  Get a lot of questions and some think I&apos;m lying about the temperature (no, I never have). &nbsp;If the title says -30, it should go without saying that that&apos;s the LOW for the trip...the temp fluctuates, of course. <br>So I made a video for the top 11 FAQs I get about winter camping: <br><b>1) If it&apos;s so cold, why can&apos;t you see your breath?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=14">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=14 </a><br><b>2) If it&apos;s so cold, why is there slush on the lake?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=31">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=31 </a><br><b>3) Why aren&apos;t you melting snow for water?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=51">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=51 </a><br><b>4) What is the temp inside the tent?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=102">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=102 </a><br><b>5) Why winter camp at all?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=155">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=155 </a><br><b>6) Why aren&apos;t you wearing snowshoes?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=191">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=191 </a><br><b>7) How do you poop when it&apos;s that cold?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=219">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=219 </a><br><b>8) Aren&apos;t you worried about carbon monoxide from the stove?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=283">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=283 </a><br><b>9) Aren&apos;t you afraid of animals attacking you? &nbsp;Where&apos;s your gun?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=318">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=318 </a><br><b>10) How you you power your devices?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=396">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=396 </a><br><b>11) Why don&apos;t you use a floor?</b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_nrGUte8dM&amp;t=439">https://youtu.be/a_nrGUte8dM?t=439 </a><br>Hope it helps clear some things up.

  Bro I&apos;ve been ice fishing my entire life and always took every precaution possible, until last winter I was off grid with snowmobiles at a lodge and went to get firewood down the lake because there wasn&apos;t much good jack pine close to camp. My buddy who was with me at the time didn&apos;t have a float suit and I did, he ended up going through an otters breathing hole it was late January as well, I turned around and he was neck deep and his legs were entangled in roots and sticks from the bank... Anyway lets just say he was lucky my adrenaline was through the roof because he weighed nearly 100lbs more than me not including the water soaking in his clothing, somehow I managed to yank him out without going in myself... Cheers stay safe :)

  Filleting a trout with ice auger is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😆 Good thing you had that auger multi-tool 2.0!

  Hey Jon, <br>I just feel like I owe you a thank you. I have been stuck in my apartment quite a lot lately due to health issues. But what I am craving is nature. I recently discovered your channel and have spent many hours watching you and Erin&apos;s adventures. The videos have brought me a lot of peace. Take care. Many thanks from NYC.

  &quot;Got to be careful on these (auger) blades. A slip could cut my hand pretty badly.&quot; That&apos;s why a good knife is the MOST important piece of gear you can have. I&apos;ve never known anyone who didn&apos;t carry a knife. And to say &quot;well, I&apos;ve never needed one&quot; is like saying &quot;well, I&apos;ve never needed an airbag or seatbelts&quot;.

  Your editing was top game here, no lame slow zooms, generic background tones, just dogma five documentary style, very cool to watch
