- While Lola and Penn Charles were off at summer camp, we spent a week together in California glamping and getting lost in the woods. Thank goodness we made it back... seriously. #glamping #summervacation #california

I find it falling down hilarious that three years later, this intrepid, two-bottles-of-water-and-a-candy bar trail-clueless "hiking" duo won The Amazing Race. For reals! Well done, Penn and Kim! :-)
❤
Had access to a free boat. Went out on huge lake. Said our vows for our 25 th wedding anniversary. Realized, we were lost in the middle of nowhere...🤣🤣🤣. God answered our prayers and sent a very kind and generous fishing man, hallelujah!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love how Penn just quoted Robert Frost poetry in normal conversation. 👍🏻👍🏻
Me too! That was awesome!😎
That is full-on glamping. A real bed in a tent that you don't have to set up.
The people who are in this are not that way
...and the bar...there was a mobile bar!!!!
Me when he started burning toilet paper:😩😩😩😩😩😫😫😫😲😲😲
2020 vibes.
I was just going to comment about that! Lol
It is the future you see.... sorry Star Wars reference LOL !
Just saying, I didn't read urs till I scrolled
Dana Laclair didn’t say you had to see it
@@eleanorx4770 stop, o just watched the vid and thought it was funny
...actually we DO know bears don’t wear shoes anywhere. Because they are bearfoot. #dadjokeFTW
lol
Kroog funny
Hahaha 🤣
You would think they would wear shoes, to keep from stepping in their own poop. After all, they DO poop in the forest!!!
Lol
This is a great example of how hiking is not only healthy but leads to moments of realization and serenity as well as beauty. As a Boy Scout I experienced many great moments of camping fun. It was only as a Scout Camp counselor that I had access to electricity in a tent. But even still we were on cots, but they had thin mattresses.
Yes, always have to watch out for anything that has “leaves of three, let it be”,
Congratulations if you actually made Eagle and respect. During the Hurricane Frederick aftermath you could tell who had scouting experience by how they reacted to the no power no water experience.
One of your most beautiful videos. If you are ever in Chicago there are a number of short pretty trails at “The Little Red School House” which is SW of the city in the Cook County Forest Preserves. The nice thing about the trails is that any age can go to them, even Grandparents and toddlers and the walks include a lotto Illinois.specific flowers and plants that are not so widely seen there. The water areas, lake views, are special too.
About two hours West and South of Chicago is the Starved Rock State Park (take I-80 West to get there). Not only do they have hotel and camping style rooms but lots of swimming (pool) and wonderful trails along the Illinois River. In areas where the trail is rough there are wood plank roads to help you along and watching posts over the River. After a rain is a wonderful time to go because that charged up the beautiful waterfalls on the trails. We have seen many deer families in the evening. Hope you try it. Very much worth filming. Have to watch tiny kids at a few places on some of the trails but the lodge staff is very good with advice. Speaking of which the food is very good especially the sweet potato chips and fries!
Very much enjoying your videos!
Chicago girl here ( retired in VA)... Great list of our hiking treasures back home... Thanks homie
ALWAYS pre-download offline maps w/ trails for the area, in multiple apps (google maps, AllTrails, Geocaching, etc), on BOTH phones, w/ battery bank. and maybe a compass and paper map is helpful... and carry extra flashlights, water, food, 1st aid kit (and tecnu etc for poison oak), and emerg blanket!! Signal whistle is helpful also, they often are combos w/ compass and even matches inside.
Hiker here. Always stay on the trail! And yeah, that sounded like a squirrel. 😊
Yes! Always stay on the trail... keeps wilderness open for everyone!
Great little spot. That was a blue or stellar jay. (Bird) fun video. Great job guys! 🌲🌲🌲🎶🌄
My favorite statement by J.R.R. Tolkien "All who wander are not lost"!
21st century man, glamping, “where’s the coffee machine?” And unable to identify a hot water bottle 🤣🤣🤣
You aren't lost! You're very close to Grandmother's house... someone's Grandmother anyway. Over the river and through the woods... 😂
Cindy Coker ggj

So happy you made it!
