Never take safety lightly when you're in the wilderness🔥I broke several of my own rules, so I have no excuses for what happened. Share a wilderness preparedness tip below. You never know who you might help with it someday :)
yes sir you are the best
god bless
Just a thought, but you might want to consider putting off road tires on your truck, they’d be a lot better than the street tires.
Love your vids and energy
You definitely need tractions boards as well. There’s plenty of off-road or snow related truck gear you need
Leif, I am a career military man and I have eaten my fair share of MREs. I can tell you first hand that the heaters don't always work, but when they do, it's a game changer. You do have to exhibit a little more patience than what I saw in this video and I can show you how to do it. Firstly, don't put more water than is needed as you did. Secondly, and this is where the patience comes in, place the MRE and the heater in the same compartment that the meal came in with the heater on the bottom. Lastly, lean it against a rock on an angle and let the heater vent. Go catch a trout and in 20 minutes, you'll have a meal and a great story to share!
If the heater doesnt work and you have a way to boil water, you can always just leave the food pouch in simmering water for a bit to heat it
Also the crackers are best crushed in the pasta!
Next time you get stuck in the snow try your car mats under the tires.
Like wtf. Did he special order all the best mres. When I was in that shit was hit or miss mainly they were horrible tho🤣🤣and wtf if this crap. Mint peppermint ring. Tf kinda robbery is that. Kinda mad about that😢😢
Lean it against a rock * or something *
I love how you were straight up and honest about making a simple mistake that had a big impact honesty goes a long ways lots of respect for you Leif stay safe
I think this proved what all of the experts always say: a combination of several mistakes can lead to disaster. Leif learned a lesson. (I would also reccommend that when alone, do not go walking on branches & logs above water. One slip and you can land in the water, or twist/break an ankle, even hit your head. If you are alone, that might be all she wrote. seemed like Leif was trying to force it a bit, in order to find the fish).
Love your transparency and humility to post thr tough experiences! Enjoyed the video
Definitely a humbling experience! Hope it can help someone out. Definitely going to work on my vehicle self recovery skills!
Glad you made it out safe man. I think it’s time to outfit the truck as an overland rig. Small lift, bigger better tires, recovery gear (winch, traction boards, tow ropes, onboard air, SHOVEL)
Specifically some Goodyear duratracs, easily the best tire in the snow 🔥
You should be really proud of yourself for taking on the farm project with everything that goes in to it - and still making excellent stuff for us to watch every week. Kudos, L.
Thank you, it definitely feels like I bite off too much sometimes but there's so much I want to learn and do haha!
@@NWFishingSecrets I know you can do it! And asking for a bit of help never hurt anyone. ;-)
Can’t wait to fully watch this leif. I was the guy who sent you the coffee and salt last year. Just wanted some advice from you or any European who moved to America and all I wanted to know is was it hard to do in the way of leaving your family but also getting a citizenship or green card. Fish on baby ❤❤❤
Hey!! Thank you so much for sending that. I just enjoyed the last of the coffee this winter!! ☕️ And I was born in the US so had US citizenship even though I lived in Germany my whole life. When we moved here I remember things being a lot tougher for my mom. She's Danish and got an H1B visa I believe. It's a worker's visa. But it took several years of applying and you need a company in the US that wants to hire you. It's totally possible, you just need to want it enough. From there, you apply for a Green Card, then citizenship. Hope that helps!!
just cross the border with Mexico. they'll fly you where ever you want to go and give you free cash and phones.
@@NWFishingSecrets Thankyou so much for the help. Your the best man
Hey there, just wanted to give you my 2 cents. I'm born/raised here, but my fiance is from the Philippines and I have friends from Portugal, France, Germany...etc. Getting a green card has been extremely difficult for all of them, sadly. What makes it more difficult is once you're approved, you most likely will get on a wait list, and then at that point you can't leave the country because you would be in limbo between visa and greencard.
@@MrFowl Thankyou very much for that information you don’t know how much that helped. I’m Irish and although I’m only 15 I’ve been wanting to live in America all my life. So whatever info I get really really helps. Thankyou again
Nothing is better than a new episode after a long days work ! Thanks NWFishingSecrets!
