Surviving a Cold Winter Night Alone in the Maine Woods | MOOSE WOODS

[@WendyLKoc]

Hey Cory! good to see you! Love seeing you build a shelter to survive in. I sure hope you stayed warm, and all it well with you and Gracie.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Hey Wendy, it was pretty cozy for the most part, we're ok thanks for asking

[@JulieCrawford-l8r]

Totally enjoy everything you do!❤

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks so much

[@greencabin62]

I enjoyed this very much. It’s nice to occasionally see some different content. Thanks.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Great video man enjoyed

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

Agreed

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it

[@cjharmon6176]

I think this was a great addition to your channel. Shows that you can survive if you ever get yourself in a situation where you can’t get out of the woods before dark! Great job Corey!

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks, it's good to have a little variety!

[@Mountaincamping-u4v]

Nice to meet you my friend 🙋🏻‍♀️🌹

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks for watching!

[@markreynolds2351]

For me, the reason I watch your channel is because you are genuine and invite us along on your journey. There is a glut of contrived ‘survival’ videos on KZbin. If camping in a lean to shelter is part of your outdoor activities then I’ll watch. I’m less likely to watch $10 Walmart survival videos. Thanks for the content!

[@TheMaineWoods]

Appreciate that, I try to keep it real. Definitely won't be doing any $10 Walmart survival challenges lol. I used what I genuinely carry with me in my pack for these trips.

[@kearnsey64]

That was so cool! Nice one Corey! You could have made this into a longer video and we all would have totally watched it!

[@TheMaineWoods]

It felt pretty silly doing this to be honest, that's why I appreciate the feedback so much, need to know if this is something worth doing or not.

[@Skeletors_Closet]

Living the dream brother! Keep up the good work for us that can’t join you. Thanks for not ruining the video with useless commentary. New sub from Mississippi.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@NewEnglandTales]

Hardcore. That was a pretty nice temporary shelter you built. Hope you've had a chance to thaw out. 🥶

[@TheMaineWoods]

I got really chilled on the ride out, took me a while to warm back up

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

Harcore absolutely right

[@jennifertriplett6149]

Good to see your video. Liked the content, good education on survival.. Looking forward to seeing Gracie and update on cabin. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks! Update on the cabin coming soon!

[@BryanDenlingerKJVM]

My son and I are watching your video, and sharing a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough LARABAR. :)

[@TheMaineWoods]

They're pretty good, wish they didn't have added sugar, am thinking about making my own

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

🤩😍🥰

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

hello from Canada great video Brother cheers

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks, brother!

[@danmorris447]

Just subscribed to your channel and love it ! We live in Connecticut, we’ve been to Jackman Maine 3 times , I’ve been on a deer hunt in 2001 with Scott Bede . We love Maine ! Thanks for your content !

[@TheMaineWoods]

Welcome to the channel!

[@shaneclark207]

The short story, To Build a Fire, by Jack London, came to mind as I watched this. Great set up!!! 👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@TheMaineWoods]

Fire is life

[@tremdawg]

Nice to get out and some winter camping I haven’t done it in years since I was in Boy Scouts. It always looks fun, especially doing some ice fishing at the same time.

[@westernsoutherner1]

Moose central. Great video. Love that sled.

[@TheMaineWoods]

It's a great machine

[@lisaogg6337]

Great video, I really enjoyed It!! How's sweet Gracie doing? God Bless you and Gracie

[@TheMaineWoods]

Gracie is great, she sat this one out, but she’ll be with me on the next adventure

[@PamelaDraper-j8y]

Hi Cory !! 😁. So happy to see a video from you, it's been a while. Great video, it's supposed to snow here in Calabash, NC tonight for the first time in 15 yrs 🥶. We live 10 miles from North Myrtle Beach, SC . Hope to see more from ya !! Stay warm, stay healthy and stay safe . God Bless You 🙏🏼. Give Gracie a big ole hug & treat for me too ❤

[@TheMaineWoods]

Gracie and I might have to go some where warm with beaches this winter after a few trips

[@PamelaDraper-j8y]

@TheMaineWoods I think a well deserved beach destination during your " mud season" is a great idea ☺️. Kids are in school, beaches aren't too bad ( people wise), your still allowed to have dogs on the beach in most places. If Gracie is anything like our lab/pit mix Turbo she will love the ocean !! 🏖️😂

[@TheMaineWoods]

@@PamelaDraper-j8y I'm seriously considering it, we can have adventures anywhere we go, do you have any recommendations?

