Ive always wondered what it would be like if you had to actually spend the night on the mountain, so we made it happen!
In a quick overview without going in to detail, Id say the the most important things you need to spend the night on the mountains are
1- a good mindset, stay positive
2- good shelter and fire
3- warm layers
4- the best saw you can buy because cutting wood is a lot of work
5- a headlamp

Your dedication to the sport has no rival. The entertainment, the knowledge, the skills of communicating it to the viewer, belies description, there are not enough superlatives in the english language to express my gratitude. Thank you!

@MuskokaFreerider 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words!

Great content. One method we’ve used to keep the fire from sinking is a couple layers of large green logs tight together to build the fire on. I’m not sure how well this would work for a long 12 hour burn though.

@brydonkendall5034 2 года назад

Also fill the gaps with snow for longer lasting platform,.

@russ384 2 года назад

Pine boughs stacked up also works to build it on top of. For a little while anyway.

@imlundby 2 года назад

Great video! Couple of tips. Build your fire in a "hash tag" pattern with big logs in the bottom and smaller as you progress up. Then light it at the top. It will burn slower and not sink down as easy. It will keep you warm thru a 4-5 hour night night. (All the sleep you need). And when you believe you have adequate firewood. Multiply it by 4. Also, if you can, find a big boulder to camp next to. Great for reflecting heat. Hope it helps whoever needs it..

@Montana_Motorized 2 года назад

I would recommend the Silky Big Boy saw. I've cut a lot of logs with it and it works really well. If I was doing that, I would sleep in shifts so someone stays up and keeps the fire stoked constantly.

@troyroquette261 2 года назад

Silly big boy saws are awesome totally recommend one make short work of most logs

@syxsyx Год назад

Silky saw and PULL!

@bobshams7231 2 года назад

You're the greatest ever, Matt!! The knowledge you share can easily save lives in the future. I've always said, "Assumption is the mother of all F-up's." It's great to study and have a good understanding of things. But, nothing can teach us as good as experiencing it first hand. Great video and kudos to the others for hanging in there with you!!!

@denisbrisebois7658 2 года назад

Well said sir … 👍☝️👊👌.

@ClaytonSchickOutdoors 2 года назад

Broke my leg one year in Valemount BC, one friend went for help while another stayed with me and made a fire. The fire was literally the biggest key to us surviving till Search and Rescue came. I will never forget that experience, and quite thankfully to only come out of it with a plate and 25 screws. Always be prepared, because it happens when you least expect it to.

@carllanciaux1295 2 года назад

Didnt know you were into backcountry sledding..thought you were only the master of slaying fish!!

@jonathanbeaumont2183 2 года назад

Great video. I remember when I did my avalanche training back 2003 /2004 also did a little winter survival training camped on the mountain side. Made shelter and pits for fire, were lucky we had sleeping bags tho. Great video again Matt, most people wouldn't just spend the night just to show us what it is like just in case it happens, hands down your awesome same with your crew of shredders. Good to see the doo out too. Stay safe and enjoy tomorrow.

@Arkus971 2 года назад

A shelter that works good in the snow and might be less work than using wood could be digging a snow cave. It provides alot of shelter and is good enough for a night :)

@mikediamond1883 2 года назад

And all you require is a candle for heat

@bobellison1460 2 года назад

Seriously they could have built a snow cave , sometimes know as a Quinzhee, with 2-3 candles you would have slept like babies all night with very little work.

@HugoLilja620 Год назад

We did this when we were kids in school. Stayed over night on the mountain in a shoveled "igloo". No candles or fire (obv) and slept like babies. Snow started melting inside so had to even out the roof so it wouldn't drip. Harsh night outside. Great experience you should really try it.

@jaye9629 2 года назад

To keep your fire up on top you need to make a few layers of logs going like 4 or 5 layers then light your fire on top of logs it helps keep fire up and going love your videos Matt keep up the good work and having fun be safe

@owensheedy7696 2 года назад

Always learn so much from your vids appreciate all the work you put into them!

