best definitely the most fun let's get on with our third reportage yeah we got one more for today we're going to fish on this lake for a little bit and get going he doesn't mind does he get some of the fish little perch I could see as a whole school of them here some big ones in there yeah fishing in these solo canoes makes it kind of topple we're gonna find them Jumbo's embolize Montee spent

waterproof case on but the snapper decided he wanted the perch and you're gonna get it buddy I just well he's got a big ol each other's back I got that that's a big leech all right hold on I had to cut this fish free you enjoy buddy have a good day huh well what'd you think about that Monty well now that he stole our one little fish I was gonna feed the Monty here we had to catch some more hey Monty so we're just the last half of our last porridge for the day I always carry the two boats my main bag of gear and our food and dog bag and funk always carries one bag and all the fishing poles and or so I always do a little extra work don't mind it like I like going through the Portage's in the different lakes so get this over with and set up camp and then do some swimming made to the last leg we already took off the dogs she's heading to a campsite way over there I stayed back and grab some nice firewood bunch of dry hardwood trees I'm gonna bring over the campsite and I'll process it and I can leave a pile of extra wood for whoever camps their next bus a beautiful little lake and as soon as the wind dies down a little bit we're into some fishing fishing in these solo canoes without an anchor is just you know you blow around like crazy so I have this issue where called the can't help the calf syndrome where I see a nice little spot it looks like there could be a fissure I

right in them it's two beautiful little brothers passed out a hard day's work it's so precious I can't help it stay a day oh there's nothing more refreshing than a nice dip after sweating all day Hayati waters like bathroom so normally I'd bring out our own dehydrated foods which is what I got right here some dehydrated spaghetti but I didn't have as many in the freezers I thought I did and funk lay claim to those so I just got some of these I've had these in my closet forever about a long time ago I use these when I don't have enough food just some mountain house freeze-dried food it's

