    Enjoy the new video, and welcome to all the new subscribers! I'm glad to finally release this one. I've been waiting for a more fitting time of year to post it since most places in April (when I filmed this) are well into spring. Feel free to leave some feedback, and don't forget to like and share if you enjoyed. It helps make these videos possible.
    Thanks for watching,

    That's a great premise for a video. More than that, it IS a great video. When the fishing didn't work out at first, I thought that would be it. I like how it turned out. That made for a good build up and a rewarding ending like a short story. Seemed like long coat weather. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful and enjoyable! When I see a camper starts wrapping up at the end, I always feel sad.
    Well the word "sad" is appropriate or not, I'm not sure, but surely of that sort. Kind of "end" may
    be the cause of the feeling, I guess. Thanks for nice video.

    Great content Nicholas. Man that looks like some great Canadian country. I like your old school snowshoes. I had a pair of "Bearpaws'" I used when I was working oil exploration in the 70's, early 80's. They were laying in the bed of my truck when I went into my motel room one morning, and they seem to have walked off in the short time I was gone. Damn I hate a thief!!🤠 Never replaced them with the traditional rawhide style. Anyway, seeing yours reminded me of them. I hope all is well with you and yours. Take it easy Cowboy. Roger

Yeah, they need a little lovin' from time to time so they they don't start cracking and, well---all the webbing ripping off. 😉 That had to pretty much ruin your day. I've been using Tubbs snowshoes for several years now. They still work, no point in replacing them because they're old. I'm old to, and ain't ready to be replaced yet either.🤠 Take it easy.

    Cool video, but how I prepared fish was like this. Catfish pike ,bass, I gutted, then soaked them in a salted brine along with maple wood over night. Then build fire, hung the fish by the gills, placed waterlogged maple over the coals for a rich deep maple smoke then placed the barrel of fish over smoke fire, a hot smoke is best this way for this type of fish, but a cold smoke is best for eel and white fish, will explain that one if interested, after a few hors of the hot smoke , remove steel drum from fire, let cool and I promis you will be addicted to this recipe, just like all my friends and neighbours were.

      Thanks! Smokey paprika, normal paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, chilli powder, and lots of cumin. Too many ingredients to bother overlaying on the video itself so I just say it's a homemade spice blend, which I guess it is since I have been making it for years 😆 It's best on meat like pork and chicken

      I was fed up with having wet pants in winter and can't stand how weak synthetic snow pants are, so these are a pair of custom pants I made. They are originally 100% duck canvas pants, but I double tin clothed them using a recipe made by The Lone Woodman on UA-cam. They work great so, but unfortunately I think the canvas was a little rotten when I got the pants (they were used), and I ripped the crotch out twice now 😆
