DEER CAMP - It's deer season again!

[@ericsimon5942]

Thanks for all of your wonderful videos I have watched almost all now. Just purchased a camp in U.P. in Faithorn. Love your set up and your giving me lots of ideas.Thank you

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Awesome! Thank you! You guys got some good deer hunting and fishing down there. Stay in touch with your U.P. adventures.

[@richardbowles14]

Holy cow the guitar!! I couldn’t take it any more and had to stop watching!!!!!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Richard, sorry to hear that. I'll try to mix it up more in the future. Thanks for the comment, KPO.

[@mms8393]

Yeah, the video was really good. Doesn't need any music whatsoever. My thoughts... @@KnettersPracticalOutdoors

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for watching guys, KPO.

[@michaelhaulotte689]

Richard Bowles , that’s why I stopped watching . But like the camp.

[@billwhite7099]

To me deer camp is and always will be, what hunting is all about. You just can't beat it.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Bill, it's a great time no doubt. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@ForgetU]

Very nice video... I'm glad to see you wrap it up with the guitar guy, especially after reading the comments. Have a safe season.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

MJ, yes a lot of drama with the guitar stuff. It's hard to please all the people all the time. But I listen to all the comments and always try to improve. Thanks for all the support, KPO.

[@waltermerchant8149]

Stuff dreams are made of! Great cabin! You can totally hear the Upper accent.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Walter, we like to keep it real here at Knetter's Practical Outdoors. Thanks for the comment, KPO.

Nice to be able to watch videos of U.P. Deer camps. Born and Raised in Ishpeming, moved to ND 8 years ago and haven’t been back for deer camp since then.....sure do miss going to my family deer camp. The hardest part of moving away is missing out on the deer season back home with friends and family. Honestly the hunting is 10 times better out west, but it’s not the same. I did however introduce a bunch of folks In ND and WY to Cudighi. Make a few hundred pounds every year here. Thanks for the video.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It's funny the people that have never heard of cudighi and pastes right? Hey, thanks for watching Craig, KPO.

[@kevinichter7362]

OMG OMG OMG I will be humming "My Best Friends Girl" by The Cars for a month!!! I know y'all did that on purpose! :) Jeeeeezzzzzz Louissssseeee!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Kevin, sorry if I over did it with "Best friends girl". It's one of my favorite songs but I understand not everyone has the same passion for the song. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@todds2221]

Just a FYI......I am a long time Scientologist and eating placenta is definitely not a Scientology thing!:) I have a deer camp in Northern lower Michigan. Enjoy seeing others carrying on the tradition. Thanks for the video.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for the clarification and thanks for watching, KPO.

[@robertredinger9991]

Nice video. Been hunting the UP for 40 years. Very similar to what you do at your camp. Love it up there as I am a troll. Always up and down years in the UP. Am interested in that sauna. Would be a nice addition to ours! Thanks.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks Robert. I do have another vid that talks about the sauna more. Here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSQgoSbZ8-GnKM We light it every night during deer season. KPO.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Enjoyed your video from deer camp!! There isn't anything like deer camp. Now our camp here in WV is on a lease in a camp ground near the National Forest that we hunt every November. We do have electric, but our camp consists of a 1969 Dodge school bus converted to a camper, along with my camper and my brother in laws camper. We enjoy our time there so much cause where we are there is maybe only one radio station you can pick up and we don't have a TV. There isn't even a cell phone service so we are disconnected from the world for the entire week. It is so relaxing to be at camp. Thanks for sharing and I plan to go thru and watch more of you videos. I have sub'd to your channel. Again great video!! Juddie - J & J TOA

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

That sounds like a real cool set up. I love seeing and hearing about other deer camps. Whether it's a full blown house in the woods or a tent, they are all deer camp. Thanks for the sub, KPO.

[@jamescarne2599]

Nice video. I live in Alaska now but grew up in the northern UP. Would love to live there again someday.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for watching James, KPO.

[@jamescarne2599]

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors Watching your video really made me miss home. Been gone for a lot of years now. I grew up hunting western Houghton and Ontonagon counties. Shot some nice bucks and a ton of grouse back in the day. Perhaps I'll make it back there to hunt before I get too old to enjoy it. Until then, God bless and keep posting your videos. They bring back a lot of great memories for me.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Whether you get back someday or just keep the memories it's all good. I'm sure you have some awesome country up in Alaska too. God willing I'll keep making videos, thanks for watching, KPO.

