24 Hours Winter Camping in Dugout Survival Shelter

[@nevais171]

One of my favorite things about these current videos is how engaging Nate is. He's almost as chatty as Kara now and I love it! I remember those earlier times when Kara did most of the talking. It's so good to see the evolution, the growth, the confidence. I'm here for this couple and these adventures.

[@ahnessa]

I love the talking bits, I learn something new in every video!!

[@LoLoLifeinFlorida]

I agree❤

[@Rachel-rs7jn]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@Jennifer-h1s]

what a fun video❤❤

[@christip20]

I can’t believe that I didn’t even notice, but you’re right! It’s great too!

[@brandyfiles]

Kara, you have me crying!!!! Honey.. take as many breaks as you and Nate need. Your crew will be waiting for your return. I can't imagine you both not getting tired and bunt out and missing family at some point... everyone does regardless of what their "job" is. Anyway, now that I've dried my eyes (lol) can I just say that I love watching every single video and thankful I get to see the wild adventures you take. Thank you for making my day better!

[@Erin-S]

Kara and Nate, take all the breaks you need for however long they are. I know the algorithm gods can be fickle but you have spent years building a really dedicated community that will be here. I’m so glad you’re allowing changes and you may need to allow even more changes and we will still be here. ❤

[@ericboyer6464]

Ditto!!! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@NahaneeRachel1]

For real 😁💜

[@jasoncusator221]

#1 collab would be Kara and Nate and @OutdoorBoys digging a snow shelter together eating homemade bread with honey butter

[@DreaDoesThings]

1,000% came knowing someone else had our opinion. Collab with Luke

[@lauraferris6725]

THIS 💯💯💯 we watch both every week! 😊

[@sellerina]

Came here to say the exact same thing!

[@mama-at-home]

Yes!!

[@millerhoo]

100% thought the same thing.

[@JuliaXoXoSEAL]

We adore you guys! I'm so happy you took a break and felt the love. I can't speak for everyone, but we missed you...however missing you for a few days is way better than you guys getting burnt out and then we'd miss you for much longer. Always take the time you need to fill your cup. Sending love and good juju from Canada. I'd love to see you guys do a Newfoundland trip.I'd offer to be a guide even. Look up Bonavista. My family is from a tiny place called Stock Cove, right on the ocean. Icebergs, whales, lobster and the most loving people. xoxox

[@toolkit71]

We have been up that way a number of times and some of our best nights were right on the ocean. There is a cafe/restaurant there that has the most amazing fresh that day seafood...if you are in to that...as what was mentioned above, the people there are amazing...going back again this spring and hopefully see some icebergs again.

[@TheAMP711]

I want to give a special shout-out to Kara! I know the videos challenge Kara and Nate, and Kara has made really clear there’s a lot of things she’s never done before or are really far outside of her comfort zone vs Nate who has some familiarity or it’s been a goal of his. Kara’s experiences take a different level of patience, resilience, and perseverance. So shoutout to her and thank you for inspiring those of us who are exploring things in adulthood! And Kara it’s okay to say no and take a break 💕

[@simonbairstow122]

Kara, I cried with you when you ate Carbonara, in Italy, after lockdown! And Im crying with you now in your genuine appreciation. xxx Luv you. xx

[@robinbeisel702]

SAME! ❤ you guys!

[@lisareich6098]

The fact that you give yourself breaks when you need them is just as inspiring for me as your travels. If you show what it looks like to take care of yourself, you can make a big difference. thank you for your openness.

[@hikinggsdmom8754]

I think the fact that you got so emotional reveals two things: 1. How badly you truly needed a break from everything and how much you physically and mentally needed that recharge. 2. How much you truly appreciate what you do. It shows that you don’t take what you have for granted and that’s what is so refreshing about your channel.

[@Michelle-wd2oy]

I cried when Kara cried. She was genuinely very appreciative of all of their followers to give them grace during their much needed time away. As a follower of you, Kara and Nate. I’m here for self preservation. If you all need a break, take the break. I enjoy all the videos ya’ll put out. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. I’m incredibly grateful.

