This video sure brings back memories of my younger days (I'm 72 now). As a Vietnam vet, when anxiety & depression started to get overwhelming, I found that spending a night alone in the woods (especially during winter) was emotionally cathartic. On a side note - your shelter was very similar to the type I would build.

He did a really good job on his shelter. I had to do this for cold weather survival school in the army while stationed in Alaska. They made us use parachutes and wood to make a small shelter then cover it with snow for insulation. Lastly we lit a candle inside to keep us warm but we couldn’t sleep with it on. I much rather have this type of shelter though. Well done!

This sound is so wonderful. To the person who is reading this comment, i wish you great success, health, love and happiness!!!!

A good bush survival tip for those cold nights: Take a few pieces of stone (preferably VERY dry stone to avoid popping/exploding - round dry granite-type river stones work the best) and lay them around the fire as you cook. An hour before bed, bury a few of them very shallow UNDER your leg and feet-area in your sleeping shelter. They will warm the ground and radiate heat up through the dirt and your pine bedding. Now I understand the ground was likely frozen where you were but I still would have at least tried to dig a shallow rock pit under my sleep area before constructing the shelter. Yeah, it sucks to collect and re-bury them right before bed, but they will throw heat literally all night and your legs and feet won't be cold.

It's what we called a bough whiffen back home in NL, Canada, in the 70's. We had a walk of 4 or 5 miles into our old log cabin. So over the years we'd built a few of those when the weather would change on us along the trail. We used them over and over, as needed, until the needles fell off the branches and we'd replace them. We made our bed out of spruce boughs rather than foam, which wasn't as available back then. A good Arctic sleeping bag, good for -40F, made all the difference. Great educational video. I haven't seen something like this in a long time.

I turned 50 just last September. I was talking to my wife just a couple days ago that I woke up one morning reminiscing how grand the 1980s was when I realized that it wasn't exactly "recent", but it is 3 or 4 decades ago. Then I told my wife that I'm getting old too quickly and didn't want to put off things I will regret not doing while I can.

This is a video I have returned to a few times. I am looking to learn new skills, and bushcraft is a set I desire. I found this informative, but very relaxing, due to no music and just the sound of nature. I love the channel and it has become a staple of my week now. Sitting down with my little dog in an evening with a cup of coffee and watching your videos has become a comfort.

The best thing about your content is , that you let us just enjoy it without constantly talking..)

I kind of love how understated all the hard work and ruggedness is in this video. "It was very soft" - we're talking outdoor soft, not, "sealy queen mattress soft", but after the hours of work setting up the shelter and cutting, I'm sure it felt amazing! Most people, (including myself) have no true appreciation of the fortitude, (mental and physical) it takes to do something like this and make it look so easy. I loved this video, it shows off your skill and guts without all the usual KZread chatter. I deeply appreciate your skill and talents as a woodsman and filmmaker!

I have slept in the wilderness in a bag during the summer when I was muuuuuuch younger. Being outdoors makes one appreciate the little things and the silence in the video is awesome. Thank you!

Amen!!!! I used to go camping all the time too. It was wonderful! I miss doing it.

The snow videos are my favorite. Even though Ill probably never do it, I can imagine how cozy and peaceful the night is with the right set up

Amazing video. Brilliant shelter and a great example of thriving in a bushcraft shelter. Well done…thank you for sharing.

Thank you for building a practical actually useable shelter. I see other channels build crazy things with smokey chimneys that will kill you with smoke inhalation, or floors that will rot, or take WAY too much time to build. Anyway, it is highly refreshing to see an actually good survival shelter that is quick enough and practical enough to be useful.

@@BobLeton no. Not ignorant at all. This is a practical shelter for IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY USE. While you can definitely build something like what you're talking about, it takes a lot of time and you'd need something like this first. Just so you don't die on the first night.

When I was young this was the way to enjoy nature and my own existence. Not tough enough to weather that kind of cold anymore!

one of the best shelters I've ever seen and so comfy too....thanx man for sharing

I seem to have accidentally sat here quietly for twenty minutes watch this. Awesome video, good idea to caption everything instead of talking because it kept a very peaceful flow.

