Hello friends. Here's a video of my latest camping adventure where I spent a night in a remote property. I made a bushcraft shelter out of snow using only an axe, handsaw and a shovel. The snow supported shelter held up well during my stay. I also cooked a wilderness version of a popular South Asian dish. The temperature went from -25 to just around the freezing mark within a span of 24 hours. Overall, it was a great trip. Hope you like the video.

Another great video! Great job on the shelter, I know it must have been a bit of tough work but very rewarding. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Icemanjay! I was looking forward to building a shelter like this for a while but just didn't have enough snow on the ground. Finally got the chance last week. Yes, it was a lot of work as the snow was fluffy due to extreme cold weather. But, it was totally worth it

Thanks, Arnie. I didn't camp in that location before however, I passed through this place during another excursion. So, yes, you might've seen the footage in another video

I get hungry watching your videos. Tonight I will be eating two different kinds of chicken wings and pizza while I watch the Super Bowl. Watch out for bears next time you go out. They will be waking up sooner this spring, and might have young ones as well. Stay safe.

Thanks crapeeeman! Enjoy your pizza and wings . Yes, this is the time of the year I start to feel nervous about staying in the wild. Gotta check my bear spray and keep the camp nice and clean.
