The Frisbee can serve several purposes: protect the finish on a no-stick pan while traveling, collect shavings from a feather stick, fan a stubborn fire, etc. I bought one just to keep my kids occupied, then used it for other things. I'll be looking for that egg carrier! Love the tipi, stove - heck, this whole playlist is gold!

[@mrglasswindowwashing]

I always found this very useful. Keep cotton balls and Vaseline to start your fire when it’s cold it’s hard to start fires this helps unbelievably

[@funkyprepper]

trousers left on the boots, great tip. hot metal bottle in wool sock. the cup idea with odds and sods by the bed. raised stove off the snow. spark arrestor low down eggs in a jar multiple paper plates great tips to help other thanks

[@Raised_by_God]

cool

[@LibellulaGlass]

funkyprepper I do this with my clothes in winter here, and we live in a stone house in the Pyrenees! Can get down to minus 18C. Great idea for the pants and boots, but I take off all my top layers together and leave them at the end of the bed for easy access. Especially when we are waiting for llama births.

[@haraldthi]

I've seen the eggs in a jar idea before, but for me putting the eggs in a normal plastic container and stuffing it with paper works just as well. I use paper towels and toilet paper along the way at any rate, and use it up when the eggs are gone.

[@audreyk1053]

Nice idea. Nothing like keeping them in their natural state. I also like Lonnie's method of pouring how many as you want into your skillet. Seems easier. Less clean up.

[@furkids4ever]

Pants on the boots - isn't that the fireman way? ! Great video! Gosh but I'd hate to HAVE to live that way again! I'm spoiled & know it!

[@ecrow6]

I tied a license plate to the back of my sled with paracord. It serves as a brake so the sled won't slide backwards. I use a plastic milk crate to pack stuff in, it makes a good stool and also footrest. I will now build a stove because of this video. Thanks!!!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Both are great ideas. I also use a milk type crate to haul my wood stove in and that gets used to organize stuff once I reach the campsite.

[@patriciahibbert6139]

@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Carry TP in a old tobacco can with lighter fluid and a bic lighter.I carry that in the back seat tool box which is under the seat.I use the lid as a leg to raise the can off the floor,lighter fluid to lite the TP to burn as a candle withe the lighter to ignite it,I have a heater to keep me from freezin in the truck.But also open 2 windows a bit to let gases out and let air in.Just a survival thing.It works.

[@sealeak2918]

Milk crate. Duh and genius. Thanks.

[@ladonnad.steele2470]

Life saving advice here. I will never forget this. A must watch for all who don't know how to winter camp.

[@jackpinesavage1628]

When I grew up in Wisconsin, we would use bales of straw, pulled apart and fluffed up for bedding under our canvas tents during winter campouts as Boy Scouts. Mittens worked better keeping our fingers warm, than gloves. We used crossed sticks, tied together, buried in the snow at each outside corner of our tents for anchors to tie the corner tent grommets to. I like the five gallon wood stove, Lonnie. I've been thinking about how to make a wood stove for my deer hunting blind. Hope you two have a peaceful winter up there in Alaska. Kind regards from Northern Michigan.

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Hello Lonny I have seen the Video twice and i love it It Shows how to live in the snow and stay alive . You use very simple Tools and Equipment and for normal people as i am it very good to see At Last i like the intro very much the music Sounds like Alaska is used to be for me Thanks for sharing your knowlege Greeting from Germany Stay healthy and save and dont catch the Virus Yours Frank

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

your such a blessing to us all!! and probably saving lives as well !!

[@JamesJones-pt9cz]

Your an inspiration to those that are afraid to tackle winter surviving, u rocked this video.

[@davidossinger8183]

You're a good man Lonnie. Been practicing some of the stuff you teach, and enjoying the woods more all the time. It feels good to have things sorted out, everything just gets so much more comfortable. I grew up monkeying around in the woods, but never thought to get organized about it until I was a middle aged man! Thanks for what you do.

[@jpoolerdom]

Living in Maine, winter camping advice is something I'm always interested in. What really strikes me about this channel is just listening to Lonnie talk!

[@Diesel-hn9rv]

All your videos are amazing, I like to learn all the tips from them!

[@curmudgeonlydwarf1113]

I have used a tipi for years for elk hunting the hot tipi is magic in the snow. Lots of great tips in this video as always thank you for sharing. The wood pot holders are going on my checklist!

[@Blutteufel]

It's good to hear that wonderful flute again. The last time I watched one of your videos, the intro was silent, and I thought my laptop's speakers had finally died (it's very old). Excellent video, as always.

