I am SO thrilled to see you feel 11 out of 10, had a wonderful time of zen and decompressing, and enjoying nature and family. What a wonderful way to ground yourself and reset! And what an awesome story of how this place has shaped you and even led to you meeting Jessica. Wow! I don't really listen to the Smashing Pumpkins, but The Civil Wars has a hauntingly beautiful cover of Disarm that I adore. Great video. The peace and love just exudes through you the whole time.
Wow Sam, this is honestly the best camping video I've ever seen ! It had humour, introspection, honesty, sausage and peppers (kind of) and what an achingly beautiful place. It might sound weird but I could see a change in your eyes. I will revisit this one many times. Watching it, that place had the feel of somewhere one might go to heal. I'm over writing now 🙄 but I was so rapt for you that you got to recharge your batteries, it seems you need to live there.. the place is in your soul and your heart.
Looks like an awesome place glad you shared it with us. For sure the right decision to cut out and avoid a wet camp especially with that kind of drive. Great vid made my day!
Yeah, I agree. I grappled with it for three days lol but knowing I would have just went to bed and woken up at six or seven cooked and then taken down and left anyway what is an extra 12 hours being not so thrilled the next day
Sam, brother-you NEED to come out west to the PNW and check out Portland/Seattle + surrounding areas. THE most beautiful area of the country by far. Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, Crater Lake, Smith Rock, Columbia River Gorge, Olympic Nat’l Forest, Willamette Valley, Eastern & Central Oregon high desert, etc. There’s so much to do and see here re/ outdoorsy stuff. You’d love it! If you find yourself in Portland we could hook up & grab a beer!
I go back to the block I grew up on every few years. To the corner where we played baseball using the intersection corners as 1st 2nd 3rd and home. The echoes of the past are real. The voices of friends lost too soon are still there. It's good to get back to your roots
Iff you camp at the New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, WV. Go during "Bridge Day" A day when people parachute off of thst Bridge. Eat at Cathedral Cafe for breakfast or brunch and eat lunch or dinner at Pies and Pints. All in Fayetville,WV. Go white water rafting for sure while you're there as well.
Hi Sam - You brought back some great memories of canoe camping on Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park. The scenery is very similar. We did day portages... the canoe and a backpack. I cannot imagine canoeing hundreds of miles up to James Bay. You had some great camp fires. And all those millions of stars. Thanks for taking us along.
Hello my friend, so glad to see you happy and at peace. Returning to your happy place or comfort place is always good to reset your compass. Hope all is well. Best, Steve
A great trick I found for coolers is to freeze water bottles instead of using ice. When the ice melts, it will stay in the bottle and you now have a cold drink. Plus the frozen bottles stay mostly frozen even a few days since being put into the cooler.
I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with your fans. Will be looking forward to the next video. God Bless, take care. Oh, what a beautiful lake.
@TheNorthwestWind I can 100% relate to this. You mentioned that such short amount of words can make such an impact. I almost got a Lil choked up. I been searching and waiting for a gratitude I once knew. 😔 I will be sober for 7 years in 2 months.
Keep going my friend, one day at a time. If you are ever having a hard day or questioning things, just reach out to me and we can work through it together.
Sam, I loved this video. It is wonderful seeing you on top of the world. The scenery was stunning. That was a spectacular place for an extended camp. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. Jessica is a lucky girl. Cheers! 🥷⛺️🐢
This is my favorite video. Wow thank you for sharing such a special beautiful place. It was relaxing. I can’t believe how you can drink water from the lake!!! I bet Sasquatch. Is in the area and I love Bambino!
Wow, such a beautiful video to watch, buddy. You most definitely needed time off from everything for a few days to recharge the batteries.❤❤❤ also, if I may, I offer jess a big ol' virtual hug, after all, she is doing a awesome job helping to keep you on track looking at a beautiful, bright future. You guys are the perfect match made in heaven. I wish you pair all the best n then some now and into the future.
awesome camping beautiful lake this is paradise, spectacular views from Devil’s Mt 🤩 Im so glad Keewatin spirit and mother nature has blessed you with peace joy rejuvenation 🤗
First off, love the video, amazingly beautiful scenery, which some of us never get to see so thank you. and second of all when Bambino showed up that’s what I thought. I’m like oh my gosh he’s gonna keep you company and then they brought their baby and I’m so glad you’re feeling better.🫶🫶🫶🫶
@@TheNorthwestWind exactly it truly is thats why I always tried to get my partners or friends to go camping, it really does something and is truly healing. Glad you are enjoying yourself! 💯
I just came back from my first camping trip since 2022, also the first camping trip since my mother passed in 2023. I took Applewood smoked bacon and made bacon burgers for dinner. It was a nice time solo.
@@TheNorthwestWind I won't lie, I was sad during the trip. None of my friends will go camping so I've always gone myself. I would call her and talk to her. to have someone to talk to. The actual camping was nice. I had to go to a State Park, no one camped in loop I was in, and had nice easy access to the road which the shower/restroom is not to far from. I got rained on the second day, was in my tent for a few hours lol, I had to dry my 10x10 tent out in my living room because I live in an apartment.😅
Hey .how are ya...Sam my brother it's so good to see u enjoying yourself and relaxing,half way through this I had to stop and express my thoughts,the scenery is awesome,great work as always!
thats such a cool coincidence that we both went solo camping in Canada for 3 days this summer! 😂🔥I ended up stealth camping in Southern Quebec, so I wasn't as remote as where you went, but Canada is Canada lol. I hardly recorded that much either. Only like a few minutes of footage for a quick UA-cam vid.
With all that's going on in your life, getting away like this to recharge your batteries is a real blessing. Quite the life event coming up. Recharged batteries will make it easier to deal with the pressures of socializing with all those people and making it a more pleasant experience for you and for everyone else.
Always sausage and peppers 🌶 crew got u back. That bigfoot watched u shit though lol glad u had a ball brother ur awesome catch and cook very good views one ideal I had for ya
There are a ton of legends in this area and all across northern Ontario from the aboriginal people to current people that have seen things or experience things along those lines. I never really felt that way up here at all in the weeks and weeks I’ve spent. But I have in Pennsylvania and Ohio, which is interesting.
@TheNorthwestWind it is always good to get back to ur roots and watch all video as always do it looked like u really enjoyed urself and u need to plan a trip with u and the Mrs Oldlady and dogs yall all will have a blast she love it just as much as u do just hopefully it doesn't rain I really enjoy u my friend 😊
Now that I know the cooler was a success when I travel and camp on the bass boat, next time I can bring all fresh stuff instead of canned and freeze dried stuff. Trust me I’m already planning a menu lol
This was a really moving video. Not to get too personal, but I sincerely hope you and Jess decide to have children. Taking my 10 year old son on fishing/camping trips over the years has been the most fulfilling thing in my life. I don't know you, but I can just tell that you would be a fantastic father, sharing all of your profound wisdom and love for the outdoors. This video really affected me. Thank you.
@@TheNorthwestWindWe can only see what you tell us in your "heart shaped box", Sam. The word "had" weighs heavy. I'm praying the circumstances have improved.
Man, I say this with the upmost respect, I want to watch your vids I really do, as a fellow Ohioan i want to support you but I feel like you try too hard to make it funny all the time..
You are really good at this solo camping thing. Most people wouldn't do it.
Natural for you. You may be on to something 😊
I appreciate that my friend I’ve just been camping and doing outdoor crap for so long that I just go do it lol but I do enjoy it. That’s for sure.
I am SO thrilled to see you feel 11 out of 10, had a wonderful time of zen and decompressing, and enjoying nature and family. What a wonderful way to ground yourself and reset!

