This is a channel that is going to be focusing on bushcraft, outdoors, history and aviation primarily focusing on Warwickshire. We will of course be visiting some of the other great counties and be exploring some interesting walks and days out.
I plan for it to be quit varied and relay a lot of my interests but most of all promote an interest in our wonderful and varied England and help to connect with our surroundings. We are part of nature and nature is us!

Hi, would have liked to have seen you compare this to your zebra billy can. How would you say they compare and which one do you prefer? Do you still use it? Thanks
@@anonymous4201 good idea. Both are great. At the end of the day it’s a pot but I think the pathfinder pot is great. I still use it but a lot of times I’m on my own so I use something smaller. ATB🏕
Do you want contributions?
Thanks for the video. I hope the airfield owners one the appeal.
Hi. It looks like the future is safe for now fortunately. ATB🏕
@@warwickshireoutdoors That's great to hear. ;)
I wonder if I was at the scouting event. I'm a leader near to you I think (Balsall Common) and it was the county squirrel, beaver and cub camp a couple of weekends ago. Noise was comparable anyway!
@@bigtimedwarfer hi mate. Yes this was two days ago. You are indeed just up the road from me. Great to hear from you! ATB 🏕🍻🌳
Hi is there a stainless cup available instead of the aluminium one?
@@brethren4life152 hi there. You could swap it for the original stainless bcb army mug. See link below. Sometimes I use it instead of the plastic one. ATB 🏕🍻 www.amazon.co.uk/Bushcraft-BCB-Crusader-Cup-Canteen/dp/B00CQH2NE6 AT
I did the first burn in mine yesterday... but I used charcoal and grilled a steak. It worked well for that and will do wood next. I was also trying a new gas stove arrangement so boiled up some potato, carrots and broccoli to complete the meal. Thanks for this video.
@@FlashGeiger wow that sounds great. I bet the steak was good. Thank you for watching the film. ATB🏕🍻
It's been an odd summer for sure. Some good purchases there though - I like the beanie and the hammock looks divine. Re-the crusader it has to be a favourite of mine - could chuck anything at it and it will still cook. Well, I trust you're well. Mark
Cheers Mark. Good to hear from you. I hope you are able to get out and do some more swimming before it gets to cold😁🏕
@@warwickshireoutdoors That's OK Anthony. Yeah, been out in the water again. It was still a funny summer.
Nice vid Anthony, just subbed. You have inspired me to get back out again. Bag packed 👍
@@steveproud2893 thank you very much. It just takes a push doesn’t it. I have been a bit lazy recently but went walking this weekend in Bakewell. Legs stiff today but well worth it. ATB🏕🍻
I wish I only spilled coffee one time. Enjoy your camp out.
@@kokopelau6954 I know.
If you don't smoke now I would advise you not to start up with a pipe cigar cigarettes, chewing or anything. I have been teaching meditation and relaxation for over 50 years and stopping tobacco once started is according to my clients the hardest thing they've ever done even harder than stopping cocaine. I am an x user of nicotine I wouldn't start if I were you.
@@kokopelau6954 agreed mate. ATB🏕
Very nice. Looked like a pro!
@@JerryShaver-vb7nd thank you. I need to use it more to be honest. 🏕
The bag was to make more char
@@JerryShaver-vb7nd yeh. You can use it for tinder as well I believe. 🏕🍻
There is a reason the BEST bushcraft knives come witha 3mm and never 4mm or thicker scandi (Moras, Ben Oford, Rob Evans to name some). In my experience, no matter what grind or angle you put on a scandi, if it's 4mm and thicker, it simply doesn't work as good as a scandi with around 3mm thick blade. Add to that, that Scandis by nature,they suck at most other tasks, other than working wood. So, a 4mm or thicker blade with a scandi, makes things even worse for other tasks too.3mm to 3.2mm is perfection, 3.4mm is acceptable for a Bushcraft knife, for a utliitly knife, that you like to choose a scandi, then the thener the blade the better.
@@greekveteran2715 nice one mate. Yes I know what you mean. Gives you an excuse to try them all😁🏕ATB
Good job!!! It IS fun to use the old ways! It is also enjoyable to see others excitement the first time they succeed at doing something new!
@@ericblair3009 thank you. I was thinking the other day I have not used it in a while. I need to though. ATB🏕🍻
Very informative!, thank you. Take care out there.
