Solo Cabin Trip Memorial Day 2020

- Back at to Bataan! No wait the Cabin for a solo run for Memorial Day 2020 weekend.
As like last year I made this a salute to the US Armed Services while I was there with food, movies, tobacco selection, beverages, and a tribute with some pictures of active Service Members and Retired.
First afternoon was getting the, I guess you can call it the kitchen counter expanded and cleaned up. Brought up a new Camp Chef Mt. Rainer combo camp stove, with a burner on one side and a griddle on the other. Got that put in place before a little surprise dinner for a MRE. Brought three of them up for my dinner meals. The first was BBQ shredded beef. Pretty good tasting if I say so myself
Movie time with the new Midway movie , thought it was a pretty good movie that focused on some particular characters, unlike the 1976 version that was more of a docudrama.
Saturday it rained off and on all day long, but was able to get a spot ready for a new propane tank. We are getting rid of the 20lb tanks and having a larger one installed that will be refilled by WOC Energy. This entailed removing an old stump and moving about 10 or so wheelbarrows full of stone to level out a spot next to the cabin.
Time for MRE of pasta in a taco sauce, another pretty good tasting dinner, complete with the water activated heat pack to warm it up.
After dinner it was time for another movie, this time 1917 was on tap. Very interesting and engaging, done in pretty much one single motion shot.
Sunday was spent staining the generator shed with a nice cinnamon color stain. Turned out better than I thought it wood, really looks good there.
After dinner it was time to sit by the fire pit and do a little reflecting of some important people that have passed on.
Most of all a Thank You to our brave man and woman of the US Armed Services. And praying for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our great Nation.
Amen Brother.
Great video as always, nice tribute to our brave men and women of the armed forces, past and present. I still believe EVERYDAY should be MEMORIAL DAY, not just the last Monday of May
Thank you Mick, I know Veterans Day is in October, and this may be a little more fitting for that. But as you said I did want to take the time to salute them, and let them know that people are thinking about them.
Very good and relaxing video, with a terrific ending. I was in RVN during the 68 Tet Offensive, U.S. Army 1st. Sig. Bde.,we had WW11 C-Rations, with the stamp of "packed in 1943-44", on the bottom. Yes there was four or five Lucky Strikes, being a non smoker at that time I traded those for more toilet paper. In the box they gave us 4-6 squares of toilet paper and on occasion, we needed more than that. Like you, I'm retired from Verizon but the GTE side. Thanks again for a great video.
Thank you for your service there, the Tet must have been a disturbing time to say the least. You're the second person to mention the C-rations, must have been a leap of faith to open a 20+ year old can up. Met a lot of good people from GTE from Texas and California.
I found this channel while looking for hunting camp videos. I'm a sportsman from Wisconsin that likes everything outdoors. I love all or your past videos, especially deer camp videos. It reminds me of my deer camp in northern Wisconsin. To me, the greatest time of year is when we all gather in deer camp and pick up right where we left off the year before. I enjoy hunting too, but the days of "intense fellowship" (that's how we describe camp life to our wives) are the best! We have lost members of deer camp through the years, but those guys live on each year when we are together and the stories start. Occasionally, those stories end up with tears, some from laughter and some from missing them.
As said by a previous subscriber, I also have never commented on a UA-cam video before, but the sincere respect and moving tributes in this video have inspired me to do so. What an awesome idea for the Military theme through the trip that pays tribute the armed forces! Thank you for the reminders of what generations before us went through and all current service members do, to make this country great. I love your videos and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the very kind words Martin. Have a few people that I've emailed with from Wisconsin, seems like we share a common bond. Will see what happens this year with all the things going on, but hopefully we will again find ourselves in the woods in the Fall enjoying the outdoors and good friends.
Have done the Memorial Day Salute a few times now and really enjoy them. The upmost respect to all those that have Served, are Serving now, or have given the ultimate sacrifice for our great County.
Take care and good luck this year.
