Dear Andy, There are many things I love and are drawn to your channel, you shoot to eat (and shoot humanly) and you shoot with your camera, to enjoy and appreciate your area of peace and tranquility, you have the perfect balance. You don't sell gear, or endorse your favourite, and above all..... you have shared with us a beautiful and enviable escape. Please don't stop making these because some of us can't do it ourselves, and very much enjoy coming along with you, and learning more for the day we can do it ourselves. Kindest regards, Tim
+BullittDodge Thanks Tim. That's really kind of you Brotha. You made my day ☺ I'm glad your enjoying my videos, and it sounds like we're very much on the same level. Take care bro atb Andy
The camp is looking great and that rabbit looked delicious on the spit. Thanks for "keeping it real" by showing the hunt respectfully but honestly, and showing it as an integral part of your outdoor experience. Really enjoyed coming along on this outing.
This is great. I'm so sick of seeing the shills for the knife companies every time you search bushcraft anything on UA-cam. This is real bushcraft. Not those backyard warriors and their knives. Def got the sub from me. Thanks.
I'm a Robson, which is descended from the Gunn Clan... I love wilderness camping and love your films. I think your channel is one of my favourite bushcraft and outdoors channels... thank you!! Aut Pax - Aut Bellum
+Geoff Robson Thanks Geoff, very kind Brother. Awesome!! Always a pleasure to meet a fellow Gunn descendant. And your surname is still spelt in the correct way, most get changed slightly over the century's. Mines still Gallie. Clan Robson were a huge clan, needed their own castle. I visited your ancestors old castle earlier this year. Not much left, but our clans got a lot of history on them lands. Iv met a few others on my channel over the past months. I was speaking with another Robson (Kevin) on my spring spear video. Really nice guy, lives in the states, but his name had changed in recent generations. Where in the world are you bro? still in the UK?? Cheers Andy Nemo me impune lacessit :)
+Clan Gunn Bushcraft another descendant of Clan Gunn here. Wilson is my last name. Live in Canada, Ontario to be exact. Great vid. You have a subscriber. ATB Mike
Wow, what a difference in performance on your air rifle. I don't own any springers, only pcp air rifles. I didn't realize how much the break in really does help with there accuracy. I really want to invest in a nice spring rifle pretty much exactly as the one you have. I think they have a very important purpose when it comes to prepping and such. No need for pumps or air cylinders, just lube and pellets. Thanks for your videos, I really have been enjoying them. Cheers
Cheers brotha & yes, it's shooting so much better now. It's still got a noisy twang in this video, but iv tuned it up since & it's shooting alot smoother now. Defantly a great tool for preppers or survival, springers are a bit old skool nowadays, but I think basic is best. I'm guna go with the Weihrauch HW 97k next. Supposedly the best springer air gun!? Thanks Andy
Clan Gunn Bushcraft Sounds awesome. I will be watching to see if you post a video with the Weihrauch HS 97k. I will have to do some research and check that one out. Thanks again for the vids. Cheers
Great content mate. One question, is this your land, or has someone given you permission to use and hunt on their land? If the latter is the case, how would you approach somebody to ask for permission? And where would you look to begin with? Many thanks.
Thought I saw a way marker which makes this public land which makes using an air rifle illegal. Great video, just be careful m8. Just realised you are not in the UK 😂
Yes, I own the land... 40 acres and my family own a further 500 acres in the area. There are trails that lead me to my land, as there's no roads! Some of those trails are public! Thanks for watching
Cheers brotha. Yeah, its really comfy, Iv only spent 4 nights on it though. The plan was to build a full length fire pit in front of it to use during winter, but iv just bought a 2 man polish army tipi and a portable tipi log burner. Won't need it till it gets right cold, never had a hot tent, so I'm really excited lol Cheers A
Neat camp setup, good hunting (proportionate to need), nice bit of filming and editing...all make it very easy to watch. Nice one. Am liking the location...slightly envious.....could happily bumble around in that woodland and lose a few days keeping busy with it.....
Nice video! Your pack looks a little too big, but as long as you're carrying it, no problem. I really enjoyed watching. Great shooting, We need more people like you on UA-cam. Thanks! Would love to have been with you on your adventure.
Your a cool kid! I like ya :) I'm old, I can call you a kid. Love your videos and look forward to new ones with much anticipation!! Thanks for sharing!
