Sub-zero temperatures and a hard hike in with snowshoes. Funny how as time passes, you forget all the hard work and effort, and remember the fond memories of time well-spent in the snowy wild. Come on along for the memory with Nutnfancy, Cr0cket20, and the faithful Allie the Mountain Dog.///////////////// Awesome Music licensed from a cool TNPr: www.youtube.com/user/bryanisms

This is one of the hiking trips I had while I was at Bob Jones. I love these girls, and these trips refreshed a much troubled soul. I’m so blessed to have had this girls in my life at that hard time in my life, and I’m so blessed that they were willing to go at lengths to do things like this for me. haha They did think I was stupid when I found out that I was hiking and climbing waterfalls with mono.

Leave the push-button world behind and come on along for a Nutnfancy backpacking trip. It seems like it’s always a sacrifice to peel away from the world and make it out to my wilderness places. Messages pile up, phones go unanswered, emails fill the inbox, and careers are put aside for awhile. But it’s always worth it and it creates one of those special memorable experiences. I do my best in this series to share it with you. As I mention in many of my vids, a wilderness backpacking adventure is one of my top recommended ways to make memories with your friends and family, instill wilderness confidence, learn about your gear (and yourself), and to “depussify” your children. That’s because it’s hard work and requires planning and lots of effort. Here we hike in about 7 miles on what soon becomes a snow covered, hidden trail. As shown, wading and post holing through 4 foot snow banks will wear you out, especially at high elevations. The upside to to this difficulty was the complete isolation we quickly achieved on this trip; we saw no one else in the three days we were up there and we owned the basin (though in warmer days this is a very high use area). With a steady but deliberate pace we reach a gorgeous high mountain lake, still partially frozen from the long winter. It is serene and beautiful. On the trail in this Part 1 of “Summer Snow Actual” I discuss trekking poles, backpacks, boots, gaitors, teaching your kids to hike, dog training, and other backpacking subjects. LastSuspect, my youngest son, steps up to the challenge and with very little complaining, turns out to be a great hiking companion for Allie and I. Next part: we reach the lake and establish the Nutnfancy Base Camp! ////////////////// Music: Kevin MacLeod

Retrieving a Hummer from the bottom of a frozen lake in North Dakota…
Uncle Frank was out ice fishing with his family and they drove over a part of the lake that has warm springs under it(there were no markings or warnings) and the front end went through the ice. Frank and his family were able to get out quickly before the entire thing went through the ice narrowly escaping.
Thankfully no one was hurt but it was a close call.
2 days later he had to return to get the Hummer from the bottom of the lake. It is the law that you must retrieve the vehicle. It was covered by insurance.
We had no idea how to get a vehicle from the bottom of a frozen lake so I went along to document it. It was quite a process as you will see.
I am used to living in Los Angeles so I had a lot of trouble being in that extreme cold.
Grandpa was drilling holes to ice fish while we waited and he worked up quite a sweat.
