[@brianspencer4220]

Living in Toronto, you tend to forget how people earn their keep in the NWT. Thanks for bringing me a vivid reminder. Thanks Brian 76 less 7

[@fishfnatic]

Loving this series, not only the kills, but the watching the bond and memories your dad and you are building. Right on. Don't take it for granted, those are precious and for life. Cheers

[@TheWildNorth]

yeah i thought the series turned out all right

[@6412mars]

Damn good one Andrew...Your father and you going off into the sunset is heartwarming fella...nice.. real nice buddy

[@eqlzr2]

I was in a Bass Pro today and saw many many boxes of .17 rf ammo. Thought about you. I remember when that round didn't even exist, now look at how popular it is, and it's getting more popular because of your vids. A couple yrs back, I took my brother's .17 rf Savage rifle and shot a ground squirrel through the ear at about 75 yards in high winds. Thanks for your and your father's great vids, Bud.

[@TheWildNorth]

ha ha i dont inow if its gettin,popular cause of me its just all around a great little rifle i should e mail them tell em to send me a new hmr for my videos i lost my nice good one with the pista grip n it somewere in the bush breaks my heart to see it in my videos i instantly get pissed off ha ha

[@paulmckenna9492]

Enjoy these videos . You may not make great money , but you sure live life better than 99 % of us . Keep up the nice work Andrew . Cheers , from Philadelphia !

[@TheWildNorth]

why so how is the city life down in philedelphia. everytime i hear philedelphia it reminds me of the fresh prince ha ha

[@paulmckenna9492]

Andrew life in Philadelphia is great . It's my opinion that you , and people like yourself living off the land are living life in its most honest form. It's 180 ° different from an urban life . I respect , and appreciate the wilderness lifestyle.

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Awesome spring hunt dad and you keep up the good work,Andrew.

[@hollissweedman1494]

Looks like Dad's going to have to up his fishing game or he'll never get a night off from beaver skinning. lol! Love your video. keep up the good work!

[@TheWildNorth]

yeah the fishing not so good in the spring time there

[@perttiheinuri4762]

this video shows how something so simple can be so good.

[@scottmccallum5545]

Good camera work. Captures what we need to see to piece it all together. Great adventure.

[@TheWildNorth]

ha ha yeah buddy it took me a ling time to piece this one together i had so much footage

[@jethrobodine7752]

Nice video! Those beaver pelts look like giant dream catchers! Cool!

[@TheWildNorth]

they do look nice eh im gonna sell a few on the stretchers like that for decoration i. thinking

[@muskymac4063]

Awesome evening men !looks like you will be busy building more stretchers Hard to believe the ice isn't off yetLooking forward to the next episode Keep up the good work

[@TheWildNorth]

+Muskymac june 5th is the date today theres still lots of ice on the lake

[@Ralphieisthegreatest]

I wish my dad and I would have been as close as you and your father are. Love these videos!

[@Big_John_C]

Hell yeah bro! Great seeing you and your dad enjoying yourselves.

[@goosehunter4845]

you sure got a lot of beaver around there , great looking place too, easy way to hunt beaver beats hauling all those heavy traps around, looks like you and your dad is having a nice spring, all the best:):)

[@garyrobar4668]

great video Andrew, thanks for sharing and all the work you put into making these .

[@michaeldes1800]

You have a nice relationship with your father. You two are lucky. Michael (Dual US & CA citizenship.)

[@aonewatchman]

Great shots ... lots of Beaver ... and probably some good eating! Thank you for sharing.

[@rednecklowlife]

That beaver was probably stunned! First boat / humans he ever saw! NICE shooting and great country!

[@TheWildNorth]

pretty sure i was the first and last human that beaver ever seen

[@rednecklowlife]

lol!

[@marcuscjimmy]

good ending . with driving the boat away from the camera👌perfect!!💯..

[@RecicledCanadian]

Andrew you are freaking sniper man. Good job brother.

[@MrSrtman18]

Yup. Loving this series a lot man! Awesome!

[@TheWildYam]

That place you showed us is a picturesque spot for an additional outpost. You could put up your canvas tent there. I bet you wouldn't be able to haul that in there until Winter though. A lot easier then.

[@TheWildNorth]

wont have to haul anything but my chainsaw theres enough big trees to build a log outpost im thinking n getting a alaskan mill and yes i wouldent try to haul anything in there i. the summer all the hauling gets done in winter

[@TheWildYam]

Alaskan mills are cool. You can probably make one too. I think there are how-to videos on KZbin.

