This was a complete surprise! And it is from 8 years ago…..you look so young!! I enjoyed the video. It was so far off from the one I watched about you and your Dad building the cabin. Which is spectacular. Looking forward to more of that incredible build. Thank you for sharing my friend and god bless.
I would love to live in Canada. We have very little untouched nature here in Danmark, and its very hard to walk just a few kilometers without seeing houses or people. Great video btw. Peace out.
Totally awesome, fantastic footage, motivated me to keep up with my hiking here in south Australia. Sadly no snow here but awesome sunny days even warm, considering we’re in mid winter, love back to nature during this covid episode, loved your snow footage, glad to have come across your channel, very professional, well done from Aussie daz
I appreciated the pop up Log Cabin that you built. So I started watching more videos of you and your father and it was very refreshing. Then I saw your lovely wife. Then I found out you was a Christian and I said,"that's my brother.... I have to subscribe to him" And then I watched your very first video and I just have one question. "How do you know When you walk through the forest how to come back out of it without getting lost? I didn't see you putting markers down or anyting". I love the outdoors. Don't like too much snow, but I appreciate y'alls story, testimony, and how the Lord has moved y'all in His favor. I'm going to continue to like👍🏽 I'm going to tell others because you're my brother and you need support from your brothers and sisters. I'm in New York, and I just want to say thanks!😇🙌🏽🙏🏽
I always have wanted to live off the grid like this in a natural, undisturbed, setting, without the typical cell towers, nuclear plants, landfills, and other environmental disturbances. Your videos are some of the best i have seen for learning and education for survival and living in wilderness! If I were a teacher, I would teach this rather than most of the nonsense taught in public schools nowadays, with kids all on their phones all day long, not learning anything. Great Job!
Great video, really liked you having the music mixed in, good job man, and the video footage of the snow, trees and sky brought it all together. Thank You!
Reminds me of making Sasafras tea when I was a kid with the roots from the knocked down trees from contractors when they built our house in Bucks County Pa. Thanks for the video. Peace
My grandmother was Mi'kMaq... one time she took me berry picking in St Georges on the west coast of Newfoundland. She made wintergreen tea,,, It was delicious...
Very interesting. Nice to learn about yellow Birch. Thanks for the educations. I watch a channel Bush Radical he is in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I am constantly telling my kids about the gales off of Superior and I'm sure he spends hours trying to get rid of them. My kids are like we don't hear a thing Mom.😂
Hi I am from Red Lake, Ontario and used to strap a pack on and go exploring in the bush and have a fire and cook stuff. What a great life that was. Where are you doing this stuff? Your videos are very well made. Love your skidoo camp shack...
Sounds and looks like your someplace in Ontario.First time I've seen your videos. You and your dad have done a good job on the cabin.Ill have to check out for more of your videos.This is Moe from Ontario.Im a female Moe, not a male.So outsider good job.Love the woods.
Yes please. More hiking videos would be amazing. This was waiting on me to watch at a time when I knew I would need to be swept away. I don't know how but somehow you managed to select the most amazing music that could be possibly be selected. Subbed, liked, and faved!
***** From the response I've gotten on this video I think I will have to put out more videos like this for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm also glad you liked the music because I actually did put a fair amount of thought into what kind of music I'd be using (if any) for this video. Happy New Year!
You deserve more views. Also I may be a city guy, cause I couldn't help but bring a poncho a make a shelter out of it first thing. Then fire, branches, tea, whatever. But first, shelter.
Hey Outsider - your videos really are great. You've got a sub. I'm in Ottawa about to be in Sudbury. Where about are you in Canada. That area to me looks very similar (lol not all look the same) I feel I've been there... How's the new cabin coming? Dennis.
Question regarding your attire: Your clothing in all of the videos I have watched so far (LCOAB 1-7, Snowshoes, Cabin under$500 etc.) you are wearing what many would call "very normal clothes". Jeans, plaid shirts, cotton/denim jackets work boots to name them. Is there a reason you are wearing this style of clothing? I could see it aligning with your "...on a budget" methodology but wonder if you would benefit from Goretex (during the episode of LCOAB where you are wet and very cold for example) and maybe a light weight lined hiking pant during some of your winter excursions. Good on you for being tough enough to handle the weathering, especially because I am often finding myself defending the clothing I wear to people (they will say I am somehow "weaker" than they are because I dress warm in cold weather to which I will say that I live in a world that allows me to clothe ourselves in such a way that no one should need to feel terribly uncomfortable in their given environment) but the question remains. Is there a principal or reason for your choices in clothing?
