Working The Smoke Shack

[@ketodad]

Really enjoyed this one man ! I been making jerky for a long time , but never that much ! That's a lot of chewin' right there. Good stuff. Thanks for making more videos ; we're really enjoying them. Them diamond rods are great for sharpening knives up. I got a couple of them. Keep 'em sharp buddy ! Pete in Edmonton

[@MerrymanOutdoors]

My trigger finger started twitching when you zoomed in on the wolf haha. Great video man. Growing up in Amish country they all had ice houses. It was pretty incredible walking into their ice house in July and seeing it half stocked with blocks of ice they cut from the neighbors pond. Might be a welcome addition to your cabin eh? Even a smaller version dug out in the ground. Trying to remember how it was built...block lined with styrofoam and sawdust I think.

[@anavidhunter]

That was fun hangin out with yah thru the process of smokin your Moose. It sure looked good to me too. I bet it makes for some of the best soup there is. That was wild seein that wolf following the beaver. Got to love hangin around out in nature. Kule show and lookin good around your cabin...lots of hard work is payin off for you. Thumbs up.

[@greyhoundfriend123]

This is the best smoked moose meat vid and peek into the world we shoudl be preparing for. Your dog is awesome much love!

[@adamnj66]

September 1st is rght around the corner, can't wait to see some moose video if you harvest a moose. I have watched your video on smoked beaver. Is the other meat from your trapping edible? I guess yes for rabbit what about the linx, wolverine and others that are trapped... can you use any of that meat or maybe make dinner for Charlie? Thanks man, great videos and appreciate you sharing your way of life with your KZbin fans.

[@mushercdn]

Another good video. Interesting wolf scene. Do you think the smoke was a factor in attracting it? What type of wood do you smoke with?The snow house suggestion is a good one. We have one at the fishing camp and we have snow until august. It's dug into the ground and lined with old mattrises.

[@curtman81]

excellent vid man. Thanks for inviting us into your world once again!

[@GotTwins29]

Damn... Charlie gets better food to eat than I do! Haha

[@tullysika]

Great videos keep them coming.

[@disco0752]

One of my favorite vids Wild North

[@Washkeeton]

I love your videos... wish there was a place here in AK that we could set up like you have and make it out there in the woods and have avail all the meat you do. Curious when your done smoking/drying your meat what do you store it in or how do you store it to preserve it through the summer time to prevent it from getting moisture.

[@hippykdb]

That was an awesome video, makes me want build a smoker and break out the deer and moose out of the freezer and get smoking. I only live the bush life part time but hopefully in the next year or two I'll be livin the life full time. Keep up the great videos and if there's anything I can help a fellow Metis/Canadian Native with just let me know. Take care Kevin

[@smallblockfuelie]

Great video, thanks! Any chance you could go into a little more depth on a video concerning the smoke house and smoking process? How did you build it and would you do it differently? Is that considered cold smoking?

[@ericbunksvintagesportsman6311]

Love the channel brother..God bless

[@adamnj66]

How did you keep that front moose shoulder from going bad, since you don't have a freezer out in the bush? Right on Man, by the way Charlie Dog is the star of the show. Should maybe get another Lab dog to add to the company. Peace

[@codyhindman4940]

the snare shop outa iowa sells alot of camlocks they can be found online just look them up

[@recon66661]

great video would love to live like that someday!!

[@JDKnifeworksjoedishaw]

best video i have seen in some time...makes me feel at home, and brings back memories..keep up the great work!!!!!

[@gjholcomb]

i think you have some of the best videos on the net.love watching to see what your up to.rock on dude!

[@weldweld5629]

Great videos wicked

[@paulmurphy9902]

that is the biggest roast i have ever seen

[@TheLionhater]

man i love looking everyday 4 a new vid. my favorites are the trapping vids but these are really good vids ur putting out. DO U USE JUST ANY GREEN HARDWOOD WHEN SMOKING OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? thanks 4 the sweet episodes u put out. cant wait to start some fall michigan trapping. between 75-100 traps on the line this year. PEACE MAN

[@averagefamily4272]

Another Great video!!!

[@jjdubuyou1976]

Maybe catch up with that big white sucker during the winter.... Great vid as always.

[@applejack120]

Love all your video's, I had a Charlie back in the 70's, he was a good dog too. I think of him every-time I watch your vid's. Love the trap-line, you have a great way of putting things together. I could taste that smoked meat, I'll have to get some started, mine will be venison. Keep them coming, keep your knives sharp and good fishing and Trapping this season.

[@azwer125]

Sometime you should do a small game hunting episode. Like a hare or some grouse little stuff like that.

[@livelife4471]

Nice to see you harvesting the berries. Nothing like fresh berries.

[@CochiFrogKnives]

Andrew, you don't need a bigger smoke shack. Just more racks, like double the four you have, Smoke is cheap, and more racks keep in more heat. Smoke will always rise, why not use the heat to do more meat?? You can space those racks at 4-5 inches and still make great meat. Go for it! Also, have you ever considered drying meat with just salt?? I love the taste of smoked meat/fish, but might tire of it 265 days a year!

