[@joedelaney1629]

Chuck Its time you you to have your own TV show Well done

Ha. I'll be needing a Producer Joe....you interested? (You already have a great knife so you're in!) lol !! Good to here from you bud👍

[@robertsimard735]

What a beauty day. My son's snowmobile is much like Andrews. No track, no windshield. Go fast, get cold, get stuck. Wait for dad to pull you out and wait for dad to carry all supplies. I glad to see I am not the only one. Wouldn't change a thing. So great.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha. It’s been that way forever with Andrew and I for sure He does have one ordered similar to mine for this winter though. I guess he’s finally caught on after all those years 👍😉

[@lettoadventures4086]

We certainly enjoy your videos. And was interested to see the spring. Here in L'Anse Au Clair, on the south coast of Labrador, we have a similar one that we call Bubbling Sands. As kids we were told it was bottomless and warned to stay away. Foundation of Youth you say? I think I'll go for a drink!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Thanks Bonnie. We actually stayed in L'Anse Au Clair two nights ago on our way back to Wabush. We always stay there when travelling to the Island. The Bubbling Sands sound so cool!! And yes, I will continue to drink from the fountain as much as possible too!! lol👍

[@selwynvey5544]

Thanks Chuck. Just ordered the Base camp. Thought I had everything until I saw you with that great kettle on the ice.. all the best to you and willow.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

[@grousehunter67]

A nice trip , great idea for the stove pad , i've only ever found single bubble springs pretty cool to see 4 and that is a nice stove , and I picked up the canoe cb I was surprised how heavy it is

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

The model I have is a touch heavier than my other stoves, however, I always have it towing behind my snowmobile so a few extra pounds doesn't really matter. The convenience from using it certainly makes up for the extra 8-10 lbs👍👍

[@grousehunter67]

Haha I was referring the weight to the canoe crib board that was on amazon

[@markball2048]

Cool idea for a stove base

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Thanks Mark....works really well. I forgot to point out the fact that there was virtually no snow melt underneath the stove during my stay👍

[@Dacosta1991]

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

Chuck that was a great overnighter and a cool water spring, i say the water must of taste awesome. here in nl the bears are out around here and most of our snow is gone. i was hoping you would find some chaga. till next time take care

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I'll keep looking for the Chaga although I'm suspecting our stands of birch are too rare and isolated to contain much. I did have a friend who gave me some in the meantime. I will keep looking....it's actually fun to hunt it. Take care bud

[@rickhancock2742]

Awesome.

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

awesome video Chuck as usual, when out in the wilderness camping like this everything just seems right in the world, sometimes its hard to pack up and go back home, stay safe

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

You’re absolutely right Elwood. I had enough supplies for two nights but the snow melt came in so fast it was almost scary. I actually just made it out in time as the snow has lost all bottom to it ever since. Once you get SWT up and enjoy the comfort, it’s always nice to have that second or third night 👍

[@lonnieford2025]

Great video Chuck, looks like a good spot to visit in during the summer to. Stay safe.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes I may attempt to get back in there in the summer time....expecially when the weather gets real hot....just to see how cool and wonderful the water would be then👍

[@SKEvolved]

A little jealous you are still using your tent and stove. I've already had to mow my lawn 5 times this spring. Snow long gone. Great video again! -Steve

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Oh no! lol. It's fading fast here too (I was using the snowblower yesterday to blow the snow off of my lawn just to try to get it to grow!) 👍

[@lesliewatts2878]

Chuck, my wife's grandparents had a log cottage built on a lake in the Laurentians north of Montreal in 1939. The lake is spring fed with absolute crystal clear water. Lake trout can be caught 50 yds. from the wharf. In 6 ft. of H20 you can dive down, feel and see the cold water vents gently shifting the sand granules on the bottom. In twenty ft. of H20 you can feel the cold on the surface as you swim into it. WAKE YOU RIGHT UP ! Keep well. Keeep safe, you and yours.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Thanks leslie. This was a good read👍

