Good on ya for getting out there in the cold & showing us how it is done! Really nice video! Congratulations to the winner & your channel growth. 👏 You reminded me that I'm overdue for a camp out. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jonny, it was fun to push myself a bit farther than I normally would. Very peaceful and quiet out this time of year. Totally silent out there, a good time to go. Thanks for watching!!
Great solo trip. Looked like you weathered the cold just fine. The boiled water trick I use every time. It really works great. Stays warm all night typically. Congrats to Saskatchewanfisher. Congrats on your milestone. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks so much! So quiet and peaceful to do the solo trips. A bit lonely but really relaxing. I had a super good time doing this. Can't wait to push the sleep system colder next year!
It was a decent dump of snow. We probably got another inch or two by the time I'd packed out. Wish it didn't snow that much - I wanted to go off into the crown land the next morning and bring home some more firewood, but that wasn't in the cards.
I wore a zillion layers and was in a 0f bag, but still was a tad nervous when you push the gear. It all worked out and now I know that next winter I can push it even colder... 🤣👍😝
I'm pretty happy with the tent so far. It's a tight squeeze but was happy with how it held up. It did a good job with the snowfall too. Thanks for watching brother!!
Great video Dan! Looks like you had a fun overnight campout :):) Glad you didn't freeze out there in -9°! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! Congrats to Saskatchewan Fisher!!! 🥳
Thanks Thea - I'm glad I didn't freeze either. I had the truck close by if I was too cold, but honestly never woke up too uncomfortable. Appreciate the ongoing support, means alot to me!
Thanks so much!!! It's been fun pushing myself a bit outside my comfort zone.. I had a great trip though! Wish I had more time there. It was a quick one. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Thanks Joe! I'm hoping we get more consistent weather. We've been through alot of snow and melt cycles. I'd love to see the snow in the rear-view mirror soon. Looking forward to your next review.. Missed you last week!
Dan YOU ARE AMAZING!!! No way could I camp ⛺️ tent style in -6 let alone colder. Probably in my younger days. Sounds like you laid down some great insulation and had some great layers I really like your tent, Congratulations to the Winner and yo You on reaching 500 🎉
Thanks my friend, I really wanted to push this sleep system to see how cold I could go. I would have likely been ok without the fleece liner and all the clothes layers but good to know I can go colder with what I used.
It was a HUGE dump. By the time I finished packing up, there was easily another inch of snow. Good news is we haven't had any in a week or so. Fingers crossed we're almost done with the snow. We've had a lot of melt lately. Glad you enjoyed watching. Hope you consider subscribing so we can keep in touch!
Thanks Bryan - very much winter, but the calendar says it's spring. Hoping we get some. More consistent weather so we can march forward into real spring! Hope you're having an awesome week buddy!!
I'm jealous - that's like average summer weather for us. Can't wait to get out with the whole family! It needs to be a bit nicer (at least til the snow is melted) to bring out the wife and boys.
Thanks Mark, I sealed up the lid super tight. Someone suggested the idea of putting it in a wool sock though to stop direct skin contact and prevent likelihood of burns. I put it in the main sleeping bag then I slept inside the fleece bag though too so I wasn't in direct contact at all. Glad I stayed out in the cold so you didn't have to lol. This was definitely a fun trip though. Probably one of my top 5 camping trips for sure. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Mine were pretty cold the next morning when I had to dig the tent pegs out of the snow. It was fun to push myself out of my comfort zone. Turned out well - so peaceful out there this time of year.
Thanks Tracy - definitely was a lot of snow. Hope we're winding that up soon. It's been a long winter. I honestly didnt expect to see that much snow. Where I went was about two hours north of home. Here at home in the city, not nearly that much snow around. It was a bit shocking. I didn't think I'd have to dig out a spot.
It was a fun time to go - so quiet out there. I didn't expect that much snow though. Was fun to test myself, had a great night out there in reality. Appreciate you watching!! Hope you're having a good week!
Looks like it was a nice mellow overnight trip. Something kinda nice about an evening of solitude every once and a while. I really like that tent set up. Congrats once again on the contest and to the winner. Regards Mark
Hey Mark, I'm pretty happy with the tent. It did pretty good. It will be a good back packing tent I think. It doesn't weigh much or take up a lot of space. It was such a peaceful evening. Really not a lot of road traffic there this time of the year so it was pretty quiet. Hope you and your #Snacksquad are doing well brother!
Great video Mr.DC! You will be sweating but good tonight! Congratulations on the growth of the channel and to the winner! Hope your week is blessed my friend! Cheers, Jerbs 👍🏼🇨🇦🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
Nice one. Good for you getting out there and going solo. The MRE sounded decent. Didn’t seem too brutal. You looked comfortable vs freezing. Congrats to the winner
To be honest, it wasn't bad in the tent. The morning wasn't great lol. I did not expect that much snow! We easily got another inch or more while I was cleaning up. It was a pretty good dump of snow. The spot was about two hours north of home. Here at home in Edmonton - not nearly that much snow is around.
Dang... 80f is like summer weather here.... It's been a long winter for sure. Hoping we get some. More consistent weather soon. Appreciate you watching!
Good for Sask Fisher - congrats! Dan I'm not a Ribstone Creek fan myself and I even drove thought Edgerton yesterday . Would like to support an Alberta brewery but I'm just not a fan. Those nights in an unheated tent during winter are normally not the best - and not much worse that sleeping in a heated tent - bake then freeze and repeat. Thanks for taking us along, enjoyed.
I haven't been to the brewery yet, but I want to stop in there someday. Thanks for watching. I go out in the cold so you don't have to lol. It was a fun trip in all seriousness! So, so quiet out this time. Of year.
Hey Joe, I lived and posted the video lol. So didn't freeze to death. I threw alot at it with a good sleeping bag, liner and lots of clothes. Didn't really get cold at all. The snow was WAY deeper than I thought. Here in Edmonton most of the snow had melted but there, two hours north there was a couple feet of snow there (in a campground). Crazy!! Thanks for sharing it on your page by the way!
Really happy to hear that you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by and watching. Hope to see you back again. I post videos each Thursday! I do alot of outdoor adventure videos but also gear or outdoor food reviews. Hope to see you back!
It's a decent tent. Not a ton of room but a good backpacking tent for sure. Seems pretty resilient and did an OK Job retaining some heat. Appreciate your support. It's practically frlired up Friday, I blinked and it's almost the weekend! See you next time!
Yah, we're about a month away from much greener times. Unfortunately, around these parts we can get snow from September to June. It doesn't last the whole time but you're almost never totally free of it. Glad you liked the reference! Haha, see you next time!!
What a wonderful winter camping adventure. Great job on creating the fire! Great tips about putting hot water on nalgene bottle and putting it in the sleeping bag to keep you warm. My co-hikers had been doing that too.. I haven't done it (yet) as my sleeping bag is really warm. Regarding condensation of tent, I always have that on my tent too.. even when I thought I had a good tent :-) Thanks for taking us along and congratulations to the winner :-) Sending my support to keep you channel growing.
Someone gave me a suggestion to add to the bottle - they said to out the bottle into an extra wool sock to avoid burns if the bottle was too hot. That's something to be mindful of! Thank you for the support - see you next time!!
Wooohooo! Congratulations to the winner!!! Is that tent a canadian 4 season tent or a 3 season cause no one knows winter like us 🇨🇦. Great video!!! Step 2 is always THE most important 🍺
