It must have rained a lot during the night. The area you plan to camp in the future sure flooded. My vote is for anywhere. You always find great sites. There are some big bugs in Florida. I’d recommend sleeping in a bug net. They have the same spiders as we do here in Louisiana. You may not be afraid of spiders, but I’m not fond of wolf spiders half the size of tarantulas crawling on me at night. In the pine forests here we have tarantulas and scorpions.
Sam you are the rain camping king. Hope your back feels better brother. I also suffer from lower back pain. Definitely keep doing the yoga and stretching. Love your videos!
I watched your first 15 oldest videos then jumped to this newest one... light years in improvement! Camera quality, camera angles and b roll footage, knot education, cooked food rather than from a can, your personality has came through on and on and on. Good job and keep up the good improving work!
Son, thank you for bringing Pa the wireless charger in the hospital. It was a lifesaver. In the middle of all your own stuff, you still came and sat with him for 2 hours. Your such a diamond son, and Mrs bananas too. Love you both
You jinxed yourself not being sure if you wanted to eat all of the Hamburger Helper. The wood spirits decided to take it all. You're definitely a better man than me, because I would've been raging at the fire hahahahaha.
Oh no Sam....Oops No fun to loose most of your dinner. Thank goodness for plan B. Ms. Bananas takes good care of you. Sorry about the back issues. I have struggled for the past 2 yrs with sciatic issues. Chiropractor has helped me the most. Beautiful Trumpeter Swans Sam. I would enjoy anything you put out for us. God Bless you and Ms. Bananas. Hope you are having fun in Florida. Can't wait to see what's next.
Man I love your videos, you and Steve Wallis have given me the inspiration to start filing my adventures. Now I have to work up the courage to upload them. Thanks so much for your videos friend.
Anytime I've gone camping it always rains on the last night. Sometimes the whole trip, but always the last night. Might be why I like tarps because they're easier to dry out at home.😊
Sam, You're really one of a kind! It's raining like crazy, it's cold, everything is wet. But still, you're having fun! You're a perfect example on how everyone should be. and you've proved it's possible to start a fire under the rain. Well done!
Enjoyed this video overall, i like your simplicity while dealing with the rain and things that go wrong. To me camping is time away with my thoughts and problems and figuring them out, you always encourage to get back out there. Thanks
Fun rainy video, thank you for sharing Sam. Enjoy your time in Florida, looking forward to seeing a hike. As a fellow man of the woods, that sound was most likely a Bigfoot, or a frog :)
There are so many of your videos where I personally would have thrown everything back in the pack and gone home. Thanks for always sticking it out and reminding us that bad days really aren't that bad.
I hear ya bud! I was super close to packing it in on this one and I do once in a while. Glad I stuck it out though because I really liked how this video turned out. Nice to see ya!
Sam I love your spirit! You’re such a cool guy! Maybe a trip at times but you always handle it.😊 Thank you for the video! Sending lots of love and respect always!!❤
U the Man. I wish I was still young, man I sure miss camping out like that. It just don’t get any better than doing this. A Man will learn to improvise on a lot of things. Nutin like it. Keep up the great work and be safe, GOD BLESS
Great job on the fire... I used to love camping in the rain... I hate having to set up camp in the rain.. lol At my age I don't do it as much anymore. .but I enjoy watching you guys brave the elements. My hat's off to you guys and gals
Another rainy adventure, you're definitely a more dedicated camper than I am, I'd rather camp in 2 feet of snow than steady cold rain! Don't be ashamed to bring a camp chair along on these trips, I never used to in my 20s but as I get older and after the last couple decades of working in warehouses and factories I found my back to be really messed up, I need that back support.
By far this video more than any other that is in this context has caused me anxiety! Getting stuck in the rain like that and having to hunker down is one thing. Going out in it and trying to make the best of it….. no way.! I was just sucked into watching. I couldn’t stop, because I thought it would stop RAINING. But it didn’t!!! All that mud and slop - under a tarp! Next to a BOG!, great job on the fire. 🔥 well done. Wow!
Great video Sam always a pleasure to watch the channel keep up the good work my friend! The fire lighting was awesome btw good job! Hello Mrs Bananas! 😉
