Camping on the Great Wall of China: A 3-Day Adventure on Remote Sections

Experience the Great Wall of China like never before with a 3-day camping trip on its remote, less-traveled sections. This adventure involves hiking along crumbling and restored parts of the wall, sleeping in tents, and enjoying stunning sunrises. The journey includes local homestays, challenging terrain, and breathtaking views, offering a unique perspective away from tourist crowds.

English Transcript:

Did you know that you can camp on top of the Great Wall of China? Neither did we until a few weeks ago. Visiting the Great Wall is a bucket list stop for everyone traveling here. Wow, I can't believe we just slept on the Great Wall. Most people just end up spending a couple hours on a small section closest to Beijing that is packed with tourists. But the Great Wall is thousands of miles long. We want to show you a different way to experience the Great Wall. One that's far away from the crowds and a little more raw and uncomfortable. I don't think we're going to sleep tonight. So, for the next 72 hours, we'll be hiking along remote sections of the wall,

basically mountain climbing. Some that have been restored and others that are crumbling because they haven't been touched in hundreds of years. Along the way, we'll be stopping off at local home stays for food. We'll be spending two nights in tents and each morning we'll have the rare opportunity to watch the sunrise standing on top of one of the seven wonders of the world. But this adventure is not for the faint of heart. Hiking along the wall is not exactly easy. Some of the local delicacies are interesting. I thought my butt eating days were over.

Don't eat the head. Huh? The head. And the sleeping situation isn't exactly comfortable. Really cold. Oh, Charlie. So, join us and our friend Charlie for an epic adventure on the Great Wall. Oh, yeah. And if you haven't met Charlie, we met trekking to Ever Space Camp back in 2016, and this is our 14th country we've traveled to together. He's [screaming] one of the best humans on the planet and an amazing travel companion because he brings so much fun and laughter to all of our trips. He's coming in hot. So, you're in for a real treat because he's going to be joining us for the majority of our trip here in China.

This adventure is beginning with a 2 and a half hour drive from Beijing to the Great Wall with our awesome local guide for the week, Oliver. Coming. He helped us pass the time by attempting to teach us some Mandarin phrases. Carum. Her name is Carum. Yeah, we're really getting in over our heads on this Chinese lesson. Hey, hey, sure. Hey, hey, hey, how very delicious. We're almost there. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are east now. Okay, today we're hiking, you know, 4 hours east to meet the wind. Yeah, today just warm up. Okay. Tomorrow longer.

Our hike is taking us up there. Wow, the trees are beautiful this time of year. Wow, look at the Should we rise? Sure. You go first. The Great Wall of China is over 13,000 mi long, built over the course of 2,000 years, but we plan to see about 20 m of it over the course of 3 days. So, the Great Wall is actually one of very few places that Cara and I visited in China before we were here back in 2014 before we even started this YouTube channel using the very first GoPro that I ever had. We were just travel babies back then and everywhere we went, our eyes were just super wide. But looking

back, even with everywhere we've traveled over the last 14 years, that was a super special experience because when we got here, it snowed and they closed down the Great Wall. So, we basically had the place all to ourselves. But this time, we're taking a slightly more strenuous route to get up to the wall. Very tired. But I'm so glad to be back and get to spend more time here. Oh, we made it. We just hiked 28 minutes straight up some steps and we are officially at the Great Wall of China. You like this? Awesome. Look at this.

What a view. Wow. It just goes on forever. When were the grill built? Which year? 1382. 717 BC. Mm- Because at that time there were many small countries kingdom on the middle of China. So they have their own territories but they trying to gain more territories. That's why different kingdoms fight each other. That's why in order to protect themsel that's why the king told the people to build a different section of the wall around their own territories for sale protection. It took a 20 dynasty more than 2,400 years. Wow. I didn't expect to shop in the tower. Cute lady look. This is original size like this high. Now you can see the wall different. Now you know which is Mongolia which is China. Along Mongol time, the wall is higher cuz they're protecting.

Yeah. For protecting. Yeah. In Mongolia, you need a lot of big hole. Little hole for archery. Just walking on the great wall. It's incredible how much work this would have taken to build because the wall goes along the ridge of a mountain. That was obviously like natural fortification and there's a reason that they built it up here. But they had to carry all the rocks all the way to the top of the mountain to build thousands of miles of wall. means hold the weap, so because the stairs are super narrow and steep, one person can take on 10,000.

