I picked up a couple "real" traps this summer at yard sales. I also got a crab snare for a fishing rod. Haven't tried them yet, but hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get back over to the coast. I have a crab ring, but not sure how to attach the GoPro to it or the fishing snare. .

Maybe the camera could be attached to the float above the crab ring directly over and looking down onto the crab ring. Would be an interesting video.

Good question and good idea for another food source in the vehicle! After a quick search, it looks like canned food will still be safe as long as the seal isn't broken. According to the article the food just might have a different texture after freezing. For that I would just suggest rotating the stock occasionally - as one should with their indoor preps as well. Thanks for watching and commenting! .

@@natureterp I had myself some cans of beans and fish, sardines and mackerels, in my van but noticed that in winter season they might freeze several times over night and unfreeze during day and that's something I dont trust in at all, especially with fish. I now take only freeze-dried meals, bags with nuts or biscuits etc that dont risk anything when temperature drop or rise. Or I protect the food in an isolated box or in my cloth and blanket bag. Take care. 👍

Hey Brian! Sorry for the late reply. So far the charcuterie boards are working out great! Just to let you know though, juniper is a soft wood. I personally would not make a cutting board from it. I can dent it with my fingernail. And with constant use and washing with water it might be quicker to split eventually than hard woods. I oiled the top and bottom of the charcuterie boards with three coats and a final coat of conditioner on the top. There are tons of thin juniper scraps at my ranch. They've been out in the weather for years and haven't split. But juniper does turn gray if you don't oil or coat it. Coasters would be great for juniper. And give a cutting board a try if you want, of course. I'd love to hear how it works out. .

That actually does surprise me that there are people up in the north 48 and in Alaska aren't very prepared for winter storms! I just drove from western Oregon to Central Oregon (a 5-hr trip in summer conditions) and took at least half of the stuff I listed in this video. I only ended up traveling about 20 miles in snow around Crater Lake and then the last 20 miles to my cabin. But you never know - even here in southern and Central Oregon. Great tip on the gas torch! I'll have to look into that. Would be great for the survival kit - but also sounds like it would be handy just to have in my shop! Thanks for the comment Mike! Alaska is the only state I haven't been to yet. I'm planning to drive up one of these years. Side note: It's so sad to see so many people dying in their cars (stranded) in this current storm hitting the eastern US. .

Thanks for watching and for the comment! Yep, that was epoxy resin. I get it on Amazon now in larger containers, but you can get it at Home Depot - smaller quantity but a bit more expensive per ounce. I just get the stuff that is a 1-1 ratio so I don't have to do math. I live in Oregon so the sand is just from one of my trips to the coast. I have gotten sand at places like Michaels though - finer grain and different colors. I used that on my train village. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ2bkmuBdtR1r9k Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! .

Thanks for watching and for the comment! I'm about to watch your Christmas village video right now :)

That's awesome! Good luck! I had fun making this, but it sure took a lot of patience. I hope you make a video of it. If not perhaps link some pics here in my comments. Cheers!

Thanks! And yep - it's been a minute since I worked at Whittier ;) Cheers!

That is awesome Andre! Thanks so much for your support! I'm glad you got some good info from the video =)

Wow! Thanks so much for watching and for all the great comments you added here! If you ever feel like uploading a video to your KZbin channel you should do one that compliments this one! You can never have too much information =) Have a great day!

@@natureterp go to Rhino U.S.A. for recovery products. Great American company. Great customer service. Love the bright green products. Tie down straps etc.

Great suggestions! I didn't even think about a fire extinguisher because I was thinking "winter." But absolutely a fire extinguisher could potentially be needed even if you're snowed in. I carry a small one year round and I think it's actually expired now - so thank you for the comment! . Oh, and the rest of your comment is spot on too =) Snowshoes is a good one - they make them quite compact these days. .