[@resonatinglo]

I started crying when Kara started crying... We love you guys! 🌈😭 Greetings from the cold cold North of Sweden. It's a bit colder here than in what you slept and we still have 2 and a half more months of winter ahead of us. 🌲🔥🖤

[@thorium3737]

Lucky duck. Wanna swap houses? You can burn to a crisp and sweat 24/7 in australia while im all nice and cosy and not praying for the sun to explode in icy cold Sweden..... I meanyeah, the heat is great, just super...... not overly oppressive and breath stealing at all to the point you want to rip your skin off just For a fraction of relief lol

[@resonatinglo]

@@thorium3737 I was living in the south of Europe a year ago with 40+ C during summer... and realized that I need to live somewhere colder, so packed up the bags, took the kid and husband and bought a house in the North of Sweden. Cold, chap houses and amazing lakes, pines and nature. I would not swap it for the world! I worked 5 years to make it work! I would just advise you do the same. Research a bit, but the houses that far up north cost 30-40K Euro... it's worth the trouble of moving countries for that little money for a two storey house with a big garden in the beautiful nature...🌲🌲🌲

[@lucindacassell]

I swear I can’t help it

[@Murphys_Adventure]

Same, I couldn't help it. Shes so sweet so glad they took the time and everyone sent them love ❤

[@alwayselliemay]

I couldn’t help but cry too 😭💕

[@landmarkcreations1183]

You guys are awesome. The community is behind you 1000%. No matter if you post once a week or once a month, we got your back 💪

[@Christy12777]

You both are literally my favorite couple to watch. If needed y'all can take all the break you need, and we will be here for you

[@SP-os9pf]

No amount of love for someone would make me do this! Nate, you owe Kara a luxurious belated Valentines break after this 😂!!!

[@nicosummrr]

I’ve subscribed to this channel 6 years ago, caught up & liked on every single video you’ve ever made and you even travelled to my hometown in Switzerland (unfortunately I missed you). Dear Kara & Nate, I hope this message reaches you: thank you from the bottom of my heart for always putting a smile on my face whenever I’m feeling down or sad and for creating a personal safe space with your amazing content & lovely personalities. As a long-term-fan I’m thrilled to see you grow, succeed and get the recognition you’ve always deserved. Never feel bad for taking a break after literal years and years of hard work. As a fan I’m always gonna stick around, no matter how long or how often you need a break. I’m glad to see you back and I will for sure keep enjoying your astonishing journey. Lots of love, your Swiss/Italian fan Nico. 💞

[@kelliemyers4878]

Awwww Kara is such an emotional little Pisces. We want you rested and healthy so you can keep bringing us these wonderful videos❤. Always look after yourselves. Sending you love and appreciation all the way from Bali,Indonesia.

[@jtpadilla1]

You guys bring so much joy to so many people. I found you on my 40th day of lockdown at the start of the pandemic when I had just been laid off from the airport and this was pure joy and a way for me to retain my sanity and if fewer videos and more rest will help you retain yours I think so many of us will say thank you for just not stopping and take whatever time you need. You guys are still pure joy and every video is a breath of fresh air.

[@sneums6610]

We all need breaks to rest and refresh sometimes! I can't believe you two traveled and made content for SO long without a nice extended break. It is well deserved! Don't forget to stop and rest once in a while now, don't go so long before taking some time for yourselves. Cheers to a great 2024!

[@jensei76]

Welcome back! I hope one day you truly understand just how much you are loved. Always put your well-being first, please, it’s the only thing that truly matters ❤❤❤❤

[@heathertipper763]

Welcome back. Taking breaks is so important & I'm so happy that you are feeling better. Never apologise for needing a break or taking time for yourselves.

[@kinsleybeckle6778]

kara and nate would for sure be the ones to survive longest in a zombie apocalypse 😂 between this, surviving days on remote islands, etc they have the skills

[@nollj33]

This makes me appreciate Luke from the outdoor boys even more. That’s a dope snow cave, hats off 🤝

[@xxsunsxx1394]

Love the outdoor boys

[@sapphiretrini]

Honestly after that pee line discovery 🤣🤣🤣 every-time it comes up in frame I can’t stop smiling or snickering 🤭

[@bacondad6960]

same here. My eyes can't help to look at it every time.

