Hobbit Tent Camping with a Woodstove - Bushcraft, Knife, Backpack | Early Winter Camp
Ойын-сауық
I head out to the forest to do some early winter camping and bushcraft in my hobbit tent and woodstove. I setup the canvas one man tent, which is an ex-military surplus tent called a polish lavvu. I collect firewood, and get the stove fired up before the cold night sets in. I cook a beef stew in a pot on the woodstove and sleep on a full belly of food and ale!

I love your method. Everything is organized/compact/light/tasty food!
3:16 when you formed a hood over your head with the ponchos and said, "woo woo"...you definitely were your dad:)
Your daughter is extremely lucky to have an awesome dad like you
I've got six kids and when you get your first one, it begins; sleep deprivation, less doing things when you had no kids. Life happens and we adapt as dads and that's a good thing. Keep pushing outdoors and as the little one gets mobile, you'll be packing them into the woods with you and you will learn how that changes your experience. It will be super fun to film that. Cheers!

If your daughter was born on the 20th of December, then she shares the day with my daughter, but with a few years between them. My daughter is now 45 and my son is 38. Make the most of the time when they are young as time will fly by and you will wonder where it went. Great video as always. Best regards, Phil, on the south coast of England.
When I was 10 years old (1990) we played with friends with these matches. They were called "hunter's matches". In chemistry class, the teacher taught us how to make them. We made fireworks and small bombs using these matches. I don't understand your surprise about them, they can continue to burn under water ))) I'm from Russia and I love your videos very much )

Others have said it, but I can't believe she's almost a year old already! And your sense of time will only get worse, so be ready. My daughter was born yesterday, has been in our lives for ages, but she's only 5. The changes are daily and watching that evolution is the greatest joy. Can't wait to hear how things go over the next few years and beyond
I have the same tent, and recently bought a tent stove. I had been looking for a cheap and easy way to protect the tent from the stovepipe, and never even thought to just source some sticks at my location. Brilliant.
You can go to a welding supply store and buy “fire blanket” that can go around the stove pipe

Welder gloves are really great too, because you can even handle stuff "inside the fire" ... and I would advise wearing those with really simple linen gloves you can get in stores which sell workwear and are really cheap[1]. This way you can a) make the leather welding gloves good for colder weather (you can actually wear several of these linen gloves on top of each other) and b) it makes the inside of the gloves softer and "washable". [1] The gloves I mean are REALLY SIMPLE and they are not "handed", so you can wear them on either hand. They cost about 1€ per pair in the store I buy from ... because I just buy them as a pack of a dozen.
15:30 Yup, can confirm! Hot metal looks just like cold metal, and you won't enjoy your camping trip much with a handful of blisters :)
I insulate my stove pipe with a firesleeve...after bird of prey swooped on it and injured itself ...the firesleeve prevents scorching and improves the efficiency of the stove by 60 % at least ...less fuel longer, burn time and safe wildlife...great filming as usual Mike... thanks.
Think he is a very wise bushcrafter and in a case of disaster would like to have him as a buddy.
I really enjoyed this video. You saying your daughter almost pulled down the Christmas tree reminded me of the time my twin brothers were about 4. It was Christmas morning around 3 am and the house alarm went off. We all wake up confused and go downstairs to see that the boys got so excited for presents they ran downstairs next to the tree and knocked off a big metal bell ornament. The house alarm thought it was glass breaking and went off. My parents had to talk to the alarm company at 4 in the morning on Christmas! My brothers are now 16 and I miss when they were so cute and mischievous.
It's good to just sit and watch a video of a cool guy camping and chatting. With the current climate it's good to just chill out.
didnt know i needed to watch a dude camp in the woods but here i am, enjoying myself
Babies grow right before your eyes, glad you are able to be there to see it all.
My daughter Charlotte will be 6 on the 20th of December, same day as your daughter Eve. She is my 3rd daughter, and the one I have learned the most from. Being a parent is honestly, and I'm sure you know, THE single best thing in life! I hope that you and your family are able to stay safe through all of the crazy in the world today, and come out the other side unscathed. Thank you for the content, Cheers my distant friend!!
Right there with you mate. My boy turned one in late November. Absolutely life changing and magical. My boy keeps finding the internet hub and turning off the WiFi while we're working 😂. They're like permanently drunk little elves.
I absolutely get how your priorities just flip all the way around with being a new dad. My son is around two months younger than your Eve. This year has been challenging as I also finished my bachelor level studies this November (after three years of woking 4 days a week and going to school 1 day and an evening each week). I called being a new dad "a paradigm shift".
i started watching TA fishing years ago. i dont watch these videos often, but when i do i think to myself Gram must be proud
I love your Hobbit Tent trips. It really gets me excited to get out in the woods and do a winter camp of my own. Most people don't realize how relaxing a solo winter camp can be for a man.
My son is 15 months. I can sympathize with you. He goes everywhere at a run and is crazy smart. He can unlock baby proof latches. I love your channel, you were one of the first bushcraft channels I subscribed to.
That is a nice little stove. Your daughter is just getting started in teaching you how fast life can change.

