It's pretty snowy in these dense Woods here I came to this catch Woods looking for a place to Camp I'm solo this time and I'm going to find a place hopefully with a little bit more of an opening so that I can get out of this dense bush with all this snow I've got all my gear in a duffel bag and I'm pulling that in a small sled.
Behind me it's supposed to get pretty cold tonight I have a bivy sack I'm going to sleep on the snow hopefully build a nice big fire and just chill out this is nice and open here I like this um it does seem swampy so I'll have to check things out but uh potentially we'll Camp right.
Around here there's a ton of deer sign all around here so I'm glad I don't have Wolfie with me this time I just uh figured I just come out solo well it does feel like this is wet underneath here so I'm going to keep going not only does it feel a little like marshy in here but there's a.
Ton of Widow makers all around here so I want to pick a different spot but instead of hauling that thing any further we'll just leave the sled and the big camera here and we'll just hike around and see what we can see we'll uh we'll get a definitely get a good spot I'd like to stay in the sun if possible a big Forest I've camped once here.
Before but there's gems like this of firewood everywhere so tight in here that uh trees just end up not making it and are dead standing cuz they're all competing for sunlight here I think we're going to compromise with the spot that's in the bush but in.
An open spot as opposed to open open because the snow's a lot deeper out there it's nicer in the bush a little bit more protection but uh I guess I'll just knock a bunch of snow off trees too that's not a big deal I think it's somewhere around in here dust really flat nothing bad around it it's not bad.
There okay this is it this seems perfect to me nice small little open patch it's got a lot of resources like birch bark just flaking off trees right here got a lot of downed firewood already everything looks pretty cool in here lots of light.
So yeah we'll set up and get some firewood going kick out some snow and uh settle in beautiful beautiful out here yeah I think I'm going to put my bivy right here I don't have a ground sheet or anything just a bivy in my sleeping.
Pad just the bivy sleeping pad sleeping bag anyways I think I'll put put it here it's nice and flat probably the fire right in front of me seple ways and uh just chill out I got no chair or anything but I can sit on that sled yeah okay let's get to it just want to drag this over where I'm going to sleep flatten it down a.
Bit not too bad little bumpy little bumpy again that'll be my wrap game little bumpy all right we got to uh knock some snow off these trees too it is actually pretty cold these are all dead Spruce be good kindling I might as well take them all.
Down but I think uh yeah I'll wait to put on my puffy so I'll start doing a bunch of work and warm up chill down after the walk in here it's like I got Long John's pants long sleeve sweater to this I have a puffy and like socks and another pair of long johns in there so I'll be all right.
but no just a little snowy little snowy Joey well that's pumping up behind me behind you actually I'm going to get this stuff and lay it down as a base for my fire probably not the greatest.
Firewood but it'll be more than fine for the base Bas Bas Bas Bas nobody comes here so it's just it's all just wild there's tons of firewood everywhere.
very very green very green all right let's get this thing done and safely tucked away just got to finish her off now it would keep going and and uh i' only have to give it two or three breaths but I wanted to wrap it up try.
To keep as much snow out of this B as possible this is that uh easy to get Surplus big iy so if anybody's interested I got it at a pwn not a pawn shop a surplus store der okay I got a big Hefty bag what is this one -2 Celsius so it should be pretty good.
Tonight it's a good sleeping pad too so pretty confident now I can kind of just tuck this aside and uh you know what I mean that'll be ready to go on some flat ground when I want to go to bed out of the way of falling snow and branches and potential Sparks so I'm going to put my my sled over here.
Too I wish I could wear my gloves off all the time but just filming doesn't uh allow that if you're wondering why I'm not wearing them most of the time that's the case okay this is the safe spot here I know I want to sleep here and there's nothing really above if I go maybe even two two steps away.
From my Camp before I sleep because I can sit on that sled anywhere that's a nice big distance I don't have to worry about Embers from the fire let's do that there's the oh it's like grass look at this so.
