Enjoyed the video, glad you got out winter camping.

Do you have headlamps or a lantern on at night? It looked so dark.

We have also used the reflective bubble wrap sheets when winter camping, but never put it under the stove.... Seemed to work great.

We laughed at your Christmas gifts, Chris got reflective rope from CCS for his gift ;).

You said you work nights? Are you nurses? I'm (Jenny) a nurse and knew what a foley catheter is, Chris just looked confused.

Have fun in the BWCA!!! Wish we could come with....

Yes, I'm a nurse, Matt's a cop. LOL We both work night shift. We do have a headlamp and lanterns... it was actually fairly well lit, the camera doesn't do it justice. :)

Great video. I love your competitions, they always make me laugh.

I totally support the use of a Foley for winter camping. One of the few times I have wished I was a guy is when I read about the use of the gatorade bottles as night time porta potties.

I remember having to psyche myself up to leave the warm sleeping bag and traipse through the snow to dig a cat hole. Not fun.

Lol...guess I implied that Matt was a nurse. :) Although men can be nurses! Now I'm debating about stealing foleys from work.... Hmmm. ;)

Hehe... make sure you get the smaller french size, lol. Although, the time I did step out of our tent to go, I was amazed at how bright the stars were... I'm thinking for that one time, it may have been worth it... but after that... foleys in!

Nice vid. Saw part of your axe sharpening one as well. a pair of think leather gloves would help protect your hands.
