My two dogs, Esme and Simon camp out in the Teton Vista 1 and enjoy a comfortable night camping under the Canadian skies. We share a grouse stew cooked over an open fire in my cast iron cook set. The Can Am Defender XT Cab HD10 does a great job of transporting us all in the heated cab. Camping in a tent cot is a wonderful way to experience Canada and feel you are truly part of nature!

I want to tell you how much your videos have helped me so much.. I've been in the hospital nearly a year and recently came home.. Your videos were such a great distraction from the surgeries and countless hours of no sleep.. I really couldn't comment with all the medication I was on.. But just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It meant the world to me and Will continue to... I died when Simon got on the mat while you were blowing it up❤️❤️❤️
Thanks my friend that means a lot to me to think I made a difference in helping someone, even by just distracting them for a little while with my videos 😊. I wish you a speedy recovery and I bet its amazing to be back home once more!! 👍 Simon is so funny. He just sat on the mat and watched it inflate! 😆 Best wished Michael, Esme and Simon 🐶
Those dogs are living their best life possible!
I try to make it that way 😊
What a gem of a channel I found, camping and dogs, my cup of tea!
Thanks Chad! 👍
Good to see 3 mates out camping.
Thanks Peter!
Love the video, as always. And happy to see that Esme and Simon are appropriately kitted out for the cold weather with their jackets.
Yes they are! I actually think they like their jackets but Simon needs a new one I think.
We us chain saw, 5 ton gas wood spliter at camp 🏕 heating 1,1/2 store cabin wood stove.
I think Simon is more of an "adventurer" than Esme. They both seem very happy. Very nice video. I like the TJM Metalworks grill. Thanks!
Couldn't agree more! Simon is very bold for a small dog - Lots of character! I'm loving the TJM grill too!
Simon is a hoot, he builds a fine nest! Great camping spot and your right, that grill is perfect! Thanks for sharing. :)
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching Jacqueline! 😊
Your a very good daddy 😊😍😍😍 your dogs have a good tent to keep them warm they are so relax too 😍😍😍👍👍👍
Thank you - I try to make their lives the best I can 👍
Another good trip into the woods.
Certainly was! 😄
your doggies are so adorable, its apparent how well loved and cared for they both are, ps love the doggies thought bubbles, hilarious
Thanks Irene! 😊🐶🐶
Kudos !!! Esmee and Simon are looking great ...
Thanks Charlie! 👍
Awesome trip! I took my wife and our two Jack Russells camping....once...one of us had a great time, three of us wanted to die! Beautiful camp, I bet everyone slept all warm and snuggly!
LOL - I know that response well 😄 Its not for everyone! 👍
i always get happy when Simon gets to come along 😁
Me too! 😄
I always smile, when I watch your videos: the atmosphere is so warm and lovely 👍🐶☃️.
Thank you very much Riitta! 🎄
Wow so great winter adventure Your doggies is a very charming and funny I love them Simon ans semen😘😘😊😊😍😍thanks for sharing this beautiful video make me relax😊
You are so kind 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!
your fur babies are so cute
Thanks Phyllis - We very much enjoy each others company 😊
Thumbs up for sharing with your dogs :)
Thank you very much!
Another great video Michael I look forward to your next hot tent video.
Many thanks Ken 👍
Any adventure is a great time!
The older I get the more a chair is required in the camp
I agree! I almost put mine up but then I had those logs to sit on soooo...save me some setup / take down time 😄
I like that little cooking stand, might need to pick one up 🙂
I think Simon and I have the same sense of humour 🤣😂👍
Yea - its a nice grill set but I need to adjust it for our geographical location. It needs a "stay" to hold it upright. As it heats up the pole gets loose as the ground melts. With a simple "stay" the anchor will freeze and help support the pole part. I'll make a video 😄
What a great video. The true trials and tribulations of winter camping. The cleverness of the cartoon bubbles crack me up.
I have never slept without the cover on my Teton tent. I’d be afraid of waking up and seeing a bear staring back at me.🤣😂
Hope you got some grouse on way home.
Thanks for another quality video.