That is a great cover, good eye. Much love to you and thank you so much for the continued support
Sam loved this video! would love to experience a trip like that! Beautiful Area
We will have to plan a trip up here together, Tony
I love lake of the woods. Camping on an island is so good for the soul.
Amazing video. Makes me wanna pack up and go right now.
Never been, but I’ve heard good things
Wow Sam, this is honestly the best camping video I've ever seen ! It had humour, introspection, honesty, sausage and peppers (kind of) and what an achingly beautiful place.

I feel precisely the same way, it definitely left a mark on me. Im so glad that you enjoyed my friend, its always more fun to film fun trips
Zoleo is good for camping safety. I want that for next time I go hiking, camping, and fishing.
I love mine it saved my ass in Minnesota
Another great video. Lovely scenery! From a fan in England!
Hello and thank you to my friend from across the pond

Amen my friend, peace be with you
The great outdoors is the best medicine. So glad you are taking care of you🙂 Beautiful place.
One day at a time, my friend, thank you for always being so kind
That looked like a perfect spot to camp! Right by the water. What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing this adventure my friend!
I am glad you enjoyed and appreciate the love, my friend
Great video. Looks like you had a blast! Enjoy the rest of your summer!!! Take care Bro 😎
Thank you, brother, it was perfectly enjoyable
Hey thanks for sharing this video with us. Much appreciated. Definitely need to go back with maybe with some trail hiking next time.
I definitely definitely plan to return
A beautiful journey...
Thank you so much, it truly is a special place
Glad you’re feeling better!
Thank you so much, my friend
Made my day.😊
I’m so glad my friend
Nice entertaining video with these amazing landscapes. Greetings from Germany :)

