Glad u woke up! Scary
Binge watching ❤
Luv your tent set up, 2 zipper doors 🤩
I enjoyed the video cant wait to see more !
Please cut back on that annoying music. At least set it more in the background. Thnx We had to stop watching this episode. Check back later.
I randomly picked this video, I watch Jay all the time. He puts out great videos.
Wow! You were just at 1000 subs! You are blowing up! I am so happy for you!
I saw you on Jay's channel, I'm real glad I subscribed to yours, loving the content 😊😊
Joined through Jay. Nice setup. Nice video I enjoyed it. Will be watching your videos.thanks 😊
Wow that sled sounds like it's struggling
I went bear hunting a few times out of John Blake’s (guide) camp near Espanola, On. in the late 1980’s. John passed away in March of 2019 I think it was but, he was a heck of a great guy.
Just found your channel and really admire your kindness toward Jay! We have been watching him for years and look forward to your adventures as well. Keep up the great work!! We are in northern Maine(Allagash) and look for more ideas.
Hi Derek,enjoy both yours and Jays channel,love the videos you guys put out.amazing content and enjoy this kind of thing,both are top notch channels.cheers guys.have a great day
Love your tent porch , great idea.
You should shave your beard and get a face tattoo you would get more attention kidoo 😂
Hey Derek! Thanks for your kind words. I’m truly wishing you the best on your UA-cam journey. Also, your tent is AMAZING! What a spot. I’m sure we will be catching up throughout the winter. Stay safe and warm out there. Jay
Love both of you keep it up. I'm disabled and can't camp like I want to and you both bring me joy.
Hi Derek! You and Jay should do a two night back and forth trip between cabins! Some good food and conversation, I think people would enjoy that! Just a thought! Take care buddy and we’ll see you next time!
YESs!!!!
Enjoy the winter in your tent. Hopefully you got the chimney and smoke resolved.
Maybe if you were to raise your chimney. A foot or two higher will make a difference above the peek of the tent. It may need some cables with a stack that long. Nice setup!! Winter wonderland 🍁 very best :)
💯%👍🏻 The top of the chimney has to be above the peak of the roof to achieve constant proper draft.
Great video, there is something about being along in the woods with the quiet, gives you time to recharge the soul from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I’m glad you woke up and saw the smoke it could have been really bad but it all worked out. I’m sure you’ll find the problem and will have many amazing nights at the tent. Looking forward to the next one.
Glad I joined (thru Jay). Had a similar problem with smoke in my wood stove - at the house; a down draft and scared my wife. I was across the street and that's the last time I used the stove. Another person commented on the stove turned down and that would reduce the pressure going out so any wind could cause a reversal. Regardless, hope you get it worked out and we'll wait for your next adventure. Very best.
Have make sure you put your chimney together with male ends towards the stove, so creosote will run down the inside of the pipe into the stove. If you put it together the other way around, creosote will run out at the joints of the pipes and burn and cause a lot of real strong smoke. I have a stove almost the same as yours, produces a lot of creosote when you turn it down for the evening. Been there done that, have fun!
Osburn is a good stove but they are quirky. You sure eat good 👍 I’d be inclined to drink good and perhaps howl at the moon too lol. Thanks
Every time I see your tent I have to admit it’s my favourite set up.
It's a nice spot for sure, u been to the cabin yet?
@ Leave Monday
I found your channel through Jay Legere. I really like your tent set up.
Great video! Stay warm! 😊
Did not know people ate black Bear.
The burger looked good regardless.
I was sent by Jay :)
That’s a scary feeling being waken by smoke in the middle of the night. Glad you woke up in time. Hopefully you resolve the issue so it don’t happened again. What do you do for entertainment at night when it’s too dark to do work outside effectively? As usual the food looked incredible!!! Stay safe and I’ll be on the lookout to see how the Woodstove situation turned out. Cheers brother ☕️☕️
Hey Brother good to see the Video! I know all about tying mantels with thick cold fingers! ;) Yum I need to come for a BBQ! Wonder if a nest was in your pipe and it dried out and fell into the elbow.
With those stoves if the stoves not burring hot it tends to push the smoke back down the chimney with the draft system in the bottom. With a hot fire going keeps the pipe hot and smoking going up. Use to have one in the cabin for a short time and it did the same got rid of it. It was bad for the smoke coming back in when the fire was simmering low.
New here from Jay Legere. This is good stuff!
Yay a new video! Watching the fun!
My first time seeing Jay Legere’s channel today. And he mentioned you, so I thought I’d stop by here. Love both of y’all’s channels now!!
Great tent, looking forward to following you, best wishes from Scotland 🏴
Looks like an amazing trip out on the skidoo on the ice. Looks like your pass what seem to be small islands on the way with clumps of trees? Do you still need to go over that little creek albeit frozen? I guess or is there a bypass track you go up over?
