Oh it's been so cold and wet here in virginia our family needs to go somewhere dry and sunny and warm like portland you ready to go to portland yeah all right let's do it okay tommy you can go to the bathroom just do not touch.

Anything okay few moments later i told you not to touch anything luke here with the outdoor boys youtube channel and me and my whole family are here in ariel washington with our great friends the south family.

And for those who don't know ariel washington is home of db cooper the infamous hijacker who in 1971 jumped out of a plane with a parachute in the dead of night in this very area with 200 000 in cash only to disappear forever so today we're gonna see.

If we can survive in the woods of ariel washington with our parachutes you guys ready yeah yeah let's do this let's do it so seriously we're gonna go in the woods here and try to make shelters and camp and survive in the woods using 1970s era military parachutes who wants to pull.

This thing i'm a little scared i'm so scared i dumped my shoes so apparently there's this little jack-of-the-box thing that pops out and it's this little mini parachute which then goes and pulls out and unravels the big parachute.

I want to see how big this thing is oh here she comes on the zipline  this could be a really bad idea on a windy day but it's not a windy day i am so out of shape get set go oh this is getting hard in the dead of night november 24th 1971 d.b cooper jumped out of a plane with.

200 000 cash and parachutes just like this and he must have landed somewhere within a few miles of where i'm sitting right now so we're gonna see if we can use a parachute to survive in this wet soggy forest just like bb cooper would have had to if.

He survived the jump all right i think i need to fold up my parachute and go find a spot to build a shelter for the night what an absolutely gorgeous place to build a shelter but the family's hungry so i think i better get a fire going so we can get lunch for everybody.

And then i'm going to start work on our shelter hey guys will you help me build a fire yeah start piling up wood right there okay guys everything about this place is wet the moss is wet the wood is wet it's going to be a trick lighting a fire so we got to get.

A lot of good wood out of the east coast i wouldn't look twice at this piece of wood it's so wet but i actually think it's going to be one of our better pieces when the ground is wet like this you want standing dead wood so dead branches that are on the tree trunk are going to be so much drier than the.

Stuff on the ground just got to be careful and not lay it down on the wet ground all right check it out i got a big old cedar tree here this is a cedar tree and it's just enormous but uh we can go and get these dry branches the best wood is dead and should just.

Snap off really easy but not be mushy or rotten add this to my pile of dry stuff one of the best parts about cedar trees is their bark cedar bark is good for so many things this bark is great fire starter and it also can be pulled off in strips and woven into cloth into mats.

And you don't want to take living bark you want the dead stuff that's peeling off anyways all right nice pile hey guys check out my folding saw agawa makes this thing and uh i really like it i've been using it for about six months now folds up and folds down really quick.

 protect it oh yeah all right we got some firewood whew what you got there tom a p a teeny tiny bit of fat wood oh yeah smell it why did you show me where you found it we're gonna try to collect the type of fire starter called fatwood.

When you get an evergreen tree that dies all the sap drains down to the bottom of the tree trunk and when the trunk falls over you've got this stump that's full of flammable pine tar and you can chop up bits of wood that are super saturated in this flammable.

Pine tar and use it as a great fire starter and it's called fat wood the key to finding fatwood is using your nose when you chop into the stump you should be able to smell that pine smell nice and strong what do you got there oh yeah smell that right there it's strong it's strong i already smell it i can smell it.

All the way over here oh yeah smell that tom the stuff here on the back is rotten so we're just gonna take the axe get rid of that rotten stuff and this all right here is fat wood all right got this piece of fat wood we're gonna see how it burns i'm gonna make some shavings and give it a go.

Oh the smell is just amazing all right i got my little thing of vaseline here got some cotton balls and we're gonna dip those in vaseline like that pick them apart a little bit so they catch an ember better this is the very precise throw everything on top of the fire technique.

Make a little pan here you hungry yeah should we have corn dogs yeah all right let's make campfire core dogs for lunch today let's look for a hot dog stick oh that's a good looking hot dog stick perfect all right guys we're gonna make campfire.

Corn dogs and i've got a mason jar full of the batter here and we're gonna dip some hot dogs in this and then boil them in peanut oil i'll go ahead and put the recipe down in the video description if you guys want the details i made the dough last night it might have stiffened up on me but let's see.

How it's doing that looks great i think that'll work see how it's bubbling but not too aggressively that's just right right about there that is mine that's your corndog oh look at that that is perfect just stick it in the ground like that and it can cool off and drip dry and.

She'll get nice and crispy let me let me put some ketchup on it okay like this you like it yeah and if push comes to shove you can take your knife and spread a little on the hot dog oh that looks good right there i think you're perfect man dump it in there right nice kind of give.

It a nice twirl see how it's getting a little bit violent we're gonna pull it off yeah we're gonna pull it off the heat here watch this all right i can pull it out for a little bit let that one sit would you like a cord dog i would love a corn dog i'm going to make a corn dog for you.

