Hey doug hi joe it's been a while it's been a long while it's been since the spring it was a mosquito on your nose that's a good sign look at it we uh we met up on the road somewhere that was a car we met up a couple hours ago on the road uh we both drove here from our separate.

Places and got here we haven't been out camping together in quite some time like i said already okay okay one more time so but how long ago was it that we were here two years two years but it was summer yeah hot swimming swimming yeah swimming.

So we're gonna go back to the same spot there's uh potential for some fish so we're just gonna hang out make a comfortable camp fish around oh well for this guy at least and uh and have some fun so most cake there's the sun look at that we were driving in the rain all day hot.

Diggity look behind you look behind you  do you have anything profound to say i never have anything profound to say i disagree with that if i did you'd be a different man piss.

We'll be able to ram right over top of it step one promote them oh we're gonna have fun doug full speed ahead oh this is greedy there's a big old drop right there and doug's just giving her i don't think you should do that i don't.

Think you should do that  maybe there's a spot to go down over here go ride it down we're gonna ride it down this is a bad idea  big camera almost won the drink this just looks so bassy.

So very bassy  one more left over i think are you kidding it's just there's probably one or two more doug home of your home is just homes just around that corner  yeah trying to at least if you're going.

In i better film it nice executed properly so let me follow it okay there's the feet getting wet all right ready for some skills where's your good camera yeah it's gonna fall in okay oh.

No we don't go left we don't go this way this is not the way i love this area man the oaks and the maples against the white pine sweet and the rocks full speed ahead or what yeah nice oh look at this eh me too this area for sure what you're doing well i can't get out.

Of my canoe on account of the water on both sides uh you want me to move that so you can step nothing because i can't get back in there all right goodbye okay wheelchair accessible because he's old because he's old as snot we're uh we're just out of the boats.

Right now checking out an area to camp we don't ah we don't mind camping in the spot that we can't before but there's a whole whole river shore whole lake shore here to to find a spot so up there might be nice skunky water though getting in here.

Pretty coming up here checking this out what are you saying i i no no no this on the count of not no land to lay anywhere but what do you think about this like i know this is this is a little bit of a not great water entry.

But if if we can't find flat stuff like we can still get in here if we can't find flat stuff like that looks pretty flat over there in the pines yeah but again it's not as desirable it's back in there yeah but anyways let's go no no no.

Yeah that'd be fun anyway there's acres and acres i'm just walking along the shoreline now going back to my canoe but there's just a ton of frogs jumping in everywhere hero maybe we should be fishing with frogs get all of them go i'm gonna hop up on.

This shoreline check it out maybe a good potential spot for a camp so what are we doing here doug i'm gonna sleep right here perfect you're gonna sleep right here and our campfire in the middle nice we found a nice flat spot here par for the course found a nice flat spot this is where.

We're going to camp all right folks there's a slim chance this holds i might have to put rocks everywhere we shall see i brought a pole this time look at me i have a pole all right she's up well camp is set up we got two open face shelters we're gonna put the fire right.

In front these are both real slick slick setups i'll show you doug's in depth in a minute i'm gonna go start uh collecting rocks and help doug cause he's carrying a big old rock right now hey let me hand this to you i'm good i'll take your word for it.

You know the gore-tex busy is just like the icing on the cake i know a shelter it's the cat's meow i've had 18 different bees knees what's that i've had 18 different babies that is without a doubt it's the best one i like it i like it a lot oh there's friends under this one.

Well well well sir sometimes you gotta it's okay these are all relatively big rocks too yeah i should be filming this too well i said that you said well let's get some more just like that you can be all right that's helpful thanks people are going to think i have a green screen again.

Me like had a green tarp i'll put a camp like on the booty somewhere not even like close to any houses or anything he got a comment one comment we can see the green screen i hope he was joking you're not that smart okay is mine even facing me.

Can mine see me that's crazy you're on the side though but you're getting there all right we got the dead wolf baby my microphone oh my goodness no that's funny no no no just look at it look at it check check check check check check it's good you said that oh it was a good one thanks for that.

Though yep yep probably couldn't see anything because there's camo just or the only kind of the black one of the black over the lens can i can i film though is that is it okay if i'm you've been filming the whole time no right but you know what i'm saying like it's been.

Difficult because you're putting things over top of my camera and that's silly oh yes the flat ground flat ground is amazing nice setup i like having this open fit open front shelter and in this thing i'm completely enclosed they could rain as you've seen so what is the uh.

Name of that one hey what's the name of that shelter oh yeah that's the company that's the company i can't i want to say it's a south let's go in and check it out oh we're just gonna.

Okay he's got his tie out point the webbing pretty heavy duty stuff what do you think that is i got cotton soft canvas yeah it's a very very light weight got it skirt you said three pounds yeah so you got enough room to fully stretch out a little twig flare in front pull that.

String to the side if you want to have a real fire it's pretty slick man pretty slick setup bring my feet all right well camp set up i've got all the essentials laid out here easy where i can see them stuff for my cooking my flashlights in there it's uh 5 20 right now lose light around.

6 40. so i'm gonna spend some time and collect some real nice hardwood i assume we'll be able to find some uh dried oak back in here because there's a lot of oak back in here we're gonna go get some firewood got my agua canyon saw my trusty saw for some.

Reason does not want to come out of there we go and i got my axe a lot of the same gear i i had on my last um outing holy smokes what even is that doug hold on don't open it this little thing yeah that little thing what would you call that oh my goodness what is it even katana that's the katana.

Boy i don't think i've seen that one i've had it for a long time oh maybe oh my goodness you uh you make quick work yeah oh yeah it's not dainty at all it's pretty thick the blade yeah it's it's not it's ridiculous i think yeah that's big.

