What's the best weird camping accessory? Welcome to Good Mythical More. If you're a camper, you might be a little bit weird. Um, and that means that you might be- If you're a habitual camper, then yeah, I think it goes hand in hand. There's something about- Well, I, I, I- … being wild … I love camping. You love camping, but we haven't been camping as much as we used to. I'm a van camper. I like a little, I like a little lux. I like to lock the door. I like a bed. Well, the thing is you talked me into trying one of those van camps, camper situations, and then I did, and it's… And two things happened. Hmm. Number one, I haven't been camping again. And, but I've thought to myself, "If I go camping again, I gotta use the van." Yes, you do. And that's why I haven't been again, because you have to make a reservation. Oh. You know, you can't just be like, "Let's just get in the c- car and go camping, fam." Yeah. You know? I mean, getting the fam to go camping is- That's not good … its own little hurdle. I don't think, I think I did that one time in my entire fatherhood experience where all four of us went camping together, and it was actually, like, kind of a, you know- Well, bec- it was a family moment. It was memorable. We, we did, we, we did that a few times, and then it was over. And I, and I, and I, here's the thing. And now I just remember it, and that's good enough. I think every dad thinks that they're gonna do it all the time. They're like, "Oh, yeah, we're gonna be camping all the time." And maybe there are some dads who do, but- I am actually cleaning out my camping gear and getting rid of most of it. Oh, I thought- Yep … you were g- saying you were looking at your camping gear and, like- Nope … reassessing yourself. I'm admitting defeat. And maybe some of these things that we're gonna show you today are going to get us all back into camping. Hmm. How about a fishing rod for your s'mores? Chase, do you know anything about this? Is this a firm line, or is that just dangling out there? 'Cause that would seem stupid. I think it is, uh, just dangling. I'm double-checking. Well- It seems like it might be a me- a metal, metal thing, whether it's a chain or whether it is firm So what, so you're just back here, you're doing the thing, then you let it go and it just pendulums out there? Yeah, you're right. It is a metal rod and at the bottom is like a, a- Metal contraption … yeah. With forks You can kind of skewer the marshmallows or, you know, wieners or whatever you wanna dangle over the fire This is just a dumb game version No, but it could swing. Yeah. You sit back and- Mm-hmm … it's swinging, so it's kind of rotissering itself. Uh, I don't know. But I'll tell you right now- Seems, seems a bit dumb … I don't think I would break it out. Like you have to, you have to be calculated about the camping stuff that you break out amongst a group of people. Yeah. It's like, is this a joke? Am I breaking out a joke thing? Mm-hmm. Am I breaking out something that people will think is a good idea? You break this out, this is for the jokes. It doesn't make it easier. It just doesn't. It actually probably lowers your precision because if you've got your- Yeah … marshmallows on a long skewer kind of thing, you can turn and you can be the rotisserie guy. Mm-hmm. You know? And I've got some that they curve around at the end so they won't, like, poke your friend's eye out in the darkness. It'll break their nose, but it won't poke their eye out. Do you remember, we, we knew that family, they had a, they had a kid who got really, for years he had issues because his brother poked him with a, with a marshmallow, like, coat hanger or something like that. Ugh, yeah. He ended up being fine, but like, boy it was, it ruined the camping trip, I'll tell you that much. Yeah, you need the, you need to get the curved ones. Retractable, curved at the ends. So we're saying- Not- No bueno on this one. We don't like this one … but this, there's just not enough control And it's not even a good joke It, there's no joke You know? It's not even a good joke "Hey, look, I'm fishing." Yeah, yeah. Fishing for s'mores For, for s'mores. It's not really a joke at all. And it's called Firebugz with a Z. If you really want this, you can get this at rustandcinder.com. I wouldn't recommend it. But we don't actually have it with us. Nope. But we do have this one with us. Oh, this is concentrated