What an adventure! That's a great pro-tip on the bear-box. The day will come somewhere down the line when, for some reason, you won't be able to go and explore like you do. These moments are precious - treasure them!
Emily+Matt - The Mrs and I are in the ultralight teardrop market. I stumbled into your channel searching for Pika trailer owners videos. Y'all are giving us great content! I dig the scenery, views, your trademark cocktail segment and Matt's dorky humor. I find myself wishing your videos were longer, but understand the effort going into them. Any way y'all coulds do a video on trailer seasonal/maintenance/cleaning? Thanks for entertaining us and keep up the work! 👍👍 Ryan in VA
Hey Ryan! Thanks so much for the kind words and support! I tell ya what, if we didn't have full time jobs on top of UA-cam we'd be posting much more for our amazing subscribers. Maybe some day! Absolutely love the maintenance ideas, may actually be something in the pipeline soon 😉
Very cool experience. Thanks for sharing. Did you stay warm? What pot are you using? I like the handle and it looks to be the perfect size to hold stove and fuel.
We did! Got lucky in the weather 👌🏻 Pot is from gsi outdoors www.amazon.com/dp/B006ERT8WO/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_KHPCACYGKQ996AZA4WS6?linkCode=ml2&tag=whereswiseman-20
In February the wood is so wet it is possible to build a campfire but water boils at 212 degrees and doesn’t burn until it is over 450 degrees. So you have to boil all the water out of the wood until it will burn.
Raccoons are the problem not bears. Deer are also on the beaches. We have been backpacking the Olympic Coast since 1974. Good windscreen for your stove.
Those raccoons are unbelievable. We always try to tell people we use bear boxes not because of bears but raccoons. They are so used to people on the coast they have no fear. We’ve had a dozen in our camp at once and they don’t leave. I was soloing and using a bivy and I woke up with them walking on my bivy. Scared me to death. But that’s why we get out there. How would we know these things if we didn’t experience them first hand?
The coast has lots of dedicated camp sites depending on where you go. My friends and I like to through hike from Oil City to Third Beach. My favorite spot is Toleak Point. Best beach on the whole coast.
You two are Hilarious!
🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻

I just discovered you two a few days ago and have watched several videos. You guys rock! Love your camp cocktails!
Thanks, Erik! Cheers!
Im living for this!!! your hair is amazing!
Thanks! I know a guy who's bomb with blondes 😉
Wow, these shots are incredible! Lovely work!🔥🔥
Thanks so much!!
Great shots and nice choice of soundtrack, looks like washington is a great state for the outdoors
Thank you! It is indeed!
What a lovely overnight!
So lucky with the weather!
@@WheresWiseman it was pretty perfect especially this late in the year.
Good call on the bear box! Even if it isn't bear season! We had an encounter with a raccoon on the Oregon coast last month because we forgot one! 🤣
It was by far the largest trash panda we've ever seen!! Thought it was a cougar at first 😅😅😅
Ahh, it's an ammo can but he does have a bear gun in his backpack. 😉
😂😂😂 that would be a nice backup

Niiiiice!!!!
Looks like a scene out of the goonies... I was waiting for one eyed Willy's ship to float by... 😅
Ha! Right? Should've thrown in a little truffle shuffle 😂
Well it's settled... You have to go back and do it 😂
Looks fun. Is it just me, or did you. have an unusually sunny time to be mid- to late-August in the PNW?
Actually it was mid November. Very unusual 👍🏻
Fantastic! Was it hard to leave the teardrop behind?
Always hard, but knowing the weather report and location we were very pumped for this trip!

Also it's not too busy in the summer. 2nd beach is a lot busier because it's accessible.
Thanks for the info!
Agree!! Toleak Point is awesome!
Folks talked "highly" about those biscuits and gravy, but I was not a fan. Nice spot.
Honestly they're always a little crunchy in the middle but does the job 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Do you need to reserve a spot on the beach to be allowed to camp directly on the beach?
Nope! Just have to get a permit to camp there 👍🏻 Keep in mind, it may get pretty dang busy on the summer weekends
If you're cold, they're cold. Bring the dumpster puppies inside! 🦝😂
😂😂😂 that was by far the biggest raccoon I've ever seen lol. Wish I caught it on video!
What was your camp cocktail on this trip?
Just a wee bit of scotch 👌🏻
You have the best life! Don’t go messing it up by having kids! 😂😱
Ha!! Well, it's not always beautiful weather and amazing views but we do our best to make it happen as much as possible 🤘🏻
You have too much hanging off your packs. It is much easier to store it inside is much better!!
Agreed haha!