The little comment “No one is going to believe me now. Uh” was so funny
the lavvu hobbit tent 🏕 the best!!!
I would love to see a treehouse over night camping video love your vids
That stove is amazing! Looks like you could use the bag to haul your cut wood, thus never setting it on the wet ground
Kids are a handful, and your life is never the same, but then, you won't really miss life before Evie. Cheers Mike, God bless!
Glad to see you back out 👍🏕🪓
Just remember all parents know what you mean an make sure your daughter comes first bro we your fans will understand
Welcome back. It is nice to see some lighter moments which can only come by inheritance from your Dad.
I need one of those bags so bad, my bag is a sub 100 dollar Amazon piece of trash. Bushcraft and camping and being a poor college student do NOT mix lol. Thanks for the video man, I love watching stuff like this it feels like home!
Oh wow. Can't wait to get back out there to camp and overnight. This video was therapy. Thanks.
1 eyelet is smallest. 2 eyelets medium. 3 eyelets large. The eyelets are evenly spaced so you can gauge from the video that a large is only around 10cm longer than the small ... but when pitched you get a few extra inches at head and feet when sleeping. All 3 sizes are same height. Glad to see the Lavvu pitched with the shoulder flaps on the inside ... otherwise water can drain in through the arm holes. Loved the video!
Congrats on the arrival of your baby , hope. You are doing well. Also im glad to see you back as well.
"Oh, my days!" What a remarkably hobbit-y thing to say for such an occasion! I have a couple of boxes of UCOs that I just bought, too: haven't used 'em yet. Thanks for the warning!
That pack with the organiser pouches looks perfect for my carp and barbel fishing sessions.
Fresh air with natural..
I think that stove pipe is genius! Thanks Mike for showing us! 👍😁
Could not think of a better way to spend the rest of my evening before bed. Cheers Mike!
FINALLY a foldable stove small and light enough for backpacking!
I'd love to see a movie-length video with 3 or 4 friends, such as Dustin. Maybe even bring a few rookies along to share some Bushcraft skills.
I bought a Lavvu because our fox kept jumping on my Hexpak like it was a trampoline. This kept her amused for hours! I love mine. Lovers of the Lavvu we should organise a 'Lavvu Love-in'' once this is all over. Love the Lavvu!
Zippo actually make a set of matches like that called Hurricane matches. They work very well. I use them all the time.
Thank boss it was so nice to see you camping again.
Beautiful out there - I'm glad you got to go but also that you were anxious to get home to the family. That stove is astounding! Super small and then opens to cook on and keep the tent warm. Perfect. Enjoy her while she's tiny; in no time, she'll be an adult!
Nice to see you out again.
Glad you are still at it Mike. Parenthood can take a lot of time. You will adjust as time goes on . Thanks for taking the time to do these. Very much appreciated.
Great vid 👍 The best base for any stew is a good beer 🍺