Thanks my friend! Luckily the bears are all sleeping now 😄 Wolves not so much but the dogs would go crazy if anything came close - my little intruder alarms 😉
Simon isn’t the only one looking scruffy my friend! :)
It has been a while mate, silly busy with work and now finally getting sometime to enjoy your videos.
I now what you mean! lol Hope you enjoy catching up! 😉
Absolutely love your videos and the Director is the bomb.
Thanks Michael! 👍
Esme wanted u to carry him, too. Like with Simon. Keep safe
She's a little heavier 😄
Hello Michael and esme and simon. Thankyou for a awesome video Michael. LOL i like in the beginning of the video esme keeping everything in order. Yall all take care and be safe sir. Please give esme and simon a treat to me
Glad you enjoyed it David! 😄
NOTHING like a good rib steak cooked over an open flame !!
Happy dogs indeed. I'm glad you entertained them with the fire starting. I think Simon was adding "If I had thumbs, I could help." They're both very lucky dogs, having such a good life to share.
Merry Christmas Michael.
Thanks buddy! That steak was just infused with the wood smoke and was so tender 🤤. Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄
I love the way your lovely dogs look for somewhere warm to sit. Peaceful video .
Thank you very much! They are smart when it comes to cold butts 😄
Oh man I’ve been looking for this channel for ages , I could not remember what it was called . And finally it pop up in notification
Yea - we are all getting screwed over by the algorithm. I'm pretty sure I'm missing several channels I watch and without checking them manually I'd never know! 😫
You really are an exceptional outdoorsman. I can tell you have a great respect for traditional outdoor practices but never shy away from using tech where it makes sense to. That to me is impressive! Plus the dogs are always fun to watch... Thank you for the videos !! I get happy whenever I see you have a new one posted
I appreciate that Bob! You are too kind 😊
Love the comments from the peanut gallery behind you🤣
Thanks Mindy 😄
Really enjoyed seeing both the Esme and Simon out again 👍🐶 that cook stand is pretty nice and looks quite handy. Simon always looks so happy to get out and spend time together with you and Esme outdoors
Thanks Dave 👍 It was a memorable trip 😉
I love the Esme and Simon channel! Thanks for bringing them to us Michael. :)
Our pleasure! 😊
Hi Michael, Esme and Simon. It looks like it was a perfect overnighter for everybody. The stars were so beautiful. I wonder if they could make a cover for the tent that would only be open at the top and have the sides covered? That way it wouldn’t be as cold inside the tent in case it were to get too windy. I know the sleeping bag is warm and you really don’t stay inside the tent for to long, other than sleeping. Thanks and see you on the next one.
Thanks Alice! It was a very pleasant trip!! 😊 I can use the existing cover and just keep the doors pulled back but I like to feel the cold air too 😄 If the temperature was below 0f (-16c) I would have zipped up the cover but -5c is t-shirt weather 😄 See you on the next one Alice! 👍
Great trip! Everything was enjoyable...dogs, cot tent, fire, steak, cooking stand, stars...all a lot of fun. As always, dogs were a/the highlight. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it David! 👍
Good evening Mike , [ ponder this if you will ] some prep ahead things. A camp I had and still do but years of being there. I would take in the fall and add about 2 foot of pine needles and 🍃 leafs and make it my tent size lanth and width , then cut off are white pine bows and some older xmas trees( old Grove) and use them to cover the leafs and needles. Why u ask 🤔 , well for winter camping I had a soft spot to sleep 🤭🤭💪👍👏 , snow and ice stays on pine bows . So remove the bows when u arrive at camp . And if u do it year after year the snow being heavy squeezes the leafs and needles down and over time you build up a great bass to sleep on . Just remember to cover it back up when u go home. U want a dry spot when u come back. 🤭 . I may have forgotten a few times over the years 😔😄 . Ps . I really do enjoy this spot .
