 I got the donuts all, some of them cut out, I'm just waiting for the fat to get hot enough it's about 250 right now I like to get it about 265 but Joey got a gift in the mail from a viewer from New Brunswick and I'm gonna give it a try today and I think it's gonna work great and it's a stick which you use Marty McFarlane made it sent Joey two of them and you use it to flip over the donuts in the grease and take them out and so forth so I think it's gonna work great but we're gonna give it a whirl in just a minute when the fat gets hot enough yeah I've been using this Marty's stick which honest to God I've always used spatula like this to take them in roll them over look how easily this does it I mean it's a it's a work of art I mean how could you make anything any more ingenious than this this is great look how easy it is to take them out of the fat I mean it had to have been done by I'm making a genius I don't know if you'd call it a culinary engineer or just an engineer but that Marty you got you've got a win Marty I would throw a patent on that thing I'd get your wife behind it on you yeah yeah I'd have her do the paperwork for you since you did the hard work already this is awesome really awesome you want me to dip these Donnie yeah speaking of amazing try your first donnie's no not right off the press drive one of them in here that one's kind of thin they might I hope they can all right oh yeah we'll stop we'll suffer through again all right she's edible yeah mm-hmm yep number pass oh look a donut hole well geez Marty's gonna have to make like a two pronged fork for them donut holes a little curve on the end of it yeah he's got to come up with the invention for the donut yeah I'm gonna the stick doesn't work too good for those but I'm sure he could he's ingenious yep to come up with this this idea look how nice that is unbelievable well you're gonna keep the cook happy yep I imagine biscuits are pretty good in that so good they flop right up yeah yeah yeah I got my dad's biscuit recipe which came from over to Redbrook Redbrook was a lumber there was lumber camps there my great-grandfather yeah there is Redbrook in relation to here about halfway down the lake and if you're going down the lake it would be on the left side okay yeah Redbrook dumps in there used to be filthy with trout it's not so much none of the tributaries are because of the low water we've had really decimated the trout population up here that friggin Mike ruined the trout oh there's treasures all over this lake I mean this boat sunk we've gone and seen them in the low water the old motors the motor blocks I mean it is just whenever they got rid of it and it's through it in late you know unfortunately and because all over the woods it's just Joe you're gonna come take a picture of this I think it's a sign I cut the last donut I cut the last donut and look at the shape of that what was left and I haven't docked it up at all so I think it's a sign that Bobby's sending I hope these fat ones are cooked in the middle they were great they ain't we don't care I eat raw dough that's Donnie's favorite I love it them look really good I don't know if I can cook this like that I don't know but I'm rolling it again ten out of this half this is a half a batch yeah yeah that's plenty for three guys look at I just can't get over how easy this thing works cuz you know if you make a half batch or full batch it did eat me the way right yeah no matter what you we never throw it away the glummies don't get those no it's a great donut hey thank you Matty for such a great invention I'm gonna use that every time I cook doughnuts from now on it just it beats a spatula all the pieces now the only thing you got to come up with it's something to get the donut holes out of the fat I'm thinking a two prong maybe like a two prong yeah a little hook on the end though right right yeah I don't know if he can do that yeah I know if he can do what he did yeah that's true he definitely can come up with an idea yeah maybe maybe on the other end of the stick you know so it's one stick right right one on each end right yeah oh that would work great yeah yeah he'll have to get his wife you made our day up here gonna have to get his wife over to the patent office right yeah get the paperwork maybe she can do the marketing yeah yeah I think it's a good marketable invention John what do you think of them I'm in the top shelf yeah yeah it's hard to fill up on them that's the wrong with this I hope that the fish bite as good as we're biting them well guys you just heard it we're gonna do some fishing today we're gonna go to a secret private lake well not private but secret and it's a pretty special lake to me because it was right in the heart of one of my trapping lines and it never used to be open to ice fishing so I'm pretty excited to get out there it might not be open now we don't know but we're gonna go fish it but but the goal is to catch a bucket of white perch we'd like catch a feed a white perch you know we'll have a feed for John we can leave a feed here and we can take a feed home and white perch are about as tasty a fish as there is that swims in the state of Maine so we got some Cusk we got some salmon already and what we'll do is we'll we'll compare the three of them so stay tuned we're gonna drive some donuts and coffee into us and get geared up and then we're gonna head over and see