[@amybennett7856]

Same!!!

[@dawnpouliot8931]

An for them to put their heads right next to it made me laugh too. It reminded me of all the times we built snow forts as kids. I wonder which exotic destination they will be going on after they are done in the mountains.

[@grannykimmy]

So many people love you two precious souls. Im 66 years old, started watching yall a long time ago and then your other friends too. You have an amazing family and family of friends. Im proud on the fringes to know of you. Id love to know yall in person but this is ok. You never know when life is over so tell your peeps you love them and live life as it comes. So i love yall. ❤️

[@maura3771]

Yey, just Kara and Nate casually making my Saturday! We are cheering you on and love seeing you!

[@jenny4ynwa895]

You look so cold Kara! Ya know, we don’t hate a good split adventure with a Kara cam and Nate cam if you guys have different ideas of fun sometimes that’s totally okay.

[@stephaniebrandsma4151]

O

[@LeaDesigner]

Long time fan! We all need to push ourselves to try new things and you guys have proven that physically you're willing to go the extra mile.... or 3000! But there are other ways to branch out. I believe Nate typically does most of the planning. May I suggest that Kara plans this year? I'm bummed watching Kara suffer through miserable extreme experiences. I really want you guys (Kara ; ) to be enjoying yourselves, especially so you'll keep making amazing videos for all to enjoy!

[@ErinLogan-t4i]

Nate is an absolute ROCKSTAR when it comes to building a safe warm shelter out of snow. Kara, you DID a great job too

[@bluemoon8625-z8x]

Aww I got emotional when Kara got emotional 🥺🥲 And that cute intentional placing of Valentine's roses in every scene did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated 😂🌹🍫

[@alisoncoldwell8021]

Kara and Nate-- I've become obsessed with your vids in the past 2 or 3 months! Watched this one and recognized Carrie and Justin from my HMI days, then was SHOCKED to spot myself at 26:05. HMI was incredible and I feel so lucky to have had so many once in a lifetime adventures as a high schooler. Now at 26, I love living vicariously through the two of you

[@TheMizner7]

Awwww, don't cry, Kara. You'll make us cry. We love you guys. ❤️

[@cg2938]

I love how you two are so big now on KZbin but you are still humble at heart. Thabk you for the thank you 😊 Keep those videos coming… and yes take as many breaks as you need!

[@samanthaprestii]

One of the best birthday gifts, having Kara and Nate drop a new video to watch. But we have come to the understanding that watching Kara and Nate is more important then studying for my math test and writing papers for my classes and I am okay with that. I love y'all

[@1904-d3x]

O No don't cry. We all appreciate you 2. But absolutely so happy ya took a break. well deserved it.Yall welcome back we missed ya. 100% understand.

[@paulws58]

Kara you are a bad ass woman to go through all the adventures that Nate dreams up. May God watch over you and Nate in your adventures.

[@samanthawood3067]

It’s only fun for us when you’re having fun too! Love you both, Kara & Nate. Will watch you for as many or as few videos as you want to create. 💜

[@truckingwithtobee]

I love that you guys are so close to FOUR MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT! That’s more people than what is in my city of Vegas! What a tremendous accomplishment! ❤ PS. I love how Kara marked her territory in the shelter(On accident)😂😂😂

[@isabellamargaux2784]

you guys have the best travel videos in the world of internet. Living a very full, fun filled life. Makes me want to travel and experience life outside of my comfort zone. Thanks for inspiring us.

[@Skittl1321]

Please let Kara have a night at a nice spa and find a friend to do these videos. Poor girl hates being cold.

[@CatOnACell]

snow caves are the most comfortable way to sleep in -5f and below. well made caves stay a consistent 30-35f degrees. fun thing about snow caves. once you sleep in them once you are good to go for the rest of the season. once it gets one good freeze thaw cycle (sleeping thaw leaving for the day freeze) it essentially becomes a solid ice shell. scout camps where a group fails to make a snow shelter can have the scouts sleep in shelters built at the start of the season.