Always loved over the years your respect for Senior and Veterans. Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you Reed, one of these days I'm afraid I'm going to run out of stories. Trying to get some more pictures to add in some videos.
Always a Pleasure watching your Material!!
Thank you!
As always a great video, but I was chopping onions at the end :)
My father served in the Navy and was injured (blown down by jet blast) during the first jet scramble at Gulf of Tonkin off "Tico", USS Ticonderoga. The next day he was flown to the "Big Dick" USS Bon Homme Richard just in time for the second jet scramble and all the nonsense that went on out there.
History class was "disrupted" when the Vietnam War was being discussed when I disputed what really happened thanks to Dad's service. Turns out my teacher was there at the same time.
All gave some, some gave all. Thank you to ALL our service people!
The ending just kind of happened, wasn't planned ahead of time. I think made it a bit more special. As you said, thank you to our Service men and women. Thanks to your Dad for his Service and sacrifices that he made there.
Pleasant surprise . One of best Memorial Day Tributes. Music perfect. Nothing like remembering. This is real Cabin Fever. God Bless
America . Thanks Again
Thank you very much for the kind words Micheal. Really enjoyed doing it. I know the weekend is to remember the fallen Hero's, but also like to take the time to honor all of our Service members Active and Retired.
I like the b29 super fortress
Excellent as always, Rook. Speaking for all veterans if I may it was a pleasure to have served our great country and I sincerely hope that future generations of Americans continue to remember the sacrifices, great and small, that were made on behalf of the nation. Thank you for taking the time to honor and remember.
Thank you for your Service. Just my way of saying showing my appreciation to all. Also to educate some on what an 18 or 19 year old had to endure then and now.
Great tribute Thomas. Loved seeing everyone’s pictures. Some real heroes displayed- especially our Dads..
Could not agree more. Sometime you have to find some more pics.
whiterook85 will do, booger and my sister have a ton..
Subscribed! Another great video, always look forward to watching them.
Thank you very much and welcome.
You got me at the end there, Tom. Great weekend and memorial and remembrance of our servicemen and women, both past and present. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Kind of got myself there too.
God bless your Family and your Dad sir,our Dad's.I learned some more ,your Dad hero. Ok done with my notes til your summer film extravaganza,night sir.
Thank you Vernon!
Tom great video nice of you to thank all veterans who served my son is serving in the army in Fort Hood Texas he watched your video told me he and is fellow service men loved it God bless stay safe Jack
Thank you very much Jack. Tell your son and is buddies thank you for their service and glad they liked it.
Tom thanks for sharing another enjoyable video. Awesome tribute to the men and women who all gave some and those who gave all so that we may enjoy our freedom. I wish you and yours well.
Thank you kindly, getting to be one of my favorites to do.
Very nice job. Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
LOL can tell a guy from PA bc we always say “I gotta guy..” keep up the good videos. Enjoy watching them!
Thanks! Will do!
Touching video. Thank you for all your support of our veterans. I have been deployed as a soldier and am still deployed as a contractor. Just knowing that people care is an awesome feeling and is appreciated! Thank you so much and please continue with your videos because I watch them all!
Thank you so much, means a lot to know that someone far away knows people back home are thinking about them. Wish that wasn't lost for so long in this Country. Will be back up again for some shenanigans.
One of my favorites so far great video
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to watch the next cabin trip. Always a pleasure.
Glad you enjoyed it, will see when the next one is.
Just found your channel bud. I love it and have been binge watching the videos. I notice you wear legendary whitetail clothing. My brother and law and I used to work there down in Wisconsin. The company went under unfortunately. So most of the clothing you have will not be found anywhere now! Keep up the great work. Love the videos.
Thanks for the complements. Too bad about Legendary, liked their stuff for years now, even have the buck tattooed on my arm, have a closet full of stuff. I still get emails from them.
Having enjoyed another thoughtful video, words cannot even begin to fully express the gratitude & sincerity that surely follows in all of our comments. Tom - beautiful tribute, emotional ending and unquestionably the perfect example of what makes your channel and the YT community so great.
