In this video filmed last April, I head out into the local backcountry and solo camp on a river island. After a long walk into the area, I ditched my snowshoes along the river bank and made my way across to the island checking the ice thickness as I went. Having luckily made it back to land without falling through, I set up camp with my Dutch surplus pup tent and a fire-pit, and just as I finished, the strong wind blew in a light snowstorm that blanketed the area. Once the snow slowed, I built a fire using a shaving pile with my ferro-rod, and after threw together a quick ice fishing rod using a poplar tree sapling, hook, and weights. I made my way down to the river (this time taking a safer route off the island), and used my double bit axe to chip away at the ice cutting a foot and a half square hole to fish through. I fished for a few hours using worms as bait, and to my surprise, I didn't get a single bite. Since the sun was beginning to set, I headed back to camp and went to sleep for the night hungry. The next morning, I made a quick pot of coffee, and headed back out to the fishing hole. After cutting it back open, I spent another few hours fishing, and finally caught a small rainbow trout. I butterflied it open, seasoned it with my homemade spice blend, and cooked it on the grill over the fire. Seeing that another snowstorm was coming, I quickly broke down camp, put out my fire, and headed out just as the storm came through.
Enjoy the new video and keep an eye out for more content coming soon.
