    Am I the only one who silently cheers Ruegs on the more he ‘gets’ the whole camping/travel experience. Lots to learn for the little guy. But he’s maturing nicely. He’s starting to understand what ya need from him. He does quite well in the spot that requires him to reposition a lot. Especially, when you go under logs. It kind of works with his ‘busy’ and yet graceful energy. Kind of proud of him. Course Monty is a rock for you both.

      Yes, 15-20% of that chicken was raw/undercooked. It needed 1-2 minutes more cooking in that oil and it would been perfect. If you are a fan of the channel, we all know Matt is short on patience while in the realm of cooking, lol. When he cuts up a steak right after he cooks it, I cringe, seeing all the important and flavorful juices run out. He can't help waiting to let the meat rest for 10-15 min. Eventually he learns, hahaha.

We built a couch a chair and ottoman a chaise lounge a fake TV a coffee table and two end tables. Well we were having a hard freeze. Jennifer and I decided to make it last all winter. And it was no joke at last at all winter. We were really excited to show our parents what we had built. Went in and they're like oh I hope you didn't do a living room out in my front yard? Oops. It lasted practically all winter which was hilarious. And we played on it everyday. So much fun.

    Hey Matthew question. Does anyone ever keep up on those waterways? I wasn’t sure if the State or Parks or anyone ever ride down those to clean them up from down trees? Just like with beavers they can completely destroy & change the eco system & waterways. Sorry but I laughed watching a 6’ plus man trying to scoot down in his canoe to get under a tree. 🤣. Glad you were finally successful in getting your head underneath that down tree. You are either brave or crazy taking both dogs plus all of that gear in 1 boat. We both know it’s the crazy part but I’ll let you think there was an option…🤣. Thanks for another fun video. The shelter turned out to be pretty amazing. That’s one of the things I love about your winter camping. The ones to create are a once in a lifetime. Especially when you dig down into the snow to use as the walls. I love how you guys pick dog names. I’m alway trying to think outside the box for my fur baby names. Personally it’s weird to meet doggies with human names….🤣. Like a dogs name can be ANYTHING…like a breakfast sandwich. One of the FD’s here has a Dalmatian station dog & his name is Poop. No lie…that’s what they names him. 🤣
