Come along with Wolf and I as we go on our first hunting trip ever. I learn from my neighbors how to locate and hunt Grouse. I got my limit and camped under a tarp for 2 nights.
The narrator and his dog, Wolfie, travel to White River for a hunting and camping trip. As a beginner, the narrator learns grouse hunting from experienced neighbors while sharing his own bushcraft skills. The journey emphasizes self-sufficiency, dog socialization, and the value of building a supportive, community-oriented lifestyle through shared outdoor experiences.
Come on, buddy. Let's go.
Good dog. Up. Good boy.
Holy smokes, we're loaded up to the nines.
We are heading to White River. It's about a five-hour drive north
up through Lake Superior Park and over to my neighbor's
parent's house for some grouse and for some camping and possibly some
fishing. We're gonna have this guy playing
with a bunch of dogs and getting
him used to the sounds and just smells of camp.
What do you think about that blanket?
That will be
oh yeah oh yeah
good boy plenty
of room eh plenty

this guy

little
tinkle

snow
as we go
we're about 20 minutes out now
so i'm sure as most of you know i've never really hunted before
i've certainly never put up a hunting video before
i've always really wanted to learn but growing up
down south uh in ontario and not having a father
to teach me no one really around just wasn't part
of my life i missed out on it
and i've really wanted to learn for a long time so now is the
perfect opportunity i'm super happy about being able
to learn from my neighbors that said these
guys are super into the hunting and they've been like
that their whole lives but they really don't
know anything about bushcraft
so they asked me to bring some you know typical bushcraft type stuff
so we could play around and learn off of each other
so i brought the staples i brought my tarp
my axe a couple other things my saw all sorts
of fun stuff that you can find on my new website
Robinette Outfitters it doesn't matter if you've
been into the outdoors for a long time or what you
do outside your activity we got you covered
and our feedback has been amazing already so check
out Robinette Outfitters for all
your outdoor needs all right we picked up the crew we got
winter cash and wolfie back in there
and tammy's coming tammy is my neighbor i've known her since
We lived in Sault Ste. Marie in 2007
and we're neighbors again, which is pretty cool
So yeah, we're gonna go head out and meet her dad Stewie at the camp.
Oh Stewie. Oh my goodness so many doggies
Well, we're at camp now you can see behind me a bunch of trucks
and trailers. I've never really done this before this type of camp
I'm gonna go get some grouse. Maybe some ducks.
Maybe some bunnies if possible
You can see all the tamaracks are in bloom or in color right now
Tessa this is Tessa the one-eyed husky
hey sweetheart Oh Wolfie loves her Oh
husky pals see there's still
snow here the Tamarack

some
more
birds
tomorrow
He's gone to bed.
It's time for me
to make up a bed in here.
Wolfie's somewhere.
He's probably eating
grouse pieces
if he ever shows back up
Which I'm sure he will but I
don't mind him being gone
Well, I set this up so that I can get it all squared
away pretty good without him stepping on my sleeping pad
There you are. Where are you big boy?
Hey, yeah, you gotta stay with me bud. Good boy
A little squared away. No, no you stay there.
I got him tied up to a tree.
I'll show you you can't go any farther than this
He's tied
off to that
tree there.
Mr. Wolfie
is KO'd
As you can see and I'm ready for bed, too
We're gonna sleep under
the tarp get up
in the morning try
and get some more birdies.
Sleep alright?
Almost 8 in the morning now
Wolf and I are just chilling here under the tarp cuddling.
Oh, it sounds like most of the camp is up now
Wolfie was chomping at the bit to go play with the other dogs
so he's running
around right now and I'm just getting my stuff on.
I like to crawl back in my
sleeping bag after I put my clothes
on and warm my clothes up that way so I'm
gonna do that this morning and then go get breakfast.
Hey buddy, you excited? You having fun?
You having fun at camp?
All the doggies.
Look at these snoots.
It was so cold
last night,
there's a...
F is for frost.
Where is it, Shadow?
Good girl.
Good girl, Shadow.
Where is it?
Good eye. Should have brought a bag. That's alright.
We're just going for a little walk. Yeah, we can go back.
Two is pretty