I'll give that a shot but that's crazy you like it oh yeah yeah the only here's the downside is that you know how you bring limbs back you can't you can i can but normal person can't hold it like you it's a two-hander like oh you see right you're not really oh yeah.

If you hook up you can use this part yeah you're right but if you jump it on your hand bad news yeah it's uh well it makes little scars like i don't know like that no more like that gotcha all right firewood time yeah you should play with them i will.

It's ridiculous yeah that's cool man it's absolutely ridiculous all i see is pine over here this is pine but it'll do for good uh kindling to start with and to mix in with the oak until we find a good piece of oats right perfectly bone dry.

You get the woods oh nice    so  oh there's a bug inside my shirt good morning how you guys doing i slept great can't say the same for.

Doug he was up all night he says but uh it's like you know eight o'clock in the morning now fire's going already doug's off wandering around the woods so i think i'm going to get up and make some breakfast i started sprinkling a little bit last night so.

Ran and grabbed all my gear and just tossed it under here never ended up raining really liking this setup obviously i've been using it quite a bit we'll switch it up soon but uh yeah for this time of year this in between.

It's great it's coming down here south too to meet up with doug i'm getting a whole i'm getting a whole new fall like the fall is extended like crazy up north all the trees are pretty much done except for the birches are yellow still but this is nice weather this is like pretty.

Warm um still leaves on the trees and stuff so it's fun it's fun to be able to travel across the province and get different times of fall and different types of trees and stuff here's the rusty oranges of the oaks and stuff that i don't really have at home too much.

Okay let me get up oh a wild dog in his natural habitat hey where'd you get that sweater we're being surrounded by chickadees  we got some uh trail mix they'll probably come eat right over our hands they look pretty friendly.

Look at that fancy fancy boy  go go go go you're good okay i'm going go go go he's hunting a squewey wood pekko get dug a little little wintergreen for his uh espresso we're just doing him a favor like he will appreciate it i know.

This is what good buddies do they give there but they hook their buddies up when they bring their espresso with a little bit of wintergreen for their liking let's see if we can bury them in there you know i'm not trying to ruin it with grass.

 get under there go sink in the espresso go maybe it'll just taste like wintergreen now see if he says anything about it get rid of him he doesn't know we'll see some people put rocks in each other's backpacks when they go camping.

I'm putting wintergreen leaves in doug's espresso no i didn't oh no not on purpose all right let's talk about last night that was the most ridiculous night i've ever had camping why is that huh why is that the noises so beaver.

You were asleep out the time but how about like like 15 at least at least 15 times a beaver would swim up here at 3 o'clock in the morning and slap his tail right there right there five minutes later back slap his tail again i don't know if he's used to getting out where the canoe is or something but.

And that went on until 4 30. then the jump right out of bed i heard it like right close then something was walking it's a monster i think taking a child camp there was a monster behind the tents i put more wood on the fire and flanged it up and.

You know what spuy goes like this stuff was just crashing right through back here i'm like oh my goodness well there's quite a few game trails hindsight says yeah there's game trails along there so what was it i don't know but probably just a.

Bear or a moose but anyway it was funny i slept good i was out to dead to the world for most of the night not me well looks like it's gonna be a nice day yes we got some fishing to do today yeah definitely.

Definitely want to catch a couple fish i want to eat a fish today that's my goal let's have a short lunch yeah and my uh my trip will be complete i have this nice shore lunch fish every time joe's airplane no fail how did that um how'd your espresso taste doug it was okay was it a little minty.

Did it taste a little minty a ton of wintergreen i started around there a bunch is that what i swallowed in the bottom i don't think so in the cup no i took it all out i swallowed something on the bottom i said why is there chunks in the bottom what was it a big winter green leaf i.

Don't know i just swallowed it well then there's something maybe in the bottom but i was like why is there a chunk you're  welcome oh it's a big one it's a big one yeah let's throw some cheese on top this is smoked harvard.

So it's gonna be kind of garlicky from last night i had the garlic butter in there with popcorn and now i've got cheese on top let that melt in there those will be done he's got to be done nice it's still stuck because the butter is all on one side anyways no big deal.

The cheese some yolk in there look at that look how good that's cooked how many fish did you catch   no damn sun seasoning on them though no millions of ah yes if we were recreating our trip and we slathered and bam sun spices.

Way too much probably asked you a hundred times but what is the name of that do you know what's that the brand espresso maker oh i don't know it's not made for the woods is it no that one's not the other one i have is i don't know uh i was drinking too much.

The other one it was a six there's a six cupper so i thought i'd bring a small one just do it do it twice well no luck on this side of the dam so we're going up up and over so the fish aren't playing ball we're trying to have a shore lunch here.

And they don't seem to care um we were talking and i re remembered that there are part we're talking i remember there's pike in here so i'm going to switch off this wacky worm for a while i've been trying this all day today and a little bit yesterday and i'm going to try to put on either.

A shallow diver or a small spoon that won't go too deep because this is pretty weedy in here pretty snaggy as it were well it's a cheese and salami lunch oh well it's very strange like couldn't catch a fish to save her life today yeah the last time we were here was no problem.

Yep i don't know when that thing that turns over whatever people talk about the water turns over or whatever i don't know either but they're even jumping they're here anyway you have a good time i did did you yeah yeah it's always good to get.

Together yep good to get out even if it's just for an overnighter that said we're gonna eat our lunch pack up camp and make our way back so i'll catch the next one all right then all right then maybe we'll get together in the spring maybe the winter so no spring was too close.

Stay tuned this time next year maybe we'll go for first all right see you later guys top right hand yep