Step two was definitely a reward after the shoveling lol. The tent seemed strong, even with an inch or so of snow on it. Pretty dandy lightweight rig.. I'm impressed so far by it!
I threw everything at it - probably didn't need the fleece blanket liner and all the layers of clothes. I think next winter I'll push it a bit colder to see how low I can go. I really wanted to benchmark how this sleep system performs. Overall, I am happy with how it turned out.
Really happy to hear that you enjoyed it! It was fun to push myself out of my comfort zone camping in these conditions. It was really peaceful. I was away from traffic and houses and it was dead quiet and so peaceful there. See you next time!!
Yah, I might be in trouble if I did a few back to back nights. Might be hard to control the dampness. I do think there was more ventilation where I had my feet. So next time I'll flip around to see if I can vent the condensation better. I was totally warm enough though. Dampness didn't get into the insulation.
Lmao, gotta sprinkle in a bit of insanity. I love pushing myself to do things that 99% of other people would never do. It's fun to test myself bit by bit. The comfy bed at home felt really nice the next day though... Haha!!
Yayy nice video...congrats to the winner!! That tent is amazing..anything that can keep u warm in that cold is awesome!! But it looks kinda fun..u survived that cold woww!! :))
It did pretty good to be honest. It held up well even covered in snow. It was fun, totally silent out there. The area is a bit off the beaten path so no road noise. It was a fun trip!
Awesome video I'm sorry I'm late watching. Congratulations to the winner too. Your fire and dinner looked really nice and you have a really good set up for these cold nights. The fresh snow looked beautiful and I hear ya on the condensation and having to dry ever out once you get home. Great tip too. You just do an outstanding job 👍
Thanks Nicole, I should have done a better dinner lol - but thought that the MRE would go with the military style tent. I really wanted to test the sleep system to benchmark how well it would do in the cold. I didn't expect that much snow though! Thanks for watching Nicole! Really appreciate our friendship!
I really liked this one Dan! That knife by Joe Mre is pretty awesome, especially with the flint attached to it. Sometimes what I do to help start the fire is I scratch the flint a bit with the knife and let the powder accumulate on a piece of bark. When a spark hits the powder it creates a bigger flame to put the chipped wood on. The tent looked like it did the job for the night! Is there anything you can do for the moisture? Congrats Saskatchewan Fisher for the win and great tip of the week!
Good tip on the scratching of the flint. Definitely that would help. I'll have to keep that in mind next time. Wasn't at it too long, but its a short rod and a long knife so I had a difficult time anchoring and shooting good sparks. The knife is called a Mossy Oak Overwatch . Good combo and something I'm sure I could sub for the Hatchet. . As for the condensation, I think the side I had my head on had one vent, my foot side had two vents.. I think if I had flipped around it might have helped. But the mesh storage thing is where the lone vent is which is convenient to hold gear items. Next time, I'll Flip around and see if that works better.
@@DCOutdoors Ya I noticed the flint was a little short for the knife but it's still really practical if that's the only thing you got when your lost! Good idea by flipping sides next time, I'm curious to see if it will help!
I held it together, but I had a pretty warm sleep system and alot of clothing on. It was really fun to test the sleep system.. I'm really happy with what I used. Now I know that next time I can go even colder.
I'd be so in for that! Can you ship beer across the boarder? If so - count me in!!! I hope you have a good weekend too! I think you'd like the Ribstone New England Style Pale Ale. They have a new Double IPA which is great for backpacking - like 8%. Good value for the weight.
Thank you Tressa! I'll start thinking of my next GAW too. I know I'll do something for 1000, but thinking I might find some things for 750 as well, we'll see.
Thanks - the tent did well but the sleeping bag and clothes I wore were probably what really helped.. If you're well insulated you get some wiggle room With the shelter in my opinion. I'd be worried Bout accumulating condensation though on longer trips. Being damp isn't good in cold weather.
My kiddos are 10 & 7 - I take them summer/spring camping and took my older out last fall hunting with me. On that trip we camped in my ice fishing tent (running a mr. buddy heater). I'm hoping to land a deal on a hot tent so that I can take them out in the fall and in the winter and it will be more comfortable. Keeping my eyes peeled for deals. Thanks for watching along, hope you liked the video.
Really appreciate you watching all the way from Italy! Wow. How'd you hear about the channel? I think, if memory serves me right this is your first comment (and if not , I apologize). Hope to see you around again! If you like this kind of stuff, I hope you consider subscribing so we can keep in touch. Cheers!!!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. If you like what you saw, please consider subscribing. I post videos every Thursday. I cover Outdoor Adventures (camping, hunting and fishing) as well as gear reviews and other outdoor content. Hope to see you back around here!
You are a brave man...I guess I like being warm too much! lol I know how cold it can get overnight in Alberta! Will have to go check out Saskatchewan Fisher now. Take good care as always...Bruce and Otis
It was definitely my coldest night camping in a situation where I wasn't running a heater. I was well prepared and the tent held up well. Next year I'm going to push it colder. I'm inspired to torture myself a bit more. It's fun to be a bit uncomfortable. Thanks for watching Bruce!
LOL! "That's not a knife...".. This thing was a hell of a blade. I was really impressed. If that was hot, we're downright tropical now. Today was 20'c on the positive side of freezing. We've had a TON of snow melt lately - thank goodness. It's been a long, long winter!!
Sometimes new emails go right into the junk....I just sent....ALSO I forgot to mention last comment...LOVE instant coffee....haha Grew up on it in high school.
I got your email - congrats. You'll get to choose a black or grey toque. I'm not opposed to instant coffee.. It works when you want something quick and only need a cup or two.
Very cool video Dan👍 I build a fire almost exactly like you do😁👍 use my knife for making kindling and ferro rod to spark it to life😉 I found my self blowing on my phone as soon as i seen that fire start and you put those shavings on 🤣 that tent looks cool aswell.
I rarely use a hatchet any more for kindling. I pretty much exclusively baton the wood. Way safer in my opinion. It was nice to practice with the ferro rod - haven't made a fire with one in a bit. Thanks for watching my friend!
Congrats cody for the win! I def missed not winter camping this year. Maybe olivia will be up for an adventure like that next winter. Heck my last winter trip it was -24 haha. Crazy canadians
I definitely want to push it colder next time to see how low I can go. I also have my eyes open for deals on a hot tent which should make it easier for me to take out the kids.
@DC Outdoors build one. You can build a really big one out of a heavy duty tarp for around 100$. Saw a great video on it. With guy lines and everything. I will be building one this summer for next winter
Glad youre loving the videos! Nice to see you here! Look forward to chatting with you more. It's been a long winter - gotta make the best of it! It's fun challenging myself. See you next time!
ooooooOOOOOOOOO YYEESSS hahahaa. Thanks! I dont think i've ever won a giveaway yet! Got lots of awesome stickers on trades. But an official giveaway....well now its official! Haha thank you from Jess and myself. I love that Rambo Knife lol. Cool it has the ferro rod holders as well! Awesome video!
Haha, glad you're pumped for this. Congrats buddy! You can share the Ration with Jess lol. Thanks for watching along man! I'll ship off your gift likely early next week!
Good on ya for getting out there in the cold & showing us how it is done! Really nice video! Congratulations to the winner & your channel growth. 👏 You reminded me that I'm overdue for a camp out. Thanks for sharing!

