This channel is about exploring the Canadian outdoors. Join me in the back country while I go on camping and ATV trips in all four seasons. I'll sleep in a tent, a hammock , under a tarp, or in the shelter I build. I'm not trying to be an expert but just showing you the realities of being out in the woods in the different environments we have here in Canada. At the end of the day, I just enjoy spending time outdoors doing whatever I can.
Where I live it usually alternates between rain and snow and hail, so, if it rains what are you going to do? It would be a hell of a situation if you're sleeping in the middle of the night and it starts raining.
It made me smile, when you pull the lid off of the little coffee pot and the snow hadn't even started to melt yet! . That was a Really Great looking peace of meat!!
In the winter the wood is frozen so it's hard to tell if it's wet. But you can smell the wet in the wood even when frozen. Then you know if it's going to be good to burn or not.
My usual reality check - he’s got all this modern gear except for the fire stick. He should carry two bic lighters. Save cold hands and a lot of discomfort getting kindling to light immediately. I’ve been camping like that and believe me, me butane is best.
This is probably my favorite shelter I’ve seen so far. I would build the side walls up the rest of the way to prevent rain and snow blowing in, and I think you could build the far wall up a few logs more, I know you need some opening there as that’s the “chimney” essentially, but I think you could do 3 or 4 logs higher. And some kind of door so animals don’t get in
yes I could build it up and be ok with the smoke getting out. My idea to keep it this low was so from seating on the bed I can see straight out into the woods. you don't really get that perspective from the video. Cheers and thanks for the great tips.
I don’t understand most of you campers. You pack a bunch of stuff, hike a ways out, takes time to set up camp for one night. I understand you may have work or whatever next day but do it when you can spend 2-3 days. Relax & enjoy all your hard work!!!
Hey, you are right. But I have a full time job, a family. I go out on a Saturday morning and come back sunday. It all the time I have but it's better than not going at all. But yes I would love to spend more time if I had it.
Hi Joshua, what's up? Just watched your video and I must say it's really informative and helpful. I was thinking if I could help you make thumbnails for improved CTR and better views? Let me know, I can offer one for free.
The tarp is a good idea, it extended the dry area so you can sit or walk around without inside the cabin all the time, consider extend the tarp with a roof in future?
