We Went WINTER CAMPING with a Toddler IN CANADA (slept in the snow)

[@flyingthenest]

We hope you all enjoyed this video it was such a memorable experience - let us know if you want to see more of these types of videos and where :)

[@Savvvv165]

Do you guys want another baby?

[@victoria5298]

Hey, just so you know those weren't Birchwood leaves, they're pine tree branches. ☺️

[@adriannacabrera9013]

I really enjoy watching all your family existences ❤️❤️

[@sarah-phillips]

As a parent, I love just seeing you travel as a family as we love doing so with our own kids. These types are really cool and fun to watch - not many folks winter camp. And literally staying IN the Great Barrier Reef was awesome. Maybe someplace along the coast? Beach camping? The Northern California coast is beautiful. Or many national parks in the US have lodging inside the park. Safe travels!

[@Lynseycostello77]

You guys are very brave to go camping in northern Ontario in the winter!! Not many Canadians would do this lol.

[@cvbnmqwas]

Hunter’s giggles are the cutest! I remember my late grandpa, he used to do the “ahhhh” sound after sipping his coffee, and my little cousins would drink and do the ahh sound too. This video brings back old but good memories.

[@ceciliam9922]

Hunter indeed is a “Shining Star”! 🌟 She’s so blessed to have amazing parents. And you two are so blessed to have an adorable, sweet, and happy little girl !❤️ Continue creating priceless memories and adventures .

[@TheNothern_]

As a Canadian, it makes my heart smile seeing you guys enjoy my homeland!!! Cheers from Alberta ❤❤

[@colinchan1]

Congrats on getting Hunter to wear her gloves :) It's adorable watching her charm everyone that meets her. It's funny that the two of you are doing winter camping because very few Canadians have ever done it - usually only during the other seasons.

[@aciel0983]

As someone who have panic disorder, watching Hunter really makes me feel calm and relaxed. She is adorable

[@roses2722]

Same and it’s good knowing I’m not alone

[@helgamcmullen9362]

You are raising Little Shining Star to be a wonderful person. Showing her the world,at a young age, instills in her compassion and acceptance. Thank you for being great parents.

[@alliecurrie4693]

Hunter is literally the cutest thing on the face of the planet. I just can’t get over her. 🥰 what an epic trip so far.

[@LizHouck]

Wow! What an amazing and spiritual experience! I was teary eyed when little Hunter was named “shining star” what a blessed experience!❤️ Thanks for bringing us along!

[@peggymurphy2783]

FYI the branches on the floor aren’t birch but rather balsam fir. Birch is deciduous and looses its leaves in the fall. Glad you enjoyed Temagemi, and you are right you should come back for a canoe trip.

[@francescadiana]

Everyone has been so genuinely sweet with Hunter! You've met some very special people there 😊

[@brittanyjerome6268]

I love how loving and enduring hunter was during the smudging. She truly embodied the experience for being just a toddler. I love how open you guys are to other cultures and beliefs.

[@michellethurgood2214]

You should be so proud of your Hunter she is so smart, happy and very adorable and that’s all because you’re such great content parents. Well done x

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Hunter was absolutely adorable with the two gentleman guides on the little couch. So sweet!

[@laurageiendorfer7144]

Hunter is just the most adorable person! Impossible not to love her

[@bobbiejay2085]

A 'welcome to country' in the wilderness. Enchanting. Being in touch with nature is the most authentic visit. This episode is that. Little Hunter will remember those drums and warm welcome.

[@nairbvel]

Hunter's laughter is just one of the most precious sounds I've heard in a long time. :-) After watching this video, I now have some new activities on my bucket list...

[@henrikkoukku2896]

All of these KZbin videos (atmosphere, background music...) you’ve made are addictively wonderful to watch.😍👍🏼😉 Thanks.

