We're still in absolute shock at just how beautiful the shower turned out, it's truly the most magical sound of the crickets and frogs, especially after dark. Hope you enjoyed the video and make sure you leave a comment on the video so you're entered in the $500 giftcard. Have an amazing week, see you sunday!
Completely. Amazing. It must feel like a luxury spa treatment after Rubbermaid tub bathing! Congratulations. (And I’ll be singing along with your anti-bug song, Tyler...so funny!)
My friends & I carried an old trampoline piece by piece 1/4 of mile through a huge corn field & woods set up by a creek and put a big tent on top it best party's ever 😉 we lived in it practically all summer even carried in a lawn mower 😂
I want to go camping at your homestead....I am a 73 year old lady and for the first time in my life I want to meet y’all and finally get rid of all my preconceived ideas of what constitutes love. It is obvious to me how much you love each other!....you have already changed many of my concepts of life....thank you!
This is absolutely heart-warming and almost brought me to tears. Thank you for being open to love in all forms. It speaks to the goodness in your heart.
I’m 71 but I was luckier. For 40 odd years my bff was a gay man. He and his lover became my sons Uncles. Neither of them lived to see gay marriage and a world where you didn’t have to hide parts of your lives. I watch these and I always wish he were sitting with me.
My husband had just recently come home from Viet Nam, and I had just given birth to our first baby. He was suffering from PTSD ( which wasn’t recognized as a condition yet), and was having a very difficult time adjusting to civilian life. We lived in Virginia on a Marine Corp base, and There happened to be a beautiful lake that was a part of the base property. We decided that we had to get away from civilization, so we headed out to the lake to go camping. When we got to the lake, the entire dock had broken off from the anchors on shore and was floating free.We thought it might be a cool idea to set up camp out on this dock. We erected our tent, set up our barbecuer, and arranged the things that we had brought for food for ourselves and our 2 week old baby. Once we had gotten away from the shore and was out of prying eyes, We spent 2 whole weeks stripping not only our clothes, but the walls that had materialized around our minds and hearts as well. floating around on this crystal clear lake, fishing for dinner, enjoying each other’s company, and bonding as a new little family-just being truly intimate with one another. The days were sunny and warm, the nights were balmy, beautiful with stars that matched the sparkle of thousands of fireflies. Seeing the net that you have set up reminded me of the net that Ray put up over the opening of our tent We were 20 and 21, and are now in our 70’s; we still talk about that magical camp out as the cornerstone, the beginning, of a sometimes long and difficult process to hope and healing from wounds of that terrible war. To this day, one of favorite things to do is gather up our two dogs and head to the woods. Sorry this was so long, but there was no other way to tell the story without telling all the story😏. PS I just love your channel ♥️
Loved your story Lola. A friend's family owned some acreage up in some forested sm mts/ good sized hills in Arkansas. It would take us a while on red dirt roads to get there from the nearest town. There were 5 or 6 of us that spent over a month doing rustic camping. Nobody lived close so the only sounds we heard were of nature and ourselves. We were next to a good sized creek and a natural spring where we got our water. One of my favorite experiences ever! In fact we did it a second time only this time there was also a sweet little camping trailer his dad had hauled in and also a roofed two sided latrine in a private space. It's pretty special to be doing your business in a comfortable way and still be a part of nature. We floated on the creek, went exploring, cooked over an outdoor fire and just lived simply. It's pretty darn magical! We were late h.s. and 1st yr community college then and I'm around your age, too, Lola. Good memories to think on and share!
The bird singing at 11:07 is a male Wood Thrush. I also think their song is one of the most beautiful in the Northeast. They are crepuscular {most active at dawn/dusk). Enjoy Todd.
I started crying because I’m having a very hard time these days, only partly due to Covid. Thank you. Like others , I needed to hear it too. I just adore you all. ❤️❤️❤️
And the sensual award for 2021 goes to Todd and Tyler-sights, sounds, compassion, commitment to each other, story telling, problem solving and a love of adventure. Well done ! Thanks for taking us along.
One of the most important things which your videos communicate is that Gaymen can learn construction, mechanical and electrical skills so that we are not dependent on straight men. You never actually say that, but then, you don't have to. You just demonstrate the way to independence. A very powerful message. Thank you.
I agree with you, but I think everyone can and should learn those skills that are supposedly _gender-specific_ so that none of us need to be dependent on anyone.
I learnt almost nothing from my father, but sewing from my grandma, while my mother taught me reading and writing (long before school). Now I teach technical stuff to IT professionals and am a handyman around the house and caravan.
Tyler, it's a stiff competition but I think the shower scene is the most beautiful thing you've ever filmed. Truly took my breath away the way the lights caught the steam, the droplets on the mirror, etc.
Me two kinda but there’s always a problem when it comes to Tyler with a shirt off . Todd don’t want us to see that hairy chest . Hmmmm But Todd on the other hand Tyler will show his Man . Lol looks great you two . Y’all live like I wish we would have done when we where young . We both old and broke down now so do all you can now . Protect those Backs because when you make one mistake it’s not good , I know I fell on my left hip on the job back in August and it ain’t been right since . Y’all make my back hurt watching you push that wheelbarrow of rocks .lol
@@bartsexton1652 I too enjoy seeing a man with chest hair 😍 Your reference to taking care of your back really hit home as I'm scheduled for spinal surgery this Wednesday
Every camping trip is so much fun. When I was a kid, us kids would sleep in the tent, my parents slept in a built on tent on top of the station wagon. One place in Kansas, there were so many frog sounds and other sounds, we were so scared, then it started to rain, so it was the perfect invitation to all climb into the car. When my husband and I bought a camper trailer, we went to Colorado, and the night that it rained and was so magical to hear the rain on the metal roof. I loved it. There were so many hummingbirds that, I hung a feeder. The hummers would fight over it. We were camped by a river, and on the the other side was a hill, where we saw a mama bear and her cub. That was a great week long trip. But Truly every camping trip is so much fun. Even if it’s just for the weekend near home. Love your shower, really magical! ❤️
I about 12yrs old and my dad rented a 15’ trailer for a long weekend and we had the best time ever. From that til today I have been hooked. I’ve had trailers, class c, and class A. I’m 71 yrs. old now and I’m back to a trailer. This has always makes me happy to just hook up and run away for a bit. I love you boys 💙
My heart Thank you truly Tyler I am struggling! your kind words Ment so much 💞 Love you both 💝 an the boy's 🐾🐾 Love the out side shower You two are amazing 🎊 I hope you know how much you Inspire many of us! Your strength and confidence Is just the best 🥰 Stay strong and well please We need you!
I met my husband camping with the boy scouts. We took those boys camping every single month for about 8 years. Missouri has some very beautiful camping grounds and has dedicated funds for its conservation program. Since we married 21 years ago we have tent camped all over the United States. We even got interested in reenactment camping from the French Indian War to the revolutionary War. Now we camp and sell historical maps from the period. We are in our seventies now and treasure all our memories. I love watching you guys. I raised 5 sons and my husband has three. They all went through boyscouts and loved camping. We have wonderful rivers to float and great fishing. Love being and outdoor person. Love watching you guys build a life you love.
