This was a complete surprise! And it is from 8 years ago…..you look so young!! I enjoyed the video. It was so far off from the one I watched about you and your Dad building the cabin. Which is spectacular. Looking forward to more of that incredible build. Thank you for sharing my friend and god bless.
I appreciated the pop up Log Cabin that you built. So I started watching more videos of you and your father and it was very refreshing. Then I saw your lovely wife. Then I found out you was a Christian and I said,"that's my brother.... I have to subscribe to him" And then I watched your very first video and I just have one question. "How do you know When you walk through the forest how to come back out of it without getting lost? I didn't see you putting markers down or anyting". I love the outdoors. Don't like too much snow, but I appreciate y'alls story, testimony, and how the Lord has moved y'all in His favor. I'm going to continue to like👍🏽 I'm going to tell others because you're my brother and you need support from your brothers and sisters. I'm in New York, and I just want to say thanks!😇🙌🏽🙏🏽
I would love to live in Canada. We have very little untouched nature here in Danmark, and its very hard to walk just a few kilometers without seeing houses or people. Great video btw. Peace out.
Totally awesome, fantastic footage, motivated me to keep up with my hiking here in south Australia. Sadly no snow here but awesome sunny days even warm, considering we’re in mid winter, love back to nature during this covid episode, loved your snow footage, glad to have come across your channel, very professional, well done from Aussie daz
Hi I am from Red Lake, Ontario and used to strap a pack on and go exploring in the bush and have a fire and cook stuff. What a great life that was. Where are you doing this stuff? Your videos are very well made. Love your skidoo camp shack...
I always have wanted to live off the grid like this in a natural, undisturbed, setting, without the typical cell towers, nuclear plants, landfills, and other environmental disturbances. Your videos are some of the best i have seen for learning and education for survival and living in wilderness! If I were a teacher, I would teach this rather than most of the nonsense taught in public schools nowadays, with kids all on their phones all day long, not learning anything. Great Job!
Great video, really liked you having the music mixed in, good job man, and the video footage of the snow, trees and sky brought it all together. Thank You!
Sounds and looks like your someplace in Ontario.First time I've seen your videos. You and your dad have done a good job on the cabin.Ill have to check out for more of your videos.This is Moe from Ontario.Im a female Moe, not a male.So outsider good job.Love the woods.
Very interesting. Nice to learn about yellow Birch. Thanks for the educations. I watch a channel Bush Radical he is in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I am constantly telling my kids about the gales off of Superior and I'm sure he spends hours trying to get rid of them. My kids are like we don't hear a thing Mom.😂
Reminds me of making Sasafras tea when I was a kid with the roots from the knocked down trees from contractors when they built our house in Bucks County Pa. Thanks for the video. Peace
Question regarding your attire: Your clothing in all of the videos I have watched so far (LCOAB 1-7, Snowshoes, Cabin under$500 etc.) you are wearing what many would call "very normal clothes". Jeans, plaid shirts, cotton/denim jackets work boots to name them. Is there a reason you are wearing this style of clothing? I could see it aligning with your "...on a budget" methodology but wonder if you would benefit from Goretex (during the episode of LCOAB where you are wet and very cold for example) and maybe a light weight lined hiking pant during some of your winter excursions. Good on you for being tough enough to handle the weathering, especially because I am often finding myself defending the clothing I wear to people (they will say I am somehow "weaker" than they are because I dress warm in cold weather to which I will say that I live in a world that allows me to clothe ourselves in such a way that no one should need to feel terribly uncomfortable in their given environment) but the question remains. Is there a principal or reason for your choices in clothing?
+Dane Greenwell Good question. The reason why I dress the way I do is because it's what I feel comfortable in. You're right that I definitely have an "...on a budget" mentality. I don't believe in purchasing all the "necessary" gear that other people might spend lots of money on. Now, could I sometimes benefit from upgrading my outdoor clothing? I'm sure I could. But I just don't feel at the moment that it would be worth it for me. It seems like you have also found what you're comfortable in, which is good. You shouldn't need to defend what you wear. As long as it works for you, go for it!
Hey Outsider - your videos really are great. You've got a sub. I'm in Ottawa about to be in Sudbury. Where about are you in Canada. That area to me looks very similar (lol not all look the same) I feel I've been there... How's the new cabin coming? Dennis.
