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.

Thank you once again Mike.
This channel has quickly grown to be one of my favourites, congrats on 100k subs
You're officially my favourite bushcrafter now. Production value, content quality, and your hosting are all on point. The time you've invested in uping your game has really paid off, bro. These bushcraft wild camping vids are always my favourites, though digging the other content as well. Love it when your dad comes along too, you guys are great together. My chihuahua and I are big fans! ❤
I like this silent approach in the video. As always, very relaxing to watch.
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

TAFishing is 100% AWESOME, no doubt about it. God Bless, have a great day. 🇺🇸
A big leap forwards in both production values and style. A high contrast shallow dof cinematic feel which looks great coupled with the silent primitive technologies presenting style which works
I know it’s a older vid, but I’m just getting to it. I’m very surprised that it had low viewing. But this vid is one of my favorites. Very educational, oh and I love the bugs 🐜 Info. Most channels I support don’t ever talk about them. 👍
Thanks for folk like you - a great video, better than anything on telly - taoutdoors and tafishing are superb 👍
owned me within 30 seconds! Beautiful!
Giant ants,spiders and mosquitos.my" favorite "! Excellent video !!
One of your finest videos

TA Outdoors to be fair every one of your videos are truly amazing, I download them to watch on holidays and car journeys etc even after watching them 3 times, they are amazing, thankyou!!
This video has re-freshed my forgotten bushcraft skills . Cracking vid mate
Excellent video! The descriptive second half was great, but I really did enjoy the silent part in the beginning too. It made me feel like I was actually there going through the experience myself.
ALL of your videos are so informative, Mike. The close-up filming (especially, the ugly varmints) and editing was excellent. These two activities are what make your videos superior to most other outdoor/bushcraft KZreadrs, IMHO. Thanks for all of your hard work in bringing us these videos.
That's really beautiful intro!!!Thank you for ur hard work to make this video.
Getting better and better Mike. I like how you mix up the subject matter.
Good bush-crafting you do I enjoy it, learn from you. Good cooking, always looks real good. Good people and no dog. Tks Mike.
Thanks mate, always a joy watching and learning from you.
Thanks for taking your time to share with us a wonderful vedoe enjoyed watching it's great to see you out and about wish you all the very best my friend
Congratulations on the 100K subs Mike!

Mike I would say you are not amateur, you have allot of skills in Bush craft I have learned a lot.great job.
"David Attenborough up in here..." laughed so hard! Thanks for sharing with us....
I just love how educational your videos are... You know both the outdoors and about those that dwell there. I definately learned alot about these insects, having a deeper appreciation for them while camping now.... ALOHA
This video was incredibly tranquil and so serene. Amazing work.
Probably the most educational/informational vid I've watched! On my 2nd go around. Thanks!! I'll need to watch it a few more times, especially the first 25 minutes!
Best bushcraft video Ive seen....great! Thanks!
Don’t get KZread, didn’t come across this in my subscription list but it just appeared this evening and wow! I’m glad it did, one of my favorite videos so far Mike. It had a bit of everything, the filming was superb (obvious limitations of camera), loads of info, some great skills and I love your sense of humor too! Brilliant!

Your videography skills are what set you apart.
Love this video. Especially the nature shots. Congrats on 106K subs!
Subbed about a month ago. Binge watching. Thank you for this one. I learned a lot about how to use the natural resources to our advantage. Never thought of making rope out of tree roots before or the bug torches. Makes me wanna get out there & try my skills at doing the same. Thank you!!
Great video Mike. I really enjoy watching the videos of the times you send fishing with your dad, it reminds me of the years spent fishing and camping with my father.I cherish these times looking back. Best wishes to you both.
I enjoyed it to the end! Thanks very much for taking us with you! Very informative video! Lynn XXX
Great vid thanks for the new direction your heading ..... and You Got me with the LEMON JUICE MACKRELL nom nom ... loved those midge torches.
Great vid Mike, thanks, always love your content, learnt a couple of new things on this one, the 2 sticks for stripping the roots and the feather stick technique for holding bannock on the stick! Great stuff. Will try this, keep up the awesome work!!
Awesome video. Love the smoke lanterns idea. Will have to try it next time I'm outdoors.
Excellent episode mike!! Old one but good.
Amazing watch, Mike. Really makes my day after work and chills me out. Great work!
That intro was really top-notch.
Cheers. Really nice video, mate. Well made. Hurt my back taking down some ash in the woods this weekend, so I couldn't do any bushcrafting. But then I watched this instead. Thanks.
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. (Subbed)
What a great video. Loved the way you showed everything you were doing. I learned a thing or two anyway. Thanks bro.
Very relaxing video. Thanks for taking me along.
Wonderful to watch you work, amazing work with your hands.!!
Excellent camp set up, nice overnight adventure, cheers from MI, US.
I posted on your KZread discussion page asking if you'd be willing to make a video for us beginners. Love your work and talent on the videos you do bud. Keep up the outstanding work! Really inspiring me to get out and do some solo overnights in the Grasslands not far from where i live.
