"The most effective way to do it is to do it" - Amelia Earhart
Gear can be complicated and we all have different needs. It is about what gets you out and what gets the job done safely for you. Having trusted equipment is important but spending too much time debating items or waiting for all the best stuff only keeps us inside longer. Round up what you can, experience nature and improve over time. No outfit can compensate for true passion and hardiness.
This video discusses effective camping gear & clothing that I have thoroughly tested over 3 winters of winter camping expeditions. I present to you from my tent after one of those expeditions - a 27-day, 110km snowshoe trip through the wilds of Labrador.
I hope you enjoy it and maybe get some ideas for tweaking your own winter kit.

Thanks for sharing this. It reminds me of the old military saying, " travel light, freeze at night". Your videos are awesome!
Thanks Griff great and true qoute - you travel too light in Labrador's sub-arctic winter for a month and you probably die
Wool, wool, wool and more wool.
Great advice. Durable and will still provide warmth when wet. One thing if you’re prone to blisters is to bring some moleskin. Big Bill’s prices are very reasonable too.
Thanks and you can't go wrong with a pair of those Big Bills for the price. I use the lighter 24oz green wool blend cargo's(cheaper again) all spring, fall, sometimes on the cool days of summer and during milder winters. I wore them for the month in Newfoundland winter too (first three episodes of the 60 day series) So I highly recommend if ppl are looking for good wool pants. Also great point on Moleskin - I mentioned it in my first aid kit breakdown cpl years ago. Always carry it and it helped me big time with a very large blister I first week of crossing Newfoundland. All the best.
What I like is that you tested this gear and technique for real. Not like other videos showing only cooool stuff to sell. Thank you. I am leaving for a trap line one week long and learn a lot from your trip.
When out on my own adventures, at the end of a long days hike and I’m all settled in camp for the evening. I like to watch your adventures Justin 😄.
Not only have you created and shared a wonderful video library for us all to learn from, but you always remind me just how easy my day has really been. All the camp chores and stuff just become very small in comparison.
Thanks for taking the time to help people learn.
Thanks a lot Reece, safe adventures out there!
..traveling prepared, means getting home safe, great info. keep well and safe
You betcha thanks Bob, ATB
I love your presentations. Honest, sincere and believable. It's almost enought make me miss Newfoundland winters. People asked me how I could get to work during a toronto snowstorm; I should have made them watch your videos. Stay safe and keep trekking.
haha thanks a lot Slake - all the best b'y
The energy \ weight debate \ calculation is the sign of a true analyst at this business. The most extreme application being the Eco-Challenge. Those folks are constantly calculating the value of carrying water. Burn energy to carry water, and sweat more carrying the water. Those crazy dudes would push through dehydration until collapse. It's why they have med checks at the checkpoints and the staff will pull the plug on a competitor to keep them from killing themselves.
Well thought out and can never be to careful in your preparations. Then theres the neverending adjustments to be made. Thanks for the item list, although the coldest in Texas I've ever been in is 16 Farenheit with some nasty winds... Was just brutal for where I live. Inspiring to see your trips into the cold, icey wild. Looking forward to seeing more. I still think your the best I've seen and I watch alot of outdoors trips. On top of that you have an honest and intriguing character about you I really enjoy watching.
Thanks that's still dirty conditions to endure with the windchill - good on ya. Glad to have you along for the journeys, all the best in your neck of the woods, keeper going
Great comment.
Very nice to see what an experienced traveller like yourself brings out and uses on a winter expedition. You can’t buy experience. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
A lot of good gear info Justin thank you , sad this adventure is done sure hope to see more adventures from you. they are always epic to watch you are an inspiration to other's .... “Love your family, work super hard, live your passion. This really showed what gear you had to prepare for a wilderness expedition for the weather and environment you and Bear would be facing , It is a lot let alone the filming of the trip. really enjoyed this , Until your next expedition take care of yourself , Ontario.
You and I think very much alike. Wool and multiple layers. I ski and I have worked outside nearly my entire life. Some knowledge to pass on to you. Cashmere. Sounds fancy,, but for wool on steroids,, or as sleep gear, Cashmere is mighty nice to have along. Annnnddd the newest addition to my warm arsenal. Buffalo down wool. Oh,, my,,, goodness. Buffalo Wool Company out of Texas. Their midweight is the Advantage Trekker Boot sock. I have worn them at 0 C plus or minus with soaking wet feet on a long canoe trip. (400 to 500 miles) Two pair of socks,, wear one day while the other pair dries. Switch socks before going to bed, sleep dry,, alternate days switch back the next evening. Soft as imaginable, and wear like they are made of iron. And they make heavier ones.
Cashmere,, and Buffalo down,, used some Yak down as well,, hard to find though. (Buggers won't stand still when you try to comb them in the spring,,, funny about that)
I like the updated comments. You talk like you think.
I’m the exact same way and appreciate and listen.