[@kevinpriebe7972]

im so envious of the life you have created for you and your family Your videos are great Cant wait for the next one

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@gordoncook7613]

I have a cabin in the Adirondack mountains with a spring that boils out of the ground also, white sand boils up and my Dad always called it the fountain of youth also. The cabin has been in our family name for 120 yrs😁 it stays 38 degrees year round. Nothing like it!!!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

That is so cool!! I plan to hike into this one during the summer and see if it's still flowing as much and test its temp too. Thank you for sharing your story with us!!👍

[@gregmoore5991]

Thank you so much Chuck. Enjoying your videos very much. We spent ten years in Lab West (Scully Security) and these videos bring back so many good memories of times spent in the Big Land. The last time we met was during one of your call outs to the mine for a troubled black bear in a Hydro dumpster. LOL Keep up the great work! All the best.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha. Yes, I've went in there a good many times over the years for bear work (and still do of course). Great to hear from you. Thks for the kind words👍

[@jranhansen4711]

Hello. I live in Northern Norway and enjoy your tour movies. What you experience out in nature is very similar to what we do on the weekends (especially in winter). I am a family man who likes to go on trips to find some peace and at the same time be able to reap some of what nature can give us. Hope you continue to go on tour for many years, film and give good advice to us who follow you :-) Regards. Jøran Hansen, Northern Norway

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Thanks Joran. I really appreciate your kind words and am very happy that you are following along. So nice to hear from Norway!👍

[@thor942]

I remember we had a similar spring in the woods by my house when I was young. It was fascinating. Thanks for the video, and bringing back fond memories.

[@jodyjefferies3093]

Hey buddy great video. One of my favourite. The spring reminds me of Lloyd’s spring. What a great day u and willow had. I love days like that. Take care.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

I've had a few people from there now mention Lloyd's Spring. Funny thing is, I'm sure I've passed by it many times, but don't recall ever noticing it (or Craig, Greg, etc) ever pointing it out. It didn't seem to be a 'thing' back then I guess? (Or maybe we were just too savage trying to shoot a rabbit or something lol) Too cool bud....I plan to visit it next winter when I come home👍

[@jodyjefferies3093]

Chuck Porter - Everything Outdoors yes sir. You can see the bottom same as what you were showing there. I’m sure you must have been there at some point. Its 1/2 mile or so down pass the lower part or burnt arm pond.

[@darrylporter8601]

Another great..interesting video..!! There's an under ground spring (Lloyd's spring back behind burnt arm pond like that one)..It never freezes over and I've noticed small trout in it from time to time..

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Really! I never knew that one was there before....the coolest thing. I;m really anxious to visit this one next January and see if it's open then👍

[@reneaucoin4074]

great show again. That spring is amazing. No luck with the Chaga?

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

No I’m beginning to think we don’t have enough birch here to have gathered the spores etc. I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve looked at thousands of trees and haven’t found one square inch. And I can’t find anyone around here who has found any. I did find a friend in Eastern Labrador who found some (they have much more birch there). In any event thanks for tuning in 👍👍

[@reneaucoin4074]

@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors Ill have to check with my cousin in Gander to see if he had any luck

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes I know I grew up on the island (40 mins from gander) and we had it there. That’s why I’m puzzled that it’s not up here (given we are further north)

Hello Chuck, very nice video, with a beautiful landscape. I think it's better if you add a third trailer and take a standard-sized bed for your long-haired supervisor. I am just imagining what a forester or a policeman would say to me in Germany, if I was on the road with our dog in front of my stomach, on a quad bike. Certainly a great picture with a great ticket.

