Family River Camp

[gravediggermax]

well i have watched many of your videos today waiting for the super bowl on come and i think, my opinion for me, this is one of your best.

you really have a good time with your family......camping, fishing, eating, so many fine things.

i have one question, i see and hear a small bell on belt, what is the purpose of this bell?

i can not believe i say a saw........you with a saw, not right...funny.

great place to camp and catche and eat fish.

see ya my friend

[virtuovice]

@gravediggermax Hokkaido island where I live has many brown bears. And I cannot carry guns outside the hunting season. So I carry bells to let them know we are close and a pepper spray against their attack. Thanks.

[gravediggermax]

@virtuovice ...yes, i thought as much, when we hunt for civil war relics in certain areas of the woods, we carry "M-80"s".....small like firecrackers with us....some do anyway......i think pepper spray would be good, thanks for the new plan.

[TexWiller45Lc]

Hi, i love your videos. Could you tell me your fishing gear? Especialy the fly fishing one?

[virtuovice]

@TexWiller45Lc I use UFM UEDA Super Pulser 8 feet 5 pieced pack rod to carry in my rucksack. I use DAIWA LOCHMOR X 100 small reel to take DT-4-F line. Japanese river is narrow. They are old tackles for trout anglers bought 20 years ago. Thanks.

[Snowalker1952]

I come back to this video every now and then when I need some peace of mind. The serene setting and the quiet way you and your family interact is very calming. Thanks again for sharing Wako, and all the best to you and your family.

[digitalartwerks]

Loved this video! Love seeing you camping and with your family.

[BushcraftHolland]

Very nice video! Looks like a beautifull scenery and it is always good to have a family trip. Lots of trout in that river btw. Cheers

[hunainmadi]

thank you very much for putting this video

much love.

[AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

Aloha Wako san. Kono video wa ichiban tanoshikatta. Your mountains, and streams are very beautiful. Boku no okaasan nakunatte kara Nihongo wa mo immari kikoi nai. Nice to hear Japanese spoken and know I haven't forgotten the language. Your family very good sports loving the outdoors like their otousan. VERY nice Iwana you're catching! Musume chan wa sugoi jibun de sakana wo kitte. 8-) Oishisou! Shioyaki daisuki. Iwana wa Yamame yori motto oishi? Thank you.

[eneyman]

this was a great video. you have a great family and are teaching them great skills too! I want sashimi now :)

[Grandforce89]

I would have loved to see you wife use the bark river gunny when cutting up the fish. How do you think it would have done

[SlinkingTiger]

Great video. Fish looks delicious.

[TheCountryboy150]

bear bells

[MrLorenzotrigueros]

why do you wear bells

[DarkGallahad]

@MrLorenzotrigueros you only want to be silent when you are hunting. When you are just camping and want to enjoy the outdoors or not be any danger,some people like to wear bear bells or predator bells. The ringing sound is very irritating to predators like the asian black bear that lives in Japan and many other predators. Here in America ...like me I am from Michigan the Deer hunting capital of the world,sometimes on nature walks we use them because of wild dogs and bear etc etc.

[LiamMitts]

Hey From Canada,Great video.You and your family went well prepared for camping.The fish looked like very good to eat and the location was beautiful,,,Thanks

[gotcalves]

Hi, do you ever process deer with AUS-8 Steel ?

[virtuovice]

@gotcalves Yes, I have. My self convexed SOG seal pup elite knife is made of AUS8. I have always used it for skinning deer heads for making trophies. It stays effectively sharp for two heads, and then it goes uselessly dull. But its convex edge is easy to resharpen with stropping. My Enzo Trapper SS is made of AUS8 too. Its Scandi edge stays sharp at least for a single deer. AUS8 is not bad, and only the 8Cr13Mov is really bad in my deer dressing experience. Thanks.

[JEDIHAMSTER101]

i would love to come to japan and go camping with you as i teach bush craft and i could learn more about your knife sharpening skills and fishing as you got loads of fish

[Snowalker1952]

Thanks for sharing your camping trip with us, it was a joy to watch. You have a wonderful family and live life as we all should.

[heettreet]

your family ,very good sport , you are very lucky ,,,, you are now my very favorite video site ,,, as im sure many many others thnk same way

[north61]

Nice looking family! Looks like fun

[kentpublic]

I love your knife videos, and now I love your adventure videos. Thank you so much for all of the great videos you make!

[jackster6929]

You have shown once again that a saw is easier and faster than a chopper such as an axe, or hatchet, most of the time.

[TheMotorick]

Your family members have good video skills. I could see everything like I was there. This was a wonderful video. Thanks so much.

[1616855]

That was sooo CCCOOOLllllLLL

[lmsloan]

Thanks for allowing us to join you.

[arodion499]

What was the best folding knife with black coating? Thanks, great video!

[virtuovice]

@arodion499 It was BladeTech Professional Hunter Magnum knife. Thanks.

[arodion499]

We're waiting video from the next trip! Vote for this guys!

[bobosantos1]

AWESOME VIDEO!! That river looks mighty cold!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[mccullenj]

Wonderful family trip. Where in Japan were youp at? Is it public land, park land or private? I love to campbut I live near the coast and must drive 4 hours to go anywhere like the location you were at.

[virtuovice]

@mccullenj I live on Hokkaido the north island. It is a public land 3 hours away from the city by car. It is a bears' land and the road to there is broken. So we must walk long in the forest and few people can get there. Thanks.

