Hey buddy, Family Man Camping Adventures contacted me. His 10 year old son is super excited to come along!

[@rodrigolara5558]

Love your camping videos!!! Really enjoy them. Keep it up!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you👍🏻👍🏻

I'm a runner. The cooling towel is the real deal. They DO work.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@susancordova3744]

@BrianWatersOutdoors you need the mission hat too. You can wear them wet and it keeps you cool on your head. I havethe towel and hat set.

[@myplace848]

I really admire your ability to camp in temperatures like this Brian. It’s not something I could do. I’m Australian and we get a lot of heat over here but it’s just not something I could ever do to myself I don’t think. Thank you for sharing.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks for watching👍🏻👍🏻

[@susancordova3744]

Kudos to you for camping in this Texas sweltering heat! Don't know how you could eat when you are sweating so much. I would be sick! I like the new table and tripod fire! You are a trooper for us!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks! I actually do enjoy it, but I would prefer below freezing temps😂👍🏻

[@Merlinsluck]

Hey Brian. I have a similar Ryobi fan but its also a mister. You can drop the attached hose into a 5 gallon bucket of water or hook to a water hose. Also runs on AC or rechargeable battery. I use it almost every time working in the backyard. Has 2 speeds. Thanks for another great video.

[@DIYfam]

I have the same fan, it's awesome!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Just looked at those. Is yours the “bucket top” version?

[@Merlinsluck]

@@BrianWatersOutdoors No it looks close to what you have but has 2 little nozzles on it. Picked it up at Home Depot. 2 amp battery lasts around 4-5 hours.

[@DIYfam]

You are a braver man than I, facing 100+ degree temperatures. Too, too hot for me! The webs looked like those of the fall web worm. Thanks for sharing!

[@pedrosalazar4348]

Update on Benehike...they finally shipped me a set of keys! I tested the tent down in Austin and it was amazing but I just couldn't handle this Texas heat and ZERO wind. Props to you on camping in these conditions. Need myself an AC next lol

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Glad to hear that👍🏻👍🏻

[@929cbr_rr]

Not to put too fine of a point on it, but: at ALL times, 10 or 12 bottles of water in my truck. And every camping trip, the seven gallon aquatainer full of water from home for me and my dog. "Water is life".

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I’ll be carrying more for sure. Between all my bottles I had about 2 gallons, but that wasn’t enough.

[@NoExcusesOverland]

It’s gonna be nice in October. It will be a nice getaway from the Florida heat. Can’t wait to meet you. Great video

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks! Really looking forward to that trip too👍🏻👍🏻

Wow! I went camping last week and it was only 95F. Plus it was dry heat with cool nights. Kudos to you. :)

I live near Wichita Falls. Just west of there. You the man camping in this! Looking good with the weight loss! Lord knows I need too! God bless and stay cool!

Thank you !

Cousin Eddie said you can eat that hamburger helper by itself ! Thanks for braving the heat for us Mister Outdoors ! Up here in NW Missouri, it got down to 55 last night, high of 74 today, so I'm doing my best to send you some cooler temps down your way.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Please do!

That's crazy hot. Think I would have stayed inside lol Go do a live stream when it's that crazy hot out lol Great content love the channel keep up the good work.

[@NeverTooOldToHike]

Did I miss which park you were at? It's funny my thought process in Texas this time of year - "Wow! Cold front! Going to be in the mid-90s!! Let go camping!" But I do it without AC. Just have a little fan i run through the night to give me a breeze. Heat is definitely draining. I use a Sawyer so I can drink water from the camp water. Camp lights are just terrible bug attracters. I did my first solo backpacking when it was 94 degrees. Wet towels sure do help and fans are your friend. thanks for showing/sharing info on the table. You are not kidding - those campsites are CLOSE! I cook noodles or rice with packaged chicken when it is so hot - works great and not so much heat from cooking. Had a neighbor that had a full on fire to cook...to each his own...