[@harveypyke4897]

A damn fine day on the water.👍

[@parrotbill]

Look at you...posted this video 4 hours ago and already have near 600 views! Good doing friend!

[@TheWildNorth]

+Survivalist I sure enjoyed making the beaver camp series next week I am going sheep hunting for a week I will make a series then

[@dirtslingerx]

Not easy shooting out of a boat , love the videos .

[@TheWildNorth]

+Jeff Ritcey yeah wen i was younger i couldent hit jack shit shooting out of a boat there is a technique to it actually

[@SwampDonkey530]

Yep, I like the shot where you put the gopro bellow the dam and come up upon the infinity edge...gettin' fukin' good at this you!!!

[@TheWildNorth]

[@nightmare0161]

[@kan-zee]

Outstanding dinner on the table...!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Few beaver out there, nice work!

[@Dalen6969]

Really do wish these videos were in HD, but still they are good videos.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Dalen6969 i record em in hd but to upload a video in hd this length takes 6-8 hrs so if u know a way to convert and shorten up the time ill upload every video in hd.

[@muckingfuddled277]

& no Charlie to blame rocking the boat eh, lol, great vid. : )

[@coondogbob]

[@grousehunter67]

[@sargefaria]

+TheWildNorth right on bud. have to figure something out...would love to come up

[@TheWildNorth]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service get on it sarge after that then ill come down to maine maybe take a course in your school

[@sargefaria]

just checked on airfare, not too shabby at around a grand. I chose November 12th time frame, not sure what works for you? give me a shout sometime man and we can discuss more. now go shoot a chicken for me huh

[@TheWildNorth]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service oh anytimes good dates dont mean much to me ill be out there then it would be better end of nov then we know for sure th creeks ponds ground etc are frozen and we got enough snow to be able to travel the lines that time if year we could have no snow and not enough ice to safely cross the creeks seasons have been weird lately i dont think the grounds were froze enough till around nov 20th last year

[@ninjawasher]

Cooper go play somewhere else don't need you here. Great job Andrew and Dad another successful day out at beaver camp

[@jamesjahoda1613]

I like the parting camera shot. Nice going in all regards!

[@TheWildNorth]

[@ftwadair4203]

Freakin-A awesome videos !

[@d.a.r.123]

great videos

[@Simplyeffinastounding]

Stay #SimplyEffinAstounding @TheWildNorth

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Nice the hunt continues, lol. Cheers boys.

[@E.lectricityNorth]

What a great set of videos, nice job Andrew! I'm loving the hunt, the exploring and the sights and sounds of your hunting grounds. Do you practice shooting with your hmr, outside of regular use hunting and dispatching on the trap line? Seems like you are an experienced shooter for sure.

[@elitebowman5386]

Another good video Andrew. Looks like a lot of fun you and your dad are having. Making memories is a great thing. Nice to see you guys having the opportunity to do that. Nice video at the end. Takes a lot of time to do all that. What does your dad think of all that camera work you do? Does he bust you at all and say, "Come on Andrew lets just Effen go"? Haha. Dads are Old School you know.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Elite Bowman ha ha yeah that happens sometimes then i forget important tools if im rushed too much. He knows it takes time to film so its not so bad

[@elitebowman5386]

Lucky for us he doesn't mind. You must be at your camp? How often do you and your dad go back? Today is only the 5th and you filmed on the 3rd. I thought you guys were staying full time at Beaver camp. Great job on the beaver hoops. How far is your base camp from Beaver camp. Have a good weekend and thanks for sharing.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Elite Bowman its too hard and isolated to get to its about 15 or 20 miles down my trapline from my cabin way back in no mans land.i will probally go back for a night or two to check up on the place in july. then in october ill go for a week or so for a fall hunt . wen we got enough snow and trapping starts ill be there most everyday i guess cause ill pass by it checking traps daily

[@georgehopper7310]

That shotgun to starboard, is that a Winchester Ranger? Ho-hum, another fantastic video by the way.

[@TheWildNorth]

+George Hopper its not a ranger its a winchester 1300

[@hunt4fish]

Hey Andrew, nice pelts...........price shits now eh............lots of beaver meat, cheers

[@1970jeremiahjohnson]

great video! those mosquitoes look big enough to use the .17 on them.

