Awsome video. Finally someone who shares the storm while in the tent. Most turn off the camera once they get in they're tent. I think they miss sharing the best part of the camping experience. Good job.
Can tell you have no experience camping, or reality....lol.. How is this a review of the tent? lol.....you sat in your truck, eating, then "Got in the tent" as you said, "was only drizzling?" Then we get a bunch of different shots of a tarp, the rain, etc..Then you waking up, lol. You didn't stay in that tent, during that storm, and anyone here who believes you did, have zero experience in camping...let alone surviving in the bush, lol.........WOW
I was bored here in central England watching the rain hammering down outside my house, so I decided to catch a few videos here on RUclips, and I stumbled upon this one more by accident than design. 45 minutes later and you have yourself a new subscriber! If it hadn’t rained here today, I most probably wouldn’t have discovered your channel, which just goes to prove that the rain can have positive benefits too!
Natural, humourous, fun! I love it! As much as I love these video's, most other RUclipsrs show too much detail on cooking rather then the WHOLE experience (including the rain) Thank you for showing us the REAL experience!!
@@davideldred.campingwilder6481 Technically that's not a fact as little girls wouldn't be camping in a forest by themselves. I think you're a little disappointed, probably Jealous too. Maybe you created a RUclips account as I see, it says 'Camping Wilder' suggesting you're into camping but unfortunately your ambitions aren't reachable. Not getting subscribers/viewers...? Or just given up because you don't have the courage to do what these people do in their videos. I bet you'd love to be doing what they do, with the same viewers and positive attention. I couldn't care less if (in your opinion) he acts like a "little girl". He has a sense of humour, he's having fun and he's living his life, not only that but he's giving us an experience of what some people aren't able to do for their own reasons. I love camping and I love people that can enjoy their lives instead of bringing down others, sounds a bit bitter to me. Probably Jealously....I still stick to my original opinion and it's good to see a RUclipsr who knows have to have a laugh rather than focus all the camping experience on food (which most of us know how to make). Maybe you should go do something you enjoy instead of hating on others ☺️😁😁😁
@@davideldred.campingwilder6481 If that's what you truly believe then why would you feel the need to contradict yourself by telling me my comment is 'RUBBISH' and what YOU say about them (being a little girl) was mentioned to begin with...not only that but was made into a FACT (as you said). You're correct on that, it's an opinion (which we are all welcome to have) but my opinion is an opinion, just as yours is. Not a fact! 😉 End off.....? Not sure that's correct either...it's my comment, so surely I can decide when it's ended 😂😁
Sorry I've been gone for so long! If you didn't see the last video, my transmission went out while filming a stealth camp. It was an old Honda Accord, so I ended up financing a Subaru Outback. So far I love it. Thanks for watching!
Where I camp, the park has 2.7 million visitors a year, if each person pulled of one branch, how long before there were no more branches. I raised my family going to that park and they are now raising theirs, I buy firewood from the local people. You are allowed to harvest downed branches if you obtain a backcountry permit and follow the rules.
Just came across your channel by chance. So far so good. I love rain, sound of rain is very soothing to me. If you can posted camping in the rain for hours, that would be nice. I like the feeling of being safe, secure, and cozy while mother nature pours down the wraith on to us. See your clip, I am imagine like I just said. Missed the old day when I was heathy and doing all those things. Now, I'm simi handicap, not capable of doing what you are doing on the clip(I have to stay near my medications, and medical equiptment at all time). So just watching you and reminisce the old days, not bad either(everyone will come to this point one day). As for product review thing. I don't have much opion about it, so so to me, do not dislike it, have it or not doesn't matter to me. But if you decided to do product review, please stated the product name, model, price, and where you got it. In case I got interested in the product(rare, but sometimes I do interested in some product being reviewed). Oh by the way, I noticed a cane toad on the clip, so I'm assuming that you are filming from Australia(messed up by introduced the cane toad to get rid of some insects if my memory serves me right).
Great camping story! You waited it out. We went camping. Very nice. We had a bottle of wine and some steaks. Then it stormed and hailed, and moved on. Unfortunately, another worse storm came. There was 6 inches of cold water flowing RAPIDLY THROUGH the tent! Gaaaah!!! EVERYTHING WAs WET!! AND COLD! At that point, we decided we needed to go back to the drawing boards with this camping idea. All of the wet gear went into the car trunk. We found a nice hotel not too far away, hot showers, warm room. Everything was nice, warm, and dry.