Hiya. Just subscribed to your channel. Brilliant videos. Whats the Air Rifle you are using and is it the same as the one you were shooting the squirrels with. Thanks in advance. ps is that your own land
+Stephen Patterson Thanks Stephen, muchly appreciated bro. Not sure which squirrel hunts you've seen, but since my camp - hunt video #3, iv been using a BSA Lightning xl se, in .22 calibre. It's the springer version. My older hunts, I'm using a Stoeger X20. Very basic, but shoots hard and straight. I don't own this land, but it is private. A mixture of family and their friends. Approximately 300 acres to play in ☺Thanks again, Andy
Thanks for that. Iv a weihrauch 97k 22caliber but yet to use it out in the wild. Ithought it was yours land as you have a great camp. I have two perms up here in the Newcastle but yet to secure any woods, forest which is really the only reason I would go out shooting. Grey's and rabbits and some quiet time. Perfect. Im very jealous, Keep the videos coming they have got me in the mood again lol
+Stephen Patterson That's awesome mate, and a cracking rifle too. One of the best! Defantly, I hope you get some woodland access soon. You can't beat a bit of quiet time lol. Iv had that yew tree camp for near on nine years now. Eventually I'll buy it and a few acres surrounding, but it's not going anywhere for now. Take care buddy. Andy
watching your adventure brings fond memories and i miss britain use to live their for 10years now im back at my homeland love going to vacation to harrogate though vety beautiful place to live
What I don't understand is, how could your rifle be so accurate? It's a tack driver at 25 meters. I've got a Gamo Swarm Maxxim .22 Cal Multi-Shot Pellet Rifle, and it's not consistent at all. I'm pretty upset with it.
obviously dont say exactly but what area is your camp ? s it on private land ? great video some videos you start to watch but sadly catch watch to the end nice way to spend 28 mins while the boss watches wastenders lol love to find a little place to take the grandson i shoot with a webly raider 10 great lady to pop a few bunny's keep up the great work , and even more so to see you take the time to reply to your comments fella look forward to the next
+sillybillyballs Thanks, that's real kind bro. My camps in Galloway forest, Scotland. Galloway's the largest forest in the UK, approximately 300 square miles. Beautiful place too. My camp and hunting grounds are both on private land, but you can camp pretty much anywhere you like in Scotland. It's not restricted like it is in England. Defantly! You should get out there with your grandson, It'll make some great memory's for you both. The first ever rifle I got as a kiddie was a Webly. Crackin little rifles. Thanks for your comment and take care buddy atb Andy
+Clan Gunn Bushcraft i've had hm out twice but he s only 7 so not got to grps with the idea all the cub scout groups have shut down adventure scouts to nothing for them to join to experence the outdoors as did as a kid but in time im sure ll get him in to it cheers andy
Definitely worth a sub mate. Really enjoy your videos, i'm very jealous of your camp, got yourself a nice location there. Look forward to the next one. All the best, Andy.
Thanks Andy, appreciate it brotha. I spend as much time as I can up there. Back out on Monday for three nights. Hopefully record a few new trap videos while I'm there. Cheers Andy
Yeah, it's shooting a pretty tight group. Wasn't measured out, but it's approximately 25 meters. If you watch the camping video I did before this one, you'll see the massive difference in the groups. In the other vid, the rifles new & was the first time I hunted with it. The grouping was all over the place, but now it's broken in, it's shooting lovely. Sounds alot better now iv fitted a tuning kit to it. Cheers buddy Andy
+feellnfroggy Brands called Ultra, and I got the standard mainspring kit from a site called... gunspares.co.uk. Cost about £50. Upgrade Ox spring kit costs about £20 extra.
Maybe you can consider getting . .22lr, your kill rate will rocket. that 60 yard rabbit would have been in the pot, also there quiter than a .22 springer. soon as I upgraded my kill count went from single figures to 30 odd in an evening.
your the first one I have seen so far that does it right .the air rifle is the best choice for camping or survival .it makes very little noise and hits pretty hard .I was watching one guy out doing a survival video .and he had a 20 gage shotgun .one shot with that and anything besides what e already killed would be gone .not a good choice at all. love your video's
Thanks Susan, that's real kind of you. I do love air gun hunting! Other than bow hunting, I think it's the hardest to master. With a larger calibre rifle you can shoot from a further distance. With an air gun, you've gota stalk in real close. You've got a move in silence and keep hidden. I really enjoy it. From your point of view in a survival situation, I agree. You can't beat an air rifle. Ammo is small and small to medium game is in more abundance than large game, so a higher powered gun is unnecessary. Plus I bet attempting to preserve all that meat from a large beast would be a nightmare in a survival situation. Thanks for watching Susan and take care. Andy
your very welcome Andy .I agree .rabbits are easy to find and taste good and it only takes a few to fill the pot .my rifle will kill anything up to the size of a small deer .I use a hatsan 125 custom built at 30 yards at will drop a deer in its tracks .it has a double spring tune kit .and using my own pellets it has on average of 45 fpe at the muzzle .that's a lot of hit power
Cracking video Andy, It reminds me of when I use to go out hunting rabbits when I was a teenager. My uncle had a small holding and his land was covered in rabbits, they destroyed everything, so we had to keep the numbers down. Atb Glenn.