Great solo trip. Looked like you weathered the cold just fine. The boiled water trick I use every time. It really works great. Stays warm all night typically. Congrats to Saskatchewanfisher. Congrats on your milestone. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks so much! So quiet and peaceful to do the solo trips. A bit lonely but really relaxing. I had a super good time doing this. Can't wait to push the sleep system colder next year!
That knife can really multitask. Nice fire in a snowy campsite. That was a nice snow fall overnight for spring. Great tip with the water.
It was a decent dump of snow. We probably got another inch or two by the time I'd packed out. Wish it didn't snow that much - I wanted to go off into the crown land the next morning and bring home some more firewood, but that wasn't in the cards.
Awesome video, Dan. Great trip and congratulations to the winner! I think you’ll be warm enough …thanks for sharing. Blessings to you you.
I wore a zillion layers and was in a 0f bag, but still was a tad nervous when you push the gear. It all worked out and now I know that next winter I can push it even colder... 🤣👍😝
Great video Dan, looks like fun- that little tent must be a good one if you stayed warm through the night. Congrats to Sask.
I'm pretty happy with the tent so far. It's a tight squeeze but was happy with how it held up. It did a good job with the snowfall too. Thanks for watching brother!!

Thanks so much!!! It's been fun pushing myself a bit outside my comfort zone.. I had a great trip though! Wish I had more time there. It was a quick one. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Hi dan. Cool camo tent. I hope the weather warms up for you soon. Thanks for the shout out. Have a great weekend. 🙂👋🏻🇨🇦🔥🌲
Thanks Joe! I'm hoping we get more consistent weather. We've been through alot of snow and melt cycles. I'd love to see the snow in the rear-view mirror soon. Looking forward to your next review.. Missed you last week!
Dan YOU ARE AMAZING!!! No way could I camp ⛺️ tent style in -6 let alone colder.
Probably in my younger days. Sounds like you laid down some great insulation and had some great layers
I really like your tent,

