The first snowfall of the season in Montana is something special. In this video, Odi and I head out for a quiet truck-camping trip beside a Montana lake, where a fresh layer of snow turns the whole landscape silent and still. The air is cold, the mountains are dusted white, and the only sounds are the creek, the breeze, and Odi stomping through the snow. To celebrate the change of seasons, we cook a simple Thanksgiving-style camp meal, enjoying warm food, a crackling fire, and the calm that only a snowy backcountry evening can bring. There’s nothing like watching the frozen lake and mountains while the world slows down for a moment. If you love Montana camping, first snowfall adventures, cozy camp cooking, and peaceful lake views with your dog, this one’s for you. Join us as we settle into winter and enjoy the kind of quiet you can only find in the mountains. 🐶 Buy Hunter & Odi Stickers: https://hunterpauley.com/store-1/p/hunter-odi-sticker 🔥 Support the Channel & Buy Odi a Treat https://buymeacoffee.com/hunterpauley 🗺 Find Spots Like This with OnX Offroad — Save 20% with code GAINZ https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app?rstr=4492&utm_source=Roster&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=HunterPauley-4492 🚐 My Super Pacific X1 Camper — Use launch code 933 for $250 toward accessories: https://superpacificusa.com/ Teren Designs Ember Resistant Jacket: https://alnk.to/eDUncX5 🛠 Gear I Use & Recommend (Affiliate links help support the channel at no extra cost to you) 🏕️ Camping Gear: Howl R1 Propane Campfire: https://alnk.to/bEl8Spf Omnia Oven for Stove Top Cooking - https://amzn.to/4ovVfxd Barebones Edison Light Stick - https://amzn.to/3KNHQly 20lb Propane Tank Cover – https://amzn.to/3UWjO9m Kelty Low Loveseat – https://amzn.to/4hOnSlT Jetboil Flash – https://amzn.to/4gSNOM7 iKamper Disco Skottle (Use code "GAINZ") – https://rstr.co/ikamper/gainz 270º FSR Free Standing Awning (Use "GAINZ" to save 5%) – https://alnk.to/dAnucWQ Fiskars Wood Splitting Axe – https://amzn.to/4gvt5h4 3-in-1 CO, Humidity & Temp Meter – https://amzn.to/4g3V6Mk Black Diamond Moji Lantern – https://amzn.to/3YP0pss Milwaukee 8" Pruning Chainsaw – https://amzn.to/4juSSsi Blackbeard Fire Plugs – https://amzn.to/4hxBVvN 📸 Camera Gear: Sony a7S III (video) – https://amzn.to/3YunFfo Sony A7 IV (photo) – https://amzn.to/3UzBdEW DJI Mavic 4 Pro - https://amzn.to/4olXv9l Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 – https://amzn.to/3UvDZLy Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 – https://amzn.to/3UxIQvI Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 – https://amzn.to/3Yzmpay Peak Design Tripod – https://amzn.to/3Cc9mVi Neewer Carbon Fiber Tripod – https://amzn.to/3AkgQoB Sennheiser Condenser Microphone - https://amzn.to/4mBvv0Z DJI Mic Mini - https://amzn.to/4itXhvt Sony ECM-B10 Mic - https://amzn.to/4ak9rVF 📬 Send Odi & I Mail Hunter Pauley P.O.

About This Video

Cheers everyone and welcome back to the channel. Odi and I headed out for the official first snow camp of the 2025 fall/winter season in Montana, tucked beside a quiet alpine lake. It’s a little late this year (we’re behind on snow compared to last season), but that first fresh layer still changes everything—super peaceful, super quiet, and the snow just dampens the sound in a way I always forget until I’m back out here. You can actually hear the inlet trickling behind the camera, and the whole place just feels still. Since this trip was filmed the day before Thanksgiving, I decided to have some fun and make a mock Thanksgiving camp dinner. Turkey breast was a no-go last minute, so we ran chicken breast instead with freeze-dried mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, gravy, jellied cranberry, and Hawaiian rolls. I cooked everything, then used the Omnia oven as a big “all-in-one” warming dish on the JetBoil Genesis to bring it all back together. We wrapped the night up warm in the Super Pacific with the Truma running, and woke up to a snowy Thanksgiving morning—French press coffee in the JetBoil, Premier Protein (not creamer), and Odi stomping around on the ice.