Enjoy!! 🎣
I got in from work and watched this. Bro you are one of my favorites. Fish on baby.
Have a great evening! Fish on baby! 🎣
Man I’ve been in the hospital this brings me some happiness finally.
Get well soon 💪🏻
@@syedwasi4078 thanks 😊
Wishing you a steady recovery! I'll keep the adventures coming for you 🎣
@@NWFishingSecrets thanks 😊
I'm in the hospital right now, seeing Leif's newest video really lifted my outdoor spirits. Thank you Leif NWFS
Wow what a great lesson and reminder for me and my boys! Thank you for being humble enough to share this and let others learn from your mistakes! It might save someone’s life one day😊
SOOOOO PUMPED. Thank you for making my Friday. Now to enjoy this video
Enjoy and happy weekend!! 🎣
Great video again Lief. A few things… 1: next time, air your tires down to about 10 PSI which helps greatly in snow. You can always put air back in the tires at the gas station. 2: Build a base for your fire with some bark or more sticks. It will help keep the fire out of the snow and push the heat up.
Honestly the only fishing RUclipsr I can watch all day!
Had this happen to me and my girlfriend a couple weeks ago in Iceland with a small camper. All we had that we could use to dig was a small frying pan and its lid, no shovel or gloves. It was towards the end of the day with a snow storm closing and temps dropping fast. After 4 hours of hacking away and digging and many layers of skin gone off my knuckles with a beautiful sunset, we gave it one last go as the last bit of light disappeared and we got it moving. To say we were relieved was an understatement.
So much respect for you being a real man. Educating all the time, on top of everything else.
The great entertainment and knowledge on top of being completely honest.
Your vids..... ❤
the second you mentioned the pouch i paused and order it. Super happy to try it out and support more of your videos!
It's always amazing to see that somebody is nice enough to leave cameras everywhere for you and gives you the footage.
Chains, come-along with extra cable, shovel, handyman jack, jack stands with small pieces of plywood, sleeping bag, food, lighter, newspaper, tool kit, full-size spare tire, tire inflator, warm clothes, water and filter, bow saw or chain saw. Seems like a lot but we have had to use each and everyone over the years. I am sure other fans will have more to add, too. Thanks for sharing another fun adventure!
That is an absolutely solid list of items... Will be sure to share some of those! 🎣
Kitty litter is another great thing to keep with you, just throw it in a toolbox or keep it in a watertight bag in the bed of the truck. Helps in place of finding gravel for traction. I use rigid molle panels mounted to the back of my seats w/ flashlight mounts, radio mounts, first aid, etc. But also keep a decent LiFePO4 battery charged up in the truck. Works great, and I just keep one always in the truck, overkill for just cell phones but I keep a 300wh battery with me because you can charge a tire inflator or jumpbox with it.
@@vaerontv The unscented clay kitty litter, that is. It also is good for ice on steps.
@@Pernoctateabsolutely, sorry should have clarified.
You know what I would like to see?
A background story of Lief introducing himself.
I been watching NWFS for the past few years and I have gathered that.
He loves shooting.
He loves wearing that OCP Boonie.
He has gotten a hold of MRE's.
Grew up in Germany.
Outdoor survival expert and advice.
My question would be.
Are you veteran? Did you serve in the Military? Have family that's in the Military?
Love your work Lief! Keep it up! Learned lots from you!
Man had a very similar experience in the Owyhee Mountains in Idaho. Went out for what was supposed to be a few short hours in early Spring. We were ready to leave, went to turn around in what looked like a normal expanse in the road and ended up in what was a hidden spring runoff. Got stuck in a Ford Explorer in complete sucking mud up to the running boards, absolutely nothing we could do to dig it out despite massive efforts on our part. Luckily there were some snowmobilers out there tooling around and their rigs were parked just a ways down from us. Started a fire and waited for them to come back, and once they returned they were able to bring their truck over and pull us out. Same situation though...should've been more prepared, and we were lucky there was someone else we were able to count on. Definitely a lesson learned. Went out minimally prepared thinking we were just out for a minor jaunt into the wilderness. Have to always go out into the wilderness prepared for any situation beyond what you are expecting!