When my grandson turned 13 l bought him a little tent. On our first night camping we had a huge storm and in the morning he said he loved it! He enjoyed being snuggled in his comfy camp bed and when he opened the tent flap there was a koala directly overhead. All positive , so he is a camping convert. He also impressed his mates on a school camp, being the only kid who knew how to erect and dismantle a tent. Such a morale booster
I love these videos where u talk to us it makes me feel like I’m out there with you instead of watching a silent camp video like I’m some creeper lol enjoyed this thanks
first off i use a large silver waterproof tarp, my tent is 9x13 , tarp is 12x20 silver tarp. i learned to use only the silver brand tarps, , they are heavy weight , but you will stay dry,. a word of caution, most tent are in different sizes and shapes, but i have done some studies on tents and found out that the only tent to buy is a double sewn bottom with a a basement bottom. the tents you will notice are a dark color or black bottom, comparted to the color of the tent. i bought a reylon tent, 8 person for the 4 of us and used it 4 times without it ever leaking, with or without the silver tarp.
Also, if you can remember, try a Juicy Lucy in a pretzel bun, it's awesome. Of course everyone's tastes are different, but if you like pretzels and burgers, you probably will love this combo. A very mild and soft pretzel bun, with a juicy burger...Yummm....
Dude that sounds killer. I've got two videos filmed already. Just got back from doing camps with Kevin. But I'm going to have to try that before the summer is over. Or maybe early fall, we'll see.
You deserve more subscribers. The rain content you make is just too good. I watched your rain videos at night and it’s very nice and relaxing. Love your vids. Can’t wait for other videos. Thank you so much for the great content. 😊
love your vibe dude this is some serious camping love the sounds using them to help me sleep its super hard to find videos with a storm of this level on youtube you talking through it makes it so much more relaxing appreciate the hard work man
First time view of your channel. Have to admit I had to shake my head with all your oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. I was glad to see that you survived. For me it's the rain the thunder the wind that's the experience of camping. Beautiful area. I know I'll probably get back lash. Not trying to be a party pooper I'm just more of a thrill seeker, and I love that kind of stuff. Back in the beginning of 2023 we had a hurricane here in Florida and me and my friend were out in the gazebo as a hurricane was passing through and it was just pouring down rain from the top being ripped apart. we just sat in the gazebo still and we just laugh while having a good time drinking margaritas. So watching your video brought back some good memories. Thank you. I just love bad weather and being out in it camping. I love the downpours I love the strong wind. even in this last hurricane in October we were hit by 75 mph winds with wind gusts of 95 +and I was out in it. here in Florida. Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing what your next great adventure might be😮
You made me feel like going camping again! Some years ago I used to go camping with a bunch of girlfriends, (wild women of the woods we called ourselves, no husbands or boyfriends), It was fantastic. Every Memorial Day weekend that was our thing for quite a few years. I will be 80 years old in 5 years so I have put this idea on my bucket list. Thanks buddy for inspiring me.
I'm 62 and my good friend is 67.......we each have our own cube tent we share a screen room as our kitchens ......we LOVE it.......do it if you can ....find some friends 😁 to go too 💚💚
I truly had such a great time watching your video and felt like I was there to. Before you got into your vehicle I was more worried about that second berger,it looked so good. Thanks man for the trip on camping with you..I've done many trips just like that 👌 thanks for bringing back the memories.
new subscriber here! the youtube powers know I love thunderstorms, and camping videos. The two combined into this. LOVED the atmosphere. you made the right call for sitting in your grounded vehicle and not on that wood/metal table during the lightening. YIKERS
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate that. It easy to edit that stuff and make it look like I stayed out the time but I like to keep it real and show it how it actually happens. Thank you so much for subscribing, cheers 🍻 🍌
Great video. Love how you didn't sugar coat anything. As I watched the video, I sure felt for you, man, with all that rain coming down outside and the constant trickle down your chimney stove pipe. You went out of your way to share the entire experience with us. Much appreciated and caused me to just now subscribe.
Glad to see you back at man! Taking on a car payment when there wasn't one before can be tough...been there. BTW, sheltering in the ride is not cowardly, it's smart. Thanks for another cool video!