[@MrGoosePit]

What a great video! Wish I could eat some of that moose meat and marrow right now. The berry pancake looked great too. I really envy the lifestyle you live. In all God's glory for sure! Can't wait to see your next adventure. -Kevin

[@trapperdreww]

great video! cant wait for the promotion!

[@ski31989]

hey man love all your videos! your livin the great life up there.... but what do you do for a shower in winter when the river is froze up?

[@stayingawake20]

Brother, what a great vid! Down to earth as always and instructional. Letting folks know they can, with a bit of desire, live pretty well in the woods and off nature! Salute! Thanks Bro!

[@MNTrapperNate]

Looks wonderful man ill take a piece :D

[@maximefcom]

Thank you for taking the time to share with people the life you live, really interesting for a city man like me.

[@disco0752]

Good to see Charlie

[@SeahawkCustomsPc-qk2zn]

+the wild north Man I love you're channel my friend. Its the best way to live free and simple but very hard work. I bought some land in Alaska and can't wait to move there in 2018. would love to come visit you some day and see how its done in Canada. smoked moose meat looking good.

[@woodcookstove1]

Man, If you had that meat in my home town it would be $20.00 per 8 to 10 oz or more! To buy junk beef smoked is c7.99 per 6 to 12oz .P.S. North Ga,U.S Perfect video!

[@fisherdave57]

Sorry about my last post, just saw this one and that you have freezer facilities nearby. How far is the nearest town? I love your videos, and Charlie ! We have had Labs for years, I think they are the best dogs, and you have a great one !

[@snakemast66]

i realised you used about one hindquarter of meat. out of curiosity how do you store all the other meat without spoiling it?

[@cabotbluegill]

Man you have great vids

[@johnroy6504]

great

[@dn2ze]

damn that bone morrow looks good with that dry meat.

[@NeverNeverSafari]

thats jerky looks good never had moose before

[@jimf1964]

Living the life. Don't need a ton of shit and a job that makes you work 60 hours a week to be happy.

[@LightfootRulz]

Love all the videos, especially the trapping videos. Kept eyeing that nice smoke house of yours up wondering how it worked. Was excited to see the "how to" video on smoking moose. Now I'm going to look and see if you have a "how to" on skinning and putting up beaver. Keep em coming, can't wait for the next one! Keep living the "Dream" brother.

[@TheWildNorth]

@azwer125 i have been meaning to do a video on that i will eventually. me and charlie go grouse hunting or something.

[@keidall]

awesome vids...ever see anything weird ala bigfoot? lol smoked bigfoot would probably taste good lol

[@jakerajsky]

Hello there... I'm a firefighter in Kansas city. My captain and I think your channel is great. Any chance we could come stay a few nights up there and see it for ourselves?

[@freakyflow]

I live in Northern Ontario There and hunting Tours you can go on here in Canada if you bag a moose Its a pain in the ass to get it across the border But you exchange it to the Local natives and Can get free meals and other things depending on the tour place ..google some places Kick back relax have a few beers and see a culture with in a culture

[@adamnj66]

Hey Cousin, did you ever consider selling some of that smoked moose meat online? There are lots of beef jerky makers that sell online and I am sure your smoked moose meat is much better. Just a thought, man.

[@licha5050]

when you going to post some new vids ? thanks keep up the good work

[@TheWildNorth]

@woodcookstove1 yeah its something stupidly priced like that here also i wouldent waste 42.99 for a pound of it.smoek moose meat is way better especially wen you season and make it yourself . thanks for commenting

[@Midwestupland]

My I ask how you keep the wood burning and make a lot of smoke?

[@TheWildNorth]

@stayingawake20 happy you enjoyed it swede a man can easily live off the land with todays technoligy...rifles guns compass e.t.c now the natives in the old days had it rough running around with clubs and bow/arrow or spears or whatever they used ha ha i got it made man. thanks for commenting

[@Nativesurvival]

im surprised you dont tap maples and make syrup, ive done it for several years and really love the syrup and it also cooks down into quite a bit of sugar as well when i dont stop at syrup in the reducing. Putting your own syrup on that beautiful pancake would of really set it off! no offense but that looked like fake corn syrup shit which is bringing down that awesome wild berry meal, i like the wild blueberrys near me and agree it transforms a pancake. what a great vid man, some wolf as well.. looked big even across that huge river, wish youd show how you break down a quarter and slice it, i would isolate muscle groups, get em as lean as i can then slice across the grain, whats your method? good looking slices you got there. Mitch

[@XELA55ALEX]

fuckin guy slices it with a spat ... lmao

[@helenbud]

yooooooooooooooooooooooo where in Canada you live at man you good at what you do

[@cwalker572004]

Nice country.

[@mesutnieder2368]

Cool men

[@dudley2112]

how did you store that quarter of moose meet between when it was shot and when you smoked it ?

[@wsc2004]

Is there anything you can make with smoked meat like that or do you just eat it like jerky?

