(4K) Day 1 - In this video, we explore Gatineau Park's winter camping experience in one of their prospector-style, 4 season tents during a snow storm! Come along on our Canadian winter camping trip as we cross-country ski our way into the park, around the Lac Phillipe area to enjoy some of Québec's beautiful wilderness. Be sure to check it out in 1440p or full 4K if you can! :)

Hi everyone! This video seems to be getting more thumbs-down than we usually get... over whether or not it's a four season "tent" or a cabin. I just want to remind everyone that Gatineau Park (who kindly let us stay there for free) describes these oTentTik structures across Canada as prospector-style four season tents on the park's official website... so out of respect to them, that's why we've called it a tent. Sure, the canvas structure does have a door and some windows, though please remember they get hundreds of visitors each year, so for reasons of durability and practicality, it needs to be built to last. And for those who think we're not "roughing" it enough, or capable out there... I've filmed professionally for 36 hours straight in the snow, up a windy mountain, in -15°C. No sleep. No shelter. That's "roughing" it... so I don't really need to prove anything to anyone. In any event, I hope you enjoyed the quality of this 4K & 3-axis gimbal stabilized video, along with the detail in the edit... and maybe check out our 7 day canoe camping trip in Algonquin Park if you're looking for something more intense: goo.gl/FThGXh ...no pun intended. Thanks for watching! :)
Chris, you and Julia have NOTHING to prove, or account for. TH-cam is a free world, and you two are only documenting your adventures here. Why anyone would take issue with you over whether or not it's a "tent" or a "cabin" is beyond me. I have also done a lot of outdoor camping in both tents and cabins, and I know that it simply does not matter what the semantics are. It amazes me how much people take this sort of thing personally, when they forget that they are only watching snapshots of your lives on a free channel, and they still feel as if they have a right to criticize. To the "thumb-downers", it is very simple. If you don't like what you see, then watch another channel. And of you haven't had similar experiences, then you have NO right to judge. You and Julia create beautiful content, period. Keep on keepin' on, Prouse's!
Never apologize for having a wonderful adventure! Have fun!
Thanks so much Eric! Really appreciate it :)

Hi ladies & greetings from "It hardly ever snows here dammit" North Alabama! LOL😜
Just happened to find your channel while perusing YT & thought you guys did an AMAZING job filming & sharing/conveying the fun you had. So happy you gals enjoyed yourselves! And....sooo jealous too dammit! Also, noticed the dislikes as well & to that all I can say is....they must have no soul.
😉😄
Hello, You do know CP, you can't fix stupid. Liked the your video and the tent! Good job. Happy Trails Riff
You had me hooked when you pulled out of your driveway :o)
Haha, glad to hear - thanks for watching! :)
x2
Thanks Dan! More coming soon! :)
that was a very smooth 180
Smooth doesn't come close! Damn, girl! Great vid, too. Thanks
I love to see people enjoying themselves in "my backyard". I've lived there all my life and get to see all those animals up close on a regular basis. As for camping, my friends and I go even further up into the forest, where nobody dares to go, weeks at the time. It is fantastic and this winter's milder weather with much snow made it even more enjoyable.
Your backyard is beautiful! We love to spend as much time in Quebec as we can! :)
Beautiful country out there. Doesn't get much better than that.
Thanks for watching! :)
The ultimate test for me when deciding if I like a TH-cam channel is would I want to drink a beer with the creators? Yes I would, you 2 are great.
Sheepleton same here! I would pause the video and get beer ready.
*clicks video *
*see you pull out of drive way *
*subscribes *
Haha, thanks Hector! :)
Hector Niebla same 😂😂😂
Me too
Me, too! 😁
I do that 😂
Just found this video in the recommended and it's great to see a winter camping trip that's well filmed/edited and great, great fun (the car scene 😄) just shows good winter camping fun can be had without the need to be hardcore. Fantastic, going to check out more now....
Thanks Martin! Glad you found the channel! Couldn't agree more - wish more people would see it as a fun activity :)
It’s like one of Harry potter’s magical tents! So spacious with all you need. And that gorgeous snowy forest 🌨❄️❄️❄️🌨
That pull out of the driveway had me like....