[@nb5871]

You and your little family make my heart melt!...Thank you from Canada! 🥰

[@petersymonds4975]

Hello all. About 20 years ago I went on a tour in March that called into Yosemite National Park. Most of us coach going tourists were middle aged but there was a family of Australians on the tour. They had two young girls. They had not seen real snow before and at the park entrance we had to pull over and the driver had to put snow chains on the wheels. While the driver was busy I’ve seen so many middle aged adults playing in the snow with these Ozzie kids. We were snow-balling, making snowmen and snow angels. Never seen so many adults playing in the snow.

[@terryomalley1974]

Boy, you guys are really going all in on roughing it, Canuck-style! I've lived here my entire life and even I've never gone winter camping in the wilderness. It's great that you've opted for a true experience of authentic Canadiana, rather than the usual touristy things I've seen in other videos of people visiting Canada (CN Tower, Niagara Falls, etc...). It's comparable to if I ever visited Australia, camping in the outback. Love the joy on Hunter's cherubic little face. She looked so tiny and cute nestled in between those grisly Canadian woodsmen. Good on ya! Think you'll be back in Southern Ontario before you leave?

[@terryomalley1974]

@@alowishusabercrombie8318 Boo!!! Why so negative. The little gal is obviously loving every minute of it. Hint: just because your life sucks doesn't mean you have to shit on other people's joy.

[@estherwalker7862]

Hunter is So Smart, So Cute, And Happy. Hunter Is So Teachable. Beautiful Genuine Family. Love Your Channel.

[@cocoshuimu]

Every episode with you is a new experience. Thanks for reminding us that the world is so beautiful. 💕 There is something out there that keeps us stay hopeful.

[@carolehanrahan]

It's awesome to see you all enjoying the best of what Canada has to offer in the middle of winter. It would be fun to see you come back during our summer months so that everyone around the world understands that Canada doesn't always have snow. A lot of people assume that Canada is a frozen place year round but we have some amazing summers too. Hunter makes me smile every single time and her laugh is the most contagious thing.

[@chantallabelle8571]

I am a Canadian and I am happy that you enjoy Canada. Yes, we want to see other adventures like this. Hunter seems to really enjoy it!

[@jasmine.louise5183]

Everytime I watch your videos I can't help but feel like you guys gave managed to give yourself and your beautiful daughter a live worth living. You guys are humanity at its best; travelling, sharing stories and culture, and bringing up your child with nature rather than screens.

[@melindawood323]

When I was a baby, my Moma called my pacifier a “dum dum binky “. You are the only one besides her I’ve heard reference a pacifier with “dum”my in it. It made me smile as I just lost both of my parents due to a tragic car accident. Thank you for the smile. ❤️

[@lynettecheesman6759]

Well done, I loved Winter camping. I came to Canada in 1990 and joined a Canadian Scouting Rover crew, and we camped all year round. But amazing you did it with a toddler. I am living just North of Toronto, and love how close the wilds are. Have fun with all the Canadian Winter activities, hope to see you, ice skating on a frozen lake and enjoying eating Beaver tails! Keep warm, it's chilly out there.

[@vickiesandover6008]

You guys are amazing parents, amazing human beings. You are giving Hunter her best life. Keep up the good work 😃

[@yogerke]

Hunter is blessed to have you guys and you showing her so many cool things

[@unattendedgrandma4073]

Where I work of the faculty members smudges his clasroom each morning. To me it is a thoughtful invitation for students to open their minds. I feel quite special that I receive the residual affects just before beginning my day.

[@lisag5670]

What a beautiful experience for all 3 of you, especially Hunter. Steve & Jeff I want to congratulate you for being such awesome parents to your little “shining star.” She’s going to learn so much. Oh and as a parent, I know what it’s like for Hunter not to have her dummy…awww poor baby. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with all of us ❤️

[@kateur9923]

Baby giggles are the best, thanks for making my day Hunter

[@daniellew42]

Awe so cute. Hunter needs a matching cat beanie to match her gloves. 😍

[@minnaminna2062]

She'll need what ever kind of beanie! This was so hard to watch.

