Join me on a classic winter backcountry campout where I enjoy some very nice weather, set up a simple but comfortable camp, and spend the night in the backcountry of Canada.
Thanks to all who watch! God bless!

Due to some heavy snow falls we've experienced so far this winter, I'm struggling to get around in the wilderness. A good pair of snowshoes will be required for me to travel any distance for the remainder of the season. Today I'll be making a pair of snowshoes using basic materials from the wilderness along with some waxed thread for lashing. Thank you to all who watch! God bless.

In this episode I demonstrate an easy way to turn glass bottles or jars into simple candle lanterns. These lanterns are great for camping as they are wind-proof and provide a good amount of light. They are also handy to have around during power outages or just as a decoration. You can make these candle lanterns in many different sizes and styles, your creativity is the limit.

Thanks to all who watch! God bless.

A few extra tips in regards to cutting the glass:
-Thicker glass cuts easier using the method shown in this video. Thin glass will often break randomly rather than following the scribed line.
-There are many different ways to cut glass, this method is just what I've found to produce consistent quality results.
-Obviously whenever dealing with glass it's important to practice extreme caution as glass can be very sharp.
-After using the glass cutter make sure to clean up all the tiny glass shards. A wet towel or rag will pick them up easily.

Why bother making a candle lantern when you can just buy one?
While some candle lanterns can be bought for ~$20 most cost upwards of $50. Many of the candle lanterns available also use specific candles which typically cost a lot more than regular tea lights or tapered candles. Making your own is more cost effective, and if it ever breaks or becomes damaged it's very easy to replace. It's also a fun process that allows you to get creative and design whatever you please.

During a stretch of nice winter weather I wandered out into the wilderness and spent a couple of days camping. I enjoyed a simple tarp camp and wool blanket bedroll paired with a bright fire that offered a pleasant sleep despite the cold temperatures. My goal with this trip was to relax and enjoy m
