A Year Outdoors In Michigan's Upper Peninsula 

Thanks for the comment Nicholas, KPO.

Me too. I’d love to go back to Germfask area.

It is a magical place, if I was younger I'd be in my log cabin off the grid, I find vulgar drumpf christians totally intolerable theses days.

Very cool

It's a great place to start a family, welcome! KPO

The UP is soul-cleansing, for sure.

Bird Man I moved here thirty five years ago, make sure you have a job, it’s a hard life up here, winters are bad

Lynn Sager thanks 😊 I’m bringing jobs there . I’m in the copper mining industry , I know many ways to boost up the economy in UP MI only . I’m looking forward everyday . I’ll move there right after winter

forest hiker yes sir and my father before me as well . www.coppermountaincorp.com I don’t want to mine for copper in UP MI. I just want to import copper cathodes and fabricate copper products . It would boost the economy out there and bring jobs . 🇺🇸

Very cool, KPO.

Watch out for them fence lines.

@@anton1949 Ok.

Just do it, right? KPO

Yes it will!

You are welcome, KPO.

Debi, thanks for that comment. Much of this video took place not too far from your old neck of the woods. Thanks for watching, KPO.

It is nice up (UP) here! KPO.

I agree and still have my gear from canoe trip in the Sylvania Wilderness area as well as the Boundary waters. My friends are all approaching retirement and only want to travel by motorhome. I do still take a solo trip once in a while.

Scott, yes winter could be a month shorter for me. Thanks for the comment, KPO.

Moved out of Kalkaska and I am glad! Hated it there!

Sounds good KPO.

Stay warm, KPO.

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors thank you.. i will!

Keep me post for when you make the move.

I know, I know. The siding is on the list for this summer. It's tough, you know how short the summers up here can be. I'm gonna miss those big green "G"s when they're gone though. KPO

At times they can be, but it depends where you're at. Usually if you're around one of the big lakes you don't have bug issues. There is usually at least a light breeze by the Great Lakes that keeps the bugs down, KPO.

Thank you Andy, KPO.

Thanks

Welcome!

Awesome! The UP misses you!

Yes, miner country! Thanks for watching, KPO.

What bout Manistique Schoolcraft County coming in snowy

Shhhhh guys....we should be tellin people the UP sucks.

I'm OK at skinning but the processing is pretty much my dad. But thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, KPO.

That looked like Witch lake North of Sagola...lots of Big Foot stories around there.

Scott Crouch yeah this is the mildest winter I’ve ever seen well at least so far it is.

Balsam Acres Homestead we’re referring to Michigan how about you.??

Balsam Acres Homestead ahh yes near the ocqueoc River great salmon fisherie and swan bay

Balsam Acres Homestead a life long friend has a cottage up there beautiful area no doubt

Balsam Acres Homestead salmon fishing isn’t like it was back when I first started up there (95) but it’s still pretty good

Awesome!

We have been getting snow, KPO.

Yes, most of the vids are from the northern U.P.

Thank you, KPO.

very cool

Thanks Jay, KPO.

Craig, thanks for the sub.

Hope it works out for you and thanks for watching, KPO.

It's a nice area Brook, that's for sure. I hope you find that piece of land, KPO.

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors thanks for the encouragement!

Hope my videos help!

thanks so much

Awesome!

It is, KPO.

Thanks for watching Ashley, KPO.

Nice, KPO.

Hey, thanks!

From Houghton, then you know your snow don't you Leah. Thanks for watching, KPO.

Thanks for the visit, KPO.

I know you will find the friendliest people in the U.P., KPO.

Gotta luv it, KPO.

Great to have you along!

thanks

No sir! KPO.

I am truly blessed to do the things I do, KPO.

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors love your videos keep them coming

Thank you, KPO.

Jake, welcome to the channel my fellow Yooper, KPO.

They were terrible this spring. Maybe the worst I've seen.

Thanks for watching.

That is a recurring theme - "How nice the people are in the U.P." You will always have the memories. Thanks for watching, KPO.

I grew up in Bessemer!

Thanks, KPO.

Hope it works out!

Good stuff! I hope it works out for you.

Yes sir, KPO.

Thank you.

Central UP! KPO.

Thank you. I was born in Rhinelander. KPO

We have a lot of Finnish people that live here. We have a Finnish store in the town I work. Lots of saunas. You would fit right in.

Well, I've been at it for over 4 years now and I feel like I could write a book on the subject ( I'm not saying it would be a good book!). I use Sony Movie Maker editing software. New channels can be slow at first, but if your content is good, viewers will find it eventually. Put the time in to film it right, edit it right and put the time and thought into your thumbnail. I break these rules myself, but these things are important. I've always tried to make videos I would want to watch and stay away from giving the viewers excuses of why you haven't uploaded, or how your camera was off or your lighting was bad. When your new, nobody cares. Good content, good thumbnail and keep at it, KPO.

Yes we do have a shorter growing season up here.

No it's not the Fox. I think the brookies would be bigger if we were fishing the Fox, KPO.

PA seems very similar. I think Michigan and Pennsylvania go back and forth between which state sells the most hunting licenses. Cool stuff.

It's not for everyone, KPO.

It's nice up here if you don't mind the longer winters.

It does get a little old at the end of March. Thanks for watching, KPO.

Glad to have you watching!

It really is!

It's very odd sized. Newest addition is 16 X 20 (living room area), older part is 9 X 20 (kitchen and bunks). As far as wood use, we only spend 15 to 20 days per year when we need a wood stove. We also burn wood in the sauna, which is every time we spend the night, even in warm weather. We don't really keep track of wood use. When the wood shed looks a little low we cut more, but I would say less than 2 face cords per year. Thanks for watching, KPO.

Pine, copper belly, garter and grass seem to be the most popular.

Marquette/Alger county areas. When I was a kid my dad and I would rent these cabins from the old Timbers bar (burnt down now I heard) and fish Huron bay in the fall for lakers and salmon. I drank a lot of Cokes and ate a lot of Slim Jims in that bar. I did catch a 17 lb chinook one year. KPO

I'm working on that.

Thanks mark pro. Yes camp and home in the UP, KPO.

Most of us yoopers have seperate deer camps

What area Lauren?
