In this video, I hike out to have a nice camp in the rain. I love to camp in the rain and I do it frequently. I was very excited to cook on the campfire and try out a plow point tarp shelter. I got a very unpleasant surprise, which you will see in the video.
I am a big believer that sometimes you have to know when to throw in the towel.

Some areas just don't make good campsites, no matter how many trees they have.
Hey Sam! I think that yellow wrapped/wrinkled paper was either a McDonald's wrap or Burger King or...ah-em a poo bag for a person if not a dog...?? You will not believe the crap I have found around my area hometown...and it gets me very angry because I have no idea why or how the junk got there in the first place.
One reason I watch your videos is your great attitude. 👍
Thanks Curt! I always try to keep my spirits up for you guys.
I know.....I know, I find that extremely remarkable as well! 👍😉😃
Love it when you post new stuff Sam! Keep it up so I can live vicariously through you!
Haha awesome Matt! It’s my pleasure bud, thanks for watching 🍺🍌
Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s the adventure that counts !
👍👍
Good video. A couple tips... A repair kit 😃, always carried with a inflatable pad.
You struggled a bit with the fire at first on that soppy ground. Use base logs much bigger, like 4-6 inches. By the time the fire burns down through them, the ground will be dry.
Set your plow point tip atleast eye level; you had a lot of water collecting on the tarp and much of the tarp was on the ground, limiting your space. By bringing it up a bit, it will help, and heat from the fire will circulate in if you was closer to the fire.
Lastly, a leaf bed isn't that bad. You still had the foam pad. For many years I camped w/o a pad and slept on leaf beds. Kinda a pain to build tho.
Great job going out in the elements when many people won't and sharing your mistakes as wll as the successes. I like honest and open channels with people just doing their thing 👍
Hi Justin! Lots of good advice in there, especially the tips on how to set up the plow point. This was my first time with that configuration and I thought it looked so simple, but there was more to it than I thought. I appreciate you watching bud!
Good tips. Your tarp looked big enough that if you had the tip of the tarp 7 or 8 ft off the ground, you could have your fire under it to keep it protected from the rain. You would benefit from having your fire closer anyway. You could get more heat in your shelter, and keep the fire smaller to conserve fuel.
Sam Bananas is the Man .I need to start a camping trip like you do...
Good luck my friend!
Excellent call heading out crap happens. My dome light went out priceless end 🤣😂👍💯
Hahaha my car is a POS for real! Thanks for watching bud.
Enjoyed your video, Sam. This is proof that every camp just isn't always as easy as the way it's portrayed because of clever editing. You went out & did your thing. Enjoy your successes, learn from your failures and ignore the negative comments. Rock on!
Thank you so much, I needed that!
Thank you for sharing this video with me.
Thank you for watching
Good job. You’re safe. That’s all that matters.
Thanks Linda!
Always have to have a plan B and C. Try wrapping the asparagus in bacon and cooking over the coals. It’s always an adventure and we learn from your mistakes. Happy New Year!
Thanks Steve!! As I was watching, I thought I should have wrap the asparagus in the bacon. Next time!
Hah! I made that same tarp setup mistake the first time I went winter (18 deg F and ~20 " of snow and still snowing!) tarp-camping, too. Also, after getting up (never got to sleep for more than a half hour or so) at 3-hour intervals to take care of business, on the third wake-up I said THWI; packed up at 0400 and walked out in the dark! Cheers!
Dude that sounds like an experience! It’s fun to challenge yourself but at a certain point it’s no fun being out there anymore
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I liked and subscribed. That yellow plastic is more than likely what's left of a mylar balloon someone let go to remember a loved one etc... I find them all the time in my travels. I found one about 160 miles from a town one time deer hunting here in Oklahoma. I burn them in my fires. Appreciate your honesty. Love what You're doing.👍👍 God Bless!
Very interesting! Thanks for watching man. I appreciate the encouragement 🍺🍌
Really enjoyed the video. No matter if you are very experienced, or new at something, things can happen. I very much appreciated the honesty without a polished video. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that. This was a tough for me and it was tough to post it as is also. But I wanted to show it how it happened.
You are very resilient, Sam. Wish you all the enjoyment and success!
Thank you so much!
Sam, it’s important to learn from mistakes. That you are willing to demonstrate this brings real value to your video. Thanks. Texas
Thanks Jeff! It was a tough decision to post this because it’s not my finest moment. But I just want to be real and show it how it happens. I appreciate the kind words.
