The sounds of the forest, and your activities is all that’s needed.

Without saying a word, you have a remarkable ability to demonstrate techniques (like your construction of your tarp setup) and transport viewers into your experience by cutting to beautiful shots of wildflowers and the sight and sound of rain hitting the tarp. I swear I could smell the food. Really great video Nicholas.

Thank you! It's something I work on constantly. It's an issue I noticed with most other "silent bushcrafters", they don't really show a story, rather they just jump around to random things they're doing. It seems to work for them though, so maybe I'm doing it wrong? Who knows haha

Well done. Sure took a lot of time editing. You have become one of my favorite channels. The no frills, no fancy gear or clothes, just you and nature is what makes it seam so real. Congratulations!

Enjoy the full video! A lot of work is put into these longer videos, so if you could drop a like if you enjoyed it and remember to share it, it'd be greatly appreciated! I've also changed a lot of the aspects about how I produce my videos. I specifically am trying to make the videos more engaging by trying different editing techniques as well as separating the trailer and the video to make it more straight to the point. Your feedback is important for me to know what works and what doesn't, so if you could comment some feedback on what you liked and didn't like about this video, it'd be greatly appreciated! It's important for me to know what you thought. If you missed it, there was a separate cinematic trailer released two days before this video.

Great video as always, editing and cinematography is top notch. Its obvious you have an "eye" for getting the right angles. Your ability to tell the story without words is what holds people's attention so well I think. We want to SEE where its going. As a side note, I'm curious do you carry a lockback in the pouch beside your fixed blade? I like vintage Schrade LB7'S, but usually carry a Great Eastern Cutlery 44 gunstock jack slipjoint beside my Falkniven frej. The GEC is on my belt daily in addition to any other pocket knife I'm carrying. Keep up the great work, always looking forward to new things from you.🤠👍

Love the sounds of nature. The rain, crackling fire, thunder. Perfect.

good vid bud. Nice to see some other Canadian guys out there in the rockies (They are also my stomping grounds). I'm curious about your protocol with storing food and the likes out there with bears, I've always cooked and stored my food away from my camp but I've noticed quite a few guy cooking in their camp and I'm considering it myself as it is super inconvenient to do so unless you've built up a cooking camp in the area. One thing feedback wise is that I think that the 30 minutes and under videos are best, especially for younger guys like me with short attention spans.

I usually always have the dog with me, and then the rifle and bear spray an arms length away. I wouldn't imagine a bear would be all to interested in a loud human and a smelly dog, even if there was food in the mix haha. Thanks for the feedback though! I'll take that into consideration :)

Ask away! I have no problem in answer questions. This video was extremely limited on what I felt comfortable doing in the storm. I wasn't too keen on walking around the open area with the lightening so close, and the rain is always a worry as well since my camera isn't weather sealed. That's why it was missing so much content! The next camping video to come out is going to hit a lot of those marks, for example; foraging, camp cooking, carving, and there was some fishing but unfortunately it wasn't filmed, but I do have other videos with fishing in them! Hunting as well.

It's likely that you just haven't noticed the differences yet. For example, look up an Amish man on Google images. There aren't much similarities, aside from a felt hat which is common place in Western society, no matter what religion you are. I dress like a pretty standard fair western Canadian. I'm sorry to hear that about your country though. I've had a few German people mention the laws being harsh there. I find it pretty ridiculous they'd actually ban such a thing.