[@gregtrain1]

I'm sorry Nate, I'm with Kara on this one! That's no way A fun Valentine"s Day. I think you owe her A trip someplace warmer

[@Katie-lp3wb]

Gosh, I love this video more than anything. I grew up in Leadville and just seeing Justin and Carrie and all the Galena Mountain and HMI stuff is so cool. I miss the Leadville sunrises sooo much!

[@ellagregory818]

Are you crazy ? Why do you let him talk you into doing that crazy dangerous stuff? Did anyone know exactly where you guys were just incase you didn't make it back to civilization? I'm old enough to be your mom so I'm aloud to say this stuff and be concerned lol she deserves a hot beach week after this one nate 😊 I was cold just watching you two

[@jolandascheffers2019]

Happy to see you again, and everyone deserves a break when needed. You look so happy together!

[@Allysthriveera]

So interesting seeing this as the Inuit lived in igloos for thousands of years. They would used a qulliq and caribou/seal furs to keep them warm in Arctic temperatures of -60C. Also the igloo would build a layer of ice that would help withstand huge wind storms. Was really cool to see how with modern resources it was still cold inside there. Thank you for sharing!

[@amineslami6349]

I've been watching your videos more than 4 years now. I enjoyed every second of it through out my good days and bad days. When I started watching you I barely understood one or two words but you were one of the main reasons I started learning English. And it has changed my life for the better. I can't thank you enough. Take as many breaks as you want. You don't need viewers because you have plenty of fans.❤❤

[@rosesigado]

You and Nate are such a lovely couple to watch go on these experiences. Melts my heart.

[@1927su]

What great timing! One of my best friend’s & her Husband used to “winter camp” when the winter camping stars aligned! Tho the years passed & eventually his health prevented those extreme adventures for them, they still traveled often! He never lost that spirit that one must have to do something like this! Love the memories this snow adventure you just posted brought forth! RIP Randy M. Your adventurous spirit will be remembered by many , and will not be forgotten!

[@sarainberg4858]

I’m not tearing up 😊Awe you two. glad you took that time for yourselves. Your ppl here love you, so not to worry. taking care of yourself is number 1!

[@emilyarriaga3086]

The Valentine’s flowers!! So sweet! Happy Valentine’s you two Love Birds. ❤🥰

[@pammcfadden9217]

You two are amazing. Not only for your awesome adventures, but also for staying together through all your adventures. Nothing says true love than you two.❤😊😊🎉

[@kathleennorcross9114]

Watching this video I can see the joy back in your faces! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures! ❄️

[@nadinepotter5697]

I hope Kara gets an amazing experience of her choice soon after that one. She looked completely exhausted at the end of the day. I don’t know where you get the energy from and you must be next level fit.

[@lttree2391]

OMG CARA GETTING EMOTIONAL OVER OUR SUPPORT.... LOVE YOU GUYS... content creators are HUMAN. I send you both so much love and I hope you've enjoyed your rest and that you are back into this envigorated and ready to go.. AnD TO ENJOY your adventures.. hopefully warmer settings next time LOVE U BOTH.

[@STB1]

Out of the channels I follow, I appreciate your authentic selves, your zest for live and adventure and you serve as a reminder that the world is a very big place and that everyone should look to expand their horizons. I appreciate you.

[@alisasonnenberg9072]

You essentially produce a TV show every week. I think it is insane to think you wouldn’t need a break. Those of us who watch realize what goes into these videos. Glad to watch you and hope to watch all your videos this year to continue to support you. I will never live the crazy nomadic life you get to live but I love watching you guys!

[@dt8ustotten285]

Sooo glad you guys took a break to be able to enjoy this adventure. Thanks for sharing! That was awesome!

[@sky02148]

You two are the best, you do the most adventurous stuff, and share it with us. Thanks for sharing. Love yah Nancy

[@wallykramer7566]

I have built (or helped build) a few snow shelters on Mount Hood (Oregon). It is amazing how warm they are even after hours of nearly exhausting digging. While our snow is much denser than Colorado's I had no doubt about them being strong enough to support themselves. Indeed, I have usually felt the need to partially destroy them (after use) so that they don't pose a hazard for subsequent visitors.

