I’m really enjoying your videos. Stuck in the house for two years fighting cancer. I go to a bush close to home but no over night trips. Living through your eyes buddy. Thank you. From Ontario
Hey Clifford. I sincerely hope you get though your fight and are able to do what you love again soon. Thank you for posting this comment. It really means a lot. You keep fighting and we will keep making videos. Hope you are better soon my friend!
Crazy! But fun to watch. I love backpacking in the summer, but don't think I'm quite ready for winter. Although, you made it look fun - it was the look on Lu's face.
Good morning Keenan. North Central area of Georgia USA. We don't have those temperatures here. Dinner looked delicious. I love cooking over an open fire.😊
Thank you! A nice mild winter climate wouldn't hurt my feeling to much. I remember my first time heading down to Florida getting off a bus in Georgia and feeling the warm air after a long cold winter.....it was heavenly! Appreciate the comment very much.
My husband and I love watching you and Ashley, and your precious dogs, explore the wilderness. Your videos and music are beautifully done. We are HUGE fans from Corvallis, Oregon. Keep doing what you’re doing, Guy, and we will definitely keep watching!
Thank you very very much for that nice comment. We appreciate your support more than you know. Glad you guys are enjoying the videos!!! We have not had the opportunity to visit Oregon yet but it’s on our to do list. Looks beautiful. Thanks again!
Thanks very much for the comment Ken (and Toby). Hope you guys are doing well in the lone star state. Lots more winter camping (and whisky pours) to come!
Loving the progression in the in the winter camping setups, from tent, to tarp, to natural shelter. I'm enjoying the videos. Winter is a great time to be out there
Thanks very much Branden. We have really been enjoying this winter. Im not sure why it took us so long to get into the winter camping thing but you are right...It's a great time to be out there. Thanks for the comment!
I’m sure you would have had some cool nights in the military 🥶. We are looking forward to some spring fishing as well! Thanks very much for the comment.
Danke Tendfy. Wir wissen es sehr zu schätzen, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, ein paar nette Kommentare zu hinterlassen. Ich hoffe, in Deutschland ist alles gut.
That is winter camping at it's finest, tucked under a tree. Very cool spot, you looked cozy as can be. Lou just has the cutest facial expressions, she cracks me up. Lol You are spot on with the baked potato in the coals, can't beat it and so easy! Ever try garlic butter for the bread when doing grilled cheese? It is a game changer. Lol. I am in Nova Scotia, Canada and so glad to see you and Lou out again. If I can't be out there, so enjoy watching others experience it! Great winter camping trip. Thanks for sharing! :) :)
I will have to try the garlic butter on a grilled cheese! That sounds deadly...Betty makes me laugh as well. You can really read all of her emotions. She's a funny one! Thanks as always for the comment Jacqueline. Hope your staying warm in beautiful Nova Scotia!
Bravo pour le partage... Super manière de vivre... Hâte de découvrir vos autres sorties. Merci de penser à nous ... loin de votre belle province! Bravo for sharing ... Great way of life ... Looking forward to discovering your other outings. Thank you for thinking of us ... far from your beautiful province!
Merci beaucoup Claire. Thanks for always taking the time to post nice comments. Glad you are enjoying the videos and we are happy to share with people that love the outdoors such as yourself!
Gretzky makes some great stuff! Glad you are getting out and making the most of this Winter brother! Another killer video! Ton foulard est super chic! 👌🏼-Britt

Watching from Tasmania, it will be hot here for the next few days, we've had a coolish summer which I'm happy about because I love the colder months....take care over there🐾🐾🥶❄️👍👍
Wow....Tasmania. That’s certainly a long way from any part of Canada. Glad to hear the weather has been cooperating for you. I was just looking at some photos of Tasmania. Looks like a very beautiful place to call home. Thanks for sharing!
Great overnighter. Dinner looked amazing! Just got back from a -26c overnighter myself. Winter camping is the best and no bears to bother us..lol. Channel is awesome! ON viewer.
Thanks Outbound2Explore. Glad you are making the most of the beautiful winter weather. You are so right about the bears! Not a worry in the world other then staying warm!
Thank you very much David. Betty Lou is a little machine out there. I think I might try the dutch oven thing that you sometimes use. Every time I see you making something with it, it always looks awesome.
Thanks, that was fantastic video! Maybe you could do a 2 nighter with some ice fishing some time. Loved the improvised shelter and jacket idea for Betty. Niagara Region, Ontario.
Hi Adam. I would love to do that as well. I have to get out and film some ice fishing. Betty seemed to like the jacket as well. She hardly moved an inch all night!
I like the type of camping that you are filming...I will be getting an Pakraft in 2022, but I do not canoe. This is the 1st vid I've seen of you so I will follow and see what kind of adventures you be taking. Thanks for the fun out in Idaho.
Beautiful Idaho! Getting into pack rafting….very cool. I would love to try that as well. We have some great friends that packrafted with their bikes down the Yukon River to alaska and then biked back to the Yukon! Seems like a very cool sport. Best of luck and hope to see you on the water 💦.
Thank you very much Jay. It definitely seems like those videos are getting a little bit of traction thats for sure. Really do appreciate the support and comments as always Jay. Hope you're staying warm in the city my friend.
