One of the things that scares us most, is getting stuck in our comfort zone. Part of the reason we decided to take this journey into the wilderness was to force ourselves out of our comfort levels, and this week we really put ourselves to the test. We did that by trekking through the snow for 24 hours to find a tent that gets hot, hence its very apropos name, the "hot tent." We're going to spend the night in freezing -25 degree weather in the rugged backwoods of Canada. And for that to work, we need a place to lay down, shelter from the elements, heat to avoid hypothermia, food, water and a place to go to the bathroom. Thankfully we had Tal and Mads to keep us company (if you missed it, watch how they surprised us here: • There’s Someone In Our... ). The tent may seem simple in its construction: canvas walls, zipper front door, sleeping pads on the roof, a cast iron stove that will keep us alive, hardwood floors, and a small pantry with the essentials (are playing cards and popcorn essential? We think so)! As anyone who's ever camped before knows, having a raised floor can make a world of difference from the elements and potential critters in the woods. And since we had our cameras set up, it turns out that we weren't alone (if our short brought you here, watch until the end)! After a quick testosterone boost by chopping wood, we were ready to make our vegetable stew dinner and settle in for the night. The key to keeping a hot tent, well, hot at night is to keep lots of kindling around to quickly feed the fire when it starts to go out. We use birch when we can because it's super light, easy to peel, and basically paper in its most natural form. We were running low on water, but the great thing about being in the snow with a cast iron stove, is that you can always boil what's around you to have more to drink! But just as we were falling asleep, we got awoken by an uninvited guest--a Eurasian ermine, also known as a stoat, which is a type of short-tailed weasel! While they look cute, they can hunt prey up to 10 times their size and have vicious teeth. And like us, this ermine had friends in the woods because we ended up seeing at least 3 more! It was hard to fall back asleep knowing they were in the tent with us, but thankfully we made it through the night and are stronger for the wear.

I am on the path to regain a healthier life! Yesterday I worked out 1.5 hrs and that’s twice as long as I usually do. I just keep thinking 🤔 try to be consistent daily exercise and eat as clean as possible. My teen is a Vegan 🌱 and it’s helped me try new recipes. We all need to focus 🧘🏻♀️ on what our bodies, minds, and spirits can DO and not how we look. Your videos help me stay positive! Thanks a million! XOXO 😻😽♥️From the Feline side of the Pack 🐾
Polar dip 😍! We like to do them once a year but I feel like I should try it more often haha!
Good topic. Anything cold weather ❄️is outside my comfort zone and my Winter hikes are a challenge.🔥
I started teaching a college course. Talk about stress.
Adventure down under my house 200 feet down under the cliffs … scary but beautiful… Rock Climbers Paradise. Daniel Boone National Forest. Third Top Climbing Area in the World…Near Red River Gorge AKA Climbing The Red. You Go Girl ♥️👍🌈 It is amazing down there. Unbelievable! Out of my comfort zone because so I couldn’t go all the way. I did go a ways alone but like I said scary Bears and wild creatures down in the forest. They gave the rock walls (they is the forest service) back to the land owners after the Rock Climbing coalition’s took it too court , so now I own some beautiful rock climbing walls.
It’s like going down into little red riding hoods forest, you think the big bad wolf is behind every tree. Or was that the three little pigs who faced the wolf? Anyway It was out of my comfort zone.❌
Appreciating the simple basic necessities. Understanding the challenges the earliest settlers faced.
It’s an ermine.
Weasel, not a rodent
Symbol of tenacity, resourcefulness, and perseverance especially through challenging situations, as they can survive the harshest conditions.
It’s a blessing to see them. They won’t harm you, just looking for scraps and warmth in the cold
I LOVE THIS. We actually feel so lucky to have seen one apparently it’s rare!
I LOVE THIS. We actually feel so lucky to have seen one apparently it’s rare! They are not vicious unless provoked. I was worried with Bella and Izzy they may chase them and of course they would feel threatened. They are good for keeping the mice and rat population in order. Thank you for sharing💛
Just the comment I was looking for! Carnivora, Mustelidae. More closely related to say otters and even raccoons taxonomically and phylogenecally than anything in rodentia.