Man that’s a wild but good experience! Funny how the wilderness can humble us easily 😂 Glad they were able to help you guys out and totally - we gotta be prepared for more than we think we’ll get ourselves into. Fish on!
Awesome! Thanks for taking us along up to the mountains for nearly an hour of NWFS goodness.
Im so glad that you make realistick videos and dont cut the «fails» away🙃it can really show how much it means by having someone to help you and friends is really helpfull😀keep up the good work my guy🔥
Nice to see that ruger is doing good, when you introduced her to us she was scared and shy and now look at her go!
Overall another great video🎉
Ive grown to like this Chanel a lot. His videos are so clear
Fish on baby. Loving the uploads! Much appreciated boss
Thanks for enjoying! Fish on baby! 🎣
I’d recommend having the seed at least a inch in the ground other wise they will struggle with moisture. These videos always take away the stress and appreciate the consistency.
Great episode showing how it ain't all fun n games out there and things can turn serious when we least expect it. One of your best Leif, thanks.
You sharing the not so good parts of your trips surely does help us prepare as well, but the only thing that I do religiously before any trip is I fill up the tank and top off when I have the chance. I'm glad you made it out safe and yes friends and neighbors are awesome to have!! After watching this video I already know what I am missing and will add to my truck.
Wow, glad you made it ok!
My dad, who used to climb Mt Rainier and offroad in his International Scout in the 70s, always told me to keep it in 2WD on the way out, then if you get stuck, 4WD to get unstuck and turn around.
Thanks for sharing! That spring slush is the worst for driving, I had never had a problem in snow (with great tires) until I slid out on a river access road. Like you said, having people around or available to help is crucial, thankfully I wasn’t alone so I could push/rock the car out of the ditch while my buddy drove, but alone I would’ve been completely stuck.
I don't know why I haven't found your channel before but I love your videos so much It is now basically routine to watch one of your vids before sleep, keep up the good work and efforts you make everything even more amazing with your personality ❤❤
Turning around is always the hardest part. I’ve done a lot of stupid things in the name of fishing. My truck has its own survival kit including glove, avalanche shovel, air compressor, battery jump box, tow rope come along, tire plug kit. Each piece was added after learning the hard way. I’m 53. Doing what you’re doing I would also get some off road tires. Thanks for showing us!
That was really interesting and human that sometimes things go wrong, and then you realise you've made mistakes, yet you were just honest about it and clearly made the right call to get help.
I hope your neighbour got a good bottle of something expensive and tasty!
Great show thank you for sharing it with us. You got to be prepared for everything. Have a great day.
Thanks for posting. Always excited to see another one of your videos.
Righ on. Glad you are safe and thanks again for the care package. Fish on baby.
Finally! Something great on tv Friday night! Fish on baby!!
Great episode as always man! Most of us have been there if you go off road. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 🍻
Cool for you to own up to it knowing you should have been more prepared. This next winter you should consider upgrading your tires as well. Something more suitable for winter weather. Maybe a summer set and a winter set.
That's why I keep a foldout shovel and discarded doormats/floormats in the truck bed.
Glad you got out there safe, thanks for another great video.
A couple of 2x4 just wider than your tires and some short ratchet straps. Hook the straps through your tire and over the ends of the 2x4. Tighten the strap. As your tire turns the 2x4 comes down and adds a traction multiplier. It helps pull you out of the hole.
I appreciate you being genuine. You easily could have edited everything out.
Loving these videos. They have inspired me to take up fresh water fishing again (sea angler at the moment) and take up camping again. My son and I watch all your videos. Keep up the great content 👏
You survived and made it home. That's what matters!!!
Let’s go!! So stoked for this one. Thanks for all the fun adventures!!
even a slight scare like that is enough to humble someone. Glad you made it back home Leif
Glad you're ok Leif! Also you learn best from your own mistakes. But yet again great vid and hopefully helpful for someone.
