    Had to stop and comment about the phone bag- I made one, too, last December for going snow tracking. Made out of felt, and made the rim out of alum tawed squirrel skin ( I tanned it a while ago). I hang it around my neck to keep the phone warm, and store a stylus for making GPS location and notes on tracks we see on the app we use. Best thing ever! So when you mentioned yours, I had to laugh, because until someone told me to get a neck pouch to keep my phone warm, I had not thought of that! And rather than buy one, I had to make one. Of course. 😂

    Shug, This is BillyBob58. You are your usual mind blowing self. I love it! You once gave me a great honor/shout out by calling me "the Potentate of the Pea Pod", or something like that. Now I am, at least partly based on your adventures, using a Superior Gear 30F hammock. And eyeballing one of their comforters. Now you, Sir, are the unquestioned Potentate of the insulated hammock! Thanks for the report on yet another spectacular trip!

    13:19 Your shout of "Oh, Glory!" made me instantly envious for that unique feeling of satisfaction! So many of life's pleasures are intertwined with negatives, and enhanced by adversity. I know how good a sip of hot coffee feels on a cold day, but few people know how it feels after a -31 F night, when it's still that cold. I need to get back outside and face some adversity to make my coffee taste better!

      I live in oak park, go camping or backpacking in Wisconsin every weekends. It’s getting warm, really feel like driving up north to enjoy winter more before it’s gone.
      But Can’t drive too far from Chicago every weekend because of work and school.

    When you have the right gear and techniques, the cold isn’t too bad especially with no wind. The solitude of winter camping is worth the effort. The trees really pop away like firecrackers when the temps drop. Nice place, great camp and video. I love your equipment

    I was born in northern Minnesota and have lived here the majority of my life with proximately 15 years where I lived throughout the United States in much warmer climates. I was always accused of being Canadian because of my accent but as the years went on, and from living down south and east my accent wasn't as strong. Thank goodness. My kids, who are adults now, enjoy making fun of me for certain words that I say with a mixture of a Southern and Eastern accent. Oddly, I don't know how, but you pick up accents without trying. There were many natives in my high school, and they were my friends and I picked up of their some of their accents as well. Which made me stick out like a sore thumb wherever I moved later on. As I watch you camp and Traverse Minnesota in the winter, which is the majority of the year. I admire you as I don't do well in the low temperatures and even though as a child I spent a lot of time outside during the cold Winters... I know that I could not take it anymore. Anybody who has lived in northern Minnesota or Minnesota at all knows what it's like when you step outside and you take in a deep breath your nostrils stick together. As children, we used to have fun by taking a pan of hot water during the winter and walking outside with it, and tossing it up in the air to watch the hot water vaporize in the air before it even comes close to hitting the ground. Now, that is cold. When it is way below zero and the wind chill is even further below zero, any Exposed Skin that is left out 4 for 20 minutes, it will without a doubt get frostbitten. That's why you see people covering their faces and barely even seeing somebody's eyes. The moisture from your breath on your face mask eventually causes a problem in getting a proper breath of air. I remember ice-fishing even in dark houses but also outside by a hole. It was miserable. I have frostbitten my fingers and toes many times. Layers layers layers but it's hard to have layers on your fingers and toes. I admire you for taking on the cold cold winter of Minnesota.