Thanks Glenn Teenage years well spent mate. I use to clear a few farms, only really hunt for food nowadays, but yeah, the damage to land, crops, building etc is massive. Cattle breaking their legs down burrows. Defantly, a big problem if their not controlled. This plots only 9 acres, but there's no crops anywhere near by so no one bothers them. Well unless I get hungry lolhaha Cheers buddy, subbed back, looking forward to going through your videos. Andy
+Smellvin Yeah, my tinder pouch is made from two Rabbit hides. They were harvested during winter, so there very fluffy. Iv been downsizing my kit recently, and this pouch was a bit to big. I sown up a new, slightly smaller one a few days ago using the larger hide from this video and another hide from my previous vid (#3). I make a double Squirrel trappin pouch in that video aswel. Plus I show my full hide tanning process in my camp#5 vid. Check them out if you get chance. Cheers Andy
+prepster mcar Cheers buddy. It's the 88L, Highlander pro force pack. Still being used by British army, so it's pretty tough. Iv had mine about three years, and it's holding up very well. Comfy too. Thanks Andy
Hi just found your channel great vids what rifle do you use and what are the laws on sir rifles now do you need a licence got them now was looking to get back into it
Thanks Roy, appreciate it buddy. You should get back into it, lots of fun & an air rifles a great hunting/ survival tool to have. The rifle im using in this video is a BSA lightning xl se .22 calibre. No licence needed in the UK for a sub 12lb air gun. For small game like rabbits, squirrels etc, you only need about 5lb of power to knock em down so 12's plenty. Cheers Andy
Ola meu amigo Clan. parabéns por mais um excelente vídeo. Gostei do abrigo que fez para dormir, muito bom. Mais, o que mais gostei foi da precisão do seu rifle e da sua ótima pontaria. Grande abraço do seu amigo aqui do Brasil.
Muito obrigada meu amigo. O abrigo Eu Fiz foi muita confortavel. As espingardas dispatando muito bem agora. Ag rad ecimento ainda Johnny, apreciar a Irmao. Andy
Just dropped by ur video and wanted to let you know that I really like it!! I'm assuming ur Scottish and was wondering where u might be hunting? The vegetation and distant highway traffic and background noises reminded me of many weekend nights out camping and hunting with my dogs, in years past. Stay safe, physically healthy and consider sharing and enjoying those moments with a child or maybe a good friend. God Bless!
Thank you, thats real kind of you brother and im glad you enjoyed my video. Yes, born in Scotland, raised in England, hence the messy accent. Its an amazing woodland! Iv been camping in my uncles 60 acre woods since I was a kid. Do you not get the chance to go out camping yourself nowadays? Sounds like you have a big passion for it. I do love my solo camping. I find it ever so relaxing, but I do take my children, partner, friends and family out there quiet often... I have a few videos of camps and hunting trips with my children. Check them out if you get chance. Its always a joy to get out there with my babies. They love being in the wilderness and learning bushcraft. Thanks for watching David, take care and God bless. Andy
Great vid fella. I don't shoot myself just into the wild camping but found it very interesting. Well produced video also. Will be checking out your other stuff in due course. Thank you.
+Julian Buckley Thanks Julian, that's very kind of you mate. I hope you enjoy the rest of my wild camping videos. I'm back out to record another next week. Cheers Andy
One time when i went camping around 1am (in the santa cruz ca. Mountains 1995) the most strange thing happened we were in our sleeping bags and the groung moved like a ocean's wave .
very precised and nice to watch man .. l love the details , the photos ... the camp and everything ... full package man .. definitely worth a sub ... good job mate (Y)
+Kenosis Ralte Thanks Kenosis. That's really kind of you Brotha, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love it up there, great place to get away from the world for a few days. Cheers Andy
Cheers Mike, just finished watching your new post. Good stuff mate. Defantly... Worth a try, can't compare it to much else, I only eat meat I kill myself. Haven't eaten farmed meat in 23 years. Cheers buddy Andy
I heard Rabbit isn't all that nutritional but pretty tasty none the less. Will get round to it, hopefully freshly bagged. I haven't even practiced trapping, though I really should. I dont wan't to trap anything I don't "need" so would just be tripping them myself.