Apparently, [clears throat] this is the section of the wall that they do the Great Wall marathon on, and it's brutal. Not only is it steep, but there's all these rocks sticking up and steps everywhere. Boom. That would be me. I think I'd fall in my face. So, we entered the Great Wall at that tower and today's hike is taking us all the way over there. That's the end. That's 9Ks away. Look how big these steps are. Can you imagine trying to run down this? Charlie, are we signing up for the marathon? Yep. Absolutely. I'm going to slide my way down. We have two options. This is the detour, but we have to skip to tower.

No, we have to get to the wall here. And then the option two is follow the wall. One, two, three. R competition. You take the detour. Yeah, we do detour. Let then me and let's see who can get there first. Huh? Okay. Hold on. You told me you would piggy back me. Don't have me. Piggy back. This guy will be a piggy back. Big bones. You're going to win. Yeah. Good luck. So Oliver told us that he has climbed this wall over,500 times. Oliver is basically the Chinese version of Charlie. They're getting along way too well.

Wait, wait, wait. We need a break from us already. Oh my gosh. They don't stop talking. Good race. How long have you been here? Good. An hour? No, no, no, no. Maybe 5 minutes. Practice your Chinese. Oh, no. Okay. I don't know. Gab. Cheers, team. This was definitely not part of the experience that I was expecting, but every few towers, they have a little shop, they've got food, they've got drinks, they've got beer. So, we're having our first little break. Look at the moon rising behind that tower. That is incredible.

What an incredible first sunset on the Great Wall. Good day, team. Amazing day. Craziest day. Yeah, bro. I can't believe this is happening. Good team walk. Great teamwork. Good team walk. I never thought I'd watch the sunset from the Great Wall of China. Wow. Being on the Great Wall during the day is cool, but being here at sunset in this light, I don't don't usually use this word, but all that's coming to mind is magical. And I think this section of the wall is way more beautiful than the one we visited last time. Like, it's not just the wall, it's the jagged mountains. Like, the landscape here is just so incredible.

Today has been so much fun. Like, you know, just going on a hike with your friends and laughing and talking the whole time is fun. But every like five minutes or so, I would be like, "We're on the Great Wall of China." And then you look back and you just see it going on for ages. It's truly a magical experience. Why aren't y'all holding hands? So, we've just come down off the wall and this isn't a cohesive hiking trip. Like we're not on the wall the whole time moving just from point A to point B, which honestly I was a little disappointed about at first, but we're

currently going off the wall back to town. We're going to have a hot dinner and then we're going to come back up and camp. And right now a hot meal in town sounds absolutely amazing. Minor two. It's going to be a cold night. Yeah. Are you in my tent to keep me warm? Hey, you have one. Juan is our driver for the trip. Yes. So, he picked us up. He dropped us off. He's waiting for us here at the bottom. He doesn't speak English, but he's always laughing and smiling. What? I thought you said I guess it counts as vegetarian.

Thought my bug eating days were over. Oh, gross. We've got probably the biggest grasshoppers I've ever seen. Oh my gosh, they're all stuck together. Look how big. Look how big its eyes are. Oh, got big. It's happening. I got a piece of wing. Charlie, how was it? Surprisingly good. Car, how was it? I didn't hate it. You eat all about the back. People don't eat the head. Huh? The head. Did you eat that?

I can't tell without being gas. This has been one of my favorite meals in China so far. All of these dishes get put on the spinny table and it's just family style. You just spin around, grab what you want, put it on your plate, and everything has been so delicious. Okay, I hate being cold and I'm very nervous about tonight because it's supposed to get down to -2°. So, I'm stocking up on layers. First, I have my wool layers. Layer number two is this sweater, some hiking pants, and this is my favorite part, a heated vest, puppy jacket, and gloves. So, if I'm not warm in this, I'm not really sure what else I can put on.

Show us your outfit. So, I'm wearing a pair of on pants. Charlie didn't bring pants and a beanie. How are those thermals? I kid you not. Charlie brought a speedo, but he didn't bring gloves again. You think Charliey's going to freeze? Yeah, I think so. Maybe you three stay together. Yeah. This is your pillow. Oh, thanks. Wow. This is your pillow. Thank you. Oh, pillow in a bag. Have you got my tent? Somebody got my tent.