@@littlegrandadoutdoors thank you very much for watching. I’m glad it was of some use for you. Enjoy the rest of your week. 🏕🍻🌳
Nice review on the firebox, bro. 👍 And to your question, no to the pipe! 😂 If you can when out in nature, give a nice cold plunge a go, followed by some deep breath works. The cold plunge will come as quite the shock 🤣, but you’ll find it more meditative, beneficial, and wonderful than puffing a pipe.
Ha I know what you mean. I love a sauna then cold plunge too. ATB🏕
@@warwickshireoutdoors you’re getting the solid double benefit from both the heat and cold. 👍 So awesome! I haven’t been able to rotate in the sauna time, unfortunately.
Nice Orford knife. He does great work! 👍 I’d love to pick up one of his parangs.
Yeh definitely. Good stuff and very friendly couple. ATB🏕
Nice, bro. 👍 Just subbed to your channel. 👍 Thanks for sharing the vid. I love my Frontline Hammock and DD tarp. I don’t have their under blanket, but have the Snugpack under blanket and it works great with my DD setup.
Yeh I definitely plan to use mine more this year. I just bought the whoppie slings from DD whilst at the bushcraft show. Plan to fit them this weekend. 🏕🍻
Nice, just got one for all my fishing gear
Nice one. My Son uses this a lot now. ATB🏕
Great to be out! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much. 🏕🍻
You got out of the bivi at 4:30am, but at 30:21 the trail-cam shows someone walking by at 3:44am. Spooky. Was it you, or someone else?
Yes it was me making a night time call of nature🏕🍻
Lovely part of the country I used to go to music festivals down your way🙂👍🏻
Cheers mate. Thanks for watching. 👍
it's not a DD XL Hammock
I know. Slip of the tongue. Hence the subtitle. 👍🍻
Ah, a sweet camp there Anthony. I too love that liminal space where one part of the day is fading and another is being ushered in. It's magical. A nice set up - a shame about the sleep. Well, the bluebell wood was looking splendid. It put a smile on your face on the way out. All the best. Mark
Cheers. I don’t mind not sleeping too much when I’m out. I like looking around at night. Mind you at my age it takes a while to recover from a late night. Not like when I was younger!!😁🏕🍻
@@warwickshireoutdoors A pleasure. No, none of us recover from lack of sleep so well now. I could go for days years ago.
Always enjoy your videos. I prefer a stretcher bed to sleep on, above a groundsheet, tarp above, and a quilt. Sleeping bags are too constrictive for me. ATB!
Thank you. I know what you mean. I always seem to get cramp at some point in a sleeping bag. It happens almost every time. ATB🏕
Hi mate to be fair, I sleep on the floor as well. Until about two years ago. An I loved it. Did it in summer and winter.. But still like in a tent 🤣🤣. Top man keep it up mate your doing great. Atb Andy
Cheers Andy. Hope you had a good bank holiday weekend. 🏕🍻
Great video. Love that you mentioned Howling Wolf. Blues fan I take it? Are you still using the DD?
Yes mate. I’ve used it a few times. I have the normal DD and an army basher. The light one takes up such a small space though. 🏕
Cracking video mate. I just ordered a crusader yesterday and can't wait to get it. I was going to use my trangia but now I might get those blocks. A real space saver. Also, hats off to you and your tarp. Gotta love a tarp!
Thank you very much. I know some people moan about the blocks but I like them. They work well with the small bcb folding stove. ATB🍻🏕
Subscribed because of 1) Your musical choices are awesome, 2) you have a dog and 3) you just can't beat a tarp.
Ha thank you very much mate. That’s very king of you! ATB🏕🍻
As a kid I was in the Marine cadets and we always used our squeezed out teabags to clean of the bottoms of our mess tins after cooking with them. I remember how it cleaned off the soot very well. The bags quickly split and the loose tea had a good gentle abrasive action. Our steel mess tins were always shiny enough to shave with.......had we been old enough to shave !
Ha. Great tip. I’ll give it a go. ATB🏕🍻
I smoke a pipe when camping. No other time do I smoke tobacco. It’s nice and almost meditative. Ceremonial tobacco use goes back thousands of years. You should look into what local plants were smoked in your area. Where I live there are several plants that were mixed with wild tobacco. I love the taste of Labrador tea mixed with the tobacco I grow. I get tobacco seed from our yearly seed sale. The strain of tobacco has been cultivated in the pacific west coast since pre-history, and is called 10,000 year old tobacco.