Fergs uK Yeah, probably not the most nutritious. Many would say... You can't sustain yourself on small game... Rabbit, Squirrel, Woodys, Pheasants etc, but that's nonsense!! Depends on ya skill level! Iv cleared a few farms in the past & I tell ya... if your setting 150 snares a day, you'll sustain your whole family on em!! To me there's four main areas of bushcraft & survival. Water, fire, shelter & food. Food is very under-rated, especially in the UK. Alot practace wild edibles & camp cooking, but for sure, there's not much nutrition in twigs & leaves alone. I don't like the saying... "Living off the land, sounds almost parasitic, but there's very much beauty when your living with the land :) Cheers bud Andy
+Fergs uK very high in vitamin B there have been cases, way back granted, where people died from what became known as rabbit starvation because they tried to survive solely on rabbit!
Great video I use a HW97K in .177 (RWS Superdomes by choice) myself great for bashing bunnies , nice shooting though mind you my 12bores effective as well lol
Thanks buddy. That's a crackin rifle you've got there. I nearly bought the HW98 instead of the BSA lightning xl se. I'll defantly be getting the 98 next time :) That's the very same pellets I'm using, but in .22, they fly really well. Defo with the 12 gauge, that'll stop em in their tracks haha. I got the opportunity to shoot a 20 gauge pump action shotgun only yesterday. Not as much hitting power as your 12, but lots of fun though. Cheers bud Andy
Brilliant video there mate - really enjoyed it - Not been out rabbiting for ages - You've got an awesome looking camp setup - Looking forward to working through your vids - subbed - ATB bud - Marcus
Thanks again Marcus, your very kind, hope you enjoy them!? I do love hunting the rabbits, only managed to get out on them four times this year though. Made videos of two, but I'm back on the squirrel now. I'll be munchin Squirrels till April :) Cheers buddy Andy
Smashin little Camp ya got there fella, them rabbits looked spot on .. I got a liitle webley rebel that needs brakin in but its a little noisey ..you got any recomendations on scopes n silencer .. Atb Paul
Thanks Paul. Nice, think the Rebels are a pump up type rifle? There normally pretty quiet & recoiless. If it has a thread on the barrel? Normally 1/2" thread, you can add a silencer, but adding one might make it less accurate!? Only ever owned springers, so I don't know the mechanics of the Rebel. Not to clued up on optics, only know what Iv had. My last scope was pretty good... Nikko Stirling mountmaster x40 version. Only about £45. I dropped my rifle & the scope bust on a rock. Using my old one now. Not to good mate. I'm guna replace it with another mountmaster. x50 this time tho. About £60. Cheap, but cheerful :) Cheers buddy Andy
Hello Andy I think that you call this way, it looks I am a hunter of Spain of Madrid concretely I have been charmed with your video I think that really the hunt is it, it is what you do, is to be in communion with the nature, to live of her, to feel though it is for a few days that you are a part of this nature of fact to manage to fuse with her turning into one more natural predator, not killing any more than it is necessary but if killing the necessary thing to survive it I believe that it is the spirit of the hunt unfortunately in my country Spain we do not take so much luck as you in The United States for example we cannot hunt with compressed air cannot use automatic weapon cannot use many of the calibres that you yes that you can use like for example 22 or other small calibres to hunt
+Peter Pan Gracias Peter, eso es muy amable de su hermano. Muchly apreciado.¡Seguro! Siento una gran conexión con el salvaje, cuando yo vivo como este.Me encanta el cazador - recolector tipo de estilo de vida. Aprenderlo, es una gran parte de mi vida!Gano mucha satisfacción caza mi propia comida, y vivo como un vegetariano cuando estoy en casa, por lo que sólo comen carne que cosecho a mí mismo. No soy de los Estados Unidos. Soy de Escocia, Reino Unido. Así como usted, hay muchos restricciones oyen en el U.K con cosas como las armas y la caza. Es una verdadera pena.Gracias por sus comentarios, y cuidar a mi amigo. Andy
The Desert Outdoors Not at all pal. Got my bracket from eBay, its called the Seben DKA2. There about £40. Plenty of cheaper versions that are meant to be just as good. Type into ebay... scope cam adapter, it'll bring loads up. There's one that says... like Seben DKA for £25. Don't get the cheap 10-15 quid ones. Cheers buddy Andy
Supposedly, within a 20 meter range and a good shot placement, you only need about 5 ft lbs to drop a rabbit. Full UK limit without a licence is 12ft lbs. My son's junior air rifle is about 10ft lbs, plenty enough power for small game critters. Cheers Andy
Iv been meaning to do a few videos on my skinning and tanning process. My Camp video #5 shows me skinning and tanning hides, but nothing detailed. I'll record one soon. Thanks for watching. Andy
Dear Andy,
There are many things I love and are drawn to your channel, you shoot to eat (and shoot humanly) and you shoot with your camera, to enjoy and appreciate your area of peace and tranquility, you have the perfect balance.

