Enjoy the new video everyone! There will be lots more to come. Shelter building, camping trips, hunting and fishing, and much more - hopefully even some content involving the new horses. Remember to give the video a like if you enjoyed, share it with your friends, check out my other social media accounts (link in description), and leave some feedback and what you liked and disliked. It's all greatly appreciated. Happy new year!

[@trudiswanson9855]

Thank you for the exceptional axe handle fix knot lesson. I'm going to replay it! So useful!! 🇭🇲 Trudi. Australia

[@wituikbws]

I’m glad I was able to remember it. I hadn’t done the knot for 3 years 😬 Thanks for watching!!

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Nice video Nicholas. Great to see you out in the woods. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks much

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to making more content. It's hard currently as we got a massive snowfall awhile back (3 feet overnight), but once the snow starts to melt, expect tons of videos 👍

It was, minus the axe breaking!

Hey Nicholas!! Enjoyed the video. Great to see you back out. 🤠 Take it easy. Roger

Hey Roger! It's nice to see you're still watching!! You take it easy as well!

Well done. More, please.

Will do!

Awesome! I feel like I've gone back to the 1800s watching your video! More traditional stuff yes please Subscribed!

[@tacticaltonto3777]

Finally.... Been missing your videos..!!

[@wituikbws]

Me too 😆 There will be lots more to come

[@marthaneuhauser1019]

I love all your videos unfortunately KZbin didn't alert me but watching 2 days later!

[@geographyinaction7814]

Been a while fella, love the video. Your channel is fantastic, as it is relative to where I live with all of the beauty and challenges. I love the British bushcrafters, but a Honey Badger seems to be their biggest threat. Cooking food in bear country is a different discipline. Cheers mate.

[@wituikbws]

A discipline I neglect to follow 😆 I do absolutely nothing but have a rifle and a dog around to deal with the threat of bears, and with all the raw meat I have at my camps, I am yet to be visited by a bear believe it or not. I did have a cougar come by my camp last trip though, which is worse in my opinion haha

[@ericstoever9577]

Thanks for sharing the videos! Beautiful country, great lesson on how to deal with adversity. Now you have another axe/hatchet to re-haft! I hope your new year is safe, happy and healthy. Best wishes from here in the Allegheny National Forest in Northwestern Pennsylvania.

[@wituikbws]

I had to remember that knot from 3 years go - hadn't done it since I learnt it, but it sure did save my trip. Not having that axe would've made things a lot more complicated. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@vincentrogister5006]

Love your choices in gear man even more intresting to watch people who bushcraft with that old world feel, I'll take my leather waxed cotton and wool over synthetic any day just feels and looks better

[@wituikbws]

Couldn't agree more. Pioneers opened up an entire continent using gear like that. I think that vouches for a lot more than a few Amazon and KZbin reviews on a made in China "upgrade" over the original designs; for example, Fiskars axes 🤮😆

[@journeyman7189]

As always, beautifully shot and a relaxing atmosphere. Happy New Year to you and yours Nicholas. Nate

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@trakyboy5128]

That's just ONE of the reasons y ya need to carry bank line 😉 Of course a saw as back up helps. Excellent video amigo !!!

[@wituikbws]

After discovering bankline, I no longer carry paracord. I wonder if I'm the only one? Thanks for watching!

[@peakbagger2014]

@@wituikbws I’m in the same boat. Bank line for me baby!

[@AlbertNaranjo]

This is cool... not just because you are doing this stuff out there... but you are also doing it WHILE doing some great camera work.

[@wituikbws]

I’m happy you enjoyed. There will be a lot more to come in the future 🤠

عودة حميدة يا صديقي 🍁❤

[@sonofabear]

Beautifully shot as always! I love how well maintained your gear is. Mine needs some work... haha

[@wituikbws]

Thank you! I've been extremely anal over having my gear in good shape lately. Yet, I will still not wash my bush pants. Go figure 😎

[@niklasrajfalk]

Hi friend This is Niklas From Stockholm, Dear friend I Wish you and family Happy New Year, 2021. It's been a while, I saw you. I like your new documentary series movie, I miss your beautiful dog, he's not with you this time, you're just a Sam in the shade, But anyway, I'm happy to see your new documentary. I like it. I hope I will someday see is in your country.

[@wituikbws]

Hi Niklas! I'm happy to see you're still watching. Happy New Year to you as well! Unfortunately, my dog wont be coming with me much anymore. She's a bit too old now and it's making her somewhat of a lability. Maybe a new puppy will join me sometime soon? Thanks for commenting!

[@niklasrajfalk]

@@wituikbws Hi dear friend, I am very happy that you write me back, I follow you and your beautiful dog a few years, I hope I will see your new puppy soon, I like your documentaries movies, I wish you luck to my best friend .

[@mfavia620]

Awesome dude. Really enjoyed this video. Nice repair on the handle. Btw, haven’t seen Marie on your latest videos. Nice to have company once in a while. Thanks for sharing and we’ll catch ya on the next adventure. ATB Mike

[@wituikbws]

Thanks! I was lucky it broke the way it did, otherwise I would've been down to my knife. Marie will be back as soon as she can! The borders are still closed, so she's unable to come for a visit and see the new country. Thanks for watching!

Bummer about your axe handle. I would have stood there and complained about it before fixing it. LOL Thanks for the video

Oh trust me, I did. I has to edit out some swearing 🤣

[@marthaneuhauser1019]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND MARIE! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU 2 WERE MARRIED! I NOTICED YOUR RING! PRAY ALL IS WELL!

[@wituikbws]

Happy new year! The ring has a bit of a sad story behind it unfortunately. Marie and I live in different countries as you may know (she’s American, I’m Canadian), so it leaves us in a logistically challenging situation. We both wear the ring to always remind us of each other while we are apart, which is sadly more often than we are together over the years. The only finger the ring fits on happens to be that one, but I am more than happy to have people assume I’m married to her :)

what pants are you wearing. they look really great

[@peakbagger2014]

What kind of backpack is that? And where can I find one?

[@themilkbag9660]

what kind of fur pelt was that? btw AWESOME video!

[@wituikbws]

That is the pelt of a whitetail deer my uncle and father shot. It’s older than me! Pretty nice that I got to use it out in the bush all them years later.

[@jito7377]

Really relaxing video, man :) Q: Is there a list of all your gear? Some pieces are very unsual and I would like to learn more about them.

[@wituikbws]

Thanks!! There isn't since most of my gear is either handmade or extremely old. Occasionally some of the more interesting pieces make it onto my Instagram and Facebook where I detail more about them. You can check them out here instagram.com/wituiksrwl/ and facebook.com/wituiksrwl 👍

where your Horse?

[@wituikbws]

Not in this video, but will be in future ones!

[@mickyantoniazzi8179]

Hot snack in the woods. Doesn't get any better... Looks like you've graduated to waxed cotton pants....am I right?

[@wituikbws]

Correct - wax and oil mix. I made them myself using The Lone Woodman's recipe on a pair of Carhartts. They are great, although I would double or even triple the amount of wax/oil I used if I were to make them again

[@Aokijy]

@@wituikbws Would you mind sharing more details about the recipe?

[@wituikbws]

@@Aokijy The Lone Woodman has an entire video on them. If you search “ultimate tin pants” they should come up 👍

The next one is longer! (Slightly) :)
