he's like eating raw mangoes like what are you doing dude that's awesome I have no idea Vanek so good [Music]

finishing that for almost 11:00 it's a cocky twist of words and phrases like enjoying yourself there's something like you were saying earlier Mitchell about the how the double bit is this it's not the ideal - it's a trinket yeah well if it has 12 inches handle that's a trinket my opinions on weight yeah it's just small you you're not splitting up with that dude he's not doing no you can't hand in the double bit it's like it's not like you're using it as a wedding and batana yeah yeah it's a double bit you need to you need to know your location you know if they're gonna do his like drop a whose drop a pine or how long did you make the shelter window you know he doesn't get way to put it in yeah yeah I love like those little saddle axes yeah I think that's neat yeah yeah that's just it's just like a fun be a fun thing they like craft in the woods with you know I occasionally judge God it's too gooey he's reputable can't believe you don't remember Ben dude I thought you were the one that's like dude you have to stop eating that we like cooking on a log this kid showed up like in the fall when it was actually pretty cold it was rainy in with like shorts and I think of that like it was just funny to us you know [Music]

mine out of control page page Mick Mahan was writing for self-reliance Illustrated suicides time but she had or like I would just write contributing articles that would be in every every other magazine you'll ever but she like had her own column every for every month dude no joke she wanted like a banach recipe so she came to me and asked me because somehow I got known as panic sounds making like pine manic and all sorts of craziness to berries and stuff and whatever Veronica was like Mitch's famous Bannock and she like had me like give her my recipe and take pictures and the whole bed it was a good flattering little Mike my panic isn't like like you're writing articles about it like just look what is happening right now like oh my god screws from your video it was just really weird I didn't know how to take it I still know how to take it I actually made me feel kind of weird because then that cuz I know all of a sudden everyone thought that was like oh dude you gotta make your your famous band famous it's like a cocky of like cake that I wouldn't mind if someone you know sort of a recipe thing is that I feel like that would actually be like worthy of an article or something like something that you feel you can build it it's I don't think it has the benefits of just me know that the dry goods because you need like actual room temp you know what it says do it for something like like your camp out boss well my Bannock was um it was good in my bag that's the whole thing on it I feel like the whole time that was the whole point so I could literally carry everywhere you know nasty

I could literally carry that and have it in my rough for six months and make it what about it that's the amazing thing about flour yeah it's like it doesn't weigh much and it makes a lot of bread yeah you know and like that's like that's what it actually when I went my girlfriend went vegan for a while she did a cleanse actually she did some type of cleanse and then went being him for six months after do it for you for the first month and and when we baked instead of using eggs we used applesauce I'm like that's ingenious like I have applesauce in my pack right now like you you can keep unsweetened applesauce when I was doing it we use pumpkin candy oh yeah and you can fade in the woods like you can you can perfect eggs actually baked things you can rise and bake things absolutely without just letting you know with with a thickening agent yeah and in the leavener do my wedding would be good it wasn't really a dude I had pumpkins as Bulls you had them all carved out yeah for our lentil soup that's pretty tweetable dude yeah we were we were hardcore vegan do we not mess around there's some vegans that are like oh but we still need eggs I'm like really like aborted babies so you don't care with eating imported babies but not like oh well well I mean well yeah but but but fish is it fish isn't really meat I'm like really that's so funny because one when it's swimming around it's born and all that stuff it's as animal and yours my sociological reasons I don't know mine was real you do for your body and your health or you did it because sociologically you don't know i animal yeah dude like there's two different you know either way like because most of people I feel like who's been the rules they know like holistic and vegetable based diets are better for them so they start to omit animal product it was known for healthy logical reasons actually think about where the animal comes

yeah I saw a video that really put me over the edge I saw a video of two hunters up I think it was northern Canada or Alaska were way up you know they're on the Arctic Circle symptom and they're hunting seals and do the thing was still alive yep and he skinned it well still alive and it had all of its fur taken off and it's just like like a rabbit we take all off it's just exposed to meet yeah it was laying in the snow he's just blinking yeah like dude I've been looking around and I was like a switch turned on in my brain and I just was not the same person and you know I saw that with foxes they yeah honestly most fur fur cup for companies do that because they don't want to risk ruining part of the fur which is so it's like dude you're literally walking around dead you're done you know I mean you're already walking around dead böck brothers the bark smells so good when it burns with Malcolm God he go to bed or something I heard him to the left over there are you in bed Malcolm yeah yeah he's in bed okay Norris tonight

and then I could start my day there's something over here in the water I saw him make a little while ago I was still in bed almost it but something's just swimming under the water right here was crazy we're tracking it but I like the subtle disturbances up on the top of the water and there's a bunch of my chair tadpoles in here too so I'm sure you know I think it went under the ice or something cuz I don't see it's the services in you know Oh [Music]

mmm that was cool that was crazy yeah it swam from like way underwater over there yep yeah I mean we were literally just like tracking it by its upper water movements it's pretty cool we could tell where we're like what if it was a stopped and it like went down deeper because in the water kind of like bubbles encircled in a single spot and because like I was pushing up while I was going down and then it made a single like very fast like burst right near the ice line because it made a single line just on the left like a push really hard towards the shore like as if it was trying to like beat something you know kind of like bought them something out of there that I wanted to eat yeah I think it went under the ice that was cool

[Music]

I mean it's shallow dude it could be it could be a pickerel like something a fake pole or a bass something that can move fast and short bursts and yeah you know and they're rushing this way to force it up and force bait against the shore to trap it that definitely wasn't the wind that was one thing swimming under the water cuz that created a very distinctive ease wing yeah yeah it just struck again I almost want to drop a line in the water but I'd hate to catch a mink to the hook you know exactly yeah well you just throw a little flower top it up like a bud yeah yeah so we saw the mink this morning it started running from that dead tree at that point on the ice along the shoreline kind of hopped up hopped back down popped up hop back down and they kept sprinting this way and made it all the way to this point and hopped up and kinda like rain invisible rock took off that's cool yeah they're definitely beautiful he's looking for food one right in front of my Jeep that's how long ago and what if that's his tracks on the ice you see that see the tracks of the ice oh yeah totally it almost looks like we're something we didn't lose something but now it's too definitive yeah that's interesting yeah man it was it's been across it's cool it's making some tea using a modified clove hitch my power cord and so the the rest of the cord isn't hanging over fire I have it off to the side and it's a quick release so that way I can get my my rope and pot off of there in a hurry if I have to any phones not a fry axe handle works for both dude that's a sick a verse a pen Roberts I won that one yeah I won that with a t-shirt it like all of his YouTube channels for he knew who he was yeah that's that's the exact one that I want it's a good hammer sack yeah I bought I bought a navy blue on two for my girlfriend she loves that yeah yeah me and them it's been pizza got one you message me he's like dude these are sick they're more like urban and and he sent me an article I think where it was like some like some like gun-range website so prep or something like that wrote an article about like the like man purse for the range or something and had a picture of like a pistol in the back of it yes this is the pocket knife I run it's a 1950s Camilla streamline carbon steel it's got convex blade just takes a crazy edge and you can tell it's been used pretty good but still really sharp that rides in my pocket every time I'm in the woods the logo has been worn off it's been used for so many years it's gone you know yeah I mean amazing made in New York that's so cool yeah buddy can't skill in USA New York [Music]