❤️
That handbrake turn WAS NEXT LEVEL
The one thing you can guarantee from Chris and Julia is a great adventure with a dash of humour tossed in. Another great video!
Haha, thanks Randy! Looking forward to spring camping in Algonquin! :)
Beautiful hot tent, I miss Gatineau Parc when I lived in Ottawa. Now I'm on Vancouver Island in the worst winter storm in 100 years! I guess I'll never learn to try and leave the snow behind when it just followed me from St. Jerome to Ottawa and now to Campbell River BC. Glad you enjoyed yourself and no speeding QPP will catch you. ☕🍸🍷
Thanks Stephen! Glad to hear - hope all's well out West :)
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! That handbreak reverse turn thoug!
Haha, thanks! Love winter driving! :D
Old Cameras if you really know how to drive you don't need to pull the handbrake for that!
No e-brake it's a front wheel drive car.
Hi Chris & Julia: Talk about memories. I haven't done a donut like that since my son was born & I cross-country skied Gatineau in the winter of centennial year 1967. You guys did it for free what a bonus. Great to see the two of you using life & not just passing through Thanks Brian 76
Thanks so much Brian! Glad to hear they're bringing back good memories! :)
Looking at winter camping videos and ran across this. Such a pleasant video.
Thank you! Glad to hear - I think you're going to enjoy part 2 coming tomorrow... some really tranquil moments :)
Nice camping adventure my health just won't let me do it anymore love watching outher people doing it It's like I'm there by watching videos like this thanks
What a great place. Cozy warm tent, perfect snowstorm, a hill to go sledding on - looks like the type of place that would make you feel like a kid again :)
What about that SWEET Rockford outa the driveway!!!!!...You guys are awesome!!!!!
Thanks Lance! Haha, I didn't realize it had a name and just googled the Rockford / J-turn and watched a fun compilation of clips from the Rockford Files :D
Chris, you make some the best edited, relaxing, outdoor adventure montages that really show how beautiful Canada actually is.
I'm from Minnesota, so we kind of have similar vistas.
Thanks Jeremy! Nice! Minnesota's not far from where I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario - love the northern areas around Lake Superior :)
Yea! you did it...went winter camping! I know exactly what you mean about going outside in the forest at night. I went winter camping for the first time in my 3 season tent on the 2nd week of January in Algonquin Provincial Park and I would always go for an evening walk. It's incredibly peaceful for sure. Can't wait to do it again and can't wait to see your next vlog! LOVE THEM ALL!
Thanks Kelly! That's so cool! We gotta try that sometime - where do you recommend winter camping in Algonquin?
The only drive in campground open in the winter is Mew Lake off hwy 60, but I have seen people park at Mew and from there snowshoe or ski on groomed trails towards campgrounds that are closed by rd. Algonquin offers lots of wildlife opportunities.
Cool, thanks for the info - really appreciate it! :)
Hi Chris, thanks for this video, I just recently started doing winter hiking videos and I am been wanting to try winter camping at Gatineau Park for some time now. My kids and I do plenty of camping at Lac Phillippe in the summer. Thanks for the video, it looked like you two and a great time.
People, this is how you make and edit videos. Great opening.😀
You two are a lot of fun to watch. You always look like you're having so much fun. Beautiful snowy woods you had there.
Thanks Ian! :)
Ian Young it looks slightly to cold. But very entertaining.
I love how they both knock the snow off their boots before they walk in the tent, very cool
I could feel the moment ! What a experience... something I long to have. Warm and sustainable cosy tent amidst the snowfall !
Love the video, especially when you backed out of the driveway!
Thank you! :)
Greetings from Seattle! Subscribed! You guys are awesome! Thanks!
This was awesome to watch!
What a cozy little adventure.