Yeah got a little snow on my head right well I'm building up a nice decent little fire lay but there's no hardwood in here it's going to be a lot of uh Spruce and balls and stuff but if I can find big chunks like this to put behind it I kind of like fire reflector type thing these.
Will burn out for a while too it's a little effort right there very light very light no loose caner oh loose canon they good.
Okay not cold anymore tell you that much after working cutting all this wood next to the fire it's good okay I'll put that there put something underneath it too looks a little bit better maybe.
not okay cool nice and easy at least Fire's burning on this side it's a little Lop sidy but I so you know just wanted to take a minute and say thank you I really appreciate you guys you know I um told you poured my heart.
Out and man the the outcry support was amazing so thank you very much uh on the past few video past couple videos The Views were really really good as well so thank you guys came through in the clutch I wanted I even messed up on that um last video I put out the camping on the cliff video I I scheduled it to come out.
And when I wasn't ready uh I didn't have the thumbnail or the title done uh when you're uploading videos to YouTube you can go public scheduled or private and normally I'll go scheduled until I'm ready with the thumbnail and the title in the description and stuff but it came out at some obscure time I I must have messed up on the date I put it scheduled.
To came out with just the title Cliff Camp all in lowercase letters one word and just a crappy thumbnail that the uh Auto generated but anyways I fixed it when I saw it and still good views so thank you once again guys you guys you guys are awesome I really do appreciate it this is going to burn nice but I do need more.
Wood a all Joe's playing it's been a minute e oh could he smokes I almost didn't.
Recognize okay supper on here getting pretty hungry that is a nice slow burning fire super happy with that I got a bunch more wood always collecting more super easy like I said we are sitting pretty so I'm going to start preparing.
Supper I really like using the Dutch oven haven't done it since the fall actually it's probably enough on you now assume red pepper maybe in a minute should be good right away and we'll just wait a little while on the pepper I think that's the.
Move even though uh there's not many Flames coming through it's just all coals underneath so it's a nice big hot bed of coals getting everything ready for supper here and I realized that one thing I did forget is a utensil a fork a spoon a spork what have you so I'm going to cut myself a cedar branch.
And carve it down make a little stirring utensil and I'll eat with it as well stirring SL eating utensil coming up using light if I look at it it's already got a little bit of a dip here so if I can use that as like my spoon part then that's even better I'll split this with my saw.
With my axe rather not my saw silly perfect I could use either piece really we'll see nice and Cedar's awesome nice and clean and smells good real crude for now got to stir this up I.
Think touch that oh nice smells really good okay okay there oh I forgot there's big garlic cloves in here too um I'll put that red pepper in I left them relatively big so anyway that'll add more moisture and we'll just let this cook until it's done got to get some seasoning in there.
Too before too long but that can wait a bit oh well that's that it's nice and spoony except for that knot right there maybe oh you know what I can knock that off with the axe but I I put a little notch on here so I can pull up the uh handle on the cast iron as well but check out this little Necker it's pretty slick man.
See the handle on it it's like all like scal the scales are like um you would say it like carved up so make grip this thing's a freaking laser razor even it's by um the company the guy uh field and steel and he's out of the UK I believe or over in Europe and uh again no affiliation just happy with my purchase.
So man check this out it's like uh caving in cool was fun what it lasted last quite a few hours like that we'll just uh we'll adapt you know we'll fix it problem is it burns in the middle and then the snow on the side keeps the sides up and then it uh just doesn't.
Burn properly starts to smoke and everything but again there are fixes there we go on fire Crossfire you'll get caught up in the crossfire Crossfire cross.
Anyone I'm sure someone oh those Peppers Hoy smokes they smell good can't see potatoes are starting to get soft stir this piece around them SNES on the bottom got a special seasoning.
You guys are going to be happy about it I'm sure I know I am just raising it up a little bit that's as high as it goes that uh cord on there there we go just a little bit slower cooking cuz that fire is roaring now she's a roaring okay real OG's of the channel will know what I'm talking.
