    Derek all I can say is you learn by doing, you can watch as many videos as you want but real life teaches, I personally think you did a great job and commend you for it. I quite enjoyed the video, I’ve watched other people make those type of shelters with a clear painters tarp in the front and side to retain the heat. Looking forward to the next adventure and stay safe till next time.

    Thanks for sharing more of your weekend adventures….. it looked a little warmer during this episode lol. I’ve only tried the bison burgers once and I wasn’t impressed. I bought it from a farmers market in Calgary,Alberta but maybe I just had a bad batch so I’ll give it another shot someday. The rink looks great and I’m curious to see what you MacGyver up to make the ice smoother and harder. Maybe auger an hole outside the skating surface and use a portable water pump to flood it? Stay safe and as ALWAYS I’ll be waiting for my notification bell to let me know another video has been posted

    @davemcavene 11 днів тому

    Awesome video brother! A 20lb propane tank and one of those weed killer torches will help with smoothing out the top layers of ice and harden it up and give you a better surface to skate on. Just heat up the surface enough to melt it so it smooths out and work your way up and down the rink then let sit and refreeze for a little while. Worth giving it a shot at least. Keep up the great work man!

    Wow that is definitely cold, I can see why the tent had a hard time warming up as the wood and everything else in the tent has to warm up before the ambient temperature will. You have to have a hockey rink as a Canadian, almost mandatory, growing up in Montreal we used to make them in the laneway behind the house. Another great video, stay safe and try to stay warm.