+Dane Greenwell Good question. The reason why I dress the way I do is because it's what I feel comfortable in. You're right that I definitely have an "...on a budget" mentality. I don't believe in purchasing all the "necessary" gear that other people might spend lots of money on. Now, could I sometimes benefit from upgrading my outdoor clothing? I'm sure I could. But I just don't feel at the moment that it would be worth it for me. It seems like you have also found what you're comfortable in, which is good. You shouldn't need to defend what you wear. As long as it works for you, go for it!
nice video! question, isn't wrong the use of jeans in a very wet environment? Jeans soak up water and dry very slow, in fact, seems your legs are wet almost till your knee, wouldn't that lead to hypothermia?
I remember one time, my dad and I where out for a hike. We where about to fill up our water bottles out of this one spring we found. We had to stop immediately when we saw these long thin hair like things poking up from the sand at the mouth of the spring. Pretty sure they where some sort of worm, possible a parasite? Kind of gross
While you were eating, you looked like you heard something. my first thought was bears that may have picked up the scent. were you concerned.? good vid.
Buckl There aren't many bears in that area, but if there are, they were hibernating. Now wolves and coyotes on the other hand... lol I actually wasn't too concerned. There are many interesting noises in the bush and my ears are always perked up, but more out of interest than anything. I never know when I'll see a really cool animal passing through.
I live in south georgia and i am looking to build a cabin on some property we have. All we really have on are property are long leaf pines and i was wondering if it is possible to debark and season these pine trees and use them to build a cabin. And congrats on 10k subscribers
mason cook you can use any tree to make a log cabin, some are better than others (cedar is great for it's insect and rot resistance) but I took a class in Washington state on log cabin building and they taught that you use what you have and any tree species will work.
Is that a trick question? It takes a season to season. So cut your firewood in summer, (after the harvest) and it will be ready for winter, (if you store it under cover). (Though its better if you have the space to season it until it has a moisture content of 20% or lower.)
Great Video Sir. I enjoyed it a lot. We have property in Halliburton Ontario. Its close to Huntsville. Was this taken in Ontario as the woods and trees look very similar.
are you using a shotgun mic for camcorders, or was that from the cam itself? i figured that it would have been a shotgun mic cuz the sound was definitely directional.
john randall I was actually just using the cam mike. But I know what you mean, the sound was really good in this video. There wasn't a ton of wind that day, and I usually set up in spots that were sheltered. This is probably what made it sound so 'focused'.
i would love to take a hike with you. something over night where I would have to build a shelter/fire/get food....you could allow me to experience the difficulty yet advise me the whole time.....
cool yeah u can do that kind of videos more often ;) please let me know if u can do that tea with white birch cose i dont have yellow birch in france ... C U bye!!
GERALD FROMTHEBUSH Thanks Gerald. Unfortunately White Birch doesn't contain oil of wintergreen, so you can only make tea out of Yellow Birch & Black Birch trees.
GERALD FROMTHEBUSH Salut Gérald, en France tu peux utiliser des aiguilles de pin pour la tisane, et si tu as mal au crâne le soir après la rando, tu prends de l'écorce de saule, elle contient naturellement du paracétamol ! ;-)
Grace & Peace John 3:16 In my country wearing Blue jeans (cotton) in to the wilderness is punishable by death. I am allergic to eggs and wood; How can i survive there? Can you please make a survival video for extreme desert conditions with only camel milk and scorpions.
The most adaptable people are!! as we lefties live in a right handed world. Here in Ireland even the milk cartons are angled for use by the right hand😠 PS we call the “white birch” silver birch here and it grows well here in our boggy land.. love your shows, where in Canada are you from?
Good videos. You should nonetheless preach the gospel in all of them. You reach a lot of people as your subscribers are more than forty thousand. Preach repentance and remission of sins in the name of Christ my brother in the Lord. Thank you for the videos. I subscribed to you today.
You are not there so you don’t really know. I saw he had gloves with him so maybe he is just warm. And he is not complaining so don’t bother judging him.
I really respect your down to earth personality. Thanks for always sharing your adventures.
+Cory Boyd Thanks Cory! Much appreciated. I don't have any plans t o stop filming anytime soon.
This was a complete surprise! And it is from 8 years ago…..you look so young!! I enjoyed the video. It was so far off from the one I watched about you and your Dad building the cabin.