Wait till it gets colder and that moist snow will freeze up overnight and gain you some traction. Good friends are a blessing. 😊. Thank you for being real. I appreciate it.
That was a thought! My neighbor also mentioned partially deflating tires would be a good way to get somme extra traction!
@@NWFishingSecrets 100% on deflation. You can run them pretty low and still be safe. Of course that means a way to re-inflate is needed for travel at speed on roads though.
We always travel with sand tubes in our pickups for weight in the rear end and then if ever needed like you for those loss of traction moments. They are cheap and a good insurance policy.
You could also try loading down the bed of your truck with some of those big rocks you found down by the water. Sometimes the added weight will help with the traction.
Living in minnesota I usually keep a shovel in the bed of my truck, as well as a few bags of sand, so you were right about acknowledging that having one would be of some good help to you :) Every trip out into the woods is a potential learning experience.
Verrückt was du alles erlebst. Ich finde es echt bemerkenswert was für eine Ruhe du trotzdem rüber bringst denn es wirkt irgendwie immer so als hättest du trotzdem alles unter Kontrolle. Außerdem finde ich es wundervoll wie du dich um deine Tiere kümmerst und ich find es verrückt wie uns solche Situationen dran erinnern wie schnell alles vorüber sein kann und wie wir durch solche Situationen Kleinigkeiten wie einfach nur nachhause kommen noch mehr schätzen!!
Viele Grüße und sorry für den späten Kommentar
My boys were so excited to see your video just now. Thank you for great content!
Thank you for posting a video. It made my day so much better
Very nice and “true” episode. Insuccesses are part of the life.
I like very much watching your videos.
Compliments from Italy. Ciao
Thanks for enjoying! Gotta share the fails so we can all learn from them haha. Greetings to Italy 🇮🇹 🎣
Hello, i always enjoy watching your shows and how fun you make it, being outdoors should always be fun. Being stuck or stranded can change pretty quick, thank you for the safety tips and helps us not to forget at times. Take care, be safe, and continue making content.
Absolutely love your content man!
Thanks to the neighbor for saving our favorite RUclipsr
Glad you made it out safely! I'd recommend a nice set of all terrain tires and traction boards (like MaxTrax). I appreciate you not sugar coating it and just being honest on your adventures and life lessons.
I'm very glad you got out of the snow and got home. 😊
Ypur positive energy is awesome! You're only gettin better in everything! Thank you for sharing brotha!
I'm glad you called for help. Be safe out there! :)
so happy there is a brand new episode
A friend and I just came back from the mountains and came across this amazing creek that runs beside a rough dirt road. We were so excited to find this place and start fishing until the car notified us one of the tires were loosing air. No spare and miles from home, we sadly had to do what was right and turn back. Glad you made it back safe! So did we😂
I'm glad to see it all worked out for you. Beautiful mountain area there. Be safe & good luck fishing next time.
Man ive been there! one time i went exploring on one of the roads behind a lake i like to fish at and hit some snow that transitioned to ice going downhill and the truck slid into the ditch and high centered. i didnt have anything to help me get out so i had to walk 7 miles down the road till i had enough service to get a hold of someone to come get me... then go back up the next day with chain and a comealong and get unstuck in like 5-10 minutes.... that taught me to be a little more prepared, but im still not as prepared as i should be so thanks for the reminder!
So happy for the first mountain adventure of the year great vid keep it up fish on 🎣
Love your videos. Been watching all your old vids as I just found you not to long ago. Great to see a fellow PNWesterner loving the fishing and beauty of this amazing place. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Been waiting for another amazing adventure like this!! So awesome man! Glad you made it out safe!
Leif! I hope things are well. I made a big move from Oregon to Florida and thanks for the videos to remind me of home!
Glad you were able to get out safely and so thankful you got in touch with your neigbors for help! You really should invest in some all-terain or more agressive tires if you are going to dive in those kind of conditions (those look like all-season tires). Stay safe Bud!