Algonquin is on my list, my friend. But yes, they are all similar different in their own way. The beauty is what is common.
Hello my friend, so glad to see you happy and at peace. Returning to your happy place or comfort place is always good to reset your compass. Hope all is well. Best, Steve
Well, said my friend, much love to you
Great content, Loved It!!!!! I’m So jealous, glad you were able to take that adventure 😊 also happy your doing better Sam. You’re truly blessed 🙏
I am very lucky, and also very lucky to have had that experience growing up. Much love to you as always.
SWEET! 16k subscribers!!! Congratulations!!🎉
Let’s keep pushing

GREAT IDEA! Will need to try that

Thank you so much for being so kind and for showing the support, it truly means so much to me
Awesome to see you back! Nothing better than time outdoors to improve mental health am I right? Your sausage and peppas crew have your back!
It surely did the trick
My favorite vid from this channel so far, golf course second, rail bridge third, so many to choose from. Love it , keep em coming! Thank you!!!
I really appreciate that, I swear I do. This was the longest and hardest edit I’ve ever done. 12 hours lol thank you so much much.
Spectacular video!
Thank you so much
This is just what you needed. Some great north woods camping. Hope it helps cure you
Couldn’t have said it better myself, my friend. Hit the spot.
Great and funny video Sam! I really needed your humor tonight - been having a couple “crappy” nights and days. Thank you!!!
I hope you’re feeling better today. If you ever need to talk or just want to chat about things, you know you can reach out to me.
I love this daddy!! Sweet spot!
Thank you so much, it is amazing. Not too far from you either I guess relatively
Sweet video man!
Thanks so much, my friend
Awesome video
Thank you much my friend
We all been there. Asking ourselves if we will ever have that good feeling again, be happy like we once were.
I actually can relate.
It has never occurred to me until it occurred to me that I’ve been searching for the feeling that I’m feeling in that moment
@TheNorthwestWind I can 100% relate to this. You mentioned that such short amount of words can make such an impact. I almost got a Lil choked up.
I been searching and waiting for a gratitude I once knew. 😔
I will be sober for 7 years in 2 months.
Keep going my friend, one day at a time. If you are ever having a hard day or questioning things, just reach out to me and we can work through it together.
Looks so peaceful out there.
Except when I was screaming about the meats, I was choosing to cook for myself
Sam, I loved this video. It is wonderful seeing you on top of the world. The scenery was stunning. That was a spectacular place for an extended camp. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. Jessica is a lucky girl. Cheers! 🥷⛺️🐢
I am the lucky one, but thank you so much and I agree on all accounts my friend. Nothing but love to you.
This is my favorite video. Wow thank you for sharing such a special beautiful place. It was relaxing. I can’t believe how you can drink water from the lake!!! I bet Sasquatch. Is in the area and I love Bambino!
so glad that you enjoyed!!!!

I wasn’t lying when I said the ducks were great company. Totally 19000404040% the truth
Isn't that beautiful. Now who could not feel well out in nature! 💯
It is so healing
@@TheNorthwestWind exactly it truly is thats why I always tried to get my partners or friends to go camping, it really does something and is truly healing. Glad you are enjoying yourself! 💯

Well, at least you got out there and did something you enjoy and it sounds like for the most part. You still had a good time. That’s important.
This might be the best video you've made so far
Really?
@@TheNorthwestWind Absolutely. With your U-Haul truck stealth camp being a close second
Oddly enough, both of those required the most effort so I appreciate you noticing because it definitely took a lot of work lol
Good stuff brother
Cheers to you my friend!
We now need a bambino sticker or t-shirt
lol maybe we do
Hey .how are ya...Sam my brother it's so good to see u enjoying yourself and relaxing,half way through this I had to stop and express my thoughts,the scenery is awesome,great work as always!
Thanks for the continued amazing support Brian
14:52 - 14:58 The Northwest wind did NOT have your back there.... Wow the struggle is so relatable!😂
lol true
@@TheNorthwestWind I did pick up on a lot of things you said. Some very personal and painful. I'm glad your Aunt was there for you.
She is a saint
How are You, fun video. Hey Bambino!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Shout out to jimmy dean and hillshire farms
I’m more of an Italian sausage, kind of guy but at the same time sausages are sausage
I'm a smoked sausage consumer
As am I, as am I

Why you such a Bill Dance..Lol wish I had a nice tracker like that what HP is it
Lol. It’s a 40 hp jet.
What!?!? What is sausage without peppers?
Tell me about it

Awesome video brotha, glad you got to go somewhere that not to many people get to visit! -d/mariano
Appreciate that my friend. I recommend anybody anybody go to some super remote places and just try to be out there.
