Attempting To Camp On A Lighthouse

[@ocmotivator]

No idea how this got on my feed, but watching your video lowered my blood pressure about 20 points. Thanks for making these videos! Subscribed 👍

[@WesWherever]

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.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

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.

[@Theiliteritesbian]

Same experience for me

[@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!)

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 💙

[@roberth54]

Thanks!

[@joeallen3115]

Love your video. My father made that very meal for me many times. Baked beans, hot dogs, and brown bread is still one of my favorites to this day. Seeing that brought me but to my childhoods. Keep up the great work!

[@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.

Warm brown bread with melted butter is amazing.

[@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!!

[@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!! Happy trails! ❤ P.S., thanks for including the history and backstory. It’s really neat to learn more about the places we visit. 😊

Right, I bet that rope will be invaluable in the future!! Glad you enjoyed this one Drew, appreciate your support :)

[@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.

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

Hi Wes. I’m glad the lighthouse didn’t work out. My anxiety levels were high at the thought of it! Lol. Really enjoyed your adventure on the island. Such a lovely interesting place to camp. Good luck on your next adventure. Looking forward to watching it. Keep up your exploring. You take us to places we probably wouldn’t go or seen before. 💕

[@jonathanstrunk9814]

The coast of Maine has amazing lighthouses!! Look there

[@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.

[@melsfabfinds]

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!

[@andrazegart]

Just found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love your content! You seem so chill and down to earth, it’s a pleasure to follow along with your adventures! Keep em coming 😀

[@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.

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 ;

[@festerofest4374]

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!

[@grandmak5843]

Good job and I’m watching this because of Steve Wallace. I’m a fan of stealth camping now and roundabouts.

[@bobby3690]

Love the channel Wes ! New viewer here and seen all your stuff . Also enjoy camping with Steve as well . Like when the videos are longer closer to 15-20 min a tad more than the shorter format and enjoy when you post frequently weekly or every 2 weeks actively ! We love the channel !

[@janevalentine6391]

Oh boy, I'm so glad you didn't attempt climbing that lighthouse, it looked way to scary and dangerous to attempt!!! The rock island was a perfect spot. Another good video, Wes ❤.

[@rossgjerdingen2199]

I don't necessarily support trespassing, but if you're safe; don't litter, vandalize, or take anything, I think it's fine. You always clean up after yourself and leave places better than you found them so it's all good. Wish there were more people like you out there!!😊

[@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.

[@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!

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’m going to checkout your other videos.

I might go looking for some and show you that it's safe to eat friend, it's really good butter roasted to a crisp with some spice... really good, BUT only go for the fresh and lush, the darker green or nearing brown, no go it's dead, but if it's lush light green go for it...

[@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.