About do you guys remember bam Sun spice bam Sun seasoning wow I had a lot of lot of requests to get it back over the years and it's back is just a little bit different it's not called bam Sun seasoning anymore it's called Joe robinet Camp spice it's by the same guys which was Smoke show made for Joe and.
Those who Roam by smoke show uh onion garlic black pepper sea salt coriander red hot chili spices a lot of people really like this last time Nono vegan and natural um it is a little bit different than last time I will tell you that but is still very good it's in a different kind of bottle why can't I open it there we.
Are very very very lovely and put a generous amount in the anyways so the the thing is I don't know if this I I'm still waiting on confirmation that this is ready to go look in the description of this video if you're interested and it will tell you if this is ready to go or not and it will give you instructions how to do it.
Or when to do it or how to go about that um but yeah anyways no big deal on my end either way if you are interested in the BAM Sun spice you'll probably be interested in this I still haven't added any significant amount of wood to this since I started they just some.
Twigs this is a nice camp this has old school Vibes to me I'll most likely sleep with most of my clothes on sometimes you hear not to do that but when you're only out for one night it's not that big a deal actually it's not a big deal at all.
Just out for one night all right let's check on that food probably pull it off there Hy Smokey oh it's done it is done all right good amount of food nice and.
Cooked not nice and cooked as opposed to Raw I'm looking forward to that caramelized onion and garlic that is glowing Pokey smoky it's still glowing I must have been a touch hot cross fire well I brought that other.
Light out here so I could use it to film at night and I I thought for some reason if I turned it down one I had the memory if I turned it down one setting it wouldn't do that line th but I was wrong I was wrong as I've been before believe it or not all right we're going to get into.
This oh boy very good very very good everything's nice and soft stupendous have I mentioned I really like red peppers before there's something about.
Them when you put them on a fire cook them oh here's a full garlic oh boy it's not a bad life not a bad life at all you know pretty freaking good so pardon me let me chew this I still haven't added any wood at.
All just some Twigs when it was struggling at the beginning but like it's going really well super super super happy for this super happy for this I am really really really looking forward to canoe tripping season got some big trips planned with Wolfie we're going to go up to Woodland Caribou I believe for an iso.
Trip um that area I'm kind of concerned about forest fires and stuff like that so if I I figure if I go right at ice out there' be less chance of that cuz it's so cold and wet and everything and I actually went there last year with Tosh and his buddy Jason um but I bailed on them before we uh could do the full trip I actually it.
Was a crazy crazy thing but anyways ended up leaving but seeing that topography and that landscape and stuff after all the burns like it burned like 200,000 hectares or something like that burned two years ago right around there anyways but it's like it's not it's not horrible it's like more.
Like like sub Alpine terrain like no like there's a lot of trees in some spots but some spots is just open you know what I mean or New Growth maybe 5 10 years growth couple years growth so it's really cool like some places look like the surface of the Moon there some places are heavily forested but some places are are pretty like Yukon esque.
Like Northwest territor ises but anyways not a bad deal especially with the dog cuz I can see him run away for a freaking a mile you know what I mean chasing whatever he does so the fishing should be pretty good at that time of year not sure if we'll fly in or or what we'll do but I'm excited for.
It and Kyle and I are supposed to get together again this year Kyle had a a baby last year so we didn't get together he had a daughter too which is pretty cool happy for him but understandably he didn't get away last year we're going to do something this year I believe late May so I'm excited to see Kyle I don't.
Have too many friends these days and uh Kyle's been a really good friend for a long time so still talk to Doug on the phone quite a bit he's just not into camping really too much which is fine totally get it but uh dug see friends until the end all right.
Well as will Kyle and I anyway I'm going to eat this up I'm going to enjoy my supper I'm nice and warmed by the fire there's tons of heat radiating to me and uh yeah we're living large out here our Cedar stick spoon slash.
