plan on getting there early. And the first thing you do when you get there on one of these ice fishing trips is not go fishing, is not get there late and talk to everybody at the bait shop and all that stuff, get set up, get prepared for the night because while we plan for trips to go super smooth and nothing to go wrong, I'm gonna tell you right now, things are gonna go wrong and things aren't always gonna be smooth. I made a big mistake last time and it cost me a good day, day and a half. It could have cost me a lot more but I got super lucky and was able to get out of the mess I got into. You know, if you're doing this alone, if you're doing it solo, if you're doing it with a buddy or if you're doing it with not much experience, plan for things to go smoothly, plan the best you possibly can but expect things to go bad, expect there to be failures, expect things to go happen wrong, maybe your snowmobile breaks down or whatever machine you have, maybe you get hurt, maybe it's 50 degrees colder than you thought, maybe the wind starts blowing, maybe slush comes up in the middle of the night like five inches while you're sleeping happened to me. And it's really important to keep a level head and in situations like that more than ever is don't panic, think, take time, think, think of what you need to do, think of how you're gonna make your situation better and make it better. Cause I'm gonna tell you right now, it's not always gonna be easy and sometimes it's never easy. Have fun out there, have a great time and leave it in the comments where you're going and if you've had a good time or if this video helped you or if it even inspired you to go out and do it yourself, that's half the reason I do this stuff is I love helping others and inspiring others and if I have the ability to do that, you guys do too, try it yourself, it's so much fun. What's up guys, Joe Holland here. I've been doing a ton of winter camping ice fishing, having an absolute blast at it. I'm gonna answer all the questions you guys have in this video right here so you can do it yourself if you want to. I'm gonna give you all the tips, tricks, tell you about my mistakes, tell you about things that have worked for me and everything that's made my trips way more enjoyable. This is all the stuff I need for a winter camping trip right here to have a nice, comfortable time. The challenge and the adventure of camping anytime is awesome and I loved ice fish so there's nothing better to me than putting the two together and doing an ice fishing trip and a camping trip. It's so much fun and there's so many pros, there's also some cons to it, there's positives, negatives to anything in life and let's go over some of the things that I can think of for pros and cons to winter ice fishing camping. Two of my favorite things about it is I save time by just staying on the lake. I'm already on the lake, went on there, went on camping and there's nothing better than waking up, setting your traps, coming back into camp or waking up and just going from the lake to whatever part of the lake you're gonna be fishing. A lot of times when I started this, I was driving like an hour to an hour and a half to the lakes that I wanted to fish and I might do it two or three days in a row and it just didn't make sense wasting an hour and a half to get there, an hour and a half to get home three hours a day, you're totally pooped after ice fishing hard all day. You gotta get up an hour and a half earlier in the morning than you would if you were camping right on the ice just for that drive and you're spending the gas, you're putting wear and tear on your vehicle. A lot of time you're taking chances, I almost had a really bad accident last year. I wiped out the trailer from the snowmobile camera and I'll smack the side of the truck on black ice that I just couldn't see when I was traveling to an ice fishing lake that I would not have had if I was already staying on that lake overnight. Those are like my favorite positives about winter camping right there. Those are a couple of them. Now if you're traveling to do these trips or going to these big lakes or going long distances too, you're gonna need somewhere to stay. So that's why I love being on my own, setting up my own place to stay rather than paying for a hotel or paying for a motel or something like that. Now I know it's a lot more comfortable at a hotel or motel, but being on the ice is just so much better to me and it's a lot, you save a ton of money. I know there's an initial investment to buy a tent. You're three to $500 in depending which one you get. You got a cot, sleeping bag, you cook stuff. So there's a decent amount of money right here right now with the heater and everything else, but you figure that's what, three, four nights in a hotel, maybe as many as six and then you own the stuff. So that's another reason why I really like to do it. I'm also big time into challenges. I love challenges in life, whether I don't care what it is. I just love a challenge. I love testing myself, seeing what I'm made of, going against the elements, making, going against hard stuff and then seeing how I come out, trying to prevail with a well-balanced mind and make it through any obstacle that I can. The other things are, it's fun. It's peaceful really when you're out on these lakes is super quiet. You're already at the fishing spot.  I do the opposite a lot. I go to these super wilderness spots or really far away spots where there's no people, which I do enjoy. I spend a ton of the year with people and I love people, but sometimes I just love being alone and isolated in different spots to kind of see what I'm made of too. And the last couple of things are, you make a lot of memories when you're doing this. I remember the trips a lot better when I stayed on the ice than when I went for a couple of days and traveled back and forth or stayed at a hotel. And if you wanna try to figure out a lake, there's nothing better than living on that lake for a week and trying this cove and trying that cove and trying over there or deeper, shallower. It just seems like it's so much easier if you already have your stuff here than if you're driving to different areas of the lake each day with a vehicle. Some of the negatives to this are the cold, the elements, the weather. Like those are things that you do have to plan for. You have to try to watch the weather as much as you can so you don't get yourself into a bad situation. There is a lot of gear, so you have to have a way to get it out there whether you're pulling it by hand behind you or the sled or you're bringing a snowmobile. So you're bringing more gear than just a regular fishing trip. So that's something that you have to think of with the cot, the sleeping bag, the table, the cooking stuff.  So that could be viewed as a negative. A couple other negatives are it kinda locks you into a spot on a lake if you can't travel that much cause you have your gear there. In Maine, I have no worries. The sportsmen are all amazing. I could leave this thing set up for a month and not worry about losing any of my gear. But if I wanna fish six or seven miles away, I don't really pick up the tent or move it. So that's kind of a little negative thing is just leaving your stuff behind. It locks you into an area. But to me, all of those cons or negatives are way overshadowed by the positives. I love doing this as you can see and I love the challenge of it and it just makes it so much more fun to do that.  Other than the normal items that you see here that you can buy in a store like the tents, the cook stove, the heater, the cot. The number one thing that has made this so much more comfortable for me is the floor. A friend of mine built this for me and it's awesome. This is one inch pine boards with one inch strakes underneath it. It's four pieces so I can get it in and out of my truck basically and to the lake easier. And what it does is it keeps things dry in here. Once you get it dry, it stays dry. You have a nice floor to walk on. You can walk around your socks if you want to, if you haven't dragged much for snow in. It really keeps the temperature up because basically you're sleeping on a large ice cube when you're sleeping on the lake. So having a nice dry hard floor has made my trip so much easier and so much more comfortable. They make rubber mats that lock together like puzzle pieces now. Those are awesome too from what I hear but for me, I like the hard floor. It's a little bit of a challenge getting the hard floor in and out. It's a little bit heavier than if you didn't have it but it's well worth it to me to take a second trip, bring it in, put it together and then it extends my stay and makes things so much nicer and more comfortable. Another thing I bring that's in the tote is a carbon monoxide detector. These buddy heaters don't put out carbon monoxide apparently and they have low oxygen shutoffs. They have tip over shutoffs. They have sensors. I run my carbon monoxide detector right next to my head just in case like the one pounder leaks that's hooked up to my cook stove. I don't take that off every night. Once I get it tight, I leave it or just in case for some reason the big buddy heaters put that out. So that's a good safety precaution. They're under $40 at the Home Depot.  This is not a minimalist camping trip. I take a lot of flak in the comments that hey, why do you bring too much stuff or you bring too much stuff or what do you think can bring in that much stuff? Not a minimalist trip. These are tough conditions. You're talking 20 below zero. You're talking slush snow, wind and no breaks at all with the weather. I don't wanna put myself in a situation that makes it even harder than it already is. So don't make it a minimalist trip. Bring the stuff that's gonna make you comfortable. It's gonna make it a fun trip for you. You know your comfort level better than anyone else. I have a super, super, I guess low comfort level or high comfort level. I don't know which way you wanna put it. The cold doesn't really bother me too much. I'm super lucky that way. I don't mind being wet that much. Wind bothers me a lot, slush bothers me. But for the most part, I know where I'm gonna be comfortable and what's gonna make me comfortable. Know that for yourselves, bring the gear. Don't worry about bringing too much gear. Even if it's in the truck, you could always go get it out of the truck. I always bring an extra propane canister. I always bring extra gasoline. I always have extra blankets, extra clothing, all that stuff in the truck in case I need it or I even bring it in the tent with me. Don't make it a minimalist trip. Make it a comfortable trip. I bring a first aid kit. It's got burn cream. It's got stuff for cuts. It's got neo-sporin. It's got stitches even if I have to go as far as stitches and it's got bandages. So prepare for that. Always prepare for the worst. Expect the worst. Hope for the best. Bring a first aid kit if you can. A couple things to consider also with comfort is bring some food. Bring some good food. I know it's a fishing trip and you're planning on catching a lot of fish. But bring things that make you happy. Bring some stews, some soups, some deer meat if you had a good deer season or moose meat or bear meat or turkey or partridge or whatever you were able to harvest from the land and bring good comfort food. Bring like a chicken noodle soup or tomato soup or something like that. Grilled cheese. I don't care what it is. But bring something that's gonna make you comfortable for food too. To me, comfort, food, being warm enough. Those are a couple things that are really comfortable and make for a good trip. Get yourself a good bed that's comfortable to sleep on. Something that is light enough, small enough to travel with, but strong enough so you're gonna be comfortable and have a good night's sleep. Don't cheap it out on your heat source.  