if we can find this secret pond and then see if we could fish it that's why I'm proud I'd like to get that purple you do oh do they cool yeah really pretty not a ton of fun that produce that oh she's thinking she might want to come back and she's coming back in sorry baby but I gotta put my feet there I'm gonna put you in there I'm gonna put your right in there yeah now she's looking to lay down yeah she'll remember that for a minute probably this is how you get the fish going drink coffee yep then you put the coffee cup down yep lose the fish yeah here we go oh wow that's a monster two of them oh a smelt job friggin job yeah I see look bigger than that on the screen yeah I got some bait for tomorrow for tonight you can get hot in here in a hurry yeah it'll be hot in the hurry yeah but now for two hours I can't find them I never tried it with a pan on top of that before I suppose I could throw them right on the rack guys I want to show you a old trapping check I found probably these 25 years ago when I was trapping there was no road to it no trail to it either it was mile and a half or so off the last road log road but it's on the water as you could see through those trees and it was really well hidden back in the day there was no daylight even getting to it and when I found that the roof hadn't caved in yet and it was in real good shape it was still locked up and I made a bunch of inquiries about it trying to take it over so I could fix it back up keep it alive but it hasn't it hasn't weathered too well but the doors off it now and take inside four beds get some bunk beds there and table over here there was a real nice cook stove there back in the day I think it's falling through the floor now before somebody snagged it the loggers weren't too far from in here one year and there's the sink yeah but she's pretty rough now as you could see but the bones are still good on it you know the framing is still solid and the floor is good so I think I think someone could make something out of it I remember when I found this thing I came real close to it before I even noticed that that's how dark it was in these woods and the bear had gotten one of the corners I think it was this corner here where the bear had scratched the heck out of the corner as you could see might even that back corner too but now there's a logging road they put a new log in road you can see it kind of ends over there with a trail down to it so maybe somebody's gonna resurrect it I don't know but it was always a dream of mine to own that thing and fix it up and live here on this lake guys you're not gonna believe it because I don't believe it I'm out here on one of my old trapping spots by old trapping lakes on the lake now and I think I found a moose antler moose or deer I actually can't tell from here but I see time sticking out right ahead of me let's get up there yeah what is that doing on the lake are you kidding me are you kidding me moose little baby moose oh he's just a little palm-aided like Donny four fingers look at that giant moose antler I am finding moose antlers like it's my job not even try it I love it I'm out here I'm like oh 40 feet on the lake so he dropped it on the lake that's weird less a coyote brought it out here I don't see the other one be an awesome matching set though that tiny little thing just starting to get a palm to him that's got a two mark on it maybe a coyote did drag it out here no it's not a tube I can put that one in my pocket oh my god I can't even believe it the boys are gonna be excited when they see that I couldn't even believe seeing time sticking out on the lake well I'm gonna drive the rest of this perimeter of this lake just to get a look at it parts of it I've never seen before and from a vantage point I've never seen so maybe we'll find another one who knows you're not gonna believe it guys this is just how it happened I picked that antler up right there drove over here that I was driving there and I thought I saw something dark under the snow under the snow mind you and I kicked it and it looks like we got another one oh it's the other one matching set I think unless there was two little guys let's we got to compare them it's like oh 30 yards away that would be an awesome matching set yeah it sure as heck is look at that matching set of moose antlers that's my second matching set of the year I've only found six I think seven I don't know I haven't really been looking for them but that was cool one was tying up I couldn't miss it that one was tines down and I could just see a little dark under the snow actually and I was like now can't be so I turned around as you can see there's my turnaround and I put a boot on it and sure as heck matching set pretty awesome that's probably the smallest matching set I've ever heard of and he was out here on the ice when he lost it so that's kind of interesting really interesting actually out on top of the ice well let's keep going see what else we could find found a staven set of moose antlers that matching set yeah yeah you want to see him yeah how cool is that that's better than a 50 inch I know I've never seen a set like this look at how tiny this set of moose antlers are I think I'm gonna get them mounted to my helmet walk around like this donnie this one reminded me of you it's got four fingers look at that huh yeah I was down that corner this one had like two tines sticking up