[@danieltrottier8599]

Lonnie for president.

[@proclaimliberty2000]

Sitting in a tree stand hunting whitetail deer and watching your video 😂. Love your channel God bless you.

[@stepitup5409]

Always enjoy spending some time with ya Lonnie. Appreciate ya buddy.

[@markmartin8431]

Thanks Mr. Lonnie as always most educational! I want you to know I appreciate your videos and the time it takes to make them and tell Mrs. Connie thank you for letting you make them for us! I hope all is well with you and your family! atb stay safe and warm! Mark in Texas!

[@Airik1111bibles]

Frisbee idea is awesome and the eggs in a jar is way cool. I love this whole concept and looks fun, I really like the TP hot tent thing its a very simple process and way more easy on what you need to bring with ya. Its seems like it would be way better rolling up tarps than packing a big ole tent with poles....your vids are great I'm glad I found this channel.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Airik1111 I sold my literally 80 pound traditional 12 foot by 14 foot canvas wall tent because it was just too much tent and to heavy as well as just too hard to set up by myself. This hot tipi is a breeze for one person. Very easy to transport as well as very easy too set up and take down. I'm loving it.

[@carolinew1152]

You are sooo camping-smart! The things you come up with really is incredible information... so thx for sharing!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Such an informative list of advise and tips, many thanks for sharing ~Peace~

[@davidharvey5672]

Good stuff there that lots of people can benefit from. My wife's favourite was the Frisbee mine was the trousers ( pants ) pulled over the boots. Thank you Lonnie.

[@bushcarftsurvival-life4195]

I just want to say thank you for sharing the camping and survival videos I learned a lot from them I'm watching them I really appreciate the videos you share thank you so much I hope to see more God bless

[@noakeswalker]

There's a man who knows how to do it. Thanks for the great snowy video Lonnie.

[@trikerider1038]

What a great video! Good information including some things I would have never thought of. I especially appreciated the soft spoken but direct style of the man speaking.

[@Wintertrekker]

Good tips Lonnie! For the cup stash at night idea, I keep my bandana tucked into the wrist cuff of my sleeping sweater sleeve, so that I can wipe nose drip anytime without light. For eggs, I really enjoy OvaEasy freeze dried eggs. They are real 100% eggs, and taste really good - way better than dehydrated eggs. Here I can buy them for a cost about twice the cost of fresh eggs, but its worth it for me to cut the water weight for the sled haul. Another tip is a beeswax candle lantern - makes a nice scent, and pleasant light. There is no end to the leaning curve for winter camping....I may get it all figured out by the time I expire.....likely not! :o)

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Wintertrekker I'm sure you have MANY great tips for making camp life easier that you have picked up over the years. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@trudilm3864]

I can't imagine camping on snow, but as a non driver, getting everything there is an ongoing issue. I love the sled! And I would love to be in such good company.

[@johnvaes8900]

Lonnie you are a wise and calming individual. Your ideas help a lot. Thank you.

[@aligirl1006]

I think this is your best video yet, Lonnie! Many things I remember from winter bivwac in Germany while in the Army! You covered those hreat ideas and more!

[@poppopscarvinshop]

Thanks for taking us again Lonnie! I dream of being able to camp like that in the snow! At least it finally got cold here, 25 for lows and 50 for highs. Now if we could get about a foot of snow so I can play with the Grandkids in it! Thanks Again, Y'all Have Fun & Stay Warm! Much Love From Atlanta!

[@Waldhandwerk]

Wow, amazing Lonnie, packed with tipps! Great One.

[@onebaddogo]

Tons of great tips. I love your videos and have already made my tp tent and my paint bucket stove. You have easy to follow instructions and are thorough. Appreciate that 😉👍

[@weathervane4592]

Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to get out in the Snow!

[@canesser1]

Great tips Lonnie.Spark arrestor, felt pack idea and pants over boots are golden tips I've never even considered. ALWAYS learn something from you Brother! Blessings!

[@QntmNtglmnt]

Just wanted to say Far North Bushcraft and Survival is the best youtoob channel. Lonnie and Connie keep em coming. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@HikingFeral]

Thanks for sharing Lonnie. Your channel has helped me more than I could begin to describe since I started wild camping many months ago. Atb.

