3 Day, Bushcraft and Fishing in the Backcountry.

More manly than chocolate chip oatmeal in the woods. Hey guys, I'm in Algonquin Park with my buddy, Sean. We're doing three days. Yesterday was our first day. We got in early, paddled around. Do you admit what we're doing? Portaged. We didn't fish. Didn't fish at all. So today, today's not a big day. Yesterday we put in a little bit of distance to get here. Today's not a big day at all. We're gonna devote the day to fishing, even though I'm here. we'll see what happens so it's a good day yesterday it was uh not too buggy not too hot and it didn't rain it was supposed to thunderstorm we got a couple drops yeah looking forward to today looking forward for some fish in my belly when we get our boats we left them at the other end of the portage i tried out some fishing last night so we don't have to do the portage with our with our boats just this morning just our gear that's a that's a nice thing and then i think we've only got maybe five or six hundred meters There's a portage broken up today, if not even that. We tried some fish and Sean lied to me and said don't bring food, we'll eat tons of trout. I had rice. Some blueberries left over, surprise they're still around. Tasty. Yeah, no doubt. You made that look so much easier than me. It's not over. I got a decent sized perch here, throw that guy in the pot. We've got three smaller than this trout, a couple of chubs, a small perch, and then this guy. Pardon? No. No, no. I'm talking to the camera. I'm not gonna get much meat off this guy, but combined with the other five or six fish we have, they're all relatively the same size. We'll get a meal and put it with some bannock or something too. That's done. I'm getting hungry. We're gonna cook up those fish now. So I'm just gonna get some firewood. I'm gonna do a couple of different methods. This is how I'm back here. Protect my eyes from these twigs. Last thing I want, the old stick in the eye. Fire pit so that we can actually cook on it instead of big thing that we're gonna have a bonfire in, which we're not gonna do. Nice level spot for the grill to go on. You get a fire going behind it and then push the coals in. And then the chimney rock at the back, higher rocks that draw the smoke into the back of the pot so it's more like cooking in an oven instead of just in the frying pan. You're making me hungry. So here's our pot O fish, menage a fish. There's a perch, fall fish, fall fish, slippery fish, perch, and then there is, did you, what are these ones? That's the, Sean caught a monster fall fish, like, I don't know, not even comparable to the other size ones. And then he's also got two little brookies in there. I caught two brookies as well, but that's what everybody likes about me, you know. Yeah, there you go. Fish, fish crisp, fried fish to do. Stuff one of these fish. We've got some stuffing here, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, pepper. We'll see which one we like the best. Something you don't want to try at home when you're cooking for your family, your wife, because she's probably not going to like it, but these little parasites in their flukes, I think, they're You can pop those out easy enough, get rid of them. They don't do anything to harm the meat, but they also don't do any harm once you cook them to eat them either, so generally just leave them in there. That and the little black parasites. So I'm just cutting it open so I can stick a little bit of the stuffing right directly inside the fish So it cooks all nice with some flavor. So we're just gonna stick that right at the edge of Edge of the fire not over the coals so it cooks slowly. Otherwise it'll burn. Tender. Mm-hmm Yeah, that stuff really falls apart. And that's the fall fish. Fall fish. All right. And test out the fall fish. Cheers. You know the good thing about it is that trout in Algonquin, or trout anywhere, they're at risk, somewhat, especially by the time you can put pressure on another fish that can take it off the trout. Algonquin, bass, perch, fall fish, great target. Yeah, those perch eat the eggs, eh? Yeah, brook trout fry. Now I'm going to open up the perch, which is like a stuffed perch here. And then we have our fire roasted fall fish. I wanted to do this just to get a real sense of what it actually tastes like without spices without spices and fish crisp and stuffing and stuff on it so to me that's something if i was hungry forgot food or didn't bring as much food like i've done on other trips including this one and that that's probably i got how i'm gonna have to eat i'm not gonna have spices but i'll see how that tastes i'm sure it's fine but also sure it's not as good as trout perch and stuffed fall fish steam coming off of that that smells good look at that monster perch she's tasty though that's a real deal full moon too beautiful morning actually got pretty chilly last night and the most dew i've ever experienced i went i went without the tent fly and the inside of my sleeping bag or sorry inside of my tent and the outside of my sleeping bag drenched there's a puddle in the bottom of my tent so if uh if it wasn't the last night i would have put my fly on when i saw the dew or when i realized it was going to be dewy night but no more sleeps out here so i'm not too concerned about it we've got a pretty decent day ahead of us it's uh 7 20 in the morning and he'll probably be going until about two i think until we get to the car and a nice long drive home it's been a good trip we've had a lot of fun all right folks i'm in my own car now we We got done canoeing back to the car at around 3 p.m. It's now 7 p.m. Sean and I drove to his house in his vehicle. And then strapped up the canoe on here, and I'm heading home. So I had a great time. Sean's a cool guy. We had never camped together before. We didn't know each other. We met through YouTube.