coffee, which I do think that the concentrated coffee is the way to go when you're camping. No normal I'll just use those little, from the grocery store, uh, the Starbucks Via. A lot of times when you're camping, just the instant coffee. Yeah, instant powdered. Yeah. Pretty good. Boil a c- boil the water, pour in the coffee. I mean, this is a concentrated tube of coffee. It's probably much cheaper than the individual ones, and you can al- also dial in your strength. Can you guess what country this is from? Okay. Well, it's in a tube, and so I would think- Uh-huh. There you go … it would be Scandinavian. Okay. Mm-hmm And I'm gonna go all the way to Finland. Sweden Norway. It's Switzerland. Okay, well. Swiss made, so it's not- Okay, so it's not Scandinavian. No, it's not. But you, but you s- I thought it was. But you seemed- I thought Switz- Hold on. You did the Switzerland, Sweden thing like a lot of Americans do? Yep, yep. I would never do that. I did that. I did that for a second. I wouldn't do that. So no normal classic black, and we have sweet black here. I'm gonna, I wanna go with the classic black. I've emptied my coffee mug. No, we, they got two things for us to stir. Oh, vis- So we, so we can see it happen And it's visible. This is even nicer. Oh, and look what they got, Rhett. Oh, one of my favorite little things. What we loved from the Maine. A, a twisty. It says squeeze the day on it. You take it and- You put it on the back. There's like 30 cups in, in that tube, which is insane. And you go ahead and s- oh, man, this is not gonna be easy. One tablespoon equals for three and a half ounces of water. I don't think, I don't think we need it right here at the beginning 'cause there's- Yeah, but I know you wanna use it. I do wanna use it How do you go-- Oh Look, there's a measuring thing on the side, but how do you, but- It's not a measuring thing it's not a measuring thing. It just like shows you progress. It's like how, how much more you've got. It's kinda purposeless. All right, so I got the, got the hot agua right here. Oh, it's got the little piercer. I love this. It's, it's like, this is like me- uh, prescription ointment that, uh, you put in your body. It saves space. That's my favorite thing about prescriptions And it doesn't create as much trash. How much do you want? Tell me when. Oh. That is- Appetizing … appetizing, boy. Well, all coffee is, is concentrate anyway. I think that's not enough because it says Um- I think that you have little twist key to- Oh, half a, half a teaspoon. Well, you've done that, friend … get it out, but you're just squeezing the tube. Um, you've done enough for both of us, I believe. Don't you think? I'm just gonna do one. Go ahead and do another. In this one? I'll do less in this one. I'm gonna do actual half a teaspoon. Just that much. Just that much? That's gonna be for you then, 'cause you don't want the caffeine and I do All right, so go ahead and pour that. This looks weak. I've actually got a mattress that fits in the back of my, uh, truck that I- Never, you never slept on it. I have never slept on it. I've never even unfurled it. Doesn't smell great. Okay, this doesn't seem- I mean, it smells kinda instant-y … strong, it doesn't seem strong enough by color. I just think we need to add more. I'm gonna just do it until it's the right color That looks great every time. Oh, what? It makes me excited every time. French slug. Let me do it, too. Maybe do a little bit straight in your mouth. You know what I'm gonna do? No, you're gonna do that. What is this, a comedy show? Oh, how do I… This is what I wanna do This is who I wanna be. Why is it not staying on there? Smells like coffee. It's not working. It's w- once it gets a little bit more empty, it'll roll itself and stay Now that's a lot. If that's- You need that much. More, more over here. It tastes like weak diner coffee right now More I mean, we're using so much of it. More. Yeah. This is not… I think we've… Really, though? We're, we're used to strong- You guys are gonna have the zoomies the rest of the day. We're strong coffee boys. That's what we want. And then I want w- 'cause now it looks kinda strong. Now, now I want to add- Do they have decaf? Because, uh, I've been asking about this at restaurants. This is what I think I want. You know? Do you have decaf coffee? And it's like something about the restaurants where the food is really, really