I'm gonna probably try that next year a little bit. I haven't decided yet. I have no problems at all with a buddy heater. So no sense messing with that. You know, a good two burner stove. Get yourself a good tent that's big enough. This is the 450I outbreak from Eskimo. Big enough for two people in my opinion. You can go bigger, but I don't think I'd go smaller for two people. And honestly for one, I wouldn't go smaller than one as you can see with my comfort level. I'm a big guy, but to have a chair, table, all the gear, all my ice fishing gear, all my camera gear, this is a good size tent for me. So make sure you're comfortable. Spend the money on the good stuff that lasts this quality and you won't have to buy it every year, every couple of years. I bring extra tie downs for every corner of this building. I've had to tie it down before. Two tie downs on one side. The wind was so hard. There's nothing worse than a wall blowing in and all your stuff flipping over, flipping over on top of your heat source or spilling water or spilling coffee or something like that. Bring extra tie downs, bring extra straps, bring those ropes, those paracords, whatever it takes. One thing I found at least in Maine and especially around the mountains that I fish around is they make their own weather. So when the weatherman says it's gonna be 10 below, expect 20 below. When he says it's gonna be blowing 15 miles an hour, expect 30. But one thing that has helped me on a lot of these trips is I always watch the wind on these big lakes and I'll set up where I'm gonna fish according to where I expect the wind or where I anticipate the wind for the next couple of days. Northwest wind, I'm worried. So I'm setting up to try to block that Northwest wind. East wind, same deal. I'm gonna set up on the East side to try to block that East wind. Watch the weather, pay attention to the weather. It could make or break your trip. Another thing I do on these longer trips is I'll leave a note in my vehicle, especially if I'm parked in an isolated spot or even at a public boat launch. I'll leave a note on my dashboard or tape to my window where they're still gonna be able to read it if we get a bunch of snow. The windshield, they won't be able to read on the dashboard. So I'll tape it to the side window and it'll say what area of the lake I'm on. It'll say what day I'm anticipating coming back. It'll say who I am or even leave a phone number or a phone number where they can reach somebody else if there's a problem. Just in case somebody hits your truck or law enforcement sees your vehicle there and gets a call, hey, this guy's truck's been there three or four days and it's 20 below zero. Nobody's gonna be out there in that. And people are smart, they worry about you. So even if they're strangers, so it's a good idea to leave a note on your truck if you're gonna leave your truck for two or three days in the same spot or a week like I do. Plan your meals out. If you plan on staying for six days, who knows, you might have a breakdown, you might need to stay for eight days. So plan for extra meals, bring extra food, canned food, I've had some of these cans on like six or seven trips that I haven't opened yet. So bring those. I switched over to a lot of the pull-top cans for soups. So one thing I probably own like six can openers because I forget them a lot on these trips and then I gotta buy one at a store near where my destination is. So I switched over to a lot of pull-top cans. So bring a can opener if you're gonna bring cans that need can opening. Don't try to just do it with a pocket knife and get hurt. Have an adequate lighting around, plenty of lighting. You know, I bring a couple headlamps too to have for reading. The fan pushing the heat down is really helpful too. Bring extra batteries for any of the stuff that you need. I have triple A, double A for my headlamps, for the other lights, for anything that might need batteries. I usually bring a handful extra batteries. I bring an indoor outdoor thermometer. It's nice to know how cold it is outside and it's nice to know how warm it is inside or cold it is inside. So I just bring a little digital one that's got like its own wifi or Bluetooth, whatever it is, where they talk to each other. And I set the one outside like 10 feet away from the tent. So that's kind of a cool thing to have that you may or may not think of. Plastic totes and plastic tubs, we all know that. They keep everything organized. So that's another good thing to have. You know, get the right size ones and you could fit a whole pile of them inside and you keep everything organized and that way you know where stuff is like my cooking stuff and spices are in one. So I always know where those are utensils, same thing, food in another, clothing in another. Don't forget your toiletries, your toothbrush, something for wipes. I usually bring baby wipes which are really handy. They work in a pinch for a shower. If you're gonna be out there and you're sweating or you're not sweating or whatever, the baby wipes work really well to clean yourself up, clean your face, everything else when you can't get to a shower. Bring a couple extra trash bags. I use one for clothing and I use another one for obviously for trash and they're helpful. You don't think you're gonna make much trash but man, you always have waste. So I tie one bag up to the leg of the table to put the trash in and then I throw the bag at the end of my bed down by my feet for clothing, dirty clothing. Bring a couple extra things of paper towels if you're gonna do it. Those are nice to have for just cleaning up, use them for the bathroom, use them for whatever you're gonna need but it's always nice to have a couple rolls of paper towels. They pack easy, they're light. I bring sandwich bags, gallon bags too in case I need to store something in to keep it dry. Don't forget utensils. Been a long time since we had to eat with just our hands but it's nice to have utensils. I bring metal ones from home and they clean easy and it's nice eating off a metal one rather than a plastic one. Don't forget your lighters for your camp stove or for if you need it for your heater stove. It's nice to have a couple backup lighters too. These are just a few things that I've learned that you can forget so I'm gonna help you guys out and one thing I do is I make a list and I've actually got a master list now that I just highlight whether I've packed it or not. Make the list, think things through, think of what you're gonna need. My dad has always said one thing that has just resonated with me, it's stuck in my head forever is it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it and that is the truth because you get in the woods, you get on the lake, you don't wanna ruin a trip by having to go home and get something or go to the store to get something and it's so much better just to pack it, have it, never even use it than to need it and not have it. Water on these trips, I usually pack three or four gallons of water, there's enough snow now where I can just melt down the snow. Sometimes it's hard to keep the water from getting frozen but you're gonna go through some water. I go through water with cooking, drinking, coffee and then cleaning up pots and pans every day. You could bring a big water tub that in a metal one that you can set right next to the heater, I just have the little plastic ones, they pack pretty easy. I hope if you're gonna try winter camping and winter ice fishing and combine them that you have an absolute blast like I do, try to stay safe, think of all the stuff that might happen first, try to think ahead that way if you're gonna get in trouble at least you're prepared for it. You guys see me on a lot of these trips that I've taken, if you've seen them or not, you can go back there and watch a lot of the videos. I make a ton of mistakes, I put myself in a lot of tough situations mostly with slosh, mostly with weather but a lot of people don't know that for quite a few years I'd spend three months at a time in the woods completely alone, sometimes not seeing a person for a month. I've been in those bad situations before so if you haven't been in those bad situations, try to really plan for them, anticipate them and then the other thing that a lot of people don't understand is the first trip I took was at a lake right next to my house and I took all my gear out, I wasn't even gonna fish and I just set it up there in case things didn't go well or in case things didn't go well that first night, I had an out plan, I had a B plan and it wasn't one of these solo wilderness trips way up in the woods, 15 miles into the woods, 100 miles from a town that I'm taking now so I would highly recommend your first trip either be on a very close local lake or it be in your backyard or your driveway and spend the night in your tent at home with the comforts 50 feet away in case it doesn't go well or in case you forget something or in case, just to get a feel for it. They always say practice in sports and practice makes perfect or permanent. Well, do the same on a trip like this. Take a trip if you have any fear or worries or if you're inexperienced, take a trip in your backyard the first night and spend the first night in your backyard. You'll still have fun doing it, I promise you that but the nice part is it'll take away a lot of your fears from the trip. We in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we talking about practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game. We talking about practice. In my opinion, there's not a whole lot to fear if you plan for it. So go out there guys, have fun, have a blast. Let me know where you go in the comments. Let me know how much you guys have done this yourself and let's share some tips in the comments. If you're already doing this and there's items that make your trip way more comfortable, put them in there. You know, if there's things that you do that make it way more comfortable or if there's other safety precautions that I'm overlooking, which I overlook sometimes, put those in the comments too. Let's make this about making everybody else's trip and winter camping trip an absolute blast so that everybody has fun doing it themselves. All right, here's a little tip. If you've got the 450I or any of the new ones that have the full size opening door, not the triangle door, but the ones that open through the bottom like this to make a really nice tight fit. I like to close it, zip it up tight first. And then do the door first. And then after that, everything goes together really nicely. Bring in the bigger items first. This is my cot, it's a man size cot. I'm gonna throw a link to this in the description section because I get asked a lot about what size cot I'm using, what cot I'm using, because I'm a big boy as you can see and this thing is rugged, it is plenty big enough for me and it actually fits in this tent really well too. I like to bring the bigger things in first to set them up and it makes it a lot easier when you bring in the smaller things. If you did it the other way, it might make things a little bit more difficult and things would get in the way. Not super easy to set up as you can see, it just opens up like an accordion and it's pretty good size. It fits in here really nice. There's plenty of room, there's extra room for if you're longer, if you're taller than six foot like I am. As you can see, you could fit as plenty of head room, plenty of extra foot room too. And I usually keep it off the walls in case of any condensation and then slide it back and leaves enough head room up here to put a tote with your stuff that you might need in the middle of the night or anything like that. Usually I tuck the tools and stuff that I'm not gonna be using under the bed for the trip and the bag for the tent, stuff like that. So let's get that bed set up. Next is my mattress pad. This one's a gel foam. I feel like it holds a little bit of the heat in which helps a lot. But there it is.   