so I was like it's either deer or moose because I thought it was huge and I got over it was only this big and I'm like 40 yards 40 feet further this one was upside down snow covered and I could see a little bit of dark so I turned around kicked it and I kicked the snow off and sure as heck I know it beautiful beautiful yeah yeah we can melt one of them baby brook trout in a staven set of moose antlers all right guys the lake level is coming up she's starting to slush up pretty good as you could see there's about a foot of slush there we're on top of it still yet that's the way we want to keep it but we're gonna head on out of here the fishing did not pan out like we are hoping for John how many times that happened to you guys where you're bringing a friend to a spot where you smashed them before and you're all excited and you talk talk it up tell them about it and then you get there and it ain't it ain't happening it happened so many times so we feel bad for him donnie and I get to slur him now the rest of the trip but we feel awful to John what do you think buddy well you just wait a minute we're having trout for breakfast that's true so all in all so far that was good we got like a seven mile hike back to the camp and we might set up for Kosk we might go get I don't know what we're gonna do yeah what do you want to do go back to camp yeah we'll go Koskin okay we're gonna head right back to camp okay all right we got a little bit of a difficult situation we hit one heck of a deep nasty slush pocket with about two inches of crust on top of it and so boot high underneath it so there's me I unhooked to make sure I didn't get buried and I'm sitting on top right now but I'm on the crust right there so it's not good so it's holding me right up now I'm gonna walk back see if I can give him a hand donnie's high and dry but he's not in a good spot I'm in the worst spot and my sleds pretty full but not too heavy but you could see where I you could see where I had to do a little bit of work right there with the shovel John's in trouble over there trying to get to you Bob I'm trying to get to you but I'm struggling yeah I'm high and dry but I'm still on top of nasty stuff yeah me too I thought you were coming over to talk to me oh is that what you were doing yeah I wonder how far this goes for yeah I'm wondering what I'm gonna do for my sled if I'm gonna hook a rope to it I'm thinking Donnie's probably gonna be all right to go to punch it straight ahead isn't he oh yeah yeah no I'm up on top I think I'm fine in this stuff if I'm not towing yeah me too alright here's us here's a trail right here this is where somebody else came through it's frozen if you get on this you can go that way you gotta get you but you got about 25 feet you got to get oh maybe not yeah take her easy yeah yeah yeah no like what are you saying we could get that in the morning oh no no that the tow sled yeah man you got nothing here we might have to break it all and you might just have to slush run it all right well we got to get this we got to get this little thunder out I'm glad it's a little thunder I'm sitting dry but I'm not safe yet till we get on high ground yeah I just got to get all this out from in front of your track but how do you want to do this the rail sit down take it easy I guess try to pack behind it see if it went in reverse a little bit did it yeah we could dig it out behind it I can get on it I guess well no you're about the same size me you've got some weight on you oh yeah well I walked out of the first hole if it weren't for the snow drift that I think you'll walk out of this one if you can just step in front of them if you could just where that mound is you could step or dig it you want to try it want me to do it walk her out of there okay the two of us can't lift that back in the slush right I don't know I dig it out more if we even thought about it that's probably all slash I got a tow strap I can go check I'm almost wondering if we don't there's no way we get you up turn around right now go that way okay we ain't home yet you're freed up right now right yeah you should have five feet of good run ahead of you I shoveled it out yeah I don't know worrying about that right now come on baby I think he's good mine's up on top I got my order here I don't know what I'm gonna do about that I might see what I can do about it that's kind of what got got me I think when I got under all right he made it want to make sure this one's not frozen in for the night and then there was one leave that's gonna freeze in that's up on top let's see if I can get out of here yeah I'm sitting on bad stuff I hope I get some motion first I'm almost thinking I could pull your thing off why don't we just wait till the freeze up do you think it'll freeze it's gonna go well freezing tonight is it every night this week forecasted like 17 20 it'll be a lot hotter in the morning than it is right now yeah I mean I don't know how you can get back to him I think I thought with this right now but it's towing it out trouble if you get if we get pinned again we're right back square one yeah I mean I'll get up in the morning sled over here we come straight to the south end here it ain't gonna take long we'll get over here and poke our way around see what we think yeah I'm hoping our own trails freeze yes they should they're wet enough or you got a lot of ice on the beam yeah imagine