Enduring a Severe Thunderstorm in a Montana Fire Lookout

  • In this video, we embark on a different style of camping - a fire tower. While many of these towers are no longer in use, the general public often has the opportunity to rent these towers for overnight stays during the summer months. What was a peaceful and calm evening quickly turned in a storm that I will never forget.

    Hi, I live in sweden and love nature❤ always been hiking in deep woods and mountains.
    To be part of the nature is to enter another part of our selfe, I belive.
    Another way to cook a wonderful stake is to put the stake in a plasticbag, throw in some rosemary, time, fresh garlic, salt ,pepper (pepper with lemonflawor is also greate)
    Put in lots of honey, sweet chili sause, and some dark vinegar.
    Close the bag and tos it around a bit, so everything blends together.
    You can do this at home, the bag needs to be in a frige or coler.
    When you arive at you camp-destination the meat is jucy and have lots of flawor😊
    The stake can be in the bag for several hours.
    When you Cook the stake, you can use the wet ingrediense that are left and you got a delicious gravy😋
    Love your video, next time you got that lovely view and there are a thunderstorm coming, put the camera so we can see the lightning . Its facsinating to se.
    Best of luck on your youtube-journey👍😊 Li from sweden

    Cheez-its, all the way in my opinion!!!
    The key to cast iron cooking is to remember it was designed to hold the heat, so once it gets hot, it's usually in your best interest to lower the flame so the temperature in the pan remains steadier and the food doesn't burn.
    Gorgeous camping location!!! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Great video! My mentor always told me why something happened with food if something turned out not as expected. In the case of your mushy sweet potatoes there are a couple things that can cause them to get mushy. 1. The temperature was too low, causing them to steam instead of frying or sautéing. 2. There was too much liquid introduced. Sweet potatoes release moisture of their own and when combined with too much liquid they will steam as well. 3. You overcooked them, which will also cause them to turn mushy. This usually happens when the cut size is small. I like mushy sweet potatoes. They absorb flavors really well. That is why you often see mashed (sweet) potatoes on the side ;)

    Edit: you're totally right. Both of us had never been out west before and only ever stayed in Chicago. To see these mountains and then see them again 7,000ft up really changed what kind of landscape I want to see later in my life. Beautiful country.