I’ve been doing what I do for a lot of years and share knowledge and wisdom.
Listen or not.
Always listen people.
I knew those pants were Big Bill. Great stuff. I have the olive drab ones, and the hunter jacket also.
Awesome review! I went out in the winter for the first time this year. Having a sled instead of the backpack made it too easy to overpack!
I like having a baggy loose fitting pair of uninsulated Gore-tex bib pants as a shell. You can then wear as much or as little underneath and they will air out any moisture issues. Replace your pot, pans, cups with titanium. A titanium fry pan honestly sucks for frying so judge for yourself on that. Butane stove in hard winter?...nope. Nothing beats a liquid fuel stove(after the wood stove of course) like the optimus nova(which i prefer because it can burn anything without changing jets even butane canisters) or the msr dragonfly and no issues in deep cold. All the canvas bags add so much weight and bulk. The thermos is a godsend and nothing beats having hot water at the ready. You can bury water bottle upside down in the snow and they wont freeze solid by morning. Awesome video Brudder.
I love this guy “hey by”
You could bring a Eton crank charger; good backup for the solar. That way you could solar charge the other stuff, and then use the crank for the phone. It also has a small solar panel on it to build up a charge you could use to dump to the phone at night.
Thanks for breaking it down for us. So interesting to hear from someone who actually uses these items. I am new to Merino Wool and love it. Never get cold here in Northern Minnesota wearing it. Thanks Justin.
Grab yourself a pair of rich, fluffy alpaca socks for laying about camp or sleeping. It's real luxury. Great series. Thanks for the shakedown video.
Also, add a few boughs near the door. The snow there can melt and refreeze creating a slippery area right next to a hot stove.
Thanks, nice tips David. If I don't bough the whole tent I do half which does cover that area near the door and beside the stove. But I still find over where the dog sleeps and a bit of where I lay gets icy after we sleep there a night and compact it. Then when the stove is off for a bit it freezes hard and smooth if we are there for more than a day. However, I find laying the tarp down over the whole area other than under the stove (because plastic would melt of course) helps keep those icy areas from getting slippery. So a tarp is key if one is going boughless or with minimal boughs. All the best
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer Because of where I camp I don't have the privilege of using boughs as you enjoy, but if I'm staying in a place for more than a couple days I'll look around for a downed balsam and take a few limbs for the doorway. They make the entry safer and fill the tent with a heady scent. A tarp goes down for the sleeping area. Spring has just sprung here but all this talk is making me wistful for the winter! Cheers!
Information is vital and you share it clearly. Because of your docuseries style and narration as a not the norm viewer I learned and enjoyed watching. Heavy life experiences becomes less heavy ,watching such content. Thank you for keeping an audience engaged and staying on point. Out there and as any locale, knowledgeable preparations determines life or death. Stay well and rest well for next excursions. Many blessings on you and family. Bear profiling in the back is 🔥 😊
Glad you made it to the end of your adventure man, thanks for sharing your adventure, hope to see more soon
Thanks Justin. I all ways learn something from you and your expeditions. Love your companions as well. Thanks for sharing all ya Be eh!
Great video Justin; you answered many questions I had about winter gear, how to use it and where to get it. Much appreciated.
You have everything covered. Well thought out equipment and clothing.
Best one yet! Cant beat the good old wool.
Great video Justin, honest talk about what you really need !
There must be places left on this planet for adventurers like you or at least a sponsor for your trips at least they will know what works. great video thanks
along with the clothing cache outside the tent, good idea to have a bivvy \ 1 person tent in case the hot tent burns to the ground. Also a good idea to have a canadian forces sleeping bag in that cache.
Yes but then we are talking about carrying too much gear Andre. That would be a nice chunk of extra weight. I think I would just have to tough it out, salvage what I could, make lean-too's and big fires or - not let it happen at all. Knock on wood! take care buddy
Justin, check out North Sea Clothing for heavy wool sweaters. Also, please do a video on those rabbit pins you used to snare rabbits.
No ultralight yip yap Here.
This man Takes it ALL.
👍
Thanks. It all depends on one's trip goals. I was pretty light for this traditional style of winter camping.
I'd recommend a folding saw like a silky big boy or corona. Lighter than a takedown bucksaw. Also a good idea to have a hudson bay knife to double as a chopper in case the saw breaks AND the axe breaks. Never know...
Thanks, Andre but that aluminum bucksaw I carry is 1/2 a pound lighter than the Silky Big Boy
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer surprising, but I'm not keen on those thin bucksaw blades. I find they can turn purple from heat and can break at the attachment points too easily, because they're so thin.
As always great stuff
Waiting for the next video
Hopefully more more green that white😊
Wish you good health
God bless you
This is a very good video! Good information about equipment, what type / alternative, how it is used and why! Thanks for that !👍👍
Very detailed description, my husband and I also winter camp in a Snowtrekker 😊 it's nice to see the tips and advice! Great video. Bear is so sweet and calm🐶💕
Right on, Justin.
