Ice Fishing With The Military Speedhook Survival Trapping Kit (87 days ep. 21)

[@robertrowan8174]

Mr. Fowler, you are truly talented. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS....AMAZING!!!

[@graylinshowell7051]

For two years I have lived in Maine and had people tell me I was crazy for going camping in the cold and this past weekend I just found the show Alone and your KZbin channel. I feel a little less crazy now.

[@thatrealba]

Winter camping is the best of all. Enjoy it man!

[@incaroads001]

It was so great to see you say grace at the end. Your friend's antics in the background were hysterical. Thanks.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

:) thanks for watching

[@tannertesseneer621]

I'm 13 and I love going outside and building Forts and catching stuff to eat and you taught me so many different traps and stuff and I thank you

[@debdeb2185]

You are the REAL deal. I'm glad I ran across your channel. Both informative and amusing.

[@thomaspasqualone7584]

I am impressed with the slingshot. I don't think enough folks realize just how useful one would be in a survival situation. Thanks for the video.

[@himekokatagiri949]

Also love it when Chris the assistant joins in on the video

[@Red_Proton]

I found those speed hooks quite a few years ago. I've got a bunch now. I keep a kit in each bag, and I keep a few speed hooks in each kit. I love them, they work great!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Yeah they do

[@z3n63]

my first video... and i have to say fish head soup works wonder's. You are a blessing from above.

[@daviddewein637]

Chris was having a heck of time with that chair! 😆🤣 Keep living the dream, guys!!

[@KayakingCalifornia]

Oh that sliding across the ice segment was sooooo funny.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

:)

[@travissmith5336]

Rewatching some old stuff waiting on the new but to be honest your videos are timeless

[@reedcooper6545]

Awesome you stopped and prayed!

[@debonairedragon]

Great to see you having so much fun after everything you have been through the last few months 😊

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

i.kaslar yes !!! thanks for watching!!

[@dukethebrute4557]

Ice dancing to stay warm. Yall are fun to watch. Keep it up bubba

[@rockinrenoMC]

Thank you for another great uplifting video!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

your welcome

[@MchaelTeeter]

Great video Fowler! One of my favorites so far. Go fishing.😊

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Cane & Pole thanks

[@dakotaquillen96]

I use those water bottle traps all the time to catch bait for catfish i love them their so simple and awesome

[@marcinszypulski8707]

Flover 's this my Best Fevorit Yotubers from Survival and Live ... 👍👍👍goods metod fishing. 👍👍👍

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Marcin Szypulski thanks !

[@countryside_guy]

Just came across your channel, I like it. I'm homeless in the Scottish Highlands so I am surviving 24/7. I hope to learn something from you.

[@gregkral4467]

Great little perch too, still great for a protien addition.

[@kristabrunner8350]

Watching all 30, I cant believe how good you are with the slingshot. It is amazing.... you also inspired my husband to make us slingshots. He made one that turned out beautiful. Would love to send u a picture of it someday. He got pretty good with his, but me not so much, lol

[@minutesagoedited9761]

I used to ice fish often. One awesome reuse of a fish part for bait is the eyeball. For whatever reason, one fish eye will stay on a hook through repeated fish being caught. These were all trout though. A toothier critter my limit the mileage on said eyeball.

[@pkxpanz3r241]

this brings me back to when i lived in the Adirondacks for 93 days, alot like how youre doing it, from March til June. sleeping under a blue tarp tied off in an A Frame, (we couldnt build shelters) and only using using a Flint and Steel File along with a Quartz spark rock i found, and char-cloth for fires, i later learned how to bow drill fires, and i had to bait and trap my food, got water from streams and rivers and cleaning with iodine tablets. god i miss it. (it was a wilderness expedition thingy for "troubled youths" lmao )

[@klawockkidd3426]

I've got several speed hooks in my tackle box I've never used. Thank you for the video!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Your welcome

[@IndieClubhouse]

God acknowledged you for saying grace. That's crazy, signs everywhere. Keep up the videos!