Hey Guy and Betty-Lou, I found your video to be very motivating for me to winter camp. I am from Vermont, USA, and have winter camped only once, but am planning to get out often this winter. My life has been adventurous from the time I was a teenager. At 61 years young, I backpacked around Alaska from Anchorage North to Denali, and south to Homer on the coast, had many grizzly encounters fishing for salmon, and got attacked by a nursing moose. Also hiked the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail from Massachusetts North almost to the Canadian border, living in the woods for 2.5 month at 64 years old, but am slowing down a bit now at 73. I have also solo travelled to Costa Rica a few years ago (and got lost in the jungle), and in my 20's lived in the woods in Bern, Switzerland, and travelled throughout Europe covering six countries. I am telling you this not to brag, but to say how much I appreciate living most of my adventures through videos like yours. (However, I do want to go back to Costa Rica to volunteer counting sea turtles and jaguars). But for the present I will continue to canoe, hike and camp in the forests of Vermont. We have a mutual love for the outdoors and the extraordinary wildlife encountered along the way. Keep up the good work! Scottie PS My four children and five grandchildren think that I am looney for living the life I choose (but I certainly have no regrets). I am also sorry to hear about Clifford.
Hi Scottie. You're living life the same way I plan to. I hope when I reach your age Im still able to do half of what you are up to. Very Inspirational, living with no regrets and getting out to do what you love to do! Thanks for sharing part of your story. Lets all hope that Cilfford is back out camping soon!
I was about to leave a reply, when I realized I already left one two years ago. I’m 75 now and living in Vermont at the very top of Putney mountain. I’m going to keep living my dream to the extent I can. I like your attitude, and will continue to follow your paths. Namaste Scottie
Hi from the U.P. Michigan!! Enjoyed the video. Have to do these kind of things vicariously since I am not in the greatest of health. But it does bring back memories of doing this with my friends in the Summer and Winter. (We cheated though, we had tents! lol). Heating hot dogs and cans of ravioli. I do have say this, watching these videos at 1-2-3 in the morning, and you all cooking, you're making me hungry!! lol Thanks for sharing.
Lol......I don't think using a tent is cheating! The U.P. looks beautiful and is definitely on my list of places I would love to explore. We met a family on a canoe trip a few years ago and they were truly some of the nicest most generous people we have ever come across. You'll have to watch some of the other videos on a full stomach! Thanks very much for the comment.
Yes on the scarf - small Alpaca 🦙 neck scarf and my wolf hat is the only thing that keeps my face/head warm winter camping. Keep that backcountry cuisine coming - love it 😍 ONTARIO
Thanks very much Tina. That sounds like a deadly warm combination! Love those fur hats. Lots more to come and thanks for taking the time to post a comment!
Excellent video. I tried sleeping outside with my dog close to my house Friday -19C°. First-time for her (Australia Shepard/ Yellow Lab). She was looking at me WTF. I did the same old down coat but I couldn't keep her in it. It lasted 2 hours. Oh well baby steps. She went into the house and me back to the bag. Happy Family Day from Georgian Bay Southern Ontario.
@@CanoeTheNorth congrats on 1000 subscribers! I am hoping to get there once I am able to start making content again! Windsor is not the greatest area for outdoor adventures lol. Maybe I'll see you in Algonquin this spring. Cheers
Very enjoyable video. Just got a bunch of snow here in Northern Vermont. Nice gear and a great dinner. Been out two weekends. Hard to beat a good winter camp. Thanks for the video. Take care, Al
Thanks very much Al. Looks like you have got a few winter camping videos yourself! Glad you are getting out and enjoying the winter wonderland. Stay warm in beautiful Vermont.
Watching from near Charleston, West Virginia. Having quite the ice storms over the last few days. Lots of people have lost their power. Hope it is back on for them soon !
You could still set-up an enclosed tarp or bivy inside the spruce tree to increase your area warmth and decrease the volume and weight of your sleep system necessary to be towed in your pulk, taxing your energy, increasing your fatigue and reducing your speed.
Thats a fresh morning in Minnesota! Love the hash tag! Im sure you are getting more and more excited for your fishing trip. We are 33 days away from spring.
Hi Tom. Thanks for the compliment on the video and the concern for Betty Lou. I actually lay that smaller reflective foam mat and put an old vest on top of it while I’m setting up camp so she has a warm spot to curl up if she chooses. Unless I tell her to stay though she is generally more interested in sniffing around the snowshoe hare tracks that are all over the place. Thanks again!
You might try a neoprene vest for your dog. I have used them for years on my labs hunting here in Arkansas.They come in all sizes and protect and provide warmth.
Thanks Ernest. Betty Lou does have a nice dog jacket. She absolutely hates wearing anything so we try to only put it on when she really looks like she needs it. Might look up those neoprene coats though. Thanks for the comment Ernest.
Salut. Merci beaucoup pour le gentil commentaire. Nous sommes vraiment heureux que vous trouviez les vidéos agréables. Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous dire bonjour et nous espérons que tous nos amis français vont bien!
Just ran across you here. I am in Texas and just on the out skirts of San Angelo. Its finally on the warming side and the 5 inches of snow melted pretty good today. Been in the single digits the last few nights early mornings. Was -4 for a few mornings straight here at my place without the wind chill. Looked like a fun night and nice set up.
Thanks for the comment Brandon. We have been watching on the news about all the weather you guys have been getting in Texas. I have a hard time picturing snow when I think about Texas. We have been hearing about big power outages so hopefully you're all ok where you are. Thanks again for the comment and hope you and everyone in the lone star are doing alright!
Bonjour. Je viens de m abonner à ta chaine. Continue à proposer des campings d hiver, je les adore. J attends avec impatience ta prochaine aventure. Au revoir
Bonjour Thomas et bienvenue sur la chaîne. C'est toujours agréable d'entendre un nouvel abonné. Nous ne pourrions pas être plus heureux de partager nos voyages avec vous. Merci encore pour le gentil commentaire et nous continuerons à faire du canoë et du camping toute l'année!