Good old rain camping. Something about rain camping is cozy. The mud sucks though. I'm still in the beginning of the video. The portable table would be nice to
You can twist and really open up those fire starters and that might come in handy in tough situations like this video. You didnt give up! Great video as always. ✌️
I believe you set up by a Snipe Nesting Area . Snipes can be found in various types of wet marshy settings including bogs, swamps, wet meadows, and along rivers, coast lines, and ponds. Snipes avoid settling in areas with dense vegetation, but rather seek marshy areas with patchy cover to hide from predators
Dude, when you spilled the food I tried to jump through my phone to save it. Couldn’t figure out why you weren’t eating it off the logs but then shortly realized you had a back up plan. Nice.
Here I am five months later and I had to rewatch this video. I liked it that much, it’s August 31 85° outside hot and muggy so I had to watch this late fall early spring video and I liked it again. Can’t wait for you to post more of the cold and rain, keep on camping
Another good video, enjoyed it. You may already know this, but thought I'd tell you what I've used to start fires in the rain. Find 4 to 6 inch diameter, dead not rotten pine, fir, soft wood, preferably. Cut 12 inch sections. Split with hatchet or knife. The center will be dry as a bone. Split several pencil size slivers. Great help starting fire, when every thing else is wet. Enjoy Florida, it's almost snake weather here in the south, (I'm in Alabama) be watchful and careful.
I highly recommend that you take 2 extra large tarps and connect them together ie I speak from experience. Always take more food and water than you need 😊 we love your videos and look forward to many more ❤❤❤❤
Sam is in heaven when is camping in the rain. Your tarp blends in quite well in that landscape. Try yoga for your back pain. It has helped me tremendously.
In the army , just before a mission, we do something called pre-combat check list / pre-combat inspection, make a list of everything you want on a camping trip , inspect all items , then pack it and your good to go ! I watch a lot of bushcraft videos and all most every time someone forgets something (we’re human) I almost cried when the cup fell over ! , cut the fire wood into 2ft length so you won’t trip on it , it makes no sense to burn a 6ft long branch in the middle Im glad to see you broke out the tyvek sheet :) , it’s a valuable piece of equipment almost no one uses anymore, for your back I recommend a cot , and a good inflatable pad ! I look forward to seeing the next video , Florida will be a challenge so prepare for it 👍🖖⛺️
Your camping is very attractive!🏕️ I was impressed.✨ I thought that the rain was not comfortable.☔️ However, on seeing your camping, I understood that raining camp isn’t bad.🤭 I can be relaxed when I hear a rainy sound.😌 Your video became the splendid hint. It will update my camping.⛺️ I enjoy Japanese beautiful nature, too.🇯🇵🌸🏝️🍁⛄️
Beautiful video brother. Nothing bananas about that. I like to set up a larger, higher tarp to stand under and hang my stuff to dry. If need be, I'll set up a smaller tarp under that for more sleeping protection. Now that I'm 60 years my 3 legged chair comes with me. The comfort is so worth the 4 lbs lol. Sitting under the tarp, listening to the rain is priceless!
hello, sam, just became member, been watching for a spell, i'm the one that suggested putting tennis balls on the feet of your chair . love your vids, keep up the outstanding work , erv.
You should try a stadium seat. It has a back. I have a padded coleman that rolls up to a manageable, portable size. Its super comfy and has a strong back support. Lightweight too. I broke my back in 2 places in my youth and was prescribed yoga by my surgeons to do daily after I healed. Am 60 now and have done almost daily since then. Don’t over-do it tho - work up to it. Strengthen your core to support your back - yoga is fantastic for that!! Sending healing energy! Thanks for the videos! Its hard work!! ✌🏻 and what you hear is a spring peeper ( a tiny tree frog )!
You're the man, Sam. The only other person I watch on UA-cam that manages to light a fire in rain like that is Abel in New Zealand. Good luck in Florida. Hope you don't come across the giant pythons down there.
Brilliant camping Sam. I always enjoy your adventures. Please keep them coming. The sound you heard sounded like ( to me anyway) a male tree frog about the size of the tip of your thumb. Very melodic. I look forward every spring to the sound of spring peepers. I think your potential camp site up on the hill above the stream is a great location. Have fun and enjoy yourself in Florida .

