Father and son get outdoors to explore Michigan and get better at outdoor skills.
We are not professional bushcraft experts (there are plenty of them on UA-cam) however we will be learning as we go. As Carson likes to say "becoming a pro as we go".
Follow along to watch our journey as we hope to inspire others to get outside and stop making excuses. We don't have to be professional or have all the expensive gear to just go outside and connect with nature.

Installing skid plates on Chevy Colorado.
Переглядів 7 тис.4 роки тому
It's time to think about what upgrades we need for this summer's adventures. Today we install some basic skid plates on my Chevy Colorado and discuss some potential upcoming upgrades. I ordered them on ShopChevyParts.com (no affiliation). Just a quick reminder. These do not cover the transmission and the transfer case shield isn't that great. Better than nothing though: 23282726 - Transfer Case...
No Excuses Hiking

Time to get back on the trail... No excuses. Sometimes we think hiking has to be a big adventure and travel to far away places. Stop with those lame excuses and find a small area to get outside. Watch along as we did just that during our Super Bowl Sunday. #Michigan #Hiking #Familytime #Optoutside

Finding Camp In Michigan
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
Starting off camping can be confusing. I hope to clarify some confusion on where you can and can't camp especially when disperse camping. Please always do you own research. This isn't a list of all laws and is how I have interpreted them. Links to the sites I use to find land: midnr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ffe1b197f0754606b8f62493a28f08ac www.mcgi.state.mi.us/mi-hunt/#ac...

Big Stone Cabin Wilderness State Park

What you should know series. As we start our channel we want to cover things you should know about places we visit. Today we walk through the Big Stone Rustic Cabin at Wilderness State Park in Michigan.
Nice video. Beautiful river. 💙
I appreciate the “keys” scenario…. It is so easy to be disoriented in the woods… because it all looks the same. We’ve all done similar things! Looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing!
Put a set of keys in a empty pill bottle tape it up with duct tape and use Paul wire or coat hanger wire it to the wheel well unseen from someone else. Or wired to the frame of the vehicle.
Nice father & son trip. Michigan is The Best...esp. since dispersed camping came about!
I bet with that metal detector you found a few of the old fashioned pull tabs from beer and soda cans from the 60s and 70s! Lol
What size socket for the bolts on the plastic skid?
French press is what you want. It makes the best coffee. It also doesnt take up any more space than your percolator. I can't wait to get out for a camping trip. I need it mentally. I live just on the edge of the Manistee National Forest and hope to take a camping trip soon with just a couple of 40 year old quads.
I had a french press. A drip is much easier to clean.
@@diann546 Cleaning is the worst part about them, but they sure do make a great cup of coffee.
where in michigan is this? either I missed it or you didn't tell us? lol I probley missed it
We’re is that spot or just a area ur in like what county or road or closest town,i need to find a better spot for me and my boy
I have been watching several videos about van camping. Usually they are in quartsite Arizona or other parts of the desert. Occasionaly they are in Florida, California or out east. I was so excited to find a Michigan tour. I live in Wisconsin but got to go to Michigan a couple of summers ago with my daughter. Definitely a trip of a lifetime. Are you from Michigan
Thanks for all the good information. Do any of these sites or apps charge a fee
Nice rustic looking Dietz little wizard & keep the lantern as is! 🙂 Yes collecting lanterns is fun & I started my collection with a couple of Adlake lanterns & now have a quite a few lanterns! Including an old Embury traffic gard lantern & also a Dietz sport lantern that works fantastic too!👍👍
I have one. I got it all set up for my Eskimo ice house. Just waiting for the hot tent jack to go outside. Ps. No wick.
It was part of every troop campout to police the area after camping and before leaving.
2 yrs after you posted but I’d say because it’s an old American made lantern then it’s worth preserving as best you can. If it were mine I’d wash with soap water then bath it in white vinegar for a day and scrub off the rust with wire wool. I’d then wash it well with wd 40 finally I’d rub some oil on it to protect from further rusting. It will then be a hand down to the next generation. If you just leave as is then it’s unlikely to be around for the next generation to enjoy.
Need to throw a bushing to go around that bolt to keep them washers farther apart from the spool but im sure youve figured that out by now! I cant wait for the ice!!!
I take my cards with me when I leave. I talked to green jeans about it once and I brought up your exact points. He agreed haha.
I like your thought process…what do I really need? I just got a 2019, looking at skids. Like you, not rock crawling but I do go out to the West Texas Big Bend desert area…How are your’s holding up? Did you come up with a solution for the transmission ? Great to see the kids involved !
Yup. Them old Lanterns kinda get ya hooked 👍🇺🇸
Great Video, thanks for sharing! Maybe I missed it but what River were you on?
It's not the spot where you have a fire that matters, it does a little but a rock fire ring can prevent most of that, what you need to worry about is the embers that float up an get carried off to another spot that's what starts fires more than anything
If no funnel, you can put screwdriver in the fount and pour your fuel slowly against the screwdriver shaft and it will follow the shaft down and into the fount. The ideal situation would be the screwdriver not resting against the fuel port because the fuel may leak onto the outside of the fount.
As a former Girl Scout, I hear your pain on the garbage left behind from inconsiderate campers. Thank you for sharing your experience - truly appreciated the information. Curremt Michigan resident (all my life) - ;love that you live here, too!
Nice video. I do a little off-roading, but I'm more worried about catalytic converter thieves than I am about branches in my oil pan. Did you notice if the plates you installed block easy access to the cats?
*Update* I found the date stamp as suggested by the comments. The lantern is dated 1943. Pretty cool.
Dickenson Marine as the barometric flue damper that is used with these stoves. It takes the 3 Inch version.
have two of these, there are no wicks used in them. You do however need the automatic draft control section that goes in the stove pipe for it to work properly. The put out a lot of heat quickly and are great little stoves.
Wanna sell one? I might be interested if you are... Thanks!
I have the NuWay "Mighty MIte" -it's ancient, I'm guessing it's probably about 75 years old, and still works great. Just uses a small fuel reservoir and tiny fuel orifice. Fuel is pulled in by the draft from the chimney. The only moving part is the needle valve for the fuel. Divied burn chamber, 2nd chamber under the chimney introduces fresh air for a secondary burn, once it's going there's no soot or smoke and barely any smell at all, no smell whatsoever inside the shack. I've used only pump diesel in it, right now using red fuel oil diesel and it loves it. Sure is cheaper than K1 kerosene!
@@econoroller There is one on Marketplace now for $45.00.
@@d.foster1317really! thanks! marketplace where? can you pm me a link?
I love your lantern just the way it is. I collect old lanterns and have about 8 or 10 of them they bring back memories of former days. Love the information and history of the dietz lantern--great video!
I saw you making your coffee, I'm also a camper, What I do a few days before going camping I get coffee filters (dollar store ) put coffee in a filter, and tie it up with dental floss (no scent). all you have to is boil your water and throw the filter in the water, just like a tea bag, can use them over. I made enough to get me thru the trip works great
A Great Shame that these fine old lanterns are now cheaply made in CHINA Crap!
That is a "cold blast" lantern. Therefore it does not recycle the burnt hot air... It takes in fresh air at top and draws it to bottom for burning.

