I Rented A Fire lookout! Breathtaking VIEWS!

At an elevation of 6,500ft, I was in awe of such spectacular views all around me! Tonight, I will be solo overnight camping in a fire lookout. The adventure began at the bottom of the mountain. A twelve-mile forest road to the top with sharp curves and large boulders proved to be a challenge to summit. After an hour and forty-five minutes of off-roading, I finally made it! The fire tower sat atop buckhorn ridge and stood 26ft above the ground. The wind was heavy at the time but slowly dissipated as the night drew on. After carrying my gear up and down the fire lookout I was exhausted and ready to relax. The sunset was awe-inspiring! One of the best I've witnessed. Once the sun went down it was time to cook. A four-course meal fit for a king! In the morning, I witnessed an extraordinary sunrise. With a 360 view of the horizon, I had the best seat in the house! I will never forget this experience and am so thankful I was able to capture it all on film for others to enjoy!

Some of you may have seen this video before on the other channel. This was a trip I took last year. I figured I would re release it on this channel as I was not able to get out camping this week 😬 I hope some of you that have not seen this will enjoy it! God bless you all!

[@cheypam]

@BaumOutdoors what is the link to your other channel? I'm a newbie here and have been binge watching your videos! Also, who taught you how to cook?

[@BaumOutdoors]

The other channel is called “Baum Grillin’z” I’m so glad you are enjoying the channel! I just love to cook new recipes 😊

[@cheypam]

@@BaumOutdoors thank you very much!

[@lindah6954]

I was relaxing and enjoyable. Fire tower camping is even better than spending 2 night on a train Caboose. Another long forgotten tool, but even less thought of today.

[@jacquelynwilliams4723]

Very clever and unexpected!

[@crewrangergaming9582]

My man did not just brought a full 3 course meal to the fire lookout but a chef and waiter dress to complement the whole process. Mad respect. 😂😂

This reminds me of the video game called " Fears Of Fanthom " about this guy who sees scary stuff at night while guarding a watch tower. And the tower looks just like this, is also based on real life events. I recommend you guys watch " hollow watch tower "

[@abslofi150]

Game would be easy with that locked hatch for the stairs 🤣

[@13th_Shots]

How about the game "Firewatch". This lookout looks exactly the same!

[@johnloneman3513]

That cool thing In the middle of the lookout is used to basically plot where a fire is so they can all it in with coordinates of the fire

[@BaumOutdoors]

I figured it had something to do with that! Just was not positive! Thanks for the great info 👍
