Let's do this
What are we doing?
We're stocking up at Walmart
We're stocking up at Walmart for a couple of weeks of hell
Living like animals out in the wild
Serious question and I really want you to take your time to think about the answer
Do we or do we not need an emoji pinata?
Definately not
Look at all our food, yaaaaaaas
Okay, we're just packing up the car which is packed!
Do you wanna hand? First rule of camping is don't be hero
Welcome to W10, she's looking beautiful today we've just invested in an air
mattress from Walmart and let me tell you... few happy campers
so what we did was
we went to a thrift store the Value Village and we bought all of our cooking
supplies secondhand and picked up a cooler from Walmart this campsite is
gorgeous it is only $20 per night I would say we spent about
$200-$250 dollars on camping supplies all our bedding stacked up to
the side there we brought sleeping bags we just got a little one person cook
stove.. sorry, one burner cook stove here...great. Tarp just in case it rains
Little toaster up the back there was only a couple of dollars
heavy bass kettle, propane, disinfectant wipes, washing up gear, bug spray of course
How's the serenity.
Look at the view.
It's just incredible and for anyone on a budget
- It's a good option right? - absolutely
We made it to Whistler finally, we're just going to walk around the village a little bit
we packed our lunch, we made some wraps when we were having breakfast this morning
just to save a little bit money
so we're going to find somewhere nice to sit, just two bros having a snack
Oh yes, look at that
One for you
Salad wraps. Yeah I was inside that pub only a couple of nights ago
taking care of a lot of very drunk people
How times have changed now I'm
outside eating sandwiches out of a bag
Now we are doing an epic, super budget road
trip all the way from Vancouver out to Calgary and today we have set off on
really the mountainous... the proper start of our journey. So we're headed to Clearwater
we're going to start checking out some of the gorgeous waterfalls
and we are going to set up our campsite have some dinner and just enjoy that camp
life you know just YOLO at the campsite I have a sneaking suspicion they're
are no showers at the campsite which means it's a lake
wash for everybody
Just a nice cheeky little swim and maybe some wet wipes in
strategic spots
- I like that
mmmmm, I don't know i feel about that
So on the way the Clearwater campground I'm just taking Matt to check out a
little spot called Spahuts. Spahats I believe is the First Nations word for black bear
correct me if I'm wrong in the comments YouTube
Wait we have to walk around their show maybe
some people are filming a show here like an
actual show not some shitty use YouTube video like us
she looks professional. Alright so here's my plan I've been here before my plan is
this I'm gonna make Matt walk up to it but like backwards, we spin him around
to the side. Don't look. There are stairs you can look down let's look back
Don't look that way!
You saw it!
You ruined it.
You totally ruined that
Did I?
Yep, I didn't say it was time to turn around
I thought you...
ummm all right since we last spoke we've been fighting
It's been 10 minutes of screaming in the car
I hate you
Somebody got bit between the eyes
yeah
possibly it could have been a karma bite
- It was not..... - from the gods
How could it even be a karma bite I was trying to do
something nice for you?
And I appreciated it, I got it wrong, I didn't realize that
you didn't want me turn around...
obviously I didn't want you to turn...
I don't know, I don't know what part of don't look left means turn around now
Anyway so we've been screaming at each other in the car
Windows were down there's some startled bears in the area
someone's got some dashcam footage of me going I told you
you ruin everything
but we're past it now
we've moved past it
yeah we've moved on
everything so peachy 2 months in
every couple that's walked past...
holding hands
I'll tell you what they're not...
married
those are people with an out
those are people that don't know what it's like to
be shackled
close your eyes
give me your hand
don't ruin it this time
just keep your eyes closed and do not look up
until I say
and this is not me saying it
until I say you can look up, alright?
don't look up, don't look up, don't look up,
I'm not
Ok, look now
woah! that's...
there's a rainbow
that's incredible
it's my favorite
double rainbow!
