Solo Bushcraft Camp in a Bug Infested Forest - Giant Ants, Spiders and Mosquito

Ойын-сауық

I head into the Bug Infested woods to camp on my own. I build a raised bushcraft shelter using natural cordage, make natural smoke lanterns with a fungi, scavenge for wild edibles and fruit and fry fresh fish on the campfire.

    Here is a tip. You might want to consider planting trees or cultivating your resources. I used up all the material in my back yard and now I don't even have enough wood for fire. Since your cutting down a lot on dead standing wood you might want to consider felling a few live big tree and planting resources below that way you don't run out of resources in your area. - Josh

    Hi Mike, i really enjoyed your video, your filming and editing are inspiring to watch, i think i need to up my game lol. I hope you don't mind if i could share a couple of tips, i am not trying to teach you how to suck eggs or anything like that, just some that may help you out in your future camps. Regarding the natural cordage, when working with coniferous roots, i have found, if you first dry out the roots either naturally or by the heat of a fire, their longevity will increase, as any natural fiber which is used straight from harvesting will shrink over time,( shrinkage occurs greatest upon first drying) thus making your cordage weak, and that could have disastrous consequences for you at a later date, i e. you go back in a few weeks, and try to use the bed again. Also rather than twisting them up into cordage, which is time consuming, if you instead braid them into a 3 strand ply(like girls use to braid their hair) you will be able to make the cordage up quicker, saving on time. I have made 10 feet in less than an hour by braiding the roots. Another tip regarding the smudge fires, i noticed that you put them out in front of your shelter set up, and the breeze was blowing the smoke away from the bed, an alternative to this would be to put them under the bed set up, like the native Aboriginals from Australia do, to keep biting mosquito's at bay, by allowing the smoke to permeate up through the bed structure. Lastly(you say thank god, he can go on a bit) a tip for your bannock, rather than putting the Brambles/Black berries through your dry mix, then adding water, then kneading the mixture, resulting in a purple bannock, i make the dough up first then add the berries to the dough, by folding them in gently, and when cooked you break open the hot bannock, revealing the squidgy luscious cooked fruit (aaaarrggghhh! hhmmm hot Bannock). Sorry about that i just had a Homer Simpson moment there, and drooled all over my key board. Anyway i digress, please don't take my comments as criticisms, they are just merely the mumblings of a Bushcraft anorak. And thank you again for the delightful video. All the best. Cheers Stuart.
