Get a lot of questions and some think I'm lying about the temperature (no, I never have). If the title says -30, it should go without saying that that's the LOW for the trip...the temp fluctuates, of course. So I made a video for the top 11 FAQs I get about winter camping: *1) If it's so cold, why can't you see your breath?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *2) If it's so cold, why is there slush on the lake?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *3) Why aren't you melting snow for water?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *4) What is the temp inside the tent?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *5) Why winter camp at all?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *6) Why aren't you wearing snowshoes?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *7) How do you poop when it's that cold?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *8) Aren't you worried about carbon monoxide from the stove?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *9) Aren't you afraid of animals attacking you? Where's your gun?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html8 *10) How you you power your devices?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html *11) Why don't you use a floor?* th-cam.com/video/a_nrGUte8dM/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps clear some things up.
-30 up North in winter? Why would anyone think that? I've been in -40 running the Trans Can on many occasions. Slush on the lake, poop when cold, all question from people below the 45th.
I have never done hot tent winter camping and so wish I could. It's not in the cards forme as I have terminal cancer. Hence I'm living my dream of this through TH-cam rsv such as you
Sadly, "haters gonna hate" is a saying that I think applies here. There are always people who won't believe you're doing this, and I hope you know they're likely a highly vocal but tiny sliver of your larger audience. I, for one, appreciate the efforts you put into these videos. Thanks!
I was raised in an area like this video shows. There really is nothing to equal being inside a shelter, watching a fire, being full and reading a good book. The wind can lull you to sleep quicker than you ever thought possible.
When I was a kid and we had storms and black outs my mother would snuggle me and my siblings up under a blanket in candlelight and she would describe being in a place like this with a snowstorm going on and we would all feel so safe and snug. Memories I treasure 💕
50 years ago I was on the chemin de st jaques when I got stuck in a snowstorm in the Pyrenees.Couldn't move for 2 weeks,but I had several good books thea and enough food.I've thought about that time for the rest of my life.
We love these videos because we all know how much it sucks to be cold and it's really satisfying to see someone so comfortable and warm in such frigid situations...
I live in Wisconsin and complain about 25F temps and I’m inside my 69F house most of the time 😂. Thanks for reminding me I have it good. Oh also thanks for the hash brown recipe. I added eggs to mine and it was delicious 😋
Just ordered a stove from Boreal Outdoor Innovations after watching this vid. Customer service from them is amazing! Looking forward to using it this winter. Keep up the great work Jon.
Sitting here watching this in Jacksonville, Fla at 94 degrees !! Never thought I’d actually miss winter but watching this there’s something to be said for warming up after your bone chilling cold !!!!
That moment when . . . you've had a hard day, but everything is going ok, and you've got stuff taken care of, and now you can just sit back for a bit and relax and feel the warmth of life.
I did the same but the difference is I sleeped in 40 minutes that was so cold in Russia 🇷🇺 in Murmansk exactly and I uploaded the blog in my TH-cam channel here check it out
Karl, sometimes I forget TH-cam channel people watch TH-cam too 😀 great to see your name in the mega call centre scammer videos. I haven’t had chance to sit and watch them all yet
Keep in mind that I've only used it for a couple weeks, that being said, so far so good th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM . Using it at 8 ft. by 8ft. deer blind that is insulated. I have to keep the door cracked for it to get enough air to burn, but that is very likely the wood I've used. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Now if I can just take it easy in the beginning it won't be 90 degrees in my blind. All in all it seems like a keeper.
I can sense how satisfying it is to enjoy that meal, cooked on a stove fired by wood you cut, in a warm tent, out in Nature, where it's cold and dark outside.
A heads up. Having water between the pot and hot surface will result in flash steam that will erode the surface and result in increased rusting of the stainless. Always wipe the pot bottom to reduce this, its almost impossible to make the pot completely dry
Two of my worst memories of winter camping was getting in the sleeping bag, warming it up and bang I gotta pee. Secondly the best guy in the group is the one who gets up and starts the fire.
Looks like a person needs to be in good physical and mental condition. Survival skills, intelligence and common sense are all needed to camp in the winter. l
I never thought anyone but me actually enjoyed winter camping! seriously. I love it, but I get a LOT of flack from my youngun's and grandkids about heading out and pitching a tent..Its more different than you would ever believe possible. It is indeed a horse of a different color!