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

This was at Ray Roberts. First week they have been opened since the tornados went through it a few months ago

[@outdoorswithcain5325]

Next time try some homemade stroganoff takes pound of hamburger meat bowtie pasta noodles and a can of cream of mushroom soup. cook noodles till tender cook hamburger meat till done add all together and mix in the cream of mushroom delicious don’t add water or anything

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Sounds good👍🏻

Hey Brian! Just heard the news! 👍🏻

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Great!!

[@SuziPoozi]

Holy itchy skeeters! You really suffer for us, stop it! Got some tips that may be helpful for you for future trips. I do the vintage trailer thing and I have a little 17 ft. Airstream, I will say that aluminum does NOT reflect sun and heat, it roasts you out like and oven. You'll want to make sure your little fridge is in the shade or covered with a light-colored towel, sheet, etc. so it doesn't have to work so hard. A lot of us VT peeps bring little blow-up wading pools and use them a lot, they are amazing to stick your feet into when it's hot out. A collapsable dish pan or bucket works well too. A coiled garden hose with a sprayer would be good when you know you have a water hookup like you did this trip. You were sooos super close to having heat stroke. Please get some sort of water filter like a little Sawyer filter or Katadyn pump, it sucks that you had a water spicket and couldn't use it. I'm hoping you have some sort of water storage in mind for your overland adventure coming up, I like your channel too much to have you melt and not be able to do anymore trips. LOL

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks again for the tips Suzi!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@esiebert7625]

Cool tripod torch but holy crap almost $200, that thing couldn’t be more than $20 in materials. I built my own ammo can firepit complete with fold down gun bipod legs, might have to try and build something like that torch, cheers 🎉

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I think I paid $140 with shipping. Guess there was a sale going on when I bought it.

[@a-survivors-journey]

Nice video. Great sound and choice of music. Some nice drone views. Interesting wildlife view. Really looking forward to exploring your channel. But why camp in 109 deg weather? Almost dangerous. Looking forward to meeting you at the gathering in October.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you👍🏻👍🏻

[@doyledenison2702]

We enjoy your channel but my goodness don’t have a heat stroke on our account. Dinner looked good but no bugs for dessert or breakfast. As always I enjoy your content.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Doyle👍🏻👍🏻

[@Iam1869]

love your videos and your review channel...but the torch thing serves no purpose...other than wasting gas and it looks dangerous...I certainly wouldn't want around kids or pets or dry climates...I have gotten into the ambiance of the lanterns and the gasifier pits which look so much better and a lot more attractive to a camp setup...look forward to the Ozarks trip...l grew up at Lake of the Ozarks...be cool to see the Ozarks videos...much love...stay cool in the heat

[@bikertrash3182]

I have to ask what was worse the heat or the bugs, lol. Like being in the Adirondacks when it's black fly season, totally unbearable..,

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It was terrible this morning. Think I ate about 100 of them

[@garythatcher90]

95 degrees in my part of south Carolina today.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

🔥🔥👍🏻

[@Steve-Goff]

I assume the water from the spigot was non potable. Couldn’t you boil it with your jetboil to make it safe for drinking. I think I’d keep bottled water in my truck at all times. We just got back from a 4 day camping trip with temps in the 90’s and high humidity. It absolutely drained me

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I would not drink any campground water. You could boil it, but I ended up having enough to keep my comfortable. 2 gallons is NOT enough is what I learned ….

[@Montana_Outdoor_Adventures]

109? No wonder you were solo!!! LOL

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

😂😂👍🏻

[@retnav92]

Ouch, that's some high temps. Does the campsite water faucet not supply potable water? A 10L/2.5gal Scepter water container doesn't take up much room, and they're sturdy. If I would have planned ahead of time, I could have been camping today and tomorrow, with overnight temps of 58°-61°.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I had about 2 gallons between all my bottles, but that was not enough. I’ll be carrying more next time!

[@retnav92]

@@BrianWatersOutdoors I carry two 10L Scepters, plus always have a 24pack of bottled water. So, I take it that the camp site spigot isn't potable water? Good episode 👍

Brian, how long will that 10 pound propane run that torch fire pit.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Honestly, not sure. I’ve only had the torch for about a week and this was the first time I had it out.

[@Merlinsluck]

Would a red headlamp help with the bugs?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Probably, but they were still swarming the red camp light I had setup too though.
