Solo Overnight Camping in the RAIN | Alone in the Woods | Tarp Set up | Campfire | Storm

In this video I hike into the woods solo for an overnight rain camp. After struggling to get the fire going with wet wood, I set up camp. Including a nice tarp setup so I can enjoy the storm. In the morning I deal with the aftermath and hike out with a heavy wet pack.
For anyone who wants to skip right to the rain, it happens at 17:48

When things go wrong I like advice on how to solve them, and this is important for viewers. It can be all fun and super however if you have a problem in these conditions figuring out how to fix the problem is vital to your survival. Well done buddy, you tell it like it is.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Thank you so much!!

[@johnmcnulty4425]

You really need some help with your fire techniques, if you don't mind, from an old scout leader. First, dig some sort of pit that can also be drained, like a U shape. Next, get way more firewood than you initially need. Line the pit with some sticks so the first coals from the fire don't land on wet dirt but something flammable. When fires are getting started is not the time to go gathering more wood, but to have plenty already gathered. I get a fire going all day in steady rain by lining the fire pit with logs to dry them out as they waited their turn for the flames. Get a blow tube for blowing oxygen on the coals, a tent pole can work as well - it's way better and more effective than blowing down on your hands and knees.

[@Bubba4168]

[@ChrisIsOutside]

I solo camped in the rain last year and it absolutely poured. The rain started as I first set up my tent and didn't stop for 2 days. it was a total wash out, but my tent floor stayed dry and it finally stopped when I needed to pack up and move on. I don't mind camping in the rain, I just hate setting up and packing down in the rain :P

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Dude yeah for sure. It sucks getting stuck in the tent for two days, I've had that happen before. If you can get a tarp strung up and it only lasts a few hours, then I find it really enjoyable.

@@CampingwithSamBananas seriously??? I believe that you are not very experienced with camping and setting up your tarp. You seem to be mimicking Tony and Bruce by the tarp situation, the cheers remarks and the constant drinking and all the Hooting and Hollering I did not find amusing at all Seems to me I was just watching a very inexperienced camper who consumed too much liquor. So all I got out of this video is a man setting up a tarp that didn't work and you drinking and then tearing down your tent and leaving. Only thing enjoyable to me about this whole experience was the sound of the rain, Sorry but I will not be tuning in any more. But I do Congratulate you on your recent marriage,

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

@@lindaretherford1175 I’ve never heard of Tony and Bruce. I was just having a good time. I have a moderate amount of experience, but I’m definitely no expert and don’t claim to be. Sometimes my camps go perfectly and sometimes they go horribly wrong. I could edit the video to make it look like everything was smooth. For example I could show lighting the fire starter and then cut to a full blown fire (which I did achieve). I choose to show the video as it actually happens, because I feel that makes for a more genuine experience. Things don’t always go perfectly. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it and I hope you find a channel that suits you better. I’ll be here if you change your mind. Cheers 🍺🍌

I love camping in the rain too, especially if I can catch a T-storm. It is not easy; you have to be in the right place at the right time. I use a 7x9 tarp that I rig A-frame style. That is the smallest that I dare to go. The tarp is made out of DCF and weighs 5.2 oz, which is minimalist compared your setup. I just love being out there, listening to the pitter-patter of the rain on the tarp, or better yet, counting the seconds between lightning and thunder. Every 5 seconds is about a mile. Nice to see other kooks out there.

Looks like you picked a mud puddle ( 28:19 ) to set up camp in. When I tent camp I like my ground cloth about an inch inside the bottom of the tent. Nothing sticking out to catch rain and funnel it in under the tent. Better yet I normally camp in a jungle hammock so everything is up off the ground and under a decent sized Rain Fly ( Tarp ). It always rains when I go camping . I like the sound of rain on the rain fly during the night. If an Owl sounds off it makes it even better. Thanks for showing the real camping experience.

In my most recent video I revisited this spot and filmed that exact location after it had been raining for a day. In hindsight it was a terrible spot to pick. But hey, it was an adventure!
