Thanks for the kind words! They are very much appreciated and encouraging. Stay tuned for more planned adventures in 2025

Thanks for commenting

Thanks Elwood, I am looking forward to it too! White Sand Lake...

Thanks for the comment! It was pretty low for sure. It was a fun time. Stay tuned for future adventures

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Proper rehydration takes time. I usually let it soak for at least an hour. It is possible you over dehydrated it as well. If u rush the rehydration. Your meal will suffer. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I don't know why, but it turned out fantastic this trip. It was my favorite of the trip, but the Curry Pork Noodles was a close second! Thanks for commenting and please check out my other videos if you enjoyed this one!

Thanks! It was a fun trip as always

Thanks! I really appreciate that! I dislike eating out of bags, or cooking in bags. I also severely dislike garlic. I can tolerate it, for example it is in the noodles and seasoning, but I avoid most things with it in it and never add it. The smell of it is nauseating and the taste is almost as bad. See? I'm not opinionated! lol Thanks for the comment and check out my other videos!

Very

This could be used for any meal. I usually have oatmeal as well, and bring this one out on mornings I have more time to play with breakfast. I have added peppers and mushrooms to it as well in the past, and it tastes pretty good as well, more like a breakfast casserole then. Thanks for watching!

Yes, one of my easiest. Thanks for commenting

It was a great channel. I have used a few of his ideas. I often wonder what he is up to these days and if he is still tripping

Not too bad this past spring. It varies each year. We check ourselves out pretty good. I hardly had any on me this past spring, but Aaron had more crawling on him. It is the way of the woods in the spring in that part of Nova Scotia. You need to be mentally prepared to deal with them, and be vigilant, especially when you are moving through long grass

@ yes, we find the same, a lot of it is a mindset. My brothers and I have started to try out permethrin, a liquid insecticide that we have sprayed on our woods clothing. Once sprayed, you let the clothes hang dry, and then they’re good for numerous washings before you need to reply. Does it work? Well now, that’s a good question - we need a Guinea pig to join us without any on and travel the same places to find out, lol. We figured it was worth it if it keeps lymes disease away. Oh, and where is your best-in-the-world backwoods meatloaf recipe? lol…

Great comment! I was hoping for that kind of response. It actually was an after thought. Thanks for commenting!

My precious little boy

Always making a racket unfortunately

I have used them and hate them overall. Most Tobeatic trails are difficult to even manage on foot, let alone with a set of wheels. Most carries in the wilderness area you couldn't use them and you would be carrying them as well. We actually found an abandoned set of wheels on this trip and I considered taking them...but it would just make more junk to carry. My canoe is about 56lbs, lighter than most boats out there today. It carries like a dream. Thanks for commenting!

@thewildernesswanderer140 wow that's really light for a tandem!

@@CanadianSledDog Amazing canoe made by Gruman for wilderness travelling. Virtually irreplaceable these days. It is almost perfectly balanced, you can put it up either way, but it carries slightly better stern first over bow first.

Thanks! I have lived in PEI for over 30 years, but I am from NB. Thanks for commenting!

There are virtually no people in the wilderness area. In nearing 30 week-long trips, I have only encountered people in the wilderness area a couple of times. Occasionally there are people at the access points, or sometimes vehicles. It gets few visitors and it is a huge area, so people like myself plan trips all over the place and those trips rarely coincide on the same dates or places. Thanks for commenting!

@ getting away from the crowds is important when trying to disconnect. That’s my kind of adventure.

@@ArtistryOfAdventure Thanks! I need to get away and disconnect. I do an 8 day wilderness trip twice a year and decided this past spring to share my experience and experiences with the world. It has turned out that I find it really fun to share, record video, make content, and be creative in this way, so look for lots of content to come. Thanks for watching!

Well done video, good narration and descriptions of the portages, etc. So glad that you and your son were able to get out and enjoy the woods and water. Will take a look at your vids for some backwoods meals as well…

@@Saltedbiscuit0007 Thanks for the comment! Yes please check out my videos and like and subscribe if you are so inclined! I am new to the UA-cam world but have really enjoyed making content and am planning for the future already. I have lots of material waiting to be processed and posted as well before I can get my next adventure planned. I appreciate the compliment on the video!

Thanks!

Sure was. Good memories, hoping for a follow-up trip next August

Thanks for the comment! - Ed

@@thewildernesswanderer140 also the soundtrack is awesome 👍

Great video guys. Looks like a perfect place. Shame about the knee.

@@sergneedless5127 Thanks! Seemed fitting for this "series" with my boy William

@@steve363 Ya, I overdid it a bit. It just needed some rest. I was out pounding the local trails again about a week after returning home

Good suggestion! - Ed

It was! And is lol. I take it every trip.

Yes I do! Rivertrail, which was a home brand sold by Home Hardware here in Canada years ago. It has been a great stove. I have been using this one since about 2010, and I used another identical one for my trips from 2004 until then. It got lost in a move, but I had a backup one. It has cooked a lot of meals and boiled a lot of water. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Ed

Thanks,I’ll see if I can locate 1 looks heavy duty compared to the back packer type

Lol! That's funny! Where I am there is no phone service for usually 2-3 days travel. I expect delivery pizza would be heavenly in the woods. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Ya I went looking since posting this video and his last video was 2 years ago, but most of his content is much older. He has some really good stuff!

I went looking a week ago or so, and he has been largly inactive for many years. A shame as I really enjoyed his early content

To me, the presentation would be wrong and it would be hard for me to get the consistency that I want. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@thewildernesswanderer140 fair enough. You gained a new sub, so I'll be watching your other cook videos and be looking forward to new ones!

Fantastic. Glad to have you. I was thinking about my meals for thr next trip yesterday

Interesting tip! I may try that next time to help keep from clumping up. The gravy does turn out fantastic, but sometimes it can have some thick, salty sections from the little clumps, but they taste good too! Thanks for watching and commenting!

It's just the people that want to know what's in it, nbd

It's the technical things that get me all the time ​@@alpastor666

@@alpastor666 Well, he mentioned beef, so it's cottage pie.

I also mention in the video that "real" shepherd's pie is made with lamb, not beef

A predator? Do tell!

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it

Yes, I mention that in the video and in various other replies to comments here. Everyone here calls this "Shepherd's Pie", and basically very few people have ever even heard of cottage pie. Thanks for the comment!

I have seen that method a few times. I have tried it a couple of times, but it hasn't turned out well, and you can taste the plastic bag in my opinion. Dishes can be a pain, but my meals are so good and so filling, you look forward to supper time all day when you are out in the woods.. But they do require a lot of dishes... I would love to for you to share some of your recepies @Oldsparkey!

You could add whatever you like to it. I often add onions to various meals as I love the flavor

Sorry for the late response. Shelf life is very long. I keep dehydrated foods in the freezer until use. I have used meat 2 years old, and my buddy 3 and 4 years old. Keep the food cold and sealed airtight, and use the leanest meat that you can

Thanks! It was great, and always seems to turn out great! Thanks for watching!

Yeah I know I know. Substitute in some ground lamb for the ground beef and you'll be all set. Everyone where I live calls this shepherd's pie but I know technically it isn't

Correct, which is what I said in the packaging section of the video for those who want to be accurate on their terminology. Around here it is called Shepherd's Pie. I am sure you could make it with lamb. Thanks for commenting!

Anything extra to make it good!

Always. Thankfully they are available in abundance!
