3 Autumn Days at our Long-Term Camp - Building a Long-term Camp | Entry: 010 - Camp Firlend

To finish off our 10 part Long-term camp building series, we decided to do a 3 day overnighter mixing small finishing buchcraft touches into the mix to complete our 3 season, 10 part building adventure of our Long-term camp, Camp Firlend. In this video we cook some delicious food, and some not so delicious food (Bacon spam, I was curious). We also do some chainsaw work and other things along the lines of camp life. Thank you all for joining us and supporting us on this adventure, and thank you for viewing, liking, sharing, and of course the wonderful comments.

I am in a wheelchair and live vicariously through videos like yours. I have to say that your's are my favorite now. I love the format (the video speaks for itself) You and Marie rock! Please give us more.

Another great video. Natural sounds enhance the viewing pleasure. God bless off grid people.

For some reason, it's a very relaxing video. Thank you.I watched both part.

This was so lovely. Just found your build today and have enjoyed the sights and sounds so much. I don’t understand what the big room is for - just a utility room, thought you were gonna sleep in there? Certainly cozy though on the bed in front of the fire. Where does the pup sleep

You're both awesome. I am so happy to watch this Episode, the building of the camp, the lead up to Winter, cooking and camping is the best. such a beautiful setting. Thank you for taking us along. Cheers !

Super . . . just SUPER! Enjoying the fruit of your labor. It was so much fun to watch from beginning to end. Thank you for taking the time to get it all on video.

Three double yolkers!?! What luck! Great relaxing and entertaining video. Look forward to more!

I see a lot of people who do this that build shelters, if you do a lot of sawing and shaving off of the bark keep it. I take bags with me to gather saw dust and shavings to use to start fires. Saw dust is amazing for this and no need to gather anything to start it with.

Love the basic long pole structure you use. The open reflector area and the sleeping quarters, using tripod basics👍🏼

Very glad I stumbled on your channel. Very cool watching 2 young people like yourselves spending time in the woods. It is similar to what we did many years ago but you really took it to another level.

[killerorca]

enjoy the forest to the fullest. im ill now so i cant do this any more i enjoyed it more than anything..so the bottom line is take as good care of yourselves as you can and i hope you have many years of enjoyment.

Nice get away. I appreciate your video.

Look into building a long term fire. Lots of vids on it. An easy on is 3 large logs about 3ft long. 2 on the bottom with lots of kindling in between and on top along the whole length. Light the kindling and once it gets going, put the 3rd large log on top right in the middle. Put 2 stakes behind each bottom log to stop them from rolling over once their sides burn, then the 3rd log on top will eventually drop in the middle on the embers, basically still leaving you with 2 whole logs to burn (the 2 half burned & the 3rd one). Hard wood will last longer, if you have any there.

I took my wife camping on our first real serious date to see if she was comfortable and experienced doing a primitive campout. If whether she knew how to set up camp, go to the bathroom outside. starting and maintaining a proper fire along with everything else involved. I'm happy to say that was 37 years ago on Blake Island in the S. Puget Sound here in Washington State. That's my Girl alright.

That smile takes it all. Nice video. Thanks.

might i make a suggestion about your lighting options? if you find a downed pine tree that's not completely rotten and take the pine knots from the base of the limbs they make great improvised candles and they burn for along time very brightly.

Tuna and mushrooms, I'm going to have to try it. Meals look and probably taste great. Thanks

after watching your first one building this camp, I'm really very impressed . you honestly do meticulously fine work and put thought into everything you build into it. I'm just an old carpenter that's retired, 56 yrs old . my Filipino wife loves the wilderness here in the states . didn't know how well she would handle the cold, even in Louisiana and Arkansas . I was amazed, but I got her excellent cold weather gear, ( mil surplus, and sore bought both . she handles it better than I do . we soon have eight kids headed this way . all good things willing, considering these children are very respectful and chomping at the bit to learn, I cant wait to teach em wood/bushcraft stuff, hunting and fishing too . we live remotely on a lake . we camp on islands a lot as well as deep hardwood forest land too . ive have 2 similar rifles to yours . marlin 1895cb & a trapper1895 . use rem loads and underwood loads . my wife didn't really know how much of my life I spent growing up deer, duck, turkey, hog & rabbit hunting, fishing inbetween . so she really is taking off on enjoying this stuff, which I'm really happy about . the kids cant say enough about camping and fishing and hunting . ages from 7 to 19 . so, it looks like schools gonna be in session for quite awhile . her father gave us a pika house on the southern island of Mindanao on the s.e. side half way up a mountain . a truly beautiful view . never, ever gets cold there, but they do get monsoons . once the kids are here and we egt them all set up and into their lives as well as me teaching them many things, we will be going back there every two years or so . its on the edge on the kiotos mountains . no wookies, but some very large cobras . ha and crocs on the lowlands . they all farm coconut, cacao, coffee, mangos pineapples and papayas . I'm already sending back the coffee . I'm not much of a gourmet sorta guy...but that coffee is awesome ! as is the fresh green tea . as well....lot to be said for fresh seafood from two of her brothers....something I didn't expect ....ah well....all expected bonuses I never expected from some truly good people . I love em a lot....easy going people . I'm not much on manila and the city areas where her sisters prefer spending time with her dad and brothers, wife and kids....rural . oh by the way I found these blue and white Italian officers heavy wool blankets for 69 bucks on sporstmens guide > ( mil surplus) . they are 100% virgin wool, do not itch and are heavier than ANY Pendleton or hudsons bay ive ever had . for the price I bought 6 of em . only other one worth buying I got is a dutch navy one . also heavy wool. we use em on top of our sleeping bags or alone with pads....best sleeping blanket Ive ever had .

Lots and lots of green pine and if it's there moss on the bed, then your flat lay downs, real comfy. Also makes great ground insulation.
