Attempting To Camp On A Lighthouse

[@lauraa2778]

Wes has the most relaxed and positive attitude towards life, it's admirable. I enjoy his travels immensely, helps to bring a sense of calm to us, the viewers. (My idea of camping is going to the motel by the beach - working the pm shift I am not rising with the sun but much respect to those who do!)

That really means a lot... glad the adventures can help you relax :) :)

[@bobbackward6461]

A lot of Xers, Mils, and Zoomers these days watch camping shows the way the Boomers used to watch fishing shows; for a half hour, you can get in the boat, sail out past the breakers, get away from the crowds and chill.

I'm wondering if this guy has been on some paranormal trail cam channels, he does go out to some remote and very haunted looking locations honestly.

I respect that you didn't go for your original spot. Safety is a good message to send.

Good call playing it safe. It's nice to see adventuring content creators not just acknowledging, but documenting and demonstrating safety.

[@jonathanklein383]

Spoilers..😡

[@riproar11]

The fact that the Earth has the Moon that is 1/6th of it's size that orbits it every day/night and affects how high the tides change is such a great factor in how it affects weather systems and all marine life shows how incredible our world is and how rare it doesn't exist much or at all among trillions of galaxies and solar systems in the Universe.

[@suzannelegeza1292]

Hi Wes! ❤ It is so good to hear from you! I am sooo grateful you have a good head on your shoulders and did not attempt that lighthouse!! It was cool at least to see it up close! That little island turned out to be a blessing, especially while you were losing daylight! That sunset was spectacular! It must have been the site to wake up in the morning and realize the island you were on was more beautiful than expected! Thank you for sharing your adventure! Stay safe 🙏 and I look forward to your next destination 😊

[@WesWherever]

Hi Suzanne, glad you enjoyed this one!! 😊 I was a little disappointed at first, but yes it definitely ended up being for the better!! Was very thankful for this rocky little island and the beauty it had to offer 🤩 Definitely would not have gotten to check out tide pools from the lighthouse haha. I will keep safe 👍👍 I always appreciate your support & kind words 💙

[@eriktred]

Your genuine kind nature comes through in your videos. Refreshing to see on social media.

Warm brown bread with melted butter is amazing.

Yes. But for me it has to be drenched in butter.

Cream cheese, & sum black tea. B & M brown bread out of a can.

Grew up eating that brown bread, my Mom (RIP) introduced me to it, it’s great toasted with butter and cream cheese.

[@Goomer]

Hey, your in my neck of the woods. I surf at Nantasket and have kayak'd near the light before.

[@eden1588]

I love that I can live vicariously through your videos and adventures. Tysm.

KZbin has brought you a new viewer. Discovered you and like the slower pace you take and the respect for the places you visit. If it's too sketchy you willingly adapt and that is admirable. Please stay safe!

[@Gamble661]

I live south of Boston and know Minot Light well, it can be a very dangerous area for boats let alone a kayak. One thing we don't have a shortage of in New England is lighthouses, I'm sure you'll be able to find a more suitable one. B&M makes the best baked beans! My father used to love Brown Bread but me....not so much. It's still in every supermarket in NE though so someone's still eating it.

[@lindaterrell5535]

I can only eat brown bread if it’s drenched, as in dripping with butter.

[@lindaterrell5535]

I remember tides so severe that our floating dock would be hanging from its chains with bare sea floor beneath it.

[@bettyvarone4420]

As long as you are safe it doesn't matter where you camp, and you were blessed with high tide to get you off the island rocks so much easier, that canned bread was very interesting, never heard of it before.

[@WesWherever]

It all really worked out 👍👍 That meal was way tastier than I expected... glad you enjoyed this one Betty, thanks again for watching!!

[@huitcentdix]

loving these videos as always dude! this island was in fact also really interesting, you can find interesting details pretty much everywhere as long as you peel an eye and take the time to :) Thanks a lot Wes !

[@duncansgamechest]

We share the same passion for these. Do a ton of photography on the side and enjoyed your island trip, and I've always wanted to potentially be a caretaker for a lighthouse like this. Its amazing how well these structures hold up with the storms that roll through. Enjoy learning about the history of each one i come across.

Hi! Loving camping and ocean kayaking all my life, but never ever thought of camping on rocks covered with bird poop- you're amazing!

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

What a cool vid!! I think that gorgeous sunset was Mother Nature telling you that you made a good decision to pass on the lighthouse, then blessing you further with that awesome little island! I’m glad you got to throw the drone up a little. Gave us an entirely different perspective. And thanks for takin’ one for the team by trying out that bread in a can! 😁 I’ve gotta try that now!!