That is a fine idea and good planning always pays off! Excellent tip 😄 a clean area with no snow for camping is a great gift in the winter here! 👍
Enjoyed the video. I gotta say thanks for giving me back the motivation to go back out and enjoy the outdoors. Been going through depression lately as my health has been deteriorating. Last few years my life has been dictated by my back injury I sustained from one of my previous job, chronic back pain and a pinch sciatic nerve. 3 surgeries and 8 operations later I have limited movements, can't lift more than 5 pounds. I go through 16 hours a day everyday in pain, only relief I get is when I take my meds that put me to sleep. Before watching your videos, never heard of BRP or Can-am. Only side by side I'm familiar with are the golf carts. Just walked in to my local Can-am dealer a few days ago, told myself I wasn't going to spend no more than $15k for one, ended up buying one for myself and another for family or friends to tag along with me- both a 2021 Defenders, one with the six foot bed and the other a 6x6 for the 3,000 lb hauling capacity. I ordered 2 custom mini tear drop camp trailer to be hauled by these just so I don't have to do any heavy bending over to setup a tent. All said and done, option out with full cabs, heaters, custom bed topper, tracks for both of them and a custom mini tear drop camper trailer, worth the $70k investment to get both my mental and physical health back. So much for telling myself to budget and spend no more than $15k to start,lol. Now comes the waiting and anxiety. I won't get to see it till after the new year once the build is complete. I look forward to 2021 to be able to go out and enjoy nature again and not worry about walking for less than 5 minutes and my back is ready to go out on me. Please keep the videos coming. I get to enjoy the outdoors through your videos and experience.
That is an inspiring story my friend!! I'm so glad you didn't let the injury beat you! I know the machines are expensive but they really do open up the outdoors to everyone. Combined with the teardrop trailer, that sounds like an amazing setup!! Please send me some pictures when you get them all setup! I'd love to see that! I hope the return to the outdoors and camping brings you the mental and physical improvements you deserve!! I'm rooting for you! Best wishes Michael! 👍
I grew up in an old CNR train station outside of Calgary that only had a cook stove and two potbellied stoves.. I started chopping wood when I was 5. of course it was only kindling for starting the cook stove in the summer. Chopping up old shims and ripped off shards of old lumber. Half the time I would just lean the shards up and jump on them.
Splitting is all about ax head speed, (which any baseball player knows about) Being that little I soon learned the windmill ax wind up to get the ax head moving. Pure magic for a 5 year old to watch that stuff fly apart.
The thing with the splitting ax is that we never sharpened that thing. It also why splitting axes and malls have a quickly thickend head. The point is to turn the potential downward energy of weight and speed of the ax head into divergent horizontal energy to push the grain apart and so splitting the wood.
Your other ax is like a cross cut saw it chops through the grain...It also shaves like a wood plane. But it does not convert downward speed into divergent horizontal force. You can bury that so deep in a round of wood that you'll break the handle off trying to get it out.
That is why in the old days woodsmen had a double headed ax. One of each on the end of a big stick.
Jeanne-Gord, you are exactly right and your great story explains that perfectly! 👍 An all round axe will never beat a splitting axe for dismembering logs. I see lots of RUclipsrs splitting so much wood for absolutely no reason. I split as little as possible. If I can drop a dead standing small lodge pole pine, all I have to do is chop it into 16" lengths for the stove. They burn longer left round. 😉 It's awesome to see some of the old videos of the axe tree fellers and their double bit axes!! Those guys are something special! Best wishes Michael!
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors And remember the old wood cutters adage: you;ll cut more wood at the end of the day if you stop for 10 minutes every hour to sit and sharpen your blade and rest yourself a tad.
I love it when Simon gets to go. Those dogs love you and never take their eyes off of you. Every time you use your cot tent I want to get rid of my cabellas double cot. I like the modular system of yours mine is nice but bulky and heavy. Great video as always definitely like that camp grill.
Hi Robert, I originally wanted the Cabela's double but my Honda P500 was too narrow to carry it. I ended up with the Kamp-Rite Oversized Single and it worked pretty well. I do like the TETON as sleeping with just the mesh tent is really nice. I always felt a little closed in with the Kamp-Rite but they are very comfortable!! 👍
Thanks again for a enjoyable video .Love the wise cracks for your dog friends lol !!!
Glad you enjoyed it Kenneth! 😊
The grill is awesome 👍
Thanks Klett! 👍
Those are two very happy dogs, we should all live such a life. I also have a heated cab SXS...for my Springer of course, but my area trails all shutdown for sleds sadly. There are some open for ATV but distant. I will live vicariously through your vids tho...many thanks!