Again, the sheer quality of this editing goshhh, the shower at the end with the sounds of the forest awakening at night in the background was almost surreal
That was the most beautiful magical shower I have ever seen in my life the end of this video put tears of joy in my heart for you guys Thank you for sharing this Mother Nature magical moment with us ❤️
Thank you Tyler & Todd for the love you send out to your subscribers in your thoughtful wishes for our well-being and in the BEAUTIFUL videos you share with us each week. I feel so thankful that I’m part of your video virtual family! The love & caring you have for each other (& Charlie & Eddie) transmits over the miles that separate us all and boosts the flame of love in our own hearts. And this week, your thoughts, the videography, the music, and the romantic feeling evoked by the shower scene was so much my heart ❤️ ached with love for you. It was so beautiful I could have cried! I live in California near the coast and have enjoyed outdoor showers for a few years now but your shower has made me envious. Somehow I’m going to have to plumb some hot water to it. I think I’ll follow your lead and install a separate propane fired heater. My favorite camping memory is from my youth when we visited Yosemite, watched and listened to nature, and watched the now forbidden Firefalls. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us each week! ❤️👍🏻
Hey! I grew up in a household that enjoyed camping across the western United States and Canada. Those were epic month long trips for us, but my favorite camping memory was when I was about 13-14 -15 and each summer my parents would take our tent camper and a small sailboat and set up camp for us (the children) at the local state park for about 3 weeks. We would invite our friends to come up and stay with us. Only at dinner would one of the parents bring us supper and extra supplies, but other than those visits we were on our own. We were camped on the waterfront of a small lake (no motors on boats) with tall pine trees surround the campsite. For three weeks we did nothing but swim, sail, eat and sleep. Today thinking back to those times, I can't believe that our parents would allow us to stay out there without adult supervision. I imagine they needed the time away from all of us! Times are very different today. I really do enjoy your channel and of the projects that you do. What great imaginations that you both have. Stay safe guys.
Favorite camping: With my red-haired son when he was six. Just the two of us in a State Park at the end of Long Island. We lay on our backs and watched the stars come out, one by one. Thankful for no light pollution. Near the ocean. The rhythmic sound of the surf lulling us to sleep.
Your eye for editing and cinematography... it's just -- wow! Now, I realize you might have a secret editor, hiding off camera somewhere (the "boys," perhaps? lol) but from what you've said and revealed about your schedule and division of labor, I think it's really you. You both improve every day with your sense of artistry. Thanks for sharing it with us.
We didn’t have much money growing up, so our vacations were travelling to one amusement park per year and we would tent camp nearby. As a family we didn’t do much travelling, but these camping trips were the highlight of our year. To this day, I love going tent camping with my kids. Getting away from everything, enjoying simpler things, being outdoors, campfires and friends/family. Thanks for making me laugh every episode. I loved the strategically placed torches at the end today. 💜💜
If you want to get to know which birds you hear, I will recommend the app BirdNET. It records the song and analyzes it. Quite good as long as there isn't too much disturbance around. Now back to watching the rest of your video. 😊
Hey guys-always look forward to seeing your progress each week! You are creating a beautiful spot for your new home. I live in Denver Colorado and recognize that bird call-we always enjoy them here. They are meadow larks. Such a soothing sound. It will be an awesome experience for you to enjoy the new shower and I look forward to seeing it in operation. Love to you both! Gary
@@garyharris7323 eastern meadow lark doesn’t usually get as far north east as Nova Scotia, at least not according to my bird books. It sound much more like a hermit thrush or perhaps wood thrush to me.
My oldest turned 10 this year and her lifelong dream has been to own a camper! We have watched all kinds of van life and camper UA-cam channels together over the years lol Well I found a beat up little 1982 camper last week and put it in the backyard for her. I couldn’t even start fixing it up before she moved in 😂 she’s been camping in it for almost a week now with her iPad and jackery. It’s just the cutest thing!
Best camping memory: When my son was 8 years old I took him camping with my friends and their 7 year old. We hiked to a very rustic cabin on the side of a mountain in New Hampshire, US (operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club). It was a magical experience. The kids learned how to purify water from a small stream nearby and enjoyed scrambling on rocks, gathering sticks for the fire, and just being kids. We played cards late into the night in front of the woodstove. I savored my morning coffee on the front porch while reading and watching the mist rise. My 8 year old is 21 now and my heart is full when he shares his experiences hiking and in the mountains. The magic never ends.
In June of 1963, my family packed up a green Rambler from where we lived in Anchorage Alaska, with my 3 older sibs in the backseat, and my parents and I upfront. We travelled down the old ALCAN Highway to Montana to see family, and then on to Wisconsin where we were settling down. My Dad had an old Army issue 10 person tent and sleeping bags for all of us that he won in a crap game with his infantry buddies when they came home from fighting in the South Pacific in 1945-46. We had the best time camping along the way. We had adventures, great food cooked on a campfire, and even a visit by bears one night. We scared them away making noise, though we were a bit shook-up! I’m 66 now, and treasure the memories that were made on that trip with my family.
Guys, the tiki torches around the shower reminded me... there are some oil burning torches that have mosquito repellent oils, including some natural oils as well... something to look for!! Love ya!
I live in Michigan where the mosquitoes are always horrendous, until i found the repellent oil to use in my tiki torches & the mosquitoes are nearly obsolete.
Hello from Indiana!!! I have been watching you boys for two weeks now and just want to thank you for all the smiles you have brought to this Midwest lady ☺️ Never stop being your awesome selves!!
My two favorite men in the woods I’m so happy to see you both and I think you’re just a little bit nuts but always fun and good for you you’re doing what you want and that is the way to live. That last sequence of you guys in the shower was filmed beautifully and kind a hot
You two make me smile, I am a old woman and I do not smile a lot, but watching you two really makes me smile, thank you , can not wait for your next vlog.
Hi Guys!!! My favorite camping memory is taking my elderly and blind Bichon dog Rico and seeing him enjoy the outside and and lounge by the river without a care in the world. His goofy toothless smile brighten my day! 🐶🐶🐶🐶
My favorite camping memory is my 3 night solo kayak experience in lakeland Provincial Recreational area near Edmonton. Traveling solo with my VW Vanagon, I did kayaked with portage by myself and upon return back to my car, I found a note. A lovely Canadian lady had locked my car and left me a note to tell me about it. I went to see them and thanked her for her efforts. To top it off, she invited me to freshly caught lake perch which I will never forget. Keep in mind, coming from the US, had this happened outside of Canada, my VW Vanagon would have vanished. A fond Canadian memory I will cherish forever and I cannot wait to return north of the border as soon as legally permissible to camp again. Love your show.
I love those chairs I think you both are a good example on what a couple should be i know theres times when days are hard and people can be judgmental dont listen to them people have the right to be happy with the person they love and thats what us parents want for thier child to be happy .by wotrking together and support ing each other you can make your dream paradise come true love you both be strong and dont listen to those haters sending lots of hugs and prayers sweeties tc your friend over the web shirley m hernandez yuba city ca
You guys are so awsome and talented!! I'm living vicariously through the two of you. And the boys. And thanks for the inspiration. It's really getting tough, but watching your videos really makes me happy. Thank you guys! Shanta you stay. 😁❤🇨🇦
My best camping memory is from camping under the stars along the Kern River in Central California on a bug free night with just a light sleeping bag and waking up at 3am to see the center of the milky way visible above me. It’s the only time I’ve seen it clearly without a long exposure photo taken someplace very dark. It was a perfect moment of warm summer night air on my face, the sound of the river rapids and a hooting owl, and a swirl of unimaginably beautiful stars overhead. It was my 50th birthday and I will never forget that perfect moment. I also don’t think I will ever forget that fire-crotch shot of naked Todd ,or Tyler’s perfect moment smile, while showering under the stars. Good things happen in nature under the stars. 😉
My wife and I camped on our honeymoon... best camping experience all along the coast of Oregon and northern California. This was 35 years ago. Seems like last year! Thank you for what you do. We live in Eastern Washington. ~
You're amazing. I have been really struggling recently with various aspects of my life. I can't really see how my future is going to be in a few years time but you guys have really helped me see that my future is mine to make and that there is hope for me. I know one meagre comment isn't much but if you do see this, every Sunday, I feel less alone for 20 mins. It means everything that you post videos. Thank you so so much xx
Ontario Canada in high school from the USA. Canoeing, portaging, camping. You could drink the water from the lakes and rivers it was so clean and glacier fed. The mosquitos, aggressive but stopped at some point at night and one of my school mates woke me up to sit up on a rock to see the milky way with him. I will never forget that gesture. Camping anywhere else but this place never lived up. It was in a national forest with no planes or anything. Two days in and out if you got hurt so we got first aid and safety instructions before we set off. See the world as it was meant to be. Great thanks to our French-Canadian guides who trained us first then started us off with our guides across what I think was Lake Batchuan? maybe. It was rough canoeing to the other side to get the trip started. I just remember it was one rough windy lake and i swear a couple of guides passed us twice in the same canoe encouraging all of us to dig in! It was so windy you could not even hear the person in the front.