We were saying Helmcken is
very much like something you would expect to see in Iceland it's stunning
it's like all like the rock is all blowin away from the sheer force of
the spray and there's moss everywhere there was a rainbow
fre sha vacado
double rainbow
double rainbow!
Now we're on our way to the Clearwater Lake Campground
so we're gonna drive right up next to it so we can just set up the tent, pump up the bed just have a
good night's sleep keep all of our gear bear safe in the car. I was planning on
doing some burrito bowls for dinner but it's a little bit later it's a quarter
to 7:00 I thought we'd be here at 2:00 so looks like could be having spaghetti for dinner
This place is amazing we were pretty tired before we got here but it's beautiful
bought some firewood, Matt's done the tent
under siege by mosquitos
but I'm energized, this is great I'm really looking forward to dinner and then campfire and
then you guys...
smores
Yaaasss
Okay, you you know how we do, gotta add that zuchinni, gotta get those greens you guys
I know I say it a lot but Matt and I both vegetarians
I'm not one of those people like... 'Oh I'm vegetarian'
I just gotta keep telling you it cuz I worry sometimes people are like...
'Phoebe, why aren't you eating meat?'
I gotta tell you though, one thing I miss
is ribs...and this barbecue sauce tastes exactly like ribs
so I've treated myself to one bottle and then I'm gonna import like a thousand
back to Australia
get me if you can quarantine
I'll declare them don't worry... I love you Australia
It's my first effort...
at a fire
clearly not enough kindling there
but... I'm gonna take a crack at it
see how it turns out
almost had to resort to burning our itinerary
because I almost ran out of newspaper but that's pretty much gonna take hold
if I keep chopping up more wood
So this is Clearwater
um, aptly named
that tree can you see right there, that tree right there is under the water we both
We both feel like we got this horribly wrong we should be having two nights here not one
maybe if we'd gotten here earlier in the day it's just
disappointing because we only get a couple more hours light to enjoy this and
we have to be up and out of here so early in the morning to make it to Jasper
live and learn you guys
2 nights
2 nights in Clearwater, at the Clearwater Lake campground
Do yo-self a favour
RIP my hopes and dreams for Clearwater Lake
Fire update...
I'm reasonably happy with it. Our biggest problem now
is we don't have enough wood
damn we need to find those Ranger babes
they're getting around here in a pickup truck looking real cool
with a tray full of wood and axes
okay
ladies, you need to avert your gaze cuz what you're about to see
is going to turn you right on
hot dog, hold me back
can I have a go?
yeah
I don't know how to do it
teach me the technique
well..
the idea is to try and skim some off the side
Do you have the details for our travel insurer?
You'll be right.
Need some wood chopped I heard
yeah!
so... a little spaghetti
bone app the teeth
fire in the background compliments of...
my ma... oh look at the lens flare!
our lord and saviour
how is it good?
amazing
yaaaaaasss!
I've got bad news and worse news
the bad news is
I can't find the ranger gals to buy any wood
so you can't contact them, there's no information over there, which is fine
I get it, they're wild, they do whatever they want
the worst news is around the shower?
It's got to do with showering.
It's that the shower has to be paid for
and it's $2 to use the shower
and the shower only takes 2 dollar coins
of which we have... zero
unless we get some more firewood
unless we can get $2 coins off them
no one's showering and no ones burning anymore wood
you're gonna be cold and filthy
We could have a... swim in the... clear water?
it's gonna be freezing, that water is so cold
There's no other option
I have a very delicate ecosystem and it doesn't take too kindly
to an ice-cold shock like that
how will i get warm?
what if I get hypothermia?
I'm not from this continent...
shut it down
Life update, found the rangers bought
some more firewood, got a fat stack of toonies
and now we about to get toasty in front of the fire
and then shower
no wet wipe shower
okay
that's not what people want to see okay
talk me through the fire situation...
do you think you need to stack it up?
do you think you need to make a little stack?
