[@justvin7214]

I like what Sandra did, that reflective blanket looks so much better up out the way. Shelter is looking great. I wouldn't worry too much about replying to every comment - if less replying means more vids it's a good thing IMO. Keep up the good work and can't wait for your next trip out there.

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks Vin, yeah I really like how the roof and reflective sheets came out. Thanks a lot for the comment! I'm glad you enjoy to videos. Lots more vids to come.

Mike and Sandra nice video...I would have trimmed those on an angle(30 or 45 degrees) at the outside log so it would have not cut or ripped the tarp,round the top just slightly, but that is JMO.....the extra strength under heavy snow would help the roof. Great video folks....again we have -30c in Thunder Bay today and tonight....cheers Fred

[@Thg1034]

First off thanks for another awesome video. Now this is your shelter, but if you was to bring the tarp down like 6 inches leave it hanging down but tie off to sides. Then you can tuck your plastic in behind it on those side poles you got. That would create a more draft free system. Butyou do this way more than me, so lookng good, keep up great videos.

Vietnamese noodles (not just "Asian"). It's called Phở and is pronounced with a high rising tone (the diacritical mark above the vowel) something like a question mark rising tone in English. E.g. Fuh? I studied Vietnamese (Southern dialect) while in the U.S. Navy. Vietnamese food is very delicious. Wonderful language , although challenging to speak for this Westerner. :) . . . . . . Great job of upgrading your shelter!

Hey Mike and Sandra. A short trip but you got a lot done. You ought to get one of those metal tripod setups for the fire. Since your setup is sort of there for the long haul. Great video, thanks for sharing

[@jackmehoff2961]

Gather up chunks of pine sap. It makes great fire accelerant, great for starting fires in wet weather.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Camp keeps looking better by firelight! Smoke seems to be a problem. Evergreens are always smokey. Burning hardwood is one solution, if you have it available. At least, our intrepid couple ends up having fun!

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks James, we're always having fun!

[@nancywarren608]

Good lessen learned. Keep some wood under the tarp.

[@jacqueline7118]

Looks like you are ready for winter, what a great shelter! You guys put a lot into it and now you can enjoy the spoils of all your hard work. That Pho looked awesome and on a cold day, nothing better than a hot meal! Will you be sticking with your original fire pit or going with a long fire type? I saw a video not so long ago with a long fire type, there were two lines of rocks running parallel with the shelter, the fire in between. Looked neat and seemed to work really well, less processing of wood too. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing your first night with the new mods!

[@snowfire5050]

I opened my You tube to a channel I thought was yours It is called IamOutdoors and I thought it was you. Imagine my surprise when I saw a young Russian fellow instead of a Canadian couple. He was building a supershelter too It was good but not as entertaining as you both. Nice job on your winterizing, I know it is going to be nice and warm and that you will have tons of fun, Merriest of Christmases and the best new year. Love from Nova Scotia

Another wonderful video of the shelter and the progress for winter camping I was just wondering if putting a tarp over the fire pit would help keep it dry for the next time? I don't know just my 2 cents worth and we know that aint much these days. Hope to see you all again before Christmas but if no Merry Christmas!

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Hi there Jo! Yeah, I wish I had stored some of the branches away before the freezing rain hit. I might try to dry some on a future trip and then keep it in the wood shelter.

[@charlesbrightman4237]

At the end of this video, it reminded me: Away in the manger, no crib for a bed .......... The soups on the fire and we have logs for a bed ......... The reflectors are overhead to help us keep toasty and warm ......... And our love for each other will keep our heart healthy and warm ........ (Hey, it's a work in progress. All suggestions welcome. Peace and Love to all.)

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Sometimes rushing to get things done actually ends up taking more time than doing it properly the first time. If you get ALL of your firewood prepped before you light your tinder and kindling, you won’t be scrambling around so much. Doing a proper fire lay (log cabin or teepee) - before you light anything - instead of just a mound of wood (what I call the “beaver lodge fire” lol) will usually produce much better results. Just my point of view and not a criticism

[@debyfalkner8628]

Why don’t you put a bunch of the branches you use to help start the fire in your wood shed so they don’t get wet?

[@IamOutdoorsy]

I will be trying to dry some in future trips, then I'll add some in the wood shelter. Thanks Deby.

[@private15]

Putting an old plastic or melamine coffee mug over the end of a pole will protect the tarp from sharp wood edges. Old Boy Scout trick. Also burn those cardboard boxes from the new tarps. 🙄

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Thanks for the tip Diane!

[@roald48]

Why not put one end of the trees into the fire and when they burn up, just keep shoving them into the fire and save yourself energy and time to finish more projects?

[@IamOutdoorsy]

I do that pretty often when we have a more open fire pit. I works great and you're right, it saves time.

No worries michael, I always appreciate feedback. We do have a wood shelter that we built so I can easily access dry wood if I need it. I kind of wanted to test to see if a couple of fat wood sticks and the evergreen branches together would be a viable way to start a fire even when the branches were a bit wet. Turns out it "kinda" worked 😄. Next time I'll be a bit less lazy and get some good kindling.