Love the new shower setup. Those mosquitoes though are insane! I live aboard a boat so everyday is my version of camping. Listening to the ducks splash outside, otters swimming by and birds chirping in the distance is my version of heaven and renewal!
Thank you for your beautiful intro Tyler, you touched my heart. Man you guys are such hard workers and have created so many amazing things on your land. This shower though, its a game changer!! You should be so proud of yourselves.
I'll say it again...you two are AMAZING!!! The shower design is unbelievable and having it surrounded by nature is a dream I've had for so long! I absolutely love it! My favorite camping memory...I had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and was about to have surgery and was unsure what the outcome would be. We took our grandson camping in different camp sites over a week and a half before surgery. One was rustic, one VERY rustic lol, another nice but the last one (where we stayed the longest) was a kid centered one called Jellystone! There were so many activities for our grandson and it was SUCH a nice park...we loved it! Thankfully the surgery went well, the tumor benign and all is now well!
I was 15yo, my mother had passed and i was living with my older sister and her 4 kids. I rolled up a couple quilts and bottled water. I brought my 6yo nephew along and we walked to a hedgerow between fields. We had a small fire to roast corn over, it was delicious. We watched the stars, told stories and slept the sleep of the innocent.
You guys are such gems! Ok favorite camping memory: Hiked 18kms to Kalalau beach on Kauai and set up camp in the most beautiful secluded spot we’ve ever been! After 2 days in paradise, a hurricane level storm hit. We were trapped in our tent for 36 hours straight while rivers of water washed around us. When the storm finally passed, we realized the trail back out was washed away and we were stranded with other campers on the beach! 2 days later we were finally rescued by the coast guard that sent helicopters to take us back to civilization, and just in time as we were running out of food! Scary but amazing memories were made!
@@tylerandtodd I have children in that area due to the Army base. I fall more in love with the mountains each time I go. You home place is beautiful. Good luck.
My absolute favorite camping memories is a little town called Greer in Arizona. It's small town of 150 residents, has man made lakes, a campground with hot showers, flushing toilets, water/electric hook ups and an outdoor movie theater. Tons of hiking trailers, fishing, horseback riding and a few good eateries. My family and I would spend two weeks every summer and sometimes friends would join us. Each night after dinner, we would sit around the fire talking and made s'mores. The days were filled with fishing, hiking, naps, games, arts and crafts and rare times indoors waiting out a rain storm. No TV, no electronics and no phones. Outdoor off grid shower was great! That could be a new business for you two. Off grid glamp living consultation.
I'm 50 years old & I've never been camping--I have a bug phobia. Yes i know I'm a big wussy, but I live vicariously thru you love 🐦s. Gorgeous shower scene montage! Love you guys...😘😘😘😘
"Let it be me." Indeed. My camping days are over but if I could, I'd go down to the Crow River that ran through my families farm in Manannah, MN for another memorable time in the woods. As a boy I spent many wonderful days there. Cheers boys.
Peppermint or lavender oil is a natural mosquitoe repellent and when you mix either with water you can spray it around the area or on yourself to keep them away. My favorite camping memory was waking up one morning with a doe sticking her head in the tent.
@@tylerandtodd citronella is good to plant as well and does Ok in planters. The mint should be very productive in a wall planter for the outdoor shower and dried for tea. Lavender can be invasive so watch where you put that.
My husband and I would like to take our adopted daughter on her first camping trip to Hocking Hills Ohio. It is were we use to go as kids. They are caves, rivers and great walking trails. We thought about taking our cats, but I thing they would not enjoy it as much as your boys do. Thank you for being a happy part of my week. Sincerely Senior Parents!
Love this, thanks for sharing! By the way, we’ve watched so many amazing homes and tours in that area. Some pretty unreal real estate in Hocking Hills!
I'm currently camping/living in Las Vegas in my 16 foot RV due to school for the past year and a half. I plan on camping next to the Hudson River for my next assignment elsewhere. Meanwhile, I have been partially remodeling, and I admit that this channel has inspired me to do more than I have ever imagined. Thank you guys!! You are amazing!
When I was 11 years old I went camping for my first and only time so far to Yosemite. I had the best time ever. My dad bought a mobile home but he only went to Louisiana his home state. I would love to win and now that I'm an adult and looking into owning some land and a Tiny Home this would just be over the top. I would Love,Love,Love to go camping again. 👍👍
That was a beautiful video from beginning to end!!! I loved the videography as well as the music you selected and that outdoor shower is absolutely AMAZIING!! I can only imagine how much joy it brings you to have that available to you every day. GREAT JOB!!! You guys never cease to amaze me at your talents and abilities and I just love how the two of you work together to bring your ideas to fruition. So happy for your family and as always, I can’t wait to see what next weeks video brings. As for my favorite camping memory, it was when my family went camping with my cousins in Banff National Park back in the late 60’s.
Just be around them an the history of mother earth. To listen to them speak as the wind blows .that would be my dream come true my tent near a creek. With nature an to bring some wildflower seeds to put out when i have to leave to thank mother earth for sharing a beautiful journey. Much kindness and happiness always guys joe/Louisiana 🐕🐕👬🌍🙏❤❤🥰🍷🍷
I don‘t even know what it feels like to take a hot shower in the forest, but judging from how you seemed to enjoy it, magic does happen in the dark, in between the trees when no one is watching. Thank you for taking all of us on this wet and glistening journey across the land and your bodies. 😉
As a kid my family used to camp near Gettysburg, PA and spend our days walking the battlefields and hiking in the mountains. When my kids were young, I took them to Western Maryland where we would camp and hike in the Cumberland Gap and along the C&O Canal. Now that my kids have all fledged, I'm ready to downsize and move to a camper and wander the US and Canada. You guys are so much fun to watch and are such an inspiration. Thank you for letting us see a little bit into your lives.
I was reading some of the comments guys and it’s a nice reminder to reassure you both how much your inspiration, work ethic and compassion supports us all during what is a difficult time world-wide. The strategic location of the torch was a nice editing touch 😏. Many of us so look forward to your videos and this small glimpse into your life. Heaps of love and huge hugs from Australia.
My ultimate camping destination is Father Hennepin State Park on Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota. Its a small place, not many people go there, but it the most peaceful I've ever felt while walking thru the woods. Going up to Pope Point and sitting to watch the waves crash on the rocks with my dog... cant get better than that. Great video Guy's!! didn't know we would end up watching a little skin-a-max this evening. VERY HOT 🔥🔥🔥🚒🔥🧯🔥🔥🔥
We raised our 5 kids camping in the Smoky Mountains of TN...they’re all grown now and we enjoy doing the same with our grands! Favorite campground? Cades Cove...favorite memory? Waking up one morning to a black bear that has wandered into the opened door (that opened INWARD) of the ladies room...managing to have it close behind her and being trapped! It was def an experience watching the park staff figure that one out!! Lol! The repairs were minimal at least! 🤣
Wow - nothing beats a HOT outdoor shower! Such thoughtful and beautiful design! My partner and I are always inspired by how you two face and overcome each challenge; the homestead you both are building is truly remarkable. Your videos are a true highlight of our Sundays and always leave us feeling charged to tackle the week ahead!