My favorite camping weather and camping videos to watch are rainy ones. You’re making a living off of it, and I’m here for all of it!
Yes!
Agreed! No one is out! Great noise background for sleeping!
I'm saying a prayer for you Mr. Sam Bananas. And I do have to say you lit up that fire like a BOSS!
A rainy camp with humour and smiles. You make it look the most normal pastime. Even lighting a fire with wet wood.
Thankyou
Only somebody who is banana would camp in the rain ….thats why we love you !
Something about gazing into the fire while a soft, gentle rain falls all around yo and hits the tarp -- what an awesome way to mellow out!
It really is!
"Camping in a Prolonged RAIN STORM" could actually be the entire channel's name! 🤣
I think it's a feature, not a bug.😊
And that's why I love it 😊❤
And I would still watch!
Should we start calling him Soaked Sam? I think so! 😁
I love storm videos. Adding to my storm playlist.
It must have rained a lot during the night. The area you plan to camp in the future sure flooded. My vote is for anywhere. You always find great sites. There are some big bugs in Florida.

Yep, frogs making the noise. Welcome to spring!!
Are they called peepers? I was thinking that’s what they were.
Rain doesn't stop Sam from building a fire. In fact Sam Bananas once built a fire under water.
the Chuck Norris of camping. Of course Chuck could just tell the fire to start and the tent would errect it's self 😅 4:56
We should start making up Sam Bananas Facts (a la Chuck Norris Facts).
Sam, your overflowing positivity makes your videos even more beautiful ❤ Thank you so much ❤
Finally Sam doing, what Sam does best. Excellent video.
Son, thank you for bringing Pa the wireless charger in the hospital. It was a lifesaver. In the middle of all your own stuff, you still came and sat with him for 2 hours.
Your such a diamond son, and Mrs bananas too.
Love you both
Sam please keep posting and the camping videos I really appreciate them they make my day 👍

as a fellow sam, this video is bananas and I love it.
As much as I could see myself doing that do you ever feel frightened at night wondering what’s out there watching you 😀
Anytime I've gone camping it always rains on the last night. Sometimes the whole trip, but always the last night.
Might be why I like tarps because they're easier to dry out at home.😊
Sam,

i love rain videos so the fire starting in the rain is fun to watch
Oh man, I felt that “Oh no!” when the pot tipped over.
You’re right about the psychological boost a fire gives 😊
I heard the sound of rain and knew that Sam Bananas was out for another adventure. The hamburger helper looked great. On to the next adventure Sam!
Another great one! I love the footage of the Trumperter swans! They are so beautiful. Thank you!
Fun rainy video, thank you for sharing Sam. Enjoy your time in Florida, looking forward to seeing a hike. As a fellow man of the woods, that sound was most likely a Bigfoot, or a frog :)
Hope your back feels better soon. Stay safe, my friend. You're my favorite tuber thank you for being reel
Thankyou for another great video, I hope your back is healing well and that Florida gives you a ton of sunshine 🌞
You f-up just enough that us, the great campers 13:35 ,like me,can go crazy. Great vidio
Thanks, I think 😂
There are so many of your videos where I personally would have thrown everything back in the pack and gone home. Thanks for always sticking it out and reminding us that bad days really aren't that bad.
I hear ya bud! I was super close to packing it in on this one and I do once in a while. Glad I stuck it out though because I really liked how this video turned out. Nice to see ya!
Hens season starts Friday!!! Maybe we can get ya to a game this summer in between adventures. 😁
Great effort as always ! Those are frogs, we call them “ peepers “ they are small and it’s mating season !
You are a trip funny and awesome 👌
Yasss! Richie Bananas! Good to see you again! Stay hungry my friend!
I'm so happy sam rain videos yes keep them coming buddy
That’s little spring frogs hollering. Mating season
You are, indeed, the one and only Sam Bananas; great video!
I like how good you are at setting up tarps. Im learning a lot from you. thanks Sam!
Sam I love your spirit! You’re such a cool guy! Maybe a trip at times but you always handle it.😊 Thank you for the video! Sending lots of love and respect always!!❤
U the Man. I wish I was still young, man I sure miss camping out like that. It just don’t get any better than doing this. A Man will learn to improvise on a lot of things. Nutin like it. Keep up the great work and be safe, GOD BLESS
Great upload Sam! Can’t wait for the next video!
Great job on the fire... I used to love camping in the rain... I hate having to set up camp in the rain.. lol At my age I don't do it as much anymore. .but I enjoy watching you guys brave the elements. My hat's off to you guys and gals
It’s a Sam ban marathon , rain videos only , I probably watched 10 good ones already
Haha awesome man, thank you!
Another rainy adventure, you're definitely a more dedicated camper than I am, I'd rather camp in 2 feet of snow than steady cold rain! Don't be ashamed to bring a camp chair along on these trips, I never used to in my 20s but as I get older and after the last couple decades of working in warehouses and factories I found my back to be really messed up, I need that back support.
Always a great time ! love your channel! enjoy your vacation !
Now that’s what I’m talking about your videos are brilliant mate
I call them spring peepers...tree frogs. 😳😁
Nice 👍
This channel ticks all the boxes, looking forward to the next one
LOL.Hi Sam. You haven't a clue what you're doing. Love it!
Nice, affordable camping food is always a big plus.
By far this video more than any other that is in this context has caused me anxiety! Getting stuck in the rain like that and having to hunker down is one thing. Going out in it and trying to make the best of it….. no way.! I was just sucked into watching. I couldn’t stop, because I thought it would stop RAINING. But it didn’t!!! All that mud and slop - under a tarp! Next to a BOG!, great job on the fire. 🔥 well done. Wow!
Thank you! This video was definitely a labor of love for sure.
Great video Sam always a pleasure to watch the channel keep up the good work my friend! The fire lighting was awesome btw good job! Hello Mrs Bananas! 😉
Sam Bannas, YOU ARE THE MAN!! GREAT VIDEO!!
Another great watch.. I love the rain and great audio and camera work.. hello Mrs bananas.. very best 🍻
Love your vids Sam. Campinf in the rain is the best
I don't care were you camp, I'm following LOL! Hello Mrs Banana's !
Good old rain camping. Something about rain camping is cozy. The mud sucks though. I'm still in the beginning of the video. The portable table would be nice to
Hello Sam banana 🍌 it's always amazing to see you're amazing camping video. have a amazing weekend 😊
You can twist and really open up those fire starters and that might come in handy in tough situations like this video. You didnt give up! Great video as always. ✌️
Another great Sam Bananas video. Thanks for taking me along again Sam.
Dude, I can't believe how you drag yourself out to camp during rainstorms!
The rain sounded really realistic in this one, it was nice.
I believe you set up by a Snipe Nesting Area .
Snipes can be found in various types of wet marshy settings including bogs, swamps, wet meadows, and along rivers, coast lines, and ponds. Snipes avoid settling in areas with dense vegetation, but rather seek marshy areas with patchy cover to hide from predators
Listening for the soothing sound of rain drops
Dude, when you spilled the food I tried to jump through my phone to save it. Couldn’t figure out why you weren’t eating it off the logs but then shortly realized you had a back up plan. Nice.
I love camping in the rain.
Hilarious… I’m doing the same tarp camp in the rain in southern Ohio while watching this. Only difference is i brought a chair😂. Sorry Sam!
Here I am five months later and I had to rewatch this video. I liked it that much, it’s August 31 85° outside hot and muggy so I had to watch this late fall early spring video and I liked it again. Can’t wait for you to post more of the cold and rain, keep on camping
Right on bud thanks for the views man! I always get as much rain camps in as possible 🫡
Sam, I think you attract rain and storms!
Another good video, enjoyed it. You may already know this, but thought I'd tell you what I've used to start fires in the rain.