Spatula Spork Splendid it's been a minute since I talked to you guys supper was really good I still haven't added any wood to this fire but it's dying down so it's about time to do so.
Lots of debris lots of debris in this snow little little garnish there a little twig for garnish she tipped over she tipped over folks there we go lots of debris in there I can see already need some more snow well I do believe it's.
Snowing wasn't supposed to in the forecast but that doesn't mean much obviously we're going to continue to melt some snow for tomorrow morning for our breakfast fire's going nice there's about a quarter of this full of snow sorry of water after I melted that first one so we're just.
Going to do this for a little while and hang out man it'll be bed time before we know it I'm going store all my stuff in this uh sled so that I know where it is in the morning I just moved this back over here I was laying in it over there but wasn't.
Very flat and this is the spot I picked out so I would like to use it trampled it down made it nice and flat uh it's almost 11 I threw a bunch of wood on there that fire is going rocking as you can see I'm excited to go to bed oh yeah I'm going to sleep in as much as possible I'll get.
Up got a french vanilla and I got a uh a couple packs of oatmeal make up before I get on out of here it's not that cold it doesn't feel that bad actually all right folks oh that's it for Old Joe tonight see you guys in the.
Morning oh yeah good morning folks slept real well um it's past 700 in the morning now so nice uh good long sleep I stayed relatively warm it's not cold this morning at all fires I don't know we'll see looks out from.
Here but maybe we'll be able to blow it back into Flames either way time to get up and make some food cuz I am freaking hungry last time I got up to PE about five there was there was still glowing Embers in the fire so we'll.
See that was probably one of the better sleeps I've had outside and also one of the flattest this is a a very flat spot which you don't always get man I find myself always looking for some flat spots and having to stuff something underneath me and uh just settle for slanty but there's no slanty.
Here except for Old Joe himself Gators in the winter folks unless you want to wear knee high boots Gators are the way to go yep Frozen they frozen solid boots on the.
Feet what you laughing at it was stuck to the ground H oh yeah there's some some glowing coals in here not many last night I was just hanging out by the fire so I decided to do some fire prep for this.
Morning so that I can get it going relatively easily even though there's some coals in here I'm not going to bother trying to blow them into flames I'm just going to light this uh fire back up here with the bird spark and stuff keeping a lighter in your pocket in the winter time is a good idea just.
So that it doesn't get too cold to use you can always warm it up but easier that way all right my youngest daughter wanted to pack me breakfast so this is what we have got a purple plastic cup we got not one but two Dino eggs oatmeal with real Dino eggs in it real ones and.
Then yeah don't forget the second don't forget the second one the dino eggs you guys want to see a dino egg I don't know you've all had this or not I think it turns into a dinosaur with hot water anyway and then.
Also uh some french vanilla so I think I might do the old joke meal style and put some of this in here a little you know a little boost let's see see how she goes really nice fire you can see the amount of snow it melted away I thought it would have been bigger.
Honestly if it was hardwood it probably would have been bigger but readily available wood is always a plus in my book I burned up my eating utensil last night just got to make something real quick here with doing this I think it's just important to get off the outer layer of.
Bark and clean it up as much as possible and it's usually pretty good as long as the wood isn't like all sorts of rotten or funky no funky Woods all right just for now so we can stir this up ch try and pour this slow to keep out a lot.
Of those nasty particulates the uh the French vanilla worked and B they do turn into dinosaurs I'm sure you just thrilled about that it's a.
Stegosaurus a Stegosaurus I don't know what that's supposed to taste like though anyway just going to eat this up pick up my little stegosaurus friends I'm go back with you before I leave.
All right folks that's the video I hope you enjoyed it I had a blast an actual blast so we'll see you soon on the next one something different than this guys stay good and uh tell someone that you love them how about that tell someone that you love them and make their day but don't lie to.
Them don't lie to them you know all right have a good day guys we see you soon bye rope is significantly shorter
