Welcome to botches off -road and you're just
gonna have me and mark today. Yep Alex's Alex
is sicky. So we're gonna Let him take his little
break and we are gonna hit you guys with a rap
So we did actually have a pretty interesting
weekend. I think both of us did. Oh, yeah, we
did Yeah, I'll let mark started off with what
him and Alex did and Yeah Take it away there,
man. All right. So Friday, we decided to go winter
camping up at Mixpoint. Pretty good spot to do
winter camping at. It was actually pretty not
bad at all. Been there before. Alex got a battery.
And then we also picked up another diesel heater
after our previous week of experience. I don't
know if that was covered in last week's wrap
or not. Yeah, okay Yep, so we discovered that
potentially three tenths was too much there how
Our vents were lined up because his sat lower
than our me and my brothers are set up a little
higher So we're thinking that we were not pushing
air The correct way so it was not distributing
but at its potential like a like more of a back
pressure Like it didn't have enough pressure
to push. Yeah all three. Yeah So we got those
up and running and then We got a campy up Alex
bought a Ozark propane heater which Was actually
a lot bigger than we thought it was going to
be he saw a listing for it and down Holland on
Facebook but by the time I think it was like
40 dollars for a Facebook market, but it's how
you drove down there and back. You probably waste
about as much as in fuel price to buy a new one.
Yeah, I wish you would have told me. I wish you
would have told me. I have two of them. I have
a buddy heater, then I have like the propane
heater you just throw on top of a 20 pounder.
Yeah. So if you would have just told me it would
have been fine, you could just use it. Yeah.
I didn't know he planned on it. He was. He had
his buddy heater, but it found out he found out
it doesn't work anymore For some other reason
got broke. What happened? Do you know knows?
I? Don't know if he knows He went to test it.
It just wasn't putting it out. I think we had
issues last time we use it, too. I Didn't hear
that interesting. Yeah, I'm trying to think Thing
was our botches yearly last year when we had
after that ash. I'm trying to remember when he
had issues Actually, it might have been last
spring we had issues with it. So I think we went
to use it and they can't be last year The diesel
heater? No the propane heater. Oh the propane
heater. Yeah, I thought you were talking about
the diesel heater No, hear about that not working.
No, no, no, no the buddy heater. Yeah, okay,
but um see here took us about Maybe an hour maybe
a little less. I don't think it took us super
long to set up. Yeah His way he had the dog swag
or the wolf den and then we got me and my brother's
tent And then we have a canopy to set up right?
Oh, we do a little bit of shoveling. Oh and We
the trail we went on literally had like no tracks
like so no one's been there like all winter so
far So yeah, you got I want to say halfway down
the short way getting back to mix point We had
an air down about halfway through it cuz he ended
up bottoming out or couldn't push any more snow
yeah, we had a similar a Similar time up up in
Buckley, but I'll tell you guys more about that
later. Yeah I want to say just below our knees
was how deep it was. Maybe a little bit less
than that, but it was a good amount of snow and
it was very powder. Yep. So it was very fun trying
to drive through. Um, how'd it go? I mean, did
you guys heat? Well, was this a lot? Oh yes,
a lot better than last time. So not quite familiar
with his diesel heater, but me and my brother's
diesel heater. It has like 10 different 10 power
settings. When we first started up, we got it
cranked up to 10 and we showed in the canopy
and had dinner. That way our tents were nice
and warm and it was very toasted. Like you can
open our rain fly and you can feel all that hot
air coming out of the tent. So it was heating
ours really well. Um, nighttime we pretty much
did I think we had it set to five, and that was
comfortable. Had zero issues with it. Ran all
night then? Oh yeah, all night. For our dinner,
we had venison steak, mashed potato and corn.
Hell yeah. Yep, that was really good. Way better
than my dinner. So did you do Friday and Saturday?
We did Friday and Saturday. Did Saturday, was
that any different as far as? Like the heating?
We had discovered a couple things. So Saturday
morning, me and my brother forgot to top off
our diesel heater. And literally, I think around
10 o 'clock, we ran out of fuel. So I mean, at
least we got through until morning. Oh, yeah,
make sure you top off. You don't have to worry
about it. And then... He didn't - Alex didn't
have all the wires set up yet? Yeah, I did. What
are you talking about? Yeah. You feeling better
there, Alex? Well, I haven't coughed in a while.
My voice still sucks, but it's what it is. Are
you recording? I am recording, of course. I'm
not going to start talking without recording.