I am in Southern Ontario. If my French and German was better I could post in those but it will be English. You should bring a small thermometer with you. Sleeping like that...the way you did it reminds me of Les Stroud in Temagami. He survived one week in -40C weather....the whole week. After I watched him do that...well he is the all time greatest survivalist on film. One nite in the cold is tough enough...let alone one week. When you did this video...were you near Estaire, Alban or around the French River? The hens looked so SWISS CHALET.
Yes Les Stroud is one tough man thats for sure. He has a lot of outdoor knowledge. It would be extremely tough to survive those temperatures for a week and Im sure he did it with basically no equipment. CRAZY!!!! I used to love watching his shows on TV. I'll have to go back and see if I can find that episode. Glad you enjoyed the Swiss Chalet! Happy Family day Mike!
It took nothing for me to subscribe after seeing how affectionate, attentive, and sweet you are to your dog. That put a GIGANTIC smile on my face. UPDATE: when you finished cooking, you were eating and gave the dog nothing, You said you were going to share it. wow. I kept waiting to see if you would feed her on camera. What did you feed her?
Thanks very much for the comment. Betty Lou did get her fair share of that second hen. She probably had more of it then me!!! As well as her regular dinner. She always gets her fair share while out on these trips! Thanks again!
Hi Paul. She seemed to like the jacket. She didn’t move an inch all night. I kept checking on her to make sure she was alright and she was snug as a bug in there. I covered here with a down vest and part of my sleeping bag as well. Seems to work!
Hi Stuart. They tasted incredible as well. I think it probably took around 2 hrs or so. They were almost completely frozen when I put them on though so that definitely slows things down!
Another epic video. Love your content great to watch. I’m definitely getting out this winter for a wild camp. Hopefully we get a bit of snow in the uk this winter. Iv seen that putting your water canteen in the snow will insulate it and stop it freezing. Is there any wild winter camp vids coming this year? Oh scarfs are very cool,in uk everyone has one!
Hey Aron. Thanks so much for the comment. Cool tip on putting the canteen in the snow! There will be lots of winter adventures this year for sure. Hope you have a great winter season!
Hola Rodrigo. Muchas gracias por el comentario. ¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado! ¡Espero que tengas una gran temporada de campamento de invierno llena de aventuras! Agradezco el apoyo.
I use a down jacket in Zora's diy sleeping bag too but I think I'm gonna break down and actually buy her a sleeping bag made for dogs. I have to admit that the one Ruffwear makes is looking good, It's got a sleeve on the bottom to hold any kind of foam sleeping pad which is what sold me.
Thanks for the info. I just checked out their website. I am surprised at how light the sleeping bag is. I was expecting it to be much much heavier. I think I might have to upgrade as well.....they look really nice. Hope you and Zora are staying warm!
First time watching you mate,great vid as I too enjoy winter camping under pine especially in cold weather. Next time lay a whole bunch of pine branches to keep you off snow floor,you will notice a difference. Keep up the great vids…Toony, Calgary 👍
I typically go with a shemagh over a scarf but I will say, if it keeps me warm, I will wear it and damn the haters. Enjoyed the video. I think I will subscribe.
Just watched a short video on Kia Ora. Very cool. Thanks for including that in your message. I didn’t know what it meant before but I do now. Kia Ora my friend!
Watching from Australia and wonder in what part of Canada you are posting footage of your overnight camp. We lived in Canada for a year and experienced an occasion of minus 40. Very very very cold.
Hi Elizabeth. That must have been quite the shock to the system coming from such a hot country! -40 is cold for sure. I’m in Ontario. Hope all is well in Australia 🇦🇺.
Yes it was an amazing experience. My husband family and l lived in BC Rockies. We found the locals thought 32 degrees was very hot. Ha. However when the freezing weather blew in we were the ones shocked. Brrrr.
Hallo. Bedankt voor de vriendelijke woorden. Blij dat je van de video hebt genoten. Is het kampeerverbod gerelateerd aan covid? Als dat zo is, hoop ik dat jullie snel uit kunnen gaan. Al het beste!
Hey man Im thinking about doing some camping in the future , I like your camping style, and can you tell me where did you get that winter clothing and the rest of your equipment, again great video man.
Thanks very much Luis. Where abouts are you located? I’ve acquired outdoor gear from so many different spots it’s hard to remember them all. Sometimes I’ve got some good deals on used items. If there are specific pieces of gear your interested in let me know and I can try and let you know what I’m using and where you can get it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey Luis. So if you are in the U.S. you in good shape. I would start with REI if there is one around you. We have a store in Canada called MEC and they are very similar stores. They will offer a lot of gear I use in that video for sure. Hopefully that helps a little Luis. Let me know if you want any more info!
Hi I have one question for you do you feed your dog because she or he is hungry too I am a pet lover and it break my heart to see people camping with their pet and don't even feed their dogs thank
Hi Geeta. I want to assure you that Betty Lou is very well fed. We always feed her twice a day, plus on camping trips she sometimes gets lucky with leftovers! I believe in some of our other videos we show the dogs being fed (even fresh caught fish)! Thanks for the comment Geeta.
...I wish I would have bought a 4x8 piece of carbon felt when I had the chance. A piece of Styrofoam SM to lie on and the carbon felt to save my spendy clothing and bag from flying campfire embers are about all I need to get. If you have lots of easy wood, make two fires and sleep between them...