Thanks Bryan - very much winter, but the calendar says it's spring. Hoping we get some. More consistent weather so we can march forward into real spring! Hope you're having an awesome week buddy!!
Wishing you warm weather soon. We just got back from 5 days of camping and swimming. 80 degree weather.
I'm jealous - that's like average summer weather for us. Can't wait to get out with the whole family! It needs to be a bit nicer (at least til the snow is melted) to bring out the wife and boys.
Great video. Glad the Nalgene water bottle didn’t leak. Lol. It was nice to be able to camp in the snow vicariously through you. 👍
Thanks Mark, I sealed up the lid super tight. Someone suggested the idea of putting it in a wool sock though to stop direct skin contact and prevent likelihood of burns. I put it in the main sleeping bag then I slept inside the fleece bag though too so I wasn't in direct contact at all. Glad I stayed out in the cold so you didn't have to lol. This was definitely a fun trip though. Probably one of my top 5 camping trips for sure. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Nice job on the fire, man. My hands were getting cold just watching you. Glad you got to get out even though the temps were still low.
Mine were pretty cold the next morning when I had to dig the tent pegs out of the snow. It was fun to push myself out of my comfort zone. Turned out well - so peaceful out there this time of year.
Good tip! Looks more like winter ❄️ instead of spring. Congratulations to the winner, Saskatchewan. Take care Dan 🤝
Thanks Tracy - definitely was a lot of snow. Hope we're winding that up soon. It's been a long winter. I honestly didnt expect to see that much snow. Where I went was about two hours north of home. Here at home in the city, not nearly that much snow around. It was a bit shocking. I didn't think I'd have to dig out a spot.
My handsome brother, u did a great job, heavy snowfall, enjoyy the video, creativity of fire, very nice sharing brother,take care
Thanks! Glad you liked the video.
Helpful tip with the hot water bottle. I don’t miss shoveling snow but it’s beautiful
It was a fun time to go - so quiet out there. I didn't expect that much snow though. Was fun to test myself, had a great night out there in reality. Appreciate you watching!! Hope you're having a good week!
Looks like it was a nice mellow overnight trip. Something kinda nice about an evening of solitude every once and a while.