[@PamelaDraper-j8y]

@@TheMaineWoods Cory, when we use to vacation here it was in a house on the back bay area with family members. We had 4 kids and other family had 2 . We would stay at Sunset Beach, NC one of the most beautiful beaches on the southern tip of NC. We'd go to North Myrtle Beach & Myrtle Beach for touristy stuff like Alligator Adventure ( boys, you know snakes, spiders, alligators 🤷🏼‍♀️). Restaurants of every kind. If you like putting putt golf that is every couple miles ! Seafood 😋😋😋. There is Vereen Gardens in Little River near North Myrtle ( free), Myrtle Beach State Park is gorgeous, has beach campsites, nature trails, a fishing pier ( there is a fee to enter). Kayaking the Intercoastal Waterway, jet skiing is really big thing. You can search Myrtle Beach activities for events, entertainment . Prices aren't horrible for most stuff. Sunset Beach is more for spending time at the beach with a few shops on the island & restaurants are on the mainland. We like Holden Beach also. We have family that stays there each summer. Look up North Carolina Brunswick Beaches. We also love, love, love the mountains of NC ( Maggie Valley) . 😁

[@TheMaineWoods]

@ thanks for the info,I’m going to look into it

[@mike241]

Nice to see you, Corey. Great video. Your, a smart man to survive a night in the woods 🪵 I couldn't do it lol. Hope Gracie is well. Stay warm until next time.

[@TheMaineWoods]

I think you could do it if you had to, fire is life in those conditions. Thanks

[@SleepyHighway-qh3cc]

Truly enjoyed this,Cory. 💪

[@TheMaineWoods]

Nice, thank you

[@meganlalli5450]

Great video. Your shelter looked quite cozy.

[@TheMaineWoods]

It got the job done

[@williamshaver6281]

Great video…

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thank you

[@cindyblair1283]

It’s looking a little cold stay warm my friend. So nice to see you really miss seeing any of your video hoping soon you give us a up date on your cabin. Anyways thanks for sharing and missed Gracie on this one.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Update will be soon

[@adventuresinthewild]

Great selection on your shelter location. I'm sure that big rock deflected some heat into your shelter. Nice video, Corey.

[@TheMaineWoods]

As soon as I saw that rock I knew it was the place, blocked the wind, thermal mass radiated the heat back into my shelter, it had some character too, that rock was essential to me

[@AChildofLightHEATHER]

It is nice to see you out there and in such a breath taking place! Thank you for giving us a peek at another side of your life. Hope all is well with Gracie❤ still miss my lab, but I have a black mouth cur dog named Sweetie and she lives up to her name! God bless!

[@TheMaineWoods]

the word "cur" always makes me thing of the song "curs in the weeds" by horse feathers

[@kerricampbell1003]

❤the beautiful woods of Maine. Just to be completely honest I'd love to camp outside during the beginning of winter. Your a very brave man. 😉

[@TheMaineWoods]

It's a different experience, what I like about it is that the bugs aren't bad...

[@patti5999]

Good for you! Winter camping is not for the faint of heart. Many years ago I went on a winter backpacking trip with a friend- Mts. Guyot, Bond, and the Bond Cliff- and it nearly ended me. The walk out along the Pemigewasset river was the longest hike of my life. I never want to feel cold like that again.

[@TheMaineWoods]

You survived, I don't enjoy being cold, wet, tired and hungry as much as anyone. I think it's necessary to force yourself into endure discomfort by choice because it helps when we are faced with unchosen suffering, you know what I mean?

[@patti5999]

@@TheMaineWoods I do know what you mean. I wanted a deep winter experience, and I got it. I just didn't realize that there would come a point when the only way to get warm was to just start moving and keep moving. I love your videos. Thank you for this channel.

[@TheMaineWoods]

@ experiences like that although miserable at the time, make me appreciate things like a warm bed, hot meal a lot more

[@B-leafer]

I like it! Nothing wrong with extra curricular camping..lol. Peace

[@TheMaineWoods]

Good practice lol

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Awesome video bro

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks for watching!

[@My_Girl_Milley]

Your videos havent been showing up in my feed. This is the first one which pushed through in a few months, maybe since early deer season. Without seeing your content and not seeing Gracie, i hope and pray she is okay. I know she has a birthday this month...

