Loved it - just found you tonight! Great camping and easy, informative, enjoyable video. I watch Joe and plan to check out Shawn. You remind me of my nephew. You do a nice job just showing us every day activity. Really enjoyed the views and the snow. I've watched Algonquin summer videos with Joe and his friend "Burley outdoors" - sorry - can't remember his first name - but he also does awesome, very informative videos! Thank you for sharing - really enjoyed! Plan to check out the rest of your stuff!

Started a thanksgiving tradition with my daughter last year, we winter camp in the Adirondacks and cook over campfire all meals. Great bonding and memories. They just got 12 inches of snow last night so should be interesting. Good times

I have done the AGT trail and the JMT trail and I will never forget them, You go young man, U will never forget your experience. Wish that I had the equipment that U have now. I am not bitching. The stuf U all have now is amazing, Your old friend, Jim

I don't think there would be anything better than spending Christmas exactly where you were - that's as close to heaven as you can get my friend. Well done, thanks for the video and for what I learn watching.

I want to try myself in winter camping like you did. Some day I will do it. Respect from Poland.

My 5 year old daughter, who's absolutely in love with sleeping in our tent, and I just got back from three days in a local state park. Your Jameson in the Nalgene bottle idea is what got me through the one My Little Pony's video I promised her each night on the iPad. Cheers, Mate. Great video.

Great vid, I've been winter camping since I was in Air Cadets, as a young boy, one thing I can say, about a winter fire is keep the sticks and logs longer, no need to cut up, just mix into the fire, keeping them tightly woven, and you will have a much warmer fire, and much less work for you as well. When temperatures get lower, just sleep in the warmer parts of the day, and stay up during the colder part of the evenings, and keep busy, gathering wood, working etc. Better sleep, and you stay warmer through the cold nights. Congrats on your first winter camp, looked like you ate very well, and enjoyed, which is what it is all about. Cheers!

Great time! thank you for having us along. Looking forward to the PCT ...cheers

One thing that really comes through: your complete comfort with your set up. Yet so humble. Who needs a plate, eh. Nice work sir. That "two burner" steak and potato fire is nice.

Now that's how you camp !! Greetings from Tennessee. Looking forward to many more adventures. Subbed

good work, nice to see you stick it out that long in the cold.

Your videos make me happy.

You should set that foil wrapped potato in the coals it would cook faster!!! Looks like you had a great time over the holidays there!!! Like heaven on Earth 👍😃🙏☮️

The tarp was definitely a lifesaver for you. Having the extra cover during the rain was very important, and also keeping the firewood dry. Good job, and happy new year.

Really inspirational video. Thank you. looking forward to getting out in a couple of weeks 😆

I can stand any weather but constant rain. Neat skill to keep that fire going in that. Nice to watch this, thanks so much.

Awesome video, Cornelius. I enjoyed every minute. You mentioned Temagami. It's a great area to explore and I think you would be amazed. My preference is hiking and camping in the summertime but winter is great as well. If you could get someone to go with you in the summer, a great trip would be a canoe trip up lake Temagami, portage, canoe and camp over a few lakes ending at lady Evelyn lake. Takes about a week. Enjoy the wildlife, excellent fishing and beautiful scenery.

Rain or no rain, when the hot chocolate runs out, it's time to go home. Glad the first few days were so good.

This was beautifully done. Nice job camping, nice job filming. Appreciated your skills, including the cooking. Best of luck on the coming treks. Nice.

I enjoyed this video very much. it was definitely different and had a certain serenity to it. Great camping skills !

Excellent video!! Love the A park

Great video. I'm inspired to take my first winter camping trip. Keep the videos coming.

I just watched your Kayaking Algonquin series yesterday, watched about 4 or 5 more decided to subscribe. Love your vids Thanks for sharing! I am dying to get back there this May!

Enjoyed the video. And I want to thank you for the glimpse into the future. It is reassuring to know that in the year 2106 we haven't yet blown ourselves up. ;-}

Very well done, got me interested right form the start.. Thanks Jim

I really like this trip of yours and often thought of doing this myself but health reasons prevent that but one this strikes me is your cooking skills and choice of really good food on this trip. most I see live on Ramen noodles or dried Mountain meals which add water.