your videos are educational AND relaxing to watch!
+Wowee Boop Thank you!
初めまして、私は北海道に住んでいます日本人です。素晴らしいログハウスの基礎から完成までの、動画に感動しました。これからも頑張ってくださいね。
Does it get any better than this? Enjoying nature in all its splendor. God is good. Really enjoyed the video.
Tim Graham Thanks Tim! I agree with you wholeheartedly.
It looks so peaceful, I'm reminded of why I love your channel. Have a good day. Beautiful scenery.

Love your videos. Great content, plus the chill vibe makes for great viewing before bed

Great Job!
Sounds like waterfall or rapids but it's just on a very steep hill. A great hike despite the snow falling on you.
Eggs and a hot drink. Perfect.
Great video, really liked you having the music mixed in, good job man, and the video footage of the snow, trees and sky brought it all together. Thank You!
Thats awesome, I would love to see more hikes like this
Yes, film more hikes, please.
This really was excellent... Please do make more!
I would love to see more videos too! I miss the Sierra mountains am now in San Antonio. Please send more! God bless!
Caryl Cook Thanks Caryl! God bless.
From that water emerging from the rocks it looks like there might be caves in the area.
I really love this video please make videos like this for all your hikes
Reminds me of making Sasafras tea when I was a kid with the roots from the knocked down trees from contractors when they built our house in Bucks County Pa.

Such a beautiful piece of land.
Hi
I am from Red Lake, Ontario and used to strap a pack on and go exploring in the bush and have a fire and cook stuff.
What a great life that was. Where are you doing this stuff?
Your videos are very well made. Love your skidoo camp shack...
It's really cool and brave life. I like your birch tea and egg a lot, look delicious! Wait to see more video from you ^-^
Giang Le Thanks Giang!
I'm glad. Hope to see you build your cabin.
What a relaxing video. Loved it.

Thank you for sharing.
Love the hike vids.
just came across your channel.how refreshing to find someone,not reliant on expensive gear.i'm in.best wishes,john.
+john collett Thanks John! Glad we share the same sentiment.
Yes please. More hiking videos would be amazing. This was waiting on me to watch at a time when I knew I would need to be swept away. I don't know how but somehow you managed to select the most amazing music that could be possibly be selected. Subbed, liked, and faved!

Love the video and tips! Keep'em Coming!
Thanks for the birch lesson!
Liked your video. Simple enjoyment and some great views.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Very cool video. Looks like the perfect spot to be in the woods.
NTycingProductions Thanks!
Very cool. I learned some stuff I didn’t know before.
Thank you.
You deserve more views.
Also I may be a city guy, cause I couldn't help but bring a poncho a make a shelter out of it first thing. Then fire, branches, tea, whatever. But first, shelter.
Thank you for trip...i did feel like i was there with you.... :)
Lovely hike....eosh l hsd had dome tea though!! ;) Thanks for sharing this with us !
Wow . . that's my dream kitchen ♥️
I'd really love to know the resources you reccomend to learn to identify trees. I'm very interested in learning and teaching my children. Thanks
Hey Outsider - your videos really are great. You've got a sub.
I'm in Ottawa about to be in Sudbury. Where about are you in Canada. That area to me looks very similar (lol not all look the same)
I feel I've been there...
How's the new cabin coming?
Dennis.
How peaceful. The good life!
Question! Is the white birch the same tree that we call the Silver Birch here in the UK? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Say Heah, Live and learn, I didn't know that. Thanx for sharing
I see that the little frame over the stove turned into a couple of branches instead. Was that because your egg pan wouldn't fit?
nice video! question, isn't wrong the use of jeans in a very wet environment? Jeans soak up water and dry very slow, in fact, seems your legs are wet almost till your knee, wouldn't that lead to hypothermia?
Really nice video. Music was well chosen also.
Gaidal Cain Thanks Gaidal!