Ahh that's too bad about the trails. Would they allow you if you had UTV tracks to ride the trails?
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Sadly no, its quite the situation in Ontario. Many clubs with many different systems with many different trail passes for ATV...then when winter hits The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs pretty much takes over all rights (No ATV of any kind) for most trails. There are pockets of trails for ATV in the winter but very limited. I am super jealous of your proximity to what seems like endless trails and Crown Land camping. I have a plan for some ice fishing/overnight camping on the Ottawa river when it freezes up but its not the same...I like the sense of isolation when out camping.
@@TheStealthbob Yea that's too bad. It's not like Canada doesn't have enough room for everyone interests and activities 🙄. The country is massive 😄! Luckily Alberta has lots of Crown Land and its pretty accessible even from the cities. I'll hopefully be doing some ice fishing this year and some overnight lake camps I hope! 👍
Very enjoyable video today thank you for sharing with this your dogs are so cool and fun !!! Always looking forward to more video's.
Thank you so much buddy! 👍
That photo of he stars was beautiful. That’s what I love about camping, it’s good for the soul. Thanks again for the time it takes to make these videos. I love them.
Glad you enjoyed it buddy! Yup the good old iPhone night photos. They come out not too bad sometimes! 😄 Best wishes Michael!
Oh my gosh, Mike your kids are so adorable and cute😍🥰❤️ I love that stove 👌
Thanks so much 😊
Love your videos with the dogs !
The cot / tent looks like a great combination.
Thanks DownZero! 👍
Another great video! I just came back from a 2 week camping trip myself with my 2 dogs. I used my tent but I also have this Teton set. My problem is that last year I rescued a 70 lbs pit mix, I’ve camped with her and she’s a great outdoor dog but I’m not sure how we would fit in the tent/cot because I also have a 35 lbs whippet mix although I’m only 5’4”. Maybe I’ll bring the Teton and a tent in case we don’t fit 😂🤷♀️. Dogs just love camping and being a 64 year old woman by myself they’re great protection even if is just the looks, the pit is such a sweetie but the size could be intimidating. Anyhow I have time to think about it since I’m in California and the forest is all closed down because of the fires. Again thanks for your videos very relaxing.
Hi Carmen! LOL that might be a tight squeeze with the 2 dogs 😄 I know what you mean about having dogs around for protection. Even though my dogs are small they are great "alarms" and can see and hear things I cannot. I know TETON does have the VISTA double (tetonsports.com/product/vista-2-quick-tent/) that might work for all of you! 👍 Best wishes from Canada!
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors thanks for the reply, the double one won’t do because of space in the car 😢. I guess I’ll just bring my 4 men tent where we all fit. Both my dogs need to be with me because one is 13 and I’m committed to enjoy the last years of his life, the other protects my old buddy and myself.
Hello Michael, Esme and Simon!! Another awesome video! Thank you for letting Esme and Simon speak their minds , they have some very constructive and entertaining comments ..hahaha! Now about the fire lighting part ....I could almost imagine Simon jumping off the cot with a Bic lighter in his paw saying ," Step aside human slave , I will show you how to start a fire in 2020"
I think that when everything goes perfectly right during a camping trip, then something must be wrong....hahaha.
Take care and don't let Simon wander to far away from you , I wil spare the details but a friend of mine had a painfully bad experience with this.
Hey Stéphane - Glad you enjoyed the video! 😄 I'm very mindful of Simon's wanderings. I have lost him once in the forest for about 30 minutes 😬 very nerve racking!!! I don't let him out of my sight anymore and I'm considering a bluetooth tracker for his collar!
Love the video's, I actually have 3 overgrown pups (90+) that I plan on taking winter camping this season. I just picked up the White Duck's Canvas Tent and Packer Stove. As you can imagine I really can't fit all 3 on a cot, so I picked up a second Mini Canvas tent for the pups with a Mr heater buddy.
That is awesome! I bet they will love it! 👍 Let me know how the new tent works out! 😉
Wow, great axe head test. The splitting wedge really performed.
