One scene of winching the ATV out of the muck, all in I think I had to winch seven or eight times. When you get into the sphagnum moss sometimes the bottom gives way and you start sinking into the pete bog. I spent upwards of four hours winching about 300 yards. Like I said, only put one session of that in the video, otherwise it's all that would have fit!

One of the most wicked widow makers I've ever seen. Seriously, a very large burl caught my eye and while I was admiring it I noticed the 50' Birch tree arching over and just waiting there for the right wind.

Some still images of edibles, and not edibles, large American Basswood trees. Some stuff I couldn't identify, lunch and some footage of just how damn dense these woods get sometimes.

One of the clearings I hit was nothing but sphagnum moss, Tamarak pines and Labrador tea, literally hundreds and hundreds of yards of the stuff in every direction.

Lunch was a Old El Paso Tortilla Stuffer, mesquite chicken & rice. I forgot who it was but someone at bushcraftusa.com suggested these last year. Props to whoever that was, it's pretty good stuff. $2.50, chicken chunks, spanish rice, corn, beans, spiced up. Dumped it into my pot and heated it up. Wasn't bad, better than MREs that's for sure.