[SB936]

Nice fishing but bad fileting ..keep your fingers ...

Nice video .

[AP0LL0edc]

That's the most carbohydrates I've ever watched you eat! LOL. Great video! Wish I was there with you! Beautiful country!

[knivesfishwild]

VERY ENJOYABLE family video Wako! Love the fishing part, family spirit, and the water is so beautiful!!

[kinskibrain]

Thank you for another beautiful video!

[pseftis21]

i don' t believe she' s doing that with the fish

[fredde90210]

thx for sharing...

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

Will you be investing in a Bark River Machete any time soon! Looks like it could have served you well through the brush

[jkanavel]

I think you need a machete, brother...

[katsuyoshimuto]

今回も楽しませて頂きました。

お父さん、それ包丁じゃないっすｗ

パシフィックソルトかな？

[auradud3]

looks like a lot of fun, nice to do this with the family

[ryanrrx]

It looks like an amazing time, however I'm scared to watch you fillet fish like that, do you think next time maybe a fillet would be better? A few times I thought for sure you were going to cut yourself, my wife was thinkin this as well, anyway it looks like an amazing time :) !!! The spyderco salt is waiting in my amazon cart lol

[noweirdbeard]

That is another really great video! What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing.

[yloiron]

Your daughter will always have these priceless memories of her adventures with her parents. Awesome!

[1911bladeguy]

Do you have the giant 6 foot long river salamander in that stream?

[virtuovice]

@1911bladeguy No. I guess they live in rivers on the mainland. They need clear and cold water. So their population is very low and they are protected very carefully.

[traderjoes]

Wako, which model of watch is that you are wearing? Does it also have compass readings?

[virtuovice]

@traderjoes It is Casio Pro Trek PRW2000A. It has wider display than usual and its atmospheric pressure trend graph is useful to see how the weather will go. It has a strong solar charging system and will serve me until the liquid crystal gets wrong. Its compass function is very useful to me in snowy mountains. But it doesn't work properly under very low temperature. So I keep it under a jacket sleeve there. Thanks.

[traderjoes]

@virtuovice Thanks, I just ordered it!

[virtuovice]

@traderjoes You ordered it? It's awesome! You will be being satisfied with it for long. Thank you!

[mantrop]

Priceless!



[Nebulax123]

I love the Trout Sashimi like you I think Trout make the best.

[malcolmry]

Charming...

[tyronebiggums3]

Wonderful!!

All that incredible nature, and you get to share it with two beautiful ladies!

Cheers!!

[residentblade]

You've mentioned it a few times so cool to see the fishing bro. Fishing the fly is the only way to go

[MrJoeyBoombotz]

What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing with us. Your daughter's knife skills are very impressive for a girl her age. What a beautiful family you have. You must be very proud of them. I love it!!!

[plumbingoni]

Absolutley beautiful place to camp we have similiar here in england. Great video.

[Halfmoon67]

Great vid man!

[paolowolverine]

you have to put subtitle in yours video when you speak japanese

[BladeDude97]

That place look so beautiful!  Great Vid!

[sae1095hc]

Teaching children wilderness survival skills gives them a sense of confidence and independence, so they can find success in later life and not become parasaito shinguru!

[PainSorrowFury]

another great video, would love to visit japan just once in my lifetime

[practicalskills]

very fun video thanks for posting. I'm curious why the bells do they keep from surprising bear?

[bertocaster]

Such a beautiful family!

[JackedLobster]

Thanks for a view of the Japanese wilderness. :)

[pelahale]

I enjoy watching your flyline casting technique. Do you find it easier to fish using flycasting techniques or using standard lines.

[lesterskinner]

Very nice video.

[Latviansoldier]

always love your vids , its cool to watch someone on other side of world.

[quint150]

Your videos keep getting better and better. May I make an humble suggestion. Would love to see your take on Tokyo. You would be the Japanese Crocodile Diundee. LOL. Take care.

[Kmurray9244]

I would his blades are plenty sharp ha ha... What he needs is a machete / parang for that kind of vegetation.

[alzathoth]

looks like you need a sharper knife...

[cybereagle08]

Great video, I love camping my self but sometimes it's hard to find time to do it. By the way have you tried taking a machete to trips like this one. They would help greatly. Just a thought. I come from a country that a machete is used for everything and when used right become very helpful. :-)

[stefchollet]

nature in japan is amazing...thank's for sharing wako :)

[kingsomil]

u r so good at catching fish :)

[zvirfor]

really nice weekend!

[stefanwolf88]

Great trip, Wako! I and my girlfriend were on the same kind of trip two daws ago - tent near the mountain river, fishing, swiming, fire making and knife testing - great relax for me ...

Stay safe!

[johniac7078]

5 stars. love these family videos! wonderful!

[razio54]

Great video! Thank you for inviting us to explore your beautiful country. It's a amazing that you can set up camp a few feet away from the river and within no time have enough trout to have a wonderful dinner with your family.

[SuperFanny12345]

Fishing looks excellent!

[noshoes]

I want to be doing this so bad when I see your vid. Lovely surrounding and everything one needs is available with a little knowledege and effort! Great family time.

[frips1000]

Nice vid

thanx!

[ziqianyang]

great video as always Wako San! beautiful country, I am jealous! =D

[traderjoes]

Japan is so beautiful! I would have loved to explore the sedimentary rock wall opposite your camp for fossils in the layers. You have a lovely family Wako, and I wish my wife would want to go into the woods and camp with me. Again, you are a lucky man!
