Lakes there still have a lot of open water so the ice is not safe to go on. Hopefully in January I can do some ice fishing up there. The trip was amazing with a hot tent which kept me nice and warm. Hope you enjoy the video. [YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/oailRFCOu-Y[/YOUTUBE] https://youtu.be/oailRFCOu-Y

Enjoyed the time lapse of the moon cruising across the sky. 40 years ago I liked fishing Baptiste lake and Elephant lake, not too far from where you were. It's good you didn't pick this weekend to go out. Stay safe out there.

Good job.

Thank you! I've got to a point where the gear I have keeps me nice and warm out there. Lots of things to carry though. When I get older, I will need to hire a horse.

Thanks! Winter camping is very similar to ice fishing except it gets really cold at night. I would also freeze if it wasn't for the stove.
