When you cleaned the pot with sand/dirt, did you wash it with water or just wiped it with a cloth? I'm asking this because, on your 2nd day, the pot did not have any sand/dirt in it.

Good basic camp out with a useful skills review. Refreshing to see a bushcraft guy who will show himself reading and learning while out in the woods.

Great build. A helpful suggestion, grab another set of those size tarps. I would double up to get double air insulation. and for added water proofing. Thats a trick I learned here where I am in the Smoky Mountains because it rains a lot. Ive camped all over the Rockies too, you could benefit from this tip.

Again just started watching these vlogs and it’s very entertaining to watch you learning and adapting your new skill sets. Particularly enjoyed you playing with the dog (? name if I may ask) He always seems overlooked but I know you’re very busy. Doing a great job, I’ll be watching ...... Thanks 🙏

It's addictive to fill a shelf with food like that, even better to eat it. Those lanterns, if you're lucky, can be found extremely cheap. We found another one locally for just 65$ :). It's a Adlake Kerro Canadian Pacific Railway lantern, the one I use happens to be my grandfathers.

This is one of the nicest well constructed and designed shelters on You Tube. Your dog is so cool, lying on the ground with his legs crossed and just chillin'...so quiet, too. Your load out must have been in the high 40's with all those mason jars of food. I noticed you didn't shake your blanket before rolling it up. I'd be afraid of bringing home ticks, spiders and other creepy little insects. Great video. Very enjoyable, Nicholas.

That's great what you built there. In Germany, building something in the forest is forbidden by law. I am really jealous. If I could, I would build something like that. But even if you own a forest you have to get permission for that and that is very difficult. 90 percent of all applications do not give you permission. Sometimes I regret living in Germany. Thank you for sharing your experience and work here. Keep it up. Always give everything, but never give up. Greetings from Germany. Oh, one more question, what is this belt you are wearing?

The camp looks great, it still holds up very nice! Have you ever thought about using the moss as roofing? Or is that not an option there? The video looks good, I like all the different frames! I always wonder why you use the matches for your lantern instead of a little stick from the fire? Hope you have a nice trip! Joshua

@wituikbws

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I have, that was actually the original plan, but we never got around to it. It worked out however because if we had the weight of wet moss, and then snow on top of it, the shelter would have collapsed without a doubt. I have never thought about just using the fire hahaha, I'll do that next time instead of wasting my matches

We had kerosene lanterns when I was younger for emergency lightening. They were a little bit bigger.

It's fantastic you built, and have this shelter and continue to build on it. Great video as always, but the one thing I may have done differently is in regards to the sand behind the fire pit rocks. Obviously from my pov here on a computer screen I can't see the type of sand it is, but some sand will retain water and since it's actually higher than what you scrape out of pit, you may be surrounding the backside of the pit with a sponge for when it rains.... Again very hard for me to see the type of sand, but I highly appreciate the fire retardant application.