[@jasonlee7593]

you're a nutter mate, and that's what makes your videos so enjoyable. keep makin em like this ....

[@momodousarr2021]

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I already liked it 😁

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I just stumbled upon your channel and was literally eating a bowl of bass chowder while watching you eat that. Too funny.

[@georgelaparidis1990]

I Love this guy. Scene at 16:40 was so good. I love his attitude and spirit towards everything. Onya Fowler mate, keep it up. Big fan

[@kriswarren6202]

First ad I id not skip.Awesome

[@donrussell8889]

the 3" long tines of the fishing arrowheads would make great speed hooks. Even springy, fire-treated forks of saplings would probably suffice to hook fish a lot better than just a plain old hook.

[@longwaveforecasters]

love the longer videos, great work Fowler.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

bullwaves org cool thanks

[@SirBeauJangles]

First time I smoked a rainbow I forgot all about brining it. My, it was smokey... but it was also close to inedible. That was hot-smoking so it was cooked in the smoke. Never missed out the brine process again. If at the ocean rather than a loch you can use sea water for a simple brine base but it really needs a bit of salt added so the brine works its stuff. Mackerel smokes maybe better than nearly anything else.. Yum. Brining kills bacteria as well as augment the flavour of the smoke in the fish. Without salt in the process you only taste smoke in your fish was what I found. With your brine you can add other flavouring ingredients like molasses or elderberries or rose hips or a bit of cider vinegar, whatever you have access to. A bit of garlic salt added doesn't do any harm either.

[@michaelninja4683]

I feel like you should have a ladle, spatula(carved yourself of course), woodobo, and at least an extra pot/pan mix in your shelter... Another great video! Thank you so much!!

[@Alexander_Sannikov]

In Siberia ice on rivers is 1-1.5 meters. We used ice drills to get through. I'd certainly enjoy watching you dig through that with a shovel lol.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

LOL ya that be nuts

[@tracyjamestavares3255]

Thanx 4 Intro 2 Speedhook . I have the old YoYo type , but those look much lighter an easy to carry

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

They have so many cool, interesting gadgets and gizmos. Also not fair. I want to roll around in the ice as well lol. But really though, that scenery is just breathtaking. You’re so blessed and fortunate to have experienced such incredible places. I’m stuck in a city where if you don’t walk fast enough (and at times even if you do) people will trample you right over. It has to be so serene to just be out in the woods, the quiet of nighttime and the stars out with a roaring fire and just appreciating all Mother Nature has to offer. Stars are definitely hard to see here in n.y which is unfortunate. Anyway, another great video! :)

[@Saucy_Staff]

Fowler you got me into camping and you are so inspirational

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Travis staff Lit Awesome good to hear

[@mattiparviainen]

15:56 You might want to set that differently. Now the line is in straight contact to the VERY sharp ice. Not to mention the pain when opening the hole again off from ice. What we do in Finland is that we tie the line at the end of a longer stick that we put all the way down under the ice's bottom. Then secure the stick with horizontal stick like that. This way there is no way that the line will ever cut because of the ice OR when we open up the hole again after a cold night. Also what's pretty nice thing to do is to create a U-shaped piece of wood (or Y-branch) and then loop some extra line on it. This allows us to adjust the depth of the lure. Damn I wish I could draw a picture of the set up.

[@jackg.7745]

Nothing like a bowl of steamin’ hot fish head soup!!! Thanks for sharing Fowler.

[@meyo4158]

I read that you can put pine / spruce boughs in the ice hole to keep it from freezing solid so its easier to open back up

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

me Ya works good to a point and if you can cover it in snow to Further insulated ill state clear even longer

[@cirelefebure5485]

Great light effect at the end when you begin to pray bro. Thanks for the video

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

cire lefebure LOL that was just random i threw some more sticks on a few minoute erlier and they finaly filmed up

[@devoniagree5565]

You guys rock! Ice break dancing, hilarious.

[@milopage9148]

Awesome video. One of your best i think. Im from BC and just went ice fishing for my first time in Quebec. I was like 20 miles away from Maine

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Milo Page nice fun stuff

[@njidekasimeon5359]

Very funing song, and nice playing on the ice man, it was cool catching.

