Love the way you made the frame on that tent fly mate 🇦🇺 🇳🇿

What I do sometimes is go to a river and rearrange the rocks to make a nice sleeping platform, first big rocks, then medium, all level, then throw in lots of small pebbles. Goes pretty fast when there's lots of rocks. I've even set one up under a bank with water flowing beneath. Easy to anchor an upright stick in the rocks for attaching tarp. Doing that, have to be aware of flash floods. Even if it's not raining where you're at, it can be raining miles away in the mountains and a flash flood can be like a tidal wave. So my method is definitely questionable. Still, a lot of rocks makes a great sleeping platform. Then I'll often put down vegetation. I've also used clay, meticulously removing all pebbles and making a perfectly flat tablet with excellent drainage. That all takes time though. Pretty fast with rocks, doesn't take long at all. A rocky area can be a good defensive area too, if there's wild pigs roaming around. Be a little higher in the rocks than them, and if they do get any ideas (and they can and do sometimes) can throw rocks at them. They'll get mad, but go away.

You might find a set of secateurs handy, small take up little room, and can cut through all sorts things.

Nice video, keep it up I’m hope to see more.

Good to have this patch of bush down the back property

My grandmother who was born around 1900 said the hotter the fire the smaller the sticks.

With a name like Bearded Bushranger I naturally had to take a look ;) Love the tarp shelter setup. It's my favorite way to go. Your other videos look theyre right up my alley. I'll be checking them out. Thanks. Subbed. Good luck amigo.

Thanks mate I appreciate it. Last 2 years I've been working away at another channel ( @lukeslittle tribe ) which is all about getting my kids out bush. But I got a real passion for Aussie history and how the old fellas camped so thought I'd start up this channel just dedicated to that.

@TheBeardedBushranger I like the idea of the history and how it was done 'back in the day'. Hope it works out. Kudos on getting the kids interested.

The rain really seems to love you mate. 🤣 Nice little camping spot and if there was anything to fall from above, that double trunked fallen tree may have protected you anyway. I've got that same Pathfinder kit but I've never used the little twig stove that came with it. I have however, just bought the new Titanium twig stove from Alton Goods. Great looking little stove. I can't wait to try it out. My collection of Alton products just keeps growing. 🤣

Yeah I love the alton products. I have a twig stove but it's not the alton one. Yeah this spot is a great little spot just down the back from my house, so it's good to get out for more little bushcraft type projects.

Thank you for video. I like for you do. Dont stop it

I have to admit I do love my own nesting sets, but I have damaged a couple of the nesting stoves now by warping them in fires that were a little too hot. Small fires and my Trangia used with them now. Live and learn, even now. Love the new channel 👍

Thanks for coming over to the channel craig! I actually have a 1940's military issued 1 litre water container with an attached nesting cup coming in the mail very soon. Can't wait to start using that.

That would be interesting. I have always been a fan of the WW2 German Mess Kit and have some WW2 ones and used them since I was a kids in the Cadets, in my own service days and even now. Some old ideas were so good they are still getting used today.

G’day mate. Just subscribed. Love your outings. Being a bush craft channel, it might be a good idea to brush up on basic knot tying & then even do a how to when you’ve mastered them. The Clove Hitch & Square Lashing are I believe two of the most used in bush craft. You’re getting some great view numbers on this video already. Well done 👍🍻

Hopefully you don't lose the views and comments on them, but even so it's clever to have these style vids all together. Looking forward to some new ones too, love these old school vids.

Exactly that Kurt. I am moving over the swagman videos from Lukes little tribe to this one. I have been quite surprised how well it has gone already with just old videos. 0 to 360 subs within 3 weeks. From next Sunday I will be posting new original swagman videos on this channel