My favorite camping memory is hitchhiking in central and southern Europe with my brother and staying at camp sites, rest stops or wherever it was more or less legal. We would not have been able to visit so many places without hitchhiking and camping. Nothing bad ever happened to us and people's generosity and kindness blew my mind. On a Sunday (shops closed) in southern France near Cavalaire-sur-Mer, we realized that we only had canned food left but lost our can opener - we met two people who had a can opener and a few honey melons but no knife. We all shared the food and the tools and had the best time. Camping world sounds great! : )
Tyler and Todd the outdoor shower is gorgeous! So peaceful and relaxing! And I love the way you edited the flame to cover up your bits and pieces! 😍🔥❤❤
My favorite camping memory was when I was about 7yrs old. My mom and dad decided to take my brother and I camping in the mountains of Colorado. We found a campground on a river and we didn't the first few days fishing, watching the hummingbirds and play games in the evening. One afternoon we went for a hike, and we got up to a point where we could lookout across the mountains for a long distance. A thunderstorm was rolling in and we sat and watched the lightning for probably 20 to 30 minutes. I was so amazed because I had never seen a storm roll in. from such a vantage point. It was exciting a trip was just so amazing. I think that trip is why I still love camping and exploring the outdoors.
My favourite camping memory happened in upstate NY about 20 years ago. It was my women's group. I took a wok, heated a rock, and sit it in the wok to make a night candle and small fire. There were a few cabins and everyone had a buddy except moi. I slept in a tent a few hundred feet from the main house. I was a little concerned because of the night howling outside my tent. I finally fell asleep. In the morning I awoke to a furry something sleeping beside me. It was only then that I realized why I was so warm! As I stirred, the animal left. Later I was told there was a huge dog who lived nearby who often wandered onto the property. I guess that was my buddy for the night. In the morning we bathed in the lake, made an outdoor fire and shared a meal before leaving for Manhattan!
Never underestimate the perfect placement of a tiki torch! 🚿 You did an amazing job on your shower in the woods and on this video! So glad your construction supervisor, Eddie, was there to keep you two on track! 😂 Be well and have a fantabulous week! 💓
My all time favourite memories are from camping with my Dad growing up. We went to so many places in the Kawartha region of Ontario, always back country, the kind where you sleep in a tent, tie your food to a tree to at least 10 feet off the ground so bears wouldn't bite, and do your business in a hole in the ground on a wooden "thunder box". But my favourite memory of camping would be going in early November when the weather was getting cold. The lake wasn't quite frozen all the way, but the edges of the lake would be icy in the mornings when we woke up. Our favourite spot was Crab Lake in Apsley Ontario. It was only one canoe portage from Wolf lake. The best part was that nobody wanted to camp this time of year because of the cold weather, so we had the whole lake to ourselves. The wildlife felt like they were always only footsteps away, from beavers swimming across the still open water, to the wolves howling at the brilliant glowing moon in the evening, to bald eagles landing on the rocky cliffs beside you. Sitting by the fire only 6 inches away just to stay warm, and getting up in the middle of the night to do some jumping jacks to stop feeling like we were going to freeze to death! Okay, I know this may sound terrible to most people, but it was incredible being out there. The stars were endless and the shooting starts were like fireballs in the sky. There is also a giant hill they call Blueberry hill that you can go up to see endless views of trees and surrounding lakes. No other humans in sight. If all of this experience wasn't complete serenity, peace, stillness, and connection with nature, I don't know what else could be!
I loved camping as a Child. My partner and I are RVing this summer and we are going to the whale route in Quebec. Thanks for creating such amazing content!
We bought a 1975 chevy van with a bed in the back last summer. It opened up a new world for us. We got out every weekend camping and went on a week long trip from Edmonton down to Waterton. It was one of the best trips I've ever been on. The van made us take things slow and enjoy the journey. And Watertown was so incredibly beautiful! I highly recommend anyone and everyone visits there. We went golfing there as well, best golf course I've ever been too. The views are breathtaking. Can't wait to get back out this summer with our perfect van! I've been binge watching all of your guys videos, love your content and the videography is awesome! My fiancé and I hope to buy land some day as well and have an animal sanctuary. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you'll do next with your land. Ps. Your pups melt my heart
Wow, just wow! The end of this video really touch my heart🥺 perfect chemistry, amazing video skills and the music?!? so needed that! Can’t wait for the next video. Love from Sweden❤️
We're still in absolute shock at just how beautiful the shower turned out, it's truly the most magical sound of the crickets and frogs, especially after dark. Hope you enjoyed the video and make sure you leave a comment on the video so you're entered in the $500 giftcard. Have an amazing week, see you sunday!
Hello u gorgeous couple ♥
Completely. Amazing. It must feel like a luxury spa treatment after Rubbermaid tub bathing! Congratulations. (And I’ll be singing along with your anti-bug song, Tyler...so funny!)
Omg you two are so amazing. That shower is absolutely beautiful!
My friends & I carried an old trampoline piece by piece 1/4 of mile through a huge corn field & woods set up by a creek and put a big tent on top it best party's ever 😉 we lived in it practically all summer even carried in a lawn mower 😂
Is there anything you two can’t do? Each week I’m amazed at your creativity and tenacity. You both rock!
I want to go camping at your homestead....I am a 73 year old lady and for the first time in my life I want to meet y’all and finally get rid of all my preconceived ideas of what constitutes love. It is obvious to me how much you love each other!....you have already changed many of my concepts of life....thank you!
Beautiful Pamela and congrats. An open mind makes for an open heart...or is it the other way around? 💜
This is absolutely heart-warming and almost brought me to tears. Thank you for being open to love in all forms. It speaks to the goodness in your heart.
Awwwww! :-D
I’m 71 but I was luckier. For 40 odd years my bff was a gay man. He and his lover became my sons Uncles. Neither of them lived to see gay marriage and a world where you didn’t have to hide parts of your lives. I watch these and I always wish he were sitting with me.
Pamela oh yeah me too. If I have any problems these guys are the best to give us a hand, as I am in love with Todd.
My husband had just recently come home from Viet Nam, and I had just given birth to our first baby. He was suffering from PTSD ( which wasn’t recognized as a condition yet), and was having a very difficult time adjusting to civilian life. We lived in Virginia on a Marine Corp base, and There happened to be a beautiful lake that was a part of the base property. We decided that we had to get away from civilization, so we headed out to the lake to go camping. When we got to the lake, the entire dock had broken off from the anchors on shore and was floating free.We thought it might be a cool idea to set up camp out on this dock. We erected our tent, set up our barbecuer, and arranged the things that we had brought for food for ourselves and our 2 week old baby. Once we had gotten away from the shore and was out of prying eyes, We spent 2 whole weeks stripping not only our clothes, but the walls that had materialized around our minds and hearts as well. floating around on this crystal clear lake, fishing for dinner, enjoying each other’s company, and bonding as a new little family-just being truly intimate with one another. The days were sunny and warm, the nights were balmy, beautiful with stars that matched the sparkle of thousands of fireflies.
Seeing the net that you have set up reminded me of the net that Ray put up over the opening of our tent We were 20 and 21, and are now in our 70’s; we still talk about that magical camp out as the cornerstone, the beginning, of a sometimes long and difficult process to hope and healing from wounds of that terrible war.