Quit exclaiming and finish your second hamburger before it turns to mush in the rain, Guy! LOL! What did you expect? Rain is WET! ;D Loved the video and I love that tent. I haven't seen any of your videos before and really enjoyed this one. Happy camping.
Definitely add the gear reviews! But there's a catch: review the stuff us poor folks can afford. I would love to see a review of a harbor freight tarp, or a Coleman stove, or any other camping item that you are happy with. In all of your adventures I like knowing what works and what doesn't. Also your video gear. Like that tripod.
Camping is a relaxing comforting thing to do. To light a fire, be warm, have a nice meal, enjoy nature, sleep in the woods. Its all about being close to nature.
I like that you said you're camping with the car parked about 2 minutes away, and then a little bit on in the video you say it's 30 ft. That's the best slow walk ever!
Yeah I probably should have explained that a bit better. According to the rules of the campground, I was supposed to park in a separate parking lot after unloading my gear, but I ended up leaving my car right next to the camp. Ranger rolled by and didn’t seemed to mind so I said screw it.
The best part of camping is if a storm or two or even three roll through! As long as you're prepared then next to your soulmate it's the most romantically exciting of feeling ALIVE experience you'll enjoy!!! ❤️ Love me some Weather 🙂👍
Eating a delicious campfire cooked burger, looking around nervously at the weather absolutely fucking it down onto a tarp keeping you actually pretty dry while also sat on a picnic bench is the single most niche life goal I could possibly define. The banana flask too. Incredible. I hope even when you wake on your worst days, you acknowledge with satisfaction and joy the comfort and peace this brings you but also what it may bring others. Its so weird and leftfield maybe to appreciate it this much, I cant explain it but its good vibes on par with the sun.
That was another fun one, Sam🍻 As for gear reviews-incorporating gear reviews, within a camping video, is maybe a better option than just a gear video. I’d like to know about gear you never leave home without, gear you like to have but don’t use often, and your gear regrets. If you took a shot from the banana flask every time I typed ‘gear’ in this comment, you’d have a pretty good buzz right now🍌👍🏻
Haha thanks John! So the truth is it’s really hard for me to get any more than two videos per month out. If I can still do that but also throw in one gear review, I think that’s a doable workload. That’s what I was kind of thinking.
When I cant sleep I always run back to this video it’s so soothing and relaxing I always end up having the best sleep now that’s how u camp in the rain 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 keep up the good work I love your videos
This is what we like to watch videos 1st class . I hope you and Mrs Banana are enjoying yourselves and I hope to see more of your videos and I hope that Kevin is okay but I watch both your videos and I love both of them. I’m having a great time watching you and Kevin keep up the good work john Sheffield England
I like the car camping video. That’s about all I get to do. I have a suggestion for some gear reviews… cots/ sleeping systems for those of us bigger guys. I’m 6’3” and 300 lbs. There is not a lot of sleeping gear designed for us. Love the videos. Keep it up!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks. I personally don’t like product testing on videos, because they can sometimes start to feel like really long commercials, but I’m not making my living by just watching. Thanks again.
Rain is the best while camping, Dad and I stayed in Indy like three weeks and it didn't stop, we built a fort that no rain could get to us. he even had a place dug out to keep the rain from coming into to floor of the tent... He taught me survival skills,him being Native, that was my best memory.
i love setting up in solid rainstorms, eating W E L L....and hunkering down and eating well and appreciating primitive life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rain on bros and sis's!!!!
Excellent video fun all the way we love the old banana flask have been looking for something like it here in Sydney Australia great video and we love your laid back attitude thank you.
That was one heck of a storm. I am glad you did not get hail. I enjoy gear review videos. Watching them has helped me immensely in obtaining quality gear. Sam. You and Kevin are going to be top creators soon. You two are definitely my favorites out of all others.
Im a single solo camper. I've Been all over in Wisconsin, didn't think anyone would Get into it since I'm a single female who loves camping by myself.. I'm going to start viodeoing soon as soon as my Rode microphone gets here.. Sam Bananas is awesome, will have to meet up someday and camp together and hit some amazing hiking trails... I'm from wisconsin... emjoy
Watching again getting motivated for my camping trip tomorrow night. It will be a car camping trip near a bayou that goes through a sugar cane field. I plan to do a little catch and cook. But I have back up supplies. I do like car camping as you can bring the kitchen sink if you like. I also like not having to park the car where is may be robbed or vandalized. That activity is pretty bad here. I’m thinking that when I do back pack stuff I will be dropped off. We shall see.