Thats a really good idea with the carbon felt. I have been thinking about what to use to be able to sleep closer to the fire as I feel the same as you.....I really don't want 100 holes in my sleeping setup. Thanks for the idea Feldwebel! Also like the 2 fire setup. Sounds really warm!
First time visiting your channel and watching a vlog and i must admit i'm inpressed ! What instantly caught my attention is the plastic bag your using to inflate the sleeping matress. Can u please tell us more about it ? Groetjes vanuit België ! 🇧🇪
Hi Kirsten. Thanks for the nice words about the channel. Glad you are enjoying it so far. As far as that bag is concerned I wish it was something that I had made but it was bought a few years ago from therm a rest. They used to sell a little a little valve that you could install on any plastic bag you wanted to. It does work really well though. In less then a minute the sleeping pad is full. I’m sure it would be easy enough to make one in your own with a small piece of vinyl hose and a fitting on the inside of the garbage bag. Hoop dat dit helpt en bedankt voor het kijken!
Почему палатке не ночевал. В молодости я тоже ночевал без палатки, береги себя. На старости думаю все болезни молодости выйдут, кто за правнуками смотреть должен если не вы? Будьте здоровы. Лайк.
Привет. Большое спасибо за комментарий. Я подумал, что было бы забавно попробовать это на ночь. Хотя я предпочитаю палатку. Теперь у нас есть теплая палатка, которая делает зимний кемпинг таким комфортным. Еще раз спасибо, и вы заботитесь, а также.
Hi Mary. I can definitely appreciate your concern. We love our pups way too much to let them suffer. We are always monitoring them to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible, wether that means stopping to let them swim in the heat of summer or wrapping them in a sleeping bag in the winter. Our dogs health comes before basically everything else. Hope this helps possibly alleviate some concerns.
Hey John. Betty Lou is a outdoor working dog with a double coat. When she’s working hiking through the deep snow she’s panting and hot just like we would be and when she is resting I make sure she’s covered up and always has a warm place to lay down if she chooses. We always try our hardest to make sure every part of the trip is as easy on the dogs as possible. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Fatal....Both of our dogs are fed everyday twice a day and they get their fair share of fresh food on canoe trips and backcountry trips. They are definitely well fed out there! Thanks for watching and commenting.
A "polar vortex" Is a catch phrase the media started to use to make people nervous, and therefore watch more often. It also sounds very global warmingish. The scarf? Who would complain about a scarf, except someone who doesn’t live in the cold? My only complaint is that it looked like a super cheapy polyester "gilry" scarf. Wool is your friend in the cold. Down is wonderful, but wool is better. And please be careful with the dog. If she gets wrestles during the night, ends up half outside her little sleeping bag, you could have a dead dog in the morning. You never know what they can get up to when your asleep. Oh, and the potato? Wrap it well, and put that sucker right into the coals. You’ll end up with a hard, burned outside that acts like a bowl. Cut in half, and smush some butter into it….you won’t be sorry. 🙂 As for the language, I’m from Quebec, so I could write in French, but my family is Irish decent, so you’re stuck with English 😀
Haha....my mom made that scarf and its 100% wool. lol. I won't tell her though. Betty Lou sleeps under my sleeping bag as well and believe me......if she's not comfortable she has no problem letting me know. Her safety always comes first. Cant wait to make another baked potato! Hope all is well in la belle province.
@@CanoeTheNorth really!? Sorry for slagging it then. It just looks almost exactly like one a friend has, but I’m sure in person it looks better than on camera, and half inside your jacket. If it’s wool, it must be a hell of a warm one…….oh, and don’t tell your mom what I said! 😊
I’m really enjoying your videos. Stuck in the house for two years fighting cancer. I go to a bush close to home but no over night trips. Living through your eyes buddy. Thank you. From Ontario
Hey Clifford. I sincerely hope you get though your fight and are able to do what you love again soon. Thank you for posting this comment. It really means a lot. You keep fighting and we will keep making videos. Hope you are better soon my friend!
Te estamos mirando desde Mexico! y nos encantan tus aventuras!!! Amamos a Betty Lou!!!
Thank you so much. Betty Lou is quite the dog. Thanks for watching! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦
Crazy! But fun to watch. I love backpacking in the summer, but don't think I'm quite ready for winter. Although, you made it look fun - it was the look on Lu's face.
I think you might enjoy it more than you think. Appreciate the comment very much.
I remember The Last Guide where he talked about the pine needle “mattress” under the trees was their favorite camp spot. 😊

Great video. I always wondered why more people don’t do this, particularly in a survival situation.
Thanks George. It worked quite well!
Love scarfs... Love your videos while sitting in front of a warm fire. :) West of Ottawa, Ontario.
Thanks so much firefly. Stay warm!!!
Suomi mainittu! Great content. Liking these slow paced winter videos with not too much gear.
Thanks Mika! Hope to have some more of them this winter ❄️
My border collie Toby and I love watching your videos. I also love your whiskey pours, that's my style.

Keenan you are killing it with your adventures you’ve been quite busy and your videos are awesome. I especially like Ashley’s dehydrated meal recipes
Thanks Simone. Ashley does an amazing job with the meals. Makes a world of difference in the backcountry.
Maybe should have tried "Whisky-glazed Cornish Hens"??? lol. Love how Lou like to help carry the firewood.😜
Hahaha I’ll have to keep that in mind for the next trip!!!

Awesome camping,,,,yummy dinner!!!
