*Thanks for stopping by again folks! I really appreciate it. I gave a longer video a go this time for a laugh. Hope you enjoy it. Share some ice fishing stories below if you'd like, I'd sure love to hear them! Until next time, cheers!* *JB*

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks man I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks man. Pouch Cove Elementary? I remember you brother. It's been awhile!

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks man I really appreciate that. I respect everyone doing this but also think people from abroad should see our landscape more. It's definitely different than the rest and needs to be exposed for tripping because of that. Such a unique challenge. The AWR is a very cool remote wilderness experience so close to SJ. And hardly anybody goes into the heart of it. If you're ever looking to go on a haul drop me a line and maybe we could connect. Cheers buddy, great talking!

Justin, Well done again, I was raised in Newfoundland. Now living in Alaska. Your adventures are the best. Cheers my friend to you and Saku!!

[@shawnyouden3043]

Hey Justin, you can go to Canadian tire and buy fire logs, they burn for about 8 too 10 hours, they only cost about 8 dollars. They give off good heat. There great for winter camping.

Your dog is worth a thumbs up alone! Such a good dog.

Please tell Saku I apologize for saying his name with a Japanese flair. I now call him Sacku. It sounds like the way you pronounce it. Always a great treat....your vids and the sausage sliver he got. I am amazed at how he just sits there while you are placing the goods right on your lap. Good DOG! I haven't gotten to the fish part yet but looking at the comment below it sounds like Saku is ready.

Woooo buddy looked cold out there. Your a tough dude😃 I use to get out there when I lived in Michigan. But the warm weather in Arkansas has spoiled me.

[@ChadMorgan709]

Another awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along. Good food, good beers, good times. Some lovely pink mud trout too. Put a few bows over the holes to prevent them from freezing so fast.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks for watching Chad. Does that work even overnight? I seen it done when I was a young fella from my cousin in Bauline, he'd do it while we were in by the fire. But I had long forgotten it after spending a cpl decades of winters away from the woods and in the rinks. You just sparked my memory to do that next time. Appreciate the advice man.

[@ChadMorgan709]

Justin Barbour it will work overnight. It's still going to catch over with ice but it won't freeze nearly as much.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Wicked Chad, hope all is well buddy. Thanks again

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great video Justin, looked like a really fun time. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Haven't been winter camping in many years. Can't wait to try it again. First I have to get a tipi and woodstove. I've only camped in a 4 season tent before. The hot tent looks so cozy and comfortable.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

It's a time Jeff, real simple and invigorating. thanks for watching!

[@blackriverrambler3963]

All kinds of outdoor goodness and some dandy feeds! Living the good life brother. Great watching as always. See ya ✌️❄️🔥🍻

[@jimf1964]

Holy bejesus would you look at the colour of those trout!!! Used to catch a lot up north in Quebec, but a very different colour. We fried some in the morning, gutted and beheaded, and thrown in the pan so fast they were still moving! I never ice fished for them though. Pike and perch mostly. Awesome video. Nice to see you take your time and enjoy, and let us relax a bit with you.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks Jim I appreciate it. They were certainly great looking trout and even tastier to eat. I have never fished for Pike or Perch but would love too someday. Glad you enjoyed the video, cheers!

[@sweettony9359]

Living in Maine, USA I have seen a lot of brook trout throughout the years but I have never seen trout with dark speckles all over the underside like that. Very interesting. Learn something new every day, I guess. Done tons of ice fishing myself. I love the low tech method you use. Good on you, brother.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

Thanks Tony. Those spots are black spot parasites. Only affects the look of the skin. The trouts health itself or any human/predator that eats them are unaffected. All the best

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I have a heinz 57. Great dog though. I had quite a few adventures in the Great outdoors. My first year of teaching in 1980 for sure was filled with experiences in the Great Outdoors. I'd like to share a few of them with you if you would like.

[@JustinBarbournlexplorer]

@@reginaldwinsor2759 Love to hear them

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

@@JustinBarbournlexplorer I could easily write a book about my many adventures but I can anecdotally describe my experience teaching in Shamattawa, Manitoba. I was hired to acculturate and was not to start teaching until my school house was built which was not even started and was ready for occupancy. I taught grade 9 and that was the highest grade at that time. In the meantime I landed on the tarmak along with my colleagues to be greeted by a group of hung over locals pillaging some stuff that the Hudson Bay left in the wee hours of the night. I asked the pilot to hold on as I was experiencing a bit of culture shock and at that point was ready to get on board but one of the newly hired teachers, Bruce Moore, who of Bahai faith and his wife convinced me to give it a shot. The next day, while walking about I saw an elderly Cree carrying firewood up from the river which he rafted down the river. It was a 20 foot embankment up a narrow path to get the charcoal covered turnpikes up to the top and without giving it a second thought I offered my assistance. He didn't say anything but I took that as a yes and I spent the remainder of the day lugging several cords of wood up to where he could cart them to his home. As the day progressed some elders stopped and chatted among themselves which I ignored. At the end of the chore, Alex, the indian who owned the wood, invited me to come with him on his trapline. I eagerly said yes and we were off up the river the very next morning. His canoe, an 18 ft. Norway House cargo was powered by a 9 hp. and was not very fast but I wasn't interested in speed. As soon as we left to up the Echoing River, I was captivated by the beauty of the place. Huge sitca spruce towered over the river and with every turn there was something new. I lit my pipe and anticipating that Alex would want some so I gave him a pipe and a pouch of tobacco. Well you wouldn't know that he had a million dollars. I will skip a lot and get to the good stuff but on our first night camping he choose a high embankment on the fork of the Echoing and Sturgeon Rivers. We got a nice fire going and made a soft bow bed then we bunked her down for the night. I noticed that Alex had his rifle next to him and upon asking about this he replied that you never know what might pay a visit during the night. About 2 o'clock a pack of wolves started howling about a half mile across the river. Alex was awake and told me what each member of the pack was up to by the howl or yelp. The alpha wolf had a deep howl while the subordinates were yelping and were shallow. Then they were getting closer until they were not far from us. Suddenly there was a rush of water and a commotion and Alex said that they were after a moose and forced the animal across the river. The wolves were going up and down along the river bank and didn't cross right away. Alex said that they were in no hurry and were looking for a good place to cross. The wolves finally did cross just upstream from our location at which time they got our scent and we didn't hear from them after. The next morning though when we broke camp, we saw a large cream colored wolf sitting on the river bank upstream from our locatioin and Alex quickly dispatched the wolf. We stopped for a mug up while Alex skinned the wolf. He said it was most likely the Alpha judging from its size which to me was huge. Anyway that was just the beginning of a two week experience loaded with adventure. I can go on but I digress at this point. I really should write a book about this. We got in a real pickle which was potentially a life threatening situation where according to Alex, I saved him from an uncertain fate.

Justin Barbour honestly, been the worst winter maybe ever, thanks to some health and personal problems. Next winter'll be a lot better.

Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

Thanks for tuning in and the kind words! Skin on when I cook them. If you don't like to eat it when you pan fry them it comes of pretty easily. I skin them from vent (bum) to gills. Nothing to it.