[@aadretachakraborty5292]

You guys are the best... The way you are raising hunter is sooo inspiring...love to see, how she is adapting all the adventures so quickly when sometimes we grown ups can't do... Your videos are not only about the adventures but also about life in general, how to live... And this is the essence of FTN. Now I am waiting for the next part of this trip... Lots of love to you guys... and many kisses and blessings to little hunter... ❤️

[@michelekendzie]

I watched this while snow is falling outside my window here in Virginia. I'm impressed you went camping in winter. Such adventurers! I loved how the men talked to Hunter as she sat between them. I hope she let the pacifier go easily. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@seanhaugen2437]

Have to say that this probably my favourite video that you guys have done. Canadian hospitality is amazing.

[@katrinamcphee4899]

Once I have watched this video I will have completed watching every video of yours from the very first one to the present (18/1/2022, 1:53am in Adelaide). I have done this in about a month. I only started from your first video in the week or two before Christmas 2021, before that I watched your various travel playlists in reverse chronological order, unfortunately. After doing that, I realised there were more videos to be found that weren't in the playlists so I decided to go to the very beginning and here I am, all caught up, it has been very interesting watching you all grow as people over your years (my weeks) and the quality of your videos improve every day. Also I have been sure to press the like button on each and every video and watched some more than once (travel series). So you're welcome for the thousands of likes and views lol. I'd love it if you could let me know how many videos you've posted so I know how many i've watched and the minutes of content if youtube shows you that. Keep up the travels! I'm currently on a gap year just after finishing high school before uni, I plan to work for the next few months then either go to Canada or Queensland (very different I know) for the remainder of the year. P.S. I am half Canadian, half Australian.

[@cass060stk]

Hunter is so cheeky and cute! Just melts my heart x

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Hunter’s snow suit was absolutely precious!

[@christinampoutrou7326]

Wow so special. Love these friendly Canadians. Hunter is too much! Adorable.

[@SilviaOdler]

Little Hunter is handling super well with the cold weather out there and snow then I would do.So brave..Enjoed this vlog.Can't wait for your another adventure.

[@JC-pq4ul]

Wow! Hunter has already had so many great adventures with the two of you! That was so nice to see the sharing of the Indian culture with everyone! Your videos are very entertaining and educational. Thank you again for sharing!

[@vanessavanderkramer6588]

Just love this vlog! So special and really enjoying the cultural aspect. I think when God blessed you with a baby, he selected Hunter personally so that you could all enjoy the world around you with her. What a little trooper she is! Your vlogs just get better and better, if that was possible. Just brilliant! Xxxx

[@tinamexico1604]

You are are so blessed/lucky to share all this with your daughter...

[@kirstenlindsay5872]

I love hunter she is like a snow queen . Giggling

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Ooh, the tent looked so cozy! What lovely view you share. Stunning.

[@annescholl420]

That was so special! Thank you for sharing this adventure! For shower the ritual with the Tribe was so impactful! May Hunter someday see how much you both love life and God’s children! She is a true snow ❄️ bunny 🐰 🙏🥰🙏

[@miniskooliewanda]

There is so much I loved about this vlog...watched it with a smile on my face the whole time. Hunter has the best parents and I'm so happy for her that you're making these videos because she is too young to remember them but when she'll be a bit older and watch herself doing all these amazing things, well, I think you're setting her up for success as an adventurer, world traveller and nature-lover. Kudos to you both. I loved watching Hunter try hot chocolate and those big burly men talking to her like she's an adult and not talking down to her was so cute. Truly a heartwarming vlog. The only one little thing that's wrong with it...sorry to correct you Jess, but you said it multiple times haha...those are not birch tree leaves (birch isn't an evergreen....maybe balsam?). Thanks again for sharing your wonderful adventures! Sending much love from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 🤗🤗🤗

[@lorihalley3529]

I'm so glad you're enjoying your trip to our country! You've inspired us with your fabulous winter camping trip, since I live in Ontario, Canada and have never tried it!