Great help starting fire, when every thing else is wet. Enjoy Florida, it's almost snake weather here in the south, (I'm in Alabama) be watchful and careful.
The weather man said if the rain keeps up it won't come down 😅 another great one enjoyed it all glad you had back up on the food.
I highly recommend that you take 2 extra large tarps and connect them together ie I speak from experience. Always take more food and water than you need 😊 we love your videos and look forward to many more ❤❤❤❤
You always make the best of no matter what happens. Love yoù
I hope the sun shines for you soon, in the woods, hate seeing you so soaked, brave soul, we love watching you !
Hell yeah I like the rehydration idea and you get to eat sooner
Sam is in heaven when is camping in the rain. Your tarp blends in quite well in that landscape. Try yoga for your back pain. It has helped me tremendously.
35:14 that sound you heard was frogs 🐸 I have tons of them where I live they should be out soon for spring here
I really enjoyed this video, how patient you are, great demeanor, all the best from England.

Your camping is very attractive!🏕️
I was impressed.✨

I can be relaxed when I hear a rainy sound.😌
Your video became the splendid hint.
It will update my camping.⛺️
I enjoy Japanese beautiful nature, too.🇯🇵🌸🏝️🍁⛄️
Now that’s a fire!!🔥
Sorry to hear of your back pains. Definitely pack something to make your next trip more comfortable. Oh... and don't spill your dinner! :)

Nice video bro as always thanks for sharing
I was so interested I forgot to thumbs up on all the previous videos. I like you, Sam. Carry on and be strong.
I appreciate that!
My favorite part is where you go, "Woo!"
Congratulations on 40K Subscribers man! I enjoy watching all your videos :)
When I was a kid I the only camping I did was a 10 / 14 foot tarp and rope . Great Memories of a trouble free times as a kid camping and fishing .
You should try a stadium seat. It has a back. I have a padded coleman that rolls up to a manageable, portable size. Its super comfy and has a strong back support. Lightweight too.

Love the new edits. I gotta say I don’t ever wanna run into you camping. I know it’ll rain ! Lol
TY for dong videos about the rain. 90% of youtube backpackers act like it doesnt exist.
👍👍
You're the man, Sam. The only other person I watch on UA-cam that manages to light a fire in rain like that is Abel in New Zealand.
Good luck in Florida. Hope you don't come across the giant pythons down there.
Great rain camping video, hope your back feels better and I would love to see you camp in that spot that you are talking about at end of video
Amazing for your Camping in a Prolonged RAIN STORM | No Tent | Tarp Camping Lakeside. I love your video. I admire you.🥰
