Solo Bushcraft Overnighter - Minimalist Hobo Camping
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2022
- When I was younger I always dreamed of travelling from town to town on foot, carrying a small amount of gear and camping out along the way. In these towns I would find a few days work to earn a little money then replenish my supplies and continue with my travels.
This trip was an attempt to feel what that kind of lifestyle would've been like.
I spent a good portion of the day hiking until I came to a small forest stream. There I set up my camp for the night, had a quick meal, and got a really good sleep. In the morning after a quick bite to eat and some coffee I packed up and once again hit the trail.
This was a really fun trip that allowed me to experience what a different lifestyle may have entailed.
Thank you to everyone who watches. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did.
FAQ/Info:
Where was this filmed?
Alberta, Canada.
What about the wildlife?
This area is home to many wildlife species including black bears, grizzly bears, cougars, and wolves.
For the most part, these animals are very timid towards humans and will cause no trouble. With that being said I do carry bear spray and I have educated myself on how to deal with dangerous wildlife.
While out filming I ran across two black bears, a sow and her cub. The cub climbed into a tree, and the sow was between me and her cub. The situation was very calm. Once I saw them I made a little noise (speaking softly) to make my presence known. The sow looked at me then shortly went back to grazing. I was able to hang out for about 20 minutes and watch them before I backed out and went a different way for my hike. I was approximately 20 yards away from the sow when I was filming her.
What is my cook set?
Old tins cans I cleaned up. My cup and kettle are made from different sizes of tin cans. The skillet is made from a metal coffee can. They worked quite well. Special care has to be taken if you're going to use old cans as a cook set. Most cans these days have a plastic film on them which must be removed before cooking. I also polymerized oil on the cans after the plastic was removed to create a barrier between my food and the metal.
Was the grass bed warm?
I've used beds of grass before but always dry grass. I wasn't sure how the green grass bed would be in terms of warmth. Due to the moisture in the grass I had my suspicions that it may draw heat away rather than act as an insulator. The temperature got fairly cold at night.. cold enough that frost formed on my tarp and the surrounding area. I stayed plenty warm on the grass bed, however. It acted as a great insulator and my body didn't get cold at all.
What was the temperature on this trip?
I'm not exactly certain. Warm during the day. At night it was cold enough that frost formed. It didn't get below freezing though. It was really nice temperatures for camping.
What did I eat?
Dinner- Potato, onion, and cured sausage skillet.
Breakfast- Coffee and apples. - Розваги
This video makes me want to go back to nature and i'm probably not the only one . You can be proud to know that your videos make people wants to go to the bush , we don t need a lot of stuff to enjoy the calm and the serenity of the forrest . thanks bro .
Me too
“The more toys a man has, the less he wants to play. “ Taught that one in Army. Excellent minimalist video. As always a pleasure. PeaceY
An interesting quote. After looking it up though-it has no reference. It doesn't actually make much sense if you really think about it. Also, define toy? Women? Cars? Etc. Actual toys like a lego firetruck? Maybe the quote means hobbies, well that doesn't mame sense either. Game maybe, chess backgammon etc. Well surely they need an opponent? I think this is just one of those quotes that someone may have said that roughly equates to less is more. It is an interesting concept in a Carl Jung type of way tho.
@@nigelward5494 toys in a materialistic sense like cars and branded clothings
It makes a LOT of sense. I am a South African Pensioner and can't afford much in the way of 'toys' - so I make my own. Next up is a tent made partially to my own design. Last toy I made was a hobo reel. And I want to make a wood gasifying stove. One way of other I have a LOT of fun.
Nice piece of advice and easy to spot once you know it. Thanks for sharing!
@nigelward5494 if ya have to explain , ya wouldn't understand anyway... toys , meaning geared to the clip yr watching aka gear , not toys toys as in board games ... geeez ..
The more you know the less you carry Mors Kochansky said. This is a perfect example! Great video! So simple and yet full of skills. Thank you! 👍
"The more you know, the less you need" is one of my all time favorite quotes. I believe it was coined by Yvon Chouinard.
Mine is , what’s that number for reservations at the Marriott?
@@Chuck_W59 😂👍
Loving these quotes 😆
@@Chuck_W59 LOL
Your vids are just excellent! I like this one because it shows that a bunch of fancy gear (which I have) can fuzz the picture and distract from what’s important. You are good at saying a lot without saying a thing. Thank you.
For a minute I thought the pot lid handle was a key from a Prem can lol
The idea of turning an empty can into a pot Is a good "invention" great video btw!
Packing the swamp grass in there makes a comfortable bed. But, in some locations and seasons, that grass can be infested with ticks. That would lead to problems.

Love your cook kit!