that'll clean out on the right home though all right so we're gonna leave all the stuff I don't think we should attempt okay rescue tomorrow and see if it freezes up better yeah believe anybody gonna bother oh I'm not worried about that one bit they ain't no one else can get it out of there if we can't right well I just what I'm worried about is it's we're losing daylight yeah and if we sink again and gotta spend another hour to get now you're getting over just back to here again we're this far we have to say we go back we do our routine we get a good meal we get up in the out of bed in the morning we know first thing you can do is go over and get off the dog sled yep sounds good that's our mission and then from now we decided what the rest of the day is gonna bring yeah and see what that 40 degree day does to the lake yeah I heard it's supposed to be 40 tomorrow we might be just riding the bunny trails around the village looking for wildlife and going to small camps and we're fishing right in the cove again if it doesn't slush up yeah yeah this is quite an adventure it's all part of the game boys it's all part of the game all right all right we made it back not not the worst in my opinion once I got my sled I unhook the the anchor wasn't too much weight in it but what happened was there's about probably 14 inches of slush underneath like an inch and a half across so if you break through and your rails are you know 12 or 13 inches like this and this slush is there if your rails are sitting up off and the track can't touch anything it's just gonna spin so that's what happened to me so I ended up jumping on the rails pushing some of that snow down and mine jumped right out and then once I got once I got her moving anytime I hit slush I'd punch it and it would just left up and go so I want to go back and get my sled but the guys are totally against it they didn't want me to mess around because dark is coming pretty soon and it's supposed to we're thinking it's gonna get cold tonight we're gonna check on the interweb he's get he can get service through the satellite to see the weather for tonight but other than that we left a pile of gear out here on Chazun Cook Lake I got three four about five thousand dollars worth of stuff sitting on the lake and I don't think anybody's gonna take it I promise you that I'm not worried about that at all I just wanted to go cusk fishing right now I can't go cusk fishing cuz my that's alright cuz my auger's out there everything's out there traps are out there everything so we ain't cusk fishing tonight I guess but whatever the bait the trout everything's yeah our breakfast is out there we left out in the purge we're gonna show you guys the brook trout we caught today and I don't even think you guys have seen the brook trout yet so it'll be there tomorrow we'll eat it for breakfast tomorrow John's gonna hook up to the satellite and check on the weather and make sure it's gonna get cold tonight if it's not I don't know maybe we'll take this boat out with a couple paddles and get get to the sledge mouth but I got probably I think I have about 30 foot oh no I got 50 foot a cable and probably a hundred foot a rope and then maybe another rope for another hundred foot so if we got to make a rope out there where we're golden I got enough rope to go from here to Jiro right there you do watch that's what we pull moose out with oh yeah I got some rope shoot well I got rope I think I could get us right to the hot pack of the rope I got it's from wow old Lyman ropes when I worked for Lucas tree so we might be doing that then it's probably yeah but if it if it does freeze tonight and get cold those tracks where we broke open are gonna actually freeze the stuff the other slush believe it or not will never freeze underneath the top if it if it's not broken open if it's broken open it will freeze it's just this weird phenomenon with slush but I don't know if it's because that's where the boys fish yesterday or if there's water coming down the stream on top or just the snowpack on top pushing the ice down if that that's what's making the slush but not good yeah John was I'm worried I've never seen him so worried my wife I thought it was a little bit too soon getting home so I just wanted to snub us up a little bit so we could look around you were you got admit it you were a little bit nervous yeah but I didn't lose my cool when Donnie took off oh you know when he saw it when he broke through I thought he was done he knows I just revved that sucker right up and he just crawled right through that that tundra was something else it did crawl right now yeah well you John's going no no no no no that Donnie pops out on dry land he goes he goes frigging legend he goes what a legend so if we didn't make it out Donnie could at least get us home we could have we could have crawled out donnie would have got us home and help probably two and a half miles to walk across yeah we got here by morning so Donnie upgraded his sled this year Donnie now tell me if this thing ain't worth every penny you made double after that yeah that was the first one on dry land and he even did it hauling a tow behind but this thing hauled so easy yeah yeah at least we got that home today yeah so now we can go sit in the shack and dream about cusp mission yeah we can't do it today I have 36 28 for low tonight so only four degrees below freezing but it's