Kris thanks so much for the kind words, they mean a lot to me. A tribute to all the men and women that are or have been in the Service, and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our Country.
Needed to hop over to the lap-top to comment and say thanks. Enjoy the tidbits of history along with your narrative and crafts and hobbies. ATB Duncan
Thank you for taking the time to do that. Really enjoyed putting that together.
I love all your cabin videos. This was a much needed upload. Tired to being locked down! 🍻🍺
Thanks! I know what you mean, I keep thinking I'm going to get stopped an asked why I'm in PA. Enough!
@@whiterook85 I ask myself the same question, why am I'm in PA LOL! (I live here...)
Another great video! Thanks for giving us all a taste of the hunting cabin feel year round.
More things to do there, should be back again in a bit.
Great stuff. Thanks for posting. 🇺🇸
Thank you very much!
Great way to spend the weekend!
Sure was Greg!
I have been waiting for this cabin video since I watched the spring trip,once again Tom as always another great video and by the way you got choked up at the end you can tell Junior meant alot to ya.Thanks again for sharing I really enjoyed kicking back in the easy chair and watching as always be safe my friend
Thank you John, I did sit there a while in thought. Will be back again, have to figure something for the lamp we moved away from the TV. Need to wander around in Lowes or Home Depot for a few hours.
My father served in the Navy during WWII as a photographer. He was assigned to photograph the Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri. The picture you showed in this video is one of the many pictures he took that day. When he passed away many years ago my mother gave me a box full of pictures he took during his service. A prized possession of mine. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a day that must have been to receive all of those memorable photographs. I can image how valuable they are to you as a remembrance of your Dad, and for the country also. Be proud!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and family history with us Tom . I thoroughly enjoyed this video . I have family members who served and I too lost my father . I use dad’s fishing rods often in the same river and same spots where we spent so much time together. I can definitely relate to your feelings of sentiment. Thanks again . Stay safe.
Thanks Andy, I'm sure when you at that spot with the rod in the water a lot of good memories of your Father flood in. Keep going back! Take care and keep the family and yourself safe!
Awesome video Rook! Thanks for sharing your solo trip with us.
Sure thing, was a great weekend. Your food my have been better though 😋.
Rook, well done sir! 👏👏 Very well done!
Thank you Brad!
Very nice video, mentioning veterans ,my dad &father in law were both veterans as always enjoy your videos, be safe
Thanks Jeff, don't think people realize the sacrifices that some made for our freedoms. Maybe in some small way this may help.
Very good video Tom, I lost my about 1/1/2 yrs ago , he was a world war2 veteran I have lot memory's of him are best times where bear an deer camp
Sorry for your loss Ron, those memories will keep him in your thoughts for a long time to come.
Great share Rook....The chair thing at the end was amazing. You surely were not alone as you enjoyed your fire buddy.
Thank you so much, was just a culmination to that weekend. I sat there a lot longer than I thought I would.
Thumb up and thank you for sharing. Have a good one.
Thanks for the thumb Victor, glad you liked it.
That’s my evening escape sorted for today! Couple beers and a cabin video. Thanks and greetings from 🇮🇪
Thanks John, hope you enjoy there.
whiterook85 it will have to wait for tomorrow I got stuck working on my own man cave tonight, a bar in my garage. But the good news is that work I did tonight means I can watch UA-cam videos from the high stool sinking a cold one. I’m looking forward to it
Hopefully it will be worth the wait!
do you use OnX Maps?
great video as always Tom you got me at the end of the video
Thanks James, it wasn't planned really, just talked from the heart. Sat there quite a while thinking afterwards.
Good stuff !
thank you!
Top notch my friend, the cabin is looking great. Time to get some buddy's up there i hope soon. I think we all have holed up long enough!
Thanks Robert, will see what I can do!
Thanks you and i are alot alike
You're Welcome!
Very nice...Mr. 77!