You're welcome for carrying your tent, Chad. Warm you up. Because my hands are so cold, I can't hold on to it. Your leggings are so cute. Are those Lulu? Okay, this is actually epic. We are camping on the wall. Got it. I've done this a few times. Oh my god. Like I'm going to have a break. My tailbone right now is like digging into a rock. It's like I'm lying on nothing at all. Air. Wa. We're living in the future. You ever seen anyone blow up a pillow in the real world? Pillow party.

Bye. Feeling that was coming. The last time we slept outside with Charlie in Namibia, it was quite dramatic. Charlie's doing the same thing. I feel like I just have one in my shirt. Thankfully, I haven't seen any bugs yet. And let's just hope tonight is lovely. All right. Space for one more. Come on in. It's cold in there. It's like a once in a-lifetime opportunity to camp on one of the seven wonders of the world. But what but you know logistically it's like not the risk.

Never mind smells like urine. It could be me. Good night Charlie. Good night. Good luck. Sleep well. Good night. What a funny time. This is one of those things that maybe sounded better in theory. I'm sitting on such a massive rug right now. I'm really cold. Oh, Charlie. Cuz I was the one that got stuck with one sleeping mat and not two. So, I have no sympathy for Charlie. Everyone else got two midnight. I actually think I'm on the side with two right now. No, but I do think I'm on the bigger rock. You know, cuz I love you.

I don't think we're going to sleep tonight. Oh, I think it's just burp grasshopper. Oh gosh. This could be the worst night of sleep of my life. Sleeping bags get better. I'm nice and warm. I'm definitely warm, which was my biggest fear. But I wasn't afraid of a big rock in my back, so we'll see how this goes. But we're camping on the Great Wall, which is pretty epic. I can't hear anything with my ear. Did you ask me a question? Wish us luck. I need to see your lips moving. Before we go any further, I want to say a massive thank you to Surf Shark for not only sponsoring this video, but

also for keeping us connected here while traveling around China. A VPN is the only way that we've been able to continue to access sites like Google Drive and YouTube, the sites that we need to continue to run our business and upload these videos. If you don't already know, a VPN stands for virtual private network and it can be used to change the virtual location of your computer. Normally, we give the example of being able to change the virtual location of your computer to get access to new content so that you can do things like watch the office in the US by changing it to Canada, but on this trip it was even more important because you can't technically access sites like YouTube here in China. So, Surf Shark is the only way that we could continue

uploading these videos. A VPN also encrypts all the data sent between your computer and the internet so that no one can steal your sensitive information, which gives us extra peace of mind when we're connecting to sketchy Wi-Fi networks. So, if you don't already have a VPN, we highly recommend Surf Shark. We've been using it for over 5 years now.

And there's also a 30-day money back guarantee. So, there is no risk to try it out.

Why? But wait in the middle of the night. I won't say it was my best night of sleep ever, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Time to go watch the sunrise over the Great Wall. Wow. I can't believe we just slept on the Great Wall, but I can't help but think about the guards that must have lived up here during these winters with no sleeping bags. I'm sure they had furs or something, but that would have been a rough life. That's the tower we slept in last night. Drawway scale of 1 to 10, how cold were you? Oh, is one cold. Sure. Early on 6:00 and then in this morning 3 probably I was in the fetal position and then I was like I think my toes are getting very cold but then I'd

fall asleep but I'd wake up cuz I was drooling into my bubble pillow and it was like a little ice bath. So cold I have to turn the pillow. That was you. I don't know if I can say it in front of Charlie. What do you mean? Did you sleep really well? I woke up at like 3 and had to take my coat off cuz I was sweating. That's like a good climb as soon as you wake up. Look at that view. Wow. This is the world over there covered up by the Japanese. It's pretty crazy in my mind. picture the Great Wall and these towers being used thousands or at least 500 years ago. But the Great Wall was actually

used as recently as the early 1930s to protect China from the Japanese invasion, which was kind of the beginning of World War I. Like eventually the whole world got pulled into it. Crazy to think that less than 100 years ago, this was actually being used for military purposes. I could hear. Yes, Oliver, you snored. I snore. I could hear you, but I had my [clears throat] earplugs in. Really? You're like a tutu train. Tot. So, this is kind of embarrassing, but for all the complaining that we've done, I got my highest sleep score of the entire trip last night on my watch. I think it's the first time our body's

been fully acclimated to jet leg. But I slept 7 hours and 22 minutes. They say it's good to sleep in the cold. You know, maybe there is something to it. Were you cold a little bit? It's like that. You feel cold. We're back at our guest house. For breakfast, we're having fried eggs, cucumber salad, Chinese pancakes, which have quickly become one of my favorite Chinese foods. We have kanji soup, which kind of feels like a watery oatmeal tea. But most importantly, we have coffee. Thankfully, we brought our own instant coffee to a tea drinking country. This morning was a close one.