So garbage bags are really good to keep stuff dry, guys. Keep that in mind. Just roll it right out, flip her over, good to go. So I do also own an air mattress sleeping pad too that I just haven't even opened up yet because I really like this gel one. The thing about the air mattress ones is, yes, they're lighter, they pack easier if you're in on like a minimalist trip. But the thing about them is they do go flat sometimes and for some reason in the cold weather, I don't know if the air's dense or what, they seem to go flat quicker. So the gel one never goes flat and the foam one never goes flat. So that's why I switched over to that one. I haven't even been using the other one yet. Next is a sleeping bag. This should also have a garbage bag to fit in it. This one's got a nice outer case. So just that little bit of snout shouldn't bother too much. All right, there's that sock. I was wondering where that sock went. Oh, short one in the laundry this week. So this sleeping bag is absolutely awesome to me, guys. This is one item that you don't want to cheap out on. I know everybody's on a budget, I am myself, but certain things you don't want to cheap out on, certain things you definitely want to spend and you get what you pay for. I know there are a lot of newer sleeping bags that are lighter, go down to 40 below or whatever. This one, a friend of mine's parents got me this because we were doing a lot of camping in high school. So I've had this for a long, long time just to tell you how old I am. This one came from Cabela's. It's a cloth sleeping bag, but it's super heavy and pretty thick and it keeps me really warm. Once I get my body heat going in there, I stay really warm. Very, very important to have a nice sleeping bag. Next, I like to bring a couple extra blankets. These ones right here are wool blankets. That's your army wool blanket. And what I'll do is I'll throw those over like my feet and work my way up with them. Just having that little extra weight there and a little bit heavy weight adds a lot for the insulation. And then I also bring a fleece blanket too that is super soft and it's actually warm. And this thing, I actually just take this and throw it in by my feet inside the sleeping bag. And it seems to hold a lot of warmth for my feet if I'm sleeping with just socks or with bare feet. And it takes up a lot of that space and keeps the heat in. So I throw that in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That's a little trick that has worked for me. All right, on these solo trips, I bring a table. There's plenty of room for at least two cots in here. If you wanna do a two person in the Eskimo Outbreak 450i, definitely plenty of room as you can see. I like to bring a table. And man, the table is just such, it just makes it so much nicer to have a good workspace. There's my table set up. This thing is made by Costco, COSCO. I got it at the Lowe's for, I think it was like $39. It's like one of the best $39 bills I've ever spent because I use it a ton. Whether it's inside or outside next to the shack, it's really nice to have a table when you're ice fishing, trust me. Once you start, you're not gonna ever wanna go without it. Even if it's just for a day trip. Super, super important to have a chair for your comfort for the trip, whether it be for a day or for a month. This is my chair right here. This one I got is the, that is the Trophy Angler. What it is is it has a metal frame which I like, it folds up really nice. It's not too heavy, but it's rugged for a guy my size or for bouncing around in the ice shack. I've used some of those ones from the Wally World that are plastic and they fold out and they're lightweight and they're like stadium seats or whatever they call them. But I've broken so many of those that it's just not worth buying them anymore. So get yourself a good chair, whether it's a fold up like this one or even a standard non-fold up chair. If you could fit it and get it in, it's really worth it to have a nice comfortable chair. All right, now that we have the table set up, let's bring in the cook stove. All right, there it is. That's your standard Coleman. These things do not work without the connector, the propane connector. So as you could see, there's mine right there. I always just tuck it right in underneath the grill when you're done. All I've been using for these week long trips or eight day trips, that's all I've needed is two. I definitely go through one after four or five days and then the other one I leave with still a decent amount of propane in the second one. So I like to bring, I'll bring three or four of those because they're light and they pack easy and I know I'm only gonna use two. Now this is not a source of heat. This will throw out carbon monoxide. So make sure that you have your vent open. I usually keep my vent open when I'm cooking unless I know that I'm getting a lot of oxygen and air in here or if I'm just cooking something quickly. All right, next up is probably the most important thing of the trip other than the tent, the buddy heater. Gotta have a source of heat. Now some people have wood stoves in their shacks. I do not have a wood stove in mine yet. I see a lot of guys doing that. I think it's really cool. I'll probably go that route in the future but I have no problem at all with a buddy heater. This is the big buddy heater. It has served me extremely well, been extremely reliable for over a year now. Highly recommend it. I recommend going with the big buddy heater, not just the regular size buddy heater. This thing puts out 4,000, 9,000 and 18,000 BTUs per hour depending on what setting you have it on. Most of the time with my comfort level being pretty good, I keep it on low and if it's super cold I'll even leave it on at night on low. I've cranked it up to medium like when it's down below 20 degrees and it keeps this place really warm. And then on rare occasions or emergencies or when I need to dry something out or if I'm super cold, I crank it to high but I usually don't last very long on high cause it really rips but it's really nice having that if I need it. First thing you wanna do when you get one of these big buddy heaters is get the hose that comes with it. So that way you can hook it up to at least a 20 pound propane tank. Now I use the 20s just cause they're easier to handle, they're easy to pack. You can get 30s, 50s or 100s if you're gonna be on an extended trip. What I've been bringing is 320s and I've used as many as two before on a trip. Now another tip is I don't like to keep my propane here just cause if there's ever a leak or a fire or who knows what, I'll run that hose underneath the tent and outside to my propane cylinders. Let's get the propane cylinder and hook it up. I bring my propane cylinder in a milk crate. I could use the milk crate to set the heater on top of if I need to or set my boots on it or set my ice fishing traps to dry out or I could just leave the propane can in there. Not righty, tidy, lefty, loosey on these, it's actually the opposite for propane. So these are a left-hand thread. You thread them in left-handed. I bring a wrench with me just cause it's easy. When you buy one of these hoses, it has this thing too that little plastic pieces that can go over the, in most cases, it goes over. Kind of a pain, but it's better than doing it by hand, especially when it's super cold. Well, yeah, there we go. That's good and tight. You could tighten it up with a wrench if you think you need to. If you're gonna put this inside for any reason, definitely tighten it up with a wrench. Maybe even bring some soapy water in a bottle so you could spray it and check for leaks. It'll bubble up if there's a leak. What you do is you push down on the pilot on these, turn it, when you hit a certain spot, it's going to click and that's your igniter. There we go, just like that. Bob is your uncle.  