Thank you kindly
Waited till the evening to be able to watch this one. Glad I did. Really enjoyed the Memorial Day theme...always do. Glad to see you guys are moving to a fuller gas tank. I did last year and its great. Sorry I couldn’t get a picture of Dad for you in time for the shout out but I was at camp and the pic I’d want to send was at home. You really got me at the end. Raw emotions. I can always tell how much seniors friendship meant to you whenever you talk about him, combined with sitting in that chair with the two empty beside you...wow! Thanks again for putting this together Tom. You’ll get the rest of the staining done next time up. The generator surround looks great!
Thanks Tim, the end was not planned, just kind of happened. But as you said, you could tell what they both meant to me. I've had to repair that chair over the years more than once, but it is going to get a restoration on a trip up there. Think we have to do a couple of the chairs around the fire pit with that same color, and a couple in the cabin dark red. Think that would look pretty good.
Thanks for sharing.
Was my pleasure to do it.
Just found you guys. Glad I did!
Thanks Robert, welcome aboard!
Good Stuff Man 👍👍
Appreciate it! Stay safe James.
Thanks for the video Tom. As I watched the ending I felt some of the emptiness you were feeling. I lost one of my true camp buddies last year at the young age of 48. I'm sure SR is looking down smiling about how you have continued his dream. Stay safe and god bless
Thanks Brian, Sr. was like a brother to me, told him many times. He would be laughing at some of our antics, but glad we are still there having a great time.
3 days of MRE is rough. better drink a lot or you will be locked up tighter than a nuns legs. that is a nice fire pit the boys built. looks like a nice relaxing weekend. godspeed
Oh yeah, was drinking a lot just cause I was hauling stone and painting. No issues...
@@whiterook85 in desert storm my favorite MRE was ham slices. good packet there
Going back to look to see if they have any others. Thanks for the info!
I'm so old the Army was still issuing C Rats when I first entered service in 1980 (hell, on one training deployment to Camp Shelby, Mississippi in '81 we were issued late World War II-Korean War vintage K Rats with seriously dried out Lucky Strike cigs included). Due to our frequent, and often "extended training deployments" we ate a LOT of C Rats....There was so much iron in the damn things I'm pretty sure we could have set off metal detectors in civilian airports due to the contents of our digestive tracts....And yeah....WE tended to stay "locked up" for days....
You are a great person for doing the tribute to our troops past and present. My dad and uncle were in the army. My son is wanting to go in to the air force after he graduates Highschool next year.
Thanks Mark, kind words. If you son does go in the Air-force, who knows he may end up being stationed in Dover.
I watched the other night a video of the last two flying B'-29's. I am military history buff as well, there is a mini series on the carrier Enterprise. Great video, happy Friday, take care ,bug free. Let's 🙏 this flu be gone by Autumn.
Sounds like a couple things to check out. I think we all want this madness over asap! Thanks Vernon.
I like the panther for its mobility over the slow Tiger.
I do like the main gun on the Panther.
@@whiterook85 I think the panther might be able to harvest a deer or two.
Very good video Tom, thank you. I lost a great uncle who was in the Navy in Iron Bottom Sound in ‘42. Never met him but think about quite often. Your channel along with J C ( Boss of the Swamp) videos I’ve been subscribed to for quite a while. Thanks again and God Bless. See you on the next one.
That area around Guadalcanal must have been a nightmare for all involved. Heavy losses on both sides. I'm sure he was an ordinary man forced into an extraordinary situation like most were then. As long as you remember he will not be forgotten.
God bless all our veterans from all the wars and nations, their lives on the line.🙏 the families.
May your dad and Senior rest in peace. They're there, relaxing in their chairs by the fire, enjoying a cigar and a beer with you.
Thank you sir!
I was all set to come on here and make fun of another solo video....and then you went dramatic on me at the end. Bravo.
It happens.
Same cook!!!
If he only cooks at 500, yes!
Be prepared for beef stew in a Dutch oven in the fall!
Camp Cook love Dutch ovens!!!