To this day, one of favorite things to do is gather up our two dogs and head to the woods.
Sorry this was so long, but there was no other way to tell the story without telling all the story😏.
PS I just love your channel ♥️
Thank you so so much for sharing this memory with us Lola, truly beautiful!
Hi Lola - congrats you won the $500 Camping World gift card, if you could send us an instagram message or an e-mail so we can get that over to you!
Loved your story Lola. A friend's family owned some acreage up in some forested sm mts/ good sized hills in Arkansas. It would take us a while on red dirt roads to get there from the nearest town. There were 5 or 6 of us that spent over a month doing rustic camping. Nobody lived close so the only sounds we heard were of nature and ourselves. We were next to a good sized creek and a natural spring where we got our water. One of my favorite experiences ever! In fact we did it a second time only this time there was also a sweet little camping trailer his dad had hauled in and also a roofed two sided latrine in a private space. It's pretty special to be doing your business in a comfortable way and still be a part of nature. We floated on the creek, went exploring, cooked over an outdoor fire and just lived simply. It's pretty darn magical! We were late h.s. and 1st yr community college then and I'm around your age, too, Lola. Good memories to think on and share!
Beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this, so beautiful. Tears in my eyes! Wishing you and yours and all who read this love and light 💓
The bird singing at 11:07 is a male Wood Thrush. I also think their song is one of the most beautiful in the Northeast. They are crepuscular {most active at dawn/dusk). Enjoy Todd.
Hermit Thrush is much the same, both sing a beautiful song.
Based on the location and comparing to other recordings, I'm going to say Hermit Thrush for the bird ID 🙂.
Tyler, your opening intro lifted me up. I thank you for that.
So so happy it did...happy to root for you and give you a reminder anytime you need it!
Ditto, I’m having a hard time lately and your words reminded me to keep my chin up, thank you Tyler! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
me too...needed to hear it
I started crying because I’m having a very hard time these days, only partly due to Covid. Thank you. Like others , I needed to hear it too. I just adore you all. ❤️❤️❤️
I feel the same xx
And the sensual award for 2021 goes to Todd and Tyler-sights, sounds, compassion, commitment to each other, story telling, problem solving and a love of adventure. Well done ! Thanks for taking us along.
One of the most important things which your videos communicate is that Gaymen can learn construction, mechanical and electrical skills so that we are not dependent on straight men. You never actually say that, but then, you don't have to. You just demonstrate the way to independence. A very powerful message. Thank you.
My mom taught me cooking and sewing, and my dad taught me mechanics and carpentry. Gay guys can do it all.
I agree with you, but I think everyone can and should learn those skills that are supposedly _gender-specific_ so that none of us need to be dependent on anyone.
This is so true!
I learnt almost nothing from my father, but sewing from my grandma, while my mother taught me reading and writing (long before school). Now I teach technical stuff to IT professionals and am a handyman around the house and caravan.
Nothing to do with sexuality.. we are all men. ☺️
Tyler, it's a stiff competition but I think the shower scene is the most beautiful thing you've ever filmed. Truly took my breath away the way the lights caught the steam, the droplets on the mirror, etc.
Thank you, James 💛
Um there is a light in the wrong place. Lol.
Great video.
I’m still so curious who’s top, btm, and verse 🤔😇
Best video so far especially the showering sciences 👌🏻
Won't lie. Came here to see the shower scenes. But genuinely I was moved as it looks so beautiful and peaceful to shower outside like that.
doesn't get more peaceful than this!
Me two kinda but there’s always a problem when it comes to Tyler with a shirt off . Todd don’t want us to see that hairy chest . Hmmmm But Todd on the other hand Tyler will show his Man . Lol looks great you two . Y’all live like I wish we would have done when we where young . We both old and broke down now so do all you can now . Protect those Backs because when you make one mistake it’s not good , I know I fell on my left hip on the job back in August and it ain’t been right since . Y’all make my back hurt watching you push that wheelbarrow of rocks .lol
Same here
@@bartsexton1652 I too enjoy seeing a man with chest hair 😍 Your reference to taking care of your back really hit home as I'm scheduled for spinal surgery this Wednesday
Hairy butts are my fav 😛😛😛
Every camping trip is so much fun. When I was a kid, us kids would sleep in the tent, my parents slept in a built on tent on top of the station wagon. One place in Kansas, there were so many frog sounds and other sounds, we were so scared, then it started to rain, so it was the perfect invitation to all climb into the car. When my husband and I bought a camper trailer, we went to Colorado, and the night that it rained and was so magical to hear the rain on the metal roof. I loved it. There were so many hummingbirds that, I hung a feeder. The hummers would fight over it. We were camped by a river, and on the the other side was a hill, where we saw a mama bear and her cub. That was a great week long trip. But Truly every camping trip is so much fun. Even if it’s just for the weekend near home. Love your shower, really magical! ❤️
...that was a great morning speech, Tyler, you are so right! 👍🏻🌞🌻
از ایران هستم.همیشه در زمانی که کسی نباشه دزدکی ویدئوهای شما رو میبینم.چقدر خوشحال هستم از آشنایی با شما 😍💋
I about 12yrs old and my dad rented a 15’ trailer for a long weekend and we had the best time ever. From that til today I have been hooked. I’ve had trailers, class c, and class A. I’m 71 yrs. old now and I’m back to a trailer. This has always makes me happy to just hook up and run away for a bit. I love you boys 💙
Tyler, thank you for your opening comments. Very much appreciated.
My heart
Thank you truly Tyler
I am struggling! your kind words
Ment so much 💞
Love you both 💝
an the boy's 🐾🐾
Love the out side shower
You two are amazing 🎊
I hope you know how much you
Inspire many of us!
Your strength and confidence
Is just the best 🥰
Stay strong and well please
We need you!
I met my husband camping with the boy scouts. We took those boys camping every single month for about 8 years. Missouri has some very beautiful camping grounds and has dedicated funds for its conservation program. Since we married 21 years ago we have tent camped all over the United States. We even got interested in reenactment camping from the French Indian War to the revolutionary War. Now we camp and sell historical maps from the period.
We are in our seventies now and treasure all our memories. I love watching you guys. I raised 5 sons and my husband has three. They all went through boyscouts and loved camping. We have wonderful rivers to float and great fishing. Love being and outdoor person. Love watching you guys build a life you love.
Again, the sheer quality of this editing goshhh, the shower at the end with the sounds of the forest awakening at night in the background was almost surreal
That was the most beautiful magical shower I have ever seen in my life the end of this video put tears of joy in my heart for you guys
Thank you for sharing this Mother Nature magical moment with us
❤️
Not even a minute and a half into the video and I’m already crying. Thank you Tyler! I needed that reminder!
Loved the shots of Tyler and Todd in the shower!!! THRST TRAPS!!!
That shower looks magical
Thank you Tyler & Todd for the love you send out to your subscribers in your thoughtful wishes for our well-being and in the BEAUTIFUL videos you share with us each week. I feel so thankful that I’m part of your video virtual family! The love & caring you have for each other (& Charlie & Eddie) transmits over the miles that separate us all and boosts the flame of love in our own hearts. And this week, your thoughts, the videography, the music, and the romantic feeling evoked by the shower scene was so much my heart ❤️ ached with love for you. It was so beautiful I could have cried!
I live in California near the coast and have enjoyed outdoor showers for a few years now but your shower has made me envious. Somehow I’m going to have to plumb some hot water to it. I think I’ll follow your lead and install a separate propane fired heater.
My favorite camping memory is from my youth when we visited Yosemite, watched and listened to nature, and watched the now forbidden Firefalls.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us each week! ❤️👍🏻
Place I want to go camping : Tyler and Todd's future RV airbnb camping spot.