It was so good that I had to watch it again. I love your videos and I enjoy watching your videos especially when it’s raining. Great stuff my friend John from Sheffield in England Great Britain
Sam, good to have you back. I go car camping, or park and walk to a spot a few miles on. Most campground, if you ask, have remote sites, some will tell you "i have fifty acres, camp where you want". Wood is expensive, as a carpenter i have no shortage of kindling, or larger dimension lumber. I collect empty cardboard boxes from any establishment, then cut the wood to size, stacked neatly with newspaper stuffed between, be surprised how much wood fits in a box. As well collecting radom logs through the year, cut and stack for future use. I bring a 18volt makita saw & pull saw with me, four charged batteries, good for four days cutting small logs i drag out of the woods, or rivers. Chopping gets old. Have a good one Sam.
I wud love to hear gear reviews on ur bigger stuff and how they work and I guess little stuff too if they really do good things. Go gear reviews!!!! I'm in.
Nice video of the storm, this looks like Nebraska storms, would've like to see how inside the tent looked. You didn't toast the buns or add lettuce and onions. Most bbq burgers don't have them, though a supreme bbq does oftenhabe two patties. Served with Bush beans and more bacon. I would've thrown everything in the cooler, went inside the tent and then collected rain water in buckets.
Yeah I could have had some more fixins for sure. To be honest I took pork chops to work and was planning to cook those at camp, but I forgot them in the work fridge. Had to run to the grocery store and just wanted to get something quick and easy. Still good though! I do have footage inside of the tent at parts there.
Sure doing a gear review is a good thing. People like to see what is being used and what is actually worth buying for themselves. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures 😀 and Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into these videos. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗
I do like your gear reviews. You do bring a lot of enjoyment to your adventures. PLEASE... Do keep up the good work. You actually show mishaps and things(products) that are helpful and bring a lot of laughing on my part to my day. Thank you Sam .
I really appreciate comments like this. I try to leave mistakes and stuff in so people see how it really happens. I didn’t have to include getting in the car but I wanted to be honest. Glad you liked it my friend. Got a lot more coming!
Whoa.....that's a storm. But you were killin me. Welcome to the party pal! Camp ground camping. Winner Winner. Positive part....No bugs. Best line of the whole video was "I need a rain suit, this poncho is nut cuttin it!" I was rollin.
I really love Steve's videos I've been watching him since 2019 but I started yiu I think the end of last year maybe the beginning of this year you both are great
I love watching this video so much, it’s so relaxing before bed helping me sleep thank you so much it’s been hard to sleep thank you so so much ☺️
Taky se na tohle video dívám pořád, protože ten déšť je famózní.
Awsome video. Finally someone who shares the storm while in the tent. Most turn off the camera once they get in they're tent. I think they miss sharing the best part of the camping experience. Good job.
I agree!! Thanks for watching Bill, much appreciated

You made us experience as if we were camping with you. The sounds of rain and thunder was amazing experience to me.
I really appreciate that. That's what I was hoping for. Glad you liked it my friend.

@@davideldred.campingwilder6481 😂😂😂😂
Man this is the kind of video I’m always searching for on RUclips. You know, a camp in some REAL rain! Love the videos bro. Keep ‘em coming!
Beautiful thank you my guy!
o sick of the black screen pretend storm asmer videos. This is one of the most legit camping in a storm
Me too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ima Have To Agree With Yall 😊👌 I'm Tired Of People Putting Hurricanes In The Thumbnail And When Yo Play The Video Is Pouring The Whole Time 😂
Natural, humourous, fun!
I love it!
As much as I love these video's, most other RUclipsrs show too much detail on cooking rather then the WHOLE experience (including the rain)
Thank you for showing us the REAL experience!!
Thank you! That's what I was going for.
RUBBISH! He's a little GIRL in this video. In fact, little girls are more brave. FACT!!!
