foreign hi everybody Sierra and I are getting the homestead buttoned up this morning because we're going to be gone for a week we're gonna go spend a week in The Boundary Waters so it's our first Boundary Waters trip of the year my dad's gonna watch the chickens while we're gone and also the cats we're leaving the kitty here so it's just going to be Sierra Skeeter and I and yeah we're just gonna head out into the woods and spend a week out there are you ready to go Skeeter you excited buddy he likes camping don't you he loves it [Music] all right we're gonna stop in at the ranger station here and get our permit and go get some groceries and we're gonna head to the campground for the night [Music] well we're gonna head into the tent for the night and head into the Boundary Waters first thing in the morning after some coffee all right well here we go we're heading in we got about a little less than a half a mile Portage to get to the first Lake but we're gonna get going because the black flies are absolutely horrible right now all right so I'm about done with this first Portage here I see the lake right here and I'll run back we have one more pack back there and Sierra should be pretty close behind me and here we are little Gabriel awake here set it right there and then I'll carry it the rest of the way you're not gonna do it there's some wolf poop on the trail well we're on the lake little Gabriel here we're heading to our second Portage we're gonna Portage to the Toy Story River and some pretty nice campsites there hopefully they're not taken but that's where we'd like to Camp if not we'll have to backtrack or continue on up the river there's more sites up ahead but all right Port is number two into the river heading that way let's put in where those uh right into the Cedars you mean yes oh the Chipmunk s a good omen holy bud oh as popular as an entry point as this is I'm pretty surprised that we're having like every campsite's been open that we've gone by literally pretty awesome campsite here Sierra's fishing we have some Rapids right here temp pad here is where we're gonna pitch our tent right above the water pretty sweet spot we'll be able to hear the Rapids when we're laying in the tent which is going to make me sleep like a baby pretty excited this is a really nice sight and what's nice is this is on a river so you can make a loop you can go that way this way that way we'll probably head that way tomorrow there's a lake we want to check out we're seeing a day trip to it and maybe fish it but we're gonna hang out around camp for a while get some food chill throw a few casts from Shore I gotta believe with this moving water it's got to be pretty good fishing here but anyways yeah we're just gonna chill but this is going to be our home for the next few nights I'm gonna get other chairs yes please thank you sandal thank you fishing tackle air horn camera gear fire starters spot wipe water filter chair literature and I think that's all we need for right now well that's done absolutely killer View I don't know if the camera picks it up but you know the sound of the rapid is just gonna be awesome falling asleep to that tonight went on fam so we got a fire going we're getting ready to grill some steaks we were gonna have the steaks for dinner but decided to have them for lunch instead because we're pretty hungry so this afternoon we've kind of just been hanging out around camp we kind of had a lazy day we were going to go out in the canoe but it was a little bit windy earlier and now we're just enjoying a campfire and enjoying the evening so I don't think we're going to go out tonight maybe later I don't know well we're done with dinner the pizzas were good I think we're gonna have a s'more later once it gets dark but we're gonna throw a few calves from Shore we have been fishing from Shore around here we haven't had any luck yet but Sierra's seeing a couple of fish jump so we'll see if the evening bites any good around here tomorrow we'll do a lot more fishing we'll probably we'll fish all day probably take the canoe out fish a few different spots and see if we have any luck thank you it's pretty good foreign good morning Sierra and I are cooking up a feast um we're gonna travel over to Gabriel Lake today and do some fishing so we're having a big breakfast pancakes bacon and eggs um and then we're gonna get on our way [Music] so here's where we're at we came in on little gabbro entry point 33 so we have this ported then we came down here did this Portage into the river and then we are camped at this campsite right here today we're gonna head back this way do this Portage again and then fish in here and Fish gabbro Lake so this is where we're gonna kind of spend the day fishing but this is kind of a relaxing trip last year we did all of our trips were like go go you know we would set up camp pack up in the morning like we were never at a campsite longer than a night it seemed like so like we were always on the go and so this time we just kind of wanted to chill base camp we're not really trying to put on Miles we're just kind of hang and but there's plenty to do good fishing in this area little Pike it's too small to eat too we'll throw him back the black lives have started to come out they're not terrible in the parking lot they were bad it was really discouraging we were putting in so they haven't been too bad Sierra's got to fish on does it feel like a Northern or walleye oh that was a trout dude no it wasn't well we're back from Little gabro the fishing wasn't any better over there so we decided to head back to the river here where our campsite is we caught a couple little Northerns that's it so like I said it wasn't really worth or it wasn't any different over there so we'll just stay stay put and fish closer to Camp I think tonight and then tomorrow maybe go try a different spot foreign was really slow today all we caught were a few really small Pike we probably could have kept one or two of them but they were pretty small but yeah the fishing's been really slow so we're gonna have to go with plan B for dinner tonight well here's Plan B with some rice and some pizza sandwiches it'll do the job I guess well good morning we're getting some breakfast going here our second batch of coffee as well we're gonna go and try to catch some fish here right after breakfast um yeah I didn't have much luck yesterday just a few small Northerns like I said