Warm ♨️ hello from Israel

You were well prepared the the cold night ahead Andy👍 A hot meal really helps to stay warm as well! Thanks for sharing✌️

Can I use that mirage joke? I think it'll get a few laughs

Very cozy Anndy. You sure do things right

I don't need a ton of money, expensive cars, or a huge mansion. This here is all I need. Its priceless.

Great video Andy! Glad you stayed warm in that bitter cold! What fun!

Looked like a great night. Thanks for sharing.

Man, that sure did look like a nice camp! Dinner looked great, too. You need to get a pair of those goose down booties so you don't have to freeze your toes when you're changing 😂 hope you and mama had a great Christmas!!

merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year from Denmark

One suggestion: Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. If that sled should get away from you and go over a cliff, or break through the ice and sink, or be carried off by a bear or a thousand chipmunks with really bad attitudes, you’d be screwed especially if the weather suddenly turns against you. I’d suggest carrying some survival gear in your backpack and put your pillow in the pulk. When I’m traveling, I stay at Candlewood Suites and my accommodations pale in comparison to yours lol

Suggest you post a bigger view of the tent from outside perspective.

I cringed when i heard the crunch under your boots. 🥶

Nicely done Andy! Good on you for getting out during that cold snap. Great set up and some good eating. Thanks for taking us along Brother.

Awesome outing my friend. You're having way colder temperatures there than we are having here, it's slightly below zero, we have very little snow. Great meal, and lots of it definitely didn't need two rolls with it lol. A mirage at those cold temperatures is unusual I thought you only saw those in desserts lol. That's awesome that those Christmas lights and batteries have lasted that long. Merry Christmas my friend and a happy new year.

It looks really, really cold. When I get out on them cold nights , i never really have an appetite. I cook up a big meal and then eat a cup of soup 😆 🤣 😂 . Have a great 2025. We have nothing but mud in Ohio right now .

Hello 🙋‍♂️ my dear friend. Nice camp. You're in your element, that's good.

Awesome video buddy merry Christmas

I will buy my Trek 60 today. I am looking forward to load it up !

wow keep warm dear

Good set up bud. Thanks for sharing

I’ve just bought one but haven’t used it yet , looks good though. I’m going to use those new pressed wood chips as they burn longer and used very little , charcoal sounds good I would imagine it would last a lot longer.

Looks like another great spot you picked. Can’t wait to see your camp set up. Merry Christmas Anndy See you next week

Heck yeah, looks like you're going to have a great night in the tent!! I'm also diabetic, among other things, and don't let it stop me. In fact, I generally feel so much better when I'm out than I do at home. Hopefully no one nabs your wood before you get there 😂 I have an awesome new stove that I'll be filming this weekend that I think you'll love. I won't say why yet, but I have a feeling it will be something you'll like.

Good job Andy checking out and preparing your spot before you head out for hot tenting. It was a blustery winter day, you got a good spot cleared before it froze up. See you next time and thanks for sharing your day

I like your thinking Andy. Getting out there and preparing your tent area and processing your wood saves a lot of time and energy when you come back to camp. Thanks Brother!

Hello 🙋‍♂️ my friend Anndy. Good adventure 👍🥾❄️🌲

Mother nature built you a natural workshop

Secures into a nice tight package on the sled

Nice hike beautiful spot :) Memories to treasure 👍, In my parts you can't build any kind of camp on crown land & leave it when we leave , When we moose hunt we have to dismantle our camp when we leave, Have an awesome holiday season :)

Hey ! just found you new sub: love the outdoors I'm out in mother nature all the time :) -30c where I'm at as we speak ! It's going to be much warmer for Christmas :) Good job fixing your sled so you have tie downs 👍, I always found those sleds putt hard as they make the front to square they always want to push the snow, I work you sleighs all the time for hauling firewood at my cabin :) My next videos I'm in the bush a lot making trails & cutting firewood 😃,

Your video is just what I needed because I was about to buy a sled but was hesitating between the 45 or the 60. Now I know which model I need. And thank you for the tips on upgrading the sled-very useful to know. The sled I used on my last trip was not sturdy enough.

I have the same sled, I built poles for pulling mine with a 10’ length of PVC electrical conduit cut in half with the rope ran thru them, I attach them to a contractors belt with a couple cheap carabiners, this lets me use a set of trekking poles or a simple walking stick while pulling from my hip…. Lots of people want the minimal size sled when they start winter camping but a sled is a lot like a boat, the more surface area you have the lower the ground pressure and the higher it’ll float…

There is always room for improvements! Thanks for showing Andy✌

Good job Andy. A simple modification but yet so very important. I’m sure it will make your life easier further down the road Ant wait to see it all loaded and ready for action

Hearing your introduction made me remember winter warfare exercises with headquarters company back in the day. MWO Mark McVety would load down the headquarters toboggan with all the spares and extra fuel, extra rats just in case. So our toboggan would have a load with a high centre of gravity, and it would wallow and topple if we didn’t man handle it while two of us pulled and one of us pushed with the bars attached to the back of it. On the way out it would be lean and trim, on the way back all that gear would have it looking like Granny with her rocking chair and shotgun was all we were lacking. I still have nightmares about it over thirty years later! I like the handles you put in and as you described the blue tarp, it really put me in mind of those toboggans and their white cargo cover that we would fold over the gear to protect and keep it inboard while mushing that load. I saw your sled slipping from side to side a bit, and thought how I’d want a longer rope with a cross body belt ( think a thick leather belt slung from shoulder to hip that would let you put your shoulder and torso into the pull instead of your hands. I think you did a great job, and as much as I hated the experience you made me recall some good memories from the past, and my comrades who shared the load. Cheers!

Greetings from North Carolina 🇺🇸 Nice tutorial. I used to have JetSleds when I lived up north in snow country. I think JetSled has been bought out by a bigger company. The only thing I think I’d have done differently is not cut off the excess yellow rope. I think I’d have found a way to wind it back around the sled and wrapped it into/through the loop lines underneath the rail. My thinking is this, in an emergency situation, you’d have even more extra rope for maybe setting up a tarp or whatever it was needed for. You just can’t have too much cordage out in the woods especially in the winter months. When it comes to The Ten Essentials, especially in the harsh weather months, I’d rather have them (and maybe a bit extra) and not need them, than need them and not have them. I’m old and salty enough to be speaking from experience 😊 I liked 👍🏻 the video and subscribed with the 🔔

Good job modifying the sled Andy. Ultimately it would be nice to have a sled to pull the sled 😂. Looking forward to see you get out for a hot tent Brother!

I like the new sled! Can't wait to see now how you setup the weight distribution. I'd be interested in an updated video of your boots/gaiters/snowshoes and your routine to get them all on as a little filler video if you don't get to go back out before christmas.

Nice to see someone still using a corded drill. I have an old Black & Decker corded drill I've had for over 25 years. I do have a cordless drill and it comes in handy but most of the time I use my old B & D.

You need to invent a better sled and modify it as needed

that's awesome Andy, looks like its going to work great, nice dusting of snow, looking forward to the campout, take care

I have a similar Pelican Sled I use to tow my gear in not sure of the model its about six feet long on the top of the sled maybe two ...two and half feet wide. Came with a hitch for a snow machine , I usually have it full but really its a bit too big because I work too hard pulling it lol. Great way to put the line in , mine has a elastice canvass cover that pulls on over and as I type this I'm trying to remember where I stored it lol. Should work great for you my buddy looking forward to see the first use. Getting in shape to pull it is something I can relate to lol. Hope you have an awesome week my friend.

👍❄️🛷

You are very good at tying knots. I still can't 🤠
