The Way To Native Chronicles

If war looms and other forms of global disruption enter the realm of possibility, hunters and outdoors people tend to think differently than others in terms of what to do. Everyone's approach should be guided by where their strengths and weakness lie and, in order to do that, they first have to know what is needed. After that, an honest assessment will tell most people they would be simply doomed if all the infrastructure we take for granted were suddenly lost. So is it then hopeless? Perhaps not. How to compensate for what you lack (while helping others at the same time) is what this video will consider. Originally, this video was made in reaction to the Russia/Ukraine conflict of 2022, but the basic premise that wars erupt at other times will always apply. Hopefully the invasion of Ukraine gets resolved without becoming an international conflict.

This is a short excerpt from the "Burning Brush Piles On a Northern Trapline in -30°" video, posted separately because of its special, inspirational character. You get a good feeling from watching something it; the remoteness of the location, the stillness and enveloping blanket of night that focuses you on the work at hand.

We were in the north country in February with -30° C temperatures (-20° F) and heavy snow loads, plus a contract in our hands to burn hundreds of brush piles situated on our trapline. I had rounded up a crew consisting of my son, grandson and one other guy to head up there. When we finally made it to the trapping cabin we had a nice, warm place to sleep at night and then spread out from each day. The boys got straight to work, eager to burn stuff. Our main machine for getting around was a 2004 Skidoo (Summit model) with a custom 174" track and large paddles. It handled the 3 to 4 foot deep snow well. You will catch some nice scenery in this video, including some dramatic night shots as the piles are lit and burned.

Not the usual fare for this channel, but I thought some might appreciate this bit of background. Our main destinations have been British Columbia, Yukon Territory, Alaska, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Montana, Idaho, Washington, North and South Dakota... the works! We averaged 20-30k kilometers a year for about 20 years, so we miled-up our bikes good. The '98 Roadglide (which I bought new) had 300,000 kms on it when I finally sold it. To save money, we always did maintenance and repair work ourselves and got pretty good at it. Once she turned 68, Gladys cut way back on riding, for safety reasons. I still ride. Not as much as before, but that's only due to my time being taken up with other pursuits. We have a lot of good memories as a result of our years of riding together.

This is a brief departure from the channel's usual focus. Many of our viewers are in America, so I will try to provide some insights into what is going on in Canada and its trucker protests right now.

My wife spends a lot of time making native crafts the way she was taught by her mother. So much time, I sometimes consider myself as a crafting widower! But she enjoys it and she does make nice stuff that a lot of people keeping asking her to make for them, so it's all good! It's also a great way to avoid wasting the hides of moose we harvest every year; turning them into things worthwhile instead.

Hunting, trapping, saw milling, cabin building, hide tanning, there's a ton of things to do in the outdoors. It doesn't always feel worthwhile at the time, but it's a good idea to capture some of those moments, whether by camera or video, because it adds up and, later, you're always glad you did.

Winter, with its deep snow, comes and you want the best tire possible for traction. What type of tire do you get? For many people, the obvious answer is snow tires, right? Well, just wait a sec... Let's hear what Canadians have to say. If it's traction in snow you want, snow tires may not be your best bet! You may be far better off with tires rated as "all-weather." This video explores this topic, coming up with results that may surprise you. Is it possible you are wasting your money and getting less traction using dedicated snow tires than you can get with all-weathers?

Having a set of tire chains can be a game-changer when traveling on questionable roads - especially if the weather is severe and you are in a remote region. Be it snow or slipper clay and gravel, tire chains can increase your vehicle's grip on the road dramatically. Often, on wet clay especially, the danger of getting stuck comes more from sliding off the side of the road. Chains can help a lot with that too. In this video I demonstrate the basics of putting tire chains on. For anyone having chains, simply possessing them is not enough; you should try putting them on your vehicle before you actually need them, just to be sure there are no issues (in my case, I actually did find one of my new chains defective and had to bring it back to the store for exchange). It is also a good idea to put the chains on before you get stuck, not after. As someone once said, "If you ever ask yourself 'Should I put my chains on?' Then put your chains on!" The chains shown in this video are the "v-bar" variety, where spikes protrude outward and provide a good grip on the road. They cost a lot more than chains that do not have v-bars welded on, but are worth it. Quality matters when it comes to chains and there are many makes available. The ones shown in this video are known as, "Light Truck Lightweight Canadian Spec V-Bar Tire Chains." For my LT265/75 R16E tires I selected the V320LWQC size. Be sure to check sizes on tire chain charts before purchasing your set because it's vital you get the correct ones. The chains shown in this video can be seen on the Canadian Tire site here: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/light-truck-lightweight-canadian-spec-v-bar-tire-chain-0301203p.html#Questions Coupling up your tire chains with some sort of "Spider Chain Tensioner" (as shown in the video) is also a very good idea.