[@TheMaineWoods]

She's doing well, chugging along, you'll see her in the next one

[@DawnMillington-i9t]

Nice lean too, reminds me of the Outdoor Boys. Hope your night went well. I had 0 here this morning in upstate NY. 😊

[@TheMaineWoods]

Luke knows how to survive for sure

[@andrewczuba498]

Hopefully that wasn't last night. it was -7 last night up here in the county! home for a couple days, and I just made a cup of 9-mile, and I get to watch your video, sweet! very smart to build your fire into that rock/cliff and put your shelter up to it !😎👍👍

[@TheMaineWoods]

It was a few nights ago, the rock really threw off a lot of heat, it worked well.

[@michaelmarquis1824]

- 6 this morning in Augusta when I got up .

[@2003wrx64]

I think i would have taken the snowmobile to one of the cabins you've restored!😁

[@TheMaineWoods]

We will be doing that soon

[@glennfranklin5293]

i pray all is well with you.

[@DrewBlue32]

Good work.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Thanks!

[@greenshovel]

Only thing missing is your army issued green wool blanket 😊

[@TheMaineWoods]

I could have used that, I might still be out there lol

[@mobilewintercamp7515]

Im guessing the mountain on your homepage is Katahdin? That kind of indicates the region you’re in? Snowmobiled from Greenville to Millinocket more than ten years ago. Real wilderness. Now I have a camp in Eustis. Hopefully make a return to the region someday

[@stephengagnon4714]

You might hear Bigfoot knocking on the wood? LOL

[@arewethereyet-lifeoffgrid]

I’m in Maine too also off grid 😊

[@TheMaineWoods]

nice

[@fatfred1234]

Great to see you posting again! How cold was it when you camped out? My idea of roughing it, is if the resort has a lumpy mattress! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheMaineWoods]

lol, that's funny

[@karenh789]

Is there going to be a part two? I want to see how your night went. It's super cold here in Jersey. I can't imagine curling up in a lean to, on pine branches keeping one eye open to check that the fire doesn't go out in the middle of the woods on a cold winter night. But I bet you were just fine.😊

[@TheMaineWoods]

I stopped filming, I didn't think I was going to make this video

[@sandrajones2184]

Always look foward to your videos they are great. My question is in the woods around my camp in Me. are mostly hardwoods not many boughs to use as a roof or bed what would you suggest to fashion a leanto Paul J.

[@TheMaineWoods]

A small tarp, plastic sheet, or mylar blanket can be a simple wind/rain covering for shelter and is an easy addition to a pack. heat loss from contact with the ground can cause hypothermia so there needs to be a barrier from that. Evergreen boughs work great for that but if you don't have any you will have to get creative. if you had enough dry leafs that can work. at the very least just being off the ground on small logs or branches is better than nothing, an important element to site selection for a survival shelter is the resources available, making sure you will have the material you will need close by at hand. Just my thoughts, I'm no expert

[@paddyabroad634]

Great video! I think everyone should learn basic survival skill like this. Showing people how to use a rock to reflect the heat from your fire into your shelter is the type of knowledge that could save a life. Do you filter water from streams or just boil it? I am never quote sure which I should do.

[@TheMaineWoods]

In this situation I just boiled which kills bacteria and pathogens but doesn't remove contaminants. Each situation is different. I prefer a pure spring source which doesn't require filtration or purification.

[@chevybill1833]

Hi Cory, great video! But where is Gracie? Hope you both are going well. Look forward to more videos.

[@TheMaineWoods]

Gracie had a sleepover, she's endured enough hardship with me for the past 12 years, I don't need to torture that girl any more lol

[@debidoo1644]

🥶🥶🥶❤️

[@TheMaineWoods]

🥶

[@My_Girl_Milley]

I'm 8 seconds in and I can tell you why you survived the cold night....you ride Ski-doo!!!! If you had any other sled, and got into trouble during the night, you'd never survive! Smart man choosing Skidoo!

[@TheMaineWoods]

I like the tundra, it's a good sled for me

[@johnsandell4501]

Interesting episode and definitely enjoyed it. Gracie???

[@TheMaineWoods]

Gracie had a sleepover with some friends and was probably snuggling in a warm bed

[@dylanbradford3813]

How is the cabin coming or did you take a pause ?

[@mikeklamer9322]

Are you ever going to get back on your cabin ?

[@skruloos1]

I prefer your more traditional videos..theres a ton of people doing survivalist videos,and there all kind of the same ..your construction videos and your interaction with gracie is what,imo,make your videos truly unique, and loved..

[@TheMaineWoods]

I appreciate you saying that, I'll keep that in mind for future videos!

I like the tubbs, they are a good utility snowshoe that do the job, i plan on getting a more traditional wooden pair with high flotation at some point