Agreed! I didn't remember it being "that" good - but side-by-side its a clear winner over the Wetterlings for splitting 👍
Micheal, Esme and Simon, always a pleasure to see you all together enjoying the great outdoors. I like that grill set, I may need mine to be bigger for bigger steaks, lol. It must have been real nice to see the stars at night. Do you ever get to see the Northern Lights? Well, always a pleasure to accompany you guys on an outing.
Our pleasure John! I guess you like your steak Texas style! 😄 Huge! We do get the northern lights but I haven't seen them yet this year. I love the green and pink aurora. Its just amazing to see them in person!! We are very lucky! 👍
I like the fact that you are kneeling when using these smaller axes. Much less chance of follow-through and driving the edge into your legs.
Exactly - I'm really not a fan of the full length axes for this type of camping. It's not like you are splitting cords of wood. A smaller axe is safer with much more control, especially working on snow. Last thing I need is a deep axe wound miles from the closest source of help! 👍
Smooth! Simon is excuse for thirty grand heated side-by-side! Either wife is gullible or Sweet! You are my everything!!!!
I had to talk Simon down from buying a helicopter - I got off lightly!!!! 😁
Looks the grill could hold 3 grouse, one for each of you. Great gift!
I think so too! Just got to catch them pesky things 😄
Hi Michael, I always really enjoy your videos! Stunning scenery, great reviews, lovely support cast and a warm camera presence even in sub zero temps! Like you I'm ex RAF, was based in Cyprus for 5 years, and lucky to have spent 6 weeks in Goosebay during my time in amongst other dets/postings. Nice patch on your jacket, Per Ardua Ad Astra! Stay safe and lots more videos please
Thats awesome! I did a couple of detachments in Akrotiri and loved the island and the rich history! Plus the bars and the brandy sours 😆 I never got to Goosebay but I know it gets cold there too! Glad you liked the patch - I made it on my laser cutter as a test 👍 Per Ardua Ad Astra! Bets wishes Michael!
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors the patch looks great, even better for making it yourself! Ahh yes the Aki Arms, 10 brandy sours and a free t-shirt 😁 so what trade? Do you ever have problems with the wildlife when your out? In Goose I saw signs of Black bears and here in Poland we have a lot of wolves in the area I live. So how do you deal with it?
@@Mikeew69 I lost many brain cells in Cyprus! 🥴 I was a Propulsion Engineer working fixed wing later rotary. How about you? And how did you end up in Poland? The area I camp, we only have black bear and cougars that I worry about but that's better than grizzlies!! Thankfully the bears are in hibernation now so just the cougars and wolves are my buddies now 😄 The way I deal with it is to be very very tidy with food and burn everything after a meal. Leave nothing that can attract animals. I also "P" around my camp entry points as a warning, incase something comes around. Not sure if this works in reality but I've never had a camp visitor that I can attest too in the many years of camping in forests. 😉 Best wishes Michael! 🇨🇦
Excellent video!! You are getting continually better at it that is for sure!! I purchased a TJM’ large fire anchor back in Sept to use at my cottage near Algonquin and purchased the small one as well with an extra hook and a pan support to include in my knapsack or ATV camping. They emailed me on Thurs sending it on Friday. Whoda thunk!! First found out about them on Simon A Bloke in the Woods! Interested in what anchor ‘stay’ you will invent!!
Thanks Brad! I really like the fire anchor too - and used it on the last video (12th Dec) and it worked great! Its potable enough to carry and makes it so much easier for fireside cooking 😉
Why don’t you tube notifications work man missed loads of videos. And yes the bloody 🔔 was on. Watching from Birmingham uk. Great videos
I know right! I work hard making the videos and they don't even pop-up for people who have already subscribed and want them.....Just soul destroying for me.....😭
Just love your videos! This is my first seeing Simon so now I want to watch all the vids I miss! I am trying to talk my daughter into going winter camping with me for company every now and then! Lol Does your wife ever go with you and the pups? That would be a awesome adventure! ❤Much love🐾🐾❤
Hi Carla, I'm sure your daughter would love it! My wife does come out on rare occasions but she doesn't like the cold 😄 - I'm a little protective of her privacy too, so I don't really film or post about those trips 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors thats awesome! Privacy is a good thing! You need moments alone. My husband started filming for his channel and he feels the same about me! Loving your trips and the pupps too!