Thanks Josie! :)
Ok. I'm 3 years late but at least I finally made it! I have never seen this much snow. It is beautiful. Where I live 1/2" of snow drives people into a panic. Sounds like y'all had a wonderful trip. Good for you. Thank you for sharing as through videos is the only way I'll ever experience this much snow. The part that made me giggle: when you scrunched down for speed and slowly came to a stop. That would be so me since I've never been on skis in my life. Such a cute and fun video. ~Sherrie in South Carolina, USA
One of my all-time favorite videos that y'all have done! At present, I am sitting in a cozy house in West Texas in the middle of a snowstorm too!! (Although I realize this is occurring at completely different times...duh). But it is so touching to watch y'all straight up ENJOY Winter camping!! I grew up in Eastern Colorado and we went camping every year in the winter with our church youth group. It was AWESOME FUN!!!
Talking about your highs & lows...the high, for me, was zipping along course after course, until I was faced with the dreaded "Black Diamond" ski run. I took the S.O.B. and screamed all the way down!! 😆
Low was when my cousin tried to wash my hair in the ice-covered river!! AAHHHhhhh!!! That hurt like a thousand pins & needles and I don't think that I ever recovered....(well, at least that's the way I'm gonna retell it!! 😁)
Thanks for the glimpse if the incredibly beautiful & serene Canadian winter wonderland! Y'all take care & God bless!! 💛🧡💜❤️
Awesome driving style..!!! I am totaly amazed))👍🏻
Greetings from Rus✋🏻😏
Glad to see you getting recognition in the view count for the excellent work you put into your videos.
Thanks Paddleway! Yeah, it's been really heartwarming to see it take off! Part 2 is coming up soon :)
Chris and Julia -- you two are the absolute best. In the midst of the pandemic and the continuing insanity of U.S.-politics, your work reminds me that there is still humanity and beauty in the world. Now, if we could just talk you Canadians into accepting American refugees. Thanks ever so much for everything that you share with us.
Beautiful, snowy day in the woods! Thanks for sharing ladies.
You must be earth's two most adorable humans. I thoroughly enjoyed your adventure!
Cathy in Seattle
Awe! Thanks so much Cathy! Part 2 and more adventures to come soon! :)
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Where I'm from, you have to travel north to get to the Deep South. It snows for 20 Minutes every 2-3 decades.
But I spent time winter camping while living in Wyoming in the 1980's and I've never been the same. You video really brought back memories.
Glad to hear! It certainly is quite the experience :)
Hey Chris and Julia, watched this video about a year ago, loved it. Then watched the video when you ran and got engaged, awesome! I live in Florida and the hurricane Michael kicked our ass and my fiancee passed away a month later so I watched your video again and realized how much you see Julia as your baby, responsibility and your love. Best wishes to you and Julia on all your adventures and life.
, dude, that was the best Rockford Files backwards turn a bought I've ever seen. awesome, totally awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video good time you both had. Thank you for sharing.
Such a beautiful place.
I agree that pull out from the driveway hooked me. Its video gold!!! You almost need an obligatory "rad" 270 at the beginning of every video. You get me laughing each time I watch that no matter how many times. I mean you just keep going straight out that spin. bra ha ha ha so so so cool. I had to watch all your videos after seeing that. The arrival entering the driveway in another video is almost as good. brilliant just briliant
Thanks again Michael! I've got an idea for the beginning of our upcoming trip that I hope will impress! :)
I can't wait Chris. You are awesome. I am going to watch this again right now. I need a laugh today.
OMG, reminds me of my winter camping, back in the 60's and 70's. Snow and falling snow makes for the most evocative photography. Like how you started with the ominous weather warning. Basically call of the wild for Canadians :) Well done.
A thumbs up just for that opening reverse out of drive way.
It reminds me of me when I am sure no one is looking. :-)
Wicked video ladies. I love how comfortable, calm and natural you both are in front of the camera. For some reason I am always hungry after watching your camping videos. ;-) I think you need to make a series just on the amazing meals you guys come up with. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Russell! Haha, so true - everything tastes better while camping and I get hungry when editing those parts of the video too :)
And you aren’t vegans! Love the meatball meal.
True that Julia, we must support those outdoor ed programs, they change lives!
Outdoor ed rocks! :D

When you are trying to roll a backwood but you're glued to their videos☺️
Awesome!! I want some snooooooowwwww!!!! Love the winter camping!!!
Thanks Sean! I know what you mean - wish it would snow even more! :D
Blown away by the reverse 180! subbed!