[@deanmartin7089]

Sure love the video, a great spot to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

[@stephenrickettsNL]

You are killing me Chuck. That was an awesome way to spend a couple days. There was nothing I enjoyed more at this time in the season than to go explore on a good hard crust, especially early morning, and sneak in and out of spots that were otherwise beyond our reach due to snow depth. I always found spring to be the best time to explore trails and the warm evening sun made it all the better. Few rides left in Lab West yet! Great find on that fountain of youth. Have never seen such a thing before. Near Buchans for a lot of years there have been abandoned diamond drill sites where the casing is left in the ground. I recall one in particular with an approx 3 inch pipe sticking a couple feet above ground and there is a steady stream of water rising from who knows how deep. That was the coolest water you could ever drink in summer and was always easy access all winter. Your video reminded me of that.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Great comment Stephen. A good read and a wonderful piece of history. I hope I can get back to this underground Spring in the summer to see how it presents itself then. Thanks for tuning in again bud👍

[@garychristian7504]

Hi Chuck, greetings from Willow, Alaska. This was a really nice video, the kind I like to watch. I bought an Eskimo tent a couple years back and turned it into a hot tent. This is the ultimate camping tent other than a Wall tent. I love your dog, what breed dog is he? I live off grid and I have a remote cabin that I travel to in Winter, takes 2 1/2 hrs. by snowmachine and 25 min. by floatplane, amazing, eh? I still have lots of snow here right now but, it's melting fast each sunny day. Take care and thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, that Spring? Doesn't get any better.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

The lake isn’t real close to the Smallwood reservoir (although I spend a lot of time around that area). This video was shot within 10 kms of my cabin. I love to spend some time exploring close to my cabin and enjoy that just as much as being 100 miles away. Love guysborough!!! ❤️

[@gyates93]

Do you use the articulating rear skid on your Skandic? Seems like it dug down a fair amount in reverse.

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Yes I do. It’s just that our snow is so powdery here it’s common for it to sink down in reverse. Plus I carry a fair bit of equipment in my cargo box, which tends to make it sink more as well

[@gyates93]

@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors I guess you can only expect so much from a snow machine in reverse! I just purchased an Expedition 1200 with the 154 x 20 inch articulating track so I'm excited to see how it performs.

No issues yet Bryan. I have two different hitches on two sleds and all working out great. I keep the second one light as possible. Good in that you can just take a medium sized sleigh with you (or a fishing dedicated one) once you get set up👍

[@kevinss9705]

One question----How come you buy all of that extra equipment to lay on top of the snow for the shove? You are on land and shovel out the snow from inside your tent. Then lay down your covers and pine limbs on the land for comfort?? Nevermind, I see that snow is really deep when you stuck those limbs into the snow. I understand now!! Thank you for your videos!! I really like them and get a lot of info from you!!!

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

No problem Kevin. And I’m glad you observed the depth of our snow. We get an average of 14 feet per year so it’s virtually impossible to shovel out for camping. Tks for tuning in👍

I want to get that stove with the water jacket. It'll be nice to have the hot water on demand,.

Yes Kevin I plan to get one as well....especially on longer trips. It's amazing how often you find yourself looking for a bit of hot water👍

[@SCOTIAN_]

That water looked good from my couch , I would be bottling it up for home ! Few questions .... does the snow ever leave 😂. And that’s a lot of snow still for end of April , it’s this a Normal winter ? Also do you need to wear helmets on sleds there ( just wondering of course ) or up to the person ? Also wondering why you don’t have a Grohmann knife from your visits to NS ! Another great video as always .

[@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors]

Haha...still a bit of snow but it's normal to have it until usually the third week of May or so. It goes real fast once it starts. It is not a legal requirement to wear helmets on snowmobiles here in NL. We do wear them however in high traffic areas like the groomed snowmobile trail system. And I don't own a Grohmann but I hope to someday!!👍👍

[@SCOTIAN_]

You should installed a motion camera (hunting) to see the bear when it leave the Den . Thank for the video

I really wanted to do that, but I guessed ( and was correct) I wouldn't get back to that spot for many weeks to come (and possible not even then as there's nor roads etc). That is why I kept going back there 5 different days....I hoped to see some movement...it is the perfect time for them to leave the dens here in Lab West....oh well, there's always next year!!👍