I got it now!! :) Thanks for watching

Love this video. Your little dude is just awesome. Very smart little guy. Thanks for making the videos that you have. We are in Wisconsin but Michigan sure is intriguing.
All the stuff we love doing, great video!
I have one of those that has never been used. It still has the paper work wire tied on it. Price tag and t pipe with dampener . Very cool..
I enjoyed watching your camp out.
Your lantern doesn't have much collectors value, eBay will tell you that much. Beyond that the glass globe has been replaced. The original would be worth something. I would feel free to paint it whatever way you want. Usually people wipe them down with lacquer thinner lightly sand them and then hit them with engine block paint which can be bought in most colors at an auto parts store. When you lift the lantern you have the wick adjusted way too high you have to be careful with that. Introducing heat too quickly will crack the glass globe. So let it warm up with a very low flame. Beyond that you need to trim your wick. You can trim it like an arrow which resembles the pointed roof of a house, or you can trim it like a snake's tongue which would be the reverse. Both will produce more light than a standard flat wick. That is an older detail lantern made before 1956, because it was built in New York city. It's a very common type of lantern, but very usable. If you plan on burning indoors use liquid paraffin, it will mostly just smell like a candle burning. Outdoors use kerosene or anything along those lines diesel fuel works fine too but has a little more odor. I usually burn mine outside on my porch or take them with me fishing at night. And I like to put citronella oil in it because it might keep bugs away. All in all they are a very safe and good lamp. Smart for anyone to keep a few of these in the garage nice and dry for emergencies. The new ones that you can buy today are not nearly as good as the old ones like yours. Highway departments all over the United States used these for many years, so did the railroad. You see them at auctions and things. Railroad lanterns had larger oil tanks on them to burn longer when left alone, I believe deets called them storm lanterns. The ones used by highway departments were referred to as smudge pots because they replaced the original smudge pot. Many of these have the state and local that they were used in, pressed right into the steel. That always adds some value. For lanterns like that to have stuck around this long, means they were kept in a nice dry place. Make sure you do the same. Basements aren't good for lanterns. They will never throw as much light as a mantle lantern. But deitz lanterns can be used indefinitely. I recommend cleaning it up well, and painting it.
Awesome video
Thank you for this, and your sons have a career in broadcasting!!:)
in this video where is it at . looks like a great place for peace and quite
Use bear spray it's really effective for animals in camp
just left your video with Carson and your buddy. figured its a good time to subscribe. I've gone across the country a half dozen times with my buddy camping on the way. However, he sold his motorcycle and bought a 26' "camping " trailer. He likes "clamping", So, I'm on my own. I've always liked dispersed camping and will start this spring with a new tent and my new plain jane jeep. I'm going to confine myself to Michigan this year, being a Michigander. your videos are informative, Thanks!
rule of thumb : 1rounded tablespoon per cup
yup that was dumb
I'm with you: no trace camping is the onlyway to go. carson just got a thumbs up and i understand light sleep nights... its usually animals that keep me reawakening
It's only new once..evaporust, or electrolysis, get the rust under control, or it will start to leak. Fix the dents, maybe a light coat of spar varnish, if you like the bare metal look. No reason not to fix it so it works as intended.
Restore it. Pass it down. Take your time. Get the spring and assembly working slick. If it had an original globe I could be persuaded to leave as is.
