HAULING THE LARGEST LOAD OF WOOD IN MY LIFE WITH NEW SKANDIC - CAMPFIRE WITH FUNNY STORY

[@devooski4751]

I’m aboriginal North Ontario Canada. Our walls is 12 inches. We get minus 50 Celsius winters out here. With insulation in the foundation and in the roof and the walls. It takes my log two bedroom house 4 hours to warm up my entire house. After that when my house is out of fire logs. It takes 12 hours to go back cold. Even the heavy insulated house gets cold still. Just keep making your stove hot. It’s what it is.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

My house acts much the same way. Happy to say the residual heat leftover in the logs last a long, long time

[@PHorne]

Babeeee we here in Atlanta Ga can't get enough of a fried turkey or chicken bologna sandwich 🎉 Lol thanks for sharing ❤

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

We must be kin somehow! lol. Same here👍

[@leanatrulsen]

That sandwich looks great! Another heartwarming video, thanks!

[@codraven57]

A major mild for sure Chuck...........and the slob is no fun I know from experience. So lucky to have the burnt timber near by Chuck..........great chat.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Burnt timber makes my wood burning life experience unbelievably easier. So fortunate.

[@someone-ot9zm]

US Fish and Wildlife worker Richard Thomas theorised that a woodchuck able to excavate a typical 9m-long burrow from the earth could (should it be inclined) move the equivalent volume of wood. It equates to about 317kg “on a good day, with the wind at his back.” My name is Chuck also.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Hilarious!!! We have something in common brother. I’ve never heard it explained like that. Makes sense another Chuck would detail it like that though. Struck me funny. Thanks for the chuckle. 👍👍

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Wow ! Chuck that Skandic looks like a pretty nice sled for the job :) You have to love that woodstove & have a good supply ahead is the key :) I pull two sleighs once in a while but my Tundra gets over worked a bit from time to time, Great video !

[@verabixby4889]

Great video never seen the weather so mild when we lived there love the dog’s

[@davidpickens3117]

Thanks for your words of wisdom. Have you ever had someone say “WHAT’S UP CHUCK. Think about it for a bit and you’ll get it.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Oh yes absolutely….but probably only about 500 times so that’s not worth mentioning 😂😂

[@robfleming7044]

Great video. Miss the Maple Leaf Bologna and thick slices.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Me too bud. I recall it was cheap as dirt when we were young. Nowadays that sandwich would cost a fortune lol

[@tuckerandi]

Another great one Chuck, I would imagine you have chucked quite a bit over wood over the years lol. Take care

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha. Yes a bit!

[@joanwhitten3120]

I know now how much wood you can chuck lololol. Entertaining video and fun to watch. I see the pups still love tagging along with you. Looking forward to the next video.

[@KenC49]

Hi Chuck! Your dogs are so well behaved. And it's so obvious that they love riding on the skidoo. That was a real nice load of wood. I agree, get the wood home as quickly as possible , it can be delt with anytime once it's in your yard. The race against the melt. Lol.

[@Archieconan]

I’m sure his dogs are just sitting there wondering…who the heck are you talking to? 😆

[@KenC49]

@Archieconan I'm sure they just love spending time with their human dad. And a chance to get in on a tasty nibble of food.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Hahaha. They know the sound of the “beeps” on the GoPro. If I start up the camera inside my cabin they get really excited as they associate it with an outing 👍

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Out with uncle past couple days. We’ve had a couple great days riding.

[@KenC49]

@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors conditioned behavior. They know there'll be a treat at some point. Lol

[@johnnyyukon7887]

A fella would have to step on that sandwich to get it the cake hole! lol :)

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha!! Just the right size 😂

[@ScottMartin-kp5jt]

Great video buddy , you got a fine load of wood cut . That sandwich looks filling lol thanks for sharing and all the best buddy

[@bobdavis6862]

Do enjoy watching your videos, still. Lol

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

Great load of wood there buddy. great chat and a lunch got to love it. take care

[@jaylegere]

Excellent stuff, Chuck. That Skandic is a beast, and those pelicans are underrated. Now I need a balogna sandwich. Enjoy the snow while you have it. Jay

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I put an improvement on my pelican this past week to strengthen the side mounts. Good, cheap, practical gear. My theme entirely.

[@NLGhostWolf]

Another great vid, Dad jokes never get old. You need to try Cousin Jacks Sandwich, I'll have to send you the makings of it... Sounds awful, looks the the same, but tastes amazing....