Favorite parts; Crystal unphased. I'd be the same way, go back to sleep. 2nd, Jaz, your piece about the light, and just trying to get out of bed, and that the sun will shine on everyone. That was beautiful. Definitely felt that.
so happy we found wild gals like you to call friends 🧡
p.s. raw potatoes are weird and you won't convince us otherwise!!!
Jazmyn, raw potatoes are WEIRD AND not tasty!
Raw potatoes are the best
Was making some fried potatoes to go with my eggs for breakfast so I thought, I'll try a raw piece for Jazmyn's sake.
Umm, sorry Jaz, even with salt it's bad 🤢 but you are still loved and appreciated.
Raw potatoes contain solanine and lectins, two compounds that can cause gastric distress and potentially make you sick. Additionally, raw potatoes contain resistant starch, which is difficult to digest
Raw potatoes 🥔 rule!!! Especially with 🧂...😋👍😋👍😋
"Comfort stunts our growth"... those are very wise words and the evidence of their truth is everywhere in our society today... the greatest years of growth in America were the years in which physical comfort was at the lowest...
It really does. Thanks for watching Jim 💛
Stepping out of your comfort zone is normally called an adventure. Without adventure, you would be bored out of your mind. It is embracing the unknown and being willing to experience it. Look at all the things you had to learn to do in building the cabin that were out of your comfort zones. This is what makes your channel so loved. It is an extra special adventure when you get to share it with great friends like Tal and Mads not to mention the rest of the pack. Thanks for the adventures. May you share many more too come.
Love that! Thanks Malcom :) we love sharing everything with yall
Great post!!
I love it when Jaz waxes poetic/philosophical. The chair in the forest. The sun on the snow. You're such a beautiful human :)
Aww Rixanne, thank you it means so much to me. Such a beautiful compliment. 💛🐾
Being an avid animal lover, I have to say that my favorite part of the video was watching those beautiful little ermines. When I lived in northern MN we had them too...dark brown during the summer months, turning white with a black tip on the tail in winter. I often saw them when working outside in my garage. I had one come in one day searching for whatever and I didn't even bother him . He walked up and perched on my boot, looked up at me and then went on his merry way. We also had one sneak his way into Home Depot when I worked there and he created quite the stir for some of the employees. But I still remember looking down my nail aisle as he poke his head out from between a couple boxes: him almost laughing at the hub bub he was creating.
My father has always said, growth is found at the leading edge of your comfort zone. Enjoy the growth, thank you for sharing! Much love from your NB neighbors.
We just love your father’s quote! So true, loving the growth. Thank you for inviting us into your home every Sunday. 💛🐾
My Fav Sunday Morning show! As a full time camper, estimate your wood consumption then double it.
They are not rodents they are carnivores, and certainly won’t hurt you! it’s a blessing that you got to see them, beautiful.
Omg Ermines and Least Weasels are awesome!!!! So cute.
Good to make sure pups did not engage them though, as they can be fierce.
I love when you are with Tal and Mads
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone ❤
Well said our friend. Lu lu, the growth and knowledge we learn about ourselves is such an experience. 💛🌞
@@Vanwives ❤️
We did a van build with no experience! Definitely out of our comfort zone but once we finished we felt so liberated. Just to know we built a home and it’s amazing.,,,
Yes what a wonderful feeling it is, building your own home..hard to put into words how amazing you really feel. Congratulation to you both from all of us.💛🐾
I love your comment, "comfort stunts our growth" and you are so right. Life is an adventure and until we step out to take it on, we limit ourselves. Life can be limitless so step out and enjoy the growth and adventure...we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
BTW, I'd like to make reservations for Talia's stew please 👍🏻
Can't wait for next week. Until then, be blessed. TJ & Loki 🐾
Good morning pack. .Things that go squeak and squeal in the night...Wow..Glad you had the experience and got back without bites! 🐾🐾💛💛
Hey Suzy, we had such a fun adventure. The ermines are harmless really, we were just worried that Bella and Izzy would chase them. Thanks for being part of our pack!💛🐾
When popping corn add about three tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt at the same time of dumping corn in the oil and it makes the best kettle corn Ever! It's the only way I make popcorn... I ride an electric skateboard, butt I'm just a kid, at 60 years. I may grow old, but I'll never grow up!