You want that?
Right. Did I do something wrong?
No. Okay. No. Oh yeah, we gotta
rinse it. Thank you. Right, right.
Five? Because you're here overnight
to bring 15 homes. Sick.
Because I'm here for three days? Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, it was pretty wild. There was like a
group of, like a family of them,
young ones and everything, and it seemed like the dad
was trying to distract me. So I should put this
in the freezer.
Alright. Three.
Hold on, buddy.
You coming in? Come on. Okay, we just gotta
get this in
the freezer.
You can shoot
from there,
Joe. What sound
do they make?
Like a
Yeah, I used to think it
was an outboard motor before I knew anything.
I was camping and I come here
------- motor again. Checking out this lake Tammy's showing me.
Attaches to a nice river system apparently and there's good fishing for
Walleye and pike. What do you got Wolfie? Is that that fish skin?
This is the cold
lake nice and clear.
Oh all the way.
Yeah, at least to there
Oh, sick! I didn't see this.
This is where you were talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is perfect, man.
Like, because we're down here.
Uh-huh. It's still easy enough to get to.
What do you got? What do you got, big boy?
Hey, Wolfie. Hey, good boy.
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

a puddle.
Ruffle,

Three, ruffle.
Look at that.
Yeah, but then she freaks out.
Right.
Like, she's shaking.
Just, uh, can she just stay there?
I guess we won't both fit there.
Why is she? What's wrong?
Is it a gun?
It's okay, sweetie.
Here, Hunter.
Okay, baby girl.
We can stop shooting.
Oh, back
at camp now.
There's some drama.
We got the bush cat up in the tree.
So, I'm going to have to try to lure him down, I think.
She's up there.
You'll get to a point where she'll just stay there
and then you can get her.
She's playing with the branches
like 50 feet in a tree.
oh god what I
know you're
tired then go

year tosh and i went out with bows
for for deer um but no luck and this
I've had lots of luck there's lots of fun and I'm appreciative for the
knowledge and I like the fact that I can provide
for my family feel a little bit
more manly it's just a blast I'm glad
the dogs here learning from the other

Oh hi Shadow, what are you doing over here?
You are sick!
I love you, too. You're such a good boy
And
you
really

just
comes
with
time,
eh
That's
skill
that's
limit
all
packed
up
trying
to
find
wolf
Winter
are being doggy pals down at the marsh.
Are you guys just drinking the beaver fever water, eh?
You're having fun, hey, bud?
Yeah, you are.
You going swimming?
It's almost the end of October here,
and it's hot enough to be repping my white, pasty skin,
so it's good weather.
Real nice spot.
I limited out on birds.
Ooh.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You probably...
Oh, yeah, that's not good.
Leave it alone.
Man, that beetle must have secreted something
because he smelled it,
and he started foaming at the mouth and spitting it out.
Come on, bud, come on.
You know, when we made the move up here,
like four years ago, four years ago this October,
this was the plan the whole time,
be more self-sufficient, live off the land,
be helpful to the neighbors,
have a community type thing, you know what I mean?
And this is exactly that.
They welcomed me with open arms.
They taught me everything without being judgmental
or anything like that.
Didn't make fun of me too much.
so uh it was a great success i learned a whole lot
and like i've said wolfie learned a lot too
it's a really good experience for both
of us he's not nervous around any of this stuff
and uh that's super awesome for me
because this is what i've been wanting to do for a long time
so hope you guys enjoyed it i know it's completely different
and some people will be not happy about
it but that's just how it is guys i'm not trying
to offend anyone just living my life and everything
I'm doing is legal and morally right regardless of that's your opinion
or not. I love all people
from all walks of ages.
I want everybody to be accepting of everyone else.
Oh Wolfie I'm so proud
of you. I tied them up under the tarp with me both nights just
because there were so many smells
around and we're pretty north
and there's other dogs you might want to be able to go interested
and stuff like that so it's just easier for me
but I'll go back to just having them next to me
once we're by ourselves,
and it's a little bit more normal of a camping trip for us.
I think we're going to just have a last little lunch together,
and I'm going to drive Tammy into town here
and drop her stuff off at her parents and her off,
and then Wolfie and I have the long drive home.
It's already 2 o'clock. I won't be home until dark tonight for sure.
That's okay, though. Totally worth it.
And I would come back again. It was either
going four-wheeling this weekend
or coming here and doing this was my two options.
And I've been four-wheeling, and I really enjoy it.
But this is skills life skills that I wish I would have
been taught growing up. Well, buddy
It's just you and me again ready for the drive.
Thanks for watching folks. Hope you enjoyed it.
We're gonna drive home now
Everybody's dropped off. Everything's all
squared away. So see you on the next one
Goodbye go snack and
go break
We'll
feed
the bush
dog my good boy