Thank you very much for that. I love the story of the tobacco and local history. Thanks for watching. ATB🏕🍻
Good to see you out and about again. Hopefully you will be repeating this outing again soon. Thank you for making this video and sharing it. Stay well, stay safe.... Helen and Katarin Juska-Law and Terri with Robyn (East Anglian fenlands)

Thanks Steve. Yes come and spend a night in the woods again soon. ATB🏕🍻
Well done mi mate, it's hard to say. But your doing great. Atb Andy
Thanks very much. Good to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement. ATB🏕🍻
I do like my firebox but it’s bastard heavy in the pack. Don’t use it as much as I should.
They are weighty. I tend to put my Bushbox in the pouch where the frame of my ruck sack goes so it’s close to my back. I’m not sure which is heavier but I’ll have to see. ATB🏕🍻
Thanks for the video. I'm always fascinated by that kettle of yours. Which one is it? I'm a pipe smoker. Calms you right down. Nothing like a good coffee, and a smoke. Get a good one. Like a Peterson - they are not cheap, and the best quality tobacco you can find (not supermarket stuff). Then learn the howto's of it. Lots of YT videos on that. And persevere a bit until you get the hang of it. You'll be greatly rewarded. ATB from RSA.
Thank you very much. It’s an Eagle Products kettle. I got mine from Woodlore the Ray Mears online shop. They are from Norway I think. I do like the look of Peterson pipes! Thanks for the advice and ATB. 🍻🏕
Bye the way my wife is from RSA. Port Elizabeth.
A pipe and cherry tobacco. I'm tempted myself, and I don't smoke 😄👍
Ha ha I know what you mean. Thank for watching and your comments. Much appreciated. ATB🏕🍻
Glad to see you doing well. I suffer with lack of motivation now and again. That first step is always the hardest but I always ask myself why I didn’t do things sooner once I get myself out again. I also have taken up smoking a pipe just a few years ago. Most pipe smokers will say it’s a very mindful process forcing you to slow down and focus on breathing. It’s a fantastic pastime but can quickly become a rabbit hole of more pipes and tobacco’s to try. Get a cheap corncob and a tobacco sample and give it a try.
Cheers mate. Great to hear from you. Yes it’s about making good habits stick isn’t it and motivation. Thanks for the pipe advice. I know what you mean about once you get out. It’s like exercising! ATB🍻🏕
Thanks for sharing I smoke a pipe if you log on ytpc on you tube you'll find all the advice you require I'd start off with a savinelli go on GQ Tabacco smoke-,king all what you need if you need more help just ask take it easy
Well done for getting out! Natures therapy! Look forward to see you doing a overnighter!
Thanks very much mate. Yes I need to do more. I’m looking forward to the next few months. I just hope it stops raining at some point here! 🍻🏕
@@warwickshireoutdoors New Sub from across the Pond in Texas i too have the Anxiety Depression and CPTSD and newly diagnosed with NR-Axspa (autoimmune disease) at 36....i understand what that feels like stay in the woods and stay in the therapy of you can look in to TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy) its greatly helped me with mine i still have bouts but its no where near like the old darkness 😇🤗 be well!
@@Bucky1836 all the best mate. I hope you are well and have had a good summer. 🏕🍻
Is that the one from whiterushes Aberdeenshire?
Hi mate. Possibly. I think my brother did say it came down from Scotland although I may have imagined it. It was a while ago. He has sold his share now as he didn’t think it was good for his back.
I can't open the top up seriously I pressed the button and nothing and I've got two of them I also have the tube butane lighters and I can't open those either I have a vision problem
Haven’t used mine for a while. As far as I remember you pull down the metal clip then press the button on the side and it flips open. I hope you sort it out. ATB. If I come across mine I’ll have a look. 🍻🏕
Have this exact one, they use the wrong grade of steel. needs higher carbon
Does yours not work well? Mine seems ok although haven’t used it for a while. I may go smaller. ATB🏕🍻
@@warwickshireoutdoors Yeah iit only puts out like one small spark if I really hammer it. The good ones will put out a shower of sparks if you use them right, Probably the issue is in what the romans called high carbon steel and what is labelled high carbon steel today, which is actually very low carbon steel for this purpose. The carbon content needs to be about 20%, which today would probably be called pig iron. I can get batter sparks just hitting a rock with my framing hammer. I bought this for my bug out bag, so not as a toy but as a legitimate alternative to the many other fire starting methods in my pack, like matches, lighters, magnesium strips, steel wool, batteries, etc.
i got a hand made flint striker and a esee striker i have seen these convy sg 5 flint strikers on amazon for a few bucks i almost bought one a few years ago intel someone made a striker from a file im glad to no it works and well great video you will fall in love with flint steel i have over a ferro rod great video you get my sub