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Sounds like my type of sandwich lol

[@birdmandave]

Great video Chuck. Not a lot of people understand you have to heat up everything, including the can of beans in cupboard 👍

[@Myles-ke2ni]

Love the vids keep them coming thank you

[@sharonwhite9449]

lol @ slob , only a Newfie calls it that .. I would have said slushy lol Another great video

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Hahaha. Either way, hateful to get stuck in. I zoomed in on you during the clip Russ sent in. I noticed you waving lol

Excellent. My young neighbours…the spouse is from Labrador.. New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Nice! By the way, we absolutely love NB

[@kevinricketts5310]

Wonderful

[@freenewfie]

That baloney sandwich looks like an absolute masterpiece, especially cooked over an open grill. That was a well explained description of why it takes so long for a wood stove to warm up my cabin or shed for those that are not familiar with heating. I think I will just direct them to this video for their enlightenment. I will use it as a second opinion, "if you don't believe me, check with Chuck, he chucks wood all the time". I think we all get teased with name calling sometime in life. My two favorites are "Ralphie, you're going to shoot your eye out" and your buddies calling out your name in the morning from the bathroom who indulged too much from the night before. Love your videos and greetings from Punta Cana.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Wonderful comment and I hope you are enjoying the Dominican Republic👍

[@trcass1]

great point about having to heat everything up. my basement remains at about 58. when i start the fire downstairs, it takes about 24 hours or so for it to come up to temp. Blaze King makes some really efficient stoves. nice that you have standing dead wood to cut. makes it a little easier not having to wait till it dries. love your new snow machine. thanks for sharing.

[@alicemorrissey2665]

Chuck my favorite sandwich Bologna !! Those dogs just love the snowmobile & you. Cheers

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

They follow me like a hawk. I can’t move but they want to go always. Great company. ❤️

[@tomgrantham9992]

Enjoy the Flats bye

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

That's the best burning wood you can get your hands on. A nice cup of tea to wash down that awesome sandwich is the topper.

[@robertsimard735]

Always said that I need a bigger sleigh. Them skandic can haul an awesome load on a pack trail. Sure you could hook up another two sleighs behind them two. Keep on cutting and enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for taking the time to share this and all the videos. Have a great week Wood Chuck.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Tks Robert. I know when conditions are good you could hook up additional sleighs for sure.

[@elizabethprickett7934]

Hey Chuck, another good video again, try saying ' Cheap sheep cheddar cheese' I was cooking and complaining about the cheese, and ended up coining this tongue twister😅😅

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Never heard that one before lol

[@maxlegge3522]

If a wood chuck could chuck wood how much wood would a wood chuck chuck !!! Have a great one !!

I never remember how the rest of the rhyme goes 😂

Excellent video can’t beat a cup of tea in the woods 👍

[@ecttreker9816]

Hey Chuck, when you were going over the "Wood Chuck" rhyme I like how you said you sometimes get a "Chuckle" Entertaining video as always sir. 👍👍 Oh yeah, and tell Bruce that he rules with the best version of um, um um ......

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha. I’ll let him know!! 😂

[@Fabiohatores]

This is the first time I see you wearing a helmet Chuck. Love the video and the message. I know for a fact that you spoke some thoughts that not everyone catch. Thank you. Really. I hope the next big 1000km trip comes soon, the rain is good but it just makes the snow unbearable. See ya!

[@andrewrolfe4334]

Thanks for another great episode, Chuck.

[@victorfortin542]

Nice load of wood. Hope the weather stays cold, can’t wait to try out my new helmet 😉 on the big upcoming snowmobile trip.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

[@n411xbushpilot]

Hi Chuck I bet it is disappointing to not have snow for your trip, but I was just thinking about how much I was looking forward to riding along with you from my arm chair. Wishing I could put some more miles on my expedition only only put 220 miles on it this winter but it’s Al ok. Great video as always, by the way I have used the windshield extension and love it thanks Chuck and your 4 legged riding buddy’s

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Doing a bit of scouting this weekend. Conditions are getting better.

You deserve a shoutout bud. Seems like most of the gear I’m using you’ve donated lol. Thanks again my friend

[@Zippy1wood.]

Great video I already told you in the fall we bought the same exact stove it’s April it’s unbelievable I think we burned less than 4 cord are only heat source Timber frame home with foam panels on outside its 36x40 keeps it at 70 plus depending on setting thanks again

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

It really is incredible. I went away for 20 hours this past weekend and still never had to put splits in. Three in new wood and away it went again!