@@davideldred.campingwilder6481 Technically that's not a fact as little girls wouldn't be camping in a forest by themselves. I think you're a little disappointed, probably Jealous too. Maybe you created a RUclips account as I see, it says 'Camping Wilder' suggesting you're into camping but unfortunately your ambitions aren't reachable. Not getting subscribers/viewers...? Or just given up because you don't have the courage to do what these people do in their videos. I bet you'd love to be doing what they do, with the same viewers and positive attention. I couldn't care less if (in your opinion) he acts like a "little girl". He has a sense of humour, he's having fun and he's living his life, not only that but he's giving us an experience of what some people aren't able to do for their own reasons. I love camping and I love people that can enjoy their lives instead of bringing down others, sounds a bit bitter to me. Probably Jealously....I still stick to my original opinion and it's good to see a RUclipsr who knows have to have a laugh rather than focus all the camping experience on food (which most of us know how to make). Maybe you should go do something you enjoy instead of hating on others ☺️😁😁😁
@@craigday66608 you have your right to your opinion, as do I. End off...
@@davideldred.campingwilder6481 If that's what you truly believe then why would you feel the need to contradict yourself by telling me my comment is 'RUBBISH' and what YOU say about them (being a little girl) was mentioned to begin with...not only that but was made into a FACT (as you said). You're correct on that, it's an opinion (which we are all welcome to have) but my opinion is an opinion, just as yours is.
Not a fact! 😉
End off.....? Not sure that's correct either...it's my comment, so surely I can decide when it's ended 😂😁

Thanks!
A bad raining nite of camping is still better than a good day at work .
True that my friend!!
100 percent!!!
This episode brought me back to camping as a kid and always getting rained out. Your channel is so fun. Keep it up.

Dude that’s so nice of you! Glad you liked it and it conjured some nice memories for you
Don’t worry Sam, you patrons and subscribers have your back, you just keep getting that great content.👍🏿
My man! Thanks so much bud! Couldn’t do it without ya!
new subscriber here! the youtube powers know I love thunderstorms, and camping videos. The two combined into this. LOVED the atmosphere. you made the right call for sitting in your grounded vehicle and not on that wood/metal table during the lightening. YIKERS
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate that. It easy to edit that stuff and make it look like I stayed out the time but I like to keep it real and show it how it actually happens. Thank you so much for subscribing, cheers 🍻 🍌
Great video. Love how you didn't sugar coat anything. As I watched the video, I sure felt for you, man, with all that rain coming down outside and the constant trickle down your chimney stove pipe. You went out of your way to share the entire experience with us. Much appreciated and caused me to just now subscribe.
Mike that comment really means a lot and I appreciate it bud. Thank you for the sun, I've got lots more videos coming.
It's helpful to see new gear being tried out. Thank you for taking us with you on these rainy outings.👍
Thanks for coming along!
Glad to see you back at man! Taking on a car payment when there wasn't one before can be tough...been there. BTW, sheltering in the ride is not cowardly, it's smart. Thanks for another cool video!
Dude thank you very for the kind words. Definitely appreciated.
All time favorite camping video. Mr B so funny, real and endearing. Thank you!
Aww man thank you!
Nice calming and relaxing rain sounds. Helps you to de-stress and calms your mind.
haha I absolutely love when it rains when we camp... minus the middle of the night wake up scrambling to get out of your tent to pee lol
cool rainstorm. I always like watching you freaking out in the rain. you really get excited.
Haha yeah I love it. Fingers crossed I'm shooting another thunderstorm in this location this week.
Quit exclaiming and finish your second hamburger before it turns to mush in the rain, Guy! LOL! What did you expect? Rain is WET! ;D Loved the video and I love that tent. I haven't seen any of your videos before and really enjoyed this one. Happy camping.
Haha dude glad you liked it. This one really me riled up for some reason LMAO!
Definitely add the gear reviews! But there's a catch: review the stuff us poor folks can afford. I would love to see a review of a harbor freight tarp, or a Coleman stove, or any other camping item that you are happy with. In all of your adventures I like knowing what works and what doesn't. Also your video gear. Like that tripod.
Great idea, thanks Colleen!
Haha the intro is crazy 🌧 Makes me hope for rain this weekend! Thanks man, these videos inspire me on my own adventures 🌲
Haha awesome dude! Glad to hear it, have fun out there!
The videos in the rain are my favorite thank you !
You got it and thank you for watching!
This is one of the videos I like to come watch multiple times.
It's one of my best for sure
First time in your channel came for the rain, I just love rain videos
This is so relexing i love thunder storm natures, i wish if i was there
Glad you liked it!