Thanks again,,,
Sweet betty ,,,,

Thank you Elaine. Glad you enjoyed and appreciate the comment.
I liked how Betty-Lou wasn't a freeloader on this trip. At 00:26 she's putting in and carrying some firewood for you.
Hahaha......ya she was. She is always gathering firewood and Hugo our Newfie is always carrying it away to chew on! It's a constant give and take.
Congratulations on surpassing that 1k Subscriber mark.
Thanks you very much Robert. Appreciate the support.
Great adventures! Montana, USA.
Thanks very much. You live in a very beautiful state!

Good to see you getting out there in the deep cold! Glad Betty-Lou is surviving those temps too. Awesome supper as well, those hens looked delish!
Thank you very much David. Betty Lou is a little machine out there. I think I might try the dutch oven thing that you sometimes use. Every time I see you making something with it, it always looks awesome.
Sure looks relaxing. Thanks for keeping the camera rolling for us
That’s very much Mark. Hope your staying warm out west!
Glad your channel came up on my suggested views. Looking forward to more videos and I will go back and watch some already posted. Enjoyed this one!!
Thanks Woodswalker! Welcome to the channel. I am really glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the support!
Thanks, that was fantastic video! Maybe you could do a 2 nighter with some ice fishing some time. Loved the improvised shelter and jacket idea for Betty. Niagara Region, Ontario.
Hi Adam. I would love to do that as well. I have to get out and film some ice fishing. Betty seemed to like the jacket as well. She hardly moved an inch all night!
Live in MD. New to your channel, I love snow and winter!
Welcome to the channel. Lots of winter camping to come this year.
I like the type of camping that you are filming...I will be getting an Pakraft in 2022, but I do not canoe. This is the 1st vid I've seen of you so I will follow and see what kind of adventures you be taking. Thanks for the fun out in Idaho.
Beautiful Idaho! Getting into pack rafting….very cool. I would love to try that as well. We have some great friends that packrafted with their bikes down the Yukon River to alaska and then biked back to the Yukon! Seems like a very cool sport. Best of luck and hope to see you on the water 💦.
Support from the GTA. Glad to see you get the views you deserve, your winter camping vids are really taking off.
Thank you very much Jay. It definitely seems like those videos are getting a little bit of traction thats for sure. Really do appreciate the support and comments as always Jay. Hope you're staying warm in the city my friend.
Love to see Betty with shoes and exploring with you, cheers^^
Thanks KM.
Hi from Lithuania, i like video, keep doing this 🙂👍
Very cool. Thanks Mantas! Lots more winter camping trips coming.
Enjoyed watching video.
Thanks so much Dave. Glad you enjoyed.
Hey Guy and Betty-Lou, I found your video to be very motivating for me to winter camp. I am from Vermont, USA, and have winter camped only once, but am planning to get out often this winter. My life has been adventurous from the time I was a teenager. At 61 years young, I backpacked around Alaska from Anchorage North to Denali, and south to Homer on the coast, had many grizzly encounters fishing for salmon, and got attacked by a nursing moose. Also hiked the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail from Massachusetts North almost to the Canadian border, living in the woods for 2.5 month at 64 years old, but am slowing down a bit now at 73. I have also solo travelled to Costa Rica a few years ago (and got lost in the jungle), and in my 20's lived in the woods in Bern, Switzerland, and travelled throughout Europe covering six countries. I am telling you this not to brag, but to say how much I appreciate living most of my adventures through videos like yours. (However, I do want to go back to Costa Rica to volunteer counting sea turtles and jaguars). But for the present I will continue to canoe, hike and camp in the forests of Vermont. We have a mutual love for the outdoors and the extraordinary wildlife encountered along the way.
Keep up the good work!
Scottie
PS My four children and five grandchildren think that I am looney for living the life I choose (but I certainly have no regrets). I am also sorry to hear about Clifford.
Hi Scottie. You're living life the same way I plan to. I hope when I reach your age Im still able to do half of what you are up to. Very Inspirational, living with no regrets and getting out to do what you love to do! Thanks for sharing part of your story. Lets all hope that Cilfford is back out camping soon!
I was about to leave a reply, when I realized I already left one two years ago.
I’m 75 now and living in Vermont at the very top of Putney mountain. I’m going to keep living my dream to the extent I can. I like your attitude, and will continue to follow your paths. Namaste Scottie
Hi from the U.P. Michigan!! Enjoyed the video. Have to do these kind of things vicariously since I am not in the greatest of health. But it does bring back memories of doing this with my friends in the Summer and Winter. (We cheated though, we had tents! lol). Heating hot dogs and cans of ravioli. I do have say this, watching these videos at 1-2-3 in the morning, and you all cooking, you're making me hungry!! lol Thanks for sharing.
Lol......I don't think using a tent is cheating! The U.P. looks beautiful and is definitely on my list of places I would love to explore. We met a family on a canoe trip a few years ago and they were truly some of the nicest most generous people we have ever come across. You'll have to watch some of the other videos on a full stomach! Thanks very much for the comment.
Yes on the scarf - small Alpaca 🦙 neck scarf and my wolf hat is the only thing that keeps my face/head warm winter camping. Keep that backcountry cuisine coming - love it 😍 ONTARIO
Thanks very much Tina. That sounds like a deadly warm combination! Love those fur hats. Lots more to come and thanks for taking the time to post a comment!
Excellent video. I tried sleeping outside with my dog close to my house Friday -19C°. First-time for her (Australia Shepard/ Yellow Lab). She was looking at me WTF. I did the same old down coat but I couldn't keep her in it. It lasted 2 hours. Oh well baby steps. She went into the house and me back to the bag. Happy Family Day from Georgian Bay Southern Ontario.