Hands down, the best firestarter is cotton balls half dipped in vaseline, takes the first spark every time and long lasting. I always carry some in pill bottles. Life savers. Got that tip from an Eskimo 40 years ago
Derek, I agree with you about those serving sizes on various things. I reckon half the time when it says one serve it’s probably for a very small pygmy. 😊. That fire sounds interesting how it backdrafts a lot. Do you think the fire gets enough fresh air coming in through gaps in the tent so there’s enough oxygen there? I see on one of your more recent videos You’ve changed over to new fireplace/stove.
hey girly....... do your sandwiches right and don't forget the salt and pepper or oil and vinegar... it makes all the difference.. i have made thousands of sandwiches in restaurants,,, thats why they taste better than home made. .
If you’re willing to share a restaurant sandwich secret recipe, we’d love to know how to make one of your most favourite sandwiches that would work well in our kind of set-up! 😋
Those GMCs are such good looking trucks!!
Agreed. I really like my truck, but to be honest, our local dealership has always treated me well. I’ll always truly value genuine service over product. Any. Day.
Girls did a great job of the tent. Looks like a surprise early visit from Santa as well. wonder if he will turn up this yr ? Very impressive. Ps still working my way through some of your videos.
Thanks so much Duncan! We’re so close to Santa’s workshop, I was able to skidoo over and ask him for a quick little favour!LOL 🎅🏻
Came from Jay Legere's channel cant wait to watch your channel too
Welcome Angel 🙏 It’s a pleasure to have you along for the ride with us 😎 Where are you at in the world? //derek
@SubArcticAdventures Beaumont tx but hometown is Chicago Illinois ( sure miss snow camping alot )
@@angelpurcell3156 oooooooh… I’d love to see either of those places. Texas for 100% sure. I’m actually envious of you! Take care and chat again! 😎
Fk cut out the music I’m back ground can not hear any talking
Jay sent me, love watching!!
Thanks so much Edward! Love having you! Cheers! //derek
Enjoying your content. Another person who saw you on Jay's video 👍. I went back and watched some of your others and like seeing more about Canada. I'm from Michigan originally but North Carolina now and been in different parts of Canada. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Roger! Welcome aboard, my friend. I’d love to get to many more places in the USA in the future. I’ve been to Maine, Florida, and Hawaii but big hopes for the future. Where in Canada have you been? //derek
@@SubArcticAdventures I lived closer to ON, so Sarnia, London, Toronto several times. Also Montreal a couple times, and furthest west would be Edmonton. Went on a canoeing/camping trip north of Sault St Marie which was fun. Come on down to North Carolina, we'll show you around!
That’s so awesome 😎. I’ll hold you to that Roger! Lol. The canoe trip would have been gorgeous. I’ve only driven through Sault St Marie a couple of times, but that whole area is breath taking.
Definitely always idea to check the ice thickness , that wind made be shiver , sounded Cold Brrrrr , and I'm not exactly one who minds the cold LOL. I gotta get me a ice fishing tent to for some winter fishing I've been throwing hints as Christmas approached but I'm pretty sure Santa hasn't heard them yet LOL. Now I'm looking for one for two cots and a wood stove LOL. I want to be able to Cook , probably be eating steak too with my fishing luck LOL. Need a welding blanket around the tent to keep the heat from the heater , of course won't help falling in the hole LOL. Three of my four kids are lefties LOL. As I say it's Fishing not catching , it's all about the adventure ....I keep telling myself that LOL. Hope you have an awesome week looking forward to the next adventure
Hey Garry! I’d be interested in knowing how you make out with the welding blanket. I’ve heard they make a bit of a mess… I’m in the market for a new fishing tent too. I need to replace the Eskimo one I wrecked last season 😅. We’ll See some fish soon, brother. I promise!
@SubArcticAdventures Funny you mention that about the welding blanket I've seen a few people use them and seem to work well but only yesterday I was looking at mine in the shed and seem to be getting ragged out on the edges will keep a eye on that and let you know. Have a great week my friend
Please do, and I’ll be watching for it! 😉 Cheers, my friend!
Jay sent me!..good that you helped each other on the journey over..think you have the deluxe version of tents..😂 however, I'm not sure sometimes what you are eating! The steaks looked mahoosive, tho! Stay safe, and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Hey Julie! It was definitely the best idea to travel out there together. Now that we know it’s safe… won’t we season is ON ☺️. We’ve got a new video scheduled for Friday… wait until you see what’s on the menu for this one! 😉.
You should get the drill attachment for your auger twenty volt drill Makes life easy
I wouldn’t be opposed to trying it for sure! It was a new auger purchase for quick outings I anticipate doing this season. I have a 2-stroke gas powered 10” one for when the ice gets to be about 6 feet thick 😉.
Jay sent me. You have a great channel.
Welcome aboard! We appreciate the support! Where abouts are you at in the world? //derek