I was like nathan you're rubbing you're rubbing all my batter off so my my son nathan is uh pooping in the woods over here and we forgot to bring toilet paper so uh we're gonna we're gonna get some busch craft toilet paper here try this moss well nathan liked the moss and everything seemed to have.

Worked out okay what do you think of the moss toilet paper i love it i'm getting pretty thirsty so i'm going to boil some water from the creek real quick well my pot of water has been boiling for way long enough time to go cool it down that's icy cold water we'll just let.

That sit there for about 15 minutes it'll be nice and refreshing it's a little bit yellow it has some floaties in it but it's clean and cold i think it's time to start building the shelter and i am going to need some dead wood there we go got myself a ton of paracord.

All right there's this hole in the middle of the parachute i want to close that up um well there we go not a bad looking teepee huh let's uh take you on inside it is noticeably warmer in here it's nice and while this material isn't exactly waterproof the.

Steep angle and the tension should make it drain off to the sides instead of dripping through the material plenty of room in here you know traditionally with teepees they were built the way they were so that you could build a fire in the middle and have the smoke go out the top but i really don't know.

What this material would do if it lit on fire on accident it might be really nasty all right let's go get our gear and start setting up our beds is that cool guys hey guys what do you think is this cool in here hey wait look at this what'd you guys get you guys got adventure agent backpacks.

And adventure agent badges yeah the south family their youtube channel is called the adventure agents and they go on all sorts of adventures they have really cool swag but fyi we have outdoor boys t-shirts for sale too i'll put a link down in the video description.

To their stuff and to our new t-shirts as well by the way river you're rocking that outdoor girls t-shirt of ours looks amazing we need to get off the ground a little bit so we need a bunch of moss i want a huge pile of moss what do you got there pillows pillows.

Yeah that'll work as a pillow yeah it's a little wet but we can dry it out by the fire beds and pellets oh that's a big chunk of stuff oh it took us let me hit that so guys why don't you take the moss and put it in the bottom of the teepee so we can sleep on it.

Yeah patrick you never wanted it man well while the boys are off gathering moss i'm going to cook dinner and i'm going to be making some butter chicken curry oh it's going to be good  we got the boiling bag rice here easy peasy we're going to supplement our curry with.

Some forest vegetables and herbs here and we got one right here we got some stinging nettle you guys might recognize this plant is a very unpleasant plant to touch but if you grab the leaves from the top it can't get you and then once you cook it it actually is really good and tastes.

Kind of like spinach so which is really good in the curry all right there we go so this right here is wood sorrel and it's an edible plant you find all over in wet places and it it kind of tastes like rhubarb it's got a very tart flavor the brown stuff too so you got some.

Fiddlehead fern shoots we're gonna need about 20 of these do you think you guys can gather enough fiddlehead ferns and sorrel and stinging nettle yeah all right do your thing and bring the pot back to me okay okay simplicity factor here we're on the opposite corner it kind of hits land.

Further south well check it out this is all the herbs they got man that'll go good in the curry there that'll give us some nice vitamins time to add some greens fiddlehead stinking nettle butter chicken curry thank you i don't know if it's just because i'm so.

Hungry but this curry is hitting the spot it's delicious it's doing it for me it's doing it for me you like that tom oh i love it you like that oh no we've got to get things hustling here i got to get the boys beds made up got everyone fed and we got to get to bed plenty of room in here nice.

We got the beds all made and now patrick's telling the boys campfire stories about db cooper out and he trapped small game and he ate whatever everybody inside tell me lead the way i see london i see france i think i'm gonna go to bed at the same time you guys do oh.

The boys zonked out so quickly they're so tired well i'm gonna get ready for bed myself and i will see you guys in the morning wow  all right we got jacob's socks drying by the fire here.

All right for breakfast we've got steel cut oatmeal we've got some madeline's your little french cookie that you dip in hot chocolate and to go on our oatmeal we've got some honey some heavy whipping cream and some raspberries all right see just dunk that in there mmm i wanna see.

What it tastes like without it work well with my stomach that looks so cool yeah okay so so we can hide yeah all right oatmeal's done just add a little cream and honey and uh we're good to go so people can have seconds.

Thank you okay well that was amazing but the raspberry it's really good it's a lot different than instant oatmeal it is it is night and day this is delicious thank you well breakfast is in our belly and now we're going to break camp but this is not the end of our adventures here uh patrick.

We're near mount st helens and about 2 000 years ago it erupted in lava covered this area including some very large trees which burned away and you can see this tree burned away and it left a little well-shaped hole there you can see where the roots go out that.

Way here's another lava hole where a tree used to be oh check it out there's a ladder all right i'm going down the ladder see this is where a couple tree trunks fell sideways and got burned up  hello we just got in wow so a big tree was on its side when the.

Lava covered it all right let's go back go down this hole where the trunk used to be and there's all these crisscrossing tunnels from the logs that burned up so this is where the lava tube comes out river you don't even have to hunt that's once that's it.

Oh look at you guys are caving machines hey tom do you want to go underneath go back with the camera here i'm gonna go   there's just children popping out of the ground here and see there's these lava tubes.