Bought the Woodlands X-Large stove from Boreal Outdoor Innovations for my 20' Avalon Bell tent. I was looking for a quality built stove that was made in Canada or the USA. I've been winter camping for over 25 years and I know what works and doesn't. This is the best stove that I have ever used, period. Quality is very impressive. That baffle is a game changer. Dealing with Luigi was easy and efficient, he's a very knowledgeable person. Emails were prompt. Yes it's an expensive stove but it will last you a life time. Oh btw, that door is like a vault! Super heavy duty and massive.
After I saw this video in late winter, I bought the X-Large model with the baffle and false bottom for my Atuk Artic tent. Great stove and the craftsmanship is superb. High-end customer service from the company. If you are looking for a high end stove that will last you a long time, this is your stove. It's the perfect stove for hunting base camp!
@@jean-pierregiroux1880 Just ordered one! Can't wait to use it. I did a lot of research on portable wood stoves and every review I read on Boreal Outdoor Innovations stoves were positive.
Thank you, all I need to say is thank you I've had a really long couple of months and for some reason this one video just gave me this odd sense of happiness and maybe a new direction in life. Thank you.
pizza sauce with bbq sauce is a pro level move. Also, I brought naan on my most recent winter camping trip after seeing you using it. Such a great option because it doesn't seem to freeze as easily as other buns/breads.
Sometimes here in Wyoming during the winters I love to camp up in the local mountain. Last winter it was -35F at one point. Very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. However it's also very rewarding once you are done. Mr. Heater Buddy is what I used. Keep a bottle of propane in your sleeping bag for when it gets too cold you the gas still works fine. Also please make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm. Will save your life. For extra safety if you live in bear country think of something to protect yourself with. Most predators would love a good meal in the middle of winter so don't become one.
Just think that those animal tracks are also there in the summer just much harder to see. I love the snow because of the tracks of animals it shows you. Great video. So glad I can live my fantasy through your videos. Keep on adventuring
My fantasy is an obese 54 year old Hispanic (preferably Mexican) housekeeper working a busy 10 hour shift and than suffocating me with her a** and p**** while wearing the moisture soaked parachute she calls p**t**s. Let your dreams be creams, that's what I say.
Canadian have to have good Outdoor stoves cookers. Heaters..the way that PM is taxing Canadians They might ALL BE LIVING in the woods.. till he taxes the cookers at exorbitant prices because the trees are Canadian property.. FJB from the USA..and FJT.. above ... BTW.. I had to pause the vid to see the temp yours says -20* but NO F/ Celsius.. ! And that draft baffler looked exceptional especially looking at heat/flame blowing straight up at 16:40 ans second view 3rd looked like a catalyst converter slowing it down.. MORE ON YOUR TXT Device!! USA has OnSpot..and another ..I actually think I will get that for This purpose..!! 3 weeks in AK bear hunting WAS amazing, NO AM/ FM Static..No Signal I know a SSW Portable is also NOW required. Or Sat ph but that's expensive What was your tent temperature? Like the stove- who is it. ? How much. WITHOUT a doubt.. a Shotgun/ survival rifle. 22 S/L/ LR is required Thanks. Very interesting.
So relaxing. I just love the video when people don't skip when they prepare their sleeping situation and film a bit of their sleep. Many creators skip that, and suddenly the next day. I personally think when we sleep in the tent as the most relaxing to watch, not when cooking.
I did the same but the difference is I sleeped in 40 minutes that was so cold in Russia 🇷🇺 in Murmansk exactly and I uploaded the blog in my TH-cam channel here check it out
Your videos inspired me to meet more active and likeminded people. I met my wife through a camping and paddling group thanks to that inspiration. You changed my life, bud!
This video was just what I needed to see today. I loved winter camping when I was a young man, the sights and sound of the cold forests, the work needed just to keep warm and fed. You really took me back with this one! Thanks so much for the great photography, the calm and common sense words you spoke. You’re absolutely right, it is all about the exploration! Life is a journey, not a destination. Many thanks, Jon. ❤️
Great video. After watching, my 9-year old son, who I have been having difficulty getting interested in wilderness camping, really wants to try hot tent camping. BTW, as a young lad 40+ years ago, it was the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit that got me interested in wilderness trekking and canoeing!