Lol.....She wasn't into the winter camping as much as you are I guess! Thats too funny. Happy family day to you as well Doug.
Those hens made me hungry!! I am from Windsor, Ontario
From Windsor to the west coast! Thanks Wandering eye. Those hens were awesome!
@@CanoeTheNorth congrats on 1000 subscribers! I am hoping to get there once I am able to start making content again! Windsor is not the greatest area for outdoor adventures lol. Maybe I'll see you in Algonquin this spring. Cheers
Watching and staying warm from MB 😀
Thanks Colleen!
Very enjoyable video. Just got a bunch of snow here in Northern Vermont. Nice gear and a great dinner. Been out two weekends. Hard to beat a good winter camp. Thanks for the video. Take care, Al
Thanks very much Al. Looks like you have got a few winter camping videos yourself! Glad you are getting out and enjoying the winter wonderland. Stay warm in beautiful Vermont.
Watching from near Charleston, West Virginia. Having quite the ice storms over the last few days. Lots of people have lost their power. Hope it is back on for them soon !
I hope the power comes back on soon for them as well! Ice storms can be brutal. Stay warm Diana. Thanks for watching and commenting
You could still set-up an enclosed tarp or bivy inside the spruce tree to increase your area warmth and decrease the volume and weight of your sleep system necessary to be towed in your pulk, taxing your energy, increasing your fatigue and reducing your speed.
Good information. Thanks very much!
👍👍..... much enjoyed. The backwoods and Cornish hens looked awesome. Safe travels ! (ON)
Thanks very much D Blackwood! The tasted awesome as well!
This morning in MN -33c. I will need to try some of that whisky. Batteries are my biggest issue in the cold. Fun trip brother. #scarfforthewin
Thats a fresh morning in Minnesota! Love the hash tag! Im sure you are getting more and more excited for your fishing trip. We are 33 days away from spring.
Your dog looks cold, lifting rear paws. Maybe a blanket while you build?? Nice video
Hi Tom. Thanks for the compliment on the video and the concern for Betty Lou. I actually lay that smaller reflective foam mat and put an old vest on top of it while I’m setting up camp so she has a warm spot to curl up if she chooses. Unless I tell her to stay though she is generally more interested in sniffing around the snowshoe hare tracks that are all over the place. Thanks again!
You might try a neoprene vest for your dog. I have used them for years on my labs hunting here in Arkansas.They come in all sizes and protect and provide warmth.
Thanks Ernest. Betty Lou does have a nice dog jacket. She absolutely hates wearing anything so we try to only put it on when she really looks like she needs it. Might look up those neoprene coats though. Thanks for the comment Ernest.
Salut ! Vos vidéos sont super qualitatives et intéressantes mais aussi on voyage grace à elles ! Merci et bonjour de France :)
Salut. Merci beaucoup pour le gentil commentaire. Nous sommes vraiment heureux que vous trouviez les vidéos agréables. Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous dire bonjour et nous espérons que tous nos amis français vont bien!
Great content. Love the dog. I have 2 im in Australia
Thank you. They’re the best dogs aren’t they! 🐶 🇦🇺
Just ran across you here. I am in Texas and just on the out skirts of San Angelo. Its finally on the warming side and the 5 inches of snow melted pretty good today. Been in the single digits the last few nights early mornings. Was -4 for a few mornings straight here at my place without the wind chill. Looked like a fun night and nice set up.
Thanks for the comment Brandon. We have been watching on the news about all the weather you guys have been getting in Texas. I have a hard time picturing snow when I think about Texas. We have been hearing about big power outages so hopefully you're all ok where you are. Thanks again for the comment and hope you and everyone in the lone star are doing alright!
Bonjour. Je viens de m abonner à ta chaine. Continue à proposer des campings d hiver, je les adore.
J attends avec impatience ta prochaine aventure.
Au revoir
Bonjour Thomas et bienvenue sur la chaîne. C'est toujours agréable d'entendre un nouvel abonné. Nous ne pourrions pas être plus heureux de partager nos voyages avec vous. Merci encore pour le gentil commentaire et nous continuerons à faire du canoë et du camping toute l'année!
@@CanoeTheNorth merci. Je te souhaite de la réussite et de l amusement.
A bientot
I am in Southern Ontario. If my French and German was better I could post in those but it will be English. You should bring a small thermometer with you. Sleeping like that...the way you did it reminds me of Les Stroud in Temagami. He survived one week in -40C weather....the whole week. After I watched him do that...well he is the all time greatest survivalist on film. One nite in the cold is tough enough...let alone one week. When you did this video...were you near Estaire, Alban or around the French River? The hens looked so SWISS CHALET.
Yes Les Stroud is one tough man thats for sure. He has a lot of outdoor knowledge. It would be extremely tough to survive those temperatures for a week and Im sure he did it with basically no equipment. CRAZY!!!! I used to love watching his shows on TV. I'll have to go back and see if I can find that episode. Glad you enjoyed the Swiss Chalet! Happy Family day Mike!
@@CanoeTheNorth The episode is called the LOST PILOTS or something like that. I watched it years ago. Happy Family Day.

It took nothing for me to subscribe after seeing how affectionate, attentive, and sweet you are to your dog. That put a GIGANTIC smile on my face. UPDATE: when you finished cooking, you were eating and gave the dog nothing, You said you were going to share it. wow. I kept waiting to see if you would feed her on camera. What did you feed her?