[@GarnettM]

You peel your willow & burn the heart or whole thing ,And do you ever find any white sweet Goose berries damn I miss those in pancakes .

[@not2tees]

@adamnj66 Good idea - I'd be up for buying some of that! This video is like an ad.

[@TheWildNorth]

@MurrayGable i tried all kinds of brine soak the meat in sugar and salt i tried all kinds of spices and its all good

[@rogercloud6003]

Birth syrup and pancakes in the morning, Moose nabob in the evening.

[@bruceschmitz1984]

Salt water tiki egg floats tie chunks leave in brine 6 days and smoke diamond willow the best

[@TheWildNorth]

@adamnj66 it is llegal to sell wild meat!

[@JonJon205]

How do you store it when its finished? Jon L. Aviston Illinois.

[@dorsalasca5073]

Hi. a little advice...u can smoke the bones and try to make a great soup using them. u should really try

[@Nativesurvival]

..also, think i saw your bible on the sill, glad to see it ; )

[@Tinyshooterbill]

where do you get the back eddy seasoning? Is that made in Hay River?

[@jvmartin88]

i thought u wernt supposed to feed dogs cooked bones, i thought once it is cooked they can splinter and harm the dog.... am i wrong?

[@keidall]

moose is the best meat...haven't had it in years..brothers got his tags this year down home so hopefully I can get a feed

[@TheWildNorth]

@adamnj66 yeah lynx meat is great to eat i eat it every week or so during trapping season charlie dog just loves it. can also eat muskrat i dont care for it much though i dont think you can eat wolfs or wolverine might make u sick they really smell bad also.well maybe if you were starving i guess....... thanks for commenting

[@toiynhac]

have some moonshine Carl

[@elanjoeski]

ever use maple syrup on yer pancakes?

[@chippy33able]

Nice hat.. thanks for the vid. Would have liked to see some slicing and a bit of seasoning. Maybe another time? eh.. thanks

[@williamsanderson8796]

Hi,I'm from st. Laurent Manitoba. I see ol' Charlie looks a bit thin in this earlier video eh? I've watch most of you videos and of course Congratulations on your new show Andrew. I am proud of what you do here Cousin. Take care eh.

[@MrMarkar1959]

04/26/2022👍🏼 hope the fish are biting and Beer is colder

[@TheWildNorth]

@adamnj66 well i had that quarter off moose meat in town in the freezer frozen i brought it back out to my cabin it takes about 2 days to thaw out to start smoking. thanks for commenting

[@wyattdocsh5093]

you are a badass.... (you):Straight on man!

[@TheWildNorth]

@smallblockfuelie yeah maybe in a future video i can do that its very simple i just cut peeled and slapped a few logs together through some just scrap plywood i had laying around for the roof threw some gravel in for the floor and threw a nail in here and there it was simple and easy to make i dont think i would do it diffrently wen i built it i wanted it circular and done with logs cause i have never seen one built like that. it turned out great i can smoke about a half of a moose @ once

[@TheWildNorth]

@adamnj66 i put it in my freezer in town

[@TheWildNorth]

@TheLionhater i use red willow or diamond willow wen i smoke my meat but sure you can use any wood u want but each diffrent kind of wood gives it a diffrent flavour.if you used spruce it would taste like spruce i guess. thanks for commenting

[@alphatrapper]

andrew how do you store the meat after it is done smokeing

[@sanbariki]

おいしそう！

[@johntwofeathers9254]

Lovin' the vids!

[@ugsisr]

Have you ever canned the meat? I have done that for many years.... Stays all year in a cool dark place

[@TheWildNorth]

+ugsisr I haven't but I do have a pressure cooker was gonna jar rabbits and grouse

[@ugsisr]

TheWildNorth You would be pleased.. Its easy and a safe, bacteria free way to keep the cooking meats... Just crack open a jar and cook er up..

[@lizzy2236]

[@TheWildNorth]

@mushercdn the wolf was following a beaver i heard the beaver flap his tail thats how i seen the wolf the rivers edge is a natural HIGHWAY for all kinds of animals it wasent the first time i seen a wolf across from my cabin

[@bruceschmitz1984]

Until. Egg floats

[@MegaGhostkeeper]

[@metalwing750]

Neither its smoked man

[@MegaGhostkeeper]

+Tinger23 looks pretty good non the less

[@pwrplnt1975]

What I wouldn't do for a ziplock bag full of that smoked meat!! Old Charlie has it made as far as bones are concerned!! He eats better than somme humans! I wonder what bone marrow tastes like? I've never heard of marrow on toast...lol!!

[@snakemast66]

ah much more sense.

[@neorevivalist]

Back Eddy's should endorse you!! I'd like to get some.

[@dinokross3844]

James Park - are you Native as well?

[@Erated78]

[@babyeyleia886]

Wheres charlie

[@bruceschmitz1984]

[@woodcookstove1]

Sorry, I could be way of base. Junk beef bought today was $2.99 for 1.5 oz ! All I know is you are eating food of the elite God bless, by.

[@ugsisr]

How did you keep that moose meat so long without smoking it?

[@TheLionhater]