Thanks Kevin! Love to hear that 💚💚 What an awesome gateway...we listen to the audiobooks almost every night as we go to bed and, in a lot of ways, it's an epic camping trip. Even some canoeing!
I did the same but the difference is I sleeped in 40 minutes that was so cold in Russia 🇷🇺 in Murmansk exactly and I uploaded the blog in my TH-cam channel here check it out
Thanks again for the ride, Jon, and looking forward to the next video with Erin! I’ve also decided that the next time I talk to someone who owns a Cadillac, I’m going to tell her or him that they have the Boreal Outdoors Innovations Woodlands XL of cars…
Camping in the woods during the snowstorm is one of the toughest situations campers and hermits have to face if they are willing to survive in the wilderness.
Fantastic video, bloke. There's something deeply emotional n satisfying about n open fire n cooking in a tough environment. And your commentary lifts the video, too. I'm a diabetic so I must enjoy your content vicariously and jealously - in a good way of course! Cheers from Down Under🙃
I don't recall seeing any claws in the tracks so I'm leaning toward lynx but let me know what you think. If you're looking for a quality stove, get in touch with Luigi: borealoutdoorinnovations.ca/
Tracks are in a diagonal pattern, with direct register, as both wolves and lynx tracks often are. The paw print, however, is quite round and there is a leading toe. These are cat characteristics. The interdigital space is more of a "C" shape, compared to the “X” shape of a wolf. If you imagine the tracks in the snow from the other direction, then you can see the shape of an ice cream cone. Again, pointing toward lynx. The track width of about 10 cm and the straddle width of about 20 cm, as estimated by comparing to the width of the snowshoe, are reasonable for lynx tracks.
I'm newly subscribed Jon. I'm gonna binge watch your other videos to catch up! I see you have over 4 Million views! Forgive me, but I believe you're far more popular than Trudeau! :) Buena Suerte Amigo! ( Good Luck Friend! :Spanish)
Enjoy that. love that and I'm jealous. Here, in the southwest of Germany, snow is not measured in height, but in width (lol). This year we had, near Stuttgart , 10 cm (width). you are so blessed
Can never have enough stoves and that one is a beaut! Couldn't get a good look at the tracks but if they had claw holes then canine, if none then feline. :) I love doing the trailcam thing too! The great thing about doing it in winter, you can see where the critters are travelling and set up in that area. Look forward to seeing you and Erin back at the hot tent and the igloo build! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Thanks a lot J! So true, I'm pretty pumped for some more trail cam experiments....if there's any sign of lynx there again you know where I'll be setting it up :) Fingers crossed for the igloo this time!
I did the same but the difference is I sleeped in 40 minutes that was so cold in Russia 🇷🇺 in Murmansk exactly and I uploaded the blog in my TH-cam channel here check it out
Wolves and lynx tracks can be told apart easiest by claw indents. If there are claws, it's a wolf, if there aren't, it's a lynx. A little harder way is by overall shape, lynx are somewhat circular, wolves have an almost triangle shape toe to pad. Tracks looked to me like lynx tracks. Loved the video. Miss my old camping days, way too old for it now.
Tip: you can use Shoe Goo and dental floss to do incredibly strong repairs. The dental floss has crazy tensile strength, but it's slippery so it doesn't tie well. The Shoe Goo holds it in place, and gives it flexibility.
I'm so glad I found your video! I loved everything about this adventure, and the aerial views were STUNNING! So glad you saw some wildlife tracks, please keep us posted!
That stove is nice! So pretty! I've always like using the full round logs when. You go to sleep they last a little longer then split wood. Great ending!
I don’t know how to properly explain this in words but I legit have the urge to do this .. as if some primal instinct within me is telling me to do something like this and I absolutely hate the cold
I have heard of people who work for one of the Canadian provences ministries (Quebec, maybe?) who have the job of bringing dead lakes back to life. Lakes that have been killed by lumbering especially, where the sunken trees use up all the nutrients (I'm quite ignorant here) and so on. They do their own form of the Star Trek style terraforming, starting with dredging, filtering, oxygenating, replanting etc. Takes years, but what an amazing line of work, and satisfying.
I don’t believe anyone took you up on the track challenge but I’m saying it was wolf. I’m not 💯 sure but I thought I saw the nails which is the difference between cats and dogs. Cats can retract their claws. It’s comforting to watch this on a relatively cold day here in CA and you made me hungry. Nice stove! Cheers my Canadian neighbor!