@mrolsen6987 2 года назад

Pro tip: Dig a cave in the snow with a small entry, fill the floor with fir twigs. Crawl in and close the most of the door, make sure you have some ventilation hole so you don't die from lack of oxygen... If you have normal winter clothing on you don't need eny fire to get warm, it's warm enough under the snow and there's no wind chill. I can guarantee you to 100% that if you retry this adventure and try my way, the next day you Will say "wow! This is the way!" Cheers from Northern Sweden!

@grahamburden4848 2 года назад

Second that. Both times I've slept out using this method, I woke up rested to slushy walls inside the shelter. -30c outside, no problem

@gregoryh4601 2 года назад

Matt. This is why FreeRider is the Best! You always learn something when your Are Shedding. Thanks.

@The_Samsquantch 2 года назад

Silky makes some of the best folding hand saws. If it's going to be something you use on the regular, which seems to be the case with you guys and lunch time fires, I would say it's a justified expense. They stay sharp for a LONG time. I have one in my jeep for camping and it's almost effortless to cut big branches or smaller pines with.

@rowboatROB51 2 года назад

I second Silky, I have the Silky Big Boy and have converted everyone that has tried it to buy one of their own. It takes drastically less effort to cut.

@mcats8 2 года назад

Great content like this. Have had to stay the night not by choice with bro...unprepared. Horrible night! It did however prepare me for a great survival kit should it happen again. Videos like this help tons for those who haven't had to...thanks Matt.

@letstravel4613 2 года назад

You always learn by doing … than you can discuss what worked well, what didn’t work at all and what can be done and improve to make things easier next time. The entertainment, the knowledge, the skills of communicating it to the viewer, belies description, there are not enough superlatives in the english language to express my gratitude. Thank you!

@unclegeek 2 года назад

Related to saws. A good cable type saw that uses a chainsaw type blade is always good. That type is efficient as it cuts most of the surround of the tree at the same time. Make sure you add a wood or plastic wedge to your kit. This will help to keep the saw from binding while you cut.

@PJ-si2po 2 года назад

You can use green logs at the base of the fire to prevent the fire pit from sinking and even mix a bit of green with dry wood to burn, it makes the fire last lot longer so you have a chance to sleep and get rest

@wadecole3605 Год назад

My Group got lost one time and we couldn't climb our way out before dark. We had to do it not by choice thankful for my dad teaching me to always be prepared. We found the same when you think you dig far enough down dig farther. I ended up using my zoleo and our buddies from SAR came and got us as it started to rain. now id like to do on purpose as practice. Important skills to have.

@galensteria4790 2 года назад

Great adventure.. awesome content.. I've camped out at -30 f. In northern NY.. But was well prepared... U guys did it with only the things u normally carry.. I love your content... keep it coming!!!

@Mikhail65. 2 года назад

this is a great video, it's so extreme to stay in the winter at night in the forest 😱. it’s good when you are mentally and mentally ready, but when it comes unexpectedly! there is a completely different feeling! And thanks to you, I can take note of something for myself and understand how and what to do !! thank you 🙏

@Fatonzzz 2 года назад

Wow! Next level content. Your video with the lessons learned, combined with the discussion it inspires, may save a life. Thank you for doing this 👌

@denisbrisebois7658 2 года назад

Great learning experience Matt. You always learn by doing … than you can discuss what worked well, what didn’t work at all and what can be done and improve to make things easier next time. Imagine if one of you had a broken leg and rescue couldn’t get to you until the very next day for whatever reasons… that’s awesome that you all decided to do it. You will only be better next time, that’s for sure … 👍👍. Good job boys !!! P.S: Hopefully no one were freaking out / looking for you guys … i.e: 3 trucks still in the parking lot 😉.