You can push it down and turn it to low, medium or high on the side there. All right, so we just went out. Sometimes that does that when you're first starting up, if you have air in your, if you have oxygen in your hose. There we go. All right, we are on medium right now. Gonna kind of thaw things out in here a little bit so we can shoot the rest of this video as I bring other stuff in. Now that we have our table set up and our stove in there, I'll bring in the cooking stuff. This is my cooking stuff right here. This is basically my kitchen over here. Consider that my bedroom. This is my kitchen, if that's how you wanna figure it out. But I always have a coffee thermos. I love coffee, especially when I'm ice fishing. I bring a percolator, seems to work really well on the ice. That stays on the burner. I'm mostly only using one burner, but it is nice having two if you're doing like soup and a sandwich or something like that. And then in this Tupperware or plastic container right here, I keep all of my cooking stuff. So in this, you'll find some oil, usually frozen, which is fine, it won't leak. Some cooking spray, ketchup, salt, pepper, garlic, some sugars if I ever need them, rubber bands, I don't know why those are in there. And then various utensils and a spatula. So that's my little cooking compartment right there. And then pretty much bringing the rest of the stuff. All right, so on these longer trips, a lot of times you'll see me with two totes. I bring these Walmart totes, they're like five bucks. They're pretty cheap. Sterilite. And then with the two, I usually have food in one. And then various other things that I need around the tent in the other to keep it a nice comfortable trip. So as you can see in this one, I've got my big pan. I like to bring a big pan. This is a fan and a light. This thing is pretty awesome. It's rechargeable. I've been super happy with it. A lot of times the heat will sit in up at the roof. And with this thing, I hang this from the ceiling and it has a light on it, which I don't use the light very much because I have other lights. I'd rather use the battery on the fan part. It is rechargeable, which is a little bit of a bummer. I don't mind the rechargeable stuff at home when I could plug in, but when I'm on the road like this, I do like the, just to be able to swap batteries, bring extra batteries, but it's pretty quiet and it pushes a lot of heat. As you can see, it moves a lot of air. Watch this. It has a hook on the bottom. Hook on the bottom that I hang from my rafter poles. So usually I'll put that over the heat source like this and just hook it on. And then you can move it wherever you want, wherever the heat's sitting. And then this turns to push the heat back down. So a lot of times the heat will be up in here where the difference between the heat from your head level to your feet can be as much as 30 or 40 degrees on these winter camping trips. So if you could push that heat down, it keeps things a lot warmer in here and you're burning less heat too. Other things that I have in this particular one is this is really an important thing and my mom's probably gonna cringe when she sees this, but I bring a pecan. I know it's not a pecan, this is actually a pecan. So I throw that by the bed and at night because I pee in the middle of the night at least once. I know a lot of you guys probably do too. And I know we're not really supposed to be talking about this type of stuff, but I would much rather pee in a can and dump it out in the morning with all my clothes on then you cannot afford to lose the heat that you generate and that you establish in your sleeping bag. So if you're gonna pee once or twice or three times in the night, bring a jug to pee in or a can to pee in and pour it out. Super, super important for me to have a comfortable trip. These are the lights that I use for right now. I know there's some other options. There's some other ones. These seem to be working really well. Let me pull a couple of these out. I got these in like a pack of three or four from the Walmart. These lights are pull lights.  This particular one also has another hook on it. So I hang that from the rafters as well. Just like that, pull it for light. And like one of these will suffice, but if you can get a couple and put them around, maybe have a couple near your cooking station, that helps too. And whereas I got like a three pack on the last ones I bought, it was nice having these little ones too. If you're doing an extended trip, like I do a lot of times, these things are actually pretty cool to have. So they're solar light.  If you are going out at night or if you're up early in the morning, if you're cusk fishing and you have traps set or tip up set at night, these things are really nice to put next to your trap so you can find them easy. And it's also a good thing for safety. If you're out in the middle of the lake or where snowmobiles or a truck might be running around, people might be drinking and snowmobiling. I know there's really good reflectors on the tent, but these things add a little bit more light that you don't have to ever worry about in their solar power. Those came in a pack from Walmart. They were six in a pack for $5. So it's well worth the $5. I bring extra twine, rope, string, all sorts of different rope. You never know when you need it. I've had to tie tarps over this because I've had some pretty bad rain storms and these tents are not good in the rain. That's why you see me with a tarp that I don't think I've used but maybe once on this trip but it's really worth having an extended trip.  So it's nice to have a tarp and something to tie it down with. And if you ever lose your straps, you could also tie it down. You never know what you're gonna need rope for. So it's always a good idea to grab one of these. These are like five bucks at your Home Depot, maybe not even five bucks. And that's quite a bit of that parachute cord. I also bring ropes and I bring smaller twine too. Another thing I threw in here that doesn't take much room, boot laces. I bring one set of boots that need laces. And you never know when you're gonna break a thing of laces, so those are good to have. And you could use them for various other things. Another cool thing, if you have a tent like mine with the little plastic rafters or S hooks, those things are awesome for hanging your lights, for hanging clothes, for hanging various things on. I also do bring clothes hangers and the clothes hangers work really good to hang your jackets up or other clothes and just get them out of the way. Over my feet area, they're never in the way. So that's a good spot to hang stuff is over your feet area. This cooking case that my buddy Scotty and his wife got me from GSI Outdoors is pretty awesome because you see how it packs. It packs pretty small, but it opens up into several different things. Basically all I need, I use a little bit bigger frying pan because I cook a lot of bigger stuff too, but the lid on this thing fits everything inside of it. Could also be used as a plate. Another lid that can be used as a plate. That's your handle for all the items for the pots and the pans. There is a plate in it. All right, so that's the fry pan. It's a non-stick and this thing will lock into it. Oops, I down. Yep, there you go. So that locks into it and there's a nice little non-sticker. Soup bowl right there. Another nice pot to cook soup in. I've cooked stew, soup, various things in that, melted a lot of snow in it. And then the bigger one too.  So it's one, two, three, four, five, six pieces and they can all be utilized. And then my buddy just told me you could use the bag to carry water in. And if you need to do dishes or whatever, you can use that just to carry water in from the lake if you have an ice hole over there or if you're camping and it's not ice season and you're near the lake. So super, super handy. I bring this on every trip as well. And the nice part is all those pieces pack up into one little thing like that. Under the table you can fit two totes really nicely on the one that you're not opening up a lot. I usually set my cooking stuff and extra pots and pans on top of that. And then here's a couple other items that are super necessary at least here in Maine is a decent shovel. I bring a decent snow shovel. This thing has saved my butt countless times in deep snow with a snowmobile but it's also great for using it for fishing, for clearing out camp, for making a nice flat area around camp, for clearing out where I'm gonna put my tent, shoveling walkways, all sorts of things. You never understand how important a shovel is till you don't have one and you're digging by hand or with an item that's not a shovel. So I bring one of those, that's always staying handy with me in camp. I bring at least one axe with me. Normally to be honest with you, I have at least two but it's super, super important to have an axe. This one's like a two and a half pounder. It's full size, it's 28 inch and then I bring a smaller one. I bring the Grand Forest Brooks small forest axe, fits really nicely in my pack basket and that thing's great for working around the brush and stuff but if there's bigger stuff that needs to come down, I'm gonna want something that I can get a good two hand swing full swing on. So I bring a full size axe, a smaller axe, sometimes even a hatchet. All right, this is another item that I just started bringing that's just made things so much nicer around camp and it's something you overlook. If you're on a one or two day trip, don't bother bringing a broom but if you're on an extended trip where you're there seven or eight days and you're in and out so many times and you've got snow conditions or you're even near the dirt or whatever, it really is handy to have a broom, especially if you have a hard floor. So that way you're knocking the water out and you're not creating condensation and creating a lot of wet situations inside. So as you could see, just from me tracking all the snow and it's starting to get wet and then I could just take my handy broom and sweep out the puddles of wet, sweep out the ice and then sweep out the snow and it really makes it nicer at camp because if you don't bring one, this whole door area right there will be just a big block of ice by the end of the week unless you're cranking the heat in here, which I don't crank and it takes up such little room, it's really handy to have a broom. So there's a tip that you might overlook. Spool or rope, you never know when you're gonna need it to either tow somebody out or get towed out. I've been super fortunate and got towed out myself before because I had some rope. Thanks for tuning in guys. Don't be afraid to go back through some of my old videos. I've done a couple in the Allagash. I've done a couple on Moose Head Lake and I've done quite a few of these winter camping trips and I usually set them up day by day and it shows the trials and tribulations of these trips. You know, it's feast or famine sometimes and to me they're a lot of fun. So hope you guys enjoy it. I hope this gives you the confidence to try it yourself and I hope I shorten the learning curve and kind of flatten it out for you so it's a lot easier yourself. Make a list, check it twice, go out there and have fun and let me know how it goes. Thanks again guys for tuning in. Really appreciate a sub on the channel that you guys do. Every time somebody subscribes to me I get a notification. Absolutely honored when you guys sub to the channel or hit that like button or hit a comment. It really helps.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com coming at you with another 2021 top series one jumbo break This is pick your team number 11 all-cardship and looks like we have extra rip party packs to give away So at the end of the break we'll re-randomize or randomize everybody's names. That's on This list right here and the name on top we'll get the Exclusive rip party pack the second name We'll get any of those non baseball related car baseball team affiliated cards, which are basically the History of tops cards, which are actually kind of cool So let's pop this baby open this break should take a just be a shade over an hour, I think to knock out We got schedule in the chat folks check it out We are booked for the night after the after the things already on the site there I'm gonna rip open three jumbo boxes at a time TJ ruin for the cubs because he has the cubs, but we're just talking off off camera before we started the video about Justin Turner Resigning with my Dodgers Which I'm very happy about he's got a lot of intangible leadership qualities He can still hit the ball. I think the power has dropped a little bit Fielding has dropped a little bit But he's still great at third when when he's healthy and I think his His on base percentage is still pretty great And he just has a knack for being clutch in like the playoffs delivering like a clutch play or a clutch hit clutch double Something like that, you know, he's he's got he's got that that X factor. I think which You know, I don't think I don't think the Dodgers are really worried about what what Justin Turner is going to do in the Season, I think they'll just be just fine.  