That stove is a beast lol i gotta get a new stove asap. You can never have enough haha. Sucks about that shallow lake but still worth the exploration maybe hit it in summer one day for attempt 2. Cheers brother
Greetings from Romania! Congratulations for the work you put in these videos, the frame setup, setting up the camp, the shelter, the drone flights, everything is just pleasant to watch. And also the food looks amazing even though it is made in a tent. Really glad I found your channel. Your videos are great and really inspiring for us the youth! Wishing you all the good!
Thank youuuuu so much for taking the time to make this videos. It is highly entertaining and heartwarming for us living in the cities. Greetings from Bucharest 🙋🏻♀️
Love your videos thanks for sharing. Some wannabe outdoorsman just go out, put up a tent, make a meal in there backyard and call it camping. You actually take us on an adventure with you so thanks. Planning my next trip as we speak.
I'm watchin'....and I'm like hey that looks like fatwood!! You are welcome my outdoor spirit brother! Glad to send you more. Awesome vid btw. I do love the drone flyover of the landscape. especially in this frigid cold scenery! Would love to join you some day!
Hahah still holding on to it...one of those things I only use when it feels right. Though I probably should've split that one, it was pretty chunky. Thanks a bunch Scotty!
I can see your love of the outdoors. Your knowledge of the outdoors. Your strength to be able to hike in snow 😵💫 packing sleigh . The temperatures . Kudos . I enjoyed the video.
You have such good knowledge of and experience in the backcountry you really need to write a book. Add a twist to story and give it a catchy title. Like "Hunting for Pyramids North of Superior". We all know aliens were here.
Hahah thanks so much Martin! Writing is something I'd love to do in retirement. For one, when my body can't do this stuff, and two, when I look back at myself a couple of years I usually feel like I learned a lot since then...so I think I have a lot to learn yet :)
@@LostLakes Dayum, Jon. This video seems like it blew up in views recently. You got some good hits when this was uploaded but now it's your most viewed video.
Having another set of hands during winter camping is invaluable. Have some great trailcam shots and videos from over the years on the channel. In the Summer put it higher as bears play with them and enjoy chewing them. Great video. 👍
Watching your winter camping videos, it's tempting to try it out for myself. But I'm more like the bear come winter time. I told my dad (he sailed all a cross the world), "Dad, I think you made this kid in the wrong part of the world lol:)))) Now it's but a few months left to summer. My son and I are going to have a 1 week mountain camping trip in 1 of the biggest national parks here in norway, this june. Oh dear everything that's good, I can't wait for that trip:)) Until then, I snuggle up infront the PC, and watch your videos. Thanks for these great videos you make:)
Your videos are awesome! Just wondering if you ever thought of making a Smitty Sled for your sled? Basically adding a pair of skis. I ice fish a lot and it makes a difference pulling gear.
hello , i have a question about the maveric Mini Drone, wich settings do you Use? becouse it looks really giood and mine look kinda nad, thanks for a reply already
Looks like Luigi and BOI made a great stove. Having big slow burning wood must be a step up from waking every 90 minutes to refill the firebox. Google maps/earth views of lakes in Canada are pretty helpful for water depth and fishing holes as long as the views are summer footage! Keep up the great content and proud of you for all the subscribers from around the world.
" no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes." Scandinavian saying. Growing up in Detroit, some friends and decided it was much more convenient to camp in the winter, no mosquitoes, no need for tents, which always get wet and of course no crowds. Camped in Northern Michigan at -25, biggest consideration was keeping the beer from freezing. Proper sleeping bag is a must.
@@jimsaunders4136 wow super interesting. I enjoy to see camping videos because for me is brave. I would be scared 😆 but at the same time I would like to camp out with friends one day.
Really appreciate your hard work, dedication and struggle...its not really easy to capturing these beautiful moments in winter... You're such an inspiration for adventurous people! 👌Keep it up man❤️
@@LostLakes Would be interesting to know how long the new stove burns without replenishing, and compare outside temperature to inside temperature when it's burning at different levels of output- i.e. full burn, to banked down for the night for extended burn... of course, I MIGHT be a little analytical- but maybe others want to know how it performs...?
Bonjour Magnifique vidéo on a l'impression d'être avec vous.. vous avez de la chance d'avoir toute cette neige et de pouvoir profiter du camping bonne chance
I was driving back from alaska in the 90s.. the northern lights were enough to wake me out of a sound sleep they were so bright. granted the windows were nothing but frost it was even more intense outside.