[@Manojkumar-nt8mp]

super excited to see this notification

[@tinamexico1604]

Your friends were amazing with Hunter..such beautiful souls and the first nation people!!🤗

[@NZKiwi87]

That First Nations bit was amazing, I got goosebumps. Thank you for including such an important part! Magical 💙

[@michellep2541]

After watching your amazing adventures all over, it’s so exciting to see you guys in Canada doing some of the same things I do with my family! You guys are troopers! Doesn’t matter where you are what you are doing you enjoy everything so much. Hunter little snow onesie is the cutest ever

[@indirakuriyan9366]

I had a school called Shining Stars in Visakhapatnam, India. That's what I envisioned, every child - a Shining Star. Hunter is one awesome kid!

[@shelleybergen1232]

So glad you came back to Canada with little Hunter. We live in such a beautiful country! I live in Manitoba which is in the prairies which has plenty of rivers for canoeing and plenty of beautiful forests. I would love to see you on a canoe expedition in Canada! It's one of my husbands favourite things to do!! Love you videos!! Happy travels!!

[@sarahrutledge7462]

Literally grew up an hour north from there! SO excited that you guys are exploring what many Ontario friends have never seen! (so thank you!!) Stay warm!

[@TheZeyre]

Delighted to be catching up with you! So glad you survived winter camping and it was not -25 C which would have been just harsh! We had a month of -25 to -35 C in Alberta but mild winter camping is definitely fun! Come to Alberta in the spring, summer and fall for Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Calgary and Edmonton. Train through the Rocky Mountains to Vancouver if you can... Happy trails! Your little Hunter is adorable! Xoxk Joanne 🇨🇦

[@coc9066]

Hello I'm from Indonesia

[@hammockinparadise]

What an incredible experience! The tent looks warm and amazing. Hunter looks just as happy as both of you. 💜Hunter in the sled is adorable. 🛷

[@goldtopazasylum]

what an awesome setup, love that you had couches and chairs,so cozy! and Hunter's look on her face when she grabbed the asparagus and tasted it,LOL

[@sandrajewitt6050]

Love to see a canoe trip. It's great when you come visit Canada. Your love for our country always shows.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

What an awesome fantastic video wauw 🤩 truly a beautiful memorial time ( For Hunter too look back on) Hunter giggles in the slee, just watching her Face light up,with fascination,joy I can see you going Back once Hunter bit older to do more of those Adventures 😜😍. Sure been an eye open Canadian series 🥰🥰 Thank you so much for taking us along .safe travels & Take care

[@CaitlinBakker]

This video was really special for me. When I was a kid I spent my summers at a camp in Temagami, on Lake Temagami. It's a beautiful place and it's a really small town. I've never been there in the Winter and I loved seeing your Winter camping experience, as well as all of your experiences camping. Thank you.

[@dragonmac1234]

The last time I watched this channel Jess was pregnant. Life and a certain world event slowed me down for a while, but I'm back and I have a lot of videos to watch and catch up on your lives :)

[@boltonsrus1]

I can’t work out if I watch your videos for the epic adventures or Hunters glorious expressions as she experiences new things. It’s pretty 50/50 at the moment!

[@lynnecollins3284]

Another fantastic video, sure makes me want to go and experience a night in the snow. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next video. All the best.

[@AlbertaAdventurerFamily]

Such a cool experience for you guys love camping in winter in a hot tent! Nice you had mild weather! Thanks again for the great video! See you next time! 👍✨AA Family

[@lauraschuller672]

Yes would love to see you guys on a canoe trip with little Hunter

[@ladymc2021]

LOVE this video so much! That little Hunter is such an amazing sweetheart 💕 She is such an adorable pumpkin and is doing so well! You definitely would of had to go through the dummy withdrawal regardless, so I say keep going with it! I also would say another trick is to put the remainder of her dummies into a fancy bag whenever she finds them and say you will give them to the fairies for the babies that need them as she is all grown up! Put it on a tree limb overnight and in the morning take the bag down and tell her the fairies have taken them to all the babies that need them! So many parents I know have done this and has worked like a charm! Otherwise, if you just hide them from this point, I am sure she will get used to it. I also love those ideas about the ice fishing and activities in the summer! They sound amazing!

