Been out of the shop tending to the trapline and improving the homestead as it thaws out of late. Here are a few pics. Full videos on YouTube.
@lesterriverbushcraft sent me something. Full video is up on YouTube now.

I dug out some of the footage. Here is one of the four cats. All were this size and had brown eyes which indicates they are over a year old. Around the 52 second mark it starts pawing at the deer look at the size of the shoulders! Absolute killing machines!

New issue of @recoiloffgridmagazine hitting the snow next week. In this issue’s “What If” @patrickd.survival and I share more advice for surviving a deep freeze. The whole issue is a wealth of information on cold weather survival.
So much of my day is spent keeping the fire going but I never film any of it. Here is some footage of me breaking down firewood with my trusty @roselli_est_1976 axe.
I started attending @sdi_school about 2 months ago. A lot of my assignment require videos. I post these to @youtube so other people can get a look at what the program is like. If you are interested check the link in bio. If you have questions, hit me up.
Turn your sound up. This particular lake has a bottom fed spring out in the middle. The ice is only about an inch thick over the whole@but pressure builds up below it. By poking a hole water floods on top of the thin ice and usually the added weight makes a massive crack open up. Wait til the end and you’ll hear it. I don’t recommend other people do this but it can be quite entertaining.