Hey! I grew up in a household that enjoyed camping across the western United States and Canada. Those were epic month long trips for us, but my favorite camping memory was when I was about 13-14 -15 and each summer my parents would take our tent camper and a small sailboat and set up camp for us (the children) at the local state park for about 3 weeks. We would invite our friends to come up and stay with us. Only at dinner would one of the parents bring us supper and extra supplies, but other than those visits we were on our own. We were camped on the waterfront of a small lake (no motors on boats) with tall pine trees surround the campsite. For three weeks we did nothing but swim, sail, eat and sleep. Today thinking back to those times, I can't believe that our parents would allow us to stay out there without adult supervision. I imagine they needed the time away from all of us! Times are very different today.
I really do enjoy your channel and of the projects that you do. What great imaginations that you both have. Stay safe guys.
Good choice with the thumbnail 😃
Favorite camping: With my red-haired son when he was six. Just the two of us in a State Park at the end of Long Island. We lay on our backs and watched the stars come out, one by one. Thankful for no light pollution.
Near the ocean. The rhythmic sound of the surf lulling us to sleep.
Your eye for editing and cinematography... it's just -- wow! Now, I realize you might have a secret editor, hiding off camera somewhere (the "boys," perhaps? lol) but from what you've said and revealed about your schedule and division of labor, I think it's really you. You both improve every day with your sense of artistry. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I completely agree. Every week the videos get better and better. No pressure, Tyler! 😁 You are doing an amazing job!
We didn’t have much money growing up, so our vacations were travelling to one amusement park per year and we would tent camp nearby. As a family we didn’t do much travelling, but these camping trips were the highlight of our year. To this day, I love going tent camping with my kids. Getting away from everything, enjoying simpler things, being outdoors, campfires and friends/family. Thanks for making me laugh every episode. I loved the strategically placed torches at the end today. 💜💜
If you want to get to know which birds you hear, I will recommend the app BirdNET. It records the song and analyzes it. Quite good as long as there isn't too much disturbance around.
Now back to watching the rest of your video. 😊
Hey guys-always look forward to seeing your progress each week! You are creating a beautiful spot for your new home. I live in Denver Colorado and recognize that bird call-we always enjoy them here. They are meadow larks. Such a soothing sound. It will be an awesome experience for you to enjoy the new shower and I look forward to seeing it in operation. Love to you both! Gary
@@garyharris7323 eastern meadow lark doesn’t usually get as far north east as Nova Scotia, at least not according to my bird books. It sound much more like a hermit thrush or perhaps wood thrush to me.
My oldest turned 10 this year and her lifelong dream has been to own a camper! We have watched all kinds of van life and camper UA-cam channels together over the years lol
Well I found a beat up little 1982 camper last week and put it in the backyard for her. I couldn’t even start fixing it up before she moved in 😂 she’s been camping in it for almost a week now with her iPad and jackery. It’s just the cutest thing!
Haha, loved the strategically placed tiki torch by the shower.😉🍷 It (the shower setting) looked amazing! 👌🏼
Very good job. I think the bird that was singing in the background was a blackbird.
Best camping memory: When my son was 8 years old I took him camping with my friends and their 7 year old. We hiked to a very rustic cabin on the side of a mountain in New Hampshire, US (operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club). It was a magical experience. The kids learned how to purify water from a small stream nearby and enjoyed scrambling on rocks, gathering sticks for the fire, and just being kids. We played cards late into the night in front of the woodstove. I savored my morning coffee on the front porch while reading and watching the mist rise. My 8 year old is 21 now and my heart is full when he shares his experiences hiking and in the mountains. The magic never ends.
When you guys put a plan together there’s no stopping you from creating it with a little bit of magic dust. That night shower scene was EPIC!!!!
In June of 1963, my family packed up a green Rambler from where we lived in Anchorage Alaska, with my 3 older sibs in the backseat, and my parents and I upfront. We travelled down the old ALCAN Highway to Montana to see family, and then on to Wisconsin where we were settling down. My Dad had an old Army issue 10 person tent and sleeping bags for all of us that he won in a crap game with his infantry buddies when they came home from fighting in the South Pacific in 1945-46. We had the best time camping along the way. We had adventures, great food cooked on a campfire, and even a visit by bears one night. We scared them away making noise, though we were a bit shook-up! I’m 66 now, and treasure the memories that were made on that trip with my family.
Guys, the tiki torches around the shower reminded me... there are some oil burning torches that have mosquito repellent oils, including some natural oils as well... something to look for!! Love ya!
I use those and they work pretty well . I’ got mine at Lowe’s
I live in Michigan where the mosquitoes are always horrendous, until i found the repellent oil to use in my tiki torches & the mosquitoes are nearly obsolete.
They work SO well! We filled ours with citronella!
Hello from Indiana!!! I have been watching you boys for two weeks now and just want to thank you for all the smiles you have brought to this Midwest lady ☺️
Never stop being your awesome selves!!
My two favorite men in the woods I’m so happy to see you both and I think you’re just a little bit nuts but always fun and good for you you’re doing what you want and that is the way to live. That last sequence of you guys in the shower was filmed beautifully and kind a hot
based on the timing of your content it looks like someone couldn't wait and skipped ahead 👀
Ditto!! Well done on the shower and the angles :-P
You two make me smile, I am a old woman and I do not smile a lot, but watching you two really makes me smile, thank you , can not wait for your next vlog.
Hi Guys!!! My favorite camping memory is taking my elderly and blind Bichon dog Rico and seeing him enjoy the outside and and lounge by the river without a care in the world. His goofy toothless smile brighten my day! 🐶🐶🐶🐶
My favorite camping memory is my 3 night solo kayak experience in lakeland Provincial Recreational area near Edmonton. Traveling solo with my VW Vanagon, I did kayaked with portage by myself and upon return back to my car, I found a note. A lovely Canadian lady had locked my car and left me a note to tell me about it. I went to see them and thanked her for her efforts. To top it off, she invited me to freshly caught lake perch which I will never forget. Keep in mind, coming from the US, had this happened outside of Canada, my VW Vanagon would have vanished. A fond Canadian memory I will cherish forever and I cannot wait to return north of the border as soon as legally permissible to camp again. Love your show.
Can’t wait to watch our favs!!! 😍
Wow, a shower can bring so much relaxation. It feels so good. Water is so healing for our body. 🥰❤️
Thanks Tyler I needed to hear that today 🤗
I love those chairs
I think you both are a good example on what a couple should be i know theres times when days are hard and people can be judgmental dont listen to them people have the right to be happy with the person they love and thats what us parents want for thier child to be happy .by wotrking together and support ing each other you can make your dream paradise come true love you both be strong and dont listen to those haters sending lots of hugs and prayers sweeties tc your friend over the web shirley m hernandez yuba city ca
You guys are so awsome and talented!! I'm living vicariously through the two of you. And the boys. And thanks for the inspiration. It's really getting tough, but watching your videos really makes me happy. Thank you guys! Shanta you stay. 😁❤🇨🇦
Thanks so much Jo Ann, happy we can be apart of your week!
Shanta you stay =D
My best camping memory is from camping under the stars along the Kern River in Central California on a bug free night with just a light sleeping bag and waking up at 3am to see the center of the milky way visible above me. It’s the only time I’ve seen it clearly without a long exposure photo taken someplace very dark. It was a perfect moment of warm summer night air on my face, the sound of the river rapids and a hooting owl, and a swirl of unimaginably beautiful stars overhead. It was my 50th birthday and I will never forget that perfect moment.
