Weeklong Cold Fall Wilderness Adventure

I head out into the woods with my dog Monty and a couple of friends to spend a week in the wilderness. We cook up some delicious food and try catching some fish for dinner. The temperatures get pretty cold and we have some rain to deal with!

Ok, I HAD to pause the video to thank you for the slo-mo footage of the huge pike that got away!! I was (almost) as devastated as you were when the net came up empty after that fierce fight to (almost) land the fish; it felt a little better to me to at least catch a glimpse of the beast!!! So glad you had more than one camera running!!! Ok, now back to the video.......😂😂😂

[@Mooshkie50able]