Love that never grow up, always have fun. Thanks for the great idea to make kettle corn. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
Crystal’s excitement eating yummy food is so pure
You are so right, she appreciates good food and is so sincere with her feelings. 💛🐾
I agree. Raw potatoes with salt are the best snack!!
I love my comfort zone. My blanket, my bed, my cats and my videogames.
Not getting out of it any time soon.
Hey happy you love your comfort zone sounds beautiful.💛🐾
Raised a litter of 13 Newfoundland puppies 🐶.quite a challenging endeavor…12 weeks of Love 🐾🐾🐾
Wow! Incredible
Embrace the discomfort! Embrace the cold! You gals have it going on! 👋🇨🇦
We sure do try to embrace every day and every season. Thanks for watching.💛🐾
Congrats Lady's on taking us on ur adventure in the woods, sleeping in the HOT TENT. The Dogs also like-it,
until the White Weasley drop-in. they will bite, but they will eat the food in the tent.
Hey Billy thanks for coming along on our adventure. We were concerned if Bella and Izzy tried to chase them. It all worked out in the end. See you next Sunday. 💛🐾
I like your comment on getting out of your comfort zone. That is exactly, what I tell my sales agents to think outside the box, and getting out of your comfort zone. Thanks for being awesome.
Hello Charles good advice. Thanks for watching.💛🐾
We have birch trees in northeast US; had one growing up. Ours had to come down so my dad chopped it up for firewood. It smelled so good burning in the fireplace!! Glad you got out of your comfort zone! Love to all you girls❣‼🐾🐾
Yay! Vanwives, and bonus Tal and Mads!! Best Sunday Ever!
Yay Colleen, we sure agree a bonus having Tal and Mads with us! We are so happy you are in our pack. 💛🐾
Nothing makes one more appreciative of all “the little things”, then stepping out of our comfort zones. You girls are braver than I when it comes to those little creatures. Sumi says woof to the pups🐾🐾💜🐾🐾 Blessings and much Aloha 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🌈
I love raw potato!! My husband thinks it's weird, so I was pleased to see someone else outside my family eating them raw 🤣
😁 YAY! Good Morning 🌞 Pack 🐾.❤
Good Morning from the pack. Happy to have you tuning in. 💛🐾
Second video this morning that discussed getting out of our comfort zone. I have plans this year just for that, I turned 60 last month and well time to start doing all those things I have been dreaming off.
Jaz, I almost commented last time you talked about eating raw potatoes!! I’ve eaten them since I was a kid and I’m 58 now. Every time my Boston Irish Catholic mother would make mashed potatoes -which was every Sunday in case you didn’t know!!-she’d give me some pieces of raw potato.
And now on the few times a year I make them, I always eat a few. Raw, white potatoes are particularly delicious. Crunchy with a naturally good flavor. I eat them straight up plain cuz they have a naturally salty flavor to my tastebuds when I eat them raw.
Glad to have found another raw potato gal. My husband looks at me like I’m inhuman when I do it!! 😂 I love them!! 🥔🥔❤️❤️
Well my friend older and wiser. I too have been eating raw potatoes since I was little my grampsy used to eat them all the time and I wanted to try and lived them.🤣 However I am hearing from our community that is is not good to eat raw potatoes because they have lectins and solanine. So I will be doing some research.
Just wanted to share with you what I have been hearing.
