Keep an eye out for more videos coming soon! I'm currently editing my first camping trip with Naomi filmed along the lake we passed while hunting. I filmed over 250 shots for it, so it looks like it will be a long one! Don't forget to like and share if you enjoyed, and leave some feedback on what you liked or disliked. It's lets me know where to improve and make these videos possible in the future! Thanks for watching! - Nicholas 🤠

Good to see you again my friend! Beautiful pup you have there. Can't wait for the camping trip video 🤠

Thanks! The camping video is shaping up to be a good one - about half way through editing now!

Somehow the vibe of this video felt a bit like a post apocalyptic movie. Awesome video, thanks! Greetings from Holland.

It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. ✌

Congrats on the new pup, Naomi. She's a great looking dog and seems to be comfortable outdoors with you already. Nice hunt and cook with the grouse. Peaceful sixteen minutes that kept me intrigued the whole way through. Good to see you again, and looking forward to more of your work. Cheers! Pete - KI7LIL

[@tobiasball5225]

Excellent. Outstanding video. Life that day looked pretty good.

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! It was pretty damn good. It was real exciting finding that abandoned ranch. I'd like to do a video of "exploring it" (I already have but I think it's still worth showing), but I think someone owns the property it's on now 🤔

[@djy0tub3r]

Well done. I hope to see more of these.

[@wituikbws]

I am hoping to film a hare hunting video off my horse next week, should be similar to this one assuming I actually shoot one

[@djy0tub3r]

@@wituikbws are you going to build a shelter and hunt as well? Have you ever used a portable wood stove in a shelter before? Keep up the great content!

Superb quality as usual. What an awesome companion you have by your side.

Thank you! She really is - kept a cougar away from camp while out filming my next video. Without her I wouldn't have known it was around 🐶

I love your Videos! Greetings from germany 👏🏼

[@rkf2746]

Great video!! Naomi seems to have a nose for hunting. Does she have some Setter in her? It will be fun to watch her grow nd gain experience. After 72 years on this ole earth, I have concluded there are only three things a man truly needs: a good gun, a good horse, and a good dog. Everything else is just fluff.🤠 Take it easy Nicholas!!

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! She's a mix of Anatolian Shepard (Kangal), Border Collie, and Great Pyrenees. She definitely got more of the Kangal looks and personality though. She's let me know there are predators by my camp twice in a row now (last time it was a cougar), when I otherwise would've had no idea. Sounds about right though! Take it easy! 🤠

[@pauldavies9360]

Fantastic stuff! Nice waxed Pack & boots too 👌

[@wituikbws]

Thanks!

[@stevefisher2121]

Excellent video content and editing as always!!! I would love to see another "canoe adventure" - might be a little too late for that now??? Maybe another cabin video? I love the multi-day videos personally. God bless and safe travels.

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! There is a really nice high mountain lake nearby. It's surrounded by peaks and has natural rainbow trout in it. I'm planning to get up there early November and film some canoeing if I can, but I have so many other things going on that I want to film, I have no idea if I'll have the time for it. I will be doing some multi-day videos though! Thanks for the comment 🤠

[@joseuribe430]

love the little tin you have, the one with spices. Where did you get it? Oh, by the way keep up the great work on your videos

[@natfazio2190]

Welcome back, it's been a wile. Always enjoy your video's. Good looking new pup, if you don't mind me asking, how is the other pup. See ya.

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! It has been awhile. My old dog, Comet (the one that looked like a sheep), passed away earlier in the year. She was the best dog, old age just caught up to her after 11 years

[@Hewau-fj5zz]

Labrador tree has become a rare species of plant in Korea. The leaves you harvested looked familiar to me, so I searched the internet and found Korean name of it. According to the information u found, we should not boil the leaves as they release toxins. I am not sure that is true, but I heard from people that we need to be cautious. Personally, I like the flavor of the tea though. You can put the leaves in distilled alcohol and keep it for at least three months and drain it and age it as long as you like. The taste of the wine is really good. Some say that if you have a low blood pressure, you should not take it. Even this advice, I am not sure

[@두잇두잇-b3h]

What a wonderful video! Did you change the camera or somthing? I love your videos all the time but this one, I can see improvement!