Yes, Cynthia go Dodgers. I'm happy about that Again, I'm gonna open up three boxes at a time. I think the Dodgers are I guess are pretty set for the season then I don't know if there's any Any other big issue that they need to take care. I mean Heavenly Jans is not getting any younger, but I'm I'm thinking that You can see the packs on the top here right there. I'm thinking that they're gonna find that answer internally. I think they're a little Even with Justin Turner, I feel like they're a little lefty heavy I think they want to find a Find some power from the right side and maybe that can come from coming that maybe that Right-handed bad is found internally as well and short of a significant injury. I don't know if they're gonna be making too many moves After this I'd be surprised I think we kind of knew Dodgers kind of knew that Kike Hernandez and jock Peterson would Just the money would just wouldn't work out for them. I think they deserve They deserve a chance to play every day, you know See what they can do just wasn't gonna happen with The team like the Dodgers. I don't know jock Peterson's on a one-year deal with the Cubs, so If he doesn't do all with the Cubs, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers bring him back For a cheap one-year deal They brought back Alex Wood so it's clear that there are players that they kind of like so That's right there. There is Kineville Try and instill there Maybe I don't know maybe Brewstar Gratterall Brewstar Gratterall could be a good closer. Maybe Urius could be a good closer Dustin May could be a closer Yeah, jock Peterson is gonna rake in Wrigley. That's such a tiny ballpark And you know and I He might be able to play every day that might even be a good thing Because the Cubs will probably should play him every day I wouldn't see why you why you wouldn't they should should play him every day so He's gonna hit well against Rides You know and then maybe they'll start him against lefties, too And if you can work on that part of his game that would be huge for him. Good luck everybody. Let's Fly through these here I'll try to everything ships so Don't worry if I miss anything, but I'm gonna try to separate some of these rookies out as much as possible For for you and for the shipping team These are pretty nice, too Vlad Guerrero, Jr. These are manufactured patches, but they look pretty sharp. We've seen some autographed, too That'll be for Toronto. That's gonna be for Justin There's a history or tops card right there. Those will be randomized as one lot to someone in the break So the whole point if you're if you're wondering about these series one breaks pretty much the whole point of these is Is This is one I think this is the first major baseball product of the 2021 season So this is your first look at the rookies of this 2021 class So that's what you're looking for these. They'll be a recap at the end, too So so if you're watching the replay of this and you don't want to watch this whole thing You can skip your video towards the end But basically you're looking for these new rookies and you know like Joey Bart Dylan Carlson right here, too Casey Meis back there, Sixto Sanchez so on and so forth. You want to see these? You want to see those guys and numbered cards like this to 300 we've got Mark Kana, you know the Dodgers and A's made a small move recently a couple days ago What move was that Oliver do you remember it's kind of a Small little move, but with players. I feel like we're familiar I'd look it up, but I had two extra hands and of course the autograph we're looking for I think one in each jumbo There's Zach please act Dan's Dan please X nephew I think for the Indians Henry with the tribe Just a facsimile autograph right there You're also looking for variations to variations will also be flipped around, but they won't be They won't be numbered sometimes you can find some really super short prints to Christian pachet Damn please X son damn please X son There's a gold foil. Have your bias going your way TJ Does he talk about a look and I guess I would too all right. That's the first half of a jumbo box Here's the second half a silver foil for the marriage love love the foil stamp That they put onto these base cards this year. I think it's a it's a pretty sharp design Here's a Christian pachet for the Braves all of those will be going to William Smith The Fresh Prince of Bel Air Here is 334 out of 2021 It's uh, my name is Otto TJ who are we looking for for the Cubs here or who they're They're big rookie this year not me and have you's a year or two ago There's silver foil Chris Mubich and Miguel Sonoma major league material That'll be for the twins Adam with that one you want to help the break along which I appreciate. Thank for a furgy Jenkins auto Okay, okay if we can find feel like Every other every other case or so we'll stumble into a Vet autograph or an old-school Hall of Famer autograph. There's Mount Castle Keeper Ruiz Alec bomb Alec bomb for the Phillies Derek Hamilton will be getting all those Alec bombs Joe Adele angels fans hoping he's gonna be a big deal this year. That would be hashtag good for the hobby Joe Adele does well and this card flipped around like this is a variation. There he is Maybe Miguel Cabrera. These variations are really nice It's a card to 30 there. There are codes right there on the back to see what's the variation Now the tops has helped us out big time by flipping them around. This will go to Detroit go to Yens And if those if those are big rookie names All the short prints could go for a lot or a big name like Cabrera Mike trout super short prints Let me pretty awesome to the fact that there's so many cards obviously in so few variations or so so so few short prints definitely Increase the values of those a lot, especially if you get the right player and we've got a Francisco Lindor to 299 Got a numbered one for Henry and the tribe and we'll get all those sleeve and top-loaded before they go out, of course Just in the in we got a couple other breaks backed up. So just in the interest of time kind of flying through this And we'll do a recap for the for the hits at the end, of course There's the Yankees team card to 2021 and those exclusive silver pack cards that are up there you can see on the top camera Those are pretty Those can yield some really nice things as well. We've got a silver leotid to Varys silver foil Heading out to the Rangers William and here's an autograph for you William Sam Huff No super fractures yet TJ Maybe this case. I don't think Shawn did Shawn. I feel like Shawn would have Would have said if he hit one overnight. So I don't think he did. I think someone would have said Haven't heard anyone say anything like that. I don't think we've even seen and out of I don't know if there's any out of Five I don't think we've seen an out of five Excuse me or even a I don't think we've even seen a printing plate. We've seen Sketch cards though, I think Jason pulled a sketch card and Shawn pulled a sketch card. I think those are like one-of-ones, right? But no no supers and we've got For the twins out of 2021 Byron Buxton Adam and the twins Oh, we're just looking at the sketch card We did get a Mike Trout sketch card from a different break Pretty nice. Yeah Yeah, I'd I'd want to get a job from tops Sketch do sketches for tops make a little side hustle side money there. All right. What is this out of 299? It stars in service Anthony Rizzo. He's usually aren't numbered. It's pretty cool Brandon. What's going on? How are you? nice Alec bomb right here and people are really Really high on him in Philadelphia. It was a rookie of the year finalists last year So the one-of-one TJ saying is called the 70th anniversary card So I'm assuming it'd be it's gonna be obvious, right? Like is this is the same super factor type design? Oh nice Joe Adele gold foil. It's pretty nice for the Halos Brandon just in time Brandon Hey, I am too Brandon.  It's Kyle Lewis. It's Kyle Lewis. You think that they'll pull it off again this year That'd be nice. It's hard. I'm not I'm not holding my breath You know the Dodgers have already been to multiple World Series in a row So that's hard enough to win multiple in a row You know the odds are are pretty tough But they've definitely retooled this year There is speaking of The World Series there's 7 out of 70 Clayton Kershaw Yeah, I mean Trevor Bauer was an excellent addition. Remember David Price offed it out last season So that's another fresh arm in the rotation this year So that's a lot of depth for the postseason Something that they I think they struggled with a little bit last year. They kind of had to piece together those Those like Alex Wood Dustin May Gonsolin sort of starts which was a little difficult. There's another Joe Adele for you, Brandon But yeah, but they did Vegas certainly think they're favorites there. I think they're they're they're two to one three to one in some spots To to win it all again We'll have to see how this season plays out. There's gold foil Daniel Johnson for The tribe and there is for Detroit KCM eyes These are manufactured patches, but they're still pretty cool Yens with the Tigers It's a facsimile autograph right there another Joe Adele Missed something All car chip so in case I do miss something you'll be able to catch.

There you go, Rick 1986 like Joey Barton Dylan Carlson are not only they pair together all the time, but they're also upside down Out of the pack all the time Or right side up depending on I guess what side drone There's a mookie bet glad to have him as a Dodger for many years to come And We've got a variation a Justin Verlander variation nice Houston Patrick Cologne there you go Patrick. He's an Astros fan. There you go Verlander is pretty good Verlander's first ballot right Let's look at the back of the baseball card he has 226 wins All right, he's probably got a few more years to go if not more I Don't know He might hit 300 wins He's got a lifetime 333 average, which is pretty great for as long as he's played And over 3,000 strikeouts Yeah, I thought those are first ballot numbers, right? Wilson contrast major league material for the cubbies. That's gonna go to TJ Christian Pache there We got Luis Patino rookie gold foil for the Padres That will be for for Kyle there you go Kyle Gold foils aren't too shabby Padres As a Dodger fan kind of scaring me a little That team clicks Be a that could be a big challenge for the Dodgers in the regular season Should be a lot of fun battles this summer We got this guy That is Randy Dovnick 126 to 199 That red I forgot what they call red ice parallels do they Silver pack time for the silver packs. Good luck.