gonna be better than right now though because it was warmer today I mean guys that's not the best thing I've ever heard right there no it's calling for 28 above 28 degrees tonight as a low a little wind though yeah so usually if it says 28 it'll probably be 20 you know they're never right well when we head over here I'll tell you we'll have a couple hundred yards of rope with us yeah well get all we got to do is run a rope out hook it to it and go like hell up the shoreline so we get it off of that show off you got another sled you got another tow behind to throw the rope and stuff in or well we'll just throw that throw all the ropes in the boat and then we'll tell the boat home behind everything else I mean I got a boat full of ropes nice get some ropes we'll go get them tomorrow sweet yeah we'll just go up there with snowshoes with ropes and hook them to the sleds and run right up the shoreline till they're safe yep yep that's that easy guys so that's that's the worst case scenario is we snowshoe out hook up with a thousand yards of rope that's the worst case best case is I try it with my snowmobile and don't get buried yeah but here's the other kicker that I'm actually happy I'd love to stretch the ropes out because we hauled moose with out with them in a friggin rainstorm in the mud and they never got clean the people clean them when they brought them back to me yeah I could use a nice snow cleaning yeah supper be fresh do it in the morning no we just up to me I'd I'd get supper ready no I think we should do it yeah we went and got it tonight we could fish tomorrow but we'll be the one out we won't fish tomorrow is my feeling yeah yeah well we can wait donny once you walk us through what's happening around this path what I'm trying to do is to get a meatloaf going it's a venison meatloaf and what I've done is put the venison in the bottom cracked open two eggs put that in put some parmesan cheese I'm in the process of putting in onion right now then I'm going to add a little rich crackers to this whole thing I've broken up pieces of bread I'm gonna knead this all together with some ketchup and then I'm gonna put it in a these little tray things and we're gonna cook it in a Dutch oven on the wood stove beautiful and I'm gonna have mashed potatoes does everybody like garlic here yeah I like I'm gonna make some scrunchians to go in the mashed potato and scrunchians I learned made in Newfoundland when I went to Newfoundland and every restaurant we went in they had scrunchians on the menu and I said what the heck is scrunchians and the waitress says we cut up pieces of salt pork into little cubes we fry it so it's crispy and a lot of people use it on their vegetables and especially in their potatoes so I'm gonna fry up a little bit of garlic and do the same kind of thing if you want to add it to your potatoes but we'll see how that comes out scrunchians that's what they call it in Newfoundland well scrunchians and look at the little puppy dog done my parents have a little they have a little fake one of them yeah this is the identical thing but half the size that they put next to the the wood stove she done all right what are we gonna do fillet fish oh the old the old slush magnet would not have made it out off the lake if I had the old slush magnet she'd be sitting right there but this thing's just a this a beauty I walked her right out low gear and I love it yeah yeah I made it about five feet and she dug in and I said well I'm going down I said I'm going down and when I went down hit the gas and she just lifts up so so what do we get going here what's this math I don't know where all these came from I guess we probably had to clean them up it's warming up yeah that cost is probably over 24 ain't it well yeah I got a measuring tape this little tiny matching set I found I'm like this is I've got I've got one matching set that's like my favorite ever it's my first set I've ever found I got it while I was literally on the trap line yeah and then I found a matching set this year that are awesome and then I got these that are just that's the smallest palm-aided matching set I've ever seen yeah I'm pretty pretty excited about them that hot it's gonna be just good the potch it's hot can you believe I got a potch it's over the bushes to it and awful gamey yeah now these will rehydrate tomorrow if we pack them in the snow yeah and they'll be just beautiful there won't be no slime when you get them home you might have dig a little bit more of that bloodline yeah let's put a measure in the rice all of them or just oh what about this brook I'm just curious how long we got one twenty six twenty three and a half twenty three long yeah but not fat got twenty six had the belly on it like you already look like an old bat yeah once they hit about twenty five they start going different direction yeah yeah I put the beer to me I put it to me all the time but that's when it started sticking around my barrel I got no excuse oh he's got something in there we check it out yeah I wonder what they've been eating down watch out for a hook okay I ain't going in the good when I ought to obviously you good do you fish today how'd you do any size like three four pounds you said under the ice yep every told us yeah worked in that yeah crazy well we had a we had an adventure our sleds with all our gear didn't make it back we went over where you fished yesterday