Hey guys welcome to another adventure we're going exploring an abandoned island you guys ready to explore abandoned island again   found what we're looking for in life us crazy but things.

 all right guys if you follow my channel you'll know that we were here a couple months ago exploring an abandoned island and we wanted to go to the ruins of an old mansion but the waves got a bit much for us well we're back and this time we're in the pontoon boat so we should be able to handle a little bit more chop.

And we've got the whole family with us you guys ready yeah all right  i can't take it anymore oh my goodness oh let's see this there we go scurvy has set in tommy's losing teeth little boat's really affected by tide.

Wind and we got both of it in our faces  that's where we camped last time  where'd he go  yeah there's a key for blue crab just floating around on the surface there if we had our net with this we might have.

Had a chance it's a little rough with the five gallon bucket we better get out of here we're moving about two miles per hour without the engine on we we made those super cute check it out there's like these big towers with ladders and platforms up there oh man i want to go see if we can.

Climb up those but we are so running out of time on the way back we're definitely going to explore those creepy little boy there he's asleep that's sweet i think i see it all right well i can see the ruins and the old dock but it is super shallow we're in one feet of water i need to.

Figure out how to get this boat stuck on shore not stuck on an oyster bed all right we're kicking up mud there he goes no swimming we made it we just spent three and a half hours on the boat but we made it oh look there's a big crate look at this crab.

Look at that look at the size of his claw look at that yeah that thing's got huge claws be careful there's there's crabs all over the place there's crabs everywhere so cool i kind of want to have the masked pets i know oh oh did it did it mind you.

 oh buddy i'm sorry  well you guys you can see this is a very flat island a very windy island if it wasn't for this grass these small piles of sand would blow away and they would be gone so it's really important to not harm the grass.

So we're gonna set up right here kind of a flat spot with no grass growing and that's where our tent's gonna be  the stakes that come with this 10 are like this big and so thin and garbage in sand so i took some steel rod i had it around the garage and i made some about 14 inch long stakes hopefully.

These will help yeah those work first thing we're going to do is stake this down so it doesn't blow away while i'm working a lot of people think if you just put enough gear in your tent it won't blow away that is false i have seen a tent with 300 pounds of gear fly up through the air and wrap around a tree because.

The gust of wind came along you gotta stake down your tents hopefully those custom stakes are long enough i wish they were about four inches longer but so far they're doing their job you know what they say if the tents are rocking it's probably because you didn't stake it down well enough and you really should do that.

 one thing that you can do that's a little bit of a help is put sand on the windward side of the tent so the air can't get underneath the tent and pull it up when it comes to latrines my wife has higher standards than the boys so i made a little something for.

This is a five gallon bucket with a pool noodle to slice it you just stick that on the rim nice soft clean surface to sit down on we got a little sand in the bucket so it doesn't accidentally tip over and after you do your business you can either bury it or check it in the ocean what are you getting stuck.

Oh i think i think another crab just pinched jacob all right where did you lose  oh hold on oh that's your shoe.

Okay there we go two pairs of shoes oh these smell raunchy now i'm ready to start cooking dinner hold on it's a little bit of a buzz kill buying store-bought firewood but we've got a real problem with uh invasive beetles that are killing trees so we're not supposed to transport firewood crossed.

County lines right now so i'm using kiln drying firewood to prevent that basic cotton balls here i'm kind of pulling them out a little bit stick one right in there at the bottom of this pile wrap a.

Bit of cotton ball on it there i'll light it with my blast match here okay eyes now what you got there buddy i got my pet hermit crabs that's cool bud gorgeous sunset and a beautiful location roaring fire as soon as we get a few coals we're gonna make a dinner to match.

The scenery  this right here is the best tinfoil dinner ever sliced red potatoes olive oil butter a little bit of salt garlic got some mixed carrots got a onions a patty of hamburger seasoned with rock salt.

Cumin coriander and a few other spices oh it's great always put the crinkle side down to prevent burning the potatoes and so you know which side is up and which side is down that's important also brought the good stuff chocolate whole milk in a glass bottle man.

Oh that's good for me and back i also have two well-seasoned filet mignon steaks here we're gonna fry those up as well let's see if this is hot up oh  every campout there's at least one thing i completely brain fart i brought these for steak.

Yeah i've got a knife here i'll just cut it up  the potatoes are done it's done the way to tell if it's done is the potatoes if they smoosh they're done what do you think mom is it good it's delicious nathan's living the dream he's roasting.

Marshmallows butt naked on a beach there you go buddy all right guys i'm out here in waste deep water anchoring up the boat because you really got to be careful otherwise your boat will drift off or your boat will get washed up on high ground at high tide all right let's pack it up and start getting to bed it's 10 o'clock and way.

Past your bedtime my wife brought toothbrushes this must be the glamping people are always talking about well the kids are in bed and the weather's perfect so we're gonna sit underneath these gorgeous stars and watch a movie on my phone and i'm gonna see if i can't do a nighttime time lapse.