[@TheWildNorth]

ha ha yeah man the scary part is there only getting started thats nothing compared to what the summer is going to bring

[@SwampDonkey530]

Now a person can't watch the great content anymore without suffering through the bullshit. Its never ending..and always in your face. Beaver camp is a long way off....sadly

[@CliffManis]

Enjoy watching...

[@thomaswilkinson3468]

That's bad ass!!

[@Tech_Planet]

I wonder how deep that lake is (@ the ice)?

[@TheWildNorth]

+JD Rock it would be a couple feet in mid wintet

[@Nerding4Nature]

You could make some nice felt hats with those. lol. What are beaver pelts used for these days anyway?

[@scottmccallum5545]

Keeping beavers warm.

[@TheWildNorth]

they make hats trim jackets blankets u name it they make it

[@jmluc90]

Hey Next time you leave charlie at home can you put a trail cam in the shack so we can see how he passes the time?

[@TheWildNorth]

+jmluc90 great idea in will do that someday soon

[@roningamin1391]

Andrew Question what was it in the spray bottle for the pelt that you were quick spraying? I'm guessing water... but I duno.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Dennis S it was raid bug killer I was killing some lice on them beaver pelts I don't spray em all just the ones that are infested

[@Joe.Rogan.]

Nice shooting.. people dont realize how hard it is to shoot a swimming beaver .. they're fast and your target is really small. A beavers head is only the size of a softball and you trying to hit the half thats showing about water. I missed my fair of shots.

[@TheWildNorth]

+PlacidDream yeah it can be tough that for sure wind sun everything makes a bigg diffrence

[@tbrowniscool]

What happened to your tooth? Best wishes from Yorkshire, England. Oh and what editing software do you use? I can help making the video fill the fullscreen. Its been bugging me a while.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Winstan got a flip up snare in the jaw a few years back spit my tooth out 3 weeks later

[@tbrowniscool]

Fuck that sounds like bad luck, Its been great seeing you work with your Father. I play cricket with mine(im 26) I would love to send you a Handmade English sleeping bag/Jacket.. (www.snugpak.com/military/military-sleeping-bags) This is the (Gucci kit) Been with you since the start and am enjoying the updates. I am the man to see about a "dog" What are your measurements? I assume you are my size from the video. I am 5'11 and 156 pounds www.snugpak.com/military/

[@TheWildNorth]

+Winstan that would be cool e mail me at [e-mail]

[@johnskinner3011]

too bad those mosquitoes on your hat or big enough to eat. LOL nice shooting

[@ultraczar6772]

when you're trapping beaver, how long can it be in the water dead and it still be good to eat?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Heath Breese I usually only eat shot beaver not too often i eat trapped beaver

[@ultraczar6772]

TheWildNorth That makes sense thank you.

[@buckweebit7357]

please post a vid of making the hoops and the wire things

[@TheWildNorth]

+ralf weebe there is one somewhere on my beaver camp series not sure which video or videos they were in u will have to search for em

[@kylemaynard6769]

Sir , I Love your videos but I really wish you'd not use the F word so I could let me grandkids watch your videos , keep the great videos coming. God Bless Kyle

[@bigbob1786]

why wouldn't you take charlie ?

[@LostCaper]

Do you guys eat them or just hunt for the pelt?

[@jamesmahonmac]

Watch his previous video it's all about cooking beaver

[@muckingfuddled277]

He donates a lot of the meat to the elders down town, have a nice day :)

[@bigcampnewyork3586]

Are you using your 17 on the beaver?

[@TheWildNorth]

yes i am useing my hmr its great for beaver

[@LostCaper]

I have to go shoot a few. Buggers are messing up the atv trail.

[@zeusapollo3873]

how much does a beaver pelt sell for

[@TheWildNorth]

depends every year is diffrent but i am guaranteed 25$ a beaver. the truth is i dont even do it for the money

[@bluedevilg3542]

Never had beaver meat were do I buy it

[@TheWildNorth]

+Hipolito Rivas you can not buy it not that I know of

[@indiegenre9333]

[@TheWildNorth]

+CA Shimray I am a canadian born and raised yes

[@550grizzly11]

[@TheWildNorth]

+Dean Dereworiz (Grizz) I have never ground it into burger no maybe one day I will

[@JamesBond-bc7xk]

+TheWildNorth that's great to hear man, that shit'll kill ya. and i rly enjoy ur videos so pls don't die on me here. even tho you probably have a lot more to worry about than tobacco.... like wolves and bears n shit haha

[@Tossdart]