camping mmm those eyes those eyes just like Earth's blue and green and then you got Monty's they're black like space hey Monty just do one last little inspection I always like to check over see if I left anything nothing nice clean campsite there's a big piece of birch bark and I put sitting over those logs I left so I stayed dry so I must have cut it buddy you ready to go Monty next spot all right go boy let's do it we should risk all meowing ice fishing come to Monty yeah he wishes it for me we don't get to choose the weather we only get to choose the days that we go out into it gotta love these steep stairs they're so fun the piggy in the mind that's what I am stay there mighty be a good boy chose not to stay and now he's all muddy you muddy wet gonna get like new all girls can't blame me I guess [Music] freedom now we need to go up over this Beaver Dam here to get to the next portage whoo last portage of the day's done now we're just on this handful lake that winds aren't too bad we're gonna go to the campsite here there's only one on this lake and post up then we're gonna do some swimmin cleanup take off our sweat and then fish and of course here's the spot for the day hey Mandy what do you think it's a beautiful spot I do a funk waters cold well it's cleansing stay there monkey all right we got camp set up a nice little spot Ruger's chillin chewing on some sticks I'm gonna join funk in a swim then I won't get some wood and I planned ahead there's two Portage's to the truck and I put a cooler with beer and ice in the truck so I'm gonna go probably portage and grab that won't bring some beers maybe that'll be tasty who's gonna come we set up the noah's tarp and we're just relaxing outside gonna maybe play some cards I'm gonna hold off on fishing for a while I don't feel like fishing in the rain right now hopefully it stops before make time so that I can go for some travel we'll see it'll be a little bit wet but we'll make do still make a fire [Applause] hi puppies Hooda jerk marina for a good hour yeah it's alright and it was supposed to rain for a majority of the day so we're just gonna go take a nap lay down for a while and then see if it lets up at all it's still raining it's six o'clock so I think if we wait just another 2 or 3 hours it might stop I just don't think it's gonna stop took a long nap yeah so I'm going to go get the beer because we're gonna sit in the rain whom I also bring some cold beers I don't think we're gonna have fish for dinner or a fire we're just gonna have some dehydrated meals and chill into the tarp play some cards drink some beers talk play with the dogs maybe let them get a little wet yeah loam get wet yeah that's our evening it was a uneventful third day we didn't get too much fishing that's okay sometimes you get these days you just gotta you just gotta do what you can and still still enjoy them I like Raina I just wasn't adventurous today I didn't feel like going fishing so that's that maybe it'll go away or for a great time and I still have to go fishing we'll see we'll see how it plays out but we got to get out of here we can't stay in here any longer the bugs dogs need to be free well they're not free you're like crazy you look great no like all that crazy thing like a crazy thing hey hey that's my camera hey no yeah that's all you know you puppy with your big relies your sight come on team course I'd definitely do this beer mission I'm gonna put on the waterproof case on my GoPro so there won't be much sound so maybe I'll play some music over this or something but I'm gonna go get the beer I'm gonna empty out my big drive egg and use that to carry them in so let's go do this let's get those beers [Music] [Applause] we may have picked a poor location for the tent all right so we're gonna grab the tarp and we're gonna set it up right here because it's not so bad we've relocated at the tarp boys funky or sitting under there monkeys got his string on a stick stick on the string whatever [Music] imade it back with the beer stopped raining for a second it got my hopes up but it's sprinkling again I'm still probably going try fishing for a little bit see if I can catch anything if I do catch a trout and it seems like it's not gonna rain too hard I'll make a fire in these wet conditions and eat it but that's a big if if I catch one and if it's not raining when I catch it too hard otherwise I don't know hopefully like making a fire we'll see we'll see how it goes we got here let's see we've got a pickaxe blonde KBC for Aaron and it's ice cold ice cold and I've got a quality light so now we're just gonna chill drink some beers for a minute and I'll see if I get back out there get him on get him on T yeah get him on T get him yeah he's got your tail Monte better get him and eating his dinner we're uh we're not getting rid or any treats and we're feeding him early for dinner because last night he had diarrhea and puked because we gave him mashed potatoes beef jerky fish treats too many treats and all that gave him the liquid squirts where he sharted and puked in the tent multiple times in overindulgence yeah so that was a mistake on our end and guess what Ruger we're never gonna do that again no we're not no we're not so yeah we knew better we're just we're just silly we're trying to spoil our dogs Monty you do the way an old man he's a year and a half and it looks like he's just like a seven year old dog but we live when we learn yeah you're gonna be a good wilderness pup you've done a lot in your eleven weeks hey you're gonna wit you're gonna poke somebody's eye out better watch it so I just saw a trout jump and it's not raining so I'm taking it as a sign that I should try to catch fish you have a trout for dinner got my lines set up late in the summer to be fishing for trout the waters really warm so there's not a great chance that I'll catch one but you know it's it's colder out today and it's raining it's calm we will see I gotta be quiet done you don't want to bump the boat they can do 200 I just had a bite there's still help left this one named fortune ten fish right now late summer and the waters are too warm so I'll be lucky to get another bite there to us all right I did just have a bite metal pole but it's it's getting dark I need to get back to my lady and my dogs so I'm just gonna troll my way back and on call it on the fishing of the rain starting again and the mosquitoes are just swarming us like crazy so we are making boiling our water for food as quick as we can and that we're gonna go under the tent for shelter because the rain started again mosquitoes are swarming poor Monty here you know that they're just all over him yeah I agree it's nasty poor guy so we're gonna get them in the tent get to safety so the mosquitoes were insane when I got back from fishing it's like they hatched or something I don't know they just came out but when it got to night time funk was just getting eaten alive and the dogs were just not happy it was like springtime hatch bad like just terrible so I we boiled our water from we boiled our water for our meals and just got right into the tent these dogs we're pawing at the tent they just knew that it was safety and they're happy to be in the tent right now there's a couple of wet dogs just chillin they haven't moved since they've been in here we kind of felt bad you know I don't like him getting eaten alive but it was it was really not that bad until it got too dark after all this rain so we're just gonna eat some food we got it over here turn them around let me see what we got here these are those Boundary Waters meals we got chicken alfredo and we got wild mushroom casserole so we're just gonna eat those up you know we had a day we sat in the rain a lot we took a nap I didn't get much fishing in that's okay I was a interesting day these will happen sometimes but I don't mind you know the rain it sucks you have to sit around you can go out fishing I would normally but I just felt like hanging out with funk in the dogs didn't leaving or just sittin in the rain by herself so it is what it is and just another day out in the wild and we're gonna get up tomorrow pack up all our wet stuff and head home so we're just gonna call it a day here eat some food get some rest let these puppies get some rest I hope they don't have the bathroom too much I got a little face won't be time to give up don't okay well good morning it's time to at home dogs are wet and tired and we're getting ready to pack up and we're I'm gonna make breakfast or anything we don't got too far to go we're just going to pack up head home keep the dogs as dry as possible it's not raining right now so we're gonna get moving pretty quick and try to beat the rain before it starts again till we get drenched let's get going this has been Monty's life since we got this new puppy he's not always impressed with him get a bug right here knows they're Monty is that your little chew toy Ruger your big chew toy we're all packed up and ready to get out of here got all their stuff everything's wet gonna have to go home and dry it off we're moving on we gotta cross talk for a second about the next log there I pack which I just tried out for the first time this trip that thing is awesome I normally use the bills bag and rs bills bag and that's 110 liters dry bag and it's just got the shoulder straps it doesn't have the backs for anything and I always wanted to find one with the the shoulder straps I didn't really look around complaint the until I saw used to burn Joe Robin that's video where he had this backpack I'm getting one of those and it is awesome to make portaging a breeze it saves your back it's a really great pack comes with three colors I think a little black in don't like yellow and black a figure of paddling in the Sun it would just heat things up my pack or anything nothing wrong with the pills bags other than performing without backs for it it's just not as enjoyable sticking alongside / last portage hey Ruger hi funk are we going home Monty would you stop licking your paws no don't lick those paws Monty don't lick those paws that was a great trip she's got done porridge and packed up the car Ruger did good was a good three night trip we got all sorts of weather we got wind and rain wind and Sun muggy heat and just straight-up rain rain but last night the Thunder was going crazy the Owls are going crazy as well all the noises out there but Ruger did great - is it great and we'll catch you with the next video the next time we go out camping
