DEEP WINTER BACKPACKING on the Ice Age Trail | Wisconsin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- We head up to Wisconsin to rendezvous with Dan Becker & co. to do some LEGIT winter backpacking. Even though temperatures were fairly mild, for Wisconsin standards, we trudged through 20 degree temps, and a few feet of snow. The conditions really turned this place into a winter wonderland.
Our route took us along the famous Ice Age Trail, and through the Kettle-Moraine State Forest (Northern Unit). We spend two nights on the ice age trail, tenting and hammock-camping along the way, having blazing fires, and enjoying the companionship of several other RUclipsrs.
It was fantastic to finally get a fully-fledged winter backpacking trip in the snowy woods of Wisconsin. Wisconsin really is a magical place (including all the cheese curds and craft beer!)

You guys had a fun crowd for this weekend! I always enjoy watching these trips through multiple viewpoints/channels.
Thanks!
Nice new quilts. Looked like fun. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Thanks Al!
The look on the Girl Scout cookie guys face when you told him you were 4 miles out 😂. I thought he was going to take his cookies back
Hahaha I hadn’t noticed that
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Grabbed some Spotted Cow and A Binford 2000 Fire starter, Class!!. don't cha know. Who had the Gonex pack?? Nice job on the UGQ. good to know. Thanks Chad
I’m dying, hilarious
Great video! Makes me want to get out in some snow!
Jason Waugh is bringing back great camp cooking one video at a time!
You’re not kidding about that!
Smokeybeesnatural 😃😃
I enjoy your content, but I think what I appreciated with this trip (along with others) and your BS-ing videos/podcasts is how you two show how awesome the backpacking community is! As RUclips creators you all show how awesome it is to get out with different people and you can have a good time no matter the trip. Even a different one like this one (It's amazing that Wisconsin sells different Mountain House meals along the Ice Age trail like that 😆).
You two have become like the common thread to a lot of other content and channels. Thank you for that!
Thank you for the kind words Ryan!
Glad to see you Boys made it out to play in the white stuff...hope you enjoyed the tent ..collecting wood in the snow sucks for sure ..its a whole another world in the winter ...GREAT video !!
Thanks!
No problem ...your guys videos always make me feel like getting out in the WOODS and backpacking...
Sweet trip, guys!!! That looks awesome.
Ps: Tell Chad, i absolutely LOVE my UGQ Bandit! It is the warmest and most comfortable thing I've ever owned.
Great gear for a good trip guys. Nice score on the girl scout cookies!
Heck yes!
Restless gonna be mad now..! 🤷♂️😄
Yes RO will be grumpy. We love everyone!
Looks like y'all had a great time!
My hat's off to another great vid from the "Shilly-Shally Brothers"😂🤣☘️🍀
Hahaha I hadn’t heard that
Really, go to Rob's vid aka repelton1 at the 7:46 mark😂🤣☘️🍀
Ahhh yes - I remember Rob saying that now
Killer weekend. Your fire making will start becoming the thing of legend, if I have my way.
Very fun Video. I will be through Hiking the Ice Age Trail with my Service Dog starting May 1st. I had my fun camping in the wintertime when I was in the Army up in Alaska. Where we trained a lot in the winter and temps would drop into the -50. We would sleep outside with just sleeping bags and a foam mat when it would warm up to 0 to 10 degrees.
Brats, trail tacos, Doritos! You guys know how to eat!
Yes we do!
Looked fun! UGQ for the win. I love their stuff.
Thanks Josh!
Great video! I am not a fan of snow but it would be nice to get at least one snow storm a year in SE Ohio again. All we got this year was a couple dusting.
Wondering if Restless is going to make a video Becker shaming you all? Curious since your picture was already scratched out.
Yep the winter in Ohio has sucked!
I spent two weeks in Wausau over January & February, lots of snow, & so cold (for me!) Worth every bit of it to finally have some Spotted Cow on tap!!! Brought back 4 1/2 cases. It’s been one of my favorite beers for a long time!