One crucial detail that was overlooked: Make sure to build a reflector around the fire. This makes the fire more resistant to wind and rain but most crucially directs up to twice as much heat towards you. Ideally use large flat stones, but stacks of smaller stones or, in a pinch, stacks of logs (a bit further from the fire so they don't burn) will also do the trick.

Good tip. Do more during daylight, make camp early, take empty canteen to fill with snow, you need lots of carbs and water. I like plastic tarp and foam pad for sleeping on snow/wet ground.

I've seen several famous and skilled outdoorsman prove that it doesn't really deflect much heat, but it does shield from wind and can help with rain if you got a small stone covering too. So I still support them but I am skeptical of the heat thing.

I remember doing the wilderness survival merit badge for Boy Scouts, I had to built a a shelter like this and sleep in it overnight, when I woke up the next morning I was freezing cold and covered in tons of bug bites!

Yep! I remember I built mine lower to to the ground and got as much insulation as possible. I think at that temperature you have to do the lean to thing with the reflective fire 🔥

I can't believe I watched this entire video. It was very relaxing.

Nice to see the date and location -- often lacking in other videos of this type. Love the wooden cup, too!

I agree with others. Excellent video! No endless chatter, just calm tranquility and a lot of useful information. I often hike in the mountains where I live but have never stayed the night. I might try it sometime.

I know the feeling of sleeping close by fire. It’s so peaceful. I have slept lots of nights in mountain’s caves abroad. This video brought back a lots of memories. Thanks for making one.

It was good to be along with you this peaceful night. Cheers!

The sound of nature is so freeing, less talking and more listening.

Which place is this in Alberta

amazing video, no disturbing music, no confusing comments, just the genuine essence of being in the nature 👍

Done more than my share of backwoods camping, some in temps down around -20F. This was great to watch; I love those natural ambient sounds! At 64 with arthritis in my knees and hip, I might lay for a bit in that nice shelter, then sneak over to my Chevy Tahoe parked out of camera range and drive to the nearest motel 75 miles away.

I find it very relaxing watching other people work.

It's a very satisfying feel of how much a campfire can actually warm you despite the harsh cold.

I remember digging tunnels inside of snowbanks as a kid and just laying there for hours, brings back a lot of memories

It gives me so much peace while watching your videos. Thank you so much😃

Your idea of shelter is the best in KZread

Great video and sharing your knowledge and experience. Appreciate seeing such grit and toughness in a world that has become so soft and “comfortable”

I don't know how to describe their life, it looks so beautiful and warm yet extremely ferocious. I really want to experience living their atleast once in my life, everything seems to be organized and I love how children are provided with education. It's totally like some other world, away from the hustle of city life. Thank you for showing us this side of the world.

Im so glad there is no annoying music. I would like the guy to talk once in awhile. Say Im doing this because x,y,z etc. Its better than looking away to read subtitles.

Great video. I enjoyed watching all that you accomplished successfully to stay warm,fed and dry.

I love how to made sure you targeted the clusters instead of finding the best tree possible. When I was in Boy Scouts my troop was very strict about being ethical with wild life and nature, and this was one of the ways we were taught to find wood when we needed larger trunks.

Perfect simple construction. Nothing too complicated, & it doesn't take very much time to set up. Excellent for traveling survival.

God bless you lad stay warm always cut twice as much as you need stay well

Thank you for the natural theme, I'm in Vietnam looking forward to receiving your love

I love the idea of starting from scratch and seeing what kind of camp you can come up with

Most peaceful video ever, the crackling and the vibe that you are there as well 🌹♥️✌️

Perfect video, no narration. So rare to find. Thank you🙏🏾

Outstanding video!! Your cinematography is exemplary! Many of us realize and appreciate the incredible effort it takes in setting up your camera angles, editing, etc. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great video.

That also blows heat away though

I felt like I was right there, so much so that I started blowing away smoke from your pipe.....to then realise I was in fact watching a video, I have not been so immersed in a video like I was here for such a long time. That was amazing, keep up the great work.

I like the whole survival vibe going on here that contrasted by the pre-packaged, processed food. We are often beset by the ironies of our lives.

So peaceful and tranquil. I do a lot of solo camping and winter is by far the best time.

I always tell people I went through our extra cold spell I'm Texas last winter without turning on any heat. But watching videos like this reinforces that it's easy to do. Even without a fire indoors.

One of my all time favorite shelter videos.