very nice! thank you for taking us along on your adventure!
awesome video, are you deep into the woods or by civilization, because I thought I heard traffic.
Great location for a camp, hopefully off the beaten track to avoid nosey types. Loved the video Andy. Nice one.
Stunning photos lad. Seen a few vids on those permanent shelters and spruce beds and all swear by them. Nice resource to have. Cheers Moose.
Cheers brotha.
Yeah, its really comfy, Iv only spent 4 nights on it though. The plan was to build a full length fire pit in front of it to use during winter, but iv just bought a 2 man polish army tipi and a portable tipi log burner.

Me too! Nothing better than being out in the wilderness :)
Cheers

+Clan Gunn Bushcraft yeah man..especially cooking and coffee after hunt..is really make me hungry..nothing better than that
Hiya. Just subscribed to your channel. Brilliant videos. Whats the Air Rifle you are using and is it the same as the one you were shooting the squirrels with. Thanks in advance. ps is that your own land
+Stephen Patterson
Thanks Stephen, muchly appreciated bro.
Not sure which squirrel hunts you've seen, but since my camp - hunt video #3, iv been using a BSA Lightning xl se, in .22 calibre. It's the springer version.
My older hunts, I'm using a Stoeger X20. Very basic, but shoots hard and straight.
I don't own this land, but it is private. A mixture of family and their friends. Approximately 300 acres to play in ☺Thanks again,

Thanks for that. Iv a weihrauch 97k 22caliber but yet to use it out in the wild. Ithought it was yours land as you have a great camp. I have two perms up here in the Newcastle but yet to secure any woods, forest which is really the only reason I would go out shooting. Grey's and rabbits and some quiet time. Perfect.

cool hunting bro.. :) btw what's the thing one u used to make fire? its kinda new to me :)
Love the bids, all of em. You inspired me to get back out there .I have had couple years off. Ordering hammock now. Pls DL few more bids. Atb Austin.
What I don't understand is, how could your rifle be so accurate? It's a tack driver at 25 meters. I've got a Gamo Swarm Maxxim .22 Cal Multi-Shot Pellet Rifle, and it's not consistent at all. I'm pretty upset with it.
What a great film if that what you want to call it. It's inspired me into doing something like this. How did you attached the rifle to ruck sack?
another top video pal keep them coming buddy nice rabbit being cooked over the fire and amazing camp there mate
Thanks Andrew, appreciate it buddy.
Cheers

My camps in Galloway forest, Scotland. Galloway's the largest forest in the UK, approximately 300 square miles. Beautiful place too.
My camp and hunting grounds are both on private land, but you can camp pretty much anywhere you like in Scotland. It's not restricted like it is in England.

Great video man,... Hiking, Camping & Hunting in one video :)
Do you like the Umarex Octane .22 Nitro Piston rifle ?
Nice camp and great job thanks for sharing it with us
Thats some aweful tight shot groups for a pellet gun, what distance is that for round of shots? (im at work and cant hear audio if you explained it)
Yeah, it's shooting a pretty tight group. Wasn't measured out, but it's approximately 25 meters. If you watch the camping video I did before this one, you'll see the massive difference in the groups. In the other vid, the rifles new & was the first time I hunted with it. The grouping was all over the place, but now it's broken in, it's shooting lovely. Sounds alot better now iv fitted a tuning kit to it.
Cheers buddy
Andy
who did you get your tuning kit from?
+feellnfroggy
Brands called Ultra, and I got the standard mainspring kit from a site called... gunspares.co.uk.
Cost about £50. Upgrade Ox spring kit costs about £20 extra.
Great outing, Nice camp very comfy. Lots of work paid off.
Cheers pal, well worth it!
It's place of zin :)
Thanks
Andy
That's one big backpack. how many pounds/kilos is it? thanks
that was awesome...good eating and a night out...who can say no to that!
That's it brotha, nothing better than a night in the wilderness & catching ya self some fresh organic munch.
Cheers chap
Andy
Maybe you can consider getting . .22lr, your kill rate will rocket. that 60 yard rabbit would have been in the pot, also there quiter than a .22 springer. soon as I upgraded my kill count went from single figures to 30 odd in an evening.
your the first one I have seen so far that does it right .the air rifle is the best choice for camping or survival .it makes very little noise and hits pretty hard .I was watching one guy out doing a survival video .and he had a 20 gage shotgun .one shot with that and anything besides what e already killed would be gone .not a good choice at all. love your video's
Thanks Susan, that's real kind of you.