You seem like such a nice young man. I play your videos every night for my grandmother before she falls asleep. She says it keeps the nightmares away.
Another great video. I appreciate that you still post even when the camp doesn’t go as planned. Personally, I don’t know that I’d have handled hiking out of the woods in the pitch darkness and coming across an ancient cemetery with the same positive attitude you did. I’ve seen too many horror movies. 😱😂
Thanks man! Yeah it was definitely a spooky time but I thought it was best to leave. And I wanted to show the honest version. By the way there is a video of me camping in that graveyard in the rain too if you go check me channel. Not too far back.
Hi Strange camping and Kevin with small plots!
Now was the time to test your survival skills.
Hey Sam bananas Tony from Iowa USA checking in great show you definitely try 2 👍's up young man and bacon stay dry lol
Thanks Tony! I do my best but I just try to keep it real and show it how it really happens. Thanks for watching, cheers 🍺🤣
love the Cheshire smile Fun stuff
😁
I like this video 👍
Thank you!
@@CampingwithSamBananas 👌👌
hindsight would say to bring a patch kit whenever inflatable items are brought
Sure. However when I patched this pad once I was home, the directions said to let the pad sit for 4 hours before re-inflating. In the future I’ll take a patch kit and super glue because that won’t take long.
i'm glad 100% you look after yourself, better to return home than to wake up a ghost (as steve wallis says) x
True! Steve is the man. By the way he posted saying he next video will be Sunday instead of usual time and he’s doing something ambitious and different
25:28 - Oh my: This is dangerously close to becoming a future MrBallen video!
Whatever you do, Sam... Do NOT go scuba diving!!!
Yes do a overnight in that old cemetery in the rain and thunderstorms
I think I will!
Wow, bei dem Regen ein Feuer zu starten und es am laufen zu halten ist schon eine super Leistung 👍🔥👍
Interesting outing... Nice clip.
Thanks bud! Got a new video going up in the morning just so you know
I've got a good way to protect a fire. Hammer a stick into the ground at an angle then paracord a mini umbrella on the end
Hmmmmm well there’s an interesting idea. I could even use duct tape
i like it when things go wrong, exciting! :) thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. Wasn’t sure how people would feel about it.
another cool vid bratha ...and yes i agree ..strange camping is a really fun guy to watch as well...and as mattoast says ... i live vicariously through you guys
Hey Mark! Glad I could provide some entertainment for you bud
Love the video. So serene and love the sound of the rain drops.
Me too bud, me too.
Sam, very awesome video. -Venustas Heated Apparel
great idea suspending plowpoint from the line! I thought about it but never did it. kudos...
Thanks! I thought it worked pretty good
Couple of discreet sips from the banana flask and the hike is a bit more interesting, right?😂
Haha yes sir!!!
I would have put fire closer to tarp and laid some huge punky logs over the fire to protect it from the rain.😊
This has got to be the most dismal, head shaking camping video I've seen out of hundreds, if not thousands. Wow. Mostly due to inexperience or lack of anticipation. Yet you will turn things like this into a learning experience, like we've all had to do. With experience, one learns to in-an-almost-paranoid way anticipate what can go wrong... with everything related to being out in the wild. Not always successful, but improved outcomes follow. You have the right ideas. Now, repeat over and over til you shine. I come from a high mountain wilderness search and rescue background, so have had this approach seared into my brain and body. Best!
Hey! Some us are learning right there with ya! I look at each adventure as an opportunity to gain XP 😁
Haha I like that perspective! Thanks for watching Capt
That Mora is one tough little knife 🔪
Dude it really is! It’s like $20 too
Oh for sure have a few more beers. lol
🍺🍌
"Since I only have one plastic bag...it gives me an excuse to get the beer out!" You never need an excuse to get the beer out bro, (almost) anytime is a good time. Lol. Love the rainy vids
Haha true!
Can of soup or a bag of soup you add water to would go with the wet weather you are in, bring extra food for cold or wet weather (seems always hungry when cold or wet and meal helps warm up
It’s great advice, I need to get better at having contingency plans.
getting those blair witch vibes
Haha dude for real, it sucks hiking out at night 🤣
Good evening brother good to see you 🤝
Nice to see ya bud!
