Assuming you mean the one at dinner. That is a “cook-in-cozy” by packit gourmet. It’s basically an insulated lunch pail that hydrates your food better in cooler temps. We rarely carry it now unless we are winter camping.

@@blagow1 let us know if you need any help. Lots of good resources out there too.

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I'm quickly making my way through your videos. LOL.

@@blagow1 glad you’re liking them!

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife I watched your 2nd trip several years ago and I've been trying to find you again. Very detailed and informative videos. Thanks!

@@blagow1 this trip was July

@@tjyjmusic not that I can recall

@@NothernNate Sure was!

@@mjbachman3027 sure was! We went right haha. Followed a moose path pretty sure.

Yea the ones near the parking lot are easy short walks. Doable with a wagon.

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife wonderful! thank you! Your video helped me convince myself that I could do with with a toddler. Exciting!

Totally. Have fun!!

Surely they will come!

We’ve had up to 3 broods in same box. A new duck will move in almost immediately if we leave them up. This year we took them down as soon as they both jumped because we need our backyard for a couple events and we didn’t want to spook a nesting duck. It’s also nice to be able to use our deck and grill outside without disturbing them. Each year we make the decision based off of how early they get started and when we want our yard back. Latest jump for us was 4th of July.

Thank you!

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife

Thanks Dan. We do our best to make sure they are successful. They pretty much own our back yard all spring into early summer.

She’s got her hands.. er wings full!

Enjoy your trip. The NCT runs the entire length of Michigan and has a bunch of great dispersed camping options!

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife Awesome, I’ll check it out! Thank you!

Our pleasure!

I’m so glad our videos helped! Good luck to your brooding hen! Let us know if you have any other questions. Our boxes are filling up again this year too.

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife Thank you so much!! I tell you, lol, I get laughed at because she made her nest under the kids playset that they rarely use so one day while she was out I cut up an old outdoor rug and wired it to the playset to she had some shelter because of all the animal activity we have wonder in our yard at night. She has had her eggs eaten for the last several years so I wanted to help her be as hidden as possible so she just waddles in under the steps to the playhouse and be safe. So, lol, when it rains I ran out there and put outdoor mats ontop so the rain wouldnt drench her and her precious eggs. Again, I'm laughed at because obviously they are animals and are use to the element but here in Indiana our weather is so unpredictable, I just wanted to help them have a successful season and hopefully she can return to same spot next year. Sorry for the rant but I know you guys will understand the method to my helping mama duck madness😁😁🦆🦆🐣

Is she a woodduck or a mallard?

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife Mallard

@@ang8158 they are notorious for nesting in the strangest places! Haha. You’re doing great keeping an eye out for her. Do you have the space to install a mallard tube by next year? She would probably use that and help keep her eggs protected a little better.

Then they will be susceptible to predators. The height is specific such that raccoons can’t reach in. Some of our other videos show how that works. It’s intentionally deep.

Got it!

Inside of the box is a green backyard nest cam. We honestly don’t recommend them. More hassle than they are worth, but the market options for nest cams are thin.

Not this year. But we have another michigan long hike booked

​@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLifeI'm going twice for the first time! Drop off at Malone Bay on 8-3, then on to South Desor Lake Campground, then Washington Creek Campground, then the Greenstone Ridge Trail to Rock Harbor. Back on Isle Royale later in late August into September for a Minong Ridge Trail from Washington Creek Campground to McCargoe Cove, and down to Moskey or Daisy Farm, and then Rock Harbor.

Not in 2024. Not sure exactly. We will be back eventually. Quite a few spots we still want to hike on the island.

Thank you. The outside of the box footage is an older model wireless security camera with great range. The inside the box footage is greenbackyard nest cams. It’s a power over Ethernet style so we have long lines of cable running back to our router. This box is about 171’ from the house the other is about 200’. Plus all the wire run through the house to the router. So it’s quite a ways. That being said the greenbackyard cams are not easy to work with. They are not worth the cost point. But outside of ring cams that’s the only option on the market for POE.

Blind lake.

Both our day packs are Osprey escapist 20L

Thanks again!

Thank you!

Safety. The structure isn’t built for it and they don’t want anyone getting hurt. There’s also nothing on the inside to lash too and they don’t want folks adding hardware. There’s been a few hammock accidents on the island already. The island is just remote enough that it’s just better to be safe about it. Search and rescue can take hours or days.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

My first word of my comment was supposed to Be “ WELL” not We. Stupid autocorrect 😂

It is a nice short drop for them! We’ve thought about the extra mesh. There’s always one duckling trying the jump on the wrong side.

Already have them on. This video is one of our older ones. Our later videos show the improved boxes! Thanks for the comment.

POE Green backyard nest cams. I don’t recommend them actually. Pretty unreliable.

Oh wow!! Thankfully no geese have been around really during jump days but I’ll keep that in mind. Blue herons will do the same. They eat the ducklings whole.

We will be sure to include those going forward. Thanks for the comment!

Haha!! 🤣 that’s funny.

We did not. I don’t believe it was available when we purchased our triplex. Personally the size looks to be better for a single person vs two. We like our space haha 😂. It looks like a solid option though. Other downsides for me are that it’s nylon/ sil-nylon, heavier than Z packs triplex (less room and more weight), and I’m not a fan of the door shape. I like the the fact that the whole side wall zips open on the triplex.

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife thanks! I wondered if that was the reason. We love your videos, thanks for making them.

@@sherrysavage3636 thanks so much for watching!! Means a lot to hear that you enjoy it.

Cool stuff

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife Duane from Wise Old Man of Isle Royale pointed them out to me in early August. I didn't notice them in 2018 when I hiked it solo.

@@mjbachman3027 yea I never noticed them. Interesting!

Our thoughts exactly. $12 for a single meal…

@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife yeah, I do like them for overnight / weekend trips, but for anything longer they don't make much sense IMO.

Could you remind me where you purchase the unrefrigerated cheese from Wisconsin please.

@@lindaoverkamp4305 we used to purchase them from packit gourmet’s grocery section. There’s been times where they didn’t have it in stock and had to search the company name to find them. They are getting harder and harder to come by.

Hi! It’s a Grumman Sportboat. It’s no longer manufactured. We bought it from the first owner who put it up for sale online. It’s a duck hunting and fishing boat for us, but worked well for this trip. Very stable!!!

Awesome! Thanks for stopping by. My parents booked the cabin and we were on the site next door. Was a fun little trip. Hope you had a good time in the UP!

Thanks so much Mike! That mist was pretty awesome.

Thank you! Us too!

That wasn’t the point. 🤷

Thank you! It’s a cool little spot.

We do love the classic chilly Mac. It was a staple for us for a long time.

It’s pretty nice. Wish it was a further walk back in but you can loop it up with nordhouse to make a longer hike. Definitely a beautiful spot.

They must’ve been catching! Lots of them out there. And we love that tent!!

Hahahaha. Glad someone sees the humor ;)

Thank you!!