@MuskokaFreerider 2 года назад

For sure! We notified the snowmobile club 👍

@TheBuuurnz 2 года назад

I don't know if it's a good idea or not but I've seen it suggested before that if you're stuck overnight your actually better off to not burn off all your energy building a fire but rather try and warm yourself from within your by heating up water and then digging a snow cave to sleep in our of any elements. The idea behind this is that keeping a fire going just takes to much energy in the long run

@MuskokaFreerider 2 года назад

There’s no way I would’ve wanted to be out there without a fire

@Fizbini1 Год назад

My wife and I tried winter camping last year in a tent in minus 15c with camping gear. Biggest take away was cold radiating from under you is a really big issue. Need a high r value compact mattress if u want to tent. Also our fire burned to the ground as well. Seems like if ur stuck sledding shovel to the ground and lots of bows to protect from cold under you and dig to the ground before setting up the a frame.

@tuckertime90 2 года назад

I had to spend the night two years ago in valemount. We were definitely underprepared and it was miserable. Thank god for the inreach that we used to let everyone know we were ok.

@duaneross9271 2 года назад

I've actually spent the night in a snow cave didn't even need a fire. Snow has GREAT insulating capabilities. The snow may not have been deep enough. Try finding a large drift,that's what we did. We played down tarps on the floor and make sure and have a dome type ceiling or the snow will drop down because of the warmth. Actually the curling will drop a little water as well,but we all slept great. There were 4 of us in the cave.looked a little miserable, but life is all about memories anyway.

@engineeredtechgaming6349 2 года назад

Currently stationed in Alaska with the military - put your toes closest to the fire. They will get the coldest fastest and make sleep nearly impossible and/or frostbite inevitable. Your hands/arms are easy to wrap around your core which will stay warmest the longest. Also your feet are most likely going to be wet from snow or sweat so keep them close to the fire to dry out.

@ontheedge33371 2 года назад

I am a big fan of your channel and truly appreciate the stuff I’ve learned . I carry two saws and a little butane torch with fire starting material ,tools one extra warm jacket and the other regular stuff extra gloves etc . Two things I thought about when watching this . If someone was hurt and or the weather was really bad .Both things at one time is also a possibility . I do carry a first aid kit now I think a small tarp might be a good addition . What’s another 1/2 lb in the bag lol ❄️😉 Great episode . You should do another where you plan on staying and cook a nice meal over the fire 👍🏼 Thanks

@bryandraperscott 2 года назад

@skidoolover101 2 года назад

Awesome to see me and my buddies have been talking about trying this the last couple years. Might try it in a couple of weeks next time we're out west

@parkerrose2698 2 года назад

Every video I watch I always learn something new

@waults 2 года назад

So... on the lessons learned, you mentioned having the better saw, are there changes you are going to make to your gear bag, and what are they?... more food? the emergency blankets ok? The Matryx chassis has a ton of storage and thinking I should dedicate a part to an emergency kit. I already have new thermal underwear and socks sealed in Foodsaver bags, basically a dry base layer vacuum packed.

@blaserlongrange7616 2 года назад

Great video, bye a real saw, silky big boy outback,,slim saw that fits in the tunnel bag but cuts a 12" tree in 2min

@thecitiots Год назад

Very cool episode, would love to try that experience 🤘

@ChrisMason.333 Год назад

Lol, well you did decide to spend the night up the MTN again lol. But with the sleeping bag and the small blow up matt and igloo shelter I think it was better. Not as realistic for an emergency situation but entertaining. I’m going to do this with some of my snow bike buddies one day.

@moose4011 2 года назад

amazing video thx for putting in the long night so we no what to be ready for. fire is always the problem its a full time job to keep it going

@user-tc3we5bd8j 2 года назад

Молодцы парни, классно катаете. У нас в сибири тоже снега много. Но снегоход подвел. Сгорел поршень, снегоходу уже 6 лет. У вас круто, то что новые доступны по цене. У нас новый sammit стоит 30 000 $. А зарплаты 300-500 🥴. Вам классных катаний, ждем новых видео. 👍

@hopissaluk3446 2 года назад

Spent many, many time out in the wild. As you go do a bit more of these, you will find the things you need. Lots of fun when you are comfortable.

@jetblackjake8510 2 года назад

Great content Matt, its always good to practice once in awhile survival technique just in case. Keep up the good work man, love your vids!!

@dustin9759 2 года назад

Snow cave for the win. Takes alot of energy to keep a fire going.