Hi there@@CampingwithSamBananas
That meat was raw as hell
Camping is a relaxing comforting thing to do. To light a fire, be warm, have a nice meal, enjoy nature, sleep in the woods. Its all about being close to nature.
👍
loved this video. thank you for going out in the elements to capture it all brother.
Thanks man! Really my pleasure honestly. It was a blast!
I like that you said you're camping with the car parked about 2 minutes away, and then a little bit on in the video you say it's 30 ft. That's the best slow walk ever!
Yeah I probably should have explained that a bit better. According to the rules of the campground, I was supposed to park in a separate parking lot after unloading my gear, but I ended up leaving my car right next to the camp. Ranger rolled by and didn’t seemed to mind so I said screw it.
The best part of camping is if a storm or two or even three roll through! As long as you're prepared then next to your soulmate it's the most romantically exciting of feeling ALIVE experience you'll enjoy!!! ❤️ Love me some Weather 🙂👍
Absolutely! My wife not super big on tent camping but I know what you mean. Cheers 🍺🍌
Now that was a great storm and video. I really enjoyed this, thanks :)
Very much appreciated thank you!
Very cool stuff Sam. I really enjoyed it!
Awesome dude, thank you!!!
First vid that I ever watched from your channel. Raw footage while camping in a thunderstorm, booze, n burgers over fire got me to sub...thank you
Dude thank you!! It’s very much appreciated my friend.
Eating a delicious campfire cooked burger, looking around nervously at the weather absolutely fucking it down onto a tarp keeping you actually pretty dry while also sat on a picnic bench is the single most niche life goal I could possibly define. The banana flask too. Incredible. I hope even when you wake on your worst days, you acknowledge with satisfaction and joy the comfort and peace this brings you but also what it may bring others. Its so weird and leftfield maybe to appreciate it this much, I cant explain it but its good vibes on par with the sun.
Haha dude that’s a lot of praise! Thanks man, I’m really glad you’re getting something out of the videos. Cheers 🍺🍌
That was another fun one, Sam🍻 As for gear reviews-incorporating gear reviews, within a camping video, is maybe a better option than just a gear video. I’d like to know about gear you never leave home without, gear you like to have but don’t use often, and your gear regrets. If you took a shot from the banana flask every time I typed ‘gear’ in this comment, you’d have a pretty good buzz right now🍌👍🏻
Haha thanks John! So the truth is it’s really hard for me to get any more than two videos per month out. If I can still do that but also throw in one gear review, I think that’s a doable workload. That’s what I was kind of thinking.
When I cant sleep I always run back to this video it’s so soothing and relaxing I always end up having the best sleep now that’s how u camp in the rain 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 keep up the good work I love your videos
Thank you!!! Glad to help 🫡
This is what we like to watch videos 1st class . I hope you and Mrs Banana are enjoying yourselves and I hope to see more of your videos and I hope that Kevin is okay but I watch both your videos and I love both of them. I’m having a great time watching you and Kevin keep up the good work john Sheffield England
John I'm so glad you found my channel and I hope you stick around. Got a lot more coming my friend.
this is how camping should be, this guy is great!
🙏
I like the car camping video. That’s about all I get to do. I have a suggestion for some gear reviews… cots/ sleeping systems for those of us bigger guys. I’m 6’3” and 300 lbs. There is not a lot of sleeping gear designed for us. Love the videos. Keep it up!
Dude that's actually a great. I have some friends your size and they never want to go because of the reasons you just listed. I'll look into that.
It’s nice to be stuck In the rain and not getting to wet
It is!
Omg that was awesome 👌 I wanted to be there so bad just to wrap myself in a blanket and enjoy the rain. Great video
Glad you liked it!
I love watching rain storms with lightning, I usually play , Thunder and Lightning by Queen, it’s great, makes my day 🤣👍🌸
Nice 👍
I would love to camp in the rain again, it’s so soothing, haven’t done it since I was a kid. Good video!
I appreciate that Linda. Camping the rain really is my favorite. It's awesome!!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks. I personally don’t like product testing on videos, because they can sometimes start to feel like really long commercials, but I’m not making my living by just watching. Thanks again.
Glad you liked the video and your input is appreciated my friend!