Well, you never know. So I guess Alex decided
to join us after all. I couldn't let you guys
have all the fun. Yeah. OK. We were having plenty
of fun. But we didn't have all the rap rap. We're
on the rap. OK, cool. Yeah. So we're going. You
just you could have asked before. Look at this.
Very professional here. It just peeped right
in in the middle something that we're told not
I mean he did try making me do it last week But
then yeah, I did Yeah, so So yeah, you guys had
venison steak for Friday Saturday you guys realized
that your Fuel ran out at around 10 a .m. Ish
But I'm assuming you guys had no issues with
gelling or anything like that, right? No No gelling
at all. Yeah. I really think the diesel heaters
keep the inside of their case fairly warm. I
guess I never put my hand on the case to see
if it was, but it never gelled. So, yeah, I mean,
mine stayed cool, but it was never cold. So.
The actual diesel that poured out definitely
gelled out, though, like the low residue on the
top. So it was definitely cold. Oh, sure. Well,
so what did you guys do Saturday then? So we
ran in town because Alex didn't have the plugs
to plug to his other battery So it couldn't charge
in the vehicle right away. Yeah Yeah, I needed
some battery terminals. Yep So we ended up going
town ran a couple errands Dropped the battery
off or I always discharge and we went to have
lunch. We went to the moon dance cafe It's a
good place It is. Their French toast is killer.
Oh, wait, no. Is it the French toast or the stuffed
pancakes or whatever they're called? I couldn't
remember what they're called. Yeah, I think I
had like a peach one. It was like they were stuffed
or something. And oh my god, dude. We went there
for probably a week straight for breakfast. And
then I got tired of it. I was like, all right,
I'm over it. Had everything on the menu within
that week, and I was like yeah Yeah, I had the
heroes burger from there their coffee though
their coffee though really good coffee like that's
a For most of the summer we were taking their
bagged beans from dance cafe From their little
coffee. We were getting the beans from it and
then grinding them fresh every morning. It's
a coffee at camp awesome So we had lunch and
then we quickly stopped by picked up the battery
again went back to camp We I think did you put
you finished putting terminals bound before we
hooked up the battery again? Yeah, that's what
I thought. Yep Um And then we did a we did a
link battery would last uh so we turned it on
at like i'd say one o 'clock we turned on both
diesel heaters yeah part of it was so that wrangler
had a warm tent uh and then at like yeah 1 30
was about 130 we were discussing going to bed
soon and yeah both diesel heaters um i was missing
unintentionally pressed the on button which i
think might have missed with the Settings so
instead of being the power modes that I was talking
about earlier I Put into the tent mode. What
was in supposedly the inside temp for the tent?
so No, it's it was reading it was reading the
thermostat Which is on the front of the case
which was outside and it was trying to make it
80 degrees Yeah, that's yeah, but it was like
negative five at the thermostat Oh, not on that
one, I believe. Do you have the little extending
wire that you can bring the display into the
tent with? OK. Mine does. I just haven't done
it yet. The other one we just got, we got the
first heater that can get here as quickly as
possible. So it was like one of the cheaper ones.
But other than that, that thing ran real well.
Yeah. It's actually quieter than Alex's. That's
good. You mean, what did you guys do? Did you
guys do any wheeling or anything? Yeah. No. Just
in and out? No. It was just a chill weekend.
We didn't do a whole lot of anything. And I'm
assuming that it was really warm and nobody got
sick or anything. He was sick from chores at
the farm. I was sick long before we did it. His
body was anticipating it It was like yeah, I'm
gonna get sick right now before we even go so
yeah, that's I uh We did shavings at the farm
and literally like two hours after doing shavings
my sinuses clogged up, and I just have been fighting
a Sinus things ever since Yeah, I have, like,
bad asthma to, like, dust and stuff. So, like,
wood shaving dust, hay dust, any kind of, like,
dry grass, that stuff. I was even wearing a mask.
Oh, yeah. That stuff gives me, like, asthma attacks,
like, to the point I have to go to the hospital.
So I got to be careful around that shit. So that's
why I don't do hay anymore. In high school, I
started having asthma attacks. My grandma was
like, you're being a sissy. Just just breathe.
I'm like, yeah, I am trying Get that old old
farm lady mentality. It's just just work it out.
You'll be fine Yeah, we play that lot. Yes, I
already and then also earlier in day we were
pulling wires dice golf, but we played that for
like Yeah while we were waiting for the batteries
to recharge. We played 18 holes and then nine
holes. Yeah. God, I haven't played cards in a
long time. I used to play euchre in high school.