Thanks for being in our community.💛🌞
@@Vanwives Thank you for the warning. I have heard the same info over the years -and similar things about not eating raw cookie dough or cake batter. Not to dismiss the wisdom of being very careful about what we put in our bodies, but I do think the safety issue comes up when you ingest larger quantities than we do with a few raw potato bites or a few finger licks of dough. That being said, probably better to be safe than sorry. We can still be tatertwins in spirit! Sorry that was the best I could come up with! Stay warm & well-nourished! 😘😘
All I gotta say is you millennials are really something, in life you build to get the luxuries and the necessities that you need to be comfortable it's not about making your life uncomfortable so you can deserve the comfortable ness it's about working hard to get to that comfort level and enjoying it oh my God I would never put myself through anything excruciating if I didn't have to I live in America I don't live in Saudi Arabia where I have to make everything extremely hard sometimes I just don't understand you ladies but to each his own if it floats your boat and sail on.This so just My POV.Love u both.😘🤗🤗🐾🐾🐾🐾
Your furry girls are so good. If those Ermines were in my tent my furry boys would have knocked the whole thing down chasing them. You are right getting out of your comfort zone is such good medicine to make you realize how much you love your home. That feeling when you walk into the door is priceless. Woof woof!
Like I said on Tal & Mads page when the 4 of you get together if only for a little while all is right with the world. Thank you for taking the rest of us along.
Hey Scott, thank you for allowing us into your home every Sunday. We sure do have so much fun and laughter.💛🌞
"comfort stunts our growth" you know those succulents that get all long and stringy? Yeah that's me. What even is comfort 🥺
Crystal cracked me up again! The charcoal nose goes along with the singed hair! LOL! Crystal keep your head away from the fire or you will lose your eyebrows! Crystal you are so wise; you are absolutely correct, we become stronger and more resilient when living through life's challenges. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Gigi good advice to follow “keep my head away from the fire”! 😂
Thank you for your kind words. See you Sunday.💛🌞
This is my second comment to you guys, I think I got a reply or it was the bots of the world😊.
I’m 66, this is inspirational 🎉 to watch what you girls do😅. Enjoy. It must be the “pups” as I’m almost never without pup for all 66 years. Thanks.
Hello Stuart, this is Jazz and Crystal no bots this time. Aww thank you for your kind words! It just does not feel like a home without a fur baby. We sure do love our Bella and Izzy so much.💛🐶
Tal & Mads beat you to the punch. Now I get to see the other side of the Hot Tent video. :) Thank you,
I stepped out of my comfort zone to grow my neuromuscular therapy massage practice by taking a business course specifically designed for my profession. I am even changing my business name and raising my rates....So uncomfortable!!...but it's all worth it to live a fuller life and be taken seriously in my work. I love the inspiration your videos provide for me every week. You all rock and I wish you the best in all your adventures that help your souls grow! Big love to the Pack:) I will subscribe to Tal and Mads too. You all are so positive genuine and fun!!
Awe Natalie, so thankful for all your kind words. Our hearts are full thank you for sharing with us that we inspire you. We are so happy that you allow us to come into your home every week. The Pack is sending Big Love and Hugs Back.💛🐾
@@Vanwives You make a difference in the world!
One of my favourite quotes is “A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing grows there.” I tell myself that every time I feel like I just want to stay in my comfort zone.
Love that quote, thanks for sharing with us. We will say this quote to each other every time we get in the comfort zone.💛🐾
Love it! I'm not the only one who likes raw potatoes. So good, especially fresh dug and rinsed grom the garden.
Woohoo 💛😍😍😍
Absolutely right. Being in a comfort zone does stunt your growth. That's why I'm 6' 10".
Hahaha 🤣
Thank you Jaz and Crystal, I have never heard of a hot-tent before, talk about being out of your comfort zone, you four even make it look enjoyable.
Love and best wishes from Mike. ❤
I love living in the unknown because the norm can be way to comfortable. 🥰
It's always good to see you gals having a good time, especially with friends and family. It brightens my day. 🙂 🐾🌲🏡 💕
Not a fan of snow. Nope. Never. How am I getting out of my comfort zone today? I'm switching to tea because the coffee machine is being descaled. I'm also going to stay mindful and ask myself if each action I take is my best version of that moment. So far the answer coming back has been - I NEED COFFEE!!!!