I also don’t think I will ever forget that fire-crotch shot of naked Todd ,or Tyler’s perfect moment smile, while showering under the stars. Good things happen in nature under the stars. 😉
I never saw such a great "can do" attitude. You boys are sheer inspiration. BUT darn that candle that got in the way when the shower worked. x
For this old lesbian.....it was perfect. Love you boys.
My wife and I camped on our honeymoon... best camping experience all along the coast of Oregon and northern California. This was 35 years ago. Seems like last year! Thank you for what you do. We live in Eastern Washington. ~
You're amazing. I have been really struggling recently with various aspects of my life. I can't really see how my future is going to be in a few years time but you guys have really helped me see that my future is mine to make and that there is hope for me. I know one meagre comment isn't much but if you do see this, every Sunday, I feel less alone for 20 mins. It means everything that you post videos. Thank you so so much xx
Ontario Canada in high school from the USA. Canoeing, portaging, camping. You could drink the water from the lakes and rivers it was so clean and glacier fed. The mosquitos, aggressive but stopped at some point at night and one of my school mates woke me up to sit up on a rock to see the milky way with him. I will never forget that gesture. Camping anywhere else but this place never lived up. It was in a national forest with no planes or anything. Two days in and out if you got hurt so we got first aid and safety instructions before we set off. See the world as it was meant to be. Great thanks to our French-Canadian guides who trained us first then started us off with our guides across what I think was Lake Batchuan? maybe. It was rough canoeing to the other side to get the trip started. I just remember it was one rough windy lake and i swear a couple of guides passed us twice in the same canoe encouraging all of us to dig in! It was so windy you could not even hear the person in the front.
Love the new shower setup. Those mosquitoes though are insane! I live aboard a boat so everyday is my version of camping. Listening to the ducks splash outside, otters swimming by and birds chirping in the distance is my version of heaven and renewal!
You are very sweet. I love you two and your doggies. You make me smile. Take care. 💫🦋🐾
Thank you for your beautiful intro Tyler, you touched my heart. Man you guys are such hard workers and have created so many amazing things on your land. This shower though, its a game changer!! You should be so proud of yourselves.
I'll say it again...you two are AMAZING!!! The shower design is unbelievable and having it surrounded by nature is a dream I've had for so long! I absolutely love it! My favorite camping memory...I had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and was about to have surgery and was unsure what the outcome would be. We took our grandson camping in different camp sites over a week and a half before surgery. One was rustic, one VERY rustic lol, another nice but the last one (where we stayed the longest) was a kid centered one called Jellystone! There were so many activities for our grandson and it was SUCH a nice park...we loved it! Thankfully the surgery went well, the tumor benign and all is now well!
I was 15yo, my mother had passed and i was living with my older sister and her 4 kids. I rolled up a couple quilts and bottled water. I brought my 6yo nephew along and we walked to a hedgerow between fields. We had a small fire to roast corn over, it was delicious. We watched the stars, told stories and slept the sleep of the innocent.
Touchingly sweet. Thanks.
What a beautiful memory! Fire, stars, and open-air a restoratives.
You guys are such gems! Ok favorite camping memory:
Hiked 18kms to Kalalau beach on Kauai and set up camp in the most beautiful secluded spot we’ve ever been! After 2 days in paradise, a hurricane level storm hit. We were trapped in our tent for 36 hours straight while rivers of water washed around us. When the storm finally passed, we realized the trail back out was washed away and we were stranded with other campers on the beach! 2 days later we were finally rescued by the coast guard that sent helicopters to take us back to civilization, and just in time as we were running out of food! Scary but amazing memories were made!
Just finished Vanwives now am here wow how I love Sundays 💃💃
awww yeaaaa Sunday Squad!!
Thanks for the video. But bugs, auuugh!
I live in a RV but stationary. I just enjoy it more Than I ever have thought. I meet the most beautiful people ❤️. You guys are great❤️❤️
I am 48yo. A bucket list dream is to camp overnight on Mt. Rainier. I have been exercising for over a year and hope to achieve my goal this summer.
I hope you can achieve your dream Josie, it's one of the most breathtaking places we've ever been!
@@tylerandtodd I have children in that area due to the Army base. I fall more in love with the mountains each time I go. You home place is beautiful. Good luck.
My absolute favorite camping memories is a little town called Greer in Arizona. It's small town of 150 residents, has man made lakes, a campground with hot showers, flushing toilets, water/electric hook ups and an outdoor movie theater. Tons of hiking trailers, fishing, horseback riding and a few good eateries. My family and I would spend two weeks every summer and sometimes friends would join us. Each night after dinner, we would sit around the fire talking and made s'mores. The days were filled with fishing, hiking, naps, games, arts and crafts and rare times indoors waiting out a rain storm. No TV, no electronics and no phones.
Outdoor off grid shower was great! That could be a new business for you two. Off grid glamp living consultation.
I'm 50 years old & I've never been camping--I have a bug phobia. Yes i know I'm a big wussy, but I live vicariously thru you love 🐦s. Gorgeous shower scene montage! Love you guys...😘😘😘😘
"Let it be me." Indeed. My camping days are over but if I could, I'd go down to the Crow River that ran through my families farm in Manannah, MN for another memorable time in the woods. As a boy I spent many wonderful days there. Cheers boys.
Peppermint or lavender oil is a natural mosquitoe repellent and when you mix either with water you can spray it around the area or on yourself to keep them away. My favorite camping memory was waking up one morning with a doe sticking her head in the tent.
Been hearing that!! We're thinking of maybe planting some of those types of plants around the land as well to hopefully help!
@@tylerandtodd citronella is good to plant as well and does Ok in planters. The mint should be very productive in a wall planter for the outdoor shower and dried for tea. Lavender can be invasive so watch where you put that.
My husband and I would like to take our adopted daughter on her first camping trip to Hocking Hills Ohio. It is were we use to go as kids. They are caves, rivers and great walking trails. We thought about taking our cats, but I thing they would not enjoy it as much as your boys do. Thank you for being a happy part of my week. Sincerely Senior Parents!
Love this, thanks for sharing! By the way, we’ve watched so many amazing homes and tours in that area. Some pretty unreal real estate in Hocking Hills!
I'm currently camping/living in Las Vegas in my 16 foot RV due to school for the past year and a half. I plan on camping next to the Hudson River for my next assignment elsewhere. Meanwhile, I have been partially remodeling, and I admit that this channel has inspired me to do more than I have ever imagined. Thank you guys!! You are amazing!
Love this so much, thanks for saying that!
@@tylerandtodd I can't thank you guys enough!
When I was 11 years old I went camping for my first and only time so far to Yosemite. I had the best time ever. My dad bought a mobile home but he only went to Louisiana
his home state. I would love to win and now that I'm an adult and looking into owning some land and a Tiny Home this would just be over the top. I would Love,Love,Love to go camping again. 👍👍
Oh my goodness, Tyler’s intro and the closing montage were wonderful. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the whole video as always, but...........
So special to shower outside. Breathing smoke from fired in area. Thank you for sharing your happiness.
0:45 that blue sky and forest view is breathtaking!
You guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you for welcoming so many into your lovely life. 🌈❤️💥
That's a Hermit Thrush! It's the state bird of Vermont, where I live. I LOVE their song. It's pure magic! ❤️❤️❤️
Due to illness I've been off line for too many weeks. Yours is the first I've seen, so thank you for the kind words. I hope your days are grand.
That was a beautiful video from beginning to end!!! I loved the videography as well as the music you selected and that outdoor shower is absolutely AMAZIING!! I can only imagine how much joy it brings you to have that available to you every day. GREAT JOB!!! You guys never cease to amaze me at your talents and abilities and I just love how the two of you work together to bring your ideas to fruition. So happy for your family and as always, I can’t wait to see what next weeks video brings.
