That was a hard earned video. Well done keeping a positive attitude. I've found my winter camping trips to be 70% time spent processing wood and keeping a fire going. cheers.
Yes 100% I agree that the majority of time spent. Glad you liked it!
Glad I built up a playlist for my trip.
When traveling long distances, it's a must to watch survival when in that mode.

Life's a trip sometimes. Literally.
Better to get out of a toxic situation though, than stay in it.
**Early in the morning.**
Thanks for taking us camping & doing all the work; that mud was really something
When you’re melting snow, it’s good to start with water in the bottom of the pot. Keep adding snow to the water that you’ve already melted. It goes quicker.
Awesome video, Sam, so good! Now I've got, "what do you do with a drunken sailor......earl-lie in the morning" stuck in my head, lol. Very enjoyable video!
Hahaha it's been in my head ever since I edited the video 🤣 I can't get it out.
Anything that gets you off your ass is a productive day ! Trout opener here in Pennsylvania tomorrow ! Good good luck anglers 🎣
The food isn't burnt this time! A great adventure in bad weather again!!!
On the brink of WW3, an A.I. takeover, American Civil War 2, cats and dogs living together, arrives our Hero, Sam Bananas, with another outstanding video of life away from the B.S. 😎
10 hour shift, can't stay awake... Then you see Sam bananas on your feed 🥳🇬🇧
I don’t hot tent late in the winter with fresh snow. The ground is too warm and the melting snow just makes a mess. As you know that generally doesn’t happen when it’s dead of winter. The snow just melts and evaporates without mud. Good video, you are a trooper always putting in the work.
Love the closing hymn! One of my lifelong favorites from childhood at 69yo!
Koodos to you Sam! Not everyone would sleep in mud like you just did. All part of the fun I guess. Keep up the good work. Really enjoy watching your videos.
Solid video Sam! Best part of your videos are the learning curves! We’re all human and make mistakes you take something that can ruin a trip and make it a learning curve and stay positive! Always enjoy your videos thank you!
Good way to put winter to bed! Looking forward to warmer weather, fishing sounds great!!
Hi Sam. hot tents are great I'm sure but maybe you should have brought a tarp for the ground floor. Nice time buddy. 🙌👍👍👍
Nice to see ya buddy! I did have my poncho on the ground but it's hard to see.
Another great video. Hot tent camping looks so fun. To bad season is pretty much over. Definitely going to look into it for next winter
WOW! that camp meal idea/recipe I never considered... the pasta , with Alfredo & (SEPERATE) pack of bacon/bacon bits ... 😋 👍🏾.... SOOOO ANXIOUS to buy these & try them
Great outing, Sam! Looks like a lot of fun, even with the mud.
Yeah it really was! This is one of my absolute favorite camping spots
Canoe trips are so much fun, I hope the canoe meets your expectations and needs!
Great video Sam!!! The dinner looks delicious. Also liked the the moon night shot!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
Sam! Good to see this video, I was beginning to worry about you!!
Haha I'm not going anywhere my friend. Look forward to lots more videos from me.
Hey Hey Sam! Another great trip, loved the hot tent set up, thanks for taking us along. Wow, all the way to Chicago for a canoe, that is a heck of a road trip right out of the woods. Hi to Mrs. Bananas! Looking forward to the next one! 👍
love it. But slat is the worst next to freezing rain/wind. Thankfully you have a poncho. Love you positive expressions. TY for shearing.
Idea... lay down a tarp inside your tent. Set up stove.. draw a square around stove.. move stove.. cut out a square with a few inches of extra space. Now you have a floor and your stove is still on the ground.
Hey Sam bananas!!! Excited to watch just wanted to thank ya
Your a trooper brother water will clean up every thing. Thanks for the video, be safe on your trip
lesson learned stock up on firewood in one go and camp a bit further from the shoreline. great video
Endeavor to persevere. You just reminded me of a movie quote from The outlaw Josey Wales. Like your attitude brother, and love the videos !
Wow 👏🏼 gotta give you props Sam. This looked difficult and yet you made the best of it, like you always do! 🎉🎉 keep on keeping on Sam!! 🤙🤙
I am so jealous. I love reliving my camps while watching you do just about all the silly things I did. I wish I could do them again.
I get it bud. I'll be there someday myself. I'm happy I can bring you some enjoyment through these videos my friend.
I like the editing especially the musical interlude at the beginning good job😊
Awesome man, glad you liked it! I had audio problems so I had to cover it up. I was hoping people would like that.
Dude that song......Cameron found it on here months ago and forces me to play it ALL the time!! You can relate to the lyrics "Shave his belly with a rusty razor"🤣🤣🤣Loved this one!! We need to grab a beer soon!
Hahaha dude Randy! Ever since I used it in this video I can't stop hearing it in my head and I've been listening to sea shanties lately 🤣
Nice video showing things can happen but just keep on moving forward. Looking forward to the next one.
Great to see you video
Sam. Awesome.
Thanks Elirita! Always nice to see you. Hope you had fun on your trip
Thanks Sam for taking me along with you... I am sooo excited to see what is going to happen next... I thoroughly enjoy watching camping videos
Thanks for watching! I have some exciting announcements and trips coming up so please stay tuned!
