October 15th, 2024: Well, here is where things begin to go wrong despite my self assurances. Note the fish mouth on me, lol. More to come in part 4.

Just a guy living the Canadian bush life with a bit of a Trailer Park Boys twist, eh?😉

I share my not-so-daily vlogs from my camp, which I call Winterfell. Expect ATV rides, fishing, camping escapades, growing stuff😉, camp projects, and whatever else I get into.

Different? For sure. Boring at times? You bet. Controversial? Sometimes. Authentic? Always!

Hey there, I’m Big Paul, also known as Lad From The Woods. I’m a proud rebel from the '60s and '70s, with a colourful past as a rock and roller, ex-biker, strip club manager, truck driver, and party lover since '62.

I call the Ottawa Valley in Eastern Ontario home, living full-time in my 1989 33ft Travelaire RV with my three cats: Wally, Blackie, and Goldie, right here at Winterfell Camp in the wild.

*Heads up, if you’re easily offended or too woke, this channel might not be for you. Think Trailer Park Boys or HBO's Deadwood, but set in the Canadian wilderness, eh. Only cool folks allowed, ;) lol

I’m Canadian/American, with roots in the Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, and Southeastern Michigan since the early 1800s. I spent my summers in the '60s and '70s, bouncing between Ontario and Michigan.

I deal with PTSD and live on a disability pension, but I’m taking it one day at a time. Life’s been tough, but I’ve always done things my way, with no regrets.

I’m all about fishing, hunting, ice fishing, camping, road trips, partying, 4-wheeling, motorcycling, full-time RV living, cooking, growing great weed and happy fungus, and enjoying coffee, whisky, and weed.

I've got a fishing boat called the F/V "Quadrophenia," named after that iconic album by The Who. Plus, I can’t forget my trusty 4-wheeler, a 660cc Yamaha Grizzly I affectionately call "Moonie." I definitely ride it way too wild for someone my age!

I’m also a two-time UFO witness and a firm believer in the whole phenomenon.

If you’re looking for a polished Scorsese-style production, you’ve come to the wrong place. My videos are raw and unfiltered, just like me. That means YouTube and their advertisers aren’t fans of my content, but I refuse to compromise for anyone. To the advertisers who don’t like me? See ya!

I’m all about keeping it real, not trying to create some grand spectacle like YouTube was originally intended for.

I might be a bit rough around the edges and not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re chill, I’m chill. If not, well, you know what to do! 🤪

My life mantras from Hunter S. Thompson:

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!"

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

So, come along for a wild ride or don’t, no biggie!

Peace and long life, everyone! Thanks for stopping by! 🖖🏻