Thanks for your wonderful videos. You give so much positive optimist energy. Thank you.
Thank you. Remember, keep your daughters Birthday separate from Christmas. My DB is the same and combining birthday and Christmas as one event has made me dislike Christmas since I was a child. Glad you are back making videos camping. love you channel for a long time.
Oh man! First comes walking then she will be running! That wont stop for a few years. My boys have fallen broke bones and the next day they are running again. Good luck Mike!
The stove is a good size to stack rocks on to stay hot after the fire is out. For a long term camp it can be cased thickly with clay to make a heat sink.
Can’t beat the Polish Lavvu, I love mine! Combined with a stove, a perfect combo! Great video brother!

Becoming a parent is the most amazing thing. My daughter's birthday is 23rd Dec.
I'm glad you could enjoy your first year with Eve, and I'm sure your wife enjoyed having more of you! I enjoyed the other videos! You have the best stoves, this one and the one for the pallet cabin!

You are really cool I am a new subscriber to your channel and I watched almost all of the videos I am an Arab from Jordan and I love building huts and camping trips that keep us away from the noise of the city And I hope that one of the satellite TV channels will adopt your inimitable talent in building I wish you success
Nice videos -> keep going! Found theses specs from Amazon. So, the varied sizes are dependent of the user of poncho. The ponchos are for the specified height: Size 1 for 160-170cm (5'3" - 5'7") height Size 2 for 170-180cm (5'7" - 5'11") height Size 3 for 180-190cm (5'11" - 6'3") height
wonderful camping travel, let's ride with me guys
Nice to see you out again. Sold me on the Pomoly
That stovepipe design is brilliant.
We've really missed your overnighters, Mike. So happy you had a bit of time to spend in the woodlands camping. As always, a complete joy to watch the video. Hope all is well with you, Em, and Little Miss TA Outdoors....and, of course, our favorite Jack Russell terrier, Jaxx!!! 👍❤️️
Hello everyone I like primitive Life ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Could use some medium & large soup cans around the stove pipe as heat shields to go through the tent opening.
Love the overnighters, very nice thanks.

It’s great to see you back out in the woods back to your roots. Hope you enjoyed it & that the Lovely ladies at home are keeping well (as well as dad & all) Much love 💕
Love it. I used to love loafing around and stretching the last day out as well, until kids. You can see the responsibility tugging at you! Just know it means your priorities are in order, and you can grab food on the way home. It's all worth it, just like any investment. Love the channel.
In Poland this poncho called pałatka. It used to be using in polish people army after ww2. Nice equipment
The wood stove is the best part do more wood stove campings
Best outdoors channel there is, much love from the US!
My lil niece is only a month older than your daughter and it's such a privilege to watch her grow up. Like Eve, she is hitting milestones left and right. It's crazy to think where the time went. Congratulations and Merry Christmas. Hope eve enjoyed her first birthday!
I'm addicted to these videos. That's how I wanna live.

looks like a great tent for a country with no insects.

Nice one Mike, good to see you out solo. Eve is at that age when the chase begins for sure, haha. So lovely to hear she is confident and reaching those milestones early.
It’s good to see you back out and about brother look forward to your next video
Feeling of sleeping through the night in the woods like you
Yep. Tough with kids. I'm about to take my wood stove, and hot tent into my back yard this winter. That's as far as I can go from home these days.
Raised two boys! Everyone with families certainly understand how your life has dramatically changed! Not to worry. All things in life will be balanced. Great to see you back. Your videos have made a difficult year really bearable. Thanks, Mike! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Want to camping like that so much. 😍😘
Wow those are some matches wow
Yeah you step on those branches super purposefully
i loved seeing how it slowly got lighter while you were packing up in the end. Very good vibes :)
Great to see you out again. Raising a child is a huge adventure! Enjoy every stage cause it goes by so fast. And try not to have a heart attack when you find her running around on top of the patio table🤣🤣. You’ll survive and so will she. ❤️❤️
Good to see you in the woods! Heck that's a clever stove, the chimney is magic.
Wonderful video, nice hearing about your family, hugs
