looks great, we used to cook only potatoes only now changing plans. Oh when you were preparing the meal I say's to myself self you forgot the butter and then...
looking forward to the PNW videos. That's where I'm at and I love it, there's so much to see. I've been here for a bit over 2 years now and even in the areas I frequent I'm still finding new places to explore.
Looking forward to your visit to the PNW!! Here's a tip: Crater Lake National Park. Just look it up online. I live about an hour from here and go quite frequently. I have never run out of things to do here. You can also hike a bit of the PCT, as it goes right past the park. Love your attitude, love your videos!
Hi Colleen! I ended up spending all my time in Olympic National Forest. The National Parks are a lot more restrictive about filming. I did get into Olympic NP, Hoh Rainforet etc with Mrs Bananas after she joined me. Hope to be back soon!
Dude yeah I hear you! When I started I was more drawn to winter/snow camping. I still love that, but after really getting prepared for rain camping, it's actually a ton of fun. I love it! And no one else is out usually. You should try it.
I'm very interested in seeing the direction you take with the channel once you have the freedom to do whatever you want time-wise. No rushing back every morning to get ready for work. I do hope you don't get away from camps like this one (rain or not) because they are my favorite videos of yours to watch. I know you've done collaborations with Kevin, are you planning any with other RUclips campers now that you'll have more freedom? Good luck going forward!
Hi Rob! Trust me, I won't be moving away from camps like this. They are my favorite. But yes, I have some collaborations planned with a couple other YTers as well. Stay tuned brother!
Ad free videos and extras including vacation VLOGS w/Mrs Bananas at: www.patreon.com/sambananas
Hope all is well. Its been a few weeks.
I was wondering what kind of work did you do before you quit to do your Sambananas videos?
This is so inspiring. Chasing your dream is important and people don’t often feed the soul and just go do it. Thanks for sharing your decision and journey!!!!!
Thanks for watching!

It will certainly be nice when you don't have to hurry back in the morning for work, now that you have put in your last day Sam. Good for you. We are cheering you on for sure brother.
Thanks! Yes I'm very excited to be focused completely on YT moving forward.
Another Sam Bananas camping in the rain camping adventure. Great job!
You're the man Michael, thank you so much
How does that nursery rhyme go again? 🎶"Its raining, its pouring, Sam Bananas is camping"🎶 thanks again for another great video.
Haha something like that 😂
Thanks for the upload Sam!!! Good Luck doing vlogs full time. I will be watching. Looks like you had a great time despite the rain. Have a great Sunday!
Thank you! You too!
@@CampingwithSamBananas Thank You 😊
Camping in the rain, back to normal. Great vid, Sam!
Yes! Thank you!
So I asked ChatGPT for a definition of 'Rain Forest' and it responded with: "That depends where Sam Bananas is currently camping". 🤯
Lol ! True !
Hahaha yep 🤣
Nice
Not wrong
🤣🤣🤣
What a beautiful video! You captured the essence of camping in all its glory: the rain, the fire, the stars, and the peace. You made me want to pack my bags and go on an adventure right now!

Right on!
When cooking the foil packs shovel some coals on top of the pack and it will cook twice as fast and more evenly.
Ahhhhhh I'll try that!
That's totally awesome Sam, good luck with doing RUclips fulltime, I'm going to drink a beer for you tonight!
Right on!
Just not OK with not trying,I like that
❤️
Thank you Sam bananas for brightening my gloomy sunday!!!

I try to keep it real. I think people seem a more authentic experience.

Thanks Sam, great stuff, Bro. So excited for the future of this excellent channel.

Good video Sam, keep up the good work👍🏻

Hi Karen! Still adjusting a bit but I'm very excited to be on my journey.
Salt packet and Arby's sauce. You've good foraging skills.