[@heatherr3697]

That was truly one of the best blogs I couldn’t stop smiling , hunters laugh is so beautiful and honestly the guys camping people were really nice and wow all that snow ,, and aww hunter you done well without your dummy ❤️

[@mrscb5303]

I’m so amazed at how you guys adventure! I just get so happy when I see a new video in my list. Also Hunter’s laugh, that is the medicine I needed today 💚 we need an dummy update!!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Please do more tours with this group! They were so cool!

Hunter's little "aaah"s OMG MY HEART :D

[@tinacote1752]

Beautiful video, love it ❤ we were glad to be a part of it

[@shizzybroon6496]

This was such a lovely video, put a huge smile on my face. I especially loved when Hunter was copying one of men by going "aaah" after drinking the hot chocolate.

[@IrisTheRoach]

hunter is gonna be the best youtuber ever if hunter does youtube at the older age:)

[@siciurynka]

I'm so glad you do all this for me :D. Love watching adventures that I would never dare to do myself.

You have the best ideas ever. So much fun. Never stop and enjoy💖💖💖

[@helenstratigos4862]

OMG - I was going to express concern and fear about hypothermia, but your hosts were absolutely awesome and had you all beautifully sorted! What an amazing surprise with your Indigenous visitors - really memorable! I can’t believe the quality of your dinner as well. Great experience enjoying our country! Many Canadians have NEVER done anything like this so maybe this will inspire them to not see the snow and cold as a curse! 😂

[@verasloboda3831]

Hello from Mississauga, Ontario. We love our beautiful Canada 🇨🇦. You can do so many different activities each season.

[@ericakataquapit]

Hunter is living the dream... snacking while be pulled on a sled. I also love seeing Hunter enjoy the smudge.

Loved this video so much , that was really a beautiful adventure. You Canadians are really wonderful people. Hunter your are the cutest in the world

[@jenniferdoering2303]

Wonderful video! So glad that you enjoyed your outdoor Canadian experience. Just a quick note....those branches on the floor in your tent are likely spruce branches, not birchwood. From a fellow Canadian and botantist :)

[@kyrawade1191]

I enjoyed this video very much!!! Doing adventures with Hunter are very fun to look at. She is very smart and very intelligent. Yes please by all means keep up with the great training of weening Hunter off of the dummy. It is so much better now after the initial night. If you get one now it will be harder to get her off. Trust me, I learned by experience.

[@missfrezy4323]

I am jelous to baby hunter that she experience this kind of adventure i love it that i can see how happy she is❤❤❤

[@Lisa-it5cq]

Great video. We are also planning a Canadian trip to fish. I love watching you learn about the tribe. I really wanted Hunter to have a hat on her little Aussie head. Brrrrrr. :-)

[@shopaholic177]

Never in my life would I have even thought to do this and I’m Canadian 😂 kudos to you guys for trying something that most tourists might miss, what a wonderful, educational, and unique experience. Glad you loved your time here in Canada!!!

[@cheryl5601]

Not Birchwood but either pine, spruce or fir boughs. They all smell wonderful. Glad you are taking Hunter with you on all of your adventures. Too many parents leave their children home while they holiday. Come to Alberta some time , tonnes of winter and summer adventures.

[@OutbackRose7]

Can Stephen and Jess possibly film another Q&A? I've been around for a few years now but I think it would be nice to see a new, updated one. 🥰

[@janedavidson8348]

I enjoyed watching all your videos and have a little one with you, “Hunter” she is the cutest, funniest, love able, prettiest one. She Adapts so well to every element that you bring Hunter too. Hunter is very very lucky to have amazing parents like the both of you are. Can’t wait to see what is next. I can’t wait.

[@jennistevenson796]

Loved it, so felt for you with Hunter and no dummy ! X

[@sarah-phillips]

What a cool camping trip! Winter camping is definitely it’s own special experience. My husband and I have the same mentality as you: we love traveling and doing things as a family. And okay, Hunter straight up looks like a little fawn in that snowsuit - so cute! She looks to be having a blast in the snow.