Thank you! Glad to hear :)
Girl power!! Nice winter adventure!
You have fun outdoors like us😉
Thank you for taking us along!! We enjoy it❄
Greatings from Norway - Tove and Kaja
That is what we call enjoying outddors!!! much love from us, Pura Vida!!
Thank you! Pura Vida! :)
Much love Chris! ;0)
Welcome!! ;0) have a week full of pure life!!!
Editing and music and just general feel for the video is on point 👌🏼
Subbed ! From Australia 🇦🇺
SO GLAD you've got this video to go viral Chris! Your content is always amazing and you deserve it! Like I said long ago, 10's of thousands of subscribers, incoming... ;)
Awesome video!!! Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. We've had about 1cm of snow for about 3 hours this winter 😤 which even for this area which doesn't get that much snow is terrible. Absolutely rolling at several times, but mostly full of envy. For me, very little beats the night when it's snowing heavy and there's that certain type of quiet only snow creates. The fact it was very deep snow, and a 4 season tent, AND a wood stove!!! Aaaaargh, I've turned green! 😉
What a great way of taking things in and understanding them by discussing the highs and lows. I've learnt something new there as myself and my partner rarely get time to think with two girls ( 2 and 6) before bed, but I think that's something to be tried, and for introducing that to me I have to thank you ladies. Am going to see if you've done a part 2. Hope you had a wonderful time.
Kindest regards

Thanks Dean! So glad to hear - that means a lot to us! Part 2 will be coming in a day or two :)
I love this video. I live in Thailand now, and the cold looks great. I can't imagine why anyone would not like this video. Everything looks beautiful.
I know this is two years old, but I was planning a move to Thailand when the virus hit. Waiting on the vaccine to get back there. Was planning on a place in Krabi Town, but now may have to stay w folks in BKK a while. Hope all is week, now I’m jealous of the video and the comments.
Beautiful scenery! Excellent work with the filming and editing as well. Looked like a great time. -Krik
Thanks Krik! Means a lot to us :)
You girls are such an example of CLASS. What wholesome and delightful young women you are, thank you.
Aww! Thanks so much! That means a lot to us :)
very suhweet intro, music and all, and yes, that driveway pullout was one for the ages.
cross country skiing does not look fun, though; but maybe it's a "you have to be there" kind of thing.
You two seem like such likable people. Keep enjoying life!
Hi from Ireland......What an absolutely amazing place. The solitude must be just unreal. Loved the video and you got yourself another subscriber
Thanks Sean! :)
The Filming is so good girls!
Also im jelous of the snow, we havent had a proper winter here in the South of sweden for a couple of years... 😟
You two are awesome! Great adventure, great optimism; very inspiring. Sending lots of love and light your way from my wife and I in the Maritimes. ❤️🙏🍻🌲
When my kids were little, we always did High/Low at dinner. My son was always a little difficult to to come up with "highs", my daughter always said "no lows, but two highs"...she would have a dozen if we let her. lol Now that they are in their early/mid twenties, I do not get those table conversations. Glad to see others enjoy this.
Top notch as always.
Thanks Brayden! :)
That is the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen in my life. Thank you both for sharing.
Sitting here in Southern California......I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!! Wishing my wife and I were there! .
A little trick they thought us in the Army for going down hill with a pack was to put your poles between your legs and sort of sit on them and let them drag behind you. I found this technique quite useful.
Great tip - thanks! :)
Until you bend your poles!
Never heard of you, never visited your channel before. Saw first 30 sec of this video, liked and subscribed! Will continue watch your video now...
So glad to hear! Thanks for watching Magnus! More outdoor adventures on the way :)
Awesome to hear! Saw your entire video btw. Nice trip and great video!
it took me 15 sec in the intro I was thinking it's advertisement hah wow gg
That's some crazy driving skills 😂
That would be amazing to stay at the 4 season tent it looked so peaceful!
I absolutely love your videos for so many reasons... just when I think I've seen the best one yet... you post another. Thank you again! Rob
ps on a scale of 1-10... that was 258....
