CAMPING IN THE RAIN | Alone in the Woods | SOLO Tarp Camping

In this video I try my hand out at some bushcraft, by attempting to build a raised bed. Unfortunately, I run out of time. I set up my tarp configuration, get a fire going in the rain, cook some bacon Mac and Cheese, enjoy some beers and bourbon from my banana flask.

Hi Sam! My favourite stealth camping vlogges arer: - You. - Kevin from Small Plots. - Steve Wallis (big surprise) And a fourth favourite (bonus): - Billy from Offcamping (English mate). Keep up your great channel, Sam. You have everything needed to reach more and more subscribers.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Wow that is really nice of you, I appreciate that so much. I watch a lot of Billy's videos. He's awesome. Thank you so much for watching, I've got more coming!

[@drewcar3174]

Where is Billy

[@davemetzger4539]

Hi Sam. Lay a log across the back, under the tarp, to hold the tarp up and also to act as a backstop. Just a thought.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

It’s a great idea. I was thinking about that and then I got sidetracked, but I will definitely remember that on the next one.

Thank you so much! I’m a big fan of all of those people on your list

[@vennynos6859]

@What are Bankers so afraid of OK, Mr. Hater. Now here's news flash for you. Joe loves his family and his dog. And according to doctors, anyone who drinks a glass of wine a day is an alcoholic. So.... welcome to the club. Now here's a question for you Mr. I shit my pants. When is the last time when you raise your fat ass off the couch and went into the wild to camp??

[@pearly719]

I love Joe Robinet and Steve Wallis.

[@salsepulveda494]

The shelter comes first, then a fire, even if the shelter isn't exactly where you want it. Gathering dry wood is essential, before it rains, then a smaller tarp to keep the wood dry as well as your pack. You can always move the shelter later if rain hasn't started. Build a fire before it rains. It's a lot easier to keep a fire going if it was started before the rain. Watch Corporals Corner. He does it right. Rain will run down that hill and drift into your sleeping area. A small trench around your tarp can help with that. Bring a small entrenching tool for that.

[@lawcc1213]

[@MrDWat3]

I have been binge-watching your videos for the past couple weeks, and I've gotta say... Sam Bananas, you are one fun, likeable, cool, and interesting guy to watch. So happy that KZbin recommended you to me because you are fast becoming one of my favorites in this camping/bushcraft niche. We gotta get you to 100k... fast! As for your question regarding favorite KZbinrs in this space... 1. Steve Wallis - He truly is something special, but we already knew that, right? God protect this man at all costs! 2. Kent Survival - An excellent woodsman out of the UK. Very relaxing videos. A true pro at the craft. Love this dude. 3. Xander Budnick - Love this dude and his brother, Max. Stellar videos. Honorable mention to Kusk Bushscraft! That kid is amazing! Sam, I have no doubt that you'll be in my top 3 before long. I'm pretty much addicted to your channel right now. Love you and that good ole banana flask!

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

I love all 4 of those channels! Thank you for watching 🙏

[@billwrubel6313]

Favorite you tubers.. camping with Sam bananas camping with Steve, Steve Wallis of course, small plots with Kevin. I also like the Steve Wallis STEP2 channel.

[@davidbrankley1645]

I was bushcraftng in the 60s when it was still called woodcraft. Graduated to a bivy sack in the late seventies, and eventually tents. May go back to tarp camping eventually, but I still love tents, and some years spend almost 300 nights tent camping. It's what I'm used to. i prefer it to the great indoors.Favorite youtubers: Wallis and Shawn Kelly, also Simon, a bloke in the woods. He cooks some great campfire meals, and has a resonant voice and a pleasing accent.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

That’s 3 of my favorites. If like Simon, check out Kent Survival (if you haven’t already). They are buddies and team up sometimes. Really nice to hear from a veteran of the outdoors like yourself. Thank you very much for watching David. It means a lot. Cheers!

[@papasmurf1904]

I am rerun mode again Sammy! My life sucks, and I am stressed out of my mind!!! But, your videos are medicine for my weary soul! Keep me in your prayers man! I know this thanks donation isn't much.....but, it's my ultimate gratitude on display Sammy! I send my best vibes to you and Mrs Bananas! I heard Kevin had a mishap on his last video.....I am praying for him to heal-up quickly so I can enjoy more videos from him as well! 👍😉😃

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Hey bud thank you so much, it's very much appreciated! I've been texting with Kevin, he's healing up nicely. Already working on the next adventure. Planning for this fall.