As for my favorite camping memory, it was when my family went camping with my cousins in Banff National Park back in the late 60’s.
Just be around them an the history of mother earth. To listen to them speak as the wind blows .that would be my dream come true my tent near a creek. With nature an to bring some wildflower seeds to put out when i have to leave to thank mother earth for sharing a beautiful journey. Much kindness and happiness always guys
joe/Louisiana 🐕🐕👬🌍🙏❤❤🥰🍷🍷
I don‘t even know what it feels like to take a hot shower in the forest, but judging from how you seemed to enjoy it, magic does happen in the dark, in between the trees when no one is watching. Thank you for taking all of us on this wet and glistening journey across the land and your bodies. 😉
Hope that one day you can experience it George...it's truly amazing!
@@tylerandtodd I‘ll try buying a plot of land next to yours. That way we can hold a shower show. 😎
As a kid my family used to camp near Gettysburg, PA and spend our days walking the battlefields and hiking in the mountains. When my kids were young, I took them to Western Maryland where we would camp and hike in the Cumberland Gap and along the C&O Canal. Now that my kids have all fledged, I'm ready to downsize and move to a camper and wander the US and Canada. You guys are so much fun to watch and are such an inspiration. Thank you for letting us see a little bit into your lives.
The shower is absolutely gorgeous
You guys are so natural and wonderfully normal. Your man skills debunk all stereotypes. Very refreshing
Wow, you guys!!!! That shower set up is absolutely magical. Great job and so inspiring.
What a wonderful shower in such an awesome environment. High drama - showering @night in the great outdoors!
💥💥💥💕💕💕❤️💕❤️💕💕❤️💕💕💕💥💥💥
I was reading some of the comments guys and it’s a nice reminder to reassure you both how much your inspiration, work ethic and compassion supports us all during what is a difficult time world-wide. The strategic location of the torch was a nice editing touch 😏. Many of us so look forward to your videos and this small glimpse into your life. Heaps of love and huge hugs from Australia.
My ultimate camping destination is Father Hennepin State Park on Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota. Its a small place, not many people go there, but it the most peaceful I've ever felt while walking thru the woods. Going up to Pope Point and sitting to watch the waves crash on the rocks with my dog... cant get better than that.
Great video Guy's!! didn't know we would end up watching a little skin-a-max this evening. VERY HOT 🔥🔥🔥🚒🔥🧯🔥🔥🔥
Welcome back fellas!! Always the best part of Sunday.
We raised our 5 kids camping in the Smoky Mountains of TN...they’re all grown now and we enjoy doing the same with our grands! Favorite campground? Cades Cove...favorite memory? Waking up one morning to a black bear that has wandered into the opened door (that opened INWARD) of the ladies room...managing to have it close behind her and being trapped! It was def an experience watching the park staff figure that one out!! Lol! The repairs were minimal at least! 🤣
Every Sunday you gift us with creativity and sweetness, productivity and thoughtfulness. Thank you.
THIS SHOWER IS A-MAZINNNNN guys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😻
Wow - nothing beats a HOT outdoor shower! Such thoughtful and beautiful design! My partner and I are always inspired by how you two face and overcome each challenge; the homestead you both are building is truly remarkable. Your videos are a true highlight of our Sundays and always leave us feeling charged to tackle the week ahead!
I loved camping with my Mom when I was a kid and having that quality one-on-one time with her 💙
Why am I crying at the end? Such a beautiful outro! I miss showering outdoors when we camp!
My favorite camping memory is hitchhiking in central and southern Europe with my brother and staying at camp sites, rest stops or wherever it was more or less legal. We would not have been able to visit so many places without hitchhiking and camping. Nothing bad ever happened to us and people's generosity and kindness blew my mind. On a Sunday (shops closed) in southern France near Cavalaire-sur-Mer, we realized that we only had canned food left but lost our can opener - we met two people who had a can opener and a few honey melons but no knife. We all shared the food and the tools and had the best time. Camping world sounds great! : )
Tyler and Todd the outdoor shower is gorgeous! So peaceful and relaxing! And I love the way you edited the flame to cover up your bits and pieces! 😍🔥❤❤
My favorite camping memory was when I was about 7yrs old. My mom and dad decided to take my brother and I camping in the mountains of Colorado. We found a campground on a river and we didn't the first few days fishing, watching the hummingbirds and play games in the evening. One afternoon we went for a hike, and we got up to a point where we could lookout across the mountains for a long distance. A thunderstorm was rolling in and we sat and watched the lightning for probably 20 to 30 minutes. I was so amazed because I had never seen a storm roll in. from such a vantage point. It was exciting a trip was just so amazing. I think that trip is why I still love camping and exploring the outdoors.
My favourite camping memory happened in upstate NY about 20 years ago. It was my women's group. I took a wok, heated a rock, and sit it in the wok to make a night candle and small fire. There were a few cabins and everyone had a buddy except moi. I slept in a tent a few hundred feet from the main house. I was a little concerned because of the night howling outside my tent. I finally fell asleep. In the morning I awoke to a furry something sleeping beside me. It was only then that I realized why I was so warm! As I stirred, the animal left. Later I was told there was a huge dog who lived nearby who often wandered onto the property. I guess that was my buddy for the night. In the morning we bathed in the lake, made an outdoor fire and shared a meal before leaving for Manhattan!
Sounds like you had the best buddy! 🐾
Camping with many generations of the family is what I live for!!!
Never underestimate the perfect placement of a tiki torch! 🚿 You did an amazing job on your shower in the woods and on this video! So glad your construction supervisor, Eddie, was there to keep you two on track! 😂 Be well and have a fantabulous week! 💓
My all time favourite memories are from camping with my Dad growing up. We went to so many places in the Kawartha region of Ontario, always back country, the kind where you sleep in a tent, tie your food to a tree to at least 10 feet off the ground so bears wouldn't bite, and do your business in a hole in the ground on a wooden "thunder box". But my favourite memory of camping would be going in early November when the weather was getting cold. The lake wasn't quite frozen all the way, but the edges of the lake would be icy in the mornings when we woke up. Our favourite spot was Crab Lake in Apsley Ontario. It was only one canoe portage from Wolf lake. The best part was that nobody wanted to camp this time of year because of the cold weather, so we had the whole lake to ourselves. The wildlife felt like they were always only footsteps away, from beavers swimming across the still open water, to the wolves howling at the brilliant glowing moon in the evening, to bald eagles landing on the rocky cliffs beside you. Sitting by the fire only 6 inches away just to stay warm, and getting up in the middle of the night to do some jumping jacks to stop feeling like we were going to freeze to death! Okay, I know this may sound terrible to most people, but it was incredible being out there. The stars were endless and the shooting starts were like fireballs in the sky. There is also a giant hill they call Blueberry hill that you can go up to see endless views of trees and surrounding lakes. No other humans in sight. If all of this experience wasn't complete serenity, peace, stillness, and connection with nature, I don't know what else could be!
I loved camping as a Child. My partner and I are RVing this summer and we are going to the whale route in Quebec. Thanks for creating such amazing content!
We bought a 1975 chevy van with a bed in the back last summer. It opened up a new world for us. We got out every weekend camping and went on a week long trip from Edmonton down to Waterton. It was one of the best trips I've ever been on. The van made us take things slow and enjoy the journey. And Watertown was so incredibly beautiful! I highly recommend anyone and everyone visits there. We went golfing there as well, best golf course I've ever been too. The views are breathtaking. Can't wait to get back out this summer with our perfect van! I've been binge watching all of your guys videos, love your content and the videography is awesome! My fiancé and I hope to buy land some day as well and have an animal sanctuary. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you'll do next with your land. Ps. Your pups melt my heart
