Dan, you are so blessed to have such an awesome area to live in. You are a perfect example of off grid living and it’s wonderful. You and Lando are great friends and it’s good to see that you have him with you have a great camping day week and I’ll be watching you and dreamed it that I would be camping in that type of wilderness😊
HI DAN & LANDO 👋 GLAND YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE CHOPPY LAKE WATER 💧 BEAUTIFUL CAMPSITE & SETUP . SOMETIMES IT IS NICE TO HEAR RAIN 🌧 DROPS FALLING ON THE TENT FABRIC ⛺ PUTS YOU RIGHT TO SLEEP HOPEFULLY 💤 EVEN IF YOU ENDED UP NOT USING THE WOOD STOVE IT GIVES YOU PRACTICE IN THE LONG RUN 👍 PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER . BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏
My hubby is an outdoor kinda of guy and he has taught me a lot about nature, how to start a fire, and what is eatable and what is not. How to start a fire. I truly love you and your folk's content for sure!!
Great job Dan! So much more of your playful side came out in this video! The Lando kiss was classic!!! It’s nice to hear you appreciate the blessings you enjoy. Looking forward to next week!
Dan - I really like the style of your videos and am very much enjoying what you post. The canoe out trip looked amazing with that stunning scenery, you and Lando seemed to have a great time & that steak sandwich looked amazing :)
Really enjoyed the video Dan I’m glad you were able to get out and do at least an overnighter. Some bell peppers and onions would’ve been really good on that sandwich, but it looked really good the food keep the videos coming buddy. Ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Who's controlling the drone while you're walking by the tent, lol. What a coincidence, I had steak at the camp for supper the other night and breakfast sausage sandwich for breakfast the next day. Lol.
@@danvanstralen Nice, I didn't know it was possible to do that with a drone. Like when you are paddling in the canoe and there's a shot from above you. What kind of drone is it? I could use that for security jobs and checking roof conditions for people.
Dan and Lando, the two coolest campers in Canada! That's quite a spot you had for your camp, very nice! Great job on getting the fire going and hanging on to your Man card too 👍👌🤠
Thanks Dan - sorry viewing it so late - I like your vlogging technique - loved going camping - used to go when I was younger. Keep the videos coming - really enjoying them. Man from Kansas!
Nicely done! Some great info and beautiful scenery -- especially that campfire bread. Lando is livin' the life most dogs could only dream of. And when it comes to culinary achievement you are decades ahead of me and all of my friends at your age. Kudos to Carol for imparting such knowledge!
Nice fire Dan. Love your teepee tent and your steak sandwich was to die for. Very smart to have a cooking back up plan to fall back on. You and Lando make a good team. Looking forward to your next vid.
@@danvanstralen maybe just a water proof mat & maybe a sm rug on top for Lando - to keep it simple and light weight. 👍 I like to think of my dogs similar to kids, they get cold and hungry too. Did you take food for Lando as well. Viewers live Lando and would like it if you showed her well fed and a warm dry bed. 👍 Not that you didn’t do those things, viewers just enjoy seeing that stuff. Yeah - loved ur shot of Lando on ur cot.
Carrying that canoe up that hill must have been tough. It's a good reason to be in shape. I had complete confidence you could start that fire. An easy job for Bushcraft Dan. Hahahaha!
This was great! Very efficient. Since we will not see if you were caught in the rain I am guessing it would not have mattered. Great job and great video.
Another cool video! I like the way you blended the drone shot into your video. I know for sure I could not carry that canoe up the clif like you did, totally amazing! Very smart move on using the cot! Thanks again for doing this video! I picked up a lot of good info on ways to make my camping more enjoyable! Looking forward to your future videos. Rick From Virginia
Thanks for hauling all that so we can have a great video! The wind! Smart and thoughtful camper. Nice fire. I think it’s man and woman’s birthright. Are you safe from a bear? Fabulous dinner! What about nap time? Lol
Great video Dan! Thank you for taking us along! Beautiful scenery!Good job on starting the fire and also your cooking are great! Both meals looked delicious! That’s all that counts!