what's frustrating is that we're seeing fish jump all around Camp here and we've been fishing from Shore a lot but we haven't been able to rope into any um but yeah we're gonna head out this afternoon maybe with that rain coming something will change we will see how's yours pretty good I like oatmeal I do too actually well breakfast is all wrapped up the dishes are done we're sitting enjoying another cup of coffee before we head out um like I said it's gonna rain this afternoon so I'm gonna get a tarp strung up and we're gonna make sure everything's put away that way if it starts pouring while we're out in a boat nothing's getting wet I think he enjoyed the cool off all right well we are departing camp I'm gonna try to catch some fish it's been kind of discouraging so far this trip so we're hoping that you know today's a different day we just want to be able to catch dinner but I don't know if we're just not finding them or if it's too cold or I just uh yeah that's what I said earlier in the video that we've been it's really discouraging because we're seeing them jump and we're throwing everything that we have Adam yeah right where they're jumping and nothing's taking them so so we were trolling across the river here I was paddling Sierra's trolling and uh she roped into a pretty nice eater Northern so we do have some meat for tonight and it's still early so I'm fairly optimistic that will at least we're up into another one of these and that'll be plenty for us for for a meal tonight yeah we're gonna throw it back yeah all right well we're leaving the river gonna take the Portage over to Clear Lake try the fishing over there here is Clear Lake let's head out there and catch some fish that's a keeper yeah it is let's go swallowed it too we need another one well we're eating fish tonight we have three on the Stringer right now so we're gonna try to get one more if we can get one more we'll have a feast we'll have no problem eating it that's for sure these aren't very big Northerns they're okay eating size but a fourth one would be nice for sure well I think Sierra and I are gonna head back to Camp um the wind is starting to pick up I think that rain's coming pretty soon so we're just gonna kind of Lobby day take our time getting back there see if we can't rope into one more I guess Sierra's gonna be fishing I'll be paddling so I should catch some more fish than me but uh just kidding I'm excited to have a fish fry tonight the three that we have will be enough for sure but one more pretty optimistic now we just had a bunch of action right there it was like bang bang we each caught a couple eaters Sierra caught another little one so we stayed there and fish for another 10-15 minutes and didn't have any luck so we're moving on and heading back to camp now because we got to clean these Fish Gotta Get a fire going to cook these hopefully before the rain gets here well we're back at Camp I'm gonna go grab the filet knife and clean these fish worst case scenario if it starts raining we can always cook on the little gas burner I have but it's way better having fresh caught fish over an open campfire all right I'm quite a ways away from Camp I'm gonna get these cleaned up on this nice rock wedge pretty nice view Sierra's got potatoes and onions going on the Fire it is foreign oh two all right that really is enough fish though mostly yeah and there were like small eaters they weren't you know well we're starting to feel raindrops so Sierra's cooking up some s'mores quick then we're probably gonna have to go run get underneath the tarp here pretty soon good morning it's our last day we're doing our coffee inside the tent this morning because it's pretty cold really windy outside so that fire pit is out on a point and it's been really windy the whole time so waking up this morning we both went out and had our pee and we're like you know let's just have coffee inside the tent so we're making a quick batch here we're gonna enjoy it and then start packing up and heading out of here all right we're just about all packed up getting ready to head out here this is a pretty nice campsite definitely well used but pretty good views all around and we are headed out left a little wood for the next folks I always kind of appreciate that ready let's see if this weight distribution is any better like front heavy or not I mean not bad but oh okay I guess right and then plus now with that up there it's with the bag up front and me and the barrel it kind of helps it [Applause] well we're back on little gabbro so we used to have one more report well one more paddle and then that last Portage back to the vehicle and I think we're gonna splurge and get some cheeseburgers in town and some malts because you kind of start you kind of start craving that stuff after a while out here that's good and that's it well that's Portage before the truck and just like that we are back on the homestead let's go check those chickens grass grew a lot since we were gone the kitty missed us he's probably ready to run around outside she is she's probably mad at us holy cow you guys grew [Music] the chickens well all is well on the homestead everything looks good all the animals are accounted for only thing was our shepherd's hook was on the ground and some of our bird feeders are smashed so we know what that means so we checked the trail camera here and here's what we saw well I got the generator going right now topping off the batteries from us being gone I heated up some rain water on the stove so I'm gonna have a much needed shower during the summer time I normally just take this blue Coleman jug throw it up on a ladder and have a nice outdoor shower [Music] so last night after my shower I had Sierra give me my summer haircut got rid of the stash shaved my head now I look like a little boy again well I appreciate you guys watching this video um we have more of those coming up so a little more extreme ones later on and then a pretty cool lengthy one in the fall so stay tuned for those other than that we're just gonna keep plugging away around here on the homestead we did get this gutter hung up on the front porch roof yesterday and then we planted some strawberry plants in front of the porch here we also started some of our pails and then we're gonna get the rest of our garden planted back here after that bulldozer comes so stay tuned folks I appreciate you guys watching and I'll see you soon
