Cooking Over a Campfire - Overnight Camping Trip
Ойын-сауық
I spend the night in the cold solitude of Alberta's northern wilderness in Canada.
I locate my camp in a thick spruce and pine forest to offer protection against distant winds. I spend my time at this camp relaxing and cooking some fantastic meals.
The night was calm and cool with clear skies. The stars and moon provided plenty of light which allowed me to maintain my fire throughout the night. Under my two wool blankets I stayed pleasantly warm and was able to get a well needed night of sleep.
In the morning I cooked up a hearty bacon, egg, and hashbrown dish I call the bushman pancake.
After ensuring my fire was fully extinguished, I packed up my gear and did my best to return the campsite back to the way I found it. Within a week, after a few snowfalls, there will be little evidence I was ever there.

Where was this filmed?
Alberta, Canada

I use an old iPhone 6. No lenses or additional microphones.
Is there dangerous wildlife?
Yes. This area is home to grizzly bears, black bears, mountain lions, wolves, and coyotes.
Do I carry anything to protect myself from these wild animals?
In the warmer months of the year I usually carry bear spray, but in these colder temperatures the spray would freeze. During all of my winter and cold weather trips I do not carry any protection.
Have you ever been attacked by a wild animal while camping?
No. Wild animals are usually very timid towards humans and tend to leave us alone.
What is the sheet I laid on the ground to sleep on?
A gum blanket. It is a canvas sheet that is rubberized on one side to act as a moisture barrier between myself and the ground.
What did my bedroll include?
Two 100% queen size wool blankets (brand unknown), and a foam sleep pad (for insulation between me and the ground).
Did I get cold on this trip?
No. I layered my clothing (wore 4 layers over my upper body, and three layers on my legs), wore warm boots (Sorel 1964 CVS), and kept my fire well stoked.
How did my fire stay going all night?
I woke up 3 times throughout the night to add more wood to the fire.
What Knife was I using?
Helle Sigmund
What hatchet am I using?
A small woods hatchet I purchased from an antique store for 8$. Brand is unknown.
What tarp am I using?
Homemade wax cloth tarp. Measures 6' x 6'. I will be making a bigger and stronger one soon and I will make a video on the sewing and waxing process.
What cook kit do I use?
The cooking set I use is the Woods Nootka Cook Set.
The frying pan used for my breakfast is an 8" De Buyer carbon steel pan.

Absolutely
Man, I love how you are sleeping under a literal piece of plastic in the middle of the woods, and are still making better meals than most people at home in their kitchens.
I watch a lot of the bushcraft/outdoor channels and they are all good for their own reasons. Your videos definitely have the most peaceful, simplistic (in a good way), calming qualities to them. Keep up the good work!
Brings whole new meaning to "going out to eat." 😁
It's 11.30 pm and my mouth is watering watching you cook up those bushcraft meals really enjoyable watching thanks.
My favorite cooking show on KZread!
That has to be the best meals I've ever seen in the woods!
Love the way you cooked the egg with bacon for wall support.
Absolutely amazing videos , minimal talking - no talking , no music , just the sounds of your surroundings
Well that was pretty damn awesome. Hungry now for some bacon n eggs and a sweet apple n snow combo for dessert! Good stuff.
Best bushcraft cookout video ever! Man everything was delicious when I tried this!
This seriously needs to have much more views. This is the best outdoor cooking video on youtube
Another great video. My favorites are the ones where you show off your cooking skills.
All with an IPhone 6, amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I find this relaxing to watch
Vanilla snow ice cream, brilliant! Another great video with just an iPhone 6. Amazing.