The original song was over the river and through the woods to GRANDFATHERS house we go when it spread to more pepole thought it was grandmother
I was born and raised and still live where Redwoods grow and am so happy the two of you had this wonderful experience in California, and shared it with the rest of the world on youtube. Maybe I'll bump into you in 9 years. Social distancing of course....
Between watching how you guys crossed the creek, built a fire, camp in a decked out tent with the electricity, thought the lantern was a coffee maker, order drinks from the outdoor bar, got lost... it's become painfully obvious that you guys are definitely city folk, lol. But mad props for getting out and experiencing the great outdoors.
Please DO MORE of these videos with you and Penn alone doing something new together. (Not that I don't
agreed
"We left a really nice hotel to go hang out in the woods." Sounds good to me.
3:55 Ratcoon ??
@@WildEagleOutdoors It's a squirrel. Something probably startled it.
Makes sense
@iamSketchH makes sense to me
Stellers Jay. Also known as camp robbers. A bird.
We, your fans and followers, are glad you did make it out.
Night one was squirrels. I was camping and they threw rocks at my tent. (While chirping like that)
Luke Christy
They chirp like that cuz they feel threatened & don't like when their space is intruded on.
Oof
That’s good to know! Thanks!
I thought cicadas 😆
Those are redwood trees around their tent. 😍😍😍
So are you using this as a way to teach Penn & Lola about hiking safely?! 🤣🤣 or shall we never talk about it? Love you guys 💞
As a result of my recent weight loss, apparently my husband and I are also those kind of people who hike! 😱. It is a surreal realization! 😂
I grew up in this area and know it well- that was a blue jay’s calling before dawn. How I miss my redwoods after escaping the fires that almost burned my house down twice and did burn down many of my friends’ and colleagues’ homes... California’s nature is awesome- that’s the only thing I miss from my birthplace...
LOVE the Redwoods. Was sooo lucky to see them in 2016. California is an AMAZING place! Have been there twice now!
2019: “I’ve got some toilet paper for kindling.”
2020: NO!!!! THAT STUFF IS PRECIOUS!!!!!!!
Looks like you two had one heck of an adventure! A couple of them, in fact. I'm glad you made it safely back though. Great vlog! Lots of stunning views and plenty of the usual "Pennisms", so that's fun. Great job! 🙂🙂🙂
I'll put on my bio-nerd hat and let you know that the "marijuana plant" is actually mugwort. Rumored to be a great treatment for stinging nettles or poison oak. lol
That's really great! Although, it being California, I was prepared for it to be actual marijuana.
@@marmeemarch7080 meh--it could be anywhere. Yes, it grows well in CA and there's a lot of illegal grows, but there's grow houses (if not farms) all over the states.
Scary! Please be careful when you go again. My husband's uncle actually died while hiking and falling off a cliff. I'm not joking. It looked amazing, but please just be careful! Love you guys!
I am with Bonnie in thinking what you did was very dangerous and you could have easily and quickly got yourselves in deep danger. I hate sounding like a old fuddy, but don't do that again! You were one twisted ankle away from a terrible hiking trip ! 😨
Hard fast rules of minimalist survival camping.
Sturdy lockblade knife
50 feet of paracord
Ferrous rod with pre practiced fire starting skills

I love camping & that's beautiful.
Just enjoy the journey & don't stress.
In August I went on a 40km (24.85 miles) kayak trip. My parents were in our canoe and I was in my kayak. We slept in a tent and did it have any bathrooms. It was so much fun. This was definitely not camping in any way
So in a Glamping video Penn says “adorbs” and “purty” in the same video! Hahaha! I’d love to camp somewhere like that and Kim I’m so glad you didn’t have to dig a “💩” hole this time! Hahaha
Toilet paper rolls packed with long from the dryer works great for starting fires!
My husband and I went camping all along the California coast when i was about 6 months pregnant with our first, back in 2007. We actually stayed in Big Sur, at Pfeiffer, which was right next to this site! We had also gone to Yosemite prior to Big Sur. It was a wonderful week! We will have to check this place out once quarantine is done! Thanks for doing a couples video!