I'm a new subscriber!I really enjoyed your time in the woods !Your a fantastic camp cook. Maybe you should do a camping cook book.

Merry belated Christmas and happy belated new year. Another great video as always

enjoyed the video buddy! I've been learning a lot from Joe lately as well, maybe a fire reflector a little closer to your tarp and could have kept that gear dry...maybe? maybe even set your tarp up as a day shelter and tent set up separate a little ways? I just built and tested a home built pulk sled, it pulls like a dream. wouldn't even notice your hundred pound sack :)

It's Jan 2018 hopefully all went to plan .All the best for the future your friends from the UK

Superb Christmas Dinner! It looked delicious and that potato was huge! This is my first time watching any of your videos and this one was very enjoyable. I have subscribed to your sage and I will get the bell rang so that I will be informed when your next video pops up. You seem like an interesting, clean-cut young man. I wish you well in all your future ventures and I hope to follow them for quite some time to come. I am not a young man anymore and life has taught me that in order for you to continue to have your exciting adventures you must remain healthy. Stay in shape, keep a positive attitude toward yourself and life

I hope my first time Winter Camping is as enjoyable as yours was!

Great video I really enjoyed it! I live in Florida and this wilderness looks great.

Great job on the video! Very entertaining!

Nice man ,if only we had some parts of nature here in Belgium .your never alone here "Sade" and all is concrete! Enjoy jour tripe in April , Greetings Huggi bear .

Really enjoyed the video and that great food. Subscribed, have a great new year.

Congratulations, man talk about living the dream!! Great video work, great editing. Your well spoken so was fun to listen to you. Thank you for sharing with us! Looking forward to more videos from you. Bibsoutdoors

You eat better camping than I do at home in Florida! Great video I subscribed to be able to watch more.

Good luck on the PCT.....I assume you will be changing up your gear to lighten the load....LOL!!!

AHA! was sitting here trying to think of who you remind me of so much...Lars Monsen! just a younger version of him lol. The guy is an absolute legend in my books!

You need my Swedish surplus rain gear-- kind of a Ku Klux Klan outfit in green -- and then you could hike around in anything.

Great video man! I really enjoyed it!

Nice video enjoyed your trip Almost wish we had snow here in winter to give it a try subed

Nice job, great video

Love your videos!!!!

I enjoyed your video, however, I cringe when I think about that heavy pack! I spent years hiking with heavy packs and even though I always tried to keep most of the weight on my hips rather than back and shoulders, eventually a disc ruptured in my back which led to surgery. I'm 53 years old now and no longer able to carry more than 15 or 20 lbs on my back due to a less than perfect disc in my lower back. I know it doesn't seem like it can happen to you but please don't abuse your back like I did.

Awesome vid! Thanks

Great job! I'm going to go winter camping for the first time this season myself. I picked up a few pointers from watching your video. Thanks for posting it. A question for you, what did you do with your food? Did you hang it in a tree or did you keep on the ground? I've asked a few people and I've heard from some that they keep their food sack in their tent in the winter time while others say they hang their food sack in a tree whenever they camp no matter what time of year.

Great videos! I'm on day 14 of your JMT videos. They're wonderful. I just ran into this one while watching your JMT. By the way I'm planning to do the PCT this April; maybe around the 20th. I don't have FB, but do you have web site? I live in Northern California and am a volunteer for the PCTA repairing trails. Happy New Year & happy trails & hope to see you on the trail.

So awesome! 😊

You made a common camping mistake-- not bringing enough beer. A quarter-barrel on skis is an option.

Great video Cornelius! Really inspired me to get up there for a few nights this winter. Steaks were mouth watering! I like the tarp tent combo idea for snow/sleet. What tent were you using? Looks good but I didn't recognize it.

that steak an potatoes must taste so good in a pitch dark totally quiet atmosphere 5 star resturants well never reach that luxury

Great video! Keep it up!

