Some British bush craft Spain alternatives ?
Переглядів 1,7 тис.8 місяців тому
Hello , this is a little vid of a few items I have bought from some British makers of traditional style bushcraft kit. I had been considering a few items from a company called Bushcraft Spain but due to costs and a wish to support "homemade" kit I got these bits , with a view to maybe getting some other bits that I have had my eye on.

In the forest with the one tigris tangram .
Переглядів 591Рік тому
A pleasant little overnighter in the one tigris tangram trekking pole tent It did the job of sheltering me and keeping the mozzies out. I'm usually under a tarp or in an old skool tent without a bug mesh but this was a nice little change . Must say though that I do generally prefer a tarp or bit of canvas as my shelter but horses for courses sometimes Thanks for watching treksntarps1@gmail.com ...

    Tarps are a million times better than tents. I can pack a tarp that takes up half the space and set it up in half the time, which essentially does the exact same job. Tents are for novice campers. I honestly can't see a pro to a tent over a tarp other than them massive 6 man tents if you require that type of space.

The durability is fairly good , not as a robust as a wool blanket but does the trick . Not sure how the combo would work in colder conditions without a fire.

    What a lovely overnighter mate very mellow. Excellent gear and set up, I've not tried a wool blanket yet, I've got one but I've got to dye it this weekend as it is white 😂 You've got a lovely spot there mate thanks for taking us along 👍

      Cheers bud. Yeah , it was nice . Always yearn for other places but I am lucky to have that forest nearby . Do like using a wool blanket , have their pros and cons though. Take care mate and good luck with dyeing your blanket 😂 👍 🏕

    That was a great, interesting camp Mark. And some interesting comparisons on the use of different types of gear. We all dream of heading off into the horizon, camping along the way Mate. Cheers 👍

    Mark, making char cloth is quite easy really. There's loads of different tutorials on UA-cam for making char cloth. You're right in that you need 100% cotton material, after that it's just about heating it until it stops smoking. Let it cool down, have a quick check that's all burnt and your ready to go. Was interesting to see what happened to yours. 🙂 You're right in that you can use punkwood also. Charwood lasts longer with an ember, which I have found to be better for a birds nest. It's all good fun learning though, i've made loads of learning opportunities for myself also.

      Nice one , thank you. I did manage to make some char recently. Looking forward to testing it out. I think I'll keep it simple and just use cotton for a while then experiment with other materials . Thank you for your feedback . Take care 👌🏕

    Nice video Mark, enjoyed the simplicity of the camp setup. Just a solid simple camp outside enjoying the peace and calm of nature.
