I’ve really enjoyed the content so far, and often have wished the clips were a little longer - if this is just the teaser; I’m excited to see the full “series”, and to see FTCN grow 😃
Excited to see what's coming! Winter camping/hiking is one of my favorite things to do, so it will be great to learn some new things incase it turns into a survival scenario lol. I know a lot already, but I'm always willing to learn more! I'm addicted to learning lol.
I know how you feel. I'm a bit worried that when I leave my job as a survival instructor to start the homestead that my learning will stop. It's such a nice thing to have experts around me all the time. I guess I'll just have to get guest instructors in the course I set up.
Like that you don't edit out the nearby village. It show that you can actually practice survival skills and still have an 'emergency out' plan. And in the winter, if you're off the ski tracks, no one is going to stumble into your camp, anyway. And practising new skills, testing new kit or a new habitat, it's not necessary to 'disappear into the wilderness'.
@@FollowTheCompassNorth It's actually something I reccommend to firsttime campers. Pitch the tent in your garden and, cook and sleep out a night. They learn how to pitch their tent and what they need or not in the backpack. I have a slightly older Fjellräven Akka series tunnel tent. Wonderful design, compact, solid and light. You can supposedly pitch it even during a storm, but in order to do that you need to KNOW how to pitch and repack it correctly. I've seen people arriving at a camping site when it's raining, and trying to pitch an 'igloo' type tent that they've never even unpacked before. It's sad, and in an emergency situation dangerous as heck. They could go to the public washroom and take a hot shower and hopefully put on dry clothing, but if they were on a hike, miles from civilisation, drenched and cold... Hypothermia can kill even if it's not freezing outside.
That's the plan! I have a bunch of footage already showing what I'm doing but it'll take time to edit and voice in a way that makes sense and tells the story while being educational.

We are too! The eventual goal is a lot of longer videos showing how it works in the real world instead of in a shop on a nice bench.
Definitely a beautiful place. It is nice to see the face behind the film sometimes. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
Thank you, it'll be interesting to see the change from my end as well.
Damn, Follow the Compass North followed the compass north
Lol, you have a point.

All true. I've done deep woods camping/hiking before but it's not a requirement to enjoy the outdoors.

Very excited for the change
Me too, though I can usually do one filming take and then voice over so it'll be more work to get it right.
Very beautiful and cool video!
Thank you very much!
Nice change. Just keep the greeat info comming.