[@tomaslepp]

Lovely. Love the smoke tutorial. Excellent!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Tomas Lepp thanks for watching

[@beardwierd2783]

One of the best things I have watch for a long time man, I have subscribed

[@SourcePortEntertainment]

Hey Fowler, Awesome ice fishing! That is a beautiful trout. It is great to know that you pray over your meals. I believe we should never hide your light under a bushel brother, being a good example to people who look up to you. ;) - Danny

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Source Port Services yes sit thanks for watching

[@EvolvedApe]

I miss ice fishing up in Maine. I live on Guam now. I have not seen snow in many years.

[@thatrealba]

It's funny, the songs we come up with out in the sticks. My honeymoon was spent backpacking about 18 miles and climbing a 14k ft mountain. As we were taking a break to go to the bathroom, the glow of sunrise was juuuust growing on the horizon... Our song: Yellow snow, yellow snow, while I watch the alpinglow. Pack comes off, pants come down, marmots chirping all around. I still lmbo over that song and it was written in June of 2014! 🤣

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

Love the speed hook idea. Oh in case you ever have to survive in the artic circle heard how the natives catch a polar bear. Cut a hole about 2 -3 feet across put out something shiny over the top of the hole, to attract the bear then hide in a snow bank wait until the bear to come investigate... then you jump up real quick and kick him in the IceHole....

[@craftygun1039]

the knife u r using is absolutely a beast cold steel Ultimate Hunter

[@MindSetMattersTrustG]

Just finished binge watching Season 3 and you did great 👍 i was in tears 😭 when your wife came 😩🙂🙃

[@ClearAdventure]

Fowler, there is a way when cleaning a trout to take out ALL the bones in ONE second, leaving the body intact. I have never seen it on KZbin, when I make a video on it I will be sure to tell you right away. Nobody believes it til I show them in person, then their jaw drops to the floor, lol. Awesome video, love that speed-hook! God bless. -Kevin & Nugget

[@polishpicl]

Oh my gawd,,,it a like god heard you when you started Grace and lit up the flame high..Sooooo great..good video..I'm retired army but never saw that trap..I will start looking for it now...thanks for the vid!!!!!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

polishpicl this speed hook kit and set up is relatively new from what i was told

[@waynegraham143]

I’m watching every episode 👍 lol 😝

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

LOL

[@davestelling]

Thanks, Bro...another great episode. Man, I sure miss being out on the Maine ice this time of year!

[@mayadorsey9259]

Ice can be so much fun 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏽❤️

[@mitch60mccoy]

Excellent video and information. Thank you for sharing.

[@murderinc.hunting7686]

There you go!!! 👊 Trout looked delicious.

[@LachlanThistlethwaite]

hey if you're going for brook trout, fish where you put your minnow trap the first time

[@jcspaziano]

Me and TJ Daigle and Jason Moody used to catch some doozies from there! There's an inlet on the other side behind you that's pure gold!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

jorma Spaziano with inlet the one by the road or by the landing ?

[@kurtjensen7264]

So… if I’ve got this right- you don’t have to be crazy to be a survival list -but it sure helps 😂😂😂

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Exactly! haha thank you for watching Kurt Jensen

[@roddinandracin1153]

Been looking for this video, or started to, binge watch the series, got some speedhooks coming to the house so wanted to see how to use them

[@brucemcewen4547]

I'm trying the speed hook set up next time on the ice. Thanks for sharing

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Hunting and Fishing Empty Nesters thanks for watching

[@P5ykoOHD]

You'd need a hole in the ground going into (under) the fire from outside your shelter, that would help redirect the smoke and evacuate it faster. Increasing the heat output of a fire also reduces the amount of smoke it produces ... just need to have some form of good aeration to remove the carbon dioxide buildup. Especially considering the greenhouse effect you have going with that transparent tarp. If you could, I would have put a heavier (non transparent) tarp over the one you already have, and create air evacuating channels and windows in the one above, basically layering the "roof".