So you guys can see what this starry sky looks like  good morning  oh good the boat's still here excellent i guess we should start building a fire get some breakfast mate we're gonna make.

Some breakfast we're gonna get the camp broke down and then we're gonna explore the ruins right over there and on our way back we're gonna stop by those towers and see if we can climb up them  two minutes and 36 seconds that's the time it takes jacob to get up in the morning and get his pjs covered in mud.

Oh you get pinched by a crab yeah i'm catching a crab they have huge claws those are fiddler crab did you get pinched too oh they pinched your thumb oh you're brave my bad that's on me now it's on you oops well that's why we don't put clothes on him good morning becca.

We got lemon cream cake i keep on opening cake by the ocean all right we'll start breaking down camp putting everything away and as soon as we're done with that we're gonna go explore that abandoned house over there in case you're wondering this is the field and stream eight man tent which i believe is 99.

And i did a review of this tent along with every other tent i own on my tent review video so put a link in the description all right guys you ready to do some exploring yeah check it out what it's a horseshoe crab no i don't wanna hold it right so apparently this.

Uh island has a bit of history rumor has it blackbeard the pirate hung out here once and more recently some rich man bought this island and decided he was going to raise cows on it and built a house and a lot of other things and all was fine and good until the first hurricane came along and then they ended up abandoning the island and.

Here we go we have an abandoned island and you can see this is part of the old sea wall right here oh my goodness look at all these crabs thousands and thousands of crabs you can hear them scurrying there's so many of them look at all the crabs the crab catch in paradise what'd you find tom i found a bone show it to me.

Look like there's some old wall right here this is probably a dock back in the days so i think this is the old jetty there's so many crabs running away from me right now i can just hear them i can see there's more building over here this old plow right here.

What is that like a winnower i believe this is for feeding cows they dump the hay in there and then the cows can sit there and eat at it this is big enough for a tank to drive over here look how rusty these pipes are  yeah that's the corner of a bathtub.

Chicken i can see a bunch of outbuildings and there's a big house with a large chimney over there i think that's the mansion hey guys check it out it's a sink i totally should have brought the metal detector yeah it's an old transformer not like uh more than meets the eye this is.

Something that for electricity all right there's the big house there's some more structures these little holes those might have been latrines oh there's so many crabs over here they're running around that's inside no that's dangerous i don't even i'm not going inside pipes on the ceiling what.

Yeah what those are gonna try to get to that big house over there there's an old set of concrete steps right here so this is probably an old path that should lead us to the house but man it's so overgrown this is kind of elevated right here so maybe maybe this is the path.

Look there's the house we're getting close who knows oh yeah it looks like there's a little path here yeah the house is doing a lot better isn't it look at this these big wooden pillars this must have been a beautiful home yeah i imagine.

What a map see a toilet yeah look right here oh yep there is look there's a toilet and there's a plant growing inside it floor is so spongy like this could really drop this could give way underneath me yeah that's not safe.

Look at that staircase what a beautiful home there's the bathtub right there fireplace all right guys this is as far in as i go i don't want to fall into the basement or have the roof flow on me or step on a nail but that's cool in there.

It's got like a little gazebo right here show you this uh yes look at all the bamboo growing right there are you guys are you guys getting bit by mosquitoes yeah yes mosquitoes are getting bad well rumor had it that there was an old world war ii armored personnel carrier.

The amphibious ducks one of those things was around here somewhere but man we haven't been able to find it i kind of hyped it up a bit with the boys and so i i i fear i might be letting them down looks like the tide's getting high so we better get heading back plus i want to climb to the top of those two towers we.

Saw on our way back so let's uh let's get going well guys was that cool was that worth all the trouble yeah now remember there's sharks in here hey becca hey jacob hey jacob how you doing buddy good all right we're just gonna eat a quick.

Lunch and we're packing it up and we're out of here was that a cool camping spot yeah all right let's go and go see those towers well we know where we're going this time and the wind is to our back we're making really good time it should only be about a two hour run instead of a three and a half hour run.

Check this i out if i had a death which i can grab on there and kind of shimmy up and try to go up but yeah that looks terribly sketchy that is all rusted up this one's got like a concrete bunker on top oh guys check this out.

There's a dead shark look at this  that's a little smaller than the one you caught he must have got stuck under there when there was a storm all four pieces of vertical angle iron are completely eaten through the only thing keeping this from falling on us right.

Now is those cables holy mackerel these things just a windstorm will knock this down i have no idea what these towers are for they look like they're for spotting subs from world war ii but i'm not sure why they'd be here i mean there's about two three miles of land.

Right over there you know why not build them on the other side by the ocean it's weird all right guys let's get back on the boat we got a long way to go yeah i don't know where yeah we just saw a sea turtle that's cool becca did you have a good time had a great time.
