You got a dick with that problem!?!
I want an outdoor wireless camera that I can stream to Youtube.

I am fairly familiar with OBS and streaming in general, but setting up a camera outside and using it as a wireless video source are new concepts to me.

For the camera, things I care about:

Weatherproof/durable
Battery Life
Ability to attach a standard tri-pod mount. My mounting options are limited so I am thinking some kind of c-clamp style mount.
Night Vision
Easy access to the wifi output of the camera as a video source.

Any recommendations/tips/advice would be welcome.

Get a cheap android phone for outdoor use and install DroidCam on it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dev47apps.droidcam&hl=de&gl=US.

Then install DroidCam for Windows on your home computer and use DroidCam as a video source in OBS.

This was a great solution, BTW. I managed to slap this together with an old phone I had in a drawer and free software.