[@dawnpouliot8931]

You two are always surprising me, this video brought back so many memories. My brother, sister and I would build snow forts after the plows would come by. We pretty much lived in them until they melted. So grateful to be back in Florida for the winter months. It’s been in the low 70s since I got here. It took me 8 days of driving to get here from Texas. I was deadlined for three days because of mechanical issues. However it was an awesome trip. I met many wonderful people along the way. Hoping I am able to get a better RV before I go back on the road next season.

[@jeboin1977]

Kara and Nate

[@Anne-yx5vp]

Oh Kara! You sweet loving soul! Don‘t care about us! It‘s your life. You have to enjoy it. You have to feel good about it. Not anyone else. It was kind of a weird time without a video from you guys - but watching you, beeing happy and rested again. Makes up for it. A 1000%! Stay safe. Stay happy. Take all the time you need. Whenever you need it.

[@TheMelbox68]

You guys are the best. Your both so easy to like and I love seeing all your adventures! Glad you both were able to get the break you needed

[@goodvolks2know372]

Way to go Kara! Girl, don't you know, as soon as you started tearing up... I get to crying. Love your sincerity. As always, thanks for the fun video - though... I don't think I could have slept with my head in the back. I'm sure warmer back there, but I'd want to be as close to that opening as possible, haha

[@johnrogers6291]

The perfect contrast to the last video! Takes me back to building a simple snow cave in the back yard of my parents house in Manitoba. Great job Kara and Nate. Was so pretty outside the next morning. Knew you would somehow make Kate her morning coffee!😊😊

[@annemcalpine1344]

Not me crying because Kara is crying 😭😭❤ I think you two should take all the breaks you need. It was clearly so needed beyond what any of us even realized. Love you two ❤ thank you for being the beautiful authentic souls that you are and taking us on these amazing journeys with you !

[@jules7239]

You guys are amazing, you find the most extraordinary things to do! How lucky are we. So glad your break was restorative, take care 🌷💕

[@riler19]

Aww Kara don't cry hun, we ebony your videos because you guys are so real and will tell it like it is, when your body needs rest you need to do it, so if you guys need to take time off plz do it!

[@smilekatysmile]

I love that Nate is so excited and happy and Kara is there and being positive and that is what you are getting. That is love through and through.

[@RicoDaLatino2]

This was so refreshing to watch! And the morning view of the mountains! WoW! Simply...WOW!!

[@savboo10]

I'm so happy that you all got your well deserved break. Kara, you are such a patient and awesome wife to Nate. Nate is always up for a challenge, and I know some of the stuff is out of your comfort zone. You are so brave and awesome. I love watching you all grow as a couple.

[@juliedwyer1875]

Take all the breaks you need so that you can live this amazing life. We are here for you whenever you can share what you are up to!

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. Y'all's adventures get more and more epic y'all's adventures never cease to amaze us. Thanks for letting us ride along with y'all on y'all's adventures.

[@DebraANDBilly]

Awww Kara 🥹 you’re making me cry! I’m happy that you both enjoyed your break! 🤍

[@alexialoveland420]

It's awesome seeing you guys do what everyone COULD be doing this lifes not long and you two are living it bless your hearts and keep up the great work!

[@Chantal_4107]

Guys, I'm glad that you got a good break from work, it was definitely needed and it's really important for your good mental health! I will always be here for everything you do, so do what you need to to have a happy work-life balance :)

[@sanstar2007]

I can’t believe some (MOST) of the things you guys do! I love your videos! I especially love it when Kara keeps it real by showing her emotions! That’s hard to put out there in front of people you don’t know. She is the sweetest! I have MAD respect for her! Both of you are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us! ❤

[@capricornk9033]

Never. In. A. Million. Years. But, God bless, you two!

[@kristirichards2249]

The only up side for me would be the no bugs aspect. I would have to be dangerously hungry to eat uncooked pancake batter! Not to mention in need of coffee enough to drink potato flavored coffee.

[@michaelmortensen7212]

Thank you for your work and for always taking so many of us with you around the world. While I would love to be with you, I do not know that I could do all of the work that no one sees. You are appreciated! I've watched, I believe, every one of your videos from the very first one. Well done!

