[@liamjursa3759]

you should do some more hunting videos

[@liamjursa3759]

or some challenge like the 5 item one

[@kelliebaker1915]

Oh wow, really looking forward to the ice fishing/camping video. The snow camping videos are my favorite! "D

[@jebstuart3]

Have you seen the WENDIGO yet?? 🤣

[@jjjvclub]

Your shelter building skills are awesome. Great video, thanks!

[@dubemccready7438]

love this style of shelter probably more comfortable than most - I would think,

[@derbybushcraftandoutdoors3176]

Definitely one of the nicest winter camps I’ve seen in a long time.

[@wituikbws]

Glad you liked it!

[@tobiasball5225]

Well done.

[@남주작-t5u]

[@sonofabear]

This is making me excited for winter again! The island video sounds incredible. I can't wait!

[@wituikbws]

It just snowed again last night, so I’m sure as hell not 🤣😭 I’m not sure when the ice fishing video will be out since I’m going to focus on filming and take a break from editing 👍

[@dmtnw4480]

Thank you for showing views and sharing your shelter and camp with us

[@cowbway8462]

Jesus H I don’t understand how your are not THE most popular outdoor KZbinr. You look like a model. 10x Xander Budnick. Your videos are quality. That’s all I have to say.

[@charlesknight3204]

Nicholas … I thoroughly enjoyed the video!!! Excellent wintertime bushcraft in a video without all the fluff and distractions!!! I loved the cowboy coffee segment was best of all!!! Great video and wonderful way to start the morning!!! Take care, be safe and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas, USA. 🤠👨‍🌾✝️🙏🐩

My friend Mark from Eat Carbs Outside sent me over! Very interesting video. I will have to watch a few to catch up.

[@wituikbws]

Welcome to the channel! Very glad to have you onboard

[@tracykooken2606]

Tast like chicken 🐔 😋 🤣 lol !!! With that much work i could eat a whole moose.... well, sorta !!!! :) Nice little hangout boss !! That grass sure nuff comes in handy 😉

[@NatureBound]

That steak looked delish. Thanks for bringing us with you. :)

[@mikek.3965]

That's one classy, comfy shelter. Great work!

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply

[@Thuyanhmin]

Núi tuyết đẹp quá mình thích trải nghiệm của bạn lắm mình chúc bạn nhiều sức khỏe và niềm vui trong hành trình này nhé

[@ТУРИСТ-АВАНТЮРИСТ]

It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. ✌️

Oi boa noite amigo, eu já estou deixando o meu Joinha 77 para o seu lindo canal. 👍✌😄 Um abraço e que Deus te abençoe. 🙌✌

[@WalkWild]

Never had Moose steak. Looked awesome. Cool shelter idea in the snow too! Good job man!

[@wituikbws]

Thanks!

[@journeyman7189]

Excellent video Nicholas. Solid shelter and dinner was definitely on point. Nate

[@wituikbws]

Thanks!

[@OrderOfWoods]

Loved it. What a great shelter with snow and a tarp. I want that my country had so much snow.... 🤠✌️ I celebrated my birthday on March 11, you woke up in a great way on March 11 lol. Anyway love your adventures. Looking forward for more. 🤠👍

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Great camp 🏕 Nicholas. Kinda looks like a lot of work for one night unless you went back. The video quality was outstanding. Keep up the great content. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@Codegard12]

glad to see you brought a firearm, most videos people do solo camping and don't pack one. Better safe than sorry.

[@michaelstevenson9235]

Do dooooooodoo doooo

[@DzidekTahoe]

👍 Hello. Great movie as usual, interesting. There was no doggie, you had to take care of your .44. How many degrees were it during the night? Kind regards. 🔥

[@hasnainqureshi3773]

Man you are living the life We don't such privileges in India unfortunately Keep uploading more vidoes

[@wituikbws]

Will do!

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

Sooo....yeah going to make more awsome videos friend?

[@wituikbws]

That's the plan! I'm currently working on a back-log of videos to start posting early September. It's nice to be ahead with content, that way I can be more consistent with the posting. The aim is a video every other week, but hopefully more 👍

[@marktriplett4687]

I really enjoy watching your videos and I appreciate your love of nature and I have a question about your knife because it's very nice and I wanted to know what you could tell me about it and if I could find one somewhere to purchase

[@wituikbws]

The knife is designed by me and built by Mike Jones Knife & Tool out of Quesnel, BC. He makes similar versions of it occasionally

[@chipchaffee2416]

Can you tell me what knife you carry in this video .

[@albertvieiraa]

é um ótimo vídeo, realmente não entendo pq tão poucas visualizações.

[@wituikbws]

Obrigada! Eu só não tenho postado o suficiente para meus vídeos ganharem visualizações, mas isso vai mudar!

[@stevefisher2121]

Just checking in - no content in awhile - hope all is well.

[@wituikbws]

Hey! I've got some new stuff coming out very soon starting with a new channel trailer, and after that I'm starting the video creation full-time. I'll be aiming for a new video every other week, but that schedule may change depending on my editing time. Sorry for the wait! I appreciate you checking in! 🤠

[@javiergimenez9621]

Great video man, will you be making a permanent shelter some day??

[@wituikbws]

Hey, thank you and sorry for the late reply! Yes, I am continuing work on my permanent camp I have been building since last year. Took a long break from it haha

[@davidengelmann1636]

Were the trees dead?

[@wituikbws]

Yes

[@hshi4944]

What backpack do you use? I'm thinking of doing stuff like this myself and it looks very nice

[@wituikbws]

I believe it is an old Camp Trails pack. Can't go wrong with an external frame though

[@ClintZold]

Nice country there pal. I'm sweating buckets down in Southern Ontario right now, already missing the snow haha Question for ya - where do you get your lampwick for the snowshoes? Getting hard to find and I've had to switch to leather bindings.

