I drove from Hay River to Fort Smith in early summer in the '70s. Sixty mph on an excellent gravel road. Even at that speed I saw more wildlife in one day than I have ever seen in the course of a long life.
WOW!! They have a steel tower at the point now that was not there the only tower around was the one at the boardwalk sort of beside the parking lot and ponds. I guess I need to make a trip to the point when I lived in Leamington as a kid we use to always go to the point and I knew that place really well but since I moved I have not been there lately but I will have to make it down since they finally have some new things to check out.
I use to camp in Camp Henry when I was in Scouts as a kid but that camp henry was torn down and the new one built. we use to do winter camping and summer camping too. I have not been there in at least 20 years and surprised that you can camp in the park now that was something that was not allowed back in the day. They have really changed the place since I was last there.
I always start with water and add the dry ingredients. That way the outside of the ball is always the dry part, and the wetness is inside. Fold, sprinkle, fold, sprinkle.
Great video..............Ghee is nothing more than regular butter with the milk solids removed....Just melt some butter and drain off the butter. Why buy it when you can make it.
Hi there! Loved this video, thank you for sharing your experience. Wondering, how did the gas stove work (I'm so clueless) and was there a lock on the door? I'm going in a few weeks and am a bit nervous.
I'm not saying people should not be careful but I have been drying food for 25 + years and I have never rinsed my hamburger. I cook 93 % beef alone , in casseroles, spaghetti sauce, chili, seven layer, etc. Never a problem. I try to keep the meals in the freezer but in the last few years have not as we don't have room. I took 3 weeks of dryed meals that had not been stored in a freezer for 1.5 years and all were tasty and I suffered no discomfort. That stated it would be best to keep it in the freezer till your trip starts. I must state I don't go to the BW in the summer. Spring and fall when it is generally cooler. Thanks for this video, I enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! Yes, I’ve often wondered if rinsing the meat actually helps, but we prefer to err on the side of caution, especially with kids. Keeping the meals in the freezer is a good idea though, if possible. Happy camping!!
An alternative to Bannock bread and is easier for hiking/camping, is cornbread "Hoe Cake". 2 parts corn meal, 1 part instant "Just Add Water" pancake mix, salt, & enough water to form a thick batter. Skillet fry in some oil. The wheat gluten in instant pancake mix is the binder and is self rising. I premix dry ingredients in a baggie then use about 3 tablespoons of mix for a single serving. Add a little water for thick batter & skillet fry like a pancake.
Hello. Glad to hear that, too. I've viewed the videos on your channel. Despite the high quality of your videos, your video optimisation is awful. 1. No SEO rating No keywords in the title, description, or tags. There are various difficulties with your RU-vid channel, and there are no social media sharing options. I can assist you if you need it. I'm eagerly awaiting your response because your RU-vid channel badly needs SEO. Many thanks
I'm honestly not sure. It's important to get as much fat off as possible. We have vacuum sealed our dehydrated food when we know we're not going to eat it right away, but usually I make it about a month before the trip.
I brown it, rinse the fat off, dehydrate, cool, put in ziplock bag, then keep ours in the freezer until we go. Our trips are 8-14 days and I have never had a problem. No official knowledge about it.
And one night we were having spaghetti which it was Chino with meat already cooked into it. It was the gravel soak in the sauce all day long and then I cooked it for the evening OK so now I came up with a balance that I love. I use Italian seasoning in the bread, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan powder, Pecorino garlic powder, onion powder, minced onion, minced garlic those little round cheeses to come in the red wax. I keep a couple of those up, put them in the bread. I also put in, cubed, up pepperoni into the bread, and I made a double batch that night, and the kids just loved, and I do mean loved it. Now on the sweet side, I made one of the kids also light. It’s basically everything that was in my triple mix M&Ms, nuts, dried cherries, dried apricots, dates, and figs send me the banana mush from dried bananas, more M&Ms. Some caramel bits a little vanilla extract, some cinnamon or pumpkin seasoning. No they took longer to cook through and had to keep turning them so I didn’t burn the outside but the kids like those one afternoon was kind of a semi rainy day. It would rain on and off and on and off you know One of the days we are stuck under a tarp playing card games so I made the Bannick into little balls and cook them slowly with as much goop as I could put inside them. The Bannick was barely enough to hold it all together, but the kids love them, and because they were partially fried on the outside they were little bit greasy soon as I got them off the paper towel I rolled them in sugar, and they had a great outside finished them.
All the tricks that I do is, I put the water right in the bag with the mixed supplies for my bannock just a little bit of water when I’m ready to make it and I keep adding until it’s the right mixture but this way you can hand that bag off to your kids and they can eat it with their hands till it becomes pretty well ready to go in the pan. Secondly, I do also take an extra bag of flour, but I use that flour for a bunch of different things, so can I take usually a bag of bannock for each day even if I don’t use it I like to have enough to make up about church each day. I also have a little bags of stuff to add to them. White raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, chocolate chips, dried cherries, Dried blueberries, tried bananas, which I make into a mush gonna work in before adding water And a bunch of different types of spices from lemon peel, the orange peel vanilla extract cinnamon then for the savory side, sun-dried tomatoes, a packet of olives, various dried herbs, those 2 ounce packages of kraft cheese Parmesan cheese packets, Dried bacon, bits, dry, minced, garlic powder various herbs, dried onion, bits, everything seasoning, and I’ve even used some chicken bullion and it once which turned out really well and into my mix I’ve added powdered eggs just comes out a little bit more rich. I also increase the baking powder just by a little bit more than it calls for I put in some butter flavor seasoning. So another words you can make it from sweet to savory to very plain if you want but the container of Gee never thought about taking camping before that’s a really really good chip. Thank you for that part but I keep all those extra Ingredients to be added, depending on the meal or my mood but you don’t have to scrub the pan afterwards and Sunday off and take your kids camping my kids and my friends kids or if it’s an adults only camping trip he can hand it to somebody and they can without getting her hands dirty, or putting dirty hands on the food product. Sit there and eat until it’s all. worked in so I could eat a Ziploc bag with the actual zipper thing is you can tell if it’s closed it’s a good way to do it
Hi! We took the water taxi to the north of Lake Opeongo. It dropped us off at the portage to Proulx Lake. From there, we paddled Proulx Lake to the Crow River, Little Crow, and Big Crow Lakes, camping on all of those lakes. We purposely planned shorter days and had lots of time for hiking, swimming, and relaxing. Have fun on your trip!
@@CampingAcrossOntario yes, a lot of people start off with kids in Algonquin cause it's a little more tame and well used. Portages around Temagami tend to be less traveled and very rugged. But for me, that's one of the main reasons I love it so much. Less people, more wild and rugged. But since covid it has gotten more traffic which is good for portages but bad for garbage. Oh well, all we can do is try and educate people of proper etiquette and hope things improve.
@@darrendavidsonoutdoors Temagami portages are definitely on a whole different level lol! I'm concerned about the garbage and potential for problem bears... hopefully things improve.
I purchased the 185bh, back in 2019 and this was the biggest mistake I ever purchased first year roof peel off and had to have it replaced second year kitchen sink drain sprang a leak soaked the floor, third year bathtub drain sprung a major leak not and easy fix. it's not as good as everyone hope beware
