 What is up guys? Joe Holland here. I am handed north for a wilderness camping trip. This one is not a solo trip. It might be solo for a night or two in the beginning and maybe several nights at the end. But to start it off, I just got to tell you right now this is going to be an all-star cast. Some of the guys you've seen before, some of the guys you've never seen before. But wait until you see this group of characters that are going to be up here at the same time I am. And a few of them are going to be staying with me. I am just north of Bangor now and I'm getting a little nervous because I don't see any snow at all. I'm going to be taking the Millinocket exit head west and then north up to the world famous, well maybe not world famous, the state famous Chamberlain Lake where I hear they're pulling a snowmobile out that fell through in front of Nugent today. So we are not going to be at liberty to go wherever we want. We're going to have to be super, super careful with the ice conditions and whatever snow conditions there are on top of the ice. I have a lot of new equipment I want to try out and introduce you guys to on this trip. And hopefully we get a couple giant Brook trout topside. Two of the all-stars that you guys are going to meet today if you've never met them before. If you guys are familiar with the channel you are going to love who's on this episode. One of them is Brandon. The other is Cameron. Two of the best of the best that you could ever ask to be around or fish with. Absolute characters, absolute great guys and they're also hammers too. They can catch fish, they know how to get it done and they know how to get it done off grid. So I think they're about 20 miles ahead of me. They still got to do a little shopping. We're going to meet up in Millinocket and I'm going to follow him in the dark on the roads because they're probably not good shaped. They're probably pretty icy, nasty and I heard he's bringing up the old truck with a lot of weight on it. Stay tuned. Okay, you want winter. I guess all you have to do is ask for it. We're just driving a couple more miles. I'm about 20 minutes up the road from the last time I checked in and it looks like we have about eight to ten inches of snow and she's snowing right now. Hey, what's up buddy? Good to see you. How are you? Not bad, not bad. Nice. How was the ride up? I see it. Yeah, very icy. She caught loose on me a couple times. Yeah, yeah, as you could probably guess it did for us too. Yeah, what's up buddy? Good to see you. How's it going? I'm having a van. How's it going? How's it going? Good boots. Yeah. Hello. Unloading her? We're unloading her. Take probably 20 minutes and a half an hour. We'll be set up. She's on the run now. You want us to straighten her? Yeah, we got to try it. Yeah. We don't want to crush you. She told you now. It's going to be clean there. Is that all right? That's fine. Oh, she's hitting the wheel well. We're going to shove her over. That's all right. Is it? How's it going? Straight, we're going to have to back up. Does he have room? Oh, yeah, he's got room. He's got room. Watch your feet. Keep going. You're good. Keep going. Oh, no. Oh, this she has got. Give it a yank. You're good. Keep going. You know what? Yeah, we had a little mishap last fall. Oh. Got a bunch of new plastic on it, Joe. All right, have the best of them. Yeah. No, it isn't. Okay. I never seen one of your shacks on the door of the shop. See the light? There we go. Who sleeps up there? Here's the main camera. No, there. Look at this, Taj Mahal, Joe. This is unreal. It's so bright in here, too. But it started with one light running. There's three more. Four more. No, I mean the white, probably. Yeah, it's nice. You spray it down with bleach and wipe it down. This is a new trap rack I make for this wall. Unreal. I try to make the water chase to the door, hopefully, off the rails when my goal is. Can we jack this up? We're probably going to have to. Yeah. You slept in there? 25 nights or so. Did you? Yeah, we spent seven up here moose hunting. Oh, that's right. This thing's awesome to sleep in. No, I'm right in a minute. Cookin' station. Let's see if we can air it up. Is she here? Yeah. There's quite a crowd going out on the T-Law's road. It's on. It's all mighty. Oh, shock. It's that gear right there. Do you guys hear something about the sled recovery out in front of the moose? Yeah, absolutely. So true. Oh, yeah, I thought you were wrong. But, do I make it? Yep, 68 feet of water. So not much ice, huh? Not in front of my hand. When do you go through? A couple days ago. I hope there's some ice up the side. I don't. We're not going to be traveling, Chamberlain. No. Completely out of the question. If we're going to fish that north end, we're going to throw them on the trails and go around. I know it's a painless, that's the only safe way to do it. And I want, it's worth for me to go around and fish that log, damn it, Alice Brooke. I'll definitely travel it. No problem. We know this route there. Once I can clear out my trail, I can put four sleds in that. Give me really? I think so. I don't know. Yeah. Well, the trouble would be the tote sleds. More hangings here. But my buddy said that Indian Pond Road, right off the end of that, is the easiest access. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Right there in Nugent's parking lot. Yeah. Keep coming. Yeah, keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. He'll turn. He can ramp up. First time this year? You itching? That'll probably work. The right operator. I love this guy. He's got the speed cowlin' on. Imagine. This place smoked out right now. It's a lot since, but we'll get it. Leans are the stove. Whatever. I love it. I miss you guys. Yeah, me too. I saw a camera on the way up. We got to get back at it. Yeah, YouTube's missed you guys too. I'm so glad we came up tonight. Give us an extra night. Yeah. Actually, a night to catch up on old times. We got some stories you want to tell. I want to hear some stories.