Hi Wes, I've been watching your videos while I was in the hospital hand Rehabilitation from back surgery. Just love what you're doing! Your videos are getting better and better, and I'm so impressed with your strength patience appreciation for the outdoors and you're so prepared! Thank you I really enjoyed watching these. I live in Florida close to the Indian River lagoon and intercoastal. There are many islands here you should check it out. The winter time is best. I used to be the caretaker of one of them, working for the EPA. I'm going to recommend this book I know you would love it. "North to the Night" by Alvah Simon. Check it out.

Glad you were safe!! Yay Maine!! Maybe you will run into my brothers! Love how this has grown and all the nice little extra educational things you put in. What a great island!

[@kell_checks_in]

I think the pink stuff in the tide pool might be "coralline algae." It's alive! (I looked it up. Thanks internet.) Apparently, you can buy the different colored spores to use in fish tanks to make the rocks look cool.

My father would make Brown bread in a coffee can. That was back in the seventies. We grew up in Cotuit on the Cape and one of my mother's drinking buddies lived in Cohasset. She would take my brother and I up there to visit. We would do yard work while my mother and her friend drank Cutty Sark scotch. As a reward for the yard work, my brother and I would each get a plate of fried chicken livers before the drive home with mom "three sheets to the wind"

[@WhatTheSamHill7303]

Minot Light is an iconic lighthouse. A fun fact about the light, each light flashes its own unique code. The code for Minot is 1-4-3 which why it nicknamed the "I Love You" Light. And your meal choice was a traditional Saturday night meal here in New England. Used to As a native New Englander and lighthouse lover, I hope your remaining trip is full of adventure and discovery. Check out Whaleback Light in Kittery, ME and Nubble Light in York, ME.

[@dt8ustotten285]

Lived in New England my whole life... just ate canned brown bread vicariously thru you! That meal looked delicious. Thanks for sharing! Lots of lighthouses in Maine ;

It's the first time you popped up, and I'm glad you did! With that beautiful sunset and crashing waves, you could have made an ASMR video. You even have a voice that is pleasing to the ears! Thanks for sharing! I truly relaxed and enjoyed your journey.

[@helenramsdell1959]

Hi Wes Welcome to MA. I'm in MA near Brockton. I'm glad you listened to your own wisdom and skipped the lighthouse. The sunset was gorgeous. . Your meal was one of our staple meals growing up in our household of 8 people. My Mom used to cook the bread in the can in the oven. (Removing the wrapper of course) She then would cut it up and fry it in butter in a pan.

[@restonthewind]

Thanks for another inspirational video. I love baked beans, but the wife hates them, so we never have them. Think I'll take some on my kayak camping trip this weekend. She hates camping too.

What's a vegetarian to do? I suggest substituting mushrooms in the place of meat. Roast, then saute some shiitake and portobella to add umami to the baked beans.

Fantastic video, I really enjoyed it. Your video (incl. drone) quality is super. I'm a New Englander and I never tire of the rugged beauty of our coast. I was laughing first when you were cooking the hot dogs over the stove, and then when you were discovering the brown bread! I'm glad you backed off the lighthouse.... too much that could go wrong attempting that. That little rock island proved to be an awesome little adventure camping spot... just wouldn't want to be there during a storm! Safe travels! I'm digging your channel!

I lived most of my life in New England so when I moved to Georgia I missed a lot of things like brown bread. Can't seem to find it here. So, I learned how to make it myself and it's much better than store bought.

Hi Wes, I came by your video while looking for kayaking videos. I must say that you have an incredible positive attitude. It’s too bad the lighthouse didn’t workout but you made the best of it without complaining. I grew up in Massachusetts, Saturday night dinners (suppah as we called it)was always Kayem franks, B&M baked beans and brown bread . Thanks for the memories. I’m going to checkout your other videos.

[@chuckbeattyo]

Incredible channel. I'd watch any of your content. Excellent, thanks so much. It takes excellent athleticism, and the variety of skills to do what you do, and share it to our benefit. And for posterity, I mean, who else films and goes visits these things, and the video content is here for posterity. A lot of eyes can now see so much. I especially like the content of your scrambling on the wet slippery boulders, and your second by second foot destination placement choices as you step, that truly is elite level scrambling. It turns on a person's "billygoat brain cells" watching it, it's what I enjoy the most. Getting my "billygoat brain cells" switched on as I watch how you choose your steps. B & M needs to give you something, since I just ordered a bunch of their cans of brown bread due to your content today. (During the Oct 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, my father was on Army duty on the Military Base at Mannheim, Germany, and as Americans might expect, our military members were on almost constant "Alert" highest level status for that week and afterwards---meaning us "dependents" meaning children and spouses, some of us, like our brood of sub 16 year olds, ate K-rations for meals that week, including the highlight K ration treat which was the brown bread with raisons in a can, just like B & M's brown bread with raisons variety.). Good choice. Who knew bread in a can!