I do love air gun hunting! Other than bow hunting, I think it's the hardest to master. With a larger calibre rifle you can shoot from a further distance. With an air gun, you've gota stalk in real close. You've got a move in silence and keep hidden. I really enjoy it.
From your point of view in a survival situation, I agree. You can't beat an air rifle. Ammo is small and small to medium game is in more abundance than large game, so a higher powered gun is unnecessary. Plus I bet attempting to preserve all that meat from a large beast would be a nightmare in a survival situation.
Thanks for watching Susan and take care.
Andy
your very welcome Andy .I agree .rabbits are easy to find and taste good and it only takes a few to fill the pot .my rifle will kill anything up to the size of a small deer .I use a hatsan 125 custom built at 30 yards at will drop a deer in its tracks .it has a double spring tune kit .and using my own pellets it has on average of 45 fpe at the muzzle .that's a lot of hit power
did you drain the piss out of rabbits ?and you should take a bit of streaky bacon to wrap your rabbit in to stop it drying out good video mate
Always... That sound delicious. Im off bow hunting the rabbits next week. I'll get some bacon in. Thanks for watching buddy.
Cheers,
Andy
really enjoyed that your bushcraft skills are excellent & very entertaining looking forward to the next ones thanks for posting
Thanks Bob.
Them super field pellets you recommended fly very accurately. Cheers buddy,
Andy
glad they worked good grouping by the way
silverbob999
Brilliant!!
Thanks pal
Great bit of woodland you got there brother I'm envious 😆liked and subbed, atb Shane.
Cheers Shane, appreciate it brotha. I feel blessed every time im up there. It's where I go to hide from the missus lolhaha
Thanks
Andy
Two for two at 15 to 25 meters in that light is good shooting with a 'springer'. Well done.
Enjoyed very much. Well made video. Thanks
Cracking video Andy, It reminds me of when I use to go out hunting rabbits when I was a teenager. My uncle had a small holding and his land was covered in rabbits, they destroyed everything, so we had to keep the numbers down. Atb Glenn.
Thanks Glenn
Teenage years well spent mate. I use to clear a few farms, only really hunt for food nowadays, but yeah, the damage to land, crops, building etc is massive. Cattle breaking their legs down burrows. Defantly, a big problem if their not controlled.
This plots only 9 acres, but there's no crops anywhere near by so no one bothers them. Well unless I get hungry lolhaha
Cheers buddy, subbed back, looking forward to going through your videos.
Andy
Great overnighter andy, the camp looks awesome, nice shooting to, you cant beat wild meat, nice group on the zeroing target also...atb...jeff.
+jeffiow
Thanks Jeff. Muchly appreciated bro.
Cheers
Andy
best video ive seen all day and i been on here a while
Haha I have them days to! Glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for watching Hayley.
Very nice video mate. Are you camping at private land or public? I want start my camping and hunting. I live in Birmingham but I'm not U.K. citizen.
Is the bag you keep all your fire supplies is it rabbit or squrrile or something else
+Smellvin
Yeah, my tinder pouch is made from two Rabbit hides. They were harvested during winter, so there very fluffy.
Iv been downsizing my kit recently, and this pouch was a bit to big. I sown up a new, slightly smaller one a few days ago using the larger hide from this video and another hide from my previous vid (#3).
I make a double Squirrel trappin pouch in that video aswel. Plus I show my full hide tanning process in my camp#5 vid. Check them out if you get chance.
Cheers
Andy
Awesome video. What pack are you using? Keep up the great work!
+prepster mcar
Cheers buddy.
It's the 88L, Highlander pro force pack.
Still being used by British army, so it's pretty tough.
Iv had mine about three years, and it's holding up very well. Comfy too.
Thanks
Andy
Hi just found your channel great vids what rifle do you use and what are the laws on sir rifles now do you need a licence got them now was looking to get back into it
Thanks Roy, appreciate it buddy. You should get back into it, lots of fun & an air rifles a great hunting/ survival tool to have.
The rifle im using in this video is a BSA lightning xl se .22 calibre. No licence needed in the UK for a sub 12lb air gun. For small game like rabbits, squirrels etc, you only need about 5lb of power to knock em down so 12's plenty.
Cheers
Andy
Thanks Andy for the information much appreciated atb roy
Ola meu amigo Clan. parabéns por mais um excelente vídeo. Gostei do abrigo que fez para dormir, muito bom. Mais, o que mais gostei foi da precisão do seu rifle e da sua ótima pontaria. Grande abraço do seu amigo aqui do Brasil.
Muito obrigada meu amigo.