Day two. Let's go. So, the plan for the morning was to head back to the wall where we ended the hike yesterday to continue on. But in route, Oliver noticed a temple fair that was going on. I think it's like a market at the temple. So, we're uh making a quick stop. Perfect place to practice our Mandarin. How do you open it? How do I say good? There we go. How can I still not open? Hi, Alex. I think she understands. What a spot. I think this is ginger. The logo breakfast. This is an egg with the bird still in it.

This one is like the nest from the bird. Oh, car just ordered a bird nest drink. Yeah. This one. Charlie should try. Charlie, you want to try? It's very delicious. Okay. From what I understand, this is a super healing Chinese tea. It's got pear, mushrooms, and what are these things on the top? Boji. Bear. Boji. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Okay. It's so hot. Really, really good. I'm so happy it's not a bird. How often does this happen? This market?

Uh maybe once a month. Ah, we're lucky. This market has everything from developed bird eggs to pig faces to peanuts to gloves and clothes, beans. So far, we've only been in the cities in China. We're just getting to see a totally different side of the country right now. right, we are back on the section of the wall that we left off of yesterday. You're not allowed to camp on this section of the wall, which is why we went somewhere else last night. But it's supposed to be one of the most beautiful

parts of the wall, which is why we're hiking this during the day. And we'll do the same thing later tonight. Once we finish our hike here, we'll drive to camp somewhere else. So there are these sections of the wall that get skinnier, maybe where only one or two people could pass. This was in case any invaders got on the wall. That way they had to go through these choke points and it was easier to defend the wall if people got up here and were trying to attack. They'd only be able to take out a couple towers before they got to one of these and they could set up and easily defend themselves here. Pretty genius engineering all around. So, if Cara was an intruder, I could hide behind this wall and then as she's coming, I didn't know she had a

weapon. So, according to Charlie, so take this with a grain of salt, the steps are so uneven and not straight. Like, one will be this steep and then the next one is this steep. And that was a strategy. So, the soldiers trying to invade would come in and trip. They couldn't just run straight up the steps. And it works for tourists as well. It's not easy. This might be one of my favorite views of the wall. It's good, actually. You can just see so much of it from here. This gives you such a good perspective of the wall. So, for context, we came from right there yesterday. That's where

our hike started. And it doesn't look far, but the way the wall weaves and goes up and down, we've done quite a bit of hiking. He's dead. Yeah. We found a dead grasshopper on the wall. And we actually got the story of where these came from last night. We were camping with two other people that was organized through the same host family and they were actually hiking on the wall with the lady who cooked us dinner last night and she said that she was collecting grasshoppers all day on their hike and she didn't know why. So we actually ate grasshoppers from the Great Wall for dinner last night.

Fresh ones. And uh props to Charlie. We turned off the camera and he ate six. Car and I ate one combined. So to the left of the wall is all military zone and we are about to do an hourong detour walk around this side. We have to stay off the wall so we can't see what's going on down there. In summary so far, we started here yesterday. We walked all the way up to this tower and then we walked all day long to here and then we left to go eat and sleep. And then today we came back here where we left off and now we're here. This is that military zone that we're not allowed in. So, we're going to go on a little trail off-roading to somewhere here. This is the intruders would be going around the

tower in the night trying to take over. It's actually pretty crazy to think about that. Like, I feel like a lot of our trip so far is just like, "Wow, so beautiful." Like, the views have just been insane. Like, it's so much more than just the wall. But then to really think about the history that's here. Like, if these walls could talk, just imagine. You okay? and safe. So, we made it around the military zone. We're back on the wall. And I just learned that we're actually walking back to where we camped last night. If you look out in the distance, you can actually see the tower that we

watched the sunrise from. This section of the tower feels totally different than where we've been cuz it hasn't had any reconstruction. So, what we're seeing here is all just what's basically been decayed by nature for the last 600 years. Feels a lot more wild over here. It's so cool. Also, Nate and I have the same hairstyle right now. It's my first bun. It's amazing what they've been able to restore. And it's cool being able to see like what it used to look like. But there is something about these original structures that have just been here aging for so long. Really, really cool.

