And then on Saturday, Saturday morning, I drove to Kevin Callen's house. If you guys don't know who Kevin Callen is, he is an author. He's a big time canoe guy, speaker, teacher. He's a good guy. He has a YouTube channel called KCH Happy Camper so I'll link that here if you guys haven't heard of him you should definitely check him out he's a good guy like I said pretty funny character so yeah I'm sure you'll like it we met up and we went out to the Kawartha Highlands for some winter camping so I have a video of that I'm not sure what will be posted first it might be this video it might be the trip video that I'm on right now it might be that video so basically this is my second night out like I'm saying so I spent that night out with those guys and went it went well and um it was good to meet them all then i went back to my buddy's house spent the night there and i came out this morning just another fireside chat nothing going on really i know you guys like to hear these like these informal little uh little videos and i like to do it just talk to you or whatever so the um the temperature is tonight is supposed to get down to negative 15 plus the windchill so i have a negative 10 down sleeping bag in my natural shelter over there And I have a wool blanket inside of it So it's a 7 hour drive up here Some of you know that, I've said that before And I wanted to get a few videos out So I'm going to make this as a separate video Obviously, so I'll have about 3 videos Coming out to make it worth it, you know what I mean It's a big commitment coming out here for this long I have to get a babysitter, I have to drive here Spend gas money, all that stuff So, all to make videos But I like doing it And I'm glad to do it Tonight will be my 6th night out of the year It's February 29th So that's not so bad.