You'd have like games where we'd decide not to
play like Halo Reach until four in the morning
and we'd like play euchre till three a .m. instead.
And that was fun. But we'll ask you last time.
Yeah. We'll have to do golf. Does it doesn't
take long to pick out how to play it? It's a
really fun card game. I like Uno. Uno's fun.
Then we had walking tacos for dinner that night,
too. Yeah, we'll have to throw it down sometime.
Yeah, those are always super easy. I think I
packed a whole bunch of stuff. Oh, I forgot about
that. And I didn't eat, like, any of those two
things. Yeah, he bought a whole box of unopened
MREs. He mixed our walking tacos with some of
the Mexican dishes and the MREs. He's like, oh,
let's grab all the Spanish -related or Mexican
food -related. Dude. We should have. We got to
do like a review on those. I've got another six
or seven boxes. Hello. Yeah, we got to do a review
on those like a camp night review or bring out
the money I got for uploaded onto this for emergencies.
Oh, I've got five in my truck and I think Mark's
got four in his or six in his or some shit. Oh,
I see. Yeah, I didn't know I had a. I had two
or three meals of my freeze dried still in my
truck. I didn't even know it until I was going
through drawers while I was at camp. So for me,
I actually went to, I went to a whole separate
gig up by Buckley, met up with Mitch and we went
up to, met at the Buckley General Store, talked
for a little bit, found out that we were going
to be the only ones there for now. And so we
kind of got moving, looking for a camp spot for
the night. He had some coordinates in mind. And
we drove about 15, 20 minutes out onto the road.
Went to go turn off the road and saw like a foot
and a half pile where the snow plows had driven.
And then it was just deep snow after. And we're
like, all right, well, we're going to air down
real quick right here. So we aired down. He took
one pass, and it got stuck on the plow hill.
And that should have been our sign that it wasn't
meant to be. But I was like, no big deal. Got
the kinetic rope out real quick, pulled him out.
He tried it again, pulled him out one more time,
hit it the third time, and boom, got through.
And then so he got through, stopped. I pulled
through. Then we started trucking down that.
And I think we made it probably a couple hundred
yards before we started to realize it's getting
deep, deep quick. Like, once we got over that
hill, it was already like a foot deep. And then
past that, it just started getting deeper and
deeper as we got into the woods. And we got probably
what? For anyone that doesn't know about Michigan
snow, we don't get that hard pack, right? We
just have fluff. Yeah. So yeah, when you're a
foot and a half deep, it's a foot and a half
to ice. There's no hard pack to grip. There's
nothing. It's just foot and a half of snow, wet,
icy leaves underneath. Yep. So and I think luckily
over here, I think up north, I was about two
hours north. They had like a small amount of
hard pack, but it wasn't like the trucks could
still break through it. If you started spinning.
That's all it took to kind of break through the
hard pack. And then you were fucked fucked. So
anyway, we got through that. We got about I'd
say a couple hundred yards into the trail and
immediately got stuck. Mitch got stuck. Well,
I pulled him back and he could not get into the
ruts. We were in about two feet of snow. And
once you kind of once you kind of get pulled
out of those ruts, it's really hard to bring
yourself back in. You know, you can try steering
all you want driving back into it and it just
it won't let you So especially on alterings alterings
are just they're not good in that kind of snow
Yeah, so anyway, we uh, I eventually pulled him
out far enough that he could get back into the
ruts but it took a little bit and We started
driving and then I went in and I was just driving
but you when you got two and a half some feet
of snow You can't tell what the trail really
looks like on either side. You can see small
indentations. I mean, it's just, it's hard to
know. And on the left and right side of the trail
were like washouts where like jeeps would go
in and just like tear the fuck out of it or something.
I just assume it's a Jeep because that's typical
XJ owner activities. So they, uh, so immediately
I got pulled into one of those and that pulled
me off the road. uh into the kind of into the
ditch a little bit as soon as I hit that rut
and that was kind of a doozy he tried pulling
me out um and he kind of got stuck trying just
trying to yank me he kind of sank right through
that little pack and there was another like six
inches of snow underneath that and he was just
digging too so I ended up trying to winch myself
out um I winched myself forward a little bit
and then He tried to back up. We connected both
of our kinetic ropes together because he couldn't
get close enough without sinking in. So he got
to a better place where he could actually go
forward and backward a little bit, pulled me,
eventually got out of that. And we were kind
of thinking about what to do next. And then he
got stuck again trying to go through. So. then
he got stuck. He only had a few winch points
to go through and they weren't enough to get
him back kind of where we wanted to go. And so
we were both trying to figure it out. And I'm
like, well, maybe if I can get over here, there's
kind of like a turnaround point, like a like
a like a drive almost. And I'm like, well, maybe
if I could pull around here, it might be the
snow might be shallower up here into this area.
