In the middle of all this snow oh there's one two three four moose up there i think we've seen like 11 or 12 moose on this trip nathan what did you guys do i think you hit a tree well it's been a little eventful getting back to camp.
Luke got a snow machine stuck in a goalie and it took a good 30 40 minutes for all of us to get it out and by the time we got it out jake's snow machine had cooled down and the clutch froze so it's not starting yeah we're a good hour or so into just messing with snow machines.
Here watch out you don't want this strap snapping back at you either there we go all right we towed the snow machine all the way back to camp and uh we're gonna get a fire started get some food and get this tent warmed up it's cold you out want to back up this stuff scare.
The place yeah that's burning good all right nate you want some chocolate milk okay oh yeah okay chocolate milkshake right there all right should we get some dinner going and we kicked butt which always hell oh that smells good guys i think this is perfect who wants a tinfoil dinner.

One down man that's beautiful so we were taking this zone machine up a hill and hit the kill switch and the machine died of course and we couldn't get him turned back on something's wrong with the machine all right guys we've been monkeying with this machine it looks like it's properly stranded here.
Can you tow that machine out or are you with that one or you have to get some friends to help you i can't tow it out with this one though we're gonna squeeze onto two machines and see if we can get back to camp can we see if the hot dogs are done all right are they cold or hot lukewarm giving them another 5-10 miles.