You deserve more views. Also I may be a city guy, cause I couldn't help but bring a poncho a make a shelter out of it first thing. Then fire, branches, tea, whatever. But first, shelter.
Yes please. More hiking videos would be amazing. This was waiting on me to watch at a time when I knew I would need to be swept away. I don't know how but somehow you managed to select the most amazing music that could be possibly be selected. Subbed, liked, and faved!
***** From the response I've gotten on this video I think I will have to put out more videos like this for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm also glad you liked the music because I actually did put a fair amount of thought into what kind of music I'd be using (if any) for this video. Happy New Year!
My grandmother was Mi'kMaq... one time she took me berry picking in St Georges on the west coast of Newfoundland. She made wintergreen tea,,, It was delicious...
I live in south georgia and i am looking to build a cabin on some property we have. All we really have on are property are long leaf pines and i was wondering if it is possible to debark and season these pine trees and use them to build a cabin. And congrats on 10k subscribers
mason cook you can use any tree to make a log cabin, some are better than others (cedar is great for it's insect and rot resistance) but I took a class in Washington state on log cabin building and they taught that you use what you have and any tree species will work.
Great Video Sir. I enjoyed it a lot. We have property in Halliburton Ontario. Its close to Huntsville. Was this taken in Ontario as the woods and trees look very similar.
nice video! question, isn't wrong the use of jeans in a very wet environment? Jeans soak up water and dry very slow, in fact, seems your legs are wet almost till your knee, wouldn't that lead to hypothermia?
While you were eating, you looked like you heard something. my first thought was bears that may have picked up the scent. were you concerned.? good vid.
Buckl There aren't many bears in that area, but if there are, they were hibernating. Now wolves and coyotes on the other hand... lol I actually wasn't too concerned. There are many interesting noises in the bush and my ears are always perked up, but more out of interest than anything. I never know when I'll see a really cool animal passing through.
I remember one time, my dad and I where out for a hike. We where about to fill up our water bottles out of this one spring we found. We had to stop immediately when we saw these long thin hair like things poking up from the sand at the mouth of the spring. Pretty sure they where some sort of worm, possible a parasite? Kind of gross
Is that a trick question? It takes a season to season. So cut your firewood in summer, (after the harvest) and it will be ready for winter, (if you store it under cover). (Though its better if you have the space to season it until it has a moisture content of 20% or lower.)
are you using a shotgun mic for camcorders, or was that from the cam itself? i figured that it would have been a shotgun mic cuz the sound was definitely directional.
john randall I was actually just using the cam mike. But I know what you mean, the sound was really good in this video. There wasn't a ton of wind that day, and I usually set up in spots that were sheltered. This is probably what made it sound so 'focused'.
i would love to take a hike with you. something over night where I would have to build a shelter/fire/get food....you could allow me to experience the difficulty yet advise me the whole time.....
cool yeah u can do that kind of videos more often ;) please let me know if u can do that tea with white birch cose i dont have yellow birch in france ... C U bye!!
GERALD FROMTHEBUSH Thanks Gerald. Unfortunately White Birch doesn't contain oil of wintergreen, so you can only make tea out of Yellow Birch & Black Birch trees.
GERALD FROMTHEBUSH Salut Gérald, en France tu peux utiliser des aiguilles de pin pour la tisane, et si tu as mal au crâne le soir après la rando, tu prends de l'écorce de saule, elle contient naturellement du paracétamol ! ;-)
Grace & Peace John 3:16 In my country wearing Blue jeans (cotton) in to the wilderness is punishable by death. I am allergic to eggs and wood; How can i survive there? Can you please make a survival video for extreme desert conditions with only camel milk and scorpions.
The most adaptable people are!! as we lefties live in a right handed world. Here in Ireland even the milk cartons are angled for use by the right hand😠 PS we call the “white birch” silver birch here and it grows well here in our boggy land.. love your shows, where in Canada are you from?
You are not there so you don’t really know. I saw he had gloves with him so maybe he is just warm. And he is not complaining so don’t bother judging him.
Good videos. You should nonetheless preach the gospel in all of them. You reach a lot of people as your subscribers are more than forty thousand. Preach repentance and remission of sins in the name of Christ my brother in the Lord. Thank you for the videos. I subscribed to you today.