@mikeharbak7916 2 года назад

Yo matt i hope you read this from me cuz i just wanna share my overnight experience with you and mine was not on purpose i got lost from my group in an mountain south of Prince George and got very stuck and couldn't find my self to get out on my own power i ended up sleeping on my tunnel to keep warm, i was unprepared for real no shovel, no fuel barely and it was snowing heavily, at a point I thought i was not gonna make it next morning my toes were frozen I couldn't feel them, then a miracle at 2 pm a helicopter found me on the mountain. So i that was my learning experience not to go sledding unprepared i was scared to death hope ur guys night was good , hope to get out riding soon

@robertnorman3181 2 года назад

Pocket chainsaw is a awesome item to carry along. look it up. makes cutting firewood way less work and packs small.

@ChrisMason.333 Год назад

I think one of those cable saws would be an asset.

@davidterry7043 2 года назад

Wicked! We usually shovel down to earth to build a fire, keeps its from sinking. And yes I realize that may be several meters of shovelling haha. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@gymkhanadog 2 года назад

Great time and nobody got hurt, so it was a good adventure! Next time stick your fire on a stack of big logs as wet as you can find them, and keep your fire smaller. It's fun to have a big fire, but big fires come with big appetites. :)

@unclegeek 2 года назад

LOL I was just about to say the same as Jon M below. Green Log base. That would last long to keep the sink rate low. Hope you had some beer or Whiskey, a good sipping whiskey is always good to keep handy in emergencies, pain control of course.... Great video, some good thoughts, I'll be prepared in the event of an overnight in winter.

@scottphillips4594 2 года назад

Anyone who backcountry sleds should do this every few years to keep your skills sharp. Thank You! Great Video!

@jimyeske8498 2 года назад

Les Stroud of Survivorman had a rule of thumb…. Whatever you collect for a night's firewood, multiple it by 5. He has another rule of thumb…. You sweat, you die! Hope this information is helpful. Great idea to test your back country skills!

@kevinconnors9396 2 года назад

If your looking for a good hand saw silky makes the best hand saws folding or straight blade theyre expensive but well worth it

Awesome video me and my buddy's were talking about doing a overnight in the mountains and now seeing you do it we all sent the video to each other and the idea is now brought up again thinking in april and wicked tips about building a shelter to high and the fire burning down and i already have a spot in mind haha

Bigger snow cave, smaller fire….silky makes a bombproof saw.

@RAM-19 2 года назад

Great vid to show public what happens when you have to survive out there. As a x SARTEC I can tell you 99% of people have no idea. By the way Bush rule for wood is cut what you think you need...then double it...you guys definitely have some guts....I live in the rockies...nothing for 200km in any direction...even going to shop out of town we always plan for the worst...hope for the best...keep the great vids coming...this is awesome...from my snowy...rainy...igloo on the mountain...D

@cutznfadez4683 2 года назад

I love the fact that you did this and shared it, but I'm honestly a little bit surprised that you guys didn't realize that your fire was going to sink 4 ft down into the snow like that's pretty much common knowledge

@kushiswashed.5027 2 года назад

cut long logs olace them close together in a straight line it will stop it from seeking if u would of placed the thermo blanket above ur head it would have reflected the heat from the fire into ur shelter pack snow on top of the bow on the roof of ur shelter to hold heat and a smaller entrence would be ideal

@sledheadzz7656 2 года назад

Amazing! Very good vid, keep the good work.

@krislarson5158 2 года назад

What was the other environmental conditions? Meaning were you mid-slope, bottom valley etc. That will definitely play in the night time low temp, Also you mention it wasn't that cold, what was the ambient temperature? The fact that it was cloudy during your venture helped keep the temperatures from dropping a lot versus a clear sky. Great content 👍 and committing to making it as real as possible.

Wow! Great video. Austin.. Crock of shit..😆. It is but what a lesson to learn. The fire looked like it sunk to China. After watching this, I'm definitely researching survival in deep snow. You guys are awesome for doing this and sharing. Glad to see the sled started with 1 pull. No need for spare sparkplugs. I'm sure Jerry is proud of this adventure.