And then I could try to turn around and get us
pull us out. So I was facing the opposite direction
to be able to pull us out. And I pulled into
that. Nope. Even deeper. So I was getting snow
just about at headlight level. So I'm on 33s
and lifted three inches. So headlight level is
pretty good. It was over my hips at that point.
So yeah, I was frozen. My feet were frozen from
our knees down. were complete solid, and I had
snow from pretty much my hips down. We were just
not having a good time. So that took me a long
time to get out of. Him pulling me, me winching,
I mean, almost 90 degrees to the left to the
tree just to help push me out. And at some point,
he was able to get turned around by some grace
of God. During all that I think it was just because
we were running over that certain area so many
times that we packed it down enough and I was
trying to get up and turn around because I was
wedged in between two trees so I wasn't able
to turn and so I went on the new trail it you
know farther than we had driven and it got stuck
again and That took us probably another 45 minutes
to an hour. And so we were there in a total of
like four hours within not even a, I would say
maybe a quarter mile into that trail for four
hours, just trying to get turned around at that
point and get out of there. And when we finally
got out, we were both kind of like, Oh my God,
I can't believe we got it. It was already dark.
We met at like two, left at like two 30 and we
were, we left at like six something. So we were
there for a while just pulling and trying to
get out of there recovering. Um, so he asked
if I wanted to keep like looking for trails or
he knew a spot where it was plowed that we could
go. And I was like, that's just go there. I'm
not, I don't want to play anymore. I want to
set up camp. I'm like, I was done. I was cold,
freezing my ass off. I couldn't feel my toes.
So we got there, he started setting up his camp,
working on the fire. I sat in my truck for a
little bit just to warm my toes up. When I was
ready to go, I started setting up camp and it
was just, I brought my Nemo Dagger. That was
a two season tent, mostly mesh and ended up being
my downfall later on. I started setting that
up. And man, it had been probably a year and
a half since I'd set that up last spring, maybe.
So I was kind of like, I don't know what I'm
doing, really. It had been a while. And setting
it up, and of course, as soon as I start setting
it up, it starts heavy snowing. So I'm getting
snow in the tent. He comes over, helps me. Where
we're at, we can't really stake it down, so.
so sliding all over the place the the tarp and
everything and it was just a pain I was getting
stressed out I was cold and so anyway I eventually
got it set up and then as soon as I got it set
up and my gear in there and everything ready
diesel heater on that was starting to get warm
I was looking happy forward to it then the wind
started picking up out of nowhere we're in the
woods But the wind was coming through from the
fields It was kind of sheltered like Alex's little
camp spot on his property gotcha like there were
trees around us But it wasn't enough to shelter
from like field I know especially during the
winter time where all that covers gone. Yeah
So so we were starting to get that wind come
in and oh my god, dude. It was Frigid we were
we were good into the you know, probably couple
under negative and with that wind coming in like
as I'm breathing my mustache is freezing and
I'm uh Where's we're sitting pretty much in the
fire like I'm in the fire my the front of my
boot melted But I didn't even care because my
toes are so cold He I looked at the front of
my boot and it's all melted up. I'm like I don't
like I was I was so frozen that I didn't even
I surprised, Saturday night, my feet could not
get warm. I took it off and about had my foot
right on the propane heater. I surprised I didn't
burn those fucking socks off my foot. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I was about ready to go. But I was just
cold, man. It was a long day. I got back issues.
So pulling free spool on that winch through like
two and a half, three feet of snow. Um, a little
over three foot at some points, like it was just
killing my back. So my back was already sore.
I could feel that I tweaked it a little cold.
Um, and my core temp was just, it was just low.
I could tell I couldn't get warm. Like I was
warm on the outside, but I could tell my core
temp wasn't. And so I'm like, screw it. I wasn't
even going to eat anything, but He was eating
some food and I'm like, yeah, maybe some hot
food to help. And I had a can of red beans and
rice and some sausage. And I fried the sausage
up, add the can of red beans and rice and I ate
that. And fuck, that was good. It's probably
the best camp meal I've had as of late just because
of like how much it helped me. I could it's bad.
