Things slow down and you have time to enjoy the sunrise, the sunset, animals doing their thing, the smells, the feeling of the wind, the sounds. It truly is a therapy like none other. Hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, all great ways to get outdoors as often as possible and enjoy the good things in life nature has to offer. Cheers!

    From an era you're just a tad young to remember, "Broken Arrow" was Also Viet Nam war open mike code to bring all assets to a location, usually aircraft. It ment a flier or ground unit was down and about to be or was being over run by hostile forces. Like calling in artillery right on top of your position was called "danger close", for no margin of error.

    Ive always loved the out doors. But after highschool i was just to busy with work. Then i started a family and just never had time. I was always somewhat depressed and stressed out. A year ago i came across your channel and your personality and kindness and just happiness made me want to get outside again. So thats what i did. I made time. Took the family with me and onces a month (roughly) we go camping. Just over the weekend nothing crazy and i have to say i feel really good. The quiet time, the peace, the nature is just relaxing. Its helped me in many ways plus my daughter loves it. So thank you. It turns out the simple things is what i needed to be happy. Your the man and im thankful you make these videos.

    We are waiting on a 'serious' lake effect snowstorm off of Lake Ontario to start today in which we are supposed to get upwards of 20 inches of snow from. Combined with some winds of +25mph and the sub-artic temps we have been experiencing (+20* to -27*) and watching this video, it almost makes me want to get out my old 4 season tent and set it up in either the back yard or woods behind the house and do a winter weather overnighted myself!! Only things stopping me are a) haven't been feeling to good for the last few days (not covid, just regular flu like symptoms) and b) because of it, wife won't let me( don't want her getting mad at me). And you know the saying...'happy wife, happy life's, lol. Thanks for bringing us along. See you in the next one.

    It’s really weird how the weather, over time, in these mountains have changed so much. I live just on the other side of the mountain into Tennessee and I remember as a kid we use to always get quite a few decent snows through out the winter, now I’m lucky to get a single decent snow. I love the snow, just being out in it, the surreal lack of noise, the calmness it brings… but sadly we never seam to get a whole lot anymore, but I still get to enjoy it vicariously through your videos, and it’s cool just seeing the difference in weather just an hour or 2 away. My last good snow we had was mid December 2018, got 14 inches of snow. Every other snow since has been 6” or less and very few and far between. Occasionally if a snow storm happens during a couple of my days off I will make the trip to the Tn/Nc border up in the mountains to enjoy it.

    Having a Hilleberg tent, most any Hilleberg tent & you KNOW it will provide shelter during the storm, cold, rain, & snow. In the weather conditions that Mother Nature came up with, it's truly comforting to crawl inside the pitched tent where you'll stay sheltered & with a good air mattress & sleeping bag, you'll be comfy cozy. I've never experienced the weather conditions you were faced with in this video & never slept inside a Hilleberg 4-season tent because I'm a 3-season overnighter & my Hilleberg Enan has provided me with all the shelter I've ever needed/wanted. Yes, I've overnighted down to 5º & experienced strong gusty windy conditions all night. Even woke up one morning to find that it had snowed during the night. Yes, I had the foresight to add big heavy rocks on top of all the tent stakes the night before. Twas a memorable overnighter, for sure.

    I was so tempted to go out into the Pisgah to camp in that storm, but yea, seeing the weather change from about 6-8 inches up to about 15-20 really discouraged me as I only started getting into camping since August. Great video like always though!

      @@josepheller8395 completely agree with you. While I'm more into the overlanding aspect with my vehicle fully set to comfortably sleep inside, I have untested winter gear, and no experience at winter camping. So, definitely didn't want to camp somewhere with no cell reception, and to have over a foot of snow dumped on me overnight as my first winter camping experience. Been 2 weeks since that storm hit, had another one hit last week, and another one this weekend. I will be calling in this one though, but in an area where it's only calling for a few inches, with no high winds, and where I have cell reception just in case.

Put money is the jar.” We would eat a box and save a box. The good folks of Michigan turn into road devils on the way home, after work, heh, heh…They just want to get home.

    Tip* Do not put the hand warmers under your toes. The friction will heat those up so hot and fast you will have to take them out.
    They also have toe warmers that are thinner with a sticky pad on one side just for boots.
    The socks you wear are important also, stay away from cheap poly socks and get wool whenever possible so your socks don’t get soaked with condensation.
