Hey it's Shawn from Journey Alberta. Today I'm out
with my friend Jesse in the Ghost Public
Land Use Zone. I recently got a bow and some
arrows. I'm going to be testing that out
today. Jesse is going to be shooting off
some of his bow as well.
Hopefully I can hit the target.
For the moment Jesse and I have stopped
shooting our bows. I can hear someone coming
near me on a quad or a dirt bike. I've got my
tinder bundle here. Let's start a fire
and cook up some marshmallows and a
couple hot dogs as well. I thought this
would be a good chance to try out these
fire starter sticks I picked up at an
outdoor store the other day. Now they are
supposed to have a six minute burn time
per individual piece. I wanted to test
out to see how well they actually work
because if they work well, I managed to
break one in half already, but I think
that'll still suffice. I'll try and get a
clean break like a KitKat. Okay this is
good enough. There we go. These little
pieces are supposed to burn for about
six minutes, this one probably won't because I
broke a little bit of it. Probably be
good to crack these apart with a knife
or something. I've got my tinder bundle
ready, I've got some wood so I'm going to
light this on fire and kind of show you how
it burns and we'll see I guess if this
is a good way to start a fire or not.
Well it started pretty easily as you can
see. It kind of got snuffed out right
there by the wind.
The person on the dirt bike is getting
pretty close me here. Okay I'll just use that,
put down in here. It looks like it's
working pretty well. I pretty much just used
it like a match.
I'd say that's a pretty good success
actually with this.
I was just flying my drone getting some
beautiful aerial shots of this area that
we're in right now and I had my first
drone crash. It was kind of freaky, I was flying
it over the trees, well not over the
trees but towards a bit of forested
area past Jesse's Jeep and I got the shot
I wanted, stopped recording and the drone
was still moving forward although I
pulled back on it it got caught in a bit
of wind by the tree line and the wind
pushed it right into the trees and it
fell down and crashed. So I had to run
over there quickly and make sure it was
okay. Luckily nothing was broken on it, just a
little scrapes and bumps here and there.
But luckily nothing wrong with my drone.
Our fire has been put out. We're just
walking around this little road now,
bridge, bridge, road, thing, to look for any
other potential random camping spots
that might be right along this road. I
think we've actually found one right
over here. It looks like this could be a
suitable spot.
We just found what looks like a grave.
I'm not sure if it's real or not but
it's still creepy walking through this forest
here where we thought it would be a good
place to camp and we find this grave
with a cross it looks like it's been
screwed together,
but the stones laid around it are very
small indicating it might have been a
pet if there's anything even buried
there. It might have been someone just
putting it there to mess with whoever
saw next like Jesse has occasionally
done making altars and other weird
statues. The fact that the ground is slightly
raised over indicates that something
was buried there. I would assume that it was
probably a campers pet, you know they liked to
have come out here. They wanted to you
know bury them somewhere close that they had
fun at. Yeah. So just be respectful of
those kind of graves if you see them
and stuff like that. That was somebody's
friend once. Yeah. I don't know if it's
real but still be respectful of it.
Don't go trampling over and are ruining
it or throwing the stones around.