You know, like when you drink like hot soup and
you could feel it go down into your stomach.
Yeah. And that's how it was with that red beads
and rice. It was boiling a second ago, and I
put it right in my bowl and started eating it.
I'm too cold. It's not going to bother me. Yeah.
I'm swishing it around, and my mouth is blowing
out. You can look like a dragon with the cold
air, and I'm just trying to get it down. And
I felt it go down. threw my throat down into
my stomach and immediately started getting warmer.
And I'm like, oh. I'm sitting there moaning while
I'm eating. I'm just like, oh, god. Mitch, you
want any of this? He's like, I'm good. I'm like,
it's good. And then at some point, it cooled
down enough to where I could just eat it plainly.
And I was just mowing down on it. I didn't realize
it. I hadn't eaten anything all day either. So
I ate that. I brought some of my tea. uh that
diet blueberry green tea that I love yeah uh
brought some of that in my Nalgene and drank
some of that finally the with the wind picking
up and the way that we had it in the snowbank
the fire started just kicking smoke into our
faces like crazy and we couldn't get away from
it so at that point we were just like yep we're
tired let's go So I got into the tent and started
that long process. Anybody who knows, like you
were working all day or you're doing recoveries
and you get sweaty feet or you get wet feet.
You're always supposed to change your socks and
their dry socks. So I took my socks off, took
my pants off. Those were frozen. Still frozen
at like the ankles down. The fire did dry them
out from the knees to the ankles, though. So
that was good. And thought all that out. and
took all those off, changed into some pajamas,
got into the sleeping bag, and core temp was
still low. I mean, I was still chilled. The thermometer
on the top of my tent, it's also like a carbon
monoxide meter. But that was reading like, it
was like 45 at first, then it got up to like
60. And I'm like, dude, 60 should be no problem
for me. But for some reason, I was still cold.
I'm like, oh, it's probably because it's on the
top of the tent, like the top area. like down
by the bottom of the tent. It's probably way
colder. And I only had the diesel heater on to
like five. I was trying to conserve it a little
bit. I didn't want to go too hot because I didn't
want to melt the tent. Thankfully, I didn't have
any issues with it melting the tent or anything
with the fabric or anything just being too hot
because I just had it thrown in through the door
on the one side. So that was... That was cold,
man. I was freezing. I ended up opening the foot
box of my sleeping bag. I have zippers on the
bottom, too, so I could open my foot box if I
needed to cool my feet down. And I threw the
pipe in my sleeping bag. And that was fucking
phenomenal. That whole night, I was like, why
can't I sleep like this? I could have put it
to one and sat there and slept in a comfortable
80 degrees. it's like 80 degrees is comfortable
with me at that when I was as cold as I was.
And oh, dude, I felt so good. I started to fall
asleep with it in there. But then I was like,
no, it's going to shut off the diesel heater.
Because if you're not getting any, if the air
is not being able to flow through the diesel
heater, get pushed out, it'll shut it off too.
So if you're blocking that output, it'll shut
it off. So I was like, all right. Because I was
sitting there with my hands like this in a triangle
to let all the hot air through the sleeping bag.
And man, dude, I was so comfortable the whole
time. I was thinking of ways like I was like,
maybe I should go get some sticks and put them
in my sleeping bag to make like a tunnel so that
I could just be heated all night through my sleeping
bag because it was perfect. Get a piece of PVC
and just make an arch so it blows right in your
bag. Dude, like fishing pole, something bendable
like that. Oh, God. imagine putting a diesel
theater through like a a bivy or something oh
yeah dude I was that was heaven I started falling
asleep with my hands in a pyramid to keep the
tunnel and I was like okay so I actually pulled
the hose in more about two feet into there moved
my sleeping bag closer or my sleeping pad and
bag closer to the middle and let it channel through
the side and kind of laid with my head down towards
that side and I think I got, at the most, probably
30 minutes of sleep at a time. So concerned with
the diesel heater shutting off, plus my core
temp never really recovered. And I was just having
a hell of a time. Yeah, that was me last week.