good, they don't have it, and then I feel dumb for asking. But I want a little coffee at the end of the night, man. Doesn't seem to have decaf. It's very instant tasting. They do have decaf? No, does not. Does not look like they have decaf. Switzerland, yeah. People in Europe don't understand decaf. If I'm out in a beautiful Swiss- They don't understand … countryside and I'm waking up and I get this, it, it, it'll fulfill a need. Oh, milk helps so much, man. Cream helps so much. But it's still got that, like, very instant coffee taste. It does. I'm not gonna argue with you. So if I'm out there in the wild, like if I was- camping or a camper still, uh, I would take this home with me today. But can I maybe argue against it for a moment? And matter of fact, I might take it home with me. You gotta do something to make the water hot. 'Cause I have a box. You gotta make the water hot, right? Yeah. The, the real challenge in making coffee for yourself while camping is something to get the coffee hot. Yeah. If you're gonna go- Yep, yep … through the trouble of getting coffee hot, is it really that much harder to just brew some coffee? Because they make all these in- 'Cause you're talking about a French press … like a French press. It's, it's, it's- French press … just take a French press and- But if you're backpacking, I think you gotta be a backpacker. Oh, I'm never doing that. And I am not that fool. Never doing that. I am not gonna put stuff on my back and go somewhere that I can't drive. If my car can't make it, I'm not sleeping there. That is crazy. You know what I'm saying? So this is for- I've never walked anywhere to sleep … Swiss backpackers. With everything you wanted on your back? Never. I've never walked to a sleeping destination. If, if you got one of those Airbnbs where I have to park, like, in somebody else's property to walk to, I'm not gonna sleep at your Airbnb. Uh-uh. Yep, yep, yep. I wanna be able to drive into the place I'm sleeping, you know? There's gotta be a garage. Yes, it isn't working for us. It's okay. Let's go to the next item. We hate everything today. Oh, no. Well, we t- I mean- Yeah, but we gave it a fair shot … we're just assessing. Gave it a fair shot. The, now this is weird. It's weird that it seems like if it wa- they did have decaf, you might've been you might've been ready to go for it. I would've loved it. This is so weird. What is this called, Chase? Does it have a name, like a product name? Oh, yeah. Uh, that is the Crotch Pot. Like a Crock-Pot, but- Okay … for your crotch. Hey, so, so if you wanna lose friends, listen up. Um, this is a thing where you put food that you wanna warm up into this bag, and then you put this bag down your pants. Yes, down your pants. It even shows a picture of it going down your pants, not in front of your pants, but- This is on your butt side, and you s- like, put that on your belt loops. You, you strap it to your belt loops or the top of your pants, and then you sit around and warm it up. And then ostensibly, you break it out in front of other people and eat it. You pull a pocket out of your britches. It's really weird that they, they say it's a camp stove. Pff. I mean, I guess, y- yeah, you're providing the heat. Well, some people run real hot. That's true. Some people run real hot. Body heat, cooking- Ultimate fuel-less- on the trail … ultralight backpacking stove, climate change friendly because it has zero carbon monoxide hazards. Uh, I mean- I don't know. I think there's some carbon monoxide that's going through in it. Carbon dioxide, yeah, but- Dioxide … it's more of a Dutch oven situation. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it is literally- It is a Dutch oven a Dutch oven. You're fa- and you're farting on your food. Y- you are. And what if you're sharing? You just are. What if you're sharing? And what food- You're, you're farting on Sharon's food … what food do you want to be this temperature? Like, name a food that you want to be lukewarm. Like, really? Is there something that your body heat gets to ap- an appropriate temperature? This is a thing that I never completely understood about. I don't, I, I can't- Couscous. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. I guess so. You know, our, our former, um, uh, employee here from many years ago- Production assistant … a prod- production assistant who would cook a Hot Pocket in his, uh, pocket. But that was his pocket. He wouldn't cook it. He would warm it with his body heat. But that was a pocket. Yeah. It wasn't, it was, uh, it was down on the leg area. No, I still don't understand it, and I don't stand by it. But did it get it to a temperature where it was acceptable? I don't believe so. No. No. Peas, maybe? Peas? Pea- no. Couscous, peas, I, yeah. You, maybe anything that's spherical. Ooh, soft yes back here. Dippin' Dots? No. No. No, absolutely not. Yeah, this, this doesn't make any sense. This cannot be a successful business endeavor, this thing. No, that's just dumb. Yeah, it seems like a gimmick. It's dumb. But, I mean, again, in the, like, ultra-light backpacking world, maybe it's doing well? See, that's- I can't see it doing that very well … if you, if you get too wild, you're starting to get weird. And if, and if this is up your alley, then you know that you're in the weird world of wildness. Is anybody here a walking camper? Like, the, they, like- Backpacker … yes. A walking camper. Mm-hmm. James, of course. James. Yeah, and let's- You're, you're still doing it, huh? Let's not follow his lead. You're still doing it. Mister I took my shoes off. Des- despite. Despite what happened. Fell in a stream and went over a waterfall. The reason I don't do it is because I don't trust myself to have a sleeping arrangement on the ground that will not result in me waking up and having a horrible day because of my back. Okay. That's why I don't do it. That's my defense. I don't do it because I deserve better. Yeah, that too. You know? I like to be able to crank up my tent and drive it away. And that's where this comes in. Now, this is a battery-powered ice maker. Okay. Ice is so important, and it's the hardest thing to have when you're camping. HOMVOL. You gotta use a lot of power to make ice, and that's why there's a battery on the machine and then two backup batteries, and then a thing to plug into your car. Like, this is- Mm-hmm … this is gonna use a lot of battery power. But there's nothing, there's nothing like having, like, a, a nice iced beverage, you know? Of course, a cooler full of ice with, like, cans of drinks in it, pretty good too. I, uh- Pretty good too … says six to eight minutes to make ice with this thing, so it's gotta be very, very powerful. It's impressive. I've, I've been noticing something in the- I don't believe it … um, I was recently in a, a, in a place where I was taking a lot of big Ubers with other people. Big Ubers. Big Ubers. Like, the SUV Ubers. Okay. And I was noticing the trend is to have, if you've got the … You've got some coffee on your hand that you're getting on places now, but just so you know. But it's okay. Gone, it's gone now. I feel it. It absorbed. Feel it. It's a black shirt. Thank you, though. In the Escalades, 'cause a lot of the Uber drivers have either the Suburban or the Escalade. Mm-hmm. Like, the big ones. And they, they have captain's chairs in the second row. In between the captain's chairs, cooler in the car. Pop the top, cold beverages. Electric cooler, no ice, right? No ice, but I bet you could do it if you wanted to. Well, but you don't need to. And the other thing, the other trend- It's a fridge. You're, you're describing a fridge. Well, don't, don't steal my thunder. I actually think this is better. Oh, no. Fridge. Yeah, it's a fridge. And then the other thing- How did I steal your thunder? Are you about, are you about to tell a joke about- No, no- … "And it was a fridge." Stealing my thunder is the wrong word. Don't, uh, don't diminish the incredible thing that I'm talking to you about, whatever- I'm, no, I'm, I'm, I'm just saying it's amazing to have a fridge there. And- More so than a cooler. The other thing that some of them have in- An ice less cooler … are having- … is that game on the iPad, the trivia game on the iPad- Yeah … that we played when we were in New York. Yeah. And I, so I was- You can see that on the Mythical Society. I was in an Uber and I had cold beverages and endless trivia, and I was like, "I don't need a car." Yeah. If I, if I could, if I could, if everywhere I went I was, I was playing trivia and drinking cold beverages- … I would never drive again. This is a rapper lifestyle. It is. Yes. You're talk, you're talking about- Are the rappers doing trivia? You're talking about a Maybach. So what is that? A Maybach is a, is a big- Like, a mobile