Awesome vid, if you did have a tarp it would has been great, so the snow didn't pund your face and head .....
Greetings from Chile

How do you find your way back ?
And also if i cut down these pine trees now about how long do you think it will take to season?
Is that a trick question? It takes a season to season. So cut your firewood in summer, (after the harvest) and it will be ready for winter, (if you store it under cover). (Though its better if you have the space to season it until it has a moisture content of 20% or lower.)
Great video! that looks like a great spot. Where are you from?
+Adventure Time Outdoors I think he is from somewhere in Quebec, since most of the stuff I've seen him use also have descriptions in French.
+Kerem Ozkan cool another local guy
Northern Ontario I believe. Always frustrating to find out where these bush guys are; not like someone is going to stalk them!
Bro where did you get that awesome little camp stove??
I just found this channel, but will give a sub. good content
I would love to see a video of you showing us to make a primitive weapon (like a bow and arrows) out of a knife.
Great Video Sir. I enjoyed it a lot. We have property in Halliburton Ontario. Its close to Huntsville. Was this taken in Ontario as the woods and trees look very similar.
Carl Caves Good eye! This episode was shot in Ontario.
yellow birch bark makes better tinder than the others.
Do you carry a tarp or tent in your backpack for emergency uses such as being caught in a huge snow storm?
Good Video. why did you get rid of the wire pot holder?
John Godwin Thanks John. The reason why I got rid of the pot holder was because I needed the mug closer to the flame.
that's kind of outdoor activity I normally do safe and simple
We see your axe in the video many times. Did you actually swing it or did I missed that part? LOl just sayin
Hope to see more videos from you :)
lewiskoey Thanks Lewiskoey! More are on the way, just as soon as I get the opportunity.
Yes please, more videos.
Scott Smith Will do!
Tut tut ! You seemed to put your coat on the rock inside down.
Are you in New Brunswick? I think I might have nailed your accent and surroundings. I could be totally wrong tho. I'm in Halifax
With the wind blowing the fire why did you not put your cup handle on the other side
Nice! What was the song? Reminds me of the band Explosions in the Sky.
God bless.
Chosen Two Thanks! The song is called "Calm" by 'Silent Partner'. God bless.
Hahaha. Hurt the tree by cutting off twigs 😂
Liked, shared and commented
Good vid, pls make more.
bdalsager Thanks! I've gotten a pretty good response on this one, so I think I will have to make more of these in the future.
More hikes thank you

You should do a video on how u made ur stove my brother made me one like that I think their called pennie stoves correct me if im wrong
Wipe a little oil in you egg pan if your going just for the day and eggs will not stick
i would love to take a hike with you. something over night where I would have to build a shelter/fire/get food....you could allow me to experience the difficulty yet advise me the whole time.....
That is some delicious hardcore landscape nature p 0 r n. Thank you.
cool yeah u can do that kind of videos more often ;) please let me know if u can do that tea with white birch cose i dont have yellow birch in france ... C U bye!!

Can you please make a survival video for extreme desert conditions with only camel milk and scorpions.
are you left handed ?
Yes I am as a matter of fact.

jeans, no gloves, hows this survival? wouldn't last 3 hours without getting very uncomfortable
it doesn't look that cold, but I am disappointed in him letting his hair get wet by snow.
You are not there so you don’t really know. I saw he had gloves with him so maybe he is just warm. And he is not complaining so don’t bother judging him.
His ears are getting more red as the video continues. He needed a hat.
