What a beautiful lake with all those cliffs! It's hard to get warm once you're cold for sure! Exercise is more or less the only way. Cutting wood. That and hot spicy ramen. When I spent the winter in an off grid RV in the mountains near Powell River, I got my husky a puffy jacket for those cold nights so it wouldn't fall off like a sleeping bag. That humid BC winter is enough to make a husky cold! I tried extra layers for myself but in that humidity I found it really doesn't work if you're sitting still. I wouldn't do it again (winter RV life) without a wood stove.
Definitely going to grab a good supply of spicy ramen for the next trip ! You're right, even though it isn't that cold temperature wise, the damp air really cuts through you ! We've been thinking of potentially installing a wood stove in the van... That'd be awesome. Thanks for watching !
The landscape around that lake is amazing. But sleeping in a tent in February,,, makes you wonder how the old boys did it back in the 60's ,,,, on purpose!?!. Another great vid!!!!
They were a different breed 🤣. Takes balls .. and a lot of booze I'm assuming...pretty inspiring though. We will be back in the homeland in the fall, thinking of doing a portage trip through the Westree area during that time, we'll see ! Cheers dude !
Such a nice idea to go water camping! We have had a heatwave here in South Africa and had to hide from the sun, cooler weather would be great. Good video, thanks!
Oh wow ! It's actually not overly cold here, it's just the crazy humidity that really gives you the chills ! Well send some cold weather your way haha thanks for watching !
I was really surprised that there wasn't any snow on the ground or ice on the water in February! Isn't that unusual for Canada? Absolutely beautiful there 😍 so very pretty ❤
The island is a temperate rainforest so very mild winters. Still gets super cold with the extra humidity in the air but at least we have access to the beautiful lakes year round 😁❤️
Good job getting out there in winter despite the cold! And “ there’s no fish in this lake “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. And I giggled pretty hard when alannah giggled at the “ corner of my ear’’ comment. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😋😋🤪🤪😜😜I love that you don’t edit things like that out.. give diesel a pat on the head for me! 🛶🛶🛶🛶🛶🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺❤❤❤❤❤🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💩💩
@@Alaskagirl618 Alannahs a trooper for that one 😅❤️. We camp in the cold fairly often but there's something about the humid coastal air that just cuts right through you 🥶. Haha gotta keep it real 🤣! Will do! I wish we could send pics via UA-cam... He's cuddled up right now hogging the bed.. typical 🐶
Nice winter adventure. Loved seeing the sun on the lake.
We had to capitalize on the nice weather forsure ! Thanks for watching !