We're back. Let me show you what I slept on last night. This was the small of my back. Like it was like I had a support pillow and then I would turn to my side and I'd be here and then I would turn to this side and it would be here on my stomach. This was in between us. So I had to sleep as far this way as possible so I can sleep on this flat rock right here. Oh wow. Charlie is just completely flat and comfortable. Wow. This is looks so dreamy, doesn't it? With the steam. It is. Wow. Definitely the best meal we've had in China so far. If I'm being honest, before this trip, pretty much all I knew about Chinese

food was Panda Express. And so, I really thought we were just going to be having like meat and rice the whole time. We have had the most beautiful colorful spread of vegetables, and we haven't had the same thing twice. Let's go wild for Nanuk's house. Let's go. I love your shorts. Yeah, you said you wear short. You walk crazy here. Good night, Juan. Bye-bye. Byebye. Sleep good in your warm room. What? I Does he want to come camp with us? Well, I [snorts] made it very He's a smart man.

He's not camping. We're going together. All right, we've driven 2 hours to a new section of the wall. We've had dinner and now we're about to start a 30 minute hike up to where we're going to be camping tonight. There is an empty guest house behind us with nice warm rooms with heaters. And we just want to make that known that we could have stayed there. We It was a very tempting option, but we're heading back up into the cold. It's already below freezing, but you know, you're only on the Great Wall for probably two nights in your life. Not coming back.

Okay, let's go. Come to the wall. Just climbing up a ladder over a 2,700y old wall. Just a day in the life of the Great Wall of China. Ooh, little rickety. So cool. Amazing. And look at the view down in the valley. I cannot believe we're climbing up this stairwell. I'm glad we didn't stay in the hotel [snorts] room. We were actually so close. We were really close. How's your fear of heights going? I can't see anything. Yeah. Oh, wow. The steps have gotten dramatically smaller. So different heights with no warning.

Stop an invader in the dark. Yeah, it's stopping me, too. Basically mountain climbing. Ow. To get up here. Bang my knee so hard. You got to be tough. Wow. This is great. Completely different setup than last night. Tents were already up here when we got here. All right. Home sweet home. This our last night on the Great Wall. It's an inside. Never thought I'd say. It's much more comfortable tonight. We got a nice flat spot. Two sleeping bags each. See you in the morning for sunrise.

Good night, Charlie. Well, a little chilly. We brought up a thermos of hot water in hopes of having a coffee on the Great Wall this morning. Good morning, Car. It's steamy. My bladder is very full. It'll be warm though. I can wee on like a cup for you. Good morning, Charlie. Thank you, Nate. Wow. So beautiful. I slept so well last night. There was no rock under my back. Perfect temperature. Can you see Charlie being in the background? So, quickly, this is the setup. We hiked up from that village last night up the

valley and then just slept on this open space in the gray wall last night. Now, I'm going to eat to be cool. How did you sleep? No bad but a little bit cold. I wear all my clothes cuz I'm ready for my second one now. Is it time to brush our teeth? Yeah. You got to go brush our teeth. Dad says I'm going to go to the bathroom. He doesn't like being cold. Dad's cold. He's ready to go back.

Oliver has been the best. The first night the camping spot was like a little hard, a little rockier than I expected it to be. It was freezing cold the next morning and last night was perfect and this morning's perfect. It's not even cold. Heading down. It was so hard getting up here last night. I don't worry. I won't kick any rocks on you. All right. [clears throat] I feel like this morning will give you a little bit more appreciation of what we climbed up in the dark last night. It's almost mountain climbing and not hiking. Like a monkey goat. I do feel like a mountain goat, but not as graceful. This is crazy. As soon as we descended, a group of like 30 people at least climbed up on this wall. It's really made me appreciate

one, last night and this morning, we were up here alone. Felt like we're in the middle of nowhere. But also, just this whole trip so far, we've seen hardly anyone. We've not experienced this at all. Everyone's really cute and happy. So, I'm not sad about this experience, but it's really made me appreciate the rest of our trip. Here we go. I have one hand. Goodbye. All right, we're heading back down to the guest house where we had dinner last night. We're going to have some breakfast and we're going to drive and come back to a different portion of the

wall that's really close to here and do our final hike of the trip. ONE, [screaming] how did you sleep? You should have come with this one. My hands are cold. GOLD ONE. I love it. It's keeping warm. This is where we could have slapped. It would have been cute with the three of us right here. Last take. So we s high from this village and walk all the way up to that tower. Oh wow. Is about 1,500 m away from here. So take around 1 hour normally. Then from there we'll hiking to the east side between 4 and 5 hour hike.