Thanks Jerb's, I was well prepared for the sleep. Definitely warm enough - not super comfy but it was a fun relaxing overnighter. Cya on the next one!
Nice one. Good for you getting out there and going solo. The MRE sounded decent. Didn’t seem too brutal. You looked comfortable vs freezing. Congrats to the winner

Good for Sask Fisher - congrats! Dan I'm not a Ribstone Creek fan myself and I even drove thought Edgerton yesterday . Would like to support an Alberta brewery but I'm just not a fan.

It's a decent tent. Not a ton of room but a good backpacking tent for sure. Seems pretty resilient and did an OK Job retaining some heat. Appreciate your support. It's practically frlired up Friday, I blinked and it's almost the weekend! See you next time!
I like your "Step 2" reference! Your "Spring" is very different from our Spring in South Georgia...
Yah, we're about a month away from much greener times. Unfortunately, around these parts we can get snow from September to June. It doesn't last the whole time but you're almost never totally free of it. Glad you liked the reference! Haha, see you next time!!

I’m not sure if I can sleep outside in super cold weather, lol your brave man Dan. Congrats to winner!!! Awesome video Dan 👍👍
Hey Jun, it was a good test.. It's been fun to push myself and my sleep system. Really wasn't too cold at all! I wore 100 layers though haha!
nice to be out there. I would definitely not be able to handle this well. but you got all the right gears for it.
I threw everything at it - probably didn't need the fleece blanket liner and all the layers of clothes. I think next winter I'll push it a bit colder to see how low I can go. I really wanted to benchmark how this sleep system performs. Overall, I am happy with how it turned out.
looks like a lot of fun bro. camping in the snow area, it must be very cold.
thanks for today's video.
Really happy to hear that you enjoyed it! It was fun to push myself out of my comfort zone camping in these conditions. It was really peaceful. I was away from traffic and houses and it was dead quiet and so peaceful there. See you next time!!
Nice video braving in the cold and even snowing. Looks like a nice adventure 👍 cool Cabela's sweater.
Thanks! It was fun to push myself! Turned out to be a good time.
That condensation in the tent really can make it a bit uncomfortable so glad that you were able to stay nice and warm despite that.
Yah, I might be in trouble if I did a few back to back nights. Might be hard to control the dampness. I do think there was more ventilation where I had my feet. So next time I'll flip around to see if I can vent the condensation better. I was totally warm enough though. Dampness didn't get into the insulation.