I don't think I actually got any form of sleep
that first night we were trying. Yeah, it was
like 30 minutes at the most for me. Yeah, I went
down inside and fell asleep inside. I'm like,
I can't do it anymore. Because I rotated in my
sleeping bag and lost all my temperature I had
in it. Yeah, I was rotating just to keep my back
warm. So I think. Yeah, it was about 1 .30, because
I took a video of it. 1 .30, I wake up, and it
somehow got dramatically cooler in my tent. I'm
like, what the fuck? Did I get another wind gust
that came in? Because the wind was still blowing,
and it was coming underneath my rain fly and
just pushing all the hot air out. So I thought
I was getting one of those. And I go and feel
my port, and I'm like, oh, fuck, this is cold
air. What's going on? And I look at my app on
my phone. And it says diesel. It was like oil
pump fault. And I was like, what the fuck? Like,
dude, am I going to freeze to fucking death?
Like I knew I wasn't, but I was just like in
my mind. I'm like, God damn it. So. I got that,
uh, waited for it to shut off completely and
just restarted it and it turned right back on,
started pumping, doing just fine. But after that,
I was so like worried about it. I barely slept
at all after that either. And. About 6 30 p .m.
I heard Mitch walking around out there. I could
hear him starting a fire And I kind of came out
like hey, are you up and he's like, yeah, I'm
getting up and I'm like, okay I was like Maybe
I should get up too and I'm sitting there through
the port through my sleeping bag again. I'm like,
yeah, this is nice sat there for a little bit
longer took it back out and then all of a sudden
a Couple minutes later the diesel heater shut
off again, and I'm like fuck. Well, I guess I'm
getting up now So thankfully, I moved the heater
hose throughout the night, put it in front of
my shoes to dry my shoes out, put it in my pants
to dry my pants out. So everything was dry. Why
did it shut off the second time? I didn't actually
check. I'm assuming it was low fuel, because
it was pretty low. But at that point, I was already
cold and stuff, and I went straight to the fire.
And then Mitch offered. He said his mom's house
was close by, and that we could chill there for
a little bit and kind of warm up, get a hot cup
of coffee. And I'm like, you know what? Fuck
it. That sounds really good right now. So we
went over there, got some hot coffee, warmed
up, and just talked, bullshitted. I talked with
Mitch a little bit throughout camping and stuff,
but usually I'm with the family, so I got my
own thing going on. And so it was nice to just
kind of talk to him. little bit and we finally
got our cup of coffee in warmed up and went back
out packed up camp I told Mitch I said I learned
what I needed to learn I learned that this type
of camping would not be sustainable for my family
and that's what I wanted to learn so you know
I I said this this would work for me in a pinch
this tent would not work for my family this the
setup would not work for us long term, for like
a weekend. I said, so I got my information. So
I was like, I'm not interested in staying another
night. He's like, oh, that's cool. You're like,
I get it. No problem. And I'm like, cool. So
we packed up. He's like, well, do you want to
just go home? I'm like, no, no. We can hang out
if you want. I said, if you want, we could do
some trails. He's like, yeah, I'd like to check
out the high rollaway trail and stuff. I'm like,
cool. Let's go. So we got packed up, aired up,
because high rollaway, you said, was plowed.
It was. It was plowed. It wasn't two and a half,
three feet of snow. It was like six to eight
inches of snow with some pack and then another
three inches of snow. So we got into that, aired
up, and we were doing fine. We were sitting in
those ruts that were already in there from another
car. And they were just pulling us all over those
fucking ruts. I could see him fucking squiggling
around in the ruts as he was going. And I was
doing the same thing. And then finally we got
up to an incline. It was probably like a 100
-yard incline. And it was just like an open field
area. It was a little bit deeper snow. And you
could see he made it all the way almost up. And
then you could just watch the truck go, dum,
dum, dum, and sink as he was digging in. He backed
up, gave a few more tries. And I'm like, you
know, I don't think I want to do this again.
He goes, nope, me either. I was like, you ready?
You want to just turn around? He's like, yeah.
And then I also was having stomach issues. So
I'm like, I think I need to turn around, or it's
going to happen here. So we went to turn around,
and he got stuck again. I gave him a quick yank
and pulled him out. And we went back to the general
store. And I got to use the outdoor bathroom,
which is great. You guys just brought the diesel
heater? Throwing the diesel heater through the
door? Yeah, setting up the diesel heater was
more of a pain to do that for sure. But yeah,
and so and then I ended up going home a little
bit after Mike showed up and they went out and
did some stuff. So that's that's pretty much
how my weekend went. Yeah. Well, do we want to?
get into the hour. Gavin needs a time out. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's go to the hour. Alright, we'll talk
to you guys later. Later.