Quite the adventure with those Ermine sharing the tent!
Feather sticks! With practice you will have a full feather with nice thin threads going up the length. It may also be the knife not letting you grt the thin shavings. Love you gals.
I've been eating raw potatoes and salt since I was a kid. Love them and love you guys.
I started to live off grid just as you do! You are a huge inspiration for me, thanks for you lovely channel ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
Well Maya, we thank you for your beautiful compliment.💛🐾
@@Vanwives You're most welcome 💪
Thank you, pack. Each week, you guys have an amazing message to share with everyone, and it just makes the start of week more special
Aww Jennifer, thank you for sharing this with us. We are so happy that you see the messages we share. We feel special to have you in our pack.💛🐾
Way to challenge yourselves and have fun at the same time! I love a good winter adventure and I admire you for getting out there and going for it. I'll never forget my first all-women camping trip. Knowing we could do it all ourselves was empowering. The ermines must have freaked you out but you handled it well!
Couldn't agree more. Slept the night in a remote village in China with hundreds of mice running over the top of me once the candles were blown out. Faced my fear of mice that night and it's made me a lot stronger.
Oh Jenise, that sure would be uncomfortable. You endured the unthinkable and were able to get thru the night. You have a powerful mindset. We are proud of you. Bravo.💛🐾
Wowza! You had all the elements for a winter horror story complete with the "Attack of The Zombie Ermine". Another great story to tell ... with no scars! Cheers all.
Haha yea 😂💛
Bravo ladies. Great friends and a wonderful experience. The fact you changed up the format a bit, speaks volumes for who you are and who you want others to see. Great job. It’s not all about the cabin and off grid living. It’s about who resides there. Stay safe, stay well.
Thank you for all your kind words. Much appreciated. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
We make sauna tents on the beach (kayaking west coast) using 9 hot rocks, heated by driftwood bonfires, 3x3 meditative sets, then jump in icy ocean. Wowza!
the structure: we build a 3 leg tee-pee + tarp and push stones into tent. 3 at a time. Enjoy!
Raw potatoes yum i love them and very healthy 😊
Great video! We have started exploring old plantation homes and farmhouses here in South Carolina. We love history. Y’all are braver than I am lol
Hey Jennifer, we believe in you, you are brave too. So cool to be exploring. Enjoy!💛🐾
AKA Slave Homes/Plantations
@@jt8142 yes, some of the properties have slave homes. It’s sad knowing how the slaves lived back then.
iam happy vanwives you all friends and the dogs made through the night to morning.
Great video as you were stepping out of your comfort zone you experienced so to speak many hands make it work. Good to see the 6 of you making it together for future memories.
Thanks David, for all your kind words. Thanks for tuning in.💛🐾
Thank you for the reminder that we should all remove ourselves from our comfort zones in order to gain a true perspective in life. Wishing you and yours a wonderful week. Was great to see you back with your friends again. All the best. Take care
Hey Nathan, it is always good for perspective and appreciation. We always seem to learn something about ourselves and it makes us a little stronger. Happy to have you in our pack.💛🐾
@@Vanwives I'm so happy to be part of the pack. I lived off grid in my early 20s. It was the most amazing time in my life. I lived on 160 acres that a friend of mine owned it had cherry trees and apple trees and a beautiful view of the mountain at the back of the property I used to have to walk 3 km one way with a wheelbarrow and water bottles to fill my fresh water and then walk back with it. But it was an amazing time in my life and watching you ladies do what you do. Inspires me every time. Wishing you and yours a wonderful week. Thank you for everything you put out into this world each and every day. All the best. Take care 🧡
This video passed way too quickly! I've never seen an Ermine before, they remind me of a ferret. They definitely are cute but you can't be too careful around them...lol
I love raw potatoes with salt too! When I was young and my mom would make French fries we would eat them raw with salt as a snack...so yummy 😋 Great video ladies 🔥😁🏕
One crazy night ! Waiting for next week.