Great stuff brother. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
สวัสดีแซม ในที่สุดคุณก็มา เรารอคุณอยู่นะ ขอบคุณกับ วีดีโอ ที่ยอดเยี่ยม love you sam
Always a good day when a notification pops up for a new video from you!
Adam you’re the man, thanks for watching dude
Rewatching some videos. This is one I haven’t seen in a while. I’m glad you didn’t get lost while off trail. I definitely would have.
This was a good one, but I always hate having to throw in the towel
Really liked the Blair witchy ending. The only thing that would have made it better is that if every trail had led you back to the graveyard. Of course, then we would never see the video.
Haha yeah exactly!
Hello, good and useful ... 😃👍
Thank you!
i love these "raw" style videos you do, seems like every other backpacker on youtube does these stylized edits only showing the good stuff, not the bad stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! I really try to show it how it is.
Looks like a whataburger wrapper lol.
That yellow plastic is likely hazard tape used on public works or other construction sites. The black labelling may have worn off through the years of blowing around. Its found deep ito the woods. Nice video Bud.
That’s an interesting idea, could be! Thanks for watching bud🍺🍌
Hell yeah man!! I always love when you use that logo haha. Definitely gotta do more videos together soon.
What a crazy end to the trip! Seemed like a "Murphys Law" sort of situation. Walking through the backwoods at night in the rain gives me gas.
Dude it was, this trip sucked lol. I’m finishing editing a new one now and I can’t wait to get that up. Plus I’m doing another this weekend. But yes we’ve got to do another trip. I’ll get ahold of you bud.
@@CampingwithSamBananas Awesome!
Good spirit!
Thank you!
Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s always great seeing you deal with things the way you do. What’s that saying, “the difference between an adventure and an ordeal is attitude.” Well, I’d be stoked to adventure with you one day.
Thanks Miles!! I needed that man
Excellent video
Thanks, hi Dave 👋
👍👍👍👍 awesome wow
Thanks!
I prefered pop up tent...secured and warmed
Came across this video and checked your channel out. Im digging it. Keep up the great work! (Subscribed)
Awesome, thank you!
love it man, just love it.
🍌🍺🍌
You can cook frozen meat, just at a lower temp til it thaws out, been doing it all my life hehe !
Good to know!
On a tarp that large, the point needs to be head high. You'll have a lot less flattened out on the ground at the back.
Sorry about your car man, I feel your pain, my ZTR lawnmower has been in the shop for over a month now, thought it was fixed, lasted 15 min , and back to the shop now, I hate to see what this bill is going to be, best of luck to both of us.
I got a solution for the car stay tuned! Sorry to hear about your mower my man, good luck
I lived within and managed the Lismore City Council Cemetery & Crematorium complex of NSW Australia for 23yrs, never seen a thing.
Haha yeah I didn’t either and didn’t expect to. It’s kind of funny how many people strongly believe in ghosts
I love that you are so honest. Your channel is so fun!
Thank you!! I try to keep it real
Last hike looks like a SirSpooks vid in the making lol!
Haha dude for real! I’m not gonna lie, it was a bit unnerving
Great vid!! Thanks.
Thank you!!!
Love the realness bro !
Thank you! I try to keep it real haha
@@CampingwithSamBananas no bro seeing that you are authentic is kool dude
IdealKnives….. up …but not sure I’d say up and coming.
You never know where people are going to end up, but I think he’s off to a great start. He’s got a lot more subscribers and views than I did by that time.
Nothing like humping out all that extra water weight from wet gear! Hate it! I'll hike in during the dark but once I'm there, I am NOT leaving! Looked fun though.
It was fun for what it was! I should have stayed, I would have probably been fine.
Lol Sam id be running out of fear at night thinking a skin walker or the Blair witch project awww ..
It was spooky for sure
I really like that you show the names of the knots in the video! Maybe you've always done that, but I didn't think of it untill now XD
Yeah I try to do it, but sometimes I do forget. Thank you for watching!
Came here to say the same. Good stuff Sam
Thanks for posting a new vid! Always worth the watch.
Thanks William! Always nice to see ya bud 👋
The video is very beautiful. I am watching the video from Bangladesh. I want to give you more beautiful videos and I understand English a little less but your scenes look very beautiful. I pray you go far.👉💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank you so much!