Out in the snowy north, and far away from civilization, maybe with doggo, that' s the only way to exist. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲❄🌨🌫 Greetings from hot, crowded central Europe.
So glad I live in a country that doesn't snow. Makes it much easier and nicer to go camping in year round! Though sometimes I do wish I had portable air con…..

My fantasy is an obese 54 year old Hispanic (preferably Mexican) housekeeper working a busy 10 hour shift and than suffocating me with her a** and p**** while wearing the moisture soaked parachute she calls p**t**s. Let your dreams be creams, that's what I say.
I don’t know man, my grandpaw succeeded fishing every time I went with him…easily hundreds over the course of my youth.
I’m A firm believer in supporting the industries of my country, that said as an American if I’m buying a wood burning stove, I’m buying Canadian…
My kitchen appliances were made in Canada and I love the quality and dependability.
As an American this is sad but true.
Canadian have to have good Outdoor stoves cookers. Heaters..the way that PM is taxing Canadians They might ALL BE LIVING in the woods.. till he taxes the cookers at exorbitant prices because the trees are Canadian property.. FJB from the USA..and FJT.. above ... BTW.. I had to pause the vid to see the temp yours says -20* but NO F/ Celsius.. ! And that draft baffler looked exceptional especially looking at heat/flame blowing straight up at 16:40 ans second view 3rd looked like a catalyst converter slowing it down.. MORE ON YOUR TXT Device!! USA has OnSpot..and another ..I actually think I will get that for This purpose..!! 3 weeks in AK bear hunting WAS amazing, NO AM/ FM Static..No Signal I know a SSW Portable is also NOW required. Or Sat ph but that's expensive
What was your tent temperature? Like the stove- who is it. ? How much. WITHOUT a doubt.. a Shotgun/ survival rifle. 22 S/L/ LR is required
Thanks. Very interesting.
Brilliant : Sans snowshoes.
So relaxing. I just love the video when people don't skip when they prepare their sleeping situation and film a bit of their sleep. Many creators skip that, and suddenly the next day. I personally think when we sleep in the tent as the most relaxing to watch, not when cooking.
Depends on how hungry a guy is !!😉😉
I agree
ODD RESPONSE??? What is a creator? Who wants to watch men sleeping?
I did the same but the difference is I sleeped in 40 minutes that was so cold in Russia 🇷🇺 in Murmansk exactly and I uploaded the blog in my TH-cam channel here check it out
Shoo Goo !!! That reminds me of high school cross-country camp in the Berkshires 1977. 118 miles in 5 days and that stuff was immensely popular.
Your videos inspired me to meet more active and likeminded people. I met my wife through a camping and paddling group thanks to that inspiration. You changed my life, bud!
Aw so happy and touched to hear that Chance!! What a beautiful way to meet 💚 Hope you two have a wonderful life paddling together!
Been winter camping. Been summer camping. Give me winter camping any time. It really is the best.
you know you're into the video when you enjoy every second of the stove unboxing/review
This video was just what I needed to see today. I loved winter camping when I was a young man, the sights and sound of the cold forests, the work needed just to keep warm and fed. You really took me back with this one! Thanks so much for the great photography, the calm and common sense words you spoke. You’re absolutely right, it is all about the exploration! Life is a journey, not a destination. Many thanks, Jon. ❤️
Really appreciate that James!! 💚
Excellent comment, I totally agree Ms. James.
Jon, maybe you can still do it? You could go with someone else or not too far in the forest? Try it!
Great video. After watching, my 9-year old son, who I have been having difficulty getting interested in wilderness camping, really wants to try hot tent camping. BTW, as a young lad 40+ years ago, it was the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit that got me interested in wilderness trekking and canoeing!
Thanks Kevin! Love to hear that 💚💚 What an awesome gateway...we listen to the audiobooks almost every night as we go to bed and, in a lot of ways, it's an epic camping trip. Even some canoeing!

Thanks for taking us there and embracing winter. We are so lucky to live in Ontario.
Spoiled with wilderness :) Thanks for joining me Joe!
Best place to watch these videos is in a warm room, a warm feather quilt, milk and cookies.
the stove is a game changer and the winter outings become unforgettable
indeed.!