Hello and merry Christmas from New York you video was amazing it was like you brought us with you . This is the first video I saw of yours and it was great. Welcome to the bushcraft family keep up the fine work if you could share the equipment with us it would be a help to many of us that are interested thanks and Have a great new year in 2017

Awesome video, I'm thinking of winter camping for the first time in a week or two. When deciding where to set up camp do you just hike in and the blaze a path off the main trail? Your video made me hungry. Lol.

been there, same time of year, many times. it can be super cold. looks like he got great winter weather - a great place to winter camp. ... wait ... it is "Te_Ma_Ga_Mee" not "Temo_Gammi".... just trying to help. Happy trails, superman.

One thing you might want to bring next time is a small tarp to build a small shelter to sit and eat under next to your fire pit. Other than that great job for your first time out.

That pack looks so heavy. I dont get snow like this where i live but could you have used a small sled?

Nice job! I think I gained 20 lbs. watching this! ;-)

Did you stay at a designated camp site or off the trail?

Hi, Nice video. Greetz from Holland

Nice video. Enjoyed it alot! Wish I was there...Did you stay at a designated camp site, or off trail? Was it right beside Maple Leaf Lake?

Hey Mr , New sub .. Love Algonquin !!!! one of R treasure's in Ontario 4 Sure.. U mentioned U had made some mistakes & learned A lot on the trip ?? Would make a good follow up vid (just A thought ) Cheers :-)

I kind of thought you would leave early. I would have too. It was fun while it lasted. Sorry, you couldn't be with family over Christmas. I did enjoy the video, but it was a long one.

How did you stay warm in the tent? What did you do to keep clean without having a shower? Did you encounter any bears or animals after your food? I would thought they would be coming their since you were there for a week.

I would love to set a man up like you with my daughter lol. Awesome video's. I have so enjoyed watching many of them thus far.

wow big fire are you planning a deer roast?

Great vid.

Do you line your tent with anything at all? Me and the boys are about to head out on our first winter camping trip and im not 100% on what to do to keep a tent toasty

Super!

hey dude, not raggin on ya, I loved the video and watched the whole thing.. baked potato needs to be put right in the coals and they still take forever to cook. Eggs need to be kept intact, once cracked they only last 24 hours even if refrigerated. I personally keep my eggs stored inside my kettle with paper towel to line them. They also do not need refrigeration; in Europe they don't. I wish you could crack them all into a bottle though, that would save a lot of room packing my wilderness kit and food portions.

where did you get firewood? did you buy them from the park?

Guys the fire is purple ? 😳

Can you share why you sleep away from the fire?!

Thats a Hilliberg Tent - did you buy it in canada?

I Like your videos amigo

Amazing video. where abouts do you live? it takes me about 4 to 5 hours to get to Algonquin Park aswell.

Nice I like it. oh I recommend a camera upgrade though if possible

Which part of Algonquin Park did you stay?

what is your job where you can take off 100 some days for hiking

nice job.

Cold is fine, wet is okay, cold and wet is utter nonsense!😂

tip from grill wrap steak in tin foil for 10 minutes to let the juices settle n/c from a n x pembroke lad, great idea for eggs to travel

Your awesome bro

What gate

are you doing the PCT THIS YEAR

Do you ever worry about scurvy or starvation?

hey bud i am planning on doing the pct as well.do you have a FB page.hope to see yah on the PCT....PEACE

Where's your pulk?

Like this video btw :)

What was the tent used?

Sleds on sale at SAIL: www.sail.ca/en/pelican-snow-trek-60-avec-housse-458963 Sled makes winter camping much better. I got the smaller version but the 60 is a better size. My experience with it is limited to date as I have only used it to go about 2km on spring wet and crusty snow and it was ok. If going on a long trip I would recommend the a true toboggan from "Lure of the North" or Canadian Outdoor Equipment, preferably UHMW which resists cold better than "high density" accoring to LoTN.

you eat better in the woods than I do at home...

you really needed a pulk sled to haul your gear

You look like the young jack Nicholson

you must have a great job to afford to go on the long hike let me guess aecl

nice video great job. I subscribed. and wo I love like to have your support as well. keep up the good work my friend.

Eating a lot helps keep you warm. I think you already know that. I can't figure out why your tent is so far from your eating/etc area. There is the worry about sparks, but your tent is in the next county.

watch all that cholesterol sir. Good video .
