I know a lot of bushcraft channels on YouTube but yours is just fantastic and full of lessons

Here's a coat trick if you didn't have that blanket-oilcloth combo: being that your coat is ample and large fitting, take it off, pull the sleeves inside it and wrap it around your upper body instead of wearing it as usual. It's a similar effect to a mitten keeping your hand warmer with the fingers all together than wearing a glove with separate fingers...learned that from a homeless guy here in Canada.

This video shows how important a knife, cordage, some type of cover, and something to get a fire going is when you are out in the wilderness. Great video.

Hi, I'm from Spain, so I know pretty good that rations, and sometimes there are some troubles when they pack them, pack the wrong menu paper in the box or the stickers are upside down. Even though they are one of the best rations because they are super nutritive and satiating.
Your meal is Fabada asturiana, Asturias is a northen region of Spain, and where I live too, and it is a typicall Asturian dishes. The Fabada is composed by beans and Chorizo, which is a spicy sausage.
I hope you enjoyed them and awesome video btw.

Seriously love how your channel has taken off. I was watching you back in 2019-2020 and love how much you've grown. Appreciate all the lessons and beautiful camera work you give us out in the woods. Much love to you and your family!

I had no idea 30 years ago (well before "social media") me and my friend were cutting edge camping with only a cheap tent, blankets from home a old Coleman stove and beer/food were "surviving" for the weekend... We just thought that's what we could afford and it worked.

First video of yours I've watched! I'm an outdoor fan, watched many outdoor camping videos and channels, but for some reason yours is special. 30 minutes video, but not a single second I was bored! Keep on the good work.

Yep, "it seems to be a lack of tea" is a very British remark 😄

I love these overnighter videos. Well done, mate 😊

Blue's stuff is fantastic. I picked up one of his wool poncho / sleeping bag / blankets and it's awesome and crazy multifunctional. Thanks for having us along Mike. It's cool to revisit past challenges with different picks for items. 👍🇨🇦

I've learn more from your video in 30 minutes than all videos I've seen since now. Thanks to your dedication to this art of minimal "old style" backpacking and surviving.

I wish there was more creators like this channel 😀🌲

Tools should be an exception...
Heavy stove- luxury
Nice small ratchet/axe/saw- necessity

Give the Danish MRE a try. The ones I've had contained a small chocolate bar, jam, peanut butter, along with three full meals. They're pretty decent.

I really like the sound of quaint cracking of the trees due to a windy days. it really reminds me of my comfy childhood days

I recently took a trip and used a bedroll setup for the first time. Waxed canvas and wool blankets. Also picked up a Polish Lavuu. Had to make a few adjustments mid trip, but it worked well over all. Watching this channel has inspired me to get back out there. Thank you.

[djking]

That wool blanket looks like the real deal. What an awesome bit of kit.

[kenkeller]

An invaluable channel among the thousands of others.

I'd actually love to see you and Bear doing a long video or series of videos like this and compare camp styles

I've always used the early flame to boil water - largely because my *first* priority after getting the fire lit, is a coffee! The time spent waiting to get a suitable bed of embers for cooking is best spent drinking coffee, in my opinion.

You sould try a Canadian MRE if you've never had one, fairly different from the US one. Just hope to avoid getting one with an omelet in it haha. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