Another Great video Tom! Keep up the awesome work! Would Love to see some king of summer cabin fishing trip with the guys!. Stay safe!
Thanks, if we can get it done with this current madness we will do it.
I wanted to make sure i had not told you a fib about the tiger at Aberdeen proving ground. It has been a few years since i had been. I did some research and found that it has been moved to Fort Benning Georgia for a complete restoration. It will be displayed there when complete. Thets still hundreds of tanks and artillery, and one of the finest collections of military small arms in the world.
Thanks for checking, still sounds like a spot to check out.
Great video, thank you for the tribute to veterans of all conflicts. I am a Vietnam veteran and can relate to Sr’s homecoming experience. Thankfully that has changed for the current returning veterans. By the way, MRE’s weren’t used in Vietnam that I am aware of, all we ever had were C-rats and they came with the cigarettes.
Thank you for your Service. Glad people are also finally realizing the sacrificing you and the rest of the men and women made over there. Thank you again Philip!
Mres are good stuff
I enjoyed them, been looking for more.
whiterook85 they are insanely over priced now due to the panic.
😊
Thanks for the history lessons, love it! Say hello to Chairman for me.
Will do!
Scotty what’s up buddy!!!
@@thechairman7276 not a whole lot, just working and staying covid free!
Scot Zimmerman I’m doing the exact same bro.. We’re considered essential all of Verizon is... hope all is well
@@thechairman7276 glad your still working, I'm essential as well, construction ( we have a cabinet shop) Stay healthy my friend!
I enjoy your “holiday themed “ videos as your other videos also. Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸🍺
Thanks RD, was a good weekend there.
Great history review you always do a great job lost my good friend in nam
Thanks Gregory, have always been interested in History and Military History. Unfortunately it seems to be lost on some these days. They don't realize the Service and Sacrifice that soldiers (men and women) made for them. May your good friend rest in peace.
Yes, "we" will enjoy . Double IPA over here. :)
They go down easy, maybe too easy. Sat around that fire for a while.
This is very true. I hold a two limit per sitting. Want to be responsible.
I've been looking forward to this all week!
Hope you enjoy, or already enjoyed.
Try using powder deer cane it works,the liquid kind did not work at all for me but the powder was awesome!
This was a wonderful tribute video! Thank you, thank you! I learned a lot! Very special memories, tender thoughts! Thank you!
Thank you Elizabeth, getting to be one of my favorite videos to do.
In Hamilton Ontario they have the Lancaster Bomber . One of 2 that are still flying today . I love watching that plane flying over the city . It is very loud . You would not believe the reaction of the people when it flies over the stadium for a game . It also has a few escort planes that fly with it . Can't imagine how a thousand planes like this flying over at one time would look and sound like going for a bombing run . My dad who was a forced labourer during the war said they hide in large culverts when these planes flew over .
Would like to see that, quiet a spectacle I'm sure. Can't even imagine 1000 with 4 contrails each from them. Saw short shot of that in Fury, "Go get them boys!" Glad your Dad made it out of the war OK. Most don't like to talk about it.
Just Watched on UA-cam (How the Navy Won The Battle of Midway).This actual account documentary of what happened. A Must Watch.
Thank you Micheal, will have to check that one out.
Awesome content. Wish I had a cigar right now!
They were all pretty good this time around. The Camacho was very enjoyable. Thanks!
Beautiful video Tom,
Learned a lot and I don’t think there could be a more fitting video for a Memorial Day weekend.
Great cigars and libations. I envy yours country’s patriotic ways.
Well done sir.
Regards
Mark
Thanks Mark, was a good 3 days of some work, and honoring our Hero's. Glad we call them that now!
I love watching your videos. I’ve been hooked on yours and sintax77 videos. I keep them in constant rotation since quarantine started. I was glad to see a blue dot by your icon today! In the video you mentioned a liquor from scissor tail distillery in Moore OK. did you pick it up yourself in Oklahoma? I’m from here and just wondering if you got to visit our great state lol. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you for watching our videos. I know we both put some time into them. I found that in Middletown Delaware when I was up that way. Got that a few months ago and put it away for that weekend.
whiterook85 ahh ok. Way cool. Again thanks for the videos. The laughs I get from your deer camp videos brighten my day.