[@outdoorsforever1027]

Great vid...... tell the guitar virtuoso as my Pop used to say “you keep picking’ that thing it’ll never heal....” wish he wudda kept the background tune to something other than those those 3 chords....

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Bill, that's all on me and how I arranged it. The guitar man is innocent and just victimized by me. I'll try to mix it up more in the future. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@shawnrogan1677]

This is what deer camp is all about. At my camp, I kinda refer to it as my rookie weekend because there are a few guys that only hunt one weekend a year. Getting a deer is the hope but it certainly does not define the success of the weekend. Good food, good friends, great memories! Can you talk more about how your hot water system works? Looks interesting. Is there some type of circulator pump?

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Shawn, thanks for the comment and question. Maybe I should do a vid sometime about the sauna. No pump needed. There is just a "U" shaped pipe inside the fire box. This pipe is coupled to the holding tank by way of rubber radiator hose. The water circulates by the hotter water rising in the "U". This causes cooler water to be drawn in from the tank by way of the lower hose/pipe. This actually circulates the water pretty well. And I agree life is too short to be disappointed about not getting a deer. Deer camp is a fun time either way. Thanks again, KPO.

[@1copperking]

God I love your hunting vid's but hate them to! Lol. We miss hunting up there at our camp so much. My wife and I shot 39 bucks in 11 years up there. Both of us filling are combo's most years until I had heart problems and we had to sell our camp in Trout Creek and land in Baraga. Thanks for you bringing back memories though! Let is know if you get anything in black powder.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Roger, sorry to hear you no longer can get out hunting in the UP. It's a reminder for all of us that nothing stays the same. Just with life in general, we need to enjoy the good times as much as possible. It sounds like you and your wife had an awesome 11 years up here. You DO get to keep that experience forever. Thanks for the support, KPO.

[@jamesswick7534]

Ease up on the guitarist. It's obvious he is new and is practicing. Deer camp is a perfect place to do thag

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

James, thanks for checking everyone. But the guitar stuff is my fault. He just played a little riff and I looped it over and over. The guitarist is actually pretty accomplished in several instruments. If you watch any of my other vids he does all the music for them. Including the intro song in this one. My bad editing threw him under the bus. Thanks for the support, KPO

[@paultanner2007]

Great videos and awesome channel! I’m a new subscriber.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Welcome aboard!

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Oh, forgot to say thanks for sharing the information about your brother in law and those pins. I just sent him a message on Etsy to see if he still does the style or something similar to the one you have on the wall that says CAMP 1993 (I think that is the year I saw on it). Again great video!! Juddie - J & J TOA

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Let my brother in law know you got there from this video. He'd enjoy that. Also you got a sub back from me. Thanks again, KPO.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors that was the first thing I did was tell him I was watching your video and saw the pin collection on the board in the deer camp. I have already gotten a reply back from him. Just got to work out some details. Again great videos here and thanks for sub'ing to my channel. I have a little bit of everything on there but it is mainly about our hunting here in WV. Good luck this upcoming season. Juddie - J & J TOA

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Awesome and thanks, KPO.

[@jrdixon51]

somebody please show guitarzan a new chord------please

[@montecasler215]

was hoping that the guitar would be target practice by the end of the video

[@kevinichter7362]

I didn't even like that song in 1984!!! Great video though, are y'all excepting new members???

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Thanks for pushing through. No new members anytime soon. We have a 10 year waiting list and a strict "must like all CARS songs" policy, LOL, KPO

[@seepingspringsfarm6017]

made stew with heart and t-loin this year, was great.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Sure does sound good. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@tat2bruce]

how big is your camp, I am going to be building my camp this spring and it looks the perfect size.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Well, that's a good question. The original camp that was there when we started was 9' X 10'. It was just a glorified deer blind. We actually hunted one season out of it. The next summer we added another 12' on it so it became 9' X 22". Then after that we added a 16' X 20' section.The main camp that you see in most of the video is the 16' X 20'. If you check out my vid "DEER CAMP - closing up the camp for the season" you can see more of it. Our bunk room is the original camp, kitchen is the first addition, main room is the last addition. I need to do a video on this history some time too. If I started from scratch I would never have a 9' wide section of course. I think if I started from scratch it would be 16 X 24 or 20 X 24. But it just made sense to utilize what we had already. Thanks for the question. I love deer camp talk. Stay in touch and let me know how it goes this spring, KPO.