Here's the second half other 30 or so minutes to go Good luck. Yeah ends. What's going on fourth jumbo box? Here's the fifth and the sixth and final box pin pops open this is a Serena match or repo There's a slide this might be live the final three jumbo boxes KC May's gold foil You got Ronald Acuna junior for the Braves William It's a 299 Got the this orange parallel here. I like these parallels I feel like it's been a bit of number of years since they had these insets to 299 Texas Rangers It goes to William Smith Christian Pache That's six. Oh Sanchez gold foil nice one for the fish Patrick Cologne and look at this We've got a Josh Autograph for the Pirates Tom Gregory with Pittsburgh 33 out of 50 nice. Oh TJ you're supposed to get 10 inches of snow by Monday 10 inches. That's crazy That's a good bit of that's a fair amount of snow That's a fair that's a fair amount of snow Magical more Alec bomb and out of 299 We got old Willie Calhoun Dodger prospect and hit the ball a ton Goes to the Rangers that'll be for William. Yeah, that that that reckoned Dallas was crazy I was I don't think I've ever seen anything like that at least not in not in not in recent memory There's Marcel Ozuna to 2021 for the Braves. That'll be for William Was it over 130 cars?  There's there's no way to do I cannot avoid any of this It's the powerless feeling Labor Day Labor Torres for the Yankees Matt Medlin another Joe Adele right there And we've got a pretty low number here nice Randy Dobnick That's to 50. That's for the twins. That's gonna be for Adam Joe Adele facsimile autograph Labor Torres and this Lindors flipped around it's a 299 nice For the tribe that goes to Henry Benson and Cody Belanger cool little patch here I don't know when the next big basketball release is Prism no prisms not I don't know I If you go to um if you go to Can you go I think blowout cards has a forum page that they actively Oh, were you were you way behind it's certified come Jeremy saying certified basketball is coming up I suppose that would be that's a solid release, but yeah, not not a not a huge one But yeah, the blowout forums has they have a release calendar that they that they update pretty frequently And there is oh Mount Castle others first of all Daniel Johnson for Cleveland. This is for you Henry Benson And here's a nice Ryan Mount Castle autograph. It's supposed to be pretty good Michael Mastrulo with the Baltimore Orioles, there you go Ryan Mount Castle Another Alec bomb or try to pull as many of those as possible at all card ship though So if I miss anything like this Don't worry because everything is gonna ship gold foil Devers Red Sox Jeremy you heard that select is Gonna they're gonna start selling select retail selected. So you think that hurts very select. No I don't think so. I mean Prism has a ton of retail products mosaic had a ton of retail product You know a lot of a lot of those those big products have retail versions of them I don't think that's hurt the value of prism has it I mean, there's probably like what half a dozen. There's probably like six different prism releases Prism hobby prism Fanatics prism blasters prism salopax prism Read retail boxes. I feel like there's like six different prism releases and As far as our shop is concerned, you know Everybody buys All the different ones. I think retail gets to well the thing is the retail stuff gets expensive too these days But it's still a ton cheaper than hobby versions Here's a variation. Oh nice Ted Williams. That's EA with the Red Sox Nice. I like the old-school guys in the new series one design.  That's a one of one Wow Who's got the brew crew? Kyle Kyle N Kyle needs Got the Brewers and Gets the one-of-one. I guess you have to find the other letters now That's your mission all aboard the big-head Express And a gold foil Bobby Dalbeck for EA and The Red Sox along with the other Dalbecks and I'm sure I've I'm sure I've missed in these in these breaks Yeah, I suppose select not having a retail version maybe had had increased its I don't desire ability amongst collectors, but I feel like The hobby has reached a point where there is like that demand for select retail products Or enough people being priced out of select hobby boxes where they're like, hey Can there be like hobby sell-op acts with different exclusives I could chase for a relatively more affordable price Is the idea is my guess is is what they're what they're thinking is Almost there folks. All right last full box As a credits gold foil to $4.99. We've got Julio Uriis and We've got Reggie Jackson the straw that stirs the drink right How long do you think off to football stay at at this current price? Maybe maybe maybe it won't maybe it'll keep going up My guess is the way, you know, I guess it'll go by the way of the How well the quarterbacks do in this draft class this 2020 draft class the likes of Justin Herbert and Tua and burrow keep Continue to play well over the years that box price will just steadily go go up over the years Which is why I always encourage everybody when there's a new release that comes out Don't wait more often than not the new release price will probably be We'll probably be the cheapest price you'll see For for probably years Unless that draft class becomes You know unless that draft class is just just a completely full of nobody's and then maybe that price will start to creep down We've got another Red Sox and an autograph. We've got Eduardo Rodriguez for EA and the Red Sox And we've got Josh James Astros Patrick Cologne What price would it take for a UFC fight in the US? One of these professionals for you may hold on what are you asking? What price would it? Cost me to fight one of these fighters to fight a fighter Are you saying um, I don't know it would probably take cost me I don't know someone would have to pay me at least to to to work out for a year And just get into fighting shape Then I have to then I'd have to see where my where my weight class could be And I have to figure that at put that part out and then I don't know maybe a couple hundred thousand dollars Five hundred thousand dollars. It's a fact silly autograph a million for Lonnie Should I ask for a million? I should ask for a million. I'll ask for a million I'll settle for I don't know six hundred thousand dollars. I'm not getting knocked out. I'm I'm just I'm running around the ring I'm I'm cowering in a corner but at least I'll at least At least I'll look good. I'll be in the best shape of my life. I'll look at cowering In the in one of the angles of the octagon and I would just get into a maybe try to get into a position where Where maybe I'll just get a Well, I wouldn't why I wouldn't pick a fighter that would actually be able to to knock me out That'd be terrifying But maybe maybe a fighter who's who has more of a ground game and Then I would then I would just get like choked out and I'll just go to sleep.  I lose the match. I make my money and I'm out Would I buy who's Holly Box and stash for a two week of a rookie? What makes you think it's a weak rookie class? You know what Anthony Edwards has been doing Lamello ball setting records James Weissman in the mix Tyrese Halliburton is another another hoops player. It's actually turning out to be pretty solid draft class at the very least a It could be a less Less top-heavy draft class in previous years really it's only Only Donchich in 1818 1819 Donchich is big It tray young too But I feel like Right, it's a big beige is dropped already the other night. Yeah and then in 1920 at Zion and John Morant, obviously maybe maybe RJ Barrett's actually coming around Kobe White and some others But there's a there's a lot of players that are that are pretty interesting. Vlad Guerrero going to Justin But I think I feel like there's a more of a top-to-bottom sort of field in this draft class Which could have its own advantages Louise Robert White Sox Francisco Sabalanke I'd be pissed too show a Ohtani Had a chance to beat Serena, but now it's unraveling All right, let's set that there. Let's see what's inside here All right, so now let me show you that should show you what's here first There's some risk rookies and a Buster Posey gold to 50 25 out of 50. That's a nice one for John and the Giants Brandon Lau To 75 for the raise a few rookies there And you all Moncada, let's sit at the end nice All right, ladies and gentlemen, there you go A ton of rookie cards a lot of nice other cards a couple variations some good autographs and Someone is going to get a shot at the Rip Party pack So it's browser will wake up. There you go Got Spiro with the diamond back down to Justin in the Nationals name on top gets the Rip Party pack Second name gets the history of tops cards and other non-baseball team affiliated cards after eight times one Two three four six Seven and eighth and final time. There you go Adam You get the Rip Party the exclusive Rip Party pack and Kyle Kyle pays. Thanks for getting in Kyle You're gonna get the the history of tops cards. All right done. We made it. Thanks very much everyone I'm Joe for jaspys case breaks calm. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye. Bye


Welcome to nursing school explained in today's video on the insertion of an indwelling catheter in a male patient. Keep in mind that this is always a sterile procedure and we have to make sure that we follow the sterile field items to the T when we perform this procedure. Let's take a look at this. First of all our catheter kit will always come with a label and it'll tell you the contents of the package. Make sure that you check beforehand if the patient might be allergic to latex or iodine because the catheter itself sometimes contains latex or the cleaning swabs or solution that the kit comes with contains iodine. So if that happens make sure that you consult with your policies and procedures and switch those items accordingly. I personally like to use the bed as my working surface. Some people might prefer to use an over bed table and that is really up to you. I just if the patient is able to open up their legs and tolerate that the catheter is in between their legs here and that this is my sterile working field I prefer this because to me it's much easier to navigate the sterile field. And then of course we always want to provide peri care before we go ahead with the procedure and this also allows us to identify the anatomical landmarks and possibly any anatomical things that we need to pay attention to. In this case our patient here is circumcised and this is important to note because we want to make sure that we retract the foreskin and clean around the glans penis before we go ahead and insert the catheter and then also we'll have to retract the foreskin back over the glans penis once the catheter is insertion to prevent any complications. So in order to get started we want to make sure we perform hand hygiene and then we open up our package. This plastic bag that the package comes with can serve as a little trash bag that you want to put at the back of your bed so you don't want to put it across otherwise you'll have to reach across the sterile field to do that. Now then remember that you always want to start by opening up your sterile field box by opening up the package away from you. So I'll start by opening it away and then open each side. Remember that one inch of the sterile field parameter I can touch but no more than that. So when it comes to the last flap I want to make sure I just grab it on the outside that will eventually sit on the bed. Now this one is a little stubborn which can definitely happen so you just kind of need to play with it a little bit and wiggle it around so that it stays nicely open. I then like to place it this way and right away I can see that my sterile gloves here are on the top of my box so I'll take those and I'll put them somewhere aside from my sterile field. In this case I'll just place them on the side here. I could use the patient's abdomen for example to do that and remember not to turn your back on your sterile field. I done my sterile gloves being careful not to contaminate anything. Now the wrapper of the gloves here on the inside is sterile so I can grab it with my sterile gloves and then just toss it because I haven't touched anything else. Each catheter kit comes with a sterile towel and also what's called a fenestrated towel which has a cut-off edge here and that is has an opening in the front. I like to use it because it allows me to expand my sterile field by just draping this over the patient's genitalia. Strandy side always goes down. My hands are sterile I can rearrange my tray now and I'll actually move this away a bit and then use the other towel to extend my sterile field being careful not to touch the bed or anything else. So now I have a nice working lean here and I don't have to worry about the catheter that might