Last hike and then the grand finale of taking a slide off the great wall. The village fridge. So you climb down a little ladder of bricks into the side and you store all of the fresh veggies like the cabbage, the corn. How long was it? Stay fresh. Stay fresh for the whole winter. All the cabbage is frozen this morning. Little goats. This guy's got a big horn. Good morning. So cute. Look at this one standing up. When I was growing up, we had goats for a few years. And this smell reminds me of my childhood.

Yeah, it's just a very nostalgic smell for me. Three, two, ONE. [screaming] We made it back to the wall. Last clap. Wow. Vibes are high now that we're back at the wall. Keep the Mongols out. Hey, so that is where we camped last night. We went down in the valley for breakfast, climbed all the way back up. Whose idea was that? Huh? Your English is falling apart all of a sudden. Nice work, team. [clears throat] Good work. And I'm too busy looking.

Hey, no, no, no. You could just see the wall wrapping all the way across the ridge. That's incredible. After 3 days on the wall, what are your thoughts on the Great Wall and the full experience? I think it's surprisingly varied. The terrain is awesome. Uh the walks are challenging, much more challenging than I think I would have thought. Some of the trails are really overgrown. It's sunny, vibes are high, and I think in general, the views are just spectacular. I'm getting flashbacks in Namibia. Man, I'm getting tired. It's a good thing it's our last day and we're almost done with this. I mean, I'm having fun, but Charlie says we've moved from type one to type two fun.

It's steeper than it looks and it's loose rocks and slippery. Pretty steep on the downhills. To be fair, this wasn't extracurricular. We didn't have to come up here. He actually suggested we didn't. Yeah, Oliver took a break at the bottom. I don't think you can even tell how steep this picture is. You can tell based on the fact that you have to hold the wall, but if I do the camera like this, it looks flat and crooked.

Make it look steep. I like So, we started the hike this morning at that tower. hiked along the wall all the way up there to the top and we'll continue this way through the forest. Hold the wall. Okay. Oh wow, that's a serious drop. This is actually pretty sketch. There's not much to grab onto. Careful. On the venture, you made it. Oh my god, I hate this so much. Oh no. Oh man, I'm quivering. I was worried for you. I'm glad I did a we little bit more. That was legit. It's a 20ft fall if you go down.

Oh gosh. We've just made it back to the section of the wall where anybody can come. We've had to get special permission to go where we were last night, where we camped, and where we've hiked this morning. And this has just given me such a better appreciation for what we just got to do. This is what I was worried the whole hike was going to be like. And we've had the most exceptional time beyond this little barricade on a rustic part of the wall. That blue wall is as far as any of the tourists can go. The only people we have talked to have been like a handful of Chinese people, like just enough for us to practice our Chinese and have a good time. But other than that, we've had it to ourselves.

Gambe, boys. Gambe. So Oliver was just explaining to us that this section of the wall is the closest to Beijing, and that's why there's so many people here. So pro tip, even if you don't come do the camping thing, we started on a section called Jing Shaolin, and it was easily accessible. Any tourist can come, but there was 12th, 150th of the amount of people. So if you're planning a trip to the Great Wall, go there. not wherever we are right now. In a very full circle moment, we have ended up back at the exact place that we saw the Great Wall for the first time. We rode the chair lift and then this is how we got down. And once again, we're taking the lose down.

No brakes for the whole time. Oh, IT'S KIND OF FAST. OH, THIS IS GREAT. OH, HE'S COMING IN HOT. HE'S COMING IN WOO! OH, just as much fun as I remember. I just flipped it. HE'S COMING IN HOT. Why is it so much faster? That was great. [clears throat] Woohoo! What a way to end it. That last guy told me to slow down. I think Charlie got yelled at by every person. What a way to end it.