I think all you really need is a good ❤❤❤❤size. Tarp, if you had a good sized tarp right over the top of where you are and over the Canoe, then you'd stayed pretty dry and it would have been really easy to do, and light. I'd lay it right across the Canoe. And then put it down with rocks or something. I wouldn't even try having it up very high. I'd still sleep under the Canoe. Just the way you did just seal it up around with some tarp.
Hi Dan! That was a great video! What a beautiful places to camp! I was worried you were going to fall backwards carrying that Canoe up that hill.🤣 I was telling my friend that it’s really to bad that more men your age don’t know how to do half of the outdoor things you know how to do! Or just anything you do. You are an amazing young man. Do you worry about bears out there with Lando wondering around?
Thanks Sandy! Bears are always a concern in the north but are actually pretty rare to come across. The majority of bears we have are black bears which rarely would come near to a camp where they can smell a dog. I also have bear spray just in case. 👌🏻
I love seeing how you have grown into such a self reliant man, I love your perseverance, and I hope this channel continues to grow. BTW thank you for showing me how to use my fire starter, I’ve never actually tried it out, you made it look so easy!
You might have picked a less steep spot to do the portage...lol. They are light canoes but can weigh alot too. Good video. Reminded me of some lakes in the north of my province. I understand why my friend from Ontario always commented how the north reminded her of home.
That day was actually rather pleasant around 25 Celsius and not to humid. Usually during this time it’s humid and buggy but I got lucky for my camping trip!
Awesome weekend trip!! A loaded canoe of a rolling lake can get interesting. Lando even questioned it haha. I cheered as the fire started . As you said it is something primal and deep within. Okay, fire starting with flint and steel 10 points. Come on bud, bud come on using spray can olive oil. Hey just had to rip on ya lol. Oh and your neighbors in the south lost it when you washed your cast iron in the lake. Got to leave the seasonings! Aside from the ripping in ya I do greatly thank you for allowing us to join you on these solo adventures. The cove and the camp sight looked amazing!!!! Your set up was amazing. What was the temperature when you got there and then after rain? Big swing in temp? Super glad the mosquitos left y'all along!!! Lastly I have some questions. What pants are those? Really like the look and seem to be rugged with the extra pads and pockets. What size is your waist and do they run true in size? Want to order me some but want to make sure they fit. Again thanks for the adventure Dan.
Hi Dan, loving your content,. I do have a quick question. I see that your tent has an open floor, Do the mosquitoes bother you with having nothing on the ground?
Just saw your y ear old videost to deo on your solo camping trip to Pirates Cove. That much physical exertion looked difficult ,especially the canoe. On another note you stated about being somewhat of an introvert. Besides nature how do you get your warm fuzzies?
Very satisfying knowing you can start a fire without butane lol I absolutely love the solitude of the Canadian wilderness we are very lucky indeed… great video Dan and thanks for taking us alone 🤙🏻🇨🇦be safe eh PS LOL what are your thoughts on Sasquatch and Ik your channel isn’t about that but I was just wondering your thoughts because Canadas wilderness is so vast that it could hide such a being…
@@danvanstralen A buddy of mine and his wife owns the company. I sent him your video. One day in the future when you are older, plan to climb Mt. Moran in the Tetons. You have to canoe two lakes with one 1/2 kilometer portage. Then after storing your canoes on the bank, you hike up to base camp, then the next day climb it. Easy 5th class so you will have to learn to use rope. Simulclimbing is the quickest way up. You both climb at the same time and switch leads as each leader runs out of gear. Teewinot is another great climb that requires no ropes.
Hello Dan. I do not know what happened but You Tube for 5 days from each foreign language film took me subtitles in Polish. I still watch the videos I subscribe to, but the content I guess from what I see. A lot of Health for you.
Great video, Dan! Is that the same tent your parents used to go ice camping this past winter? Would love to have the links to some of your gear, like the cot and the water proof container.
Dan, you are so blessed to have such an awesome area to live in. You are a perfect example of off grid living and it’s wonderful.