[@markjones8846]

My favourite is Simon, a bloke in the woods.

[@nahnotforme9819]

I really enjoy when channels change it up a bit. I like watching this channel a lot because you stealth camp, regular camp, bring along your dog sometimes. You also have done kayaking to get to a location. I appreciate when a YT'er changes their mode of transportation. Of course I enjoy Steve Wallis, but I've recently discovered a new channel called Strange Camping with Dan that I enjoy. Thanks so much Sam for the upload buddy. I was worried you weren't going to have a good night's sleep. Glad to hear it was a decent one.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Loving the videos more and more with each one. It’s sad you have to clean up after others every time you go out. I snowmobiled for years, until an injury put the brakes on that, and we had a saying… “Pack it in. Pack it out.” I wish everyone would follow that. Makes it harder for those of us who are responsible when we go out.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Yes dude absolutely! And sorry to hear about your accident bud

[@MichiStacker]

@@CampingwithSamBananas No worries. It only slowed me down a little. I just really hate people who drop it where ever it lands and walk away. One year, we went out and did a trail clean up at the end of the season. We made the local snowmobile club about $350 on all the empty beer and pop cans we picked up ($.10 deposit per container in Michigan).

[@The_Malaka]

I see birch trees behind you I believe? The underside of birch bark is amazing for starting the fire. Cut a 6”x 6”. Strip… scrape the back side of the bark into the center (contains sap) and use the ferro rod to ignite. It will burn for a while. Birch bark can also be used for food when in a life threatening situation. 😊

Then, about a month ago a commenter on his channel said he liked Small Plots, so I headed over to Kevin's channel. Then.... um.... here I am. Also, enjoy bushradical. He's more of a cabin builder, and mechanic, than a camper. His wife has a channel called "girl in the woods." - parks worker living here in Miami, FL. Bless

Puddin’s Fab Shop my number uno fav of top five. Mustie1. Outdoor Gear Review. Mortske Repair and of course Sam Banana.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Thank you for that!

Hey Sam, nice video. As for an axe handle, make one. I use a table saw, router, utility knife and sandpaper. Keep stock longer than needed, cut later to size, this will ensure easy handling. If you have the old handle use it as a trace. A few irregularities can be fixed with 5 minute epoxy >use tape on bottom to prevent run off. Hickory, Ash, Birch, or Cherry. I used "Ipe" a few cut-offs from a deck build. Keep the grain running through, that is where the strength lies. If not comfortable with tools, then buy a handle and middle it in place, wedge in middle.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

This is a great idea. Not sure if I’m up for the challenge, but I’ll try it.

[@ROBERT-xl7yv]

Widdle in place, not "middle" oops.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

@@ROBERT-xl7yv I gotcha bud, I know what you mean haha!

[@mertr8509]

I watch you,Steve Wallis, the Baird brothers, joe and one of my new favorites ab camping ( tony and Brucie) in new zeland

[@mertr8509]

I watch corporal corner and outdoor gear review some. But those two are a bit too cocky for me. Use to watch posa but his stuff is pretty goofy anymore.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

[@stevenrandolph5635]

First time seeing your channel... nice job staying dry! Nothing wrong with a couple cold beers and a swig or two of brown. Kinda sucks making videos in the rain, especially tarp camping because of the lack of light and the sound of rain hitting the tarp but you did a great job!!! The video was easy to watch and fun.... I try to remind folks in my videos that it’s all about the fun. Gotta have fun 😁... I’ll subscribe, so I don’t miss the next one! 🍺👍🏻

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Dude thank you very much, that really means a lot. Filming/camping in the rain is a challenge but of course very rewarding. Much love brother, I was born and raised in Charleston.

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

@@CampingwithSamBananas Cool... I’m in the “Upstate”... but enjoy going down there a couple times a year. Checked out a couple other vids...... Stealth camping is fun. Leaving the car behind is the challenge 🤣. Just saw a “Bushcraft” video popped up... that’s the kind of stuff I do. Looking forward to checking that out! 👍🏻

@@KieraCameron514 Nice, thanks for the tips!

[@aaronzierke9920]

As you tap on the head you may need to trim around the head till on. And when you press it on at first to get it stuck on enough to where you can tap bottom of the handle. Hold it with the head toward the ground. Not touching the ground. Trim and tap. Trim and tap till head is where you want it.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

[@BIGTAYLORNI]
