      There is something about that sound. It seems like after all the other noises of the day quieten, and it’s nice and still, that’s when the frogs start up. I find it really calming.

    Top tip from Haze Outdoors. You can put dry socks on and then put plastic breadbags over them before putting in your wet boots. Cheap camp shoes!

    A tip I picked up for wet socks and boots: get small dry rocks and boil them, let them steam then put them in your socks; put the socks in your boots and they will start to dry. Thank you for my computer background for this winter, that lake is beautiful.

    • @adventureot

    That is a great way to spend some time with your sister Cathy. It is always much nicer to share the outdoor adventures and experiences with someone enjoying it at the same time. I am sure that you two had a blast out there catching up with the family memories and future plans. And it was just fine that you weren't able to spend loads of time having to look straight into the camera and speak directly to us while worrying about the lighting and camera angles. Your format for filming this outing worked perfect I think. We had a great picture of what going on at the time. Thank you again for taking the time to share your adventure with us. See you on the next one.

    Good evening from UK,
    What a fantastic channel you have and I am sure it will be big just give it time as anything 🤔, I am no professional wild camper I am only enjoy out doors the way you do and absolutely love it. I don’t want to come across as an expert however the snow and cold would have been a good time to take advantage of making a fire with a fire wall deflector closer to your tent if the surroundings was possible enabling you to hand your boots near to take advantage on drying them out whilst project constant heat towards your tent🧐, footwear is soo important and must keep warm and dry at every possible moment as this is the cover for the human main engines out and about to walk us out of situations. As said I am absolutely no expert what so ever but just like to share some of my experiences on different subjects that may help enjoy the great adventures we have outdoors. You have a fantastic channel as said and I will keep on watching for sure as you give us great viewing and I find it very educational and I also learn different things and techniques from your channel, PS, then vacuumed packing is fantastic 👍!, but make sure what you take vacuumed can go back in your pack gear when not vacuumed , great post and look forward to your next as always, stay safe and live life to the full🤝🫡☺️

    • @adventureot
      @adventureot 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks, great ideas/advice. Appreciated. ha ha, yes I definitely thought through the possibility of fitting the items back in the pack should the bag burst or such like. In reality I can just compress them with brute force, so I should be alright. Has crossed my mind though. Thanks for watching.

    Just catching up with your Videos, this is Number 3 for me. I have been wondering why you do not use Hiking Sticks which have many uses including steading your Stream crossings and acting as Tent or Tarp Poles.... also brushing away Cobwebs ahead of you on Trails.......... My number 1 rule when stopping to camp is to raise my Shelter and Make my Bed above all things and that is after some 60 years of Backpacking...

      I love your Number 1 rule. It is a great one. As long as you have shelter things are going to be alright. I am wondering which videos you might have watched because I can only think of one camp where I accidentally left me walking pole at home. Otherwise I always take it, especially when climbing as it is essential for me to save wear and tear on my knees. One day (when I'm rich, ha ha) I will by two, but for now one does the trick.