Very simple, but beautiful camping, and love this style ..... as I'm an old lady, and not strong enough to carry a heavy gear for camping ... for an emergency I've got whole set of the gear for caimping at home, as our location is along the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by the Tone River, which indicates the risk of tsunami in the quake, like the one occurred on the New Year Day around the Noto Peninsula, located along the Japan Sea ... two years ago I began to practice surfing so that I can survive any tsunami, ha ha!😁
You would make a good hobo. The Littlest Hobo from Canada would be proud if you ever heard of him (and if not, you should google him).
I hope there is a voice that keeps calling you and maybe tomorrow we will all settle down.
All the best Ryley and always remember to follow your nose! 🇨🇦🦫
Fantastic I just spent $2,000 on gear and I envy what you have LOL
The two uprights behind the fire, were driven in 6”-8” deep by pounding with an axe. They stood straight up. Firewood was stacked against them to (1) reflect heat and light into the shelter. But in the morning, they both leaned back about 6”-7”, no longer straight upright. All the stacked fire wood had slipped into the fire and were consumed. And he pulled the stakes up with only a couple of fingers. Some major adjustments had been made off camera.

Hi my friend🤠👍👌 laik to Bushkraft
It's really fitting to watch it at 1:46 pm
“Once you realize what is needed for life, the bullshit drops away.”
Heard that on a survival show and its so true. Water food and shelter is all we truly need, everything else is a distraction or just extra.
refreshing to see some of the. old ways...Mors would be proud of that coffee...nice job, enjoyed the wild life
Oh yeah! A hot cup of coffee and a bowl of full Virginia flake makes for a great end to a day in the bush. Don't ever come to Marion Indiana and try to wash your face in this River. The skin of your face just likely to rot away and fall off. A friend and i went on a canoe trip on the Wabash River. We ran out of water. He just could not abide being thirsty. He dipped his water bottle straight into the water and without using purification tablets or boiling it or anything just started chugging down that dirty river water. And the hell of it is he never got sick!
Wonderful. I am a Pipe Smoker and I love Having A Bowl or Two When I am Fishing. Keep it up Young Man 👍👍
Hello. It was a camp in silence and peace. I watched calmly
Your videos are my “ minds medication “. Always great, be safe.
that owl .....omg i wish I could photograph him ..such i nice creature
Just discovered this channel. What strikes me among many things is body language, manner of movement, tasks & decisions. NOTHING RUSHED!! Not slow either just deliberate, observant, considered, calm, relaxed (because he is calm and relaxed). What a crazy contrast to city living. You won’t need me to tell you he has the better deal...
He defenitely HAS the better deal, imo...
There's beauty in simplicity. Blessed are the Meek, for they shall inherit the earth...
Not a word spoken and everything said !
Love this video. Simple is good in most cases. You have an inspiring way about you little brother.
I learn so much from you...I am a wanderer in Spain, i just used the roads of the Saint James ways in Spain through all the country by walking.
That grass looks very comfortable but if that were Tennessee, it would be tick cIty! Great video!!
I was wondering if he had any when he got up. Most of the things I see some of these guys do would lead to me having to check myself constantly for ticks and surely they would be there. I am wondering where these tick free oasis’ exist, or do they just endure it for the sake of art.
@@KarnakActual Ticks hop on me like iron to a magnet. Especially "seed ticks". I'll find them all over me.
Simple yet perfect...enjoyed your cookware
Everything about this video was great and exceptionally peaceful and relaxing. The cub bears were so adorable. Thank you so much 💚
Man , ....that was so cool . The tarp configuration alone has me puttin' on my shoes n pants and go outside in the back yard and try that configuration . The homemade bushpot , billy cup , and frying pan was so cool . Now i got a new project hobby .
Loved the animal shots and glad to see the beard coming back. The food looked great as always.
Great camping trip. I was surprised that you got so close to a mother bear and her cub. I would be scared to get that close. I've only encountered one bear in the wild.
It was really cool to see. I've encountered many bears throughout my time in the wilderness but this was the first time that I was able to get good footage. Usually the bears are gone before I can get my camera rolling.
Living my friend living 👍🏴
You show something different, simple but very interesting to watch..
Life for food and water is enough😁😍
I just love watching you cook stuff (:
As usual, just amazing! Just a note about repurposing those types of cans. They are lined with plastic and so is best to burn them out before using with food.
Hello my friend.
Greet from Slovakia.
I just want to write a few words.
Before I discovered your videos, I loved the videos of Bertram, Swedwoods and probably Nagualero the most. All of them were and are a huge inspiration.
But when I saw your video I was amazed and very happy,
I like your simplicity, practicality, peace and quiet that comes from you and your videos. I also wander through nature, enjoying this huge gift that we have and learning a lot from you. Huge thanks to you for the videos and to the universe for discovering you. I wish you beautiful trips and good luck. Best regards, Tulak
I've watched alot of bushcraft videos....and this is the first time I've seen someone use tins like this as cookware! I love em, man! To me, that's how bushcraft should be! ....my question is, has anyone heard of getting ill by cooking in tins like this? I watched one video where dude cooked a his canned food over the fire, but issued a warning that he didn't recommend doing that. Regardless, I think I'm gonna have to add some tins like these to my pack! Awesome vid...thanks brother!