Laugh Michael, for you and the two robbers, one steak is far too little, or one has too little.
Greetings from Frankfurt and stay healthy
Thanks Gerold! 😄 More steak for all of us please! 🥩🥩🥩
@@TheEmporiumOutdoorsMichael, I had almost 10 years a good 80 - 85 kg Mastin, shoulder height 86 cm and in addition a Mini Bulli lady.
Oh yes, in the evening late there was often grilled fish, or a few sausages, I was always the loser.
Greetings from Frankfurt and stay healthy
@@geroldknoebel2402 Thats awesome! 😄
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Michael, Leon our Mastin went over the Rainbow Bridge in 2016, he was waiting for me to come back from a chemical plant in the north of Germany. Yes and still today I have tears in my eyes when I think of him. He was not only a great dog, he was a great friend. Yes, such a dog and friend, you have only once in a lifetime. God be with him.
I love hearing the sounds of you and the dogs crunching through the snow and how different it sounds when you're whistling and calling your dogs over the snow - brings back happy memories for me. I plan to get out into the snow again with my grandchildren this time ☺️
Do you ever use doggie boots/shoes for Simon and Esme, or just the jackets? Just wondering, because I can't imagine my dog letting me get them onto him, but I think he would tolerate a jacket okay.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 😊 I love the snow when its all clean and fresh - its like another world! I do have some booties for Esme but she hates them too. I use "Mushers Wax" on their feet. It keeps them protected from the ice and wet and they don't mind it at all. I small tub lasts for a long time 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoorsThanks for that information, never heard of Musher's Wax!
Lol the producer is keeping you in check during the intro.
I know right! 😄
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors they sure do put there two sense in like when your starting the fire 🤣
Hi Michael another great video and adventure, I know you review a lot gear and was wondering if you have ever looked at Kodiak Canvas sleeping bag systems, they look like pretty innovative and very well built bags from all the reviews I have seen, in fact I have yet to find a negative review, but I was wondering if you have come across them and what do you think?
Hi Marque, I haven't seen any Kodiak Canvas sleeping bags personally but after reviewing their website they look very interesting! I have a Woods -45c sleeping bag similar to this one (www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/woods-yukon-10-sleeping-bag-45c-0765526p.0765526.html). It's kinda the same but it has 3 layers that zip together. I think you will find the Kodiak very comfortable and I liked that shoulder flap thing! Let me know what you decide and if the Kodiak is any good! 👍
Hey I don't know if you know this but I think your dogs are out to get you,I believe after watching this video there plan was to get that steak and you get the dog food I saw there thougts and they be a brewing up trouble 😂👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I knew it!!!!! 😂 Its only a matter of time before they dispose of me and ride off with the Can Am!! LOL 👍
This was a totally awesome video with the dogs Michael. Your balloon captions are spot on. Had me laughing hard. I don’t know if I ever heard you answer this or not but where does the name Esme come from? I’ve never heard of that name before until I started watching you.
Thanks Jacqueline - it was just a fun trip with the 3 of us 😊 "Esme" is an old French word for much loved 🥰
Nice camp grill 👌 . Let's smoke cover meat . Doggie foot warmers halp. Arth
Very true Arth!
Like we say in australia two dog night or really cold 4dog night hahaha
Yup - You got it! Little heaters in fury packaging 😉
When will the tracks go back on? Also I am a huge fan of black rifle coffee, blend of choice?
Hi Steve, Just waiting for the snow. Its late this year and although I could put them on anytime, getting around with wheels is much faster! 😉 BRC stopped supplying to Canada now 😭 But I do have a few bags left. The blend was "Canadian as F**K, Eh" - lol 🇨🇦😄
Another great video. Is your cot the Cabelas xxl? I have the Cabelas cot would the Teton work on it as well? Do you prefer the Teton over the Cabelas Deluxe Tent Cot? Appreciate your help and experience!