Thanks very much for the comment. Betty Lou did get her fair share of that second hen. She probably had more of it then me!!! As well as her regular dinner. She always gets her fair share while out on these trips! Thanks again!
Dog definitely looks more comfortable in the jacket. Her fur is too thin on its own.
Hi Paul. She seemed to like the jacket. She didn’t move an inch all night. I kept checking on her to make sure she was alright and she was snug as a bug in there. I covered here with a down vest and part of my sleeping bag as well. Seems to work!
@@CanoeTheNorth Get her a coat for during the day.
Thanks Wayne.
UK viewer here 🤓 how long did the hens take to cook like that? Looked incredible 😋
Hi Stuart. They tasted incredible as well. I think it probably took around 2 hrs or so. They were almost completely frozen when I put them on though so that definitely slows things down!
Any ideas you have on content I’m sure will be well done. Your whiskey was probably on the rocks without the rocks lol
Hahah. No need for the rocks 🧊 that’s night! Thanks very much Ian.
Another epic video. Love your content great to watch. I’m definitely getting out this winter for a wild camp. Hopefully we get a bit of snow in the uk this winter. Iv seen that putting your water canteen in the snow will insulate it and stop it freezing. Is there any wild winter camp vids coming this year? Oh scarfs are very cool,in uk everyone has one!
Hey Aron. Thanks so much for the comment. Cool tip on putting the canteen in the snow! There will be lots of winter adventures this year for sure. Hope you have a great winter season!
Precioso vídeo. Estoy deseando la llegada del invierno en España para hacer algo similar. Gracias por compartir tu aventura 👍
Hola Rodrigo. Muchas gracias por el comentario. ¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado! ¡Espero que tengas una gran temporada de campamento de invierno llena de aventuras! Agradezco el apoyo.
I use a down jacket in Zora's diy sleeping bag too but I think I'm gonna break down and actually buy her a sleeping bag made for dogs. I have to admit that the one Ruffwear makes is looking good, It's got a sleeve on the bottom to hold any kind of foam sleeping pad which is what sold me.
Thanks for the info. I just checked out their website. I am surprised at how light the sleeping bag is. I was expecting it to be much much heavier. I think I might have to upgrade as well.....they look really nice. Hope you and Zora are staying warm!
First time watching you mate,great vid as I too enjoy winter camping under pine especially in cold weather. Next time lay a whole bunch of pine branches to keep you off snow floor,you will notice a difference. Keep up the great vids…Toony, Calgary 👍
Thanks for the advice Toony. Ill have to give that a go this winter (which will be here soon). Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Those hens looked fantastic but I still think the rabbit looked better!!! Another great video, enjoyed watching it from Port Hope, Ont.
@@heidiscott9226 OK..........
Hi Gord. Glad you enjoyed the video. The rabbit is going to be a tough one to beat. Maybe I should have started with the hens!
Nice video! Remember, Betty needs water too.
Thanks for the comment Cor. Betty Lou definitely get fresh water out there. She has her own dedicated bowl. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I typically go with a shemagh over a scarf but I will say, if it keeps me warm, I will wear it and damn the haters. Enjoyed the video. I think I will subscribe.
Thanks very much slide no more. Love the truck in your profile pic.
@@CanoeTheNorth Thanks much. I now how it about 80% complete. Only taken me 3 years lol.
Switzerland ! Желаю тебе всего самого хорошего!

Thanks you Peter!
Awesome brother, kia ora from Aotearoa/ New Zealand 🤟😎
Thanks Raphael. New Zealand 🇳🇿. That’s a long way from Canada 🇨🇦. Looks like a cool place to call home. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just watched a short video on Kia Ora. Very cool. Thanks for including that in your message. I didn’t know what it meant before but I do now. Kia Ora my friend!
Very good
Thanks Bikepacking!
Watching from Australia and wonder in what part of Canada you are posting footage of your overnight camp. We lived in Canada for a year and experienced an occasion of minus 40. Very very very cold.
Hi Elizabeth. That must have been quite the shock to the system coming from such a hot country! -40 is cold for sure. I’m in Ontario. Hope all is well in Australia 🇦🇺.
Yes it was an amazing experience. My husband family and l lived in BC Rockies. We found the locals thought 32 degrees was very hot. Ha. However when the freezing weather blew in we were the ones shocked. Brrrr.
Great post bud.... Oshawa
Appreciate it Ace Coast!
Gorgeous! Prachtig landschap. Groeten uit Nederland, waar helaas wild kamperen verboden is...
Hallo. Bedankt voor de vriendelijke woorden. Blij dat je van de video hebt genoten. Is het kampeerverbod gerelateerd aan covid? Als dat zo is, hoop ik dat jullie snel uit kunnen gaan. Al het beste!
@@CanoeTheNorth nope, niet gerelateerd aan C19. Het is altijd verboden, in het hele land.
@@asunr.a.7160 Wauw ... heel andere regels.
Carefull man.
Always Zangkrix. Thanks for the comment.
Hey man Im thinking about doing some camping in the future , I like your camping style, and can you tell me where did you get that winter clothing and the rest of your equipment, again great video man.
Thanks very much Luis. Where abouts are you located? I’ve acquired outdoor gear from so many different spots it’s hard to remember them all. Sometimes I’ve got some good deals on used items. If there are specific pieces of gear your interested in let me know and I can try and let you know what I’m using and where you can get it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm from connecticut .
