- In this video we take a spontaneous trip into the mountains to do some spring camping at Dogwood Campground in Lake Arrowhead. We were a little rusty and made some mistakes including forgetting a few important things at home. April weather in the mountains of California is still pretty cold, but it's always beautiful.

very nice, i lived in arrowhead all my life. Glad you had a good trip.
Thanks! 👊🏽😃 And nice! Yeah it was really beautiful up there! I wanted to go fishing at the lake, but I didn’t realize it was all private property. 🤦🏻♂️😂
Great vid guys! Looks beautiful...and bacon!!
Thanks bud 👊🏽😊
Small tip . . . you seemed annoyed with the ash and smoke while cooking (who wouldn't be?), but know there is a difference between a "cooking fire" and a "campfire". Rather than a full-on campfire for cooking, it's best to make a very small/contained fire targeted under your cooking space only, and keep it stoked with small branches as needed. That way you won't have volumes of smoke in your face. When cooking is finished it's time to stoke the larger campfire with large logs. When I learned this discipline it made camp cooking much more enjoyable.
Niiiiiiiiice. Good tip! 😎🤙🏽 Usually I prefer to wait till the fire dies down and is just hot coals and small flame to do my cooking. But also I would have really liked to have cleaned the pit out. Some places have the buckets, shovels and dumpsters for ash and coals… This pit was already filled when we arrived and made it extra messy. Thanks for the comment really appreciate it! And thanks for watching 😊
You have made fire twice 🔥 😍. Excellent job 👏
😁🤙🏽
Nice campsite. Got a bit chilly. Food looked tasty.
It is. That it did. It was. 😊
Jamie is a good positive influence. Really enjoy your videos!❤❤❤
Awesome glad to hear it! 😃 Yeah she’s very very cool. ❤️😊
Awesome campground... Arrowhead is beautiful. Forgot extra blankets, and pillows... ROOKIE MOVE. 😅😂🤣
Food looked delicious, nothing like cast iron cooking. Enjoyed watching, great video.
Yeah it was pretty nice! 😃 Lol ugh yeah the blankets and pillows were all ready to go too and just left on the couch while packing the car 🙄🤦🏻♂️😂 Forgot Ketchup too! 😁 Oh well, it happens. Still a good time! Glad you enjoyed the video thanks for watching 😎🤙🏽
You should check out lake cachuma yurts. Camping. Nice place to fish also 👌
Yeah that place is definitely on our list 😊🤙🏽
You have made fire 🔥..yes 👊 😀
Good movie. Haha 🏐😎🏝
@@WhereWeWild and another great video Mr.
@@joel1964. Thanks 😊 We appreciate the kind words 🙏🏽
Hey man, loved your video, was thinking of taking the fam of 4 and dog here. How far are you from other people, would you say you have privacy?
Subbed
Hey thanks man we really appreciate the support 👊🏽😊 And nice we liked that place, can’t speak for all of the sites and I’m sure some are more private feeling than others but ours felt pretty private and was quiet when we were there. There were other sites close to ours but there was nice separation with trees and stuff that made it feel more private. Idk how much camping you do but you might enjoy this video and can use some of the ideas to help you find a good site there. Hope you have a fun trip. 🤙🏽 czcams.com/video/X9Q_xjd8r18/video.htmlsi=4HL-3U0Pru1YNfhQ
Buddy heater bro. Buddy heater and Teton sleeping bags, any of their zero degrees are the best. We went tent camping in big bear where at night it was 20-25 degrees and I took my 5 year old and 1 year old. We survived nice and warm.
Haha yeah I’ve had my eye on those 😎😁🤙🏽 I heard you gotta be careful though with the heaters putting off carbon monoxide in the tent…?
@@WhereWeWild nah bro. It’s a common concern tho. But it says right on the box. It won’t leak. If u want to be extra careful inside the tent, Then buy a carbon monoxide alarm. U already got a temperature gage.
@@SteelerLos Hahaha yeah I never had one so, that’s just what I heard that ya gotta be careful with that. Should be fine though I’d think especially with the windows cracked and stuff… but lol that’s funny and a smart idea to bring the alarm, that definitely sounds like something a psychopath like myself would do. 👊🏽😂
@@WhereWeWild Or just bring your blankets . . .
The drone footage was spot on richy. 🤔
Thanks man 🤙🏽
Consider a doubles sleeping bag. Body heat from 2 people goes a long way. We've purchased one years ago and we're never going back. A couple tequila shots before bed also helps. Lol 😆
Haha we’ve got one! 😎🤙🏽
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing! Do you know if the showers were open? Restrooms clean?
Hey thanks really appreciate it! We didn’t use them, but I believe the showers were open, and the bathrooms were very clean especially for campsite standards. Hahaha 😁 Thanks again and thanks for watching. 😊🤙🏽
Besides the temp.Ditch air mattresses especially in the cold.I have used them stopped 20 years ago.Went to self inflating mats 4 in thick ones Mondo king by thermarest etc.Now I think the next generation sleep systems for car tent campers are Memory foam camp mats Always go for the longest length always 3in thick.They also double for guest children.The ones I have are Zermatte company and Hazli Matrix company both on amazon.Not cheap but last a life time.Check out you tube vids.I'll be doing a couple in a month.
Great vids!!
Been wanting to try out some new sleep systems 👍🏽
Did you end up scoping out some of the best site numbers?
Not as much as we would have liked, but here is a website that we like to use to get some info on campgrounds we’re interested in. They have a list of “the best sites” and have pictures and stuff. 😊🤙🏽 Here is the link for you to check out. www.campsitephotos.com/campground/ca/dogwood/?amp=1&csp_rewrite_state=ca
did you guys see any wild animal at campsite, bears?
No… just some really good looking birds 😊🤙🏽 We’ve seen some bears on other trips though haha 😁
Pour that bacon fat into the pan vs adding that butter. Or do both
Is wood gathering allowed?
I mean I would never go chopping any trees or healthy branches down or anything like that, but the dead little broken branches and twigs on the ground I think are fine to help start your fire with. It’s probably good to clean some of that stuff out of there anyway if you think about it, but we always buy our logs and bigger stuff at whatever site we are at if they sell it. 😊
Stop saying, you know
I’ll say whatever I please on my channel sir. 😎 Nobody is forcing you to watch. Hahaha when you talk on camera it’s very very difficult to not say stuff like that to keep things moving. Ummm. You know. Whatever it may be. You try your best but, we are human after all… you know? 😁🤙🏽
You two have camping skills. 🏕. I can smell the bacon 🥓 😋
u guys are driving 2 hrs. For 1 night atleast stay 2
Haha last minute trip. 😊 Place was all booked up. But 2 hours isn’t so bad really when you live in California 🤦🏻♂️😂
I live in Orange County. We drive 2 hours to get anywhere. Arrowhead is 2.5 hours for me.
Nice campground. But he's too controlling. Dude, just hell her how you like your coffee. Why bag on her about how she makes it. Geez.
Lol take it easy 🤦🏻♂️😃 It’s an inside joke with us that has been going on for years 😂😊
