[@MegaGhostkeeper]

I watched every video you have. I think it's cool you share your stories, kinda like a journal log for you. You also teach people how to live" I admire that man. There is nothing better than living your life, cheers.

[@TheWildNorth]

+paul ghostkeeper yeah buddy I always go back on my older videos and compare the different weather and how the seasons change over the years wen I started I never thought of it as a journal log but it is starting to look more and more like that eh.i am happy you enjoy

[@commandlinekid]

Thank you! I love your videos and I love how you tell people exactly with detail how you do things. It makes the difference between everything and nothing.

[@E.lectricityNorth]

So much knowledge and wisdom in this video (as usual!). Thanks Andrew for another great slice of your life. My mouth was watering looking at that fish as it cured. Nice table Pops!

[@Kyle-py8gg]

You live life to the fullest. Hats off my man.

[@joshuavigil3350]

makes me wanna brine up some trout and smoke em up..glad to see that you are keeping up tradition, we need more people like that. shout out from albuquerque nm..love your channel, keep up the awesome videos

[@arielgranillo2628]

Awesome! great documentaries you are producing. It's always a quility time when we are hanging out with our Dads, doing some labor work! keep doing what you doing, man! We'll keep following from Latin America.

[@Appalachian1984]

Great video Andrew! Can't wait for the next one. You have inspired me be break out the smoker, fish more, and to dig out my traps. It's been many years since I last trapped but already planning line for next Fall here in West Virginia. And nice table!

[@Tech_Planet]

You dog is awesome at retrieval! Keep the videos coming, good stuff to watch. Crooked like a politician lmfao.

[@SwampDonkey530]

Happy times hanging with your pops eh. That's a cool way he slabbed out them boards, leaving them attached like that. I always learn stuff watching your vids, thanks man.

[@TheWildNorth]

+SwampDonkey530 yeah lie why dident I think of that eh ha ha

[@13prevailbushcraft]

man that's a sweet way to cut planks in the bush...thanks for sharing buddy...

[@kagapeme]

That ending man, so beautiful! Great video dude!

[@mushercdn]

Great episode. You are onto something with this style of video. Lots of content and variety in 18 minutes. Your father taught me something with the vertical slicing of the popular into boards. I'm not crazy about the saw cut above the shoulders, though! Nice retrieve of the goose by Charlie Dog. Really good "slice of life" stuff. Thanks.

[@scoejaysimpson2753]

You're the best lol the goose hat was funny and dads table "crooked like a politician" was hilarious haha!

[@TheWildNorth]

+chris briscoe ha ha I thought I edited that out

[@albertaoutdoors9220]

Great video as always. Just rewatching all the beaver camp vids I'm a junior on a line near Fort McMurray and really enjoy your videos. Marten trapping is just about done here and I'm getting excited for spring beaver As for your brown sugar that's all clumpy... seal it in a zip lock or in that can with a slice of fresh bread. The moisture will leave the bread and go into the brown sugar and it will loosen up.

[@Ka7wyf]

i hate when your videos end man..... and i love seeing when u post a new one. Love the vids and beaver camp looks awesome. good times with yer pa.. take care bud.

[@kan-zee]

It is Outstanding to see your Father in your videos...Well done. Cheers

[@TheWildNorth]

+Kanzee yeah kinda different eh

[@dondavey1959]

love your videos as always. First time i saw your dad , say hi and thank him for me as i have tried to make a bush table many times before and i learned a few tricks . So ya it must be great spending spring at beaver camp with your father and charlie. enjoy my friend. Don

[@TheWildNorth]

+Don Davey it was great yes I also learned some thing ha ha he seen my crooked skinning table and said ill build u a nice one

[@TheWildNorth]

+Don Davey you should see him build a sleigh or a river boat now that's some good shit

[@borealmetalworx]

Thanks again Andrew for a another great video

[@SKiM0510]

A great video of enjoying time with your dad. Those fish look awesome.

[@ninjawasher]

Good job on that table Dad, Andrew that fish looks delicious

[@K2shadowfax]

Living the life, indeed! Thanks for sharing!

[@deanmacleod1379]

I love your videos, if you seal the brown sugar with a quarter slice of apple overnight the sugar will absorb the moisture from the Apple and it will be soft again.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Dean MacLeod I will have to try that thanks for the tip

[@timberrunner4956]

+Dean MacLeod might take a little longer but a piece of bread will do the same thing

[@muskrat411]

MY NEPHEWS NAME is Dean Mcleod, weird huh!

[@kittykatross3896]

I love your videos Andrew!!

[@joegoldberg6936]

That smoked fish is making my mouth water haha as a kid when I was 9 I would catch jacks,clean them and cook them right by the river for lunch

[@VK-vm4xe]

That's a great video Andrew! Your father also has potential to be a film star :) You two are good together.