O abrigo Eu Fiz foi muita confortavel. As espingardas dispatando muito bem agora. Ag rad ecimento ainda Johnny, apreciar a Irmao.
Andy
Just dropped by ur video and wanted to let you know that I really like it!! I'm assuming ur Scottish and was wondering where u might be hunting? The vegetation and distant highway traffic and background noises reminded me of many weekend nights out camping and hunting with my dogs, in years past. Stay safe, physically healthy and consider sharing and enjoying those moments with a child or maybe a good friend. God Bless!
Thank you, thats real kind of you brother and im glad you enjoyed my video.
Yes, born in Scotland, raised in England, hence the messy accent.
Its an amazing woodland! Iv been camping in my uncles 60 acre woods since I was a kid.
Do you not get the chance to go out camping yourself nowadays? Sounds like you have a big passion for it.
I do love my solo camping. I find it ever so relaxing, but I do take my children, partner, friends and family out there quiet often... I have a few videos of camps and hunting trips with my children. Check them out if you get chance. Its always a joy to get out there with my babies. They love being in the wilderness and learning bushcraft.
Thanks for watching David, take care and God bless.
Andy
Another great video mate, I enjoy these little adventures :).
Thanks bro, I enjoy making them.
Cheers,
Andy
Great vid fella. I don't shoot myself just into the wild camping but found it very interesting. Well produced video also. Will be checking out your other stuff in due course. Thank you.
+Julian Buckley
Thanks Julian, that's very kind of you mate.
I hope you enjoy the rest of my wild camping videos. I'm back out to record another next week.
Cheers
Andy
One time when i went camping around 1am (in the santa cruz ca. Mountains 1995) the most strange thing happened we were in our sleeping bags and the groung moved like a ocean's wave .
Very strange!
What do you think it was? Earthquake??
Cheers
Andy
how much does your average pack weigh for a hunt like this?
when will you do another camping/hunting day night? i love your vids im new and i wached almost all your videos!
Great camp. I love grilled rabbit.
Cheers.
Yeah, me too bro.
Take care bud
Andy
Good video liked it very good
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed my video.

Cheers brotha, muchly appreciated. You to Liam, all the best matey.
very precised and nice to watch man .. l love the details , the photos ... the camp and everything ... full package man .. definitely worth a sub ... good job mate (Y)
+Kenosis Ralte
Thanks Kenosis.
That's really kind of you Brotha, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love it up there, great place to get away from the world for a few days.
Cheers
Andy
Glad I checked out your channel. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Yet to try rabbit but will get there eventually. Thanks for sharing. ATB, Mike
Cheers Mike, just finished watching your new post. Good stuff mate.
Defantly... Worth a try, can't compare it to much else, I only eat meat I kill myself. Haven't eaten farmed meat in 23 years.
Cheers buddy
Andy
I heard Rabbit isn't all that nutritional but pretty tasty none the less. Will get round to it, hopefully freshly bagged. I haven't even practiced trapping, though I really should. I dont wan't to trap anything I don't "need" so would just be tripping them myself.
Fergs uK
Yeah, probably not the most nutritious. Many would say... You can't sustain yourself on small game... Rabbit, Squirrel, Woodys, Pheasants etc, but that's nonsense!! Depends on ya skill level! Iv cleared a few farms in the past & I tell ya... if your setting 150 snares a day, you'll sustain your whole family on em!!
To me there's four main areas of bushcraft & survival. Water, fire, shelter & food.
Food is very under-rated, especially in the UK.
Alot practace wild edibles & camp cooking, but for sure, there's not much nutrition in twigs & leaves alone.
I don't like the saying... "Living off the land, sounds almost parasitic, but there's very much beauty when your living with the land :)
Cheers bud
Andy
Well said.
+Fergs uK very high in vitamin B there have been cases, way back granted, where people died from what became known as rabbit starvation because they tried to survive solely on rabbit!
Yo good video and
it was cool how ur shelter was built
Great Video...well done.....Great Camp..Clean Kill...Respect
"Keep Your Powder (Air) Dry"
Thanks Mike, appreciate it my friend.
atb,
Andy
I have never got that kind of grouping from a break barrel . Must be a good one
The BSA is very accurate. My Stoeger is better at longer distances tho.
Thanks for watching buddy
what time did u get the bunny
Great video I use a HW97K in .177 (RWS Superdomes by choice) myself great for bashing bunnies , nice shooting though mind you my 12bores effective as well lol
Thanks buddy. That's a crackin rifle you've got there. I nearly bought the HW98 instead of the BSA lightning xl se. I'll defantly be getting the 98 next time :)
That's the very same pellets I'm using, but in .22, they fly really well.