Her sarcasm is so funny.
Please tell me he did not just say “adorbs”
The sound of the animal at night was just a cheeky squirrel; his friends probably dared him to scare you guys.
That looked so fun and beautiful just 1 tip when you left the camp make sure to close the big screen to make sure you don’t get bit😊 love you guys ♥️
Omg u guys have the best vids and everytime i feel sad i watch your videos and start to burst our laughing
agreed
When Penn started using toilet paper to make a fire I was like 😫😩 That’s what 2020’s like
Stand by Me hike!!!!! I am dead! So glad you made it back, what would I do without your videos and snark!?!?
You should do that more often. It'll lessen the anxiety about it. Some of the best places I've seen were not on a trail. By the way, the first night you were hearing squirrels. They seem to love to drop things on your tent. 😂
So I live in a part of Montana that has bears, and my family normally camps in Glacier National Park cause we live half hour away, but we went to San Jaun island for vacation and we were camping. We were all so jittery cause we are so used to preperations for camping in bear country 😁😁 like no bear boxes, didn't have to bring bear spray, could leave food in the car
Glad you both made it there and back safely!
That noise was definitely a baby Sasquatch.
Gorgeous glamping ♥️♥️♥️ Your commentary is priceless 🤣
4:00 - that scary animal.... is a squirrel. It's a squirrel. A rather pissed off squirrel.
(A mama squirrel lives in one of my trees and makes that exact sound at my dog, at crows, at other squirrels, sometimes for no apparent reason at all other than she has had it up to HERE. It's super fun when she does this at 5 am right outside my window.)
LOL! And you have an amazing user name!
I just saw you on the flight to ATL!
Thank you for bringing so much joy to the world with your great content! I travel 200 days out of the year and I love keeping up with your channel while in the airport! ❤
OMGosh, we LOVED watching your video! So glad that you survived. Next time you want to try Glamping with a little more relaxing, check out "The WT on Whidbey" on beautiful Whidbey Island, WA. We promise you won't get lost . . . and no bears in shoes!!!
who needs a stinking trail? we dont need no stinking trail! you guys are my kind of hikers getting off trail and seeing the real wilderness and the animals, i am sure if you werent so noisy you might of got to seen a bear or deer or even bigfoot.
Ventana Campground Big Sur CA
$600 per night
thanks!
@@MrAragon131 It's actually $250 per night now. You don't have access to the main hotel pools and no marshmallows and bathrobes, but a much better price though :))) we just went there recently and posted another video about the changes. It's a beautiful place, just book well in advance as it gets sold out all the time.
the best thing i heard all day was penn saying adorbs
This is how I grew up camping- Grandma and Grandpa brought their bed- and we had a fridge- but she cooked on camp stoves- oh and she and a camp oven for cake
I LYSM!!! ❤️❤️I watch y’all every day! And in school lol 😆
Hey you had fun and made an educational video on the dangers of going off trail. I call that a win!
I lived in Sonoma county(wine country/NorCal) for about 2 years. Moved out there with a guy I had just met 2 years older than me at 18 like 3 or 4 months after we met. Most amazing place I've ever been! I mean I was living out of my car, with a ft job thank u, for about 10 months of those 2 years. Spent a few months in the woods in a tiny river town that this glamping reminds me of so much! Granted it was in a leaky rv that was so moldy I left sick af(bronchitis for about 2 mo bc no medical insurance). That was the end of car living tho. We got what we lovingly referred to as the shoe box bc that's how small it was. Old army barracks that were converted to Apts lol. Was super lonely so we moved back home (Minnesota) shortly after my 20th bday. It was the most insane thing I think I've ever done but I'd do it over again. Now 18 yrs later( so old 😱😭) still in Minnesota married to that same stranger who I ran off with with a house we actually bought not 7 miles from where I grew up with our one and only child who starts kindergarten tomorrow 😱. Life sure is a crazy ride
What a nice set up! And yay for y'all becoming hiking people :D
Now we know where all the tp went 😂
My kids and I love watching you
Night-1 scary was probably a Stellar’s Jay. These birds like potato chips. Also, did I see a BAR-trailer at the “glampground?” I actually live in CA & have never seen a bar at a campground. Seems like a good idea, though.