Podziwiam takich ludzi, ja lubię ciepełko i nie odważyłabym się na taką wyprawę
Wyroslam w bieszczadach to dla mnie nie takie obce lol
I enjoy all camping videos especially how they endure the cold, storms, wind and rain.
Thanks again for the ride, Jon, and looking forward to the next video with Erin! I’ve also decided that the next time I talk to someone who owns a Cadillac, I’m going to tell her or him that they have the Boreal Outdoors Innovations Woodlands XL of cars…
LOL wish I could see their confused reaction! Thanks Brian!
Better yet if they knew what I was talking about!
@@briankozak7014 now that would be funny!!
Isn’t it weird how you can smell what you visualizing? That smoke in the crisp fresh air is my favorite smell.
Camping in the woods during the snowstorm is one of the toughest situations campers and hermits have to face if they are willing to survive in the wilderness.
Fantastic video, bloke. There's something deeply emotional n satisfying about n open fire n cooking in a tough environment. And your commentary lifts the video, too. I'm a diabetic so I must enjoy your content vicariously and jealously - in a good way of course! Cheers from Down Under🙃
I don't recall seeing any claws in the tracks so I'm leaning toward lynx but let me know what you think.
If you're looking for a quality stove, get in touch with Luigi: borealoutdoorinnovations.ca/
Tracks are in a diagonal pattern, with direct register, as both wolves and lynx tracks often are. The paw print, however, is quite round and there is a leading toe. These are cat characteristics. The interdigital space is more of a "C" shape, compared to the “X” shape of a wolf. If you imagine the tracks in the snow from the other direction, then you can see the shape of an ice cream cone. Again, pointing toward lynx. The track width of about 10 cm and the straddle width of about 20 cm, as estimated by comparing to the width of the snowshoe, are reasonable for lynx tracks.
@@tedschintz3093 spoken like a true naturalist! Thanks for this Ted! Hope to get lucky with the trail cam next time
@@tedschintz3093 what ted said. too “round” for canids.
thanks again Jon - your library of videos are some of the ones I go back to again and again. Much thanks and tonnes of respect my friend.
I truly appreciate that Brian!!
I'm newly subscribed Jon. I'm gonna binge watch your other videos to catch up! I see you have over 4 Million views! Forgive me, but I believe you're far more popular than Trudeau! :) Buena Suerte Amigo! ( Good Luck Friend! :Spanish)
Enjoy that. love that and I'm jealous. Here, in the southwest of Germany, snow is not measured in height, but in width (lol). This year we had, near Stuttgart , 10 cm (width). you are so blessed
Its amazing how so many people don't like this ascept of living. To me its amazing and fulfilling. To many people rely on convenience now a days.
Can never have enough stoves and that one is a beaut! Couldn't get a good look at the tracks but if they had claw holes then canine, if none then feline. :) I love doing the trailcam thing too! The great thing about doing it in winter, you can see where the critters are travelling and set up in that area. Look forward to seeing you and Erin back at the hot tent and the igloo build! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Thanks a lot J! So true, I'm pretty pumped for some more trail cam experiments....if there's any sign of lynx there again you know where I'll be setting it up :) Fingers crossed for the igloo this time!
@@LostLakes any chance there are bobcats in that area?
@@neilbaker5649 I think there may be, though lynx are more prevalent
More stoves always!
I did the same but the difference is I sleeped in 40 minutes that was so cold in Russia 🇷🇺 in Murmansk exactly and I uploaded the blog in my TH-cam channel here check it out
I respect the winter camping. Always love your videos.
Thanks a lot Don!
Lol at Shovelcam and you getting excited about an exotic metal alloy spring
😆
If you ever get a tear in any kind of fabric. Use Tear-Mender fabric adhesive. I’m a union iron worker I break down fabrics like no other. It works
Wolves and lynx tracks can be told apart easiest by claw indents. If there are claws, it's a wolf, if there aren't, it's a lynx. A little harder way is by overall shape, lynx are somewhat circular, wolves have an almost triangle shape toe to pad. Tracks looked to me like lynx tracks. Loved the video. Miss my old camping days, way too old for it now.
That's the best camping meal I've ever seen in my life
Dudes got a new stove for every trip!
Tip: you can use Shoe Goo and dental floss to do incredibly strong repairs. The dental floss has crazy tensile strength, but it's slippery so it doesn't tie well. The Shoe Goo holds it in place, and gives it flexibility.