I believe the Cabela's XXL is made by TETON and they look identical to some of their models. The Cabelas Deluxe Tent Cot is made by Kamp-Rite. If you already have the cot I would personally get the TETON Vista 1. I like you can use the TETON setup as a cot, cot tent or just the tent. The Kamp-Rite is just a cot tent 🤷🏻♂️. Hope that helps!
Are there any snakes during snow season? When you were reversing your vehicle, Simon and Esme was behind, kinda scary. Overall, great video.
We don't get many snakes this far north but they do hibernate when the temp drops. I'm always mindful of the dogs when maneuvering. Esme is pretty smart but Simon is older and let likely to pay attention. Better to take the time to check where they are first 😉
Why didn't you show the part where you three ran down the moose, killed it and chopped off the steak, Mike? :)
How did you know!!! 😯 - LOL
You had a pretty tough audience whilst you were making the fire 🔥
LOL - they are so hard crowd to please 😄
Love your videos, question, what was sleeping bag? Is it a teton too looks like either the outfitter xxl or the farenhit?
Hi John - that was the TETON Sports Celsius XXL Sleeping Bag and its the -32c (-25f) model 👍 I think I have a link in my amazon store of you need it!
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors thanks, I was looking at the sleeping bags , I love my cot, and tent system. Just need to pull the trigger on the bag.. just couldn't decide on witch model I like the width just concern about the length they seem to long for the tent cot set up.. Happy Holidays.
Last post I swear. I think I might have seen some of the Tesla satilites going in a straight line on your photo. Have you noticed that belt they have started to form in the sky? I saw a news report on it the other night and sure as S* if you nlook yeah its there. Not sure how I feel about that continous belt that its forming in the sky.
Could well be - I've seen them soon after deployment but not noticed them once they are dispersed. We as long as it works and is affordable, I'm good with it. It means I can move to the forest and work from there! 😉
I wonder if you could tow a motorcycle tent trailer behind your vehicle, or would it be too difficult in the snow? I think it would be cool to take a Ural motorcycle in the area you are at.
Yup that would work - I've thought about it many times and even about building something. The ultimate is to get a Can Am Defender Pro 6x6 and build a camper in the 6ft box 😄
You know with all the firestarter kits out there now I'm surprised there isn't some quack out there selling people small birtch bark firestarting kits for 10 or 20 bucks a pop. 😂
And making a furtune off it BTW cause its amazing the stupid stuff people will buy in the name of survival.
LOL - Let's go into business Logan! 😉 But seriously you are completely right!
mike , the vista-1 will it fit on the Teton Outfitter xx cot ?
Indeed it will, the TETYON XXL Outfitter cot is what it's designed for 👍
Its been so unseasonably warm in Western Canada this year I swear I smelt a skunk outside my bedroom window here in Yorkton Sk. last night. And I've noticed th Deer being much more active than usual. Have you noticed any animals out in the bush you don't normally see this time of year?
We are getting the same - animals are confused I think too. Lots of deer movements - normally they are slowing down a bit by now. With the mild weather, I know we will pay later with lots of snow!! as always 😄
Question about the Teton. I was watching Ross Kemp: In afganistan (and return) and British troops were using a similar system on theit cots in their base shelters (assuming it was to keep the bugs out). Do you know if the Teton setup the same sytem? Just wondering.
Oh and the pic of Simon as a camera dog. 😂 I can't remember have you ever put one of those gopro setups on esmay as she runs along with you in the bush?
Hey Logan - I think those are the popup shelters they use for jungle and desert areas. They are pretty slick! The TETON Vista has the fibreglass legs and they are pretty sturdy! I should do that with Esme - great idea! 😄
Roflmfao. ...that's the kind of days I've had
Hahahaha 😄
How old are your Dogs?🐶
Esme is 7 Simon is unknown but I think he's about 11+
Ah that fake call was mean! Just think my friend. .when their intelligence sure passes you!
Too funny 😄
Ha your dogs are mocking you behind your back
You know it 😄
And I thought you are vegetarian..
I was for about 3 years but decided to eat limited meat again. I just wasn't feeling great as a full-time veggie diet. The idea was to hunt my own meat but I haven't been lucky for the last few years 🤔 I'll return to eating only my own meat as soon as I can!!