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

P5ykoOHD ya thats what i did to my shelter out there in Patagonia just havent got to it yet in the new shelter yet

[@gregkral4467]

works good, really soft ice though, what was the temperature I wonder? Recently went out with kids, three feet of ice, was minus 23C, warmed up nice when wind stopped, was a windy day, but man the ice was deep, was thinking that cold steel shovel would not do as well as the chisel type.... would be worth seeing a comparison in deeper cold and thicker ice.... thanks for sharing though.

[@mrsteelnutz]

Lmfao the cold steel shovel is ridiculously awesome i never thought i would love it so much

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

ya man !! Thanks for watching

[@mrsteelnutz]

@@FowlersMakeryandMischief haha I've been binge watching all your videos for a week now i just love em... Keep it up, thanks 👍

[@jacobrawles8687]

Great videos. Thank you for praying and thanking the Lord for what he has provided.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Some of my Favorite Types of Videos!!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

DropForgedSurvival thanks was fun to make

[@westfromthewest]

Glad you blessed it, thanks for being a good example!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Mr. West thanks for WATCHING

[@whilburn2]

I use them fishing for bream and the only issue i have is that smaller fish, aka bait stealers or turtles( that dont really bite), really set them off. where as if you can target a specific type of fish, then it might be a little more reliable..

[@ranchurdhimster4955]

16:44 Pure gold👌

[@gregkral4467]

That is a nice trout, time to eat!

[@gregkral4467]

Great fun, this vid, thank you for making it folks. I subscribed.

[@joem973]

These videos are so interesting and intriguing I wish I was that interesting

[@livebait9666]

joe m I’m sure you’re man, you just guttah find it

[@fixthis7283]

Best part of the vid was the free skatting.lol.so much fun.give it a 9.9 only cause I wasn't invited.

[@bricemjohnson99]

I wish I knew everything that you do. I made a camp like your kinda on my property I can’t wait tell I am really finished with it. thanks for the videos learning a lot from your videos

[@ambermommasr1370]

Shows how when you eat something you don’t like you will get to like it especially what it does for your body.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Icey Score! She's a Beaut Clark! (I mean Zach) Yeah! Fish head soup for Fowler! Speedhooks work! The shelter looks awesome Buddy! Keep it Burning!

[@susiecates2804]

Congratulations too you for winning Alone

[@janeanzaldo5359]

Amazing"&"Great"Excellent Job Brother

[@kennnuthatch5724]

I'm sure the reason for the small hooks is so fish will swallow them and won't come off...although speed hook spring might make that difficult. That's why I use them anyway.

[@himekokatagiri949]

At 16:48 I lost it could not stop laughing at Chris falling in the background hahahaha Fowler’s doing what his magic and Chris in the back enjoying himself some ice fishing and then wam! Love this

[@MAJJJJJJ]

This was an old video you were so thin then . but this was still a good one . thanks for showing that fish trap.

[@Saguanay]

How's that jacket working in the different temps you are exposing it to? It seems to be a repeat so I guess it works good?

[@felixcat9318]

The Military Speedhooks make an excellent addition to any kits, the ability to set multiple Speedhooks without having to sit and watch them is advantageous. If they catch fish, great, if not, you haven't invested many calories or much time is setting them.

[@tcarp1616]

Just got turned onto your channel man. Love what I’m seeing. God Bless.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Dude u can totally make a smoke rack that sits off the wall of your shelter 👍👍👍👍👍

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

bantoldude ya man !!

[@benives254]

When you got so excited about the fish on, it thought it was a sleeper shark! That whole shelter is a smoke house!

[@kamurray67]

Don't watch TV so I have never heard of you. I read and found your article in BWM this issue. I do watch KZbin and found your channel after reading the article. Much respect and great videos!

[@jacobduncan8875]

Try cooking trout in butter and a bit of salt and black pepper with an Avocado. Oh my. When I first tried it I don't think my brain knew what hit it. Nor my taste buds for that matter.