When you are in a remote area - with no cell access and nobody in reach to assist - the stakes for getting stuck are raised dramatically. A lot will depend on how you assess the terrain ahead; whether it is traversable or not with the vehicle you are using. As a rule, the more inaccessible the region is, the more conservative your judgement should be. But you also don't want to be turned away too easily. The decision on whether to proceed or not can be vexing. This video show what, for me, is about as much risk as I'm inclined to take on, given the location. Others might differ on that assessment. So check it out and see if I got stuck, whether I was correct or not!

Interested in seeing what 2 guys, 2 ladies, 3 quads and a portable, gas-powered winch can do? In this video we drag a 12' x 16' cabin one kilometer through mud and muskeg to get it from one trapline (someone else's) to the other (our own). Wet conditions not permitting the use of a truck, we overcome many hurdles along the way, but got the job done anyway. You will probably find this video quite enjoyable. If you spend time driving through remote areas or need to drag out things like logs or moose from the bush, you may want to consider getting the gas-powered winch shown in this video. It's product called the "PCW3000 Gas-Powered Pulling Winch."

This video - part 2 of a previous one showing how to make your own shooting table - takes things to the next level. Now that you have your shooting table made, how do you carry it around in disassembled form, doing things like loading it in and out of a vehicle? With the weight and pieces of different shapes sliding back and forth, that can be an arduous task. But there is a simple solution.

The techniques required for stopping animal attacks differ from the more common defensive shooting disciplines which focus on human threats. This is because, in the case of four-legged creatures, the target is low and moving very fast towards you. As a result, shooting from a standing position will tend to result in missing high, over the animal's back. This video will help prevent you from making that mistake by demonstrating a more effective shooting stance. The principles passed along take a page from the "Proof Of Proficiency" exam that Canadian law requires handgun users pass before obtaining an "Authorization To Carry" (ATC) permit. Such permits are issued only to persons legitimately employed in wilderness situations, who may need to protect themselves or others from attack by wild animals. The handguns typically used (as in this video) are .44 Magnum and up, which also make different demands on the shooter regarding stance.

This video takes a close look at an unusual Ruger No. 1 - chambered for the .45-120 cartridge - and shares some of the history behind its making and the method of reloading ammunition for it. The .45-120 was a cartridge developed near the end of the buffalo hunting era (the one in the "Quigley Down Under" movie was a .45-110 - classified as "experimental" at that time). In addition to the custom chambering, this rifle also has a hand-made stock and custom engraving with gold inlay. In spite of those visual enhancements, I use this rifle the most for hunting moose, deer and bear (it works very well). The smokeless load I developed gets the 535 grain cast bullet going to about 1,600 fps; facilitating a fairly flat trajectory (which is what I want when hunting). Due to the incredible strength of the Ruger No. 1 falling block action and the large case capacity (originally designed for black powder), I could easily make this load more powerful than a modern .458 Winchester Magnum, but that would be more punishing than is necessary for my purposes. The rifle weighing about 11 lbs, with a muzzle velocity of 1,600 fps applied to the 535 grain, the recoil comes in at about 33 ft-lbs, which is not too bad.

The compact Mares Leg rifles receive a bit of attention as possible solutions for protection in the bush, but there's doubts about whether you can hit anything with them, so here's a simple demonstration to give an idea. This one is chambered for .44 Mag using 245 grain cast bullets ahead of 24.0 grains of 4227 with muzzle velocity of 1,640 fps, so plenty of punch for a little rig.

This video examines a frustrating jamming problem rifles with top-loading magazines are prone to and how to avoid it. The rifle used in this example is a Winchester Model 670 chambered for .243. Caveat: Rifles that have claw extractors (like the pre-64 Winchester Model 70's and 98 Mausers) must feed the cartridges from their magazines. With those guns you cannot manually load a round in the chamber and then close the bolt over top. Instead, you have to feed the round in from the magazine.

Since I wanted to make a couple of sets of these, figured I'd pass along what I learned while doing it, in case it's of use to someone else. Costs practically nothing to make, so no harm in making more than one set in different lengths. DISCLAIMER: My videos are strictly for documentary, educational, and entertainment purposes only.