I'm so glad I found your video! I loved everything about this adventure, and the aerial views were STUNNING! So glad you saw some wildlife tracks, please keep us posted!
That stove is nice! So pretty! I've always like using the full round logs when. You go to sleep they last a little longer then split wood. Great ending!
It's dreamy :) Same here though I've never used a round that big...I certainly will again though. Thanks ATFH!
You definitely know what your doing in adverse conditions. Nicely Done
Much appreciated Darrell!
I don’t know how to properly explain this in words but I legit have the urge to do this .. as if some primal instinct within me is telling me to do something like this and I absolutely hate the cold
@Pat Luxor what
Whoa!!!! You are strong!!! Walking through 3+ feet of snow is no easy task! Plus you were hauling stuff! Way to go! You made it look easy. Crazy
I have heard of people who work for one of the Canadian provences ministries (Quebec, maybe?) who have the job of bringing dead lakes back to life. Lakes that have been killed by lumbering especially, where the sunken trees use up all the nutrients (I'm quite ignorant here) and so on. They do their own form of the Star Trek style terraforming, starting with dredging, filtering, oxygenating, replanting etc. Takes years, but what an amazing line of work, and satisfying.
Wow, I couldn't agree more. What an amazing purpose to have in life
I love these snow camping videos they're always an amazing vibe
I would love to come do one of these with you. Cold camping just sounds so fun.
I'm so sad these days and your videos cheer me up. Keep doing what you do!
Hang in there brother, brighter days are ahead. Thanks a bunch Mike :)
Hey guys, thought i would let you know im doing much better these days, thanks for the support!
I don’t believe anyone took you up on the track challenge but I’m saying it was wolf. I’m not 💯 sure but I thought I saw the nails which is the difference between cats and dogs. Cats can retract their claws. It’s comforting to watch this on a relatively cold day here in CA and you made me hungry. Nice stove! Cheers my Canadian neighbor!
Thanks Chris! 👋
Nice video.....you should be using the baffle in your stove so you'll loose less energy and burn less wood.......thanks
That stove is a beast lol i gotta get a new stove asap. You can never have enough haha. Sucks about that shallow lake but still worth the exploration maybe hit it in summer one day for attempt 2. Cheers brother
Hahah just need a titanium model and then I think the collection is complete 😅 Thanks again Ted :)
Greetings from Romania! Congratulations for the work you put in these videos, the frame setup, setting up the camp, the shelter, the drone flights, everything is just pleasant to watch. And also the food looks amazing even though it is made in a tent. Really glad I found your channel. Your videos are great and really inspiring for us the youth! Wishing you all the good!
Really appreciate that Korodi 💚
Thank youuuuu so much for taking the time to make this videos.
It is highly entertaining and heartwarming for us living in the cities.
Greetings from Bucharest 🙋🏻♀️
Really appreciate that Emma!! 👋👋
Love your videos thanks for sharing. Some wannabe outdoorsman just go out, put up a tent, make a meal in there backyard and call it camping. You actually take us on an adventure with you so thanks. Planning my next trip as we speak.
More than food, that stove is a lifesaver. I will care of it like i take care of my self.
Another excellent video, and love the added bonus of the photography, underwater imagery, nice!
Thanks so much Malcolm!
I'm watchin'....and I'm like hey that looks like fatwood!! You are welcome my outdoor spirit brother! Glad to send you more. Awesome vid btw. I do love the drone flyover of the landscape. especially in this frigid cold scenery! Would love to join you some day!
Hahah still holding on to it...one of those things I only use when it feels right. Though I probably should've split that one, it was pretty chunky. Thanks a bunch Scotty!
Es wäre schön zu wissen wie viel Grad draußen sind und dann im Zelt ⛺ nach z.b. 15,30,45 min...
I can see your love of the outdoors. Your knowledge of the outdoors. Your strength to be able to hike in snow 😵💫 packing sleigh . The temperatures . Kudos . I enjoyed the video.
Much appreciated!
You have such good knowledge of and experience in the backcountry you really need to write a book. Add a twist to story and give it a catchy title. Like "Hunting for Pyramids North of Superior". We all know aliens were here.