office? Yeah. Like that thing that Kevin Hart took us around in one time? I think so, yeah. Have we even told that story? I think that was a Sprinter van. Kevin Hart - We, so you remember that thing we shot with Kevin Hart many years ago? It was- It was for his Fit- Kevin Hart Fit channel … Fit channel. And so we went, and we had to shoot one thing on one side of town and another thing on the other side of town. So we were shooting one thing on, in, in, in the, uh, on the West Side, and then we had to go to the Valley to put on leotards basically and, uh, go into an apartment with a bunch of people. Yeah. And he was like, "Y'all want to ride with me in my mobile office?" We're like, "Yeah." So it was just the two of us and Kevin Hart in the back of a m- mobile office going- It's like a S- through Laurel Canyon or whatever. Like a Sprinter van, but it had, like- And it was, like- It was all leather, like, two big leather recliners. And a big television. And a huge TV. And then- Little desk … and then there was some seats behind it, so, like- Do you think he had a fridge and trivia in there? I didn't even think to look. No. But he probably did. He probably had a fridge in there. Yeah, I don't know. What were, what were we talking to him about? He was asking, it was, he was asking a lot of questions about our business, 'cause this was, like, 10 years ago when everybody- Yeah … was like, "Whatever these guys are doing- He was trying to figure something out uh, it-" I don't think we helped him. And we were like, "Man, we don't know what we're doing." Haven't talked to him since. "We're making it up as we go along, you know? Let's just … What else you got in this big truck?" You got some drinks or something, dude? Yeah. "Let's just play trivia." Yeah. Maybe we'll get one of those one day. But so you like this? I like this, but I kinda talked myself into a cooler full of ice that you bring ahead of time. But yeah, I do like it. I gotta go camping again is the main thing I'm beginning to think, and I gotta do it in one of those vans. Th- this is more of… I think this is, like, tailgate vibes. And I gotta bring a trivia game. Tailgate. Not camping. And I gotta get somebody else to drive it. Tailgate. I'll get my wife to drive it. You know how i- if you listen to a Rick Ross song, there's a woman who always says, "M- M- M- M- Maybach music." I don't know if I've listened to a Rick Ross song recent- recently. M- M- M- M- Maybach music. Hold on. She says it in multiple tracks? It's… That's how you know it's a Rick Ross song. M- M- M- M- Maybach music. And, and a Maybach is one of these big tr- big vans? A Maybach is a luxury brand of car that then I think they have these, like, it's a big SUV. Yeah. Okay. You talk about that. I'm gonna look Maybach up. Candwich PB&J sandwich kit. So you take, you screw the top off of this plastic can, and it's got stacks of these pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in it? Yep. Um, you might, like, a two-pack, like the picture, where you can get strawberry and grape. But how many are stacked in each one? Uh, let's see. It looks like there are- 15 grams of protein, six grams of fat. It doesn't, I can't see the, I can't see the count on there, but- So not a lot of information on their website. It's kinda like an Uncrustable, but it's more li- it's more like a pita. Mercedes owns them. Yeah, it's a Mercedes, like a Sprinter Van. It's like a Rolls Royce from Mercedes. It looks like a car, actually. How have I never- So it looks like a- Oh, oh, no, no, it's a brand. They ha- they have, they, it's just a really nice c- they have, like, the sports car. They, they have a big SUV. The big SUV, and it probably- I've seen these driving around … they probably kit these things out. Rick Ross is a big man. And I thought that it was just a Rolls Royce, 'cause I just don't pay attention to this kinda thing. I just, it just sort of, like, rolls- When you get one of those, you should listen to some Rick Ross. All right, I guess I'm gonna have to get a Maybach now. M- m- m- Maybach music. With a cooler in it, with the trivia. Yeah, that's what, that's what he's gonna do. He might get camping. And can it just be one? I'm gonna take this car camping. It looks like it's one per can. There's one serving in that can. Okay, one per can. That's weird. I'm gonna go camping in that car. I'll be out there sleeping in the Adirondacks.
