I head out for a tent camp in the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area. Spend the night next to the Sand Dunes. Make a fire, cook some food, drink some beers. Breakfast/coffee in the morning and head out.

I like the beer bag. The banana flask is cool. I want the military winter flask style canteen because i like butter scotch rum. You should try twisted tea or redds black chery ale . Either will fit in the beer bag . But they can be dangerously good. Go down way to fast. Big basswood lake has black bear here. He has been eating bull head and digs up craw fish. He pretty friendly. If you come across a freindly bear. What ever you do. Don't touch their butt. They will bite you for it. Enjoy camp.

Well heck, I never commented here! I find that after enough beer just about any food product tastes good, even stuff I wouldn't normally eat. I guess beer for me, is like wacky tobaccy to everyone else, drink a few and I'll destroy the refrigerator. Num num nummm! Lol

great video. I have camped at the dunes as well and Lake Michigan in incredible. One thing that I wanted to mention is you endorsement for carbinox watches. I am very leery about these watches because they only come with a 14 day warranty which is a bit weird. I did order one to try out however. Their 14 day warranty is on everything...hardware and software. We'll see how it works out. Thanks for the great videos.

Hi David! Michigan really is beautiful, I'm lucky to live so close. As for watches, I get where you're coming from on that. But I have put both the Spacecrafter and the Titan through the ringer. In my opinion, the Titan is a lot tougher, but the Spacecrafter is a lot nicer. I agree, I'd like to see a longer warranty, but at $100 each, they are kind of hard to beat. Thanks so much for the feedback, my man. Maybe we'll share a beer on the trail someday. Happy trails!

Good video, It be better if it were raining lol , try something new, you eat foods that have seeds , try planting a wild garden (peppers, onions, potatoes,tomatoes) at every place you camp , because you sometimes return to the same location it would be cool to grow and use consume them , if it works Keep making videos 👍🖖

Hey thanks for the encouragement my man! I don't think I'm going to be able to plant a garden in these spots, because it's public land. I don't think you're supposed plant anything in them. I do want to start a garden at home though.

The general rule is to always boil. You could always add bleach, but you are drinking pool water. What really sets on my mind is the man made pollutants that might be in that water. Those don't get filtered out or boiled out.

@CampingwithSamBananas 2 жыл бұрын

Most people don’t know that about bleach. It’s actually true, but I’d only do that in an extreme emergency. And you’re totally right about the pollutants. That’s my main concern because otherwise I trust the filter and boiling.

G'day Sam - greetings from Sydney. Thoroughly enjoy your videos which I reckon have the perfect balance of imagination and pragmatism. Great camping location by the lake. Were you by chance anywhere near Alma Michigan on this trip? Lucky enough to stay there a few times.

@CampingwithSamBananas 2 жыл бұрын

Hi David! Thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot. Alma is pretty far away from this spot. Probably 2 hours or so. It’s close to Ludington.

I'll leave a 2nd comment, not only because it helps the channel, but because I get gabby after a couple of beers. I don't know if you actually live in Michigan or are just visiting for the purpose of the video and I don't care, it ain't any of my business, but I find it pretty cool that you happen to be in the state of another outdoor KZfaq channel I've been subscribed to for years. His dog's name is Monty as well. Won't mention the channels name, because that's not fair to your channel, just wanted to mention the coincidence.

Hey Sam what a great time of year to camp and in Michigan my home state it looked like a super nice area. I grew up camping In the UP as a child. Lived in Jackson, Michigan. Have you ever been to the UP? Dirty dogs and sand beer sounds yummy. Your videos are so fun to watch thank you so much!

Thanks so much man! My mom doesn’t love too far from Jackson. Hillsdale area. I haven’t made it up to the UP yet because for me the drive to KY is actually closer. UP is 100% on the list and I will definitely make it up there.