Pat, Joe & Baxter!!! See you’d be right at home in placentia Bay haha
Fantastic breakdown of the gear. Thank you for sharing.
A lot of places you do want a couple of options for getting / carrying water - hydration is very important.
Very interesting and informative.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the Flats bye.
Awesome - thank you for sharing - love the long term gear thoughts.
this is my favorite episode of the series!!! Justin about to conclude an expedition and thinking thru his Load Out. this is information you cant beg, burrow or buy. thanks Barbour!!!
My pleasure Sean thanks for watching!
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I never missed anything you put up. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the Fibe TV series thru Labrador, but I was with you every step of the way, thanks to Inreach. 👍 I'll watch it some day.
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I know you're a busy man, but if you ever make it out to Carbonear, NL i would love to meet you and show you the country out this way. ✌ Peace Brother ✌
@@Mrcrawford100 Thanks Sean I think you are referring to Across Labrador which aired here on RUclips in 2020? I'll give you the link below. Both series I have done on Bell Fibe TV have come to RUclips. 52 Days in Bay Du Nord (Wild North Atlantic Island) and the recent 60 day series (White Wilderness).
Here is the link to the Labrador series you may be thinking of: ruclips.net/p/PLHfA8Z4nZrxWyxHGC_Fb6maQ2M3SDS7Ah
All the best in Carbonear ya never know we may cross paths - keeper going buddy.
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I did not know that about your Across Labrador trip. 😲 Shaking your hand is on my bucket list sir. . I'll see you somewhere along the road of life and accomplish just that, I hope!
Thanks for sharing! My moose hide/canvas kamik that I acquired in Inuvik were amazing in the dry Arctic winter. It's still pretty mild here in Labrador, but I'm looking forward to using them all winter long. I'll pick up a nice pair of insoles for them soon.
That anorak jacket looks pretty amazing. I'm might reach out to LOTN to get one. Merry Christmas Justin!
HOARDER!!!!! lol.... a lot of gear!!!! fantastic videos Justin. Question: who would be your top 5 youtubers you like to relax and watch in you down time? it would be interesting to hear what you (enjoy/find interesting) from them
Alot of great info here! Thanks for sharing.
Your the real deal Justin!..Thanks for the awesome videos.
love your channel, THANKS
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Makes a difference 👍!
good job Justin!
Wow, so much information and knowledge shared. IMO, 2 litres of water bottles is not a luxury.
Did I see a satellite phone on one trip ? You would need the Garmin for rescue if no sat phone ? Great overview, I like your style, basic gear no frills just function, more traditional approach.
Thanks no Sat phone just the Garmin InReach with SOS on it and 2 way communication to check in with Heather every evening
enoyed that... watched it twice and will watch again
That's a huge help for the channel Robert much appreciated 👊
looking forward to seeing your other trips
Like that anarack I may check them out
Cool note: Kielyn (Kye) from Lure of the North was a contestant on Alone Season 7 if you didn't know!
I did know but thanks Nick!
Lots of helpful info. 👍keep on trekking
You can use a dry bag as a water bucket in camp.
For sure I do it in the summer all the time don't think I have in winter though thanks Andre
Good one buddy I had the same problem with that frying pan
Thanks and it's junk eh by
yes it is
Good thing your've bought new equipment, You wouldn't be better a feather jackets are very warm and they don't weigh and some are water - proof .
- I help me translater spanish to English -
Great adventure! Thanks for sharing!! BTW, were you able to recover the gear from your first trip to Labrador? Best Regards, Jay
Thanks a lot Jay and yes I did, all the best buddy
cool :)
Hey Justin..I may have overlooked it but what do you use for fire starter when everything is wet?
How much weight was the toboggan fully loaded when you first started?
I like your philosophy on candles; where do you get your candles?
Thanks get them from Canadain Tire . Yummi Candles. Best I have used lately. I think they are 8 inches tall. The long thin ones
@@JustinBarbournlexplorer Thanks
Have you tied gia maps. They have thousands of maps. Unlimited downloads can gps track with out data. I use to use the Canada topo. But have found the gia maps much more accurate as well better maps. Even current areal photos. Over lay with topo.
I have heard of it but haven't tried it. I should take a look soon thanks Kevin buddy all the best
i think i just read a candle burns for approx 5 hours per oz of wax.
missing the most important gear, where you get the stove? any good stove you recommend? thanks
I mentioned the stove with the tent. Got it from Snowtrekker.com They sell the Kni-Co Stoves. Mine is the small model for the solo tent. Thanks for watching Bobby best wishes

What are you bringing for two months of food?
Has been discussed briefly in many past winter videos on the channel but will go more in depth in the future thank for watching Tommy atb
Love your videos , but I gotta say: 3 weeks with the same underwear? Recipe for crotch rot. Better off going commando !
Won't hurt ya thanks for watching