That is my kind of camping!
Love this!! And I love Big Sur. They tree house resort is amazing!!
Hi from Scotland 🏴 love your videos
that's a fox! That first-night scaries! I LOVE THEMMMM! That is an affectionate/don't touch this call
HAHAHA we kept laughing here! You guys are so charming and funny! omg when I grow up I wanna have the kind of relationship you guys do ❤️
Wow!!! This looks fabulous!
Everything's Beautiful!
As one who camped a lot as a kid I feel like we Deserve Glamping. The Redwoods spot-exceptional.
I love camping! We added all kinds of cool stuff for this year's camping trip. We full on cheat. I rent a site with electric and we take the coffeemaker with us. My husband and I got lost in the woods. It's interesting, to say the least. You get a good workout. I believe we walked 10 miles when we were planning to walk 1/2 mile. We used the GPS, but we were in a huge park that had multiple parking lots. We kept picking the wrong lot.
So beautiful- thanks for sharing.
I love this family ❤️
Aw that made me jealous!! I want to go camping (not clamping...that’s silly) and adventuring through awesome forests accross freezing streams now. (Gata admit I laughed really hard when you commented on the size of the waves...welcome to the west coast)
My palms were sweating watching you guys hike!!
Wow! That must be “Tree Bones” resort. It’s an amazing place. Loved your hike. This is “my back yard” would have been fun to bump into you. Remember to check for ticks, and scrub off the poison oak with stuff designed to remove poison oak oils.
I love this, looks beautiful and fun. Even getting lost is ok
Yeah that’s glamping alright! When you were on the hike at the ocean we said “looks like Big Sur”! One of the most beautiful places ❤️
That was your most intense video yet! So glad you found your way out.
Oh yea, back when we had toilet paper to burn, yea!!! 😷 stay safe!
Penn and Kim's big adventure. You guys are so brave !! 😀
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. You guys did great.
Heck yes this is definitely how you camp. I would love to go glamping.
Wow, this is beautiful!!!
" we are the type of people who hike now all of a sudden"
Watching this during 2020 pandemic, the nostalgia of even being able to go camping!!!!😳😰😓 and I dont camp 🙃
Sorry to hear about Ruby. Love watching your videos! Take care!
But where o where is this campsite? My wife and I are wanting to come to California to do exactly this.
Awesome video..thanks!!
yeah I'd like to know where this is as well!!
It looks Ventana campgrounds in Big Sur.
To start the fire, you should check with Bear Grillis, or look up survival on the Weather Channel, their guy tells you how to start a fire using the "parabolic mirror" from your headlight after you bust it out of your car.😎
You guys had my anxiety way up
i love glamping ⛺
So glad you guys are ok😊
Getting lost in the woods is terrifying🙈
The water bottles you found on the bed are to keep your feet warm as you sleep because there's no heater 😉
So basically you guys are turning into my parents (hiking, quoting Frost,)
Not gonna lie. That looks like a pretty freaking awesome "glamping" trip. We didn't have anything like that in my six years in Boy Scouts. Kinda jealous a bit. Kinda.
Holderness not naked and afraid. LOL!!!
Stand By Me LMAO
Ahhh! I was so worried for yall! But then I remembered that you posted this so you survived. 🤷🏻♀️😬🤣
you say "we go on hikes now.."..like you guys didnt kill it in amazing race and Kim is a daily runner and grandpa barbie is a workout dude lol i love you guys!!!
Looks like lots of fun up until the hike . Something I wouldn't do knowing I would get myself and anyone with me lost in a second. 🤣
I was having anxiety for you, I'm so glad you didn't get hurt!
omg y'all are the best and funniest youtubers I ove your channel
I love glamping!!! Lol where we do we DO have electricity, a fridge, stove and microwave!! Lol most others around us are in tents they bring themselves. We are in a loft cabin.