Hey Jeff sure was one fun night. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
Took a mini sub into the gulf of Mexico it was the scariest thing I have did but I was able to check it off my bucket list
Hey Kevin, sounds so cool. Happy you took the plunge. Another tick off a bucket list feels satisfying. See you Sunday.💛🐾
Wow what an experience!! Yep get out of your comfort zone 🎉
My wife was off of work on Friday so I woke up yesterday thinking it was Sunday. I was disappointed when I realized it was only Saturday lol
Awe how sweet of you to say! Welcome to happy Sunday. 💛🐾
@@Vanwives Thank you! See you next week!
FYI I normally cut 4 cords of birch to season for a year. This harvest comes from my 12.5 acres in the Kootenays of BC. Not like the east but certainly adequate. A hot tent with pets... who would have thunk it possible. Lol
Try going up a mountain digging a snow cave and staying in it overnight. You would be amazed at how much heat a candle will give. The biggest thing is a good sleeping bag, and lots of insulation on the bottom. We used to do this as a Search and Rescue exercise every year. Part of it was to take snowmobilers and teach them survival skills.
Would love to try that! So neat you did this! Where can we sign up for this? Or can you?
@@Vanwives You have to be a active member of BC Search and Rescue, it was hosted by Prince George SAR.
I think I might have packed it up and gone home after seeing that cute but yet viscous creature. Hats off to all you for sticking it out. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and God bless love ya Nancy
We thought about it haha. Why thank you Nancy
I hope you will be comforted that the ermine is not a rodent and has been kept as pets by royalty... so you were living like the queens you are, in that hot tent!!! Glad you had a good time!
Thanks for sharing with us. Imagine here we were living like royalty. Thanks for tuning in.💛🐾
Learn to be comfortable, being uncomfortable. Tilda Swinton. Great to watch you again, after staring at 4 walls for a week, after total left hip replacement on Monday. You make the morning better, thank you all. :)
Hi Allen, speedy healing with your hip replacement. Thanks for watching. 💛🐾
I am so glad there were four of you on that hot tent camping adventure! Safety in numbers.
Hey Sharon, we are so happy our friends shared the adventure with us.
Thanks for tuning in.💛🐾
Two city gals trying start a fire while the country gals watching lol ,a Martin is just a ferret (pet) lol great video ❤❤
Every one needs to learn to make a fire, you never know when you may need to make one.😀Thanks for watching. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
What a ‘cool’ winter adventure!!! It looked like a lot of fun!!! Winter camping can be a wonderful experience!!! 🤗❤️🎶⭐️🇨🇦
Hey Kerry, so cool to embrace the winter, we have it so let’s enjoy it and have fun. Having our friends join was so fun! 💛🤗
I seriously needed to see this message about being comfortable.. Time to change a few things..
Glad it spoke to you 💛
OMG, what a reality wake up as if you needed more of that! Love you, stay strong. Peace!
Yooooo. Best one yet! I love this. I suggest your videos to my clients because of the lessons you teach. You should do more of these.
BTW, I'm getting back in the gym for the first time in years. Doc's approval. Totally out of my comfort zone.
Awe thank you for your kind words. We sure do appreciate you being in our community and recommending them to your clients. Thank you.💛🐾
Lovely that you got out camping! It reminded me of the time a mouse ran across my forehead while I was sleeping on a cabin floor ….ah life adventures
A mouse actually bit my finger while I was sleeping. First reaction: oh no rabies! Ran to the nearest hospital. Emergency staff didn't do anything. 🙄 Scared to go camping ever since! 🤭
While stationed in Alaska, my wife and I had to go through Artic Survival training. 3 days of classroom training and two days of field.
When you realise Crystal is the same age as your son, feeling like an old granny! ❤️🇬🇧
So fun! Today’s fun fact: Jaz, we have lots of birch trees on the west coast here in BC!!