[@BiscayneAutosalesLLC]

Hi there do you know what pitch roof u went with?

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Jim it's a 4/12 pitch, KPO.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Well at least the newest addition is a 4/12. The older part of the camp is much steeper. KPO

[@adventurerhoades]

Nice camp The guitar did not bother me at all. Your buddy was relaxed just having fun

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

I listen to all comments, but it's hard to please everybody. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@kevinthorrington2131]

I was born and raised in the UP, you talk just like a yooper. Lol!!!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Kevin, you know it! Central U.P. my fellow Yooper! Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@michaelgrimes5588]

Awesome camp!

[@michaelgrimes5588]

Ps...guitar is just fine!

[@Nzbro]

Very cool thank you.

[@njgrplr2007]

The incessant guitar strumming was just too much to take.

The holiday of uppers

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Yes it is! Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@baby2002]

I wish you have your videos longer for deer season like movie thank you.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Maybe I'll try that, KPO.

[@jackc.3079]

What county do you guys hunt in?

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Central UP, thanks for watching, KPO.

[@bcdwalleye6242]

Another deer season come and gone. The 17th for the 3 point! Good times.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

[@stevenstricker4604]

Ohhhh yeah

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Steven, that's what i'm talkin bout, thanks for watching, KPO.

[@douguhlmann5761]

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Doug, maybe I'll try that sometime. Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@richardcleasby105]

Was a dairy farmer till l was 66 never new that placenta was good to eat boy did I miss out

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Richard, I don't think you missed out on anything! LOL Thanks again for the support, KPO.

[@trwhitford65]

A fun time.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

You bet, thanks for the comment, KPO.

[@wirancher1825]

I’m missing deer season

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Me Too, KPO.

[@BigRed-ob7do]

The music is annoying

[@bugtussle7475]

The Guitar. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! Had to turn it off.

[@scottgoodrich5825]

A three chord maestro.

[@bobbygreen2291]

I love watching y’all up north but if I ever go up there , I will bring e my own food , I’m a yellow eyed peas turnip greens , and cornbread kind of southern boy ,, sorry no spinach or cottage cheese for me , and when you add the ketchup, that’s a total deal breaker , ha ha ha ha

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Bobby, food or no food you would love it up here! Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@jodibensyl1051]

Yaaaaa Der Hey !!!!!!!

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Jodi you have the accent down perfect! Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@dominicalphamale6293]

You would probably see more deer if your deer blind window wasn’t so tiny

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

It's a trade off. Smaller windows make it real dark in the blind. This allows the hunter to get away with movement in the blind. Also the woods we hunt in is very thick and really the only distances we can see are down lanes that we cut. Of course we cut the lanes so they can be scene through our windows. But I agree with you, if we hunted more open terrain I would have more windows all around. Thanks for adding in, KPO.

[@kodiakfarmsbrianhoadley8152]

Stop the guitar please!!!

[@tommiller2003]

Please, no more guitar - now or in the future! Could not watch due to very bad music!

[@onis1969]

stop playing the guitar on the same note and put it down to hunt

[@onis1969]

leave the guitar player behind next time

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

onis, we live in a society! Thanks for the input, KPO.

[@outdoorsforever1027]

🍺

[@charlieporch3181]

Music is bad!!!!

[@ruger3089]

Great video The guitar player needs to find a new song

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Ruger, don't blame him. It's may fault in the editing. Believe me this dude is a talented musician. He does all the music in my vids and plays and arranges all the instruments. I'll do him and you better in the future, thanks, KPO.

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Music very annoying think I’ll pass on further vids

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Bob, sorry to hear you won't be watching Knetters Practical Outdoors. I do consider all the comments I get in shaping future vids. But I know there is a lot of good content to be watched and only so much time to do so. You are always welcome back anytime and have a merry Christmas! KPO

[@btwarner2124]

Nice video. Buy a new grill.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Brant, if the thing would just totally die we would! Thanks for watching, KPO.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

You don't take a nice grill to camp. You buy a new one for home and the old one goes to camp.

[@KScherb1]

That guitar is very annoying