My father was on LST 666 in WW2. I had a hard time believing the US Navy would use those #s but they did.
Must have seen a lot of action Island hopping. Looks like a Kindle book out there on her, Sea Devil: USS LST-666.
Great video as always....we have the off grid generator by generac it runs our wholr cabin hot water heater, well, etc. Should really look into that they have great financing on them and run off of propane also not load at all.....we got ours for around $3,300 12 month financing we already had 500 gallon propane tank that is required but it sure beats the hell out of getting regular gas for a loud generator....
So far so good with the generators we have, would like to quiet things down a bit and can still do the double wall inside the enclosure. Not sure it we are there enough to go that far, and with the rules in PA we can't have an indoor shower without upgrading our waste water handling situation.
Another great video. Keep em up Whiterook85
Always!
Just curious, do you guys have a fire extinguisher at the cabin? Worth their weight in gold.
Yes we have one right near the front door. Another one is getting installed shortly.
cant figure out how to send service pic?
Sorry Ed, the video as you know is already out. Send me a DM on Twitter and I will save it for next time.
And Thank you for your Service to this Country !
As always great video I really like watching them. You've got a really nice looking cabin.
Thanks John, Sr did 99% of the work there on, I've been trying to keep it going strong.
wish they would let us have a pig for propane at are camp, but i quess the 2 hundred tanks will have to do. propane company said we don't use enough to get a pig. love the coffee pot we got same one at are camp works great
The 100 should do us fine, we still use the wood stove to keep things toasty most of the time.
Rook, thanks so much for the videos. This is my new go to video for Memorial Day. I used to go to the Gary Sinise, Joe Mantegna celebration on the Washington mall with the Marine Corps band. Unfortunately, that show has degraded into the Grammy Awards with little patriotism. Not a lot of veterans producing that show.
Can't wait until the next video. As a note, my father volunteered for the Navy in WWII when he was 17 and needed his parents signature. He was in a destroyer group in the north atlantic. My uncle was with Patton in north africa and ended up in the arden forest in the battle of the bulge. They all came home. The greatest generation. Thanks.
You are right about the Greatest Generation, you may want to look for the movie Greyhound that is out, or coming out shortly if you haven't heard about it yet. Destroyers covering convoys in the Atlantic from the wolf pack U boats.
Had an Uncle that was in the Battle of the Bulge, I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to talk to him about his experiences there.
We do have to give credit to the all volunteer force of today that has spent a long time in the Middle East.
Thank you Andrezej.
Is your primary heat wood? How much do you use that small buddy heater?
The primary heat source it the Shenandoah wood stove, but we use the buddy in the morning when the stove goes out, or just to take the chill off when it's not too cold out.
🇺🇸 Great Video Whiterook85!! Hope you and the Boys are doing well ..Have you guys thought about solar? Or even a Solar Battery Bank you could charge off the generator and panels . that way you dont have to run it all the time.🍻
We talked about solar, not ready to commit to it yet. This electric mower I have is giving me fits, so no rush. Have to get some of those Elon Musk batteries. The guys are all doing well. Keep an eye out for the Chairman, you never know when we will be climbing a pole in your area.
Haha Your right about that there always out here working on the wires..I hear ya about the solar can be pricey!
Why not just pick up an actual kitchen stove that runs on propane. If you watch yard sales you can find a good used one for under a hundred bucks. We’ve had one in our PA hunting camps for over 20 years. It’s a great convenience. We also have a small used propane furnace to heat the camp and never looked back. Keep up the great content!!!
Thanks for the info Bill, we like cooking outside on the grill and smoker. But that would be convenient. Looking forward to getting rid of the grill tanks.
Sweeettt.. .
Thanks Harvey.