Defo with the 12 gauge, that'll stop em in their tracks haha.
I got the opportunity to shoot a 20 gauge pump action shotgun only yesterday. Not as much hitting power as your 12, but lots of fun though.
Cheers bud
Andy
Damn good eating 👍👌 squirrel I heard is really good
Brilliant video there mate - really enjoyed it - Not been out rabbiting for ages - You've got an awesome looking camp setup - Looking forward to working through your vids - subbed - ATB bud - Marcus
Thanks again Marcus, your very kind, hope you enjoy them!? I do love hunting the rabbits, only managed to get out on them four times this year though. Made videos of two, but I'm back on the squirrel now. I'll be munchin Squirrels till April :)
Cheers buddy
Andy
I have too say this is an amazing video I'm hooked
Thanks James, glad you enjoyed it bro
Smashin little Camp ya got there fella, them rabbits looked spot on .. I got a liitle webley rebel that needs brakin in but its a little noisey ..you got any recomendations on scopes n silencer ..
Atb Paul
Thanks Paul.
Nice, think the Rebels are a pump up type rifle? There normally pretty quiet & recoiless. If it has a thread on the barrel? Normally 1/2" thread, you can add a silencer, but adding one might make it less accurate!? Only ever owned springers, so I don't know the mechanics of the Rebel. Not to clued up on optics, only know what Iv had. My last scope was pretty good... Nikko Stirling mountmaster x40 version. Only about £45. I dropped my rifle & the scope bust on a rock. Using my old one now. Not to good mate. I'm guna replace it with another mountmaster. x50 this time tho. About £60. Cheap, but cheerful :)
Cheers buddy

i myself use to hunt wild animal fo days..........i like ur video.

Nice one, and thanks Micheal.

Hello Andy I think that you call this way, it looks I am a hunter of Spain of Madrid concretely I have been charmed with your video I think that really the hunt is it, it is what you do, is to be in communion with the nature, to live of her, to feel though it is for a few days that you are a part of this nature of fact to manage to fuse with her turning into one more natural predator, not killing any more than it is necessary but if killing the necessary thing to survive it I believe that it is the spirit of the hunt unfortunately in my country Spain we do not take so much luck as you in The United States for example we cannot hunt with compressed air cannot use automatic weapon cannot use many of the calibres that you yes that you can use like for example 22 or other small calibres to hunt
+Peter Pan
Gracias Peter, eso es muy amable de su hermano. Muchly apreciado.¡Seguro! Siento una gran conexión con el salvaje, cuando yo vivo como este.Me encanta el cazador - recolector tipo de estilo de vida. Aprenderlo, es una gran parte de mi vida!Gano mucha satisfacción caza mi propia comida, y vivo como un vegetariano cuando estoy en casa, por lo que sólo comen carne que cosecho a mí mismo. No soy de los Estados Unidos. Soy de Escocia, Reino Unido. Así como usted, hay muchos restricciones oyen en el U.K con cosas como las armas y la caza. Es una verdadera pena.Gracias por sus comentarios, y cuidar a mi amigo.

Clan Gunn Bushcraft if you dont mind me asking where did you pick up your scope mount?
The Desert Outdoors
Not at all pal. Got my bracket from eBay, its called the Seben DKA2. There about £40. Plenty of cheaper versions that are meant to be just as good. Type into ebay... scope cam adapter, it'll bring loads up. There's one that says... like Seben DKA for £25. Don't get the cheap 10-15 quid ones.
Cheers buddy

Clan Gunn Bushcraft
Thanks for the info!
hi
what are you useing for an air rifle
It's a BSA Lightning xl se, in .22 calibre.
I like dis video ..not a lot of endless mind numbing talk ..just straight to the fucking point ..dis how a video be done
Great idea with the pellets in the butt pad
Cheers Chris. Saves rummaging around in your pocket for pellets.
Thanks for watching bro and merry christmas
Bro how much fps is this rifle .
another great vid keep em coming.
Thanks Paul, appreciate it buddy.
Cheers
Andy
What power should air gun be for rabbits
Supposedly, within a 20 meter range and a good shot placement, you only need about 5 ft lbs to drop a rabbit.
Full UK limit without a licence is 12ft lbs.
My son's junior air rifle is about 10ft lbs, plenty enough power for small game critters.
Cheers
Andy
hey Andy haven't done a video in a while hope everything's good with you
what rifle do u have 177 or a 22
.22
please do a video on skinning squirrels and rabbits
Iv been meaning to do a few videos on my skinning and tanning process.
My Camp video #5 shows me skinning and tanning hides, but nothing detailed.
I'll record one soon.
Thanks for watching.
