This is a Wednesday Video.

Hey guys, this is a Wednesday video. For lack of a better title, that's probably what I'm going to title it as well. And, so that I don't continue to look in the viewfinder, I'm going to do this. There we go. One-on-one. So, I thought I would just go through a few things. A little update video, a little explaining video. Some of you guys were a little offended, unbeknownst to me, about that Walmart video. I think that, reading through the comments, some of you thought that I was putting down people who would use Walmart gear and if you thought that you couldn't be further from the truth and I if you watch the full video then it would be completely clear to you I was raving about some of the pieces of gear and I was also explaining that that's how I started you know what I mean I don't think anything of less of people who want to use Walmart gear why would I care so lots of people have different opinions lots of people have different ways of interpreting things I'm just here to tell you that if you were offended by that I'm sorry I didn't was not my intention at all and maybe just actually listen to the real message that's what I would say it might look a little bit different my Wednesday videos are normally me and the wife downstairs on the couch the thing about that is right now we have a renovator in doing some renovations they've been here for a good week and people who lived in this house before I did was my cousin because my my grandma's owned this house her whole life or until she passed away she sold it off to my uncle and my cousin lived here and now I own it now I bought it and I own it. But before I bought it and owned it, or before I even moved in, my cousin lived here. That was about seven years ago. And they had changed this house from a three bedroom into a two bedroom. So there's two bedrooms upstairs here, which I'm in one right now, my bedroom. Emeralds is across the way. Tiny little hall. This is an old wartime house, a 40s house. So they turned the big main bedroom into a bathroom on the main floor, which was very silly. It's huge and there's no reason for it. And it devalues the house. And it takes away a bedroom. So we've been spending money and time and energy on hiring people and doing things ourselves, but to get everything turned back just the way it was, you know what I mean? For the big bedroom on the main floor to turn, sorry, bathroom to turn back into a bedroom, for the laundry room that they turned from the bathroom into the laundry room to back to the bathroom, and the laundry room back down in the basement like it was originally. Lots of things have changed. The house is falling apart, so lots of different things have been needed to upkeep in the plumbing and all that stuff, so that's where we are there, that's why I'm upstairs talking to you, because the dude is downstairs making a ton of noise, so can't be down there talking to you guys, I got a few packages, I thought I'd open them on camera here, I got one from a gentleman called, named, or his call sign is Soul of Siberia, not sure of his full name or his real name, I was never told it, but it's a pretty cool gift, okay, soul of Siberia box look at the writing on here I'm not going to show you his address or anything like that but like you can tell that's some kind of Russian writing right there Siberian Siberian writing all right let's get my little knifey open this bad boy up sign look at this oh dude that is so cool he uses birch I believe I talked to him about it I believe he uses birch This has obviously died, but look at this cooks up man.

Joe Robin to mr. Joe Robin let's open this one up big ol letter okay I'm not gonna read all this but thank you Fred and James Fred and James thank you very much appreciate it this is about health issues that I've been having they seem to have a lot of information in there I'm going to read it for sure thank you very much I appreciate that guys so this Friday there will be another camping trip video for you guys two-nighter so that's gonna be pretty cool excited for you guys to see that one my god I've been hinting at hinting at some stuff lately about like a wilderness living trip I am gonna be doing that I'm going to be doing that in may up near woodland caribou where sean and i did our spring trip our fly-in our boreal forest fly-in spring trip i'm not going to be going into the park because i want to have more freedom i'm going to be simulating my alone experience it's not going to be the same at all but it's going to be rough guidelines for it i'm going to go for 10 days i'm going to go with 10 items now because I am restricted with things that I'm allowed to legally do, as opposed to on alone where we had permission from the band, the native band, to trap, spear, use a gill net, basically procure food any way we wanted. There were a couple restrictions of types of animals, but all that stuff was fair game. All that was techniques that we were allowed to use. I'm not allowed to do all those things. I'm not going to have a big budget company paying a native band for me to use their land. I'm doing this all on my own dime. Because of this, I won't be able to bring a gill net. And in place of the gill net, I'm going to bring a canoe. I'm going to bring a small canoe. I'm still going to stationary camp. I want to pick one spot. Once I get on a lake, I'm going to be dropped off on a lake, either by boat or by plane. I want to pick a spot on that lake and try and set up. Spend a couple days there, see if that's the spot I want to be, where if there's enough food sources around, if there's enough building materials, all that stuff, if it's a good location for wind, sun. If I'm happy with that, I'm going to stay there. If not, I might go one lake over. This is not going to be a canoe trip. This is not going to be an endurance thing. This is not going to be a canoe tripping thing that you guys have seen from me in the past many times. This will be a wilderness living challenge. I'm not bringing food. I'm bringing rations. I will be living off of fish, my rations, and frogs, and things like that if I can find them again because of the reasons I've told you before about freedom and legalities and things like that I will be bringing a fishing rod and I will be bringing five lures so I'm going to count that all as one item fishing rod that all the reel that's on my oh sorry all the line that's on my reel and then five lures that is one item okay that's one item a canoe is one item axe knife tarp rations will be one item and my rations will be rice granola and jerky i will bring a first aid kit that does not qualify for my 10 items and um yeah it's gonna be pretty pretty cool man i'm i'm excited i'm not gonna bring any booze or anything like that this is just gonna be a complete like find yourself wilderness living thing no contact maybe maybe be fed the whole time maybe not I will bring a journal I need to do this I really do I did apply for a loan multiple seasons after and they they didn't pick me ever so it seems like they're not going to even though that was something that we had talked about in the beginning I understand they're just telling me things but that's fine so I'm gonna do this on my own and it will be a little bit different but I need to do this I need to go do have have this like alone time and i believe i'm going to present it to you as a series probably six parts probably an hour each maybe two or three times a week uploaded until it's done two or three weeks it's a big undertaking and i'm excited to go do it i have not done anything like this in a long time so pretty pumped pretty pumped for it i'm gonna fly out there i'm gonna spend a couple days uh just getting ready and i'm gonna head out for 10 days solo i'm excited i'm very excited for it I've been watching all sorts of things online, just trying to get pumped up, trying to get ideas and things like that. I watched Lily's Canadian Experience. I watched Buddy Clint's stuff. I watched this guy, NL Explorer, Justin Barber. NL, Newfoundland Explorer. That dude is legit, man. Go check that guy out. Justin Barber, I believe is his name. If I'm wrong, I'll put it in the description again. Also, NL Explorer, Newfoundland Explorer. It's the same person. That guy, man. a real cool dude and does some legit stuff makes me look like a little lots of inspiration so i'll be doing a couple um preparation videos for that trip just kind of showing you my gear what i'm bringing talking about what i plan on doing the kind of shelter i plan on building and all of that can change the kind of shelter i'm building can change when i'm out there who knows but these will be my thoughts beforehand my concerns going into it my worries my excitements everything i really want to present this to you as real as i can and who knows maybe i can pitch it to netflix after if I do a good enough job editing it. I'd really like to do that. So something to look forward to. So something to look forward to. I better stop talking now because that sound downstairs is annoying me and it's probably annoying you guys. Thank you for listening to me talk. Please remember I'm not trying to offend anyone with anything I'm doing. I like you. I love all of you. I'm very happy that I have you as an audience. I will try to be better.
