    Great video. Looked very cold. Instead of taking a large pack of the wet wipes go to Wal Mart or other drug store where they sell travel size soaps and what nots and pick up a travel size pack of wipes. They contain a dozen or so wipes in them and will fit nicely in your thigh pocket or inside jacket pocket. And when needed they're thawed or even a bit warm. I carry them when deer and elk hunting and they work great.

    • @BrooksandBirches
      @BrooksandBirches  Год назад

      Thats a great idea!! I usually prefer when I've used up most of the wipes so that way they can fit in my pocket! I'm headed up to Walmart tomorrow so I will grab a couple if I can! Thanks

    So I guess you didnt use the wet whipes 😅 Back to basics in this video . The hard wood give you a sweat hey . You dont have much snow out there , here a little north from you in Québec, we have snowtorm one after the other. If you go 2 hours north from Montréal you have more than 4 foot of snow on the ground . We had a late start with snow but are back to normal now . Thanks for the video ! Maybe you should bring back the karate to help you break your logs ;)

      I should bring back the Karate!! It didn't help doing a shoulder work out the day before I went out, not to mention having had the same saw blade on that saw since I got it. I think it's about time for an upgrade. Maybe not a winter trip but I'm planning on getting up to Lac Manicouagan one day. I see it on google earth all the time

    Burrrr, that looked cold, tho with your gear you have a fighting chance. I love the candle thingie you made. How was the trip back home? I hoped you might get a camp in there, but I know the family and friends come first. Happy New year...here in Texas we just had 4 days around lower 20's. Thats rare for us, so much time below freezing,, alot of ice too. I assume it part of that global warming trend, just the flip side of it. Any like the new gear, or new to me anyway. Thanks for taking us along. One of the last vids you did, at the camp site, did you get any hunting in, or is it too late there in the season? Bye Rob.

      As far as I know it's one of the highest R-Value pads on the market. Great for cold nights

    I absolutely love your videos. Your earlier ones were much better when you would actually talk through it just to be silent and not go through the things you have to do to make your campsite. I miss that a lot. Try to get back into it you talking through it is what always made them better than the rest.

      I'm all good thanks Doug! 2022 wasn't a very good year but I'm trying to get my groove back and find the right balance again. It was really hard for a while because the channel just stopped growing and I was working hard at it. Being an outdoor RUclipsr is a big commitment when you have a job and a family and a house. It's a full 24 hour's of your life every week to make a 20-30 minute video and then when you get put on RUclips naughty list for doing things you enjoy it really just deflates you but I'm trying

    • @Doug0utside

      @Brooks & Birches well don't blame yourself for your channel not growing. You do put out some good content. Blame it on RUclips. I hear a lot of creators complaining their channel isn't doing well. Don't let it discourage or you won't find that groove. If you can't find it, make your own.