@@CampingwithSamBananas You are welcome... I am looking forward to it
Another great outing! I think hot tent camping in the snow/rain is my absolute favorite kind of video to watch. The rain is even better, looking forward to some doozies coming up in April, hope you get a lot of rainy trips done. :D
Cheers!
Nice to see ya bud! Yes sir I've already got a rain one filmed. Editing that now and I might be able to get out in a BIG Thunder storm coming this week. Very excited for that
@@CampingwithSamBananas Great, stay safe. I feel like the tent is way better than your tarp setups for staying out of the elements. :) And that stove looks soooo toasty and cozy in there haha.
Nice one Sam looking forward to the new canoe adventures as yes I'm a bit behind have a lot of catching up to do 😉👍
Most of your trips make things look like so much fun. This one seemed like a lot of work and a lot of muddy, wet misery. Great video though!
Haha I always seem to find myself in a mess it feels like. But hey it's part of the adventure. Cheers!
Good job Sam. It's so hard to find time to get out and camp. Snow mud and rain just a few hurdles to deal with. Sometimes I'm happy to be on my couch and watching you deal with it instead of having all that clean up. Lol
Sam great content, you are always real and do uour best to make the situation work ..keep it coming
Thanks Sam, great adventure! Amazing how efficient a woodstove in a tent is. If you had been in a lean-to you would have used at least 10 x the wood and wouldn't have stayed near so warm (maybe less mud). Looking forward to the canoe trips.
I just had flashbacks to winter Boy Scout Camps and ROTC winter survival courses in high school. LOL
Dang, Sam. You must have slept like a log. It was morning, and you still had your headlamp on!!!:):)
Keep’em coming….love your videos!
Thanks brother! Yeah I sleep with the headlamp fairly often, especially if I'm worried about being able to find it in the morning.
Finally u have a proper tent
Love the video! Would love to see more 😁
Thanks man! I'll definitely be ok hot tent camping next year. Looking forward to it
Wow nice weather for camping Sam! 😂 But you like it, that is the most important thing. The woodstove looks like it is very comfortable. It is a wonderful world with all that snow. Irma from the Netherlands
Hi Irma! Yeah I love getting out in bad weather, it's super fun. Nice to see ya!
Great watch.. you earned your mud badge on this one. Very best 🍻
@@CampingwithSamBananas I don’t miss an episode. Always entertaining… and you’re only getting better at this stuff. Thanks for the extra work.. very best 🍻
Love the hot tenting videos with the tent and stove! The season is coming upon us now! I’m looking forward to getting out to do monthly hot tent camping here in Canada throughout the winter! Can we expect some hot tent camping videos throughout winter from you?
Yes sir! I'm planning to start making them again soon for sure.
Another epic video brotha. You and Kevin please keep them coming. Me and my buddy are planning a stealther in the spring. I live in Massachusetts. Never done it before I can't wait. Wasn't trying to do it alone seeing as how I do t have experience camping. Gonna try One on the side of a major busy highway here in mass. I got it scoped out! Thanks for the inspiration. You and Kevin gave me ideas.
Cooking wood ! love your videos . Looking forward to the next adventure
Good stuff Sam!
I am jealous, lol, you have used your hot tent more than I have this winter.
Like I said, we just did not have a good winter at all this year! Barely any snow whatsoever... But there's always next year to look forward to.
Thank you good sir!
Dude I had to drive both times to get snow, we didn't get much either. Thanks for watching and it's nice to see ya
@@CampingwithSamBananas Man that sucks! We live in the snow belt. Just doesn't seem right. But it doesn't stop you from getting out there and having fun man. I really do appreciate what you do...
It's inspirational! 😊
Throw em in the brig til he's sober ear in ye morn. Great video man!
Haha yes sir! I actually had audio issues there and that's why I had to do it. I didn't think it turned out too bad though.
If you add more snow to the already melted cup of water, the new snow will melt faster than having to start fresh. It's just a tip I picked up when I was younger if I needed more water than just a cup at a time
Chalk this up as a learning experience ! , your nylon jacket can be saved , look for a nylon patch kit or even duct tape and repair it , glad to see it snowed 👍 , look forward for the next video 👍🖖🙏🍻
Super interesting trip Sam. As wet as you got, I don’t know how you didn’t freeze even though you had the stove. Beer was conspicuously absent. Great video as usual.
Great video editing Sam. That's great you are getting a canoe. I used to have access to a canoe, but the last I heard it ended up getting swept out into the Gulf of Mexico along with the fence it was tied to (Hurricane Irma, Big Pine Key, FL).
Old Towne, baby! You should’ve bought the canoe first then you would’ve had a dry place to sleep in the hot tent ⛺️ 😂. Great times!
winter camping in the snow during the rain. lol.
Some adventures are a little more challenging than others. Prepping all that firewood kept you warm. Hope the canoe turns out to be what you were looking for.
Nice to see you Steve! You can look forward to lots of adventures with the canoe my friend.
Beautiful weather you’re having isn’t it. ? Another awesome video again mate, nice to see you out and about again. Say hello to Mrs Banana, good ,dependable same type as you or me,well done Sam , all the best john from Sheffield ,South Yorkshire , England , Great Britain
There is something beautiful about snow camping, I know it's cold, I know it's messy, but it's that survival thing as well. Keep the video's coming Sam. Take care.
Dude you're totally right. It's what makes it fun.