get pulled or any other things to get in the way it contaminated. Now these right here are the swap sticks. This particular kit comes with two. I'm only going to use one and I like to open them up and actually take them out of the wrapper so then later when my non-dominant hand is contaminated by touching the patient I don't have to mess around with this and they will be easily accessible and my trash again goes away. Then the kit also comes with a pre-filled 10 ml syringe as well as some lubricant so I can now take this tray and place it here on to my sterile tray. I use the lubricant and place it on my tray here then the lubricant can go in my trash pile over there and then the catheter here tends to be pretty flimsy in this box so you want to make sure that it doesn't touch anything. Sometimes you can slide it out easily but make sure that you hold on to the wrapper and the catheter because it has a tendency to be flimsy then it could just end up somewhere on the bed and not be sterile anymore. I get rid of my wrapper now I will take my catheter tip and I place it inside the lubricant at least one to two inches. I want to make sure that I lubricate them well and as you can see it's flimsy so I pay particular attention to this end of the catheter. I also want to take my pre-filled syringe and hook it up to the Y port right here which will allow me to inflate the balloon once it is in place. Now the balloon is at the end or fairly towards the end of the catheter right here some manufacturers or hospitals will tell you to inflate the balloon before you insert it to test it but that is mostly not common practice anymore so we just won't do this at this time. So right now I have my sterile filled lined up I am ready to go here my catheter is ready and lubricated now I'm going to clean the patient with my three swab sticks and since I'm right-handed I will use my non-dominant left hand to touch the patients in Atelier being very aware that my hand now becomes contaminated and I can't touch anything else on the sterile filled with my left hand and like I said before this purse patient is uncircumcised so I'm going to need to retract the foreskin to expose the glands penis here and be able to clean it with my first swab stick I clean around the opening in a circular motion from the opening away and then my swab stick does not go back on my sterile tray but it just goes on my trash pile the second swab stick I use from where I start stopped with the first one and again clean in circular motion toss it and then the third one starts where the second one stopped and continue to clean in a circular motion now I'm ready to insert this catheter now that I have cleaned the urinary miatus and the glands of the penis I'm ready to insert my catheter I make sure that it's lubricated and then I tell the patient to take a deep breath and exhale and as the patient exhales I gently insert the catheter being careful that with the tips of my gloves I don't touch the tip of the penis as I'm inserting because otherwise I would contaminate my gloves and then by feeding the catheter in I would basically drag bacteria in there so I want to be careful not to do that now be keep in mind that with a male patient you might feel resistance on some point this might be the prostate it helps to maybe gently twist the catheter to get through the prostate and also coach your patient to take a deep breath as this can be uncomfortable so you insert the catheter until you see urine flowing out and you might have to give yourself a little more slack here once you see the urine flowing as I'm seen right now you want to continue inserting the balloon and in the male patient it's perfectly fine to go all the way to the bifurcation which is the end of the catheter where is that Y piece at this point my sterile procedure is complete I can now let go of my left hand stabilize the catheter so it doesn't slide out and then inflate my balloon make sure to inflate the entire syringe or whatever is recommended by the manufacturer then hold the port to disconnect the syringe otherwise the balloon will automatically start to deflate again like it's doing now so I hold the plunger once it's completely inserted and then I take it out I can get rid of the syringe and then I gently pull the catheter back until I feel resistance which means that now the balloon is at the bladder neck at the at the end of the urethra so in this uncircumcised patient I want to make sure I pull the foreskin back over the glands penis otherwise I might cause some problems there going down the road and then my sterile procedure is done so now I can gather my equipment and the easiest way to do this is to just tear this fenestrated drape and remove it and since I might have some lubricant on my sterile gloves and I no longer need to be sterile I can remove my sterile gloves do hand hygiene and then down clean gloves once I've done the clean gloves I'll take my catheter and usually there's a leg securement device that will allow me to secure this catheter to the patient's thigh and again check your policy on how that's supposed to be attached to the patient's thigh or whatever other part as I lower the catheter back it will fill with urine I'm going to attach the catheter back with its hook to a non movable part of the bed that's usually a hook on the bottom and then I'm just going to wait and see until it stops draining in the meantime because this might take a little while I can gather my equipment and all the things that I'm no longer going to need and I'll just throw them away then I'll take care of my patient make sure they are comfortable and provide them privacy at this point I no longer need to really assess their genitals but I want to assess their urine output and as you can see here it's stopped stopping to flow now so now if I look in my catheter bag keep in mind I want to keep the bag below the level of the bladder but I'm just going to show you what it looks like and then here you can measure how much the patient had as urine output that you can then chart as your urine output now keep in mind the bag is not exact because it's a bag so depending on where the gravity is it might be a little bit different so the best way to check the urine output is to use this drainage port and then put it in a measuring cup and that way you have the exact measuring of the urine output once you inserted the catheter make sure you chart your procedure and make sure your patient is comfortable thanks for watching this video on nursing school explain about catheter insertion and amelotation please also watch the female catheter insertion as the anatomy is a little bit different and I'll see you soon right here on nursing school explain thanks for watching


Well today I'm going to take you on a journey to the most inaccessible place on our planet, right to the very centre of the Earth, to the Earth's interior. So the Earth, if we're looking inside it, you can think of the Earth just like an onion. And when I mean it's just like an onion, I mean it has layers, many, many different layers. Now an onion, all the layers in an onion are, well, onion, and they're all the same thickness. In terms of the scale of the layers inside the Earth, it's actually a lot more like a peach. So I pre-cut this, and I'm just going to, oh, it opens perfect. So in a peach you have the stone, then you have the flesh, and then you have this very thin skin on the top of the peach. Now that's just like the Earth. So at the surface where we live, we have the crust, which is like the skin on this peach. And that's the thinnest layer. It's only six kilometres in the ocean, and maybe a few tens of kilometres thick in the continent. But in the scale of the Earth, it's just like the skin on that peach.


Tony Gibson was a British psychologist, anarchist and conscientious objector for which he was imprisoned. In 1951, Gibson wrote a pamphlet called Youth for Freedom. From this work, we may extract a theory that explains school violence. The theory can be partly stated as follows. Children have certain behaviours that come naturally to them, instinctively one might say. If they are allowed to have a childhood that lets them vent and live through these instincts, they will develop into adults who are not unusually aggressive. But if adults make the children live in ways that go too much against these natural instincts, then the child retains its asocial and ferocious instincts into adult life, rather than living through them as a childhood stage of development.  As he says, the nice young men who lightheartedly fly bombers and devastate towns are simply neurotic beings who have had to wait until their twenties to give proper expression to the instincts of infancy. Later, he writes, the children who grow up with a satisfactory gratification of their instinctual life in the various phases of their development are more likely to have sound adult instincts at a comparatively early age and therefore resist the fantastic demands of the state in the matter of military service. The more that a culture, mainly through public schools, anywhere in the world attempts to suppress mildly aggressive or simply physical behaviours that are peculiar to children and make them behave in adult ways that restrict them to greatly, the more likely we are to observe extremes of aggression breaking out and the more that aggressive instincts will be nurtured in adults. Giving drugs to children to suppress their activities and tendencies will tend to produce a greater tendency toward excessive violence, not simply or only by the physical aspects of the drugs but also by psychological reactions to the behaviour control. The same outcome will come about by preventing boys from being boys, over controlling rough and tumble play, overly suppressing taunts, fights, shoves, pushes and rough sports. Children need the freedom to play with other children, to shout, to rough neck and to play all kinds of games. They need the freedom to roam around on their own. They shouldn't be prevented from learning how to shoot rifles or bows and arrows if this appeals to them. Vicarious video game experiences may or may not provide adequate substitutes for play. I suspect that they do not, in general, do so. The basis of this theory is Gibson's observation that children are weaker than adults and that to survive as weak beings under the thumbs of adults they have behaviours peculiar to being children. The child is a gregarious but not a truly social animal when in mental and physical health it is aggressive to the point of ferocity and capable of a ruthlessness which normal adults do not possess. It is entirely self-centred and its love for other persons is of an essentially different nature from the affection which an adult may feel for another person. Aggression in adults and therefore approval of the state's aggressions is, according to this theory, fostered by social systems and adults that overly control children. Since public schools exercise such control they produce more adults who support the state not simply or only by indoctrination or false history but by psychological means that make people comfortable with violent aggression and immorality. The well-meaning social moralists who bring up children according to an idealised adult code of behaviour have to bear their full share of the blame for the supreme immorality of adult behaviour. The state in its drive towards totalitarian dominion assumes more and more the aspect of a hypocritical and repressive adult controlling a lot of children. In all the aspects of state interference with individual liberty we see the nasty schoolmarm, the pompous father. Guns do not explain youth and school violence because it is worldwide and doesn't always involve guns. There are other theories than Gibson's that attempt to explain school violence. There are theories that directly challenge Gibson arguing that childhood aggression is not a playful thing that children grow out of. They argue that aggression is learned before must be countered or suppressed in one way or another by adults. But if this is true, why are Americans and others experiencing even greater school violence as the attempts to suppress it are heightened? I think Gibson's theory has merit. If we are observing greater school violence it is at the same time that we observe society constricting the schools, enforcing more and more rules, attempting to feminise boys and going to extremes to suppress even mildly aggressive, even verbal behaviour. We see greater amounts of drugs being administered to children to dampen them down. This is tending to prevent normal childhood development. In the vain quest of reducing person-on-person violence it is enhancing it. Only that, it is producing adults who are comfortable with high amounts of state-inflicted violence and aggression.