[@guycrevier9402]

Honestly, this was a great and very informational video, I have enjoyed quite a few of your videos. This one was truely filled with many useful tips I have not heard before and I will use not only use to improve on my own ideas but also just in general. Loved the jarred eggs tip, The boot's and pants idea, the stainless sports bottle (heated open and kept in a wool sock) as foot and body warmer idea, the spark arrestor down low tip and finally someone has after all these years sold me on paper plates. Lol, to think I already have a frisbee too. Thank you so much for the time you put into making these videos. No need to respond (a reference to another video you made on your version of a swedish torch) I just wanted to express to you like many, many many people have, that I appreciate what you're doing.

[@HNXMedia]

The boots and pants thing is GENIUS! That alone is worth watching this video, but don't stop there, there is a lot of good useful info here! Namaste!

[@raybeaulieu6187]

Its the extreme survival videos that give you the best info. Anyone can survive in moderate conditions but in truly cold environments this is what you need. You don't need fancy gear, you need common sense in real life situations to survive. If you can deal with the worst then you can easily deal with the easier moderate temperatures.

[@oscarparedes5308]

Great tips. Thank you Lonnie. Happy camping!

[@bryanr.3241]

You my friend , are what really lured me back into the bushcraft lifestyle from when I use to spend my youth , all day in the woods. It wasn't called Bushcrafting back then LOL. But I'm glad you were the first videos I saw here on youtube. You do a lot of great things for the outdoors community. You show a great respect for nature. Thanks Lonnie 👍👍

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Bryan Resch Awesome. I would like to think that it has been a positive influence. Thanks for the kind words

Thank you so much. We usually go on a family ( one of my boys, his daughter and myself). In September in Alabama. The State park is actually a mountain top. We don't have a hot tent Orr stove; however, I still learned a few extra things we can use.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

Thanks for the tips Lonnie, I have to admit I am one of those putting the spark arrestor on the top, and experience clogging after a few nights. I will try to make one to put closer to the stove and see how that will work out. A lot of good tips for the people! Atb, Odd

[@malektouzani1867]

Great video ! This kind of simple tips can make a huge difference in a camping situation . Thanks for sharing :)

[@arowrock]

I have been watching your videos for a little while now and I just wanted to say I am glad I came across you and your videos, your knowledge and experience is very impressive and refreshing, your not trying to prove anything, just enjoying your life the way you want to. Thank you for sharing with us. Rock on brother.

[@john-waxerone6972]

I loved the tip where you leave the pants on your boots...simple, yet genius!

[@RadicatTat]

+john- waxerone I learned that it's best to go with larger size clothing so I can add other items underneath. Rolled up pants legs and sleeves won't offend the bears much. Most ponchos are too short for good coverage. Military surplus are generally larger and better made.

[@ireland66613]

Absolutely awsome thank you for great video peace brother

Awesome video, Lonnie.. You were born to improvise!

[@dinnerwithfranklin2451]

Great tips Lonnie, thanks for this

[@johnlord8337]

Dropping trousers around the boots is like fireman's pullouts, same boots and fire suit protocol. Easy climb in, and pull up suit. In the morning, before getting out of the sack, foot warmers activated and dropped into boots, for hot (dry) boots for a great new day of life. Heated feet will warm up the blood back up the legs to the body, getting a great morning warm up, without having to jump all around the fire, and exercising to warm up, or waiting for the hot coffee to boil up and get you warm.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+John Lord The foot warmers dropped in the boots to pre-warm them in the mornings sounds like a great idea. If the boots use removeable liners however I still recommend wearing them to bed at night though in order to thoroughly dry them out.

[@johnlord8337]

+Far North Bushcraft And Survival Agreed. Another YT vidder puts foot warmers between his inner and outer socks (his version of a liner boot), and then put in boots. Same issue for putting into cold boot and sole. This is why I would rather have a hot boot and sole instead of a hot foot slipping into a cold boot, losing all heat to the cold sole. Better hot sole that then makes a hot foot, liner or second sock.

[@HealthSupercharger]

Nice job at enjoying the winter cold outdoors. Very nicely done.

[@timcurry192]

Great stuff, Lonnie, and thanks! I'm in "why didn't I think of that?" mode right now. The pants on the boots trick in particular, because sometimes us old guys need to leave the tent in the middle of the night to...uh, look at the stars, yeah, that's it. ;-)

[@True-crime-junkie]

Outstanding. I know I will be using a few of these tips. Thanks.

[@daltonvickers7977]

Yes. It is almost always very high humidity here. My hunting partner moved here from Rhode Island a few years ago. He said he feels colder here when it is in the 30's than he did when it was in the teens and low 20's in Rhode Island. I know when I lived in Idaho I could not believe I could go out in just a good sweater when it was in the teens. I loved it, That was a beautiful state and met a lot of good people there
