I've watched a lot of these "winter camping" KZbin videos this past winter. One reason is I've been busy healing a knee. And I have to say this was one of if not the most authentic and enjoyable. A lot of the stuff I've seen in amateurish. Stuff I did as a kid before I even got into high school. Still fun to watch but this was a step beyond most. Somehow you've managed to learn enough to make me think you could actually get into an unfavorable situation and still survive. The tarp for instance provides something most people would want a layer of closed cell foam to do. You and your dad are a step ahead of most without even knowing it. I have a sleeping bag almost identical to the one you used. It works OK but I mostly use it for when I'm sleeping in a shelter that has a wood stove. When I want to sleep on the ground in below freezing temps I use an old synthetic filled bag called a Slumberjack. Rated to minus 30. It works well enough so that I can sleep comfortably all night yet when I wake up in the morning the bag is covered with frost. But then again nothing wrong with getting up a couple times a night. Enjoy. Stay safe. And good fishing.

You have come a long ways in just the last year! watching you takes me back in time to when I WAS young man like you.keep the respect for the way of life.

[@ogbobbye]

I hope you know what a great thing you do in making these videos and posting them for us to watch. when I was young like you I love to go out and spend time in the woods, but now I'm old and broken down by time and years and can't cut the bait any longer. Now I watch good men like you and remember, Thank you for taking the time and effort to help me relive younger and better times.

[@Bushway]

Glad you enjoy em!

[@paulielentz4337]

I bet you can still do some lite camping. 👍

[@dpreiner21]

Nice video man. Here's a tip i learned from winter camping here in Minnesota. Right before bed, fill your water bottle with boiling water and put it in your sleeping bag... down by your feet or in between your legs. It will keep you nice and warm for a few hours and your water wont be frozen in the morning. And if you wake up again during the night because your cold, repeat. DJ

[@christhornley1664]

Great vid, I loved your camp set up. Nothing like the Canadian wilderness for getting away from it all, magic!

[@codexfortyseven3967]

awesome! always loving hearing the outdoors, and subbed, keep making these, love watching these when there is no music so thank you!

[@jackg.7745]

Everyone deserves a little snack every now and again. I had mine watching your video. Very smart use of your sled as a shelter. It made for a very nice camp. Cool vid man.

[@Bushway]

Thanks, Jack!

[@kattewhetu2613]

:) this was awesome.....nice use of the toboggan.....thanks for doing an overnighter, was well worth waiting for :)

[@aksalaman4689]

Looked like a nice trip. Nothing like meat cooked over a wood fire! Maybe next time try turning the spruce boughs over the other way, the ends will be pointing down into the ground, this will give a little more "loft" to the branches and keep the ends from possibly poking holes into your bag. Good job!

[@Bushway]

Thanks for the tip!

[@craigtegeler4677]

You are doing well for yourself as an outdoorsman! The hasty toboggan concept shelter is a super idea! It allows you more time to gather firewood and get your meal cooking asap, plus you have more allotted time to hunt and fish! If the weather was to turn super shitty within a drop of a hat, your hasty shelter would put you up more comfortably. So, with that concept in mind, if you were to improve on that; you would be golden for sure! Nice job pal!

[@halberry3813]

the skin on a potato is the best part. take care be safe and keep the vids coming,awesome!!!!

[@bigskye606]

Get yourself a cheap clear plastic tarp that you can drape over the toboggan. It will prevent drafts and lets the heat from the fire get captured inside with you. It makes a big difference.

[@joniselbe4798]

BIG SKYE that's what I was gonna say. sled was perfect piece of plastic is nothing to carry

[@hermit6208]

No, you don't deserve a snack!! You let those grouse get away!! LOL. Canada, they think of everything. A 'washroom' in the backwoods in northern Saskatchewan? Awesome. Great video. Nothing like a comfortable little nook on a cold night out. Excellent. And if I were there, maybe some of your potatoes might go missing. Probably a chipmunk or something. Subbed and liked.

[@wallacepelletier698]

i really miss that kind of life.i have never seen your channel as soon as i saw i subed right away

[@rtmosgordon]

Im used to seeing Trap with you , this is an earlier video before you had him . Thanks for Posting these you are very good for a one man production and your trips are always welcome ...

[@adventure002006]

That is one large Toboggan. Must be nice to be able to carry what is needed and to even sleep in if necessary. Awesome looking dinner. I just spent a few nights in tent at -35c. Make sure I take an empty poweraide or gatoraid bottle to bed and use as pee bottle. Saves having to drag yourself out of a warm sleeping bag at such fridgid temperature, just wiz in the bottle. screw the lid on very tight and go back to sleep :-)

[@Bushway]

LOL smart!!

