Loved, loved, loved that you included a time frame for how long it took you to build that shelter. So many bushcraft channels show shelters being built with no way of knowing if they took a day or a week to make, offers some much appreciated perspective. Love the channel, keep up the great work.

If you cut the meal packs along the long side its easier and you don't get it all over your hands, pro tip

I have been camping my entire life. A few years back, I got into motorcycle camping. Utilizing more primitive camping has allowed me to minimize gear and weight. This year, I bought a far more capable off-road bike to utilize for going deep far from the trails camping. I think I will start building simple shelter structures so I can map them out and reuse them. I like the idea of an adventurous hicker stumbling upon the camp and that they may be able to use it, so I will leave provisions for fire and food as well as a log book. You have provided many great ideas that make my mind run like an excited child. 🤣😂 thanks for the wholesome content from your viewers from the States.

Watching you eat all of that reminded me of my time in the Navy (not on a ship, was expeditionary). We would be in the field and had to eat MREs. Some of it wasn’t bad. Some of it was atrocious. All of it was calorie filled and out of date. I actually miss those days...

Nice one Mike, a couple of tips on MRE, heat up the cinnamon bun it's awesome, MRE are made to eat hot or cold that is why you get hot and cold drink options, in the field the smell of a brew will give you away, they are not meant to fill you up, just give you the energy to keep going you can't sleep off a steak dinner in the middle of a firefight, and another thing they don't tell you is they make you constipated, once again it's a combat thing they are made to be used for up to three days then you need a trip to the cookhouse, but they are brilliant for an overnight back packing trip, light, no washing up, and gives you loads of energy to keep going, a rat pack is normally 4000-4500 calories if you include everything in it, Take care Mike, see you soon.

Greetings from Devon. Good to see you out & about again. I was an expedition leader in the RAF & now field craft instructor with the ATC. Old school rat pack tip - squeeze all the contents to the bottom of the pouch then fold the top over as you put in your cup. This gets all the solid portions heated through & doesn’t set fire to the top! I acquired some French rat packs with tinned main meals (sardine tin size) with lasagne. “How bad can it be?” Answer was “hoofing”! It was as good as an M&S ready meal! Lots of other goodies too as well as a flat packed hexamine cooker , fuel, matches & a black rubbish bag. Stay safe & well. I look forward to more vids!