Pretty hard going from tomahawk steaks to MRE!
How true, but glad I tried them.
I don't think I've ever commented on a UA-cam video before, but I wanted to say what a nice and genuine man whiterook85 seems to be. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you Hunter, I appreciate it. Was a heart felt video for sure.
Another great video, it's very good to remember the armed forces and give those men and women the respect they deserve. We owe the most to those who gave their lives. My grandfather was in D-day and earned a purple heart. And my grandmother's brother built bombers during WWII.
Ordinary men called on to do extraordinary duty, and did it unflinchingly. Thanks Andrew, hope everything is well there.
It does not run, but there is one at the field museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground, in Aberdeen Md. a Tiger.
Thanks for the info, may have to head over one day when this madness ends.
i put in 2 one hundred gallon tanks last year. Suburban propane treated me pretty well. They own the tanks, I buy the propane
One 100 gallon should do us just fine for what we need. Looking forward to getting rid of those 20lb grill tanks.
@@whiterook85 I'm cheap! I put in 2 so I could load up on propane when the price is low.
Maybe next Memorial Day....Or maybe even around Pearl Harbor Day this year you should, if you can find a copy on DVD/Blue Ray, give a John Wayne movie a try. "In Harms Way". It may not be "historically" or even "politically" correct but it's a pretty good movie anyway.
I did have "In Harms Way" last year, mentioned that John Wayne seems a bit more vulnerable in that movie maybe because he had cancer at the time. Good movie, one of my favorites.
@@whiterook85 Thanks for your kind reply. I watched last year's video....And apparently promptly forgot that you watched "In Harms Way" during that trip to what I think of as "The Hunting Lodge". I can honestly say that I saw, for the first time, "In Harms Way" at a theater in my home town during it's theatrical release...But then the same applies to "Sink The Bismarck" a number of years earlier....Yeah, I'm that damn old....
Rook have your every been to the Patterson Air Force museum in Dayton ohio
No, haven't made it out that way.
@@whiterook85 it’s worth the trip if you ever get the chance
Hey Rook! I was up there this weekend as well. We have propane tank too, who are you using for fill ups? We drag that think to get filled but that is getting old
Didn't like the sun, clouds, rain, sun clouds, rain, but was a great weekend never the less. We have been doing the exchange of the 20lb grill tanks, so it gets very old as you said. Working with WOC Energy right now to swap over. Never found a place that fills them besides down in Morris. Give Scott a call there. Tell them Tom sent you.
@@whiterook85 what size tank are you guys getting ?
100 gallon.
@@whiterook85 any minimum usage required ?
@@whiterook85 btw the weather up there this weekend was awesome !
Haha I thought u were joking about the MRE I was waiting for u to break out a fat steak LoL !!!
I managed to make it through the weekend with them. Did have to have a few snacks with my beverages in the evening. I thought some folks would get a kick out of seeing me have them.
The rations looked good but I’m guessing they aren’t spelling the end of the “tomahawks” ;) thanks for the vid :)
No, already looking forward to something substantial for the next video. Was nice to give them a go though.
Great video! What brand generator was that? Do you think it would run a small air conditioner? Really enjoy the videos!
That is a Pulsar Products (branded with the Aldi WorkZone name). It is 2000watt rated (max). Check the AC to see what kind of watts it pulls when the compressor kicks on. It does have a setting where you can run it at the max (2000) all the time, a little more noisy of course.
And by the way, Memorial Day is not Veteran's day. Memorial Day is for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Yes, I do know that, but it works for me to salute them all. Just because they didn't give the ultimate sacrifice I think each and everyone lost a little.
Didn't know there was a Midway 2019
I thought it was interesting from a historical perspective. It did learn a few things along the way also.
Whiterook85... just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful solute to the men and women who have served or are currently serving their country. It was very genuine and heartfelt.
Thank you very much Ian, it was a good weekend remembering our brave men and women who are Serving, have Served, or had giving the ultimate sacrifice.
😊