[@adventure002006]

learnt that trick when kayaking. Many times there is no way you can get on shore to go pee, nor standup and go, so you always have pee bottle in the kayak. Just carried that thought into sleeping bag on cold rainy or snowy nights.

[@tomm2812]

Peaceful. Looks like fun. How do you have cellular service that far into the bush? Good camp. That sleeping bag looks like minus 30°F bag. I have one same style and color outside and red check plaid inside. Toasty warm. I have admired your toboggan, mine is more open, and not as conducive to sleeping overnight in as yours. That looked like a 3030 leaning there in addition to your shotgun you are well prepared. Best

[@wadereed8472]

I love your videos. Keep doing what your doing! Thanks!

[@NTycingProductions]

Cool video. I've been enjoying watching your outdoor adventures. Keep them coming :)

[@Bushway]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy em'

[@spartacus-jw9up]

Hey man, really enjoyed this video. Loved the solitude and remoteness and scenery of your beautiful part of the country. I've been through the Rockies Calgary, Banff, Jasper, Kelowna, Kamloops etc. but never your part of Canada. It's superb. One question - going solo, don't you ever worry that if you sustain an injury and you have no phone service you could be in real difficulty? Keep up the good wok dude. :)

[@xmind123]

You Rock. hope to see more of your adventures. Thank you for sharing.

[@claudebelanger8524]

Good job! I enjoyed watching your and subscribed so I can see more

[@goosehunter4845]

Excellent Video Leon.. Great way to overnight in the bush you got a very nice sleeping bag keep you pretty warm even in very cold temps i think... thanks for making the vid it was great have a good day!!

[@Bushway]

Thanks, Goose!

[@TheWildYam]

Great night out! Bonus grouse too. Where's all your snow? Almost looked like Spring camping at first. Makes for easier walking in the bush.

[@Bushway]

No idea and it's only supposed to get warmer..

[@thisluckybuck]

Looks super fun. Can't wait to do a trip like this!

[@johnblackie646]

That looked like a comfy setup with the sleigh, great eats , moose and taters, nice taking the 12 gauge and 30-30 along and getting a grouse, great trip, Best of Luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@Bushway]

Thanks, John!

[@rkjp57]

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

tony del mauro I know, eh? Looks like a great guy to hang out in the bush with.

[@swedish_woodsman7153]

Very nice video! Great camp! 🌲 😊 🔥

[@teddyjelke2537]

Pretty good video clip 👍🏼👌🏽🙏🏽

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

One eternity later! Made me chuckle. Cool view on the map. Hard to beat moose meat. You ever worry about cooking where you sleep? Not sure what the bear situation is like down there. Take care!

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

...having the big bag is nice, what one needs is a piece of Styrofoam SM between you and the ground...I've been thinking about a big black sheet of Carbon Felt as a top cover...

[@joeannm4495]

That is a nice video. My goodness he is handsome...wow.

[@proxiong9625]

Hate to say this but how did you start your fire?with matches or a lighter?

[@JungGung]

that was a very challenging night...freezing cold....I cant live with that kind of temperature....

[@markwallingford3252]

Just subbed your channel i,m from Hamilton Ontario.. Where are you in Canada ? Mark Wallingford....

[@Bushway]

[@nickstcroix6195]

Great vide looks like a nice trip what kind of shotgun is that

[@Bushway]

Winchester SXP

[@richardsmith7531]

just keep it real and you'll do great.dont be fake or change like everyone else.

[@dewaltdoug8866]

Could add a flap pannal that could serve as a flap to give bit more protection. Grt vid dude

[@kevendrover2442]

was that a 22 leaver action or 30-30 you had on your schoulder

[@Bushway]

30-30

[@Mossman4u2]

Cool 😎 video Leon

[@regalbowman3143]

How would you rate those Muck boots?

[@jameswatson7136]

That's a pretty old marlin rifle? 30-30?

[@Bushway]

Yup!

[@markdemelo7643]

Thats a awesome idea sleeping in there brother, would be cool to put a wood top on it with hinges on one side so when u lay it sideways like u did u could flip it up like a roof over front of u. The possibilities are endless with that, great video i hope you make a ton more. Subbed & liked

[@danhold1]

great job

[@michaeltellurian825]

The real deal. Thank you.

[@67wing]

[@billgrant3886]

[@Bushway]

Thanks, Bill!

[@AnnetteZang]