Great review! That’s great to see you stayed warm enough in single digits... been a tent before, it was uncomfortably cold. Haha 😆
Good vid 👍🏼
I held it together, but I had a pretty warm sleep system and alot of clothing on. It was really fun to test the sleep system.. I'm really happy with what I used. Now I know that next time I can go even colder.
@@DCOutdoors that's great! stay at it bro.
Congrats Cody!!! Nice video and great review of the tent, but your MAD LOL ! Keep up the great work.
A little insanity is a good thing. At least now I know I can do -9c.. next time I'll push it colder...hehehe.
@@DCOutdoors More power to ya, that is just too cold for me :)
Hope you had a great weekend Dan! Wish I could trade you some DogFish for some Ribstone Creek. Take care!
I'd be so in for that! Can you ship beer across the boarder? If so - count me in!!! I hope you have a good weekend too! I think you'd like the Ribstone New England Style Pale Ale. They have a new Double IPA which is great for backpacking - like 8%. Good value for the weight.
Great video for sure. Congratulations to the winner!
Thank you Tressa! I'll start thinking of my next GAW too. I know I'll do something for 1000, but thinking I might find some things for 750 as well, we'll see.
@@DCOutdoors sounds great
Banyak salju pemandangan yang indah
Kami masih memiliki banyak salju - terima kasih telah menonton!
Pretty cool video Dan! Way to tough it out and it appears that the sleeping bag insulated fairly well.
Thanks - the tent did well but the sleeping bag and clothes I wore were probably what really helped.. If you're well insulated you get some wiggle room With the shelter in my opinion. I'd be worried Bout accumulating condensation though on longer trips. Being damp isn't good in cold weather.
Great video Dan! That's a neat tent and great tip also.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate you watching along!!
Enjoyed the video and congrats to the winner! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it.. It was a fun one to record! Appreciate you watching and commenting!! Thanks so much!
I've been wanting to try this with my boys
My kiddos are 10 & 7 - I take them summer/spring camping and took my older out last fall hunting with me. On that trip we camped in my ice fishing tent (running a mr. buddy heater). I'm hoping to land a deal on a hot tent so that I can take them out in the fall and in the winter and it will be more comfortable. Keeping my eyes peeled for deals. Thanks for watching along, hope you liked the video.
What a fun experience to share!
Thanks - hope you enjoyed it. I had a great trip, was a fun experience. See you next time!!
Cool videos👍🇮🇹👍 ciao from Italy ❤️🇮🇹👍🇮🇹

Thanks Kat - glad you enjoyed it! Hope your weekend is off to a good start.
@@DCOutdoors Thank you.
Great video Dan! Awesome tip of the week.
Thanks Franky - the bottle really helped! I definitely feel like it kept the bottom of the bag a bit warmer. Have an awesome weekend my friend !
Awesome video great shaung very

You are a brave man...I guess I like being warm too much! lol I know how cold it can get overnight in Alberta! Will have to go check out Saskatchewan Fisher now. Take good care as always...Bruce and Otis
It was definitely my coldest night camping in a situation where I wasn't running a heater. I was well prepared and the tent held up well. Next year I'm going to push it colder. I'm inspired to torture myself a bit more. It's fun to be a bit uncomfortable. Thanks for watching Bruce!
That is a crocodile Dundee knife, dude. -9, that is hot for Canada.😝
LOL! "That's not a knife...".. This thing was a hell of a blade. I was really impressed. If that was hot, we're downright tropical now. Today was 20'c on the positive side of freezing. We've had a TON of snow melt lately - thank goodness. It's been a long, long winter!!
great nice work
Thank you!!
That's a great looking knife. Who makes it? Gotta love those "spring" camping trips!
It's a Mossy Oak Overwatch. Huge knife. Could be a substitute for a Hatchet.
Sometimes new emails go right into the junk....I just sent....ALSO I forgot to mention last comment...LOVE instant coffee....haha Grew up on it in high school.
I got your email - congrats. You'll get to choose a black or grey toque. I'm not opposed to instant coffee.. It works when you want something quick and only need a cup or two.
@@DCOutdoors Grey please! Awesome! And no hurry when you ship. Thanks!
Very cool video Dan👍 I build a fire almost exactly like you do😁👍 use my knife for making kindling and ferro rod to spark it to life😉 I found my self blowing on my phone as soon as i seen that fire start and you put those shavings on 🤣 that tent looks cool aswell.
I rarely use a hatchet any more for kindling. I pretty much exclusively baton the wood. Way safer in my opinion. It was nice to practice with the ferro rod - haven't made a fire with one in a bit. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@DCOutdoors hope your subscribed and got your notification bell on for my last vid😉

Thank you for watching and supporting me! Glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to test my sleep system and I was happy with the outcome. See you next time!
Congrats cody for the win! I def missed not winter camping this year. Maybe olivia will be up for an adventure like that next winter. Heck my last winter trip it was -24 haha. Crazy canadians
I definitely want to push it colder next time to see how low I can go. I also have my eyes open for deals on a hot tent which should make it easier for me to take out the kids.
@DC Outdoors build one. You can build a really big one out of a heavy duty tarp for around 100$. Saw a great video on it. With guy lines and everything. I will be building one this summer for next winter
Interesting! If you find the video link bump it over on here or through the messaging apps that we're connected through.
Nice
Thanks!!