[@wituikbws]

Same camera as usual! I have been working on my colour grading however, so that might be the difference you are seeing. Everything is a little more vibrant than my past videos 🤠

[@OrderOfWoods]

Great adventure! I always admire your vintage style gear. That rucksack, did you made yourself or the frame? Looks great! 😯✌️ I wondered when you will use your gun. 🤠👍 Loved it! 👋🇱🇹 btw happy to see Naomi on her first hunting trip. 🐶

[@wituikbws]

The pack and frame started out as a Camp Trails Cruiser, but I customized it a lot since I got it. It's a mix between a Trapper Nelson and a modern frame pack now. Works great so far!

[@OrderOfWoods]

@@wituikbws Niiice! ✌️

[@Hoppie1983]

Wonderful video! What breed is she? Never seen a dog like her before

[@wituikbws]

She's a border collie and kangal mix with a little bit of pyrenees too. She's definitely way more kangal though aside from the colouring

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome pup! I've picked Labrador Tea all over Western and Northern Canada...for decades...but just recently read there are a few varieties that are toxic! Now I'm second guessing nyself. Any thoughts?

[@wituikbws]

I read those same articles! From what I understood it was only toxic in extremely high amounts, so I don't really worry about it. It's my favourite tea too so it's worth it if it is! 🤣

[@marianfrances4959]

@@wituikbws Thanks, bud!

[@trevolutionary3]

Naomi is a beautiful pup! Just curious, what boots are you wearing here? Cheers!

[@wituikbws]

These are Georgia packer/roper boots. They're a good middle ground between a lace up hiking or work boot and a cowboy boot. Good ankle support, a little bit of grip, have a steel toe, but still fit a stirrup 👍

[@scottoppelt]

Loved the video!!! is that a 20 guage ? what kind of gun?

[@wituikbws]

This time I carried a Cooey Model 60 in .22LR. I have two of them, both from each of my grandfathers. This rifle is a mix of the stock from one and barrel assembly from the other, so technically I'm using both at once 😆

[@jacobf5776]

👍 been a while, good video. No more “big assed knife” ? :)

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! I just wanted to change it up for once, but it will be back 😎

[@kmlivelifeadventure]

Anyway you could fix up and stay at the abandoned ranch?

[@wituikbws]

I wish !

[@briandickerson3243]

What bag are you using here?

[@wituikbws]

It was originally a Camp Trails Cruiser pack and frame, but I did so much to it it hardly resembles them anymore. I ended up cutting the frame down, adding a canvas backing from a Trapper Nelson pack, tin clothing the fabric, etc. I'd just call it a custom pack at this point 😆

[@HanHongOutdoors]

wow beautiful video homemade backpack???

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! Yes, it's a custom pack I have been working on for a year now

[@HanHongOutdoors]

@@wituikbws fantastic!

Good one... having done the same kind of day not in the Chilcotin, but south of you in the Okanagon. Could smell the pine and the Grouse breasts roasting.

Hope you had some good hunting! There are grouse everywhere up here, most I've ever seen 👍

[@wituikbws]

She is a kangal/border collie mix, but definitely has more of the kangal in her

[@wituikbws]

Close, it's an old Schrade. The boots are Georgia, but I have worn similar ones that are Redwing in other videos

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Enjoyed your video greatly. But...its never a good idea to prop a shotgun or rifle against a tree - loaded or not. (`Cos its always loaded.)

[@wituikbws]

I don't mind doing it since I never keep a round in the chamber. Can't go off if the firing pin can't strike anything. Sure, it's not the safest practice and it may bite me in the ass one day if I screw up, but I refuse to lay my rifles down in snow or mud. They get beat up enough just by me using them 🤣