Yes sir, nice to see ya Eddie!
Love your channel Sam. Especially the videos in the rain. You’re the man.
I appreciate that!
I think it’s great that you are going full time. When you come to the Pacific Northwest there will be a bunch to see. That’s where I live. Have fun!!!
Thank you so much! I'm very excited.
Good luck! We will be watching you! 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Bank line was great choice. I’ve always heard 3 loops for prusic and Prusic needs to be smaller diameter than Ridgeline. Bank line prusic over amsteel is best and over paracord also works well. Love your vids and tarp set ups.
I do believe you are correct sir!
Please do a video about Time Management!
You've definitely figured out how to Get It All Done, in the time allotted!
Very nicely done, Sir.
Haha still working on that element 🤣

Means a lot man, thank you 👊
That's cool you're coming to the PNW. I live in Oregon. We have so many cool areas here. From the coast range, beaches , to the high desert.
Yes sir, I'm super excited!
@CampingwithSamBananas if your coming to Oregon . I'd love to meet up and say hi if our schedules permit.
I just learned about this warming shelter. If you are in the area in the pnw.
Dinner looks great, we used to cook only potatoes only now changing plans. Oh when you were preparing the meal I say's to myself self you forgot the butter and then...
Haha yep! Butter makes everything better
Three days late finding you, not getting notification of you video, but I found you brother, another good one and good luck as a full time RUclipsr
Thanks Harold!
Cool setup Sam.. Great video as always.
Thanks for tuning in my friend!
Glad to have u here.im in oregon cascades area.just watch out for the hair ball,s while your camping.a.k.a.big foots.lol.
Will do brother!
I'm totally cool with fire starters, especially rain camping, do what you have to do to get out there and camp!
Right on 🍌
Great video Sam, I'm looking forward to more adventures.
Stay tuned!
looking forward to the PNW videos. That's where I'm at and I love it, there's so much to see. I've been here for a bit over 2 years now and even in the areas I frequent I'm still finding new places to explore.
Very cool! Yes I'm super excited for the trip. Stay tuned!
Looking forward to your visit to the PNW!! Here's a tip: Crater Lake National Park. Just look it up online. I live about an hour from here and go quite frequently. I have never run out of things to do here. You can also hike a bit of the PCT, as it goes right past the park. Love your attitude, love your videos!
Hi Colleen! I ended up spending all my time in Olympic National Forest. The National Parks are a lot more restrictive about filming. I did get into Olympic NP, Hoh Rainforet etc with Mrs Bananas after she joined me. Hope to be back soon!
You definitely got to see some beautiful country! There's plenty to do and see if you're ever this way again! Looking forward to seeing the video!
dude, you are the man. i am a wuss when it comes to rain. i'd rather camp in 0 degress than rain.
Dude yeah I hear you! When I started I was more drawn to winter/snow camping. I still love that, but after really getting prepared for rain camping, it's actually a ton of fun. I love it! And no one else is out usually. You should try it.

Hi Rob! Trust me, I won't be moving away from camps like this. They are my favorite. But yes, I have some collaborations planned with a couple other YTers as well. Stay tuned brother!
Praying for your success i love the fact you are going after your goals . YOLO
Thank you!!!
Love it Sam!
Nice to see ya Rick!
Haven't seen that Capming in the Rain dance in long time, bring it back . lol
Haha I tried on this one, but I was too tired. It will be back sooner than later I'm sure.
Looks like you're in Michigan again. I grew up there. It's a beautiful state.
It really is
Just happened to have a 1/2 gal of Kentucky moonshine beside me, so I had a toast with you!
Very nice!
Absolutely 💯 % Loved this video
Thank you 🙌
Since your going full time link up with crazy quady that would be epic
Haha I wouldn't mind that! Leave him a comment with your suggestion.
I just keep commenting throughout the video because I lov the way u cook I just sit h te with my mouth watering that is the lif
It was quite yummy!
You need to publish a storm camping survival guide for us fair weather camping people in case we get caught out!
Not a bad idea!
I love your rain videos!
Thanks!
I do love the part when you talk to us I usually fast forward to that lol ur personality is the trick
I appreciate that!
Nice touch with the Arby’s sauce.
Great video, beautiful spot.
Thanks Jennifer!