Awe! Thanks so much Rob! Haha, 258 :D
You ladies are awesome! Glad to see women love winter camping too!😀
Thanks Hanfy! We had a blast! :)
That was the most awesome way to pull out of a driveway. I really enjoy seeing people who are truly happy doing the thing they love the most. I'm very happy I found this video keep making more
You guys are so chill and positive. Kinda refreshing.
Again with the parking brake! LOL LOVE IT! I don't know why you only have 267 views on this so far though. :-/ Keep building. You deserve it.
& you kept that in frame too!
Thanks so much Jared! Haha, winter driving is one of my favourite things! :D
Seriously great intro. Love it.
Thanks Nick! Glad to hear :)
Finally a camping video that doesn't have plucky guitar music like every other video out there. First time watching and thought it was good. I miss Canada. Home for me will always be there. Pity I'm not. Thumbs up.
No thumbs down here! You two would be happy doing anything as long as it is with each other.
Oh, these are new... or at least relatively new.
The 4 season tent I used when last in Gatineau Park is winter was probably more a 3 season.
Cold wet boots in my sleeping bag to keep from freezing.
Hardly space to move within the many layers.
An adventure nonetheless.
I second Jeremy's point, great filming and editing. You absolutely manage to capture the idyllic silence of snowfall.
Thank you! Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure - character building for sure! :)
Wow!! yes we had a friend that built igloos to camp in!!!! Pura Vida Chao!!!
Darwin Burns I
Right from the beginning, rock & car flying out of driveway! !!!.....,I love it already! !!!
Almost 30% of this video consisted of watching you walk in the snow.......lots of fun, entertainment an learning new things
9:45 - 11:58 thank you for making fun of youtubers that try and make the simplest things look like epic journeys. So many people think that because someone is good at editing a video, means they are missing out on something in life and feel down about their own. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
So many thumbs down for this video!? Sorry, there’s nothing wrong with this video. It’s great. I enjoyed it. Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks so much Erdinger! :)
This was a delight to watch. Thank You for taking us along!
Glad to hear - thanks for watching! :)
Quite the adventure! Great filming! Love how you start off ;-)
Just started documenting my own trips. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Stumbled across your video today ...it was fascinating, enchanting, and just top-notch in every way!! I subscribed as soon as it ended. You two did an excellent job of making us feel we were part of this adventure!in closing I must say I agree with other commenters...your video should have more views...I predict more views/subscribers on your horizon!
Thank you so much for your kind words - they mean a lot to us! More outdoor adventures and trips on the way! :)
I clicked on it, I saw it, I liked it and I subbed. Ye both rock 😊
Awe! Thanks so much Rick - welcome to the channel! :)
Another excellent video! I had to laugh at the beginning with the ominous weather forecast transitioning to the (damn the torpedoes...) 270 degree slide out of the driveway. What fun!
Thanks Greg! Glad to hear - was hoping it would get a good laugh :)
OMG you two are hilarious...so fun to watch. I can't believe I actually am looking forward to winter now. Don't tell my other Chicagoans I said that.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for making it feel a couple degrees cooler here in +35°C Australia.
*Those dislikes must be from pure jealousy.
Aww! Thanks Bala! :)
lol
Damn momma you g whippin that little car ....getem girl
Haha, thanks Glen! :)
That looks like so much fun, and great memories.
Love it, looks so amazing!!! Y'all had a great time and that's what it's all about!! Go go go more aften!! Wish I was there with y'all!!!
Awesome! Like always 👍🏼🏕
Love the highs and lows, great way to reflect on your day.
Thanks Luka! :)
What a great place. Love the snow.
Thanks for watching Danny! :)
I used to work a few blocks away from Gatineau Park. Great groomed ski trails. Never a problem skiing at night (reflected light off the snow or better yet moonlight).
As a fellow Honda Fit driver, that hands down has to be there coolest, most Fit maneuver I have ever seen. Can’t wait for some Lake Effect snow now.
winter camping for funsies!
Haha, just for funsies, cuz that's how we roll :D
Brilliant. Please adopt me and take me next time.
Haha, thanks Seán! :)
Great intro! Best laugh I've had today!
Very fun! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks Tim! :)
I cried watching this. Love each other and love life.