Sam, awesome video as usual, bummer about the air mattress. I recently started using Tyvek as a ground sheet just for that reason, I go over it in my PA Turnpike Exchange 351 Urban Stealth Camp. Forget the axe, your Silky and machete is all you need. Batoning with an Axe is more dangerous in my opinion, you have more control with a knife, I use a BK-9.
Hiking in the dark can be tough unless you are close to a trail or have a point of reference, you can easily get turned around. Since you camp this area often, I would get some Trail Marking Tacks.
It's great that you give fellow RUclipsrs shout-outs, I am sure they greatly appreciate it, I need to do the same more often.
Dan and Kevin are great guys and do some awesome stuff.
Hey bud, thanks for the encouragement! I’ll check that video out. I just use a poncho or a blue Home Depot tarp, I could probably use an upgrade.

Hell yes camp in the cemetery again.
I think I will!
I've just found a banana hip flask with funnel on amazon 😋 it is only £6-98 thank you for another 1st class video I hope that all's well and that you and Mrs Banana 🍌 are doing well today and look forward to seeing more of your good videos keep up the good work John England
Nice John, thank you!
Better luck next time!
Thank you!!
Glad you made it out safely
Thanks bud!
That is why I like your channel, things that go right you so it, keep making your videos,👍👍👍
Thanks Harold! I try to keep it real around here haha
Leave no trace. So sad it must be said, repeatedly. Thanks for the post. Always enjoyable.
Thanks bud! Yeah it’s a bummer but at least it was a small enough amount for me to hike out.
Another great video, Sam. I really do like that Silky Gomboy saw.
Dude it really does seem to be the perfect saw for this stuff. The only drawback is it’s somewhat easy to break the blade.
Dude that forgotten cemetery is so cool, I think we all at a certain point in life enjoy the little things that a lot of people around us have forgotten in everyday life. In a way we should feel bad for those people that don’t realize that. Anyways Thanks for the cool and fun videos! Stay safe and have fun out there sir. ✌🏻
Thank you Shayne!
Cheers! It's all good! Thanks for the great videos!
My pleasure bud! Cheers 🍺🍌
Very Nice👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🍌🍌🍌
I've been following him since his second video strange Dan
He’s great :)
Your videos always brighten my day Sam. When I read you ate half the pack of bacon it made me lol because I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't blame you for not staying bro. I would have also. Appreciate the video. Can't wait for the next one buddy.
Haha dude your username always makes me laugh. Thanks for watching bud, already got another in the bag and working on the edits. And I’m going back out next weekend as well. Putting in work!
Xin chào anh sam chuối, hôm nay không thấy uống rượu vang nhỉ,hay là quên mang theo quả chuối dung rượu
I'm enjoying your videos but i noticed it rains a lot when your out stay safe and keep making videos
Thanks, you too!
Sorry to hear about you air mat. I used a closed cell mat for years before inflatables came on the scene. Like your honesty.
Stay safe 🔥
Thanks bud! I may have been fine without the inflatable mat in hindsight.
Looks like fun.
Haha it was an adventure, that’s for sure
Nice 👍 .. thanks for sharing.
Knowing when to call it a day (or night 😏) and bail is a an important 'Survival Skill' as any other in one's Toolbox .. applicable in not only the Outdoors. There is always the next time.
Take care ..
Thanks Thomas, I agree!
@@CampingwithSamBananas 👍
They're so light I carry a large roll up Thermarest foam pad and a Zlite. Even if my nice air pad gives up and I'm not able to repair I can still be fine and pretty comfy. Besides I find so many uses for an extra pad in creature comforts I just make it a practice.
Sorry about your bad night put but at least you got out and gained experiance
Thanks for watching Aaron! On my next trip, I took two foam mats and it worked pretty well. You’re right they are super light. I may need to make that common practice in the future.
I saw the graveyard vid listed in my recs. I guess another one would be cool.
It's up if you'd like to watch it. I actually three graveyard videos on my channel.
Looks like a whataburger wrapper
It does!
Been there, done that. Not fun to pack up wet gear and hike out in the wet dark!!
Haha nope!
Love your realism and Honesty Sam! introduced to me thru your Colab on "Small Plots" with Kevin love your stuff!
Awesome man, thanks for watching! Kevin is the man.
Another superb video! Keep em coming my man! I need SOME way to pass my time at work 🤣
Haha awesome, glad I could help!