[@starhawk74]

man youre videos rock! I so want to go to Canada and get me a cabin lol you rock TheWildNorth very informative :D

[@DonaldKing23]

Really enjoy Your videos man! That Charlie is one hell of a dog.

[@Erated78]

Andrew my man, you make some seriously awesome vids man. Smoked Whitefish is my favorite, there's a place on the French River in ON that make it really good, dry and flavored nice. I felt happy to see you and Charlie get the first goose of the season. Almost fell off my chair seeing you wearing that goose hat! LOL Very cool way your dad got those planks...smart man! :) Thanks Andrew! cheers

[@TheWildNorth]

+Erated78 oh I thought I edited that part out with the goose had I will have to proof edit my videos a bit more ha ha I just made it not sure if I even watched it all

[@rendezvous5784]

That smoked fish looks tasty and your father's table is awesome! I think Charlie is partial for goose...

[@jjdubuyou1976]

Looks awesome! When you cure the fish next time, put them on a rack in a pan so the liquid can run down underneath. The fish will be drier and take the smoke better! This video was great.

[@mackenziemullett3741]

Great Video! Here in Newfoundland when hunting geese, we whistle to a flock of birds on the water which makes them group up together for a one shot kill. Happy Hunting!

[@jefffoster6892]

you should try cherry wood and apple. my favorites for sure. mild sweet smoke. great for fish.

[@littlemoon_3810]

from alaska just showing the wife your videos still awesome

[@TheWildYam]

You must be so happy to finally have a goose and fish to smoke for your meals. I saw you had some store bought meat in the cooler. That must cost a pretty penny in the North. I had to laugh when you mentioned the table was "crooked like a politician" ha ha.

[@TheWildNorth]

+TheWildYam yes everything is expensive in the north once it crosses the 60th parallel the price triples

[@antoineh.1014]

Hey Andrew! It would be cool to see a vid where you show us your different rifles and tell us what you think of them! Nice work man! Have a good one.

[@chestermcgillicuddy4368]

Another awesome video lad! Thank you so much!

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

looked like good eats. Nice looking table too.

[@2bonosc]

Thanks for showing how the fire is managed for the smoker I know it's common sense to you but it's info that I'll put to good use thanks!

[@TheWildNorth]

+2bonosc I hope it helps you out if you smoke some fish buddy

[@FinsRacksOutdoors]

Whities are my favorite! Add a little chicken soup base, garlic and onion powder and some cinnamon to your salt and sugar; you'll love the results. Thanks for sharing!

[@MimiKiwi]

Awesome vid! Keep it up!

[@goosehunter4845]

sure is a neat smoker great job on it, fish looks good also a nice big goose should be tasty, your dad is very skilled great to be able to spend time with him, great video, andrew,:):)

[@roningamin1391]

Love your videos Andrew those cuts youve been making are called SCORING we chefs use that technique for fatty meats

[@spence0324]

Nice goose hat! LMAO Great vid

[@harleyguy1515]

living the dream!!!

[@dstevenpaisley]

you need one of those Cheap chain grinders from princes auto ! I have one for fixing those screwed up chains .Squares them up good.Take a few old chain to get on to how to use them but makes them work able again when they start cutting circles !That's all I use mine for paid like $60.00 on sale for it

[@pwrplnt1975]

Your Dad's freaking Awesome!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Living the dream brother living the dream. Cheers Moose Down Under.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Beautiful table your dad made. I can't believe how straight those cuts were. have you ever used moss instead of diamond willow and have you ever smoked more than one type of meat in your smoker?

[@TheWildNorth]

+SubArcticWolf Tools & Outdoors I have never used moss and I have smoked everything in the smoker that you could possibly smoke hell once I even smoked a salad in there and had smoked salad and moose meat

[@druinjun5668]

@14:27 when you're in the bush too much lol jk, love your vids. think i'm gonna try make your smoker this year

[@tagl9080]

hey Andrew bro!😊👊 warm the sugar up on the fire to soften it up. next time bro could you demonstrate how to take the rib bones out?

[@rontyppo7193]

Alder works great where I live,but I needs to be peeled or you get a real bitter taste, keep up the videos

[@charlesmccoy5857]

Another great video my Friend. Is the beaver season over yet? I'll keep watching your adventures. Good to see a little snow still around, its in the 80's down here in South East Georgia. Take Care My Friend, Mac

[@TheWildNorth]

+Charles McCoy yeah all done till next fall time for summer holidays which consists of laying on my hammock and working around my cabin and a couple months of work in town

[@brent338]

did salmon candy with the macs I got... brown sugar, salt, honey, real maple syrup... soak 16 hrs, air dry/cure for 24-36 hrs(a fan helps), smoke 6 hrs or so, with alder... damn good... honey helps in the dry cure process, it is a super powered anti bacterial item, last forever, and taste good to, some first aid uses if need be also.