Rain is the best while camping, Dad and I stayed in Indy like three weeks and it didn't stop, we built a fort that no rain could get to us. he even had a place dug out to keep the rain from coming into to floor of the tent... He taught me survival skills,him being Native, that was my best memory.
Sounds like you had a great dad ❤
@@CampingwithSamBananas He taught me how to survive. But we will leave it at that.
That is such a nice looking campground! I love your setup as well!!
Thanks for sharing 🙌
Thanks for watching!
i love setting up in solid rainstorms, eating W E L L....and hunkering down and eating well and appreciating primitive life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rain on bros and sis's!!!!
🤘🍌🤘
Burger was raw as hell
Awesome video, man!! Very relaxing too!!
Thank you!
Excellent video fun all the way we love the old banana flask have been looking for something like it here in Sydney Australia great video and we love your laid back attitude thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Some good gear reviews are always welcome Sam. Especially if there's something unique and something you like about it.
Thanks man!
That was one heck of a storm. I am glad you did not get hail. I enjoy gear review videos. Watching them has helped me immensely in obtaining quality gear. Sam. You and Kevin are going to be top creators soon. You two are definitely my favorites out of all others.
Very kind words and much appreciated my friend. Looking forward to that first video when you’re ready brother.
Im a single solo camper. I've Been all over in Wisconsin, didn't think anyone would
Get into it since I'm a single female who loves camping by myself.. I'm going to start viodeoing soon as soon as my Rode microphone gets here.. Sam Bananas is awesome, will have to meet up someday and camp together and hit some amazing hiking trails... I'm from wisconsin... emjoy
Watching again getting motivated for my camping trip tomorrow night. It will be a car camping trip near a bayou that goes through a sugar cane field. I plan to do a little catch and cook. But I have back up supplies. I do like car camping as you can bring the kitchen sink if you like. I also like not having to park the car where is may be robbed or vandalized. That activity is pretty bad here. I’m thinking that when I do back pack stuff I will be dropped off. We shall see.
Not to mention a big beautiful wedding! Happy Everything Mr.and Mrs. Bananas!
Love you Mom!
Love yous both too
It was so good that I had to watch it again. I love your videos and I enjoy watching your videos especially when it’s raining. Great stuff my friend John from Sheffield in England Great Britain
Appreciate it John!! Got more coming I promise.
Sam, good to have you back. I go car camping, or park and walk to a spot a few miles on. Most campground, if you ask, have remote sites, some will tell you "i have fifty acres, camp where you want". Wood is expensive, as a carpenter i have no shortage of kindling, or larger dimension lumber. I collect empty cardboard boxes from any establishment, then cut the wood to size, stacked neatly with newspaper stuffed between, be surprised how much wood fits in a box. As well collecting radom logs through the year, cut and stack for future use. I bring a 18volt makita saw & pull saw
with me, four charged batteries, good for four days cutting small logs i drag out of the woods, or rivers. Chopping gets old. Have a good one Sam.
Dude that’s a nice setup you have there. Cheers brother 🍻🍌
I wud love to hear gear reviews on ur bigger stuff and how they work and I guess little stuff too if they really do good things. Go gear reviews!!!! I'm in.
Thanks so much my friend!
This is the best rain+tent+storm+raindropspunds = just perfect
Awesome glad you liked it bud!
Nice video of the storm, this looks like Nebraska storms, would've like to see how inside the tent looked. You didn't toast the buns or add lettuce and onions. Most bbq burgers don't have them, though a supreme bbq does oftenhabe two patties. Served with Bush beans and more bacon. I would've thrown everything in the cooler, went inside the tent and then collected rain water in buckets.
Yeah I could have had some more fixins for sure. To be honest I took pork chops to work and was planning to cook those at camp, but I forgot them in the work fridge. Had to run to the grocery store and just wanted to get something quick and easy. Still good though! I do have footage inside of the tent at parts there.
Bro watching you eat that hamburger while the storm rolled was pure gold. We need an “omg” counter lol
Hahaha dude I know! I really should have put an OMG counter, that would have been so fun
I love the idea of geer reviews. I love your attitude and content. Also I'm a fan of the banana flask. Keep doing you!
Dude thank you!! 🍺🍌
Sure doing a gear review is a good thing. People like to see what is being used and what is actually worth buying for themselves. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures 😀 and Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into these videos.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
🤗HUGS🤗
This comment is very much appreciated. Thank you, this type of stuff keeps me going