burry there all the sleds stack snowmills buried oh yeah in the slush yeah yeah it's deep now that's good yeah yeah we fished right on the edge of the slush because we got stuck and then we had to pull oh you did oh yeah I knew it slush over there but how did uh how was Jamal was a slushie no it was bad at all oh good yep you guys make it to the trains yep they didn't fish good for you there's like three flags it's kind of slow but yeah we were pretty slow we caught a couple Brookies by accident only one perch yeah yeah couldn't find I think that's a brookie fishery over there autopsy do you know John was a professional meat and cutter for 10 years 18 18 years and your smell smell oh yeah look at them two three smell crayfish there's your honey hole put that on bottom and wiggle him save that another one on your on your bait no way that's awesome that makes me so happy that's epic we gifted you some hot bait and you turned it into something about a ball am I yeah we used to get them by the fire down back it on the north branch and boil them just like crazy just like they do the oh that's so cool you got it on that was he running like a Sam oh my god isn't it crazy over there if you're packing up to is the last flag it went off I just went over there to school old master main bushman went up to look at the church and found out that the pot just bombarded the window so we're gonna see if it's fit to eat he broke a window he's gonna pay for his transgressions towards the church as Bob Johansson said there isn't anything goes on in that village that Johnny Moore doesn't know about that was his exact words really well I don't know if it's soft enough no we gotta wait till tomorrow it's too hard action set of moves antlers pretty sick hanging right up mountain yeah I did gotta put a male and a female about five pound brook trout he wouldn't see the air it's trout oh you could curl it across them all right maybe a three pound you're gonna start you know you're gonna start down here I feel pretty honored that I reached up to you boys and you came up and fished with me I'm having a time yeah we're glad you like I thank you for the invite this is great see what I mean though we don't have to catch fish to be happy I plowed the pocket a lot I got everything all done made up Donnie and I are just as happy just having adventures every day oh that was an adventure yeah but today listen we got to go fish I don't care if I'm blindfolded to see the old trapping shack yeah somebody got to find a set of antlers just yeah just to see something new we caught a couple brookies we got to see the dog taking nose dog dog took nose dives her pride was her first thing at least donnie's kept it upright today tell the folks at home who this dog is this is this is Sadie May and she's pushing 13 years old Sadie she's ridden 4200 miles on a snowmobile she's been bucked out at least 11 times that I know of wow and I just she wants to stay home and sleep but I won't let her go to sleep yeah so donnie took a nose dive yesterday Sadie took one today it's you and me tomorrow but yeah yeah be careful and we have one hell of a mission broken and rigging out some gear as you guys saw we had to leave a lot of gear on the ice so we got a plan for tomorrow plans are like opinions yeah exactly we all got one they all stink or something like that but we'll see how the we'll see how it goes tomorrow we got a couple different options we got a young fellow a couple houses down the village is pretty eager to come out too so we might send him out first but we got we got some snow shoes we got a oh we got all sorts of stuff okay but we've waited long enough for this dinner we can't wait much longer that's for damn sure are those grungians or grungians grunt these are scrunchians scrunchians see how nice they holy cow that's pretty good I could sell those so you know try to keep the oil separate but when you put them on your potato is that what you do yeah I mix them right in with the mashed potato just try it it's garlic mashed potato yeah edible well and you know the guide was pretty stingy with getting the hot dogs out of his freezer so we're pretty hungry yeah you got a lot we need a place to put that how about Kirk and Kurt's good idea he can skin idea but he's if you like a good wedge cut on your back straps you want to go see Kurt well that he is the man Kirk and skin a fire oh yeah he's a skin he's a mule skinner from way back yeah he's who you said he's what the second best meat cutter you've ever second best meat cutter I've ever seen yeah that's pretty honorable this is gonna be the tenderness meatloaf I think we've steamed it steamed it that you gotta put your plate right here so tender it's gonna come out in pieces that's how it's gonna come out the morning might work tonight yeah we might be up tonight there's a touch light in the other house just hit it all right Donnie thank you so much you gotta try something tell the viewers how it is if it's edible or not he's out done himself you know not bad for a guy that I thought was gonna be sunk right in the slosh out there about 300 yards from you saw how I did right through that stuff like that's the second best meatloaf I've ever had room yeah yeah I make a pretty good meatloaf that's pretty good yeah it's made with the dear meat garlic garlic and what I'm a John yeah I can cheese they call that the business yeah
