Ben..You're suffering needlessly. You're a good looking young man and I think if you were to get a haircut, turn your underwear inside out every few days and trim your toenails you could yoke up a nice young lady with a stix & brix house with central heat and a flush toilet.
This has actually had me laughing my ass off. Let it be known that I have a beautiful girlfriend with an apartment in the city with all the amenities. This “suffering” is my getaway lol. As for the hair, underwear and toenails - no comment
@@benbeauchamp16 Ben...If you have a beautiful girlfriend with an all amenities apartment in the city and you feel the need to getaway and spend 4 days in the woods sleeping on pine needles and eating roots and berries you might want to schedule a cat scan...lol..Great video btw..
You are awesome!!! I loved this video. btw, I came from watching Tosh Self-propelled's last video. Looks like yall had a lot of fun. Try to ignore the rude posts. Some people have never grown up....such a shame. Hope your channel grows, Ben. I love how you share with everyone how much you love camping.
Just in from a 3 days in, 5 day stay, 3 days out hiking excursion into the northern Albertan wilderness as warm as - 38 C in the afternoons .... about 130 L of gear between our two packs, tarps but no tents ( we rebuild/repair a bugout we erected 3 summers ago - and improved on since - under a spacious rock ledge on the edge of the lake we're familiar with where there's plenty of dead growth near by for building and burning and we go in prepared to stay long if the lakes yielding fish ... and it was Hard to come back home but adult responsibilities etc Keep doing what you're doing - there's more adventure in the woods than out as my traveling buddy says
Wow that sounds like a dream excursion! Only someone in Northern Alberta can get away with “as warm as” when talking about -38C hahaha. Not sure if this is near where you were but we’ve got some family friends with a fishing camp on Lesser Slave Lake, I had the pleasure of spending a couple days out there when I was a kid and got into some BIG walleye. Alberta is definitely a place I’d love to explore some more, thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by the channel!
@@benbeauchamp16 I always look for hints of your Grandma and Grandpa in you and I see them peeking through as I watch your videos. Keep up the great work……Bob
Is the wood stove drawing air from inside of the tent only? or is there a draw from roof somewhere? You said the snow had sealed the bottom of the tent and the wood stove was going all night. Great camera work again....the eats looked good too!!!
There is a vent at the top that lets air in but keeps rain/snow out. It’s very much a beginner setup, even with the snow sealing the bottom it only stayed warm in there for 2-3 hours max if you don’t put a log on every 1 hour or so. I did say the stove was going all night but I should’ve said it kept the edge off all night. I think the next time I bring it out I’ll do a whole breakdown of the hot tent setup and what I like (or don’t like) about it. Thank you again for watching, can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the feedback.
@@benbeauchamp16 - seeing you pulling the toboggan reminded me of my short stint in the Infantry.....sleeping outside in the winter was one of my reasons for thinking....well...this is not as romantic as I thought it would be....shit.
@@ZippeteeZapper Hahaha the one moment at the end of the day when all the work is done and you get to sit and eat a meal... that’s the only romantic part about it

Good one
Looks very cozy in there, glad to see you met Terry the Tadpole
You know him??

Right on!
Idk where you're at w your winter camping gear now... but you can get ice fishing shoulder harnesses for pulling sleds and it makes it WAY easier.
Nice video Ben!
Awesome video! Winter camping is definitely on my list, just gotta save up for the gear haha
It’s so fun! Thanks for stopping by
That was fun.. food looked great.. awesome job!
world class meal
it’s really the meat and potatoes
Great job, cool video. Looking forward to what comes next. Holmen.
Thank you! :)
Always love the wide shots to give scale to where you are! Great video as usual!
Love you homie!! One day I’ll get my hands on a drone👀
Nice video! Looks like the hot tent was a good investment
Thanks!! I’m pretty happy with it so far
Really enjoyed watching Ben. Always interesting.
Thanks Robert! It’s so cool to me that you watch these videos

I’d say more from his Grandma. I need to hear a few “Jesus Christ’s” during the tent setup to see some Grandpa in him! 😂
@@trevorbeauchamp9056 Unfortunately the Larry moments aren’t age appropriate and have to be cut out of the video
Nice video bro thanks. Your the best
Hey thank you that means a lot bro
great video
The problems/sagging with your tent pitch could probably be solved by simply raising up the center pole a bit
Happy birthday to your mom
Keep my mom’s name out of your mouth
but thank you for watching
Sorry bro I didn’t mean anything
@@pablopersad1604 I know I was just joking, she appreciates your birthday wishes

Awesome video- be safe - new friend here
Thanks Dave! Pleasure to connect with you :)
Looks like your floor dried out day 2?
Yeah once the snow melted it dried up pretty nicely, on the last day it was dry enough to sit on
Is it still solo camping if you have a conversation with a tadpole?
Tom Hanks had a volleyball, let me have my tadpole.
Solid point! That worked out for Tom so keep doing what you’re doing! 😂
Big props for hauling that 18lb beast out😂. Off topic but I have those same rice cakes they’re so good lmao
Hahaha thank you bro. I honestly thought I was gonna get roasted for bringing rice cakes, they’re so fire though
🤝🏻💪🏻🌲😀👍🏻
There’s something wrong with you 😵💫
I’m deathly allergic to living a boring life
Sleeping like that in a tent its no way to live
Never felt more alive
@@benbeauchamp16 more blankets would help just a thought