You all are so brave, much braver than I would be. The six of you did very well. Those little creatures would freak me out. Great job ladies! Keep the videos coming!💛
Why thank you Marilyn. They are the cutest little creatures really, but I was concerned that Bella and Izzy may chase and then they would get vicious.
Thanks for watching every week. 💛🐾
Well, as long as you have these cute little critters you will have neither mice nor rats, so everything has two sides. Love your videos, a highlight every Sunday.
Looks like your overnight was a success. I too have pets and would be worried for their safety but honestly I would make my way out of there quickly too after the whole Forrest heard me scream (lol). Love the adventures you ladies share each week, you don't disappoint. As always sending vibes of Blessings and Love for your continued adventures on your journey together through this life.
Haha, we sure did want to kinda! Thanks for watching :) love sharing it with all of you
Good thing you only stayed one night if they'd had another to call in more friends they might have had enough to over come the more than 10:1 you each had over them.😉🤣🤣🤣 I bet both dogs have tangled with them before and learned to leave them alone as well.😉
You two inspire me so much to be the person I want to be. It's really hard to get out of my comfort zone, but watching you two helps me feel less alone and encourages me to remember what I'm capable of. 💖
Happy we could inspire you! You know what you are capable of we believe in you. 💛🐾
It’s such a vibe outside of your comfort zone ❤ ✨❤️
Yes a really exciting vibe, we sure do learn and grow outside our comfort zones.💛🐾
No internet wi fi or radio..... I'd go bonkers
Adventures often contain some elements which are uncomfortable but they aren’t always outside of your comfort zone. Sometimes being uncomfortable is just plain suffering.
Birch bark!!! Excellent fire starter. Love your videos!
You ladies sure know how to turn everything into a good time! Love the fur friends that trust you implicitly. Enjoy every moment with your friends
Ermine! LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂Sherree here from Kentucky.They like a hot tent too! Be kind to mature they are soooo cute but vicious no doubt. Best to ya! Love ya girls!
Hey Sheree, we sure do love and respect the wildlife. You are so right they were needing some place warm. My only concern was that Bella and Izzy might go after them and that would not have been good! Thanks for tuning in.💛🐾
Raw potatoes has been my favorite for years. I am 66 and have been eating them since I was little.
Hey Mary, I agree love my raw potatoes. 💛🐾
Can’t wait to see what the four of you come up with next! You’re making experiences that will last a lifetime!🙏🏼
Unexpected and wonderful…that is what this episode was! I hope we get to see the trail cam footage.
I can't believe someone else loves raw potatoes!!! 🤣 I ate them like apples when I was younger!
Tal & girl's should do a cookbook!
Getting out of your comfort zone is an awesome place to be!!
Would be great!
OMG Ermines are adorable! LOL I've read they can be aggressive, but I don't think they're much of a threat to humans, unless they feel cornered. Either way, the are still freaking adorable, but I understand the worry for the furry fam lol
These hot tents... can be huge, hot, and kitted as much or as little as you want.
you can go as small as 8x10 with them or right up to 16x24... (seriously, there are cabins smaller then that). And when you get into the 384 square foot area... you can actually break them up into "rooms", including a full bathroom.
now kitting them out, with things like propane hot water on demand heaters... you can make a bathroom with composting or cassette toilets, sink, shower, and even bathtub.
They can be double or even tripple walled" where you have an inner liner, outer canvas, and fly. This provides great insulation, plus, the frames are often heavy wood or steel. their snow loading is able to take really bad snow and ice events.
Wood stove for these are often "massive" they are not the little tent camp stoves people use, these things are BIG, ranging from 60 to 85 pounds +... with 8-12 hour burn times, putting out massive amounts of heat so you are safe even in -40 temps.
Hi guys another top video a crazy one this time but as always you's have all the safety side of it sorted out stay safe out there with your friends
Hey Colin, thanks for all your kind words. We sure do appreciate you being a part of our pack for so long.💛🐾
What a great idea Ladies, proud of y'all! Looks so cozy, beautiful tent ... 💙🌈 kisses for your adorable Girls 💖🐾🐾