Hahah thanks so much Martin! Writing is something I'd love to do in retirement. For one, when my body can't do this stuff, and two, when I look back at myself a couple of years I usually feel like I learned a lot since then...so I think I have a lot to learn yet :)

Dayum, Jon. This video seems like it blew up in views recently. You got some good hits when this was uploaded but now it's your most viewed video.
Having another set of hands during winter camping is invaluable. Have some great trailcam shots and videos from over the years on the channel. In the Summer put it higher as bears play with them and enjoy chewing them. Great video. 👍
Somehow a second person makes it feel like a third of the work for me. Man you got some nice scores on the trail cam! Thank you again!
❤️💝💖💗💓💕💓👍😘
I recognize those snowshoes. I'm sure there much better with the bindings you added. Looking forward to the icebox build.
Hahah yessir, much better now with the GV bindings on them :)
@@LostLakes I'm sure. Spend many a winter in them with the old bindings. Those GV's must be a 100% upgrade
Watching your winter camping videos, it's tempting to try it out for myself. But I'm more like the bear come winter time.
I told my dad (he sailed all a cross the world), "Dad, I think you made this kid in the wrong part of the world lol:))))
Now it's but a few months left to summer. My son and I are going to have a 1 week mountain camping trip in 1 of the biggest national parks here in norway, this june. Oh dear everything that's good, I can't wait for that trip:))
Until then, I snuggle up infront the PC, and watch your videos. Thanks for these great videos you make:)
Hahaha thanks a lot Fiskeflette! That sounds like a spectacular trip ⏳

Your videos are awesome! Just wondering if you ever thought of making a Smitty Sled for your sled? Basically adding a pair of skis. I ice fish a lot and it makes a difference pulling gear.
Thanks so much Greg! I was thinking about it this season but tried some slick runners instead, but I think there's no comparison to a Smitty sled

hello , i have a question about the maveric Mini Drone, wich settings do you Use? becouse it looks really giood and mine look kinda nad, thanks for a reply already
My heat is running low and the walls and windows are drafty but this video makes me feel COZY WARM!!
Looks like Luigi and BOI made a great stove. Having big slow burning wood must be a step up from waking every 90 minutes to refill the firebox. Google maps/earth views of lakes in Canada are pretty helpful for water depth and fishing holes as long as the views are summer footage! Keep up the great content and proud of you for all the subscribers from around the world.
Thanks so much Kevin! Loving that baffle insert too...excited to keep experimenting and maximize my sleep out there
👍😘💕💓💗
Looks freezing 🥶 I just admire the dedication because is really brave to camp 🏕 in the winter ❄️

" no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes." Scandinavian saying.
Growing up in Detroit, some friends and decided it was much more convenient to camp in the winter, no mosquitoes, no need for tents, which always get wet and of course no crowds. Camped in Northern Michigan at -25, biggest consideration was keeping the beer from freezing.
Proper sleeping bag is a must.
@@jimsaunders4136 wow super interesting. I enjoy to see camping videos because for me is brave. I would be scared 😆 but at the same time I would like to camp out with friends one day.

I certainly would never do something like this myself. I do appreciate watching someone else do it.
Beautiful. Thank you for showing my eye things they would not see if it weren’t for you! I’d be scared to be in such temperatures alone.
Really appreciate your hard work, dedication and struggle...its not really easy to capturing these beautiful moments in winter... You're such an inspiration for adventurous people! 👌Keep it up man❤️
Really appreciate that Mariekhan!! 💚💚
@@LostLakes Would be interesting to know how long the new stove burns without replenishing, and compare outside temperature to inside temperature when it's burning at different levels of output- i.e. full burn, to banked down for the night for extended burn... of course, I MIGHT be a little analytical- but maybe others want to know how it performs...?
That new stove is outstanding & a Beauty! Great Job!

I was driving back from alaska in the 90s.. the northern lights were enough to wake me out of a sound sleep they were so bright. granted the windows were nothing but frost it was even more intense outside.
Another fun winter video! Nice work, looking forward to the next one
Thanks a lot Adam!
Love the new stove, so happy it works great. Bummer about the fishing but what a gorgeous spot. Looking forward to seeing Erin soon!
Thanks Corrie! Can't wait to get out there with her!
Sweet setup Jon, the no fish sucked.. loved the aerial view.. cat tracks for sure.. enjoyed very much
Thanks Jim! That silly little part of my brain hoped there might be some untouched brookies lol
