This is a re-edit of a trip I did in November of 2023, directly after I quit my job. I shot it as three separate videos, but during the trip I recorded everything in between each camping location. This version includes never before seen content, so that you can watch the video as I experienced it. A six day road trip to three camping locations. Thank you all so much for watching. I hope you enjoy this trip as much as I did.

Welcome to the PNW, one of my MOST favorite wilderness areas period. Although the rain and chill can get to you especially in old age. You picked a late season hike, thats usually about the time red tomatoes start dropping of the vine, then frost hits and the remainder burst. The lurkers are rare but around, I've had one experience with one outside Clatscanie, OR. Shining headlights into pickup camper, lurking then pealing off spitting gravel on my truck. Hard not to shoot back, if you don't nip that behavoir in the bud they'll harrass somebody else as well. No brains, no life and way too much time on their hands. He may have been scouting your vehicle, looking for a solitary female or just playing stupid mind intimidation games. It always P.O.'s me but you don't want a confrontation unless you can back it up. Hate to say it, but you did the right thing. I always stealth camp anymore, have most my life. People can pass 15-20' away and not know you there, but a little distance is better. If you can hear or see your neighbors they're too close!👍 Forest maps of the areas make a big difference in your exploration and planning.

I think your problem with your red camp stove is that you set the burner down below those three bent out spots. The rim is supposed to set on those so you're a quarter inch lower than where you should be cuz you set it completely down onto the stump itself. Take it out and set it onto the three bent out partitions that hold it and if they if it falls through then you need to bend them in a little bit. The way you have it set up is for simmering.

@@CampingwithSamBananas Oh yeah Sam. You don't want to use anything other than denatured alcohol. You can use 91% rubbing alcohol, but then it's going to leave a film blackness onto your pot. You don't want that! Denatured alcohol burns very very clean. I'm glad you solved that dilemma.

I like Sam, the amount of commercials in his videos are absolutely brutal though.