Thanks 👍
Hello dan what a lovely person you are yes I enjoyed your video yes endeed very relaxing 🎉🎉thank you for sharing it
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Birch bark is natures paper....lol
Who's controlling the drone while you're walking by the tent, lol. What a coincidence, I had steak at the camp for supper the other night and breakfast sausage sandwich for breakfast the next day. Lol.
😂. I just let the drone hover and set down the remote while I walked outside, that’s why there was a bit of a shake. 👌🏻
@@danvanstralen Nice, I didn't know it was possible to do that with a drone. Like when you are paddling in the canoe and there's a shot from above you. What kind of drone is it? I could use that for security jobs and checking roof conditions for people.
You need to put a tether on your paddle tied to boat so you don't loose it😊
Nice fire starting, Dan!!!!
Hi. Hurray, I have Polish subtitles again.
🤙🏻

Great video Dan. It’s fun to see you and Lando having a great adventure!
Fun video!
Great camera work and interesting content. can't wait till the next one.
That was very good Dan! Your a wonderful example for so many young men. So much they can learn from you!
Good video Dan. Keep learning from your trips what works and what dont. Before long you'll be a seasoned veteran when it comes to solo camping.
Thanks Dan - sorry viewing it so late - I like your vlogging technique - loved going camping - used to go when I was younger. Keep the videos coming - really enjoying them. Man from Kansas!

Lando needs a dog bed off the ground too 😐 Nice enjoyable video.
Later in the night he jumped up on the cot and slept with me but a dog bed is definitely something I will remember next time!

I love your channel! 👏

I want to be there, the skitters here this year are record=breaking! like the deer/blackflies your Mom and Dad found horrendous!
This was great! Very efficient. Since we will not see if you were caught in the rain I am guessing it would not have mattered. Great job and great video.
Enjoyed your video Dan !
Thanks 👍

Yep Lando’s not much of a water guy! 😂
great camp spot

It was! Thanks!
Great campsite! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent!
Nice camping spot, a great meal, you are the cook man, I am wondering how hot is getting there in Summer? and I am sure it should be humid too
That day was actually rather pleasant around 25 Celsius and not to humid. Usually during this time it’s humid and buggy but I got lucky for my camping trip!
Very well done. Getting better do a full video on your own.
I loved it❤👏
Thank you Dan and Lando for sharing your camping trip with us😊, take care and stay safe #kiwiNZfamz
Thank you! Will do!
Great episode Dan
Awesome weekend trip!!
A loaded canoe of a rolling lake can get interesting. Lando even questioned it haha.
I cheered as the fire started . As you said it is something primal and deep within.
Okay, fire starting with flint and steel 10 points. Come on bud, bud come on using spray can olive oil. Hey just had to rip on ya lol. Oh and your neighbors in the south lost it when you washed your cast iron in the lake. Got to leave the seasonings!
Aside from the ripping in ya I do greatly thank you for allowing us to join you on these solo adventures. The cove and the camp sight looked amazing!!!! Your set up was amazing. What was the temperature when you got there and then after rain? Big swing in temp?
Super glad the mosquitos left y'all along!!!
Lastly I have some questions. What pants are those? Really like the look and seem to be rugged with the extra pads and pockets. What size is your waist and do they run true in size? Want to order me some but want to make sure they fit.
Again thanks for the adventure Dan.
Thanks!!
😍😍👍👍👍👍
Lovin the channel Dan! Does the lake have a name?
Hi Dan, loving your content,. I do have a quick question. I see that your tent has an open floor, Do the mosquitoes bother you with having nothing on the ground?
As long as you stake down the sides tight enough they don’t really come into the tent but I also keep a ThermosCell with me just in case. 👌🏻
Just saw your y ear old videost to deo on your solo camping trip to Pirates Cove. That much physical exertion looked difficult ,especially the canoe. On another note you stated about being somewhat of an introvert. Besides nature how do you get your warm fuzzies?

Thanks! I’m not sure I haven’t really looked into it, Canada has its share of old stories and legends of beasts like the Amaroq.
Is this cabin on the same island as your mom and dads or a different one?
It’s on the same ten acre island but on the other side. 👌🏻
Another great video! I’m really enjoying your channel as a long time viewer of EFRT. I’m curious, what hiking boots are you wearing in this video?
They are Obōz hiking shoes, I am not sure what the exact model is since I bought them used. They are great hiking boots though!
Great video. Do you guys have pioson oak on the island?
Not on our island and it isn’t to common in our area but it is in Ontario.
Your island looks amazing. I take it your parents finally kicked you out of the house and now you live in the blue shed? :) @@danvanstralen
Is that a Seek Outside tent or Seek Out? I've heard of Seek Outside tents out of Grand Junction. They make great hunting tents.
Yes it’s the Seek outside tents out of Colorado they are great tents!