Besides a shovel, I always have traction boards when off road, in snow, on the beach, etc. A come along with a tow strap can come in handy also.
Last night I randomly looked at the site and saw that the lure packs were restocked, ordered one instantly! Then i get home from fishing today and see this video posted 7 minutes ago, life’s good 🎣
Haha that's awesome!! Got your order and have it packaged, ready to go 🔥 Thanks for enjoying the new adventure too!
Glad you got out safely, it might be time for you to maybe get a little bit of a lift and some off-road tires for the f150, most of the fx4 packages and some other ones have a rear differential locker as well when you pull the 4x4 button out towards your for that extra traction. Also a really smart investment for it would be an off road bumper and a winch for self recovery on those trials with no cell service. I’ve been stuck plenty of times out in the cascade mountain loop highway deep in the woods on some snowy trials and the winch is a life saver.
Awesome Video Ty For Risking It For Us!
Nice compass I need one
If your car ever gets stuck air the tires down for more surface area and use your floor mats for traction if you have nothing
i always did help to my friends the way u stuck in middle of nowhere .i did my part always as survivals as helper as savior . but i m always been treated bad by those whom i helped to. i should be thanksful to your neighbours who helped u in this situation .i would say your neighbours has my type of heart .
❤
Glad you’re safe and thank you for another awesome video 😎
Ty keep the videos coming and yes u did
Love the videos, and super cool it dropped on my birthday.
A trip to experience the cold and snow, exciting fishing, wish you always happy
Early spring is one of the most dangerous times of the year to go out. Snow can catch you off guard and be in places you didn’t expect, not to mention high flows in rivers are very dangerous. Whenever I’m off-roading I always keep large plastic off roading traction tracks. The golden rule of off-roading is always have a recovery system even if you don’t need it.
You get by with a little help from your friends or neighbors! Glad you made it out ok, I've been stuck way out in the boonies before myself. It makes you more prepared next time like a good boy scout. I got one of your survival pouches for myself, can't wait to check it out! Take care 🤙
I finally got one of the bullet lures I’m exited to use it
Actually, peppermint candy is a hack when I hike. Especially in the summer when your water is stale and warm, its a cool trick to suck on a mint and then when you drink your luke-warm water, it's cool and crisp and refreshing.
Leif, cut a couple of old piece's of carpet for each drive tire.... If you can get the tires on that carpet, it will bite, and get you rolling, saved my bacon bigtime once...Also, the floor mats can work... Great call on the shovel, I too learned it the hard way!! Glad you were good , yup, so correct, complacently can get us!! Stay safe man!!!
Awesome video! I absolutely love the scenery. Outdoorsman myself! Just a recommendation. In situations like that, it is good to have a good all terrain tire. Something that snow and ice rated. I'm glad you're safe and glad the neighbor was able to come to the rescue. I am looking forward to future episodes. Good luck, bro.
Love following this journey from a guy jus fishing on weekends doing catch and cooks to teaching us how to farm our own food 😂 such an amazing adventure 😊
Yes a new episode!!! Love the videos man always makes my days better
love this content man keep going i really like the you have a farm as well that you run really looking forward to that wheat and grain that your growing
You have no idea how happy I am when I come home and find a video from you
Thank you for the new video been waiting for new one fish on 🎣🎣🎣
Can't wait to get on some adventures with ya this summer/winter! Great videos as always bud!
Enjoy watching your videos! Please be safe out there. Luckily you made out good, with some help but good in the end.
Feeling happy now
Duffle bag with tree strap and a heavy duty come along is a good cheap alternative you should always keep that when your in the mountains and better tires also airing down will help a lot in these situations
I love your content. When I saw in the title you had to be saved i thought the worst. I'm glad you were uninjured and got home safe! Watching the content you put out really made made me want to go back to my roots when I was growing up in northern Idaho. Im actually planning fishing trips again... fiy if you had a Tacoma you wouldn't have gotten stuck! LOL Keep the golden content coming!
Waiting for another episode 🥹
Nothing like touching home base after a long a difficult adventure. Love the videos man, super excited every time you have a new upload!