Battering down the hatches lol
Well, sometimes those darn hatches get stuck and need some battering to get them battened down. ;)
@@Silkstep right lol
I’m so proud of JK ❤️❤️❤️. His steak looked awesome!! Lots of great cooking on night one. Lots of cool people out there. Enjoyed the video guys.
Backpacking With Jason Heck yeah!!! Learned from the best!
When I saw those potatoes and that big piece of meat I thought Jason had snuck into the group!
MidLife Adventures he was there in spirit.
Jason JK took good cooking to a whole new level!
MidLife Adventures 😂😂
You guys need to do another one of these.
WOW.... last night watched 16 1/2 hours of drunk'n BS'n with that guy on the ground & a tarp, now another video.... I'm really Chill'n with Schill's this week! Nice video..... was that a Binford 3000 in the background...?
( I think Restless makes coffee nervous, I'm Jus Say'n)
Hahahahahahaha! Thanks for hanging out!
Looks like a good trip still waiting for snow here in nc mite have to take a trip up north to see any snow
When is the next meet up for all of you? I was cool watching the same trip from different view points!
Aquafina does not freeze! Found bottles of aquafina on construction sites in February, the only thing not frozen, craziest shit ever!
That's disturbing. I searched it and the media is trying to debunk it. I knew not to trust them :)
Interesting..
Hey guys. Great trip and fun to see everyone together. I heard you mention a titanium grill. What is the brand?
We got a vargo titanium grill from mass drop, unfortunately it didn’t arrive in time
Nice job guys!
Trail tacos!!!! Brilliant!
Oooh. : )
Excellent!
Hey Kevin, do you feel that the x-therm is a better pad at winter temps than the tensor? I have the same tensor version that you have and took to 20f on bare frozen ground. I was toasty and think I could take it much lower before I would be cold due to the pad. I really enjoy and appreciate the work you guys put into the channel.
Both were warm and worked fine; however, x-therm is warmer!
Where did you get those tops with the tie hoodies?
metal whistle in the winter you are a badass
😳
Dammit boys! You gotta actually bury the water completely in the snow. Not just insert it bottom exposed. 🙄
We’ll learn eventually!
Why doesn't anyone use a pulk for winter backpacking?....or snowshoes? .... Just curious. I learned TONS about winter backpacking on a trip here in MI when temps got down to -22* All the best to you all
Chuck the Mauler
Honestly not enough snow. Also, the actual trail was decently traveled and you didn’t need snow shoes (we don’t have any anyway)
Great video.
I drink spotted cow every time I camp Wisconsin!!!!
Nice!
Bonus Points...Bonus Points!!
I'm sure it was a nice trip, but that section of the IAT is only really good for day hikes...way too busy. If you want to enjoy the IAT you need to head up north west of there. You can hit decent stretches of remote trail.
Nice. Dude, you gotta bury or pile the snow on top of your water bottle. You were too shallow. Now that you know how camp in easy winter, come for real winter camping in MN.
Next time we’ll do better!
Gets ready for a Restless Outdoors video...
At work right now
This is kinda like a Marvel comic book crossover issue. Only it’s youtube backpackers.
Campfire? or not? That is the great question
Sometimes laziness wins
SBO welcome back to WI
Oh my god, I was with you until I saw that tortilla sitting directly on the shelter bench... DO NOT eat off those benches. I live in the area and these shelters are infested with mice. Idk if they're there in the winter, but I know in summer you can catch a disease from breathing in the dust in the shelters. Just be careful, try not to kick up too much dust in backpacking shelters and treat the benches as if mice were just on it. FYI Mice dont pee like you and I, they are always expelling some, they leave a trail wherever they walk.
that 's "battening" down the hatches, not battering.
Lol Kevin needs some English lessons
Dan Becker needs to take lessons from you guys.
Awesome dudes. The ice age trail looks great! Disliked for Dan becker that dude sucks
Ahh come on! You’re comment started off so good too
@@SchillBrothersOutdoors haha that trail has been on my list for sometime and i have never been. very cool to see you guys go there!