[@christinesikes2263]

I love your channel

[@not2tees]

There are a few smoke huts around the city, but very few.

[@wscrig00]

Here's hoping those fires don't reach you. looking like another bad fire season. cheers from spokane washington.

[@skywell3829]

1 trick for hard brown sugar. add a slice of white bread in the container and let it sit over night

[@flamesfromblazer]

Andrew - does the method of standing on the outstretched wings with the goose on its back and pulling up on its legs to gut and skin it in one go work on a fresh shot goose dya know? Or are they too big to do it ?? Great vids bro - keep em coming eh . .

[@Ka7wyf]

+flamesfromblazer i know what you are talking about. i did that with partridge cause the wings did not have much meat, just the breast. but geese and pheasant have meat on the wings. that is a great method though. sorry i know u asked Andrew.

[@flamesfromblazer]

ka7wyf haha - np bro - yeah Ive done it often myself on Pheasant and its a pretty effective and quick method and also sort of strange how it actually works too ,innit !

[@thajman]

They are too big, I have tried several times. Work great for those grouse though.

[@TheWildNorth]

+flamesfromblazer yeah I don't do it that way my grandfather told me it was disrespectful to step on animals u harvest and the food you eat so I never have done that way too much

[@flamesfromblazer]

+TheWildNorth Yeah I hear what you say bro - and now that you made me think about it I agree with your grandfathers words - thanks.

[@commandlinekid]

Andrew, I see you boiling water sometimes in a coffee-can-like pot. I'm looking for something large like that (not just a cup) to safely boil water in. I have some "galvanized pails" but someone told me the zinc could come off when they get too hot. Also I'm looking for cheap. Thanks for the help in advance. - Joe

[@1983ajs]

+ Joseph Bassett fyi the zinc coming off the galvanized metal is not the best for your health either

[@commandlinekid]

+Andrew Surridge What do you use? Is that a coffee container?

[@commandlinekid]

+Andrew Surridge What do you use? Is that a coffee container?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Joseph Bassett yeah its a Kirkland coffee container

[@pammartin5582]

Charlie is a good meat tenderizer!!

[@dave4854]

here, I use apple, oak, locust, cherry, maple any hard wood or fruit wood. whatever has the most smoke at the time and is not green

[@aonewatchman]

When and where did you catch the White Fish?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Peter Berian I picked them up off a local fishermen who goes by the name marius cant catch whitefish in the river

[@antonioblocker3292]

Great video

[@fredswalleyewagon5943]

Do you ever smoke pike Andrew

[@wyattdocsh5093]

STRAIT ON

[@aonewatchman]

I guess the next thing you will be building is the old out house!

[@TheWildNorth]

+Peter Berian yeah that's also on the list of things to build got a half ass one built out there but will build a good one someday soon

[@sebastiengoyettemichaud7477]

[@bigcampnewyork3586]

Have you ever noticed how big the gizzards are in those Canadian geese. Wonder why? Denny

[@TheWildNorth]

+bigcampnewyork yeah there huge eh the size of a apple not sure why there so big good question might have to google that one

[@1983ajs]

your dad reminds me alot of mine, a bit of a smart ass, seems like he expects you to know everything already, poking and proding with little comments. Im sure he means well but i think you do just fine, theres more than one way to skin a cat as they say. i dont say this to offend or disrespect so hopefully it didnt. love your videos and your lifestyle, keep it up

[@TheWildNorth]

+Andrew Surridge ha ha I wouldent be as ambitious as I am are as hard working or know a 3rd of what I know if it wasent for my father he can be tough some days yes.

[@rdccs5122]

[@sebastiengoyettemichaud7477]

[@Spartan-ry1hh]

Why all the swearing? Can't think of something else to say?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Philip Way that's how we talk in the north

[@petenrock]

Who the hell cares about which words another man uses? Seriously, grow the fuck up.

[@riccikiri9744]

[@rednecklowlife]

LOL!

[@jttraina4516]

I live in NJ and have resided here for almost 50 tears. I am a hunter and had the opportunity to hunt bear in Ontario. I was at the lodge and THREE Canadian geese landed in the lake behind it. The owners IMMEDIATELY came out with their cameras and started taking pictures. This confused me and I asked them what was the BIG DEAL. They were apparently excited that the Geese landed there. I than said to them ,what's the BIG DEAL ? They replied, we don't see geese all that often. I than said to them THEY ARE CANADIAN GEESE are they not ? I than told them they should come to N.J, where there are places you can't walk 50 feet in a straight line without stepping in goose SH*T.