[@wituikbws]

Man, it's HOT up here now too! You must've brought the heat out west with you! 😆 I found a roll of this lamp wick in a local store, been sitting there for 20+ years so I bought it all. If you search around on Ebay, you can find some for pretty cheap though. Sorry for the late reply!

[@aaronwilcox6417]

I like that tarp very much. What I don't like is cooking eat over pine and fir softwood. Cottonwood, alder, and aspen are nice for cooking in the rockies but those pine creosote doesn't do it for me.

[@wituikbws]

I don't really notice the difference cooking over different woods, unless I am smoking something of course

[@BishopAhnya]

hey i like the videos better with the cowboy hat!!! J/K this video is great......but put the cowboy hat back on tex!

[@wituikbws]

Will do!

[@kelliebaker1915]

Just wondering if you are planning on finishing your new bushcraft shelter Camp Deadhorse?

[@wituikbws]

Possibly! As I've been focusing on other things, I've found much better and more remote areas to build in like the area in this video for example; areas with grass for horse feed, creeks and rivers for water, more materials to build with, better to hunt, etc. The area I chose to build in for Camp Deadhorse was in a lot of ways terrible. It has no feed for horses, no creeks or rivers for water, not very remote, and has no where to hunt aside from grouse if I'm lucky. If I end up scrapping the project, I can assure you that what I do next will be a LOT better and more practical for backcountry life. Sorry for the late reply!

[@kelliebaker1915]

@@wituikbws Looking forward to whatever your next project is! No worries about the late reply . . . you do have a life lol! "D

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

Who is the knife make on your hip love it

[@wituikbws]

It's a custom knife I designed and had made by Mike Jones Knife & Tool out of Quesnel. BC 👍

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

@@wituikbws have something similar with a David bowie design as I was younger then! Fordged from steel taken from the twin towers when they fell. They are a matching handmade pair. The handles made of ivory from walrus tusk sold to me by natives inlaid with gold full tang much like yours. I have handles made from the same for my colt revolver I carry. The metal was sent to Japan to a sword Smith who made it into demasisk specially hand made.

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

@@wituikbws because of thier beauty I want to build another work made for back country living and as a working blade.

[@wituikbws]

That's quite an amazing backstory to the blades, lots of thought put into them too. I'd love to see them if you have a photo, could send it to my email [e-mail] 🤠

[@ernestrautenberg3041]

Did you leave your tarp there?

[@wituikbws]

For awhile. I used the camp once or twice after, and had planned to film one more video out of it, but the snow melted so quick I didn't get the chance

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

Hey are you a fan of tin pants? What kind do you prefer when you go out to the wilderness

[@wituikbws]

I am! I make my own following @thelonewoodman's recipe. The pair in this video are old duck canvas Carhartt pants I double tinned (inside and out). If you make your own, make sure the pants are 100% canvas, not that stretch canvas stuff. I tried it on a pair that had 1% stretch, and it doesn't work. The stretch makes the wax flake and wear off almost immediately. Thanks for the comment!

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

@@wituikbws thank you Mr! I am heading for Alaska heading for a ruff part of the country. I notice you usually carry a lever action and a single shot shotgun do you carry revolver or another type of handgun and what caliber is your lever actio? I carry a 45/70. Should do a night time with the stars out alot of folks forget the quiet out there under the stars! Thank you for these videos. What made me realize the missing in my heart is from. Lived in the wilderness for many years of my life. I left due to loneliness. So I found a woman married kids the whole 9 yards. I stayed in the city as long as I can. Now I'm going home back to the mountains where I belong

[@wituikbws]

The rifle I carry is in .45-70 as well, just a normal Marlin 1895 that is half falling apart (hence the tape), and the shotguns I carry are a .410 gauge and a .12 gauge, both generic single shots. I'd love to carry a revolver, specifically either a Colt SAA or a Smith and Wesson Model 3, but since the gun laws in this country are terrible, the most I can carry is either a rifle or a shotgun. I am able to carry and use antique firearms built before 1898 in specific calibres, like a Colt SAA in .41 Colt for example, and they aren't even considered firearms in Canada so they can be bought and used even without a license, but the price of them is crazy; sometimes upwards of 7k for a functioning/safe revolver. Would be underpowered sure, but I still figure it's better than nothing since I hate bear spray and am almost always without my rifle while filming moving my camera around, but it'll be awhile before I can justify buying one 😆 I'm glad to hear you enjoy these videos and that you're getting back into it. Let me know how it goes up north when ya get there! Good luck!!

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

@@wituikbws hey I have a colt in that caliber! Question can it be a reproduction of he exact model of a 1898 pistol? I feel a man should never be told what he can own or what property he can carry on his person! What a tragedy. As American I'm not familiar with Canadian gun laws

[@Jeff-hp3vn]

@@wituikbws question does the replicas of the 1898 model pistols are exceptable?

[@bostin-07]

what are the carhartt pants you wear in almost every video?

[@wituikbws]

These are old duck canvas pants that I tin-clothed myself. In my other videos, I just wear the good old relaxed fit carpenter pants. I prefer canvas over everything

[@jameswatson7136]

Those RR lanterns belonged to your Grandpa?

[@wituikbws]

One of them did!

[@cowbway8462]

Not sure why you don’t talk. Unless your voice sounds like Levditti. Then I understand.

[@wituikbws]

Never had the need to. The videos kind of explain themselves as you watch, and whatever extra context is needed, I add text. Maybe one day though!