[@clareriley]

Oh guys. I'm crying with you. I love you guys so much. I'm really loving this adventure of yours. You can SEE you have had a good and needed physical and spiritual rest xxxx

[@jack09162]

Stop it, I’m sobbing 😭 years ago I came across a video of you two on Facebook and have been watching you ever since! You’re the only KZbinrs I religiously watch every single video from start to finish. I love you guys, take as many breaks as you want, whenever you want and we’ll all be waiting when y’all get back! Much love from an Aussie Fan 🤍🤍

[@heathershobe3694]

It is so great to see y’all doing what you do!! Thankful that your time off was restful and refueled y’all to travel again! What an epic trip this was, just the two of you, building a frickin’ igloo😆 Y’all are rockstars!! As always, so grateful for you guys and these epic trips you take me along on!! Stay you✌🏼

[@PopeTravelVlog]

Raise your hand if you love Colorado 🤚 Kara and Nate, thank you for always providing inspiring travel content. You were the inspiration that I needed to start a travel page of my own ❤

[@DodlDecF]

Taking anytime off is something you should do often. Your channel will always be here. Kara, I am not a cold weather person, but you are definitely amazing in this video.

[@kristenledwik4267]

My favorite KZbin channel ever! Kara and Nate make me sooo happy and we need to thank them for all the energy they put into these videos 💯🔥

[@mrbuckmeister]

I love your relationship! Keep chasing your joy! Rest whenever you need to. We're happy to be along for the ride. If all goes well, we'll relocate to Colorado this summer. We'll keep an out for you two.

[@michellegallagher6556]

A break is always needed. Travelling is trying. I've been watching you both for a couple of years now. I love that you take us along for your crazy adventures. I'm glad to see you back. I hope you're both feeling better x

[@isaacleow4541]

Your videos never fail to inspire. And i think the reason why its warmer in the igloo is that the snow contains many air pockets which insulates the interior from the exterior. GLAD YALL ENJOYED UR TIME TOGETHER!!!❤

[@ziggggy53ify]

So proud of you both!! Working together like that, under those conditions, is an excellent indication of a solid relationship. 💕

[@carenkaren27]

Loved Kara’s morning photo out the cave door and Nate sipping coffee. Yall did it!

[@kevinwells4986]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate Nate making the coffee. It's genuine. Heartfelt. And so warming for any cold person!

[@Savorist]

Except when he subtly forces his wife to do stuff she clearly doesn’t want to do. But yeah let’s talk about morning coffees😂

[@erinnschroeder7607]

Our family looks forward to watching every adventure and I'm so glad your break gave you the much needed rest you needed. I'll be thinking of you next month as I land in PVR wearing my fare drop t shirt.

[@Brighteyes25100]

So happy to have you all back. Breaks are needed and I am so glad you took one. It’s a wonderful way to recharge. In fact take as many as you need whenever you need them. There is so much that goes into what you do that to me a rest would be greatly needed at times. Your smiling faces make my day ever time I get a video notification. I love being able to travel along with you. It feels like I am experiencing it all right along with you.

[@BobbyOrr-x1j]

Welcome back. Take as many breaks as you need. You have plenty of content for us to (re)watch. I went back and watched videos from 5-8 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed seeing them and how much you have grown as bloggers and people.

[@christinaelliott8186]

You are both so nice and you both deserved a break. Thank you from an older retired lady who travels vicariously with you. Bless you!

[@keithallison3756]

You guys are such a cute and fun couple to follow. Keep sending it in every aspect in life and video!! The two of you make me smile during some extremely rough times. Thank you!!!!!

[@emmas7061]

Not me crying while Kara cries, we love you so much!!! You’re amazing!

[@gwauii3050]

*Been watching your firsts few vlogs and your outlook and attitude to the places you travel has come a long way on what you show on camera. So much growth, I'm all for that. Thanks for sharing your journey. All the best*

[@LoveJesusAlwayz]

Kudos to this lady! Most ladies want to settle down around this age and have stability in terms of having a house and family but she is adventurous and I hope her guy is thankful for that.

[@mariecasasnovas5945]

How anyone could ever not think you guys needed and deserved some time is beyond me. I was afraid for you and could never have done it. And that’s exactly why I watch. Thanks for the adventures they’re so exciting.