Hey Luis. So if you are in the U.S. you in good shape. I would start with REI if there is one around you. We have a store in Canada called MEC and they are very similar stores. They will offer a lot of gear I use in that video for sure. Hopefully that helps a little Luis. Let me know if you want any more info!
Merci pour ta vidéo ^^
Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté Ludovic!
@@CanoeTheNorth bravo :-)
Hi I have one question for you do you feed your dog because she or he is hungry too I am a pet lover and it break my heart to see people camping with their pet and don't even feed their dogs thank
Hi Geeta. I want to assure you that Betty Lou is very well fed. We always feed her twice a day, plus on camping trips she sometimes gets lucky with leftovers! I believe in some of our other videos we show the dogs being fed (even fresh caught fish)! Thanks for the comment Geeta.
@@CanoeTheNorth thank you very much please take care of her 😍
@@geetaR6979 Always!!!
Cool..🤙
Thanks very much Gail. Glad you liked it!!!
So funny I thought I was the only person who uses welding gloves while barbecue 🤷🏼♀️
Hahah….they work so well!!!
...I wish I would have bought a 4x8 piece of carbon felt when I had the chance. A piece of Styrofoam SM to lie on and the carbon felt to save my spendy clothing and bag from flying campfire embers are about all I need to get. If you have lots of easy wood, make two fires and sleep between them...
Thats a really good idea with the carbon felt. I have been thinking about what to use to be able to sleep closer to the fire as I feel the same as you.....I really don't want 100 holes in my sleeping setup. Thanks for the idea Feldwebel! Also like the 2 fire setup. Sounds really warm!
Add Scotland to your list of viewers.
Thanks Joanne! Never been there but it certainly looks beautiful!
Is that hen from Cornwall?
Yes it is!
Sweet dog needs a coat and doggie boots.
Thanks Mura.
First time visiting your channel and watching a vlog and i must admit i'm inpressed ! What instantly caught my attention is the plastic bag your using to inflate the sleeping matress. Can u please tell us more about it ? Groetjes vanuit België ! 🇧🇪
Hi Kirsten. Thanks for the nice words about the channel. Glad you are enjoying it so far. As far as that bag is concerned I wish it was something that I had made but it was bought a few years ago from therm a rest. They used to sell a little a little valve that you could install on any plastic bag you wanted to. It does work really well though. In less then a minute the sleeping pad is full. I’m sure it would be easy enough to make one in your own with a small piece of vinyl hose and a fitting on the inside of the garbage bag. Hoop dat dit helpt en bedankt voor het kijken!
MUITO BOM!!! CUIABÁ MT
Muito obrigado. Espero que você fique tranquilo em Cuiabá.
Почему палатке не ночевал. В молодости я тоже ночевал без палатки, береги себя. На старости думаю все болезни молодости выйдут, кто за правнуками смотреть должен если не вы? Будьте здоровы. Лайк.
Привет. Большое спасибо за комментарий. Я подумал, что было бы забавно попробовать это на ночь. Хотя я предпочитаю палатку. Теперь у нас есть теплая палатка, которая делает зимний кемпинг таким комфортным. Еще раз спасибо, и вы заботитесь, а также.
@@CanoeTheNorth спасибо, будьте здоровы
ilike your channel but cannot watch. Cant believe your dog is not suffering.
Hi Mary. I can definitely appreciate your concern. We love our pups way too much to let them suffer. We are always monitoring them to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible, wether that means stopping to let them swim in the heat of summer or wrapping them in a sleeping bag in the winter. Our dogs health comes before basically everything else. Hope this helps possibly alleviate some concerns.
betty-lou must be freezing..
Hey John. Betty Lou is a outdoor working dog with a double coat. When she’s working hiking through the deep snow she’s panting and hot just like we would be and when she is resting I make sure she’s covered up and always has a warm place to lay down if she chooses. We always try our hardest to make sure every part of the trip is as easy on the dogs as possible. Thanks for the comment.
Dog good
She’s a very good dog. She is a lot of fun to have around. Certainly keeps you entertained!
Your dog doesn't eat food?
Hi Fatal....Both of our dogs are fed everyday twice a day and they get their fair share of fresh food on canoe trips and backcountry trips. They are definitely well fed out there! Thanks for watching and commenting.
A "polar vortex" Is a catch phrase the media started to use to make people nervous, and therefore watch more often. It also sounds very global warmingish.
The scarf? Who would complain about a scarf, except someone who doesn’t live in the cold? My only complaint is that it looked like a super cheapy polyester "gilry" scarf. Wool is your friend in the cold. Down is wonderful, but wool is better.
And please be careful with the dog. If she gets wrestles during the night, ends up half outside her little sleeping bag, you could have a dead dog in the morning. You never know what they can get up to when your asleep.
Oh, and the potato? Wrap it well, and put that sucker right into the coals. You’ll end up with a hard, burned outside that acts like a bowl. Cut in half, and smush some butter into it….you won’t be sorry. 🙂
As for the language, I’m from Quebec, so I could write in French, but my family is Irish decent, so you’re stuck with English 😀
Haha....my mom made that scarf and its 100% wool. lol. I won't tell her though. Betty Lou sleeps under my sleeping bag as well and believe me......if she's not comfortable she has no problem letting me know. Her safety always comes first. Cant wait to make another baked potato! Hope all is well in la belle province.
@@CanoeTheNorth really!? Sorry for slagging it then. It just looks almost exactly like one a friend has, but I’m sure in person it looks better than on camera, and half inside your jacket. If it’s wool, it must be a hell of a warm one…….oh, and don’t tell your mom what I said! 😊