[@boggyman1966]

Such a funny video Chuck! Especially eating your sandwich and talking about woodchuck chuck lol... Such an awesome load of wood (chuck) ! lol... keep the videos coming please! From Llew and Ethel of course!

[@stephenroberts6511]

Great video my friend Dogs sure are good companions I find best way warm up my cold cabin when I get there first I’d keep door open for while Heat from fire drives out the cold faster

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Good tip 👍

[@jimeverden2244]

There's a load and a half buddy. No problem for the SWT, I wouldn't say. Your mileage will get better when she's broke in. Having some fried bologna and eggs as we speak. Mm mm mm mm mm I bet you'd go through 8 or 9 cord if you didn't have that stove. I'm getting a Sirocco 20 for the house this year. Can hardly wait. Question: did you trim your snow flap? I was thinking about trimming mine off, it gets pulled under the track sometimes in deeper snow.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I didn’t trim it actually - comes from the factory now like that (skandic models)

[@robertsparkes4804]

Great video Chuck. Are you and the wife singing the theme song?

[@thomasanderson-cs8kp]

Hauling woods to windshelters here in Sweden . Dont you have Birch trees somewhere there ? Its the best for use . Regards again from Sweden

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes we do. And I do cut some occasionally. This burnt spruce is just so much simpler as the branches are singed/burnt off and there’s no need for seasoning. I also burn tamarack. Close to birch in its heat output

[@ryanaustin1570]

Hey could you show how or what you used to hook up the second sleigh to ? Was gonna do the same thing but just trying to see what would be strong enough :) please

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I think I may produce a KZbin short on it as I’m getting a ton of inquiries on it. Keep watching

[@jiminalaska]

Back in 72 we landed in Goose Bay on our way home from Germany and we were told it was 62 below zero. It was Dec 23. Does it get that cold or were they just jerking our chain. It was cold though.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I’ve not experienced it that cold, or, at least not that I can recall in my time in Labrador (30 years). However, it has been recorded officially even colder that that. Climate change has warmed things up considerably. I notice a huge difference even in the three decades I’ve been here. The coldest BASE temp I’ve seen is -44 C, and wind chill in the high -50’s

[@jiminalaska]

@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors how far are you from Goose Bay? Which direction

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

@@jiminalaska about 550 kms west.

[@northernmanitobaoutdoorfan7952]

Hey Chuck, did you buy your hitch for your sleigh somewhere or did you make it yourself???

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Are you referring to the hitch in the back of my sleigh? If so, yes, I simply attached it myself. It’s basically a door hinge bolted on to another plate inside the sleigh

[@waynegordon4018]

You forgot Willard da Chuck!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

But that’s my favourite!!! I don’t hear that enough! lol.

[@AnimalScenes]

What are the trailers behind the snowmobile called? I got a utv and would really find a use for this.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Trailers behind the snowmobiles? Not 100% sure what you are referring to…are you looking at the “sleighs” I’m wondering…if so, it’s a brand called pelican.

[@hamms5560]

What kind of wood do you prefer burning in your cabin?

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

That is spruce I’m cutting there. I also burn birch and tamarack. But I only burn that when it’s really cold outside as it’s a much hotter burning wood.

[@acdatz6222]

Great wood haul!!! What kind of hitch receiver did you put on the first sled to carry the second?

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

It’s actually just an old door hinge. It hasn’t let me down yet and I’ve been using it for years

[@acdatz6222]

@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors great idea!!! Thanks

[@stevebyrne1286]

You need to keep a "log" of all these "dry" jokes. I have a question that I'm sure you may have already touched on and the way my brain works I may have already asked you. Why is a permit required for burn over and dead fall? Its only 25 bucks so it's not like it's a big deal I just wondered and have heard many others ask too.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes we get asked this multiple times each year - almost as much as I’ve heard the wood chuck joke lol - a permit is like a hunting licence - even if you shoot one bird you need to get one - even tho shooting that one bird means absolutely nothing in the big pic. Maybe it part of the overall tracking scheme to see if there’s a manageable amount of cutting, hunting etc. I know we are actually one of the lucky provinces. Most won’t even issue permits to the public. I’m hoping they come out with an exception so that everyone named Chuck should get their permit free just because of all the Wood Chuck chimes they have to bear all of their lives 😂😂
