Day Hike In A Canadian Forest - Econo Challenge

nice accept the end you found some wood all ready chard for your fire kit or some good cut out and char better

Thank you for sharing, it was beautiful. AND a great wake-up at the end. Saying "Here's what they did with their part of it." might put a different perspective out there... for the beauty of wilderness, other than just hunting for game to bring home. Our family enjoys your vids. Thanks for taking the time to film so many.

I think I won't want those hunters as my neighbors. Beautiful walk. Thanks for taking us along. PS Here in the states we call that hillbilly behavior.

Your love of the wilds is evident in every bit of this video -- even in the disgust at the mistreatment of the land at the end. A bit like a punch in the gut, but love sometimes requires us to feel outrage. Well done. But hey, send Shug a *fresh* Coffee Crisp, huh?

Thanks for kicking over that inukshuk, I don't get what it is with people and building those things. You can't go 5 meters without tripping over one these days. They're just graffiti as far as I'm concerned.

Hillbilly Graffiti for sure. Looks like my neighbors yard and there is no shame !

As I watched all your descriptions of the various plants I realized it's a good way for me to learn some of them. I could record them when in the field and identify them later at home. That's what I just did with my last outing when I found that American Beautyberry bush. Now I'll know what that is next time I see one. Too bad we don't all have the same appreciation for the beauty of our lands.

I would destroy that place. It constitutes an alien residue of the world's most destructive invasive species (H. sapiens). Destroy it!

a beautiful clip. great music...very entertaining... i will refrain from commenting on the last part...

That is a very interesting idea. Next time I find out I am going to collect a little and give it a try with the fire steel.

You are welcome. I really enjoy getting out and shooting video in the wilderness. Thank you for watching!

I was hoping to see a few shug fans. Cool you picked up on that. It looked like someone had a sweet tooth. We found a few empty wrappers also.

I agree. I was going to edit that out but was curious if I was the only one that is getting sick of seeing them everywhere!

The beer is in the belly and the pucks on the ice eh! Rock on brother!

I don't think anyone at this camp would ever expect anyone to stumble onto it and see any of the crap we saw. Your neighbours are another story.

Exactly what I was thinking. I will say it is very difficult to ID mushrooms unless you pick a few so you can shoot the underside and stem. For other plants and trees the idea of shooting video and then IDing when you get home has been great fun. The Incense Cedar Fungus was an exception. We could not find anything on that one.

I think we are more like a virus. We are going to consuming everything until there is nothing left.

Love the sarcasm, keep it coming ;) We found all the crap you described in and around the camp grounds. We will have more on that soon.

It makes me angry also ... so I decided to take some action. More on that soon.

Great video Jeep! We have Lots of water ways in northern Idaho that are littered with million dollar homes and no trespass signs . The old camp spots of my youth gone to vacationers that occupy the house for a few weeks in the summer. So sad!

In Europe they have "Right to Roam" laws that allow you to use private property under certain conditions. Do you think we could get something like that going here in North America? Google it.

great vid thanks.

Very beautiful! I saw a "trail animal" in the video:o) Thank you for sharing Jeep. All the best, Rob

They are like wilderness graffiti. You will pass dozens and dozens of them on any one trip. I don`t think the builders have a clue about the purpose of an inuksuk. First of all we are far far from the Arctic at this location.

Thanks for coming along with us.

Thanks

Very nice music! Those fire-hardened stumps will last a century. They make excellent fire wood and contain fatwood, but glad you left them intact. Don't use them unless absolutely necessary, since they are fire making insurance stored on the stump for generations! That hunt camp with cinder block foundation is likely a “legal” land use permit. Can be checked at local MNR office to see if its been inspected, and conditions enforced.

Thank you for the support! Very much appreciated.

Thank you for the tip. We have been busy with a different project to help the camping area. Next we will be spending the fall getting to know the local MNR representatives and learning more about what can be done. The property in the video does not show as private land in the Crown Land Policy Use Atlas. But that does not mean much.

The CLUPA is known for errors, so you can't go by it for certainty. They improve the accuracy of the data bit by bit, but its a huge data base maintenance challenge. LUP's are issued for Crown Land, so if that hunt camp is there because of an LUP then it will show as Crown Land on the CLUPA map and is invisible. I don't know the databases well enough to know if you can look up where LUP's are? The LIO warehouse is the public domain geographic data, so you could ask if its findable in there?

Lucky man..., is there anything you long for in these woods?

LOL!

A woman that enjoys being in the woods!!

great vid, just wondering why the stone sculpture was kicked over? To help keep the place frree of traces from man?

Nice video. hope we never come to the day when a video will substitute for actual wildness. In Texas we have places labeled "urban wilderness" which are not actually wilderness.... but that's we we have. ken

I fear we will reach that place. More and more land is going private. No trespass signs are becoming the norm. Provincial parks, nature preserves and conservation areas are scooping up the rest and charging fees to enjoy. The free wilderness is disappearing fast.

I think I would have ate that coffee Crisp. :) I really enjoyed this video Jeep, hopefully others will be able to continue to enjoy the resource first hand. Thanks for sharing!

I think you and I need to see as much of it as we can first hand. I am just saying the future does not look bright for wild spaces.

No, it doesn't. :(

Hey, you touched the touch-me-not! Also, that bittersweet looked a lot like deadly nightshade. Glad to see you guys out and about. Would love to get out there with you guys some day. Such a shame about the littering.

The littering is really starting to get to me. So much that I am finding it difficult to stay positive when I go hiking.

Go deeper into the woods. Less people. They won't change.

Very wrong indeed, thanks for sharing.