Good afternoon everyone, so now I must cope with not only with this presentation, but with Yano's standard, Yani's standard and also the video, and I'm between you and the coffee break, so I try to do my best. I will start, I will talk today mainly or only about one of the components of the OpenAir project. Yani's already mentioned that we have three main components, so I will talk mainly about the human component, the human network of OpenAir. And at the beginning, like on the book of the books, at the beginning, there were 38 partners from 27 very diverse European countries, culturally on traditions, on languages, etc., and also very different on open access activity levels and traditions. So, and that's why also OpenAir is really a European project, because we, I think we made a strength out of this challenge of getting all these people together, and this is a photo of the kickoff meeting of OpenAir in Athens, all these people together, as written on our description of work, to deliver an electronic infrastructure that will help European Commission to implement its policies. But I think we can say it in a much probably better way. We were there, we got together in Athens to really to create this open knowledge infrastructure for Europe. And we did this through this participatory design, so through networking. So, one of the main components of the OpenAir project since the beginning was this building of support structures and tools that will facilitate the collection and deposition of FP7 content, funded content in the OpenAir infrastructure. As the time goes by, and also Yanis already mentioned, our scope and our ambition is getting bigger. But this is, this was our original vision, and we, the strategy was to do that, mainly through two tools, one, or two strategies. One was to create an European help desk system, and I will talk a little bit about it. And the other one is also to liaise with all the open access activities that were already going on in Europe, as I mentioned, with different levels of activities, with different strategies, or with different actors. But when we started in most European countries, there are already some level of open access activity. So, we have to face since the beginning some challenges, and I probably can sum up those in two main points. One is to bring together very different stakeholders, so research institutions, researchers, research administrator, libraries, repository managers, open access journal publishers, etc., etc. And also, from, they are not diverse on their views and on their perspective, but also from, there is a big diversity also on language, on geographical, cultural language, and also, of course, disciplinary point of view. So, we have really a very diverse landscape that we aim to, in a way, to unify and to get together for promoting this vision for open science. So, and the strategy, as Yanis also mentioned, was to create a network structure that covers all the European member states. And again, this was the beginning of open access. So, now we go beyond this on open air plus, our repository, our network, our human network is bigger than this one. And we also, for coordination purposes, we, and to avoid some other political problems, we just divided in North, South, East and West. And for each of these regions, there is a member of the coordination team that works together and closely with the national open access desks at the country level. So, in each country, so on the 27 countries, which we establish a national open access desk, there are very, also very different types of organization. In most cases, there will be universities, but there are also other types of organizations. For instance, we have also funders and other types of organizations. And also, with very different involvement and activities on open access. But most of them, and that's a very important point, their connection to open access and to the local reality was already very strong before open air. So, we are not only connecting the 27 countries, or the 27 participating countries to open air, we are really connecting open air with the open access activities that are going on, on those countries. And one of the main results of this network is an help desk system that is available for anyone in Europe to use. On these years, we have collected a relevant number of questions already. I'm just showing the origin of those questions. So, again, we have a big diversity on the origin of the questions that are inserted on the help desk. And also, the help desk addresses several, the several stakeholders. So, we have one of the main stakeholders that use the help desk during this period was repository managers. But if we look more closely to the questions that were initially classified as general questions, they are really probably distributed by several other categories. And mainly, they should be classified as research general questions because most of those questions come really from researchers. And not only we have this tool that is the help desk system, but we have developed different information resources that are collected in the open air portal. And they have proven to be very useful. So, we have national information pages for each European country. We have specific pages aimed at different stakeholders to researchers, repository managers, et cetera. We have FAQs, and we have several guides or toolkits for the know-hats, for researchers, for research institutions, et cetera. And if we look at the usage of those resources, we are now, we are here speaking of more than 10,000 views of all of these, of each of these FAQs. And so, copyrights and questions of license to publish comes I here. But then, and it's very interesting to see that the FAQs that are more used afterwards are really very basic questions about what open access and repositories are about. And also related with the guides, we have also a big volume of usage, especially from the guide for researchers and the guide for repository managers. And during the project, one of the very important things that we have made is that we need to share experience and knowledge. We need to make sure that every know-hout in each country has the capacity to reply and to promote open air at local level. So we have used every opportunity, not only we do regular Skype or video conferencing meetings, but we have used every opportunity to get together. And this last picture is from our last meeting just yesterday where we have discussed the current situation and also the future perspectives on open air and open air plus. Another very important area is this area of not only supporting researchers, but also repositories and repository managers. And to make research's life easier so that by depositing in one of repository, they are immediately complying with requirements from DC. So we have to make this activity mainly in three ways by developing guidelines for content providers, by promoting information and training. And we have done several training sessions also in face-to-face and by webinars and other remote training strategies and also by developing tools. So the guidelines that we have developed were intended to be very lightweight guidelines, so very lightweight requirements not to impose a huge amount of work on repository managers. And because of that, we needed to build them as supplementary and built upon the driver guidelines that already existed instead of starting to create from scratch another set of guidelines. The first version of the guidelines was available on July 2010 and just about a couple of weeks ago or three weeks ago, the new version, the version 2.0 was released. And on this version, and I think this is also important to mention, I think Yan is already touched that point, we are not longer only supporting individual data providers, but now we are supporting aggregators. So, for instance, we are looking forward to see some countries that have still a kind of low level of open-air compliant repositories to reach very quickly a high level, because they will do it not at the individual repository, on each individual repository, but at the level of national portals. And on this guidelines, we also wanted to address this need to, and this is a need that now is even more important with the policy that was announced in July, this need to make the efforts convergent between what are the efforts at the European level and also at national levels. So, we want to create a generic way to describe project information and founder information. So, by using a solution that can be used not only for describing European-funded projects, but projects founded by any founder in Europe. So, the same requirements will apply for repository managers. We will have to use the same approach to comply with the EC policy, but also with local national policies. And this is also a very important point. And finally, we have developed add-ons for the most common repository platforms. So, there are add-ons for this space and E-prints. And it's a pleasure to announce that on E-prints 3.0, that will be released soon in December. Open-air compliance is built-in in the code. So, there will be no need for an add-on. So, this space version will be born open-air compliant. And I think that's an important achievement, too. And there is a picture out of the place, I think. Regarding dissemination and outreach, we have also done a lot of dissemination and outreach. That's one of the major tasks of the know-ads in each country and also the European the coordination team. So, we have made on the last couple of years, we have made more than 200 presentations of open-air. And we have contacted more than 2,000 projects. I must admit that the reply rate is not so high as we would expect. So, we just got probably a reply rate of around 20% from projects. But we have contacted more than 2,000 projects. And from the presentations, if we look at it from both a regional and a stakeholder perspective, you will see that across all regions, the stakeholders that were approached more frequently were researchers and repository managers. And I think that's a right strategy. But, of course, it is also very important that we have addressed policymaker and research administrators, because they are also very important stakeholders for our success. But during this period, we also encounter problems on getting all this together. And the main problems is that the policy, as we knew it until now, was really a weak mandate, because there was no carrots and no sticks. So, you need at least one. Probably, you need both. But for sure, you need at least one. And the FP7 pilot was really lacking one or another. And so, we have already good news that the default for Horizon 2020 will be different. And I think it is very important that compliance mechanisms are built into the details of the policy, and so that the carrots and the sticks are built into the details of the policy. And we have another problem that some of those problems were problems that were very important at the beginning of the project, and things begin to change and to get better as time went on. So, for instance, Yanis just mentioned that we are probably the only project that has access to some European commission databases, but that was not the case for a long time. So, we have lots of problems, for instance, to know which projects were at the special clause 39, which was the universe that we should address to. So, there was a lack of information from EC. There was also kind of a low awareness, especially at the beginning of end involvement from both project officers, project coordinator, and also researchers. And because this is or should be kind of a cascade, so that the information about open air and special clause 39 should flow from the project officers through the researchers. And it was not always the case. And also, in some countries, we have a low or slow involvement of the repository community. And in some others, we have this approach to solve not by each individual repository, but at national level. But despite these problems, I think we have very good results and very good results in three dimensions. So, on implementing the EC and RC policies on the overall open access situation in Europe and also the open air network per se. So, as also Yan is already presented, we have now collected more than 40,000 FP7 reference to FP7 publications. From those, about 4,000 come from institution repositories, about a little bit less than 400 from open access journals. Around 8,000 from subject and disciplinary repositories and almost 1,000 were claimed in the portal. And we have seen, especially on this last point, on claiming in the portal. I think in all the other sets, but especially on this last point, we have seen a significant increase in the last month or so. Regarding repositories, this is a picture that tries to represent because I think the absolute numbers are not so important here, but tries to represent the percentage of open air compatible repositories by country. And this is compared with open door database. And this is not a good comparison because not all open door registered repositories are meant to be open air compliant. So, I have another picture that compares open air compatible repositories with driver repositories. And that's probably not also a complete, the most accurate picture because probably there are some repositories that should be open air or could be open air compliant that are not yet registered on driver. So, the truth probably is in the middle of these two slides. But as you can see, as the bluer ones are the countries that are already, that have already a very high. And we have already some 100% or close to another percent countries. And we have some low countries. But again, as I already mentioned, some of the lower countries are countries that will become probably almost 100% compliant from the day to the night because they will be at the national level. Regarding open access in Europe, of course, not all this was because of open air or only because of open air. But I think we can claim and rightfully claim an important part on these results. On the growing number of repositories and of course on open air compliant repositories in Europe. On the growing number of institutional and national open access initiatives and policy. And I think this is a clear effect and not only because the commissioner said that she was a firm believer on open access. I think the number of firm believers of open access has really been increasing in Europe and elsewhere. But I think open air has given an important contribution to this. And finally, I think one of the very good results from this project is really our network. It's a network that shares a common vision, this common vision of opening science in Europe. And a network that shares experience, expertise, information and support at a truly European scale. So involving each and every European country and now from the member states of EU and now beyond on this common vision of opening science to Europe. So I think in conclusion, and I think this probably sums up well the spirit of open air that is the same spirit of the inventors of the web and is the same spirit of the people like Jean-Claude get together in Budapest and dream in connecting the world in a common intellectual dialogue and all this is possible because we joined the dots because network is our power. Thank you.