🏕 Wow! really good! that's the way it has to be! thank you for this brilliant video! stay healthy and see you soon
I especially enjoy the absence of plastic.
You make very nice videos. That's why I leave a subscription. Greetings from Germany, Friedrich
Worn cloths and gear is always and good sign i'll like the video...
Another great video! Love the black bear footage.
Really injoy looking forward to the next 👍 top job legend 👍
Great to see you back on the big screen again. I enjoy your videos.
Thank You for another great video.
You did not disappoint. Very impressive. Glad to see you back.
Awesome video! Greetings from Brazil . Pipe smoker here too ! Subbed! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Love love love the ASMR style, no talking style of vids. Very calming! Thanks! Great vid
Very relaxing, I like my pipe to filled with green gear.
I love your videos, they're excellent. No silly music...makes a big difference.
Very nice video my friend, love the footage about the wildlife.
Great channel! My favorite!
So relaxing, thank you
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.
Nice relaxing video.
Happens to remind me of a similar video from Scotty Gone Walkabout that demonstrates the ol' Aussie Bagman set up. Not quite the same, but with a similar, minimalist approach.
Either way, a cool way of going about an outdoors trip.
I don't have much to say, thanks for the video, it's good to see things like this, low-cost camping without sequins, it made me want to go camping in the first place I can find. And I didn't know about the pot handle system for inserting the stick, good idea
Люблю эту атмосферу
Good stuff.
I can't stop the quiet emotions！
Great Job, As Always!
Mate, that was pure joy to watch. Honestly it was. I doff my cap to you, many times!
I like that you left the place more or less as you found it. A bit of flattened grass, some carbon from the fire; it will look like no one was there in 2 or 3 weeks tops. Great kit in this one, really trimming it down.
Thanks for watching!
美しい映像をありがとう。
とてもリラックスした気持ちになれました。
love the hobo cook kit and theme of this vid, that owl was epic, I feel the vid could do with more beard though
Always loved your videos....kind of soothing ....that mama bear 🐻...quite scary ....cheers from Mauritius
Love your vids, cheers
I gotta say...that pipe looks awfully fresh. I'd hope it's new and hasn't been broken in very much yet.
such a good video man..👍
I love these video's!!!
Thx for uploading mate .....👍👍👍
Cool video! Love the 1800’s vibe! Might have pushed it a little with momma bear though.😬🫣
I almost didn't recognize you without your hat on. I'm so used to seeing you with it on than off but you still look good. So your camping solo and doing diy videos.The best you can have are the do it yourself . Food always taste better cooked outdoors over a flaming fire pit. Got you some grass to sleep on. What more could you ask for. It's a winder that your smoke and the smell of your good looking didn't bring a bear around sniffing. Saw on earlier with her cub. . I hope you get a good night's rest without any animals attacking you or any rain coming down.i enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. P.S.I like you better with your hat off.
nice video thank you. there are a lot of bindle and stick vids but yours is the only practical one
Here in the Southern Appalachians of NE TN the Black Bears would have been all over your Camp cooking that close.
Great video man. It’s been very dry here in southern Alberta but it looks greener up north.
Absolutely beautiful. I can feel the pure nature in your videos! Firstly I thought man this guy has the crappiest tools that exist but the real crap is inside those who have all luxury goods. Thank you so much.
Excellent.
You are rekindling something in me that I had forgotten was there. This is how I spent much of my youth, wandering in the wilds of British Columbia and your videos are inspiring me to slow down, get back to basics and nature. Thank you and please keep the content going so I can join along with you.
That's life as Mother Nature intended
Thanks for this video, so relaxing 🙏🏻❤️
Excellent video!!!!! Can’t wait for the next
Another peaceful but great adventure Ryley. The wildlife shots was amazing.
Some great wildlife shots! I really enjoyed this trip!
This was another awesome adventure, once again. Cheers! ✌️🇨🇦
Beautiful video. Really great work.
This was awesome! Do more minimalist DIY camping :)
There is an incredible feeling of closeness to nature when you go out with minimal gear that you've fashioned yourself. I love the tin can cook kit.
Simply perfect, great vid, all the best from Portugal 😉👌🤩🇵🇹
Going through the process of preparing a coffee tin or other tins , burning off the plastic coating would be interesting, thanks
Great video! Has to be my new favorite of yours. Simplicity made it a complete package.
I'm so happy i found your channel 😁
Great stuff. Love your hobo pots and pans. Well done.
Beautifully done video! ❤
Beautifully simple and inspiring.
This was great. Thanks man.
So cool...everything looks natural and really makes very good use of nature. I really like your content guys.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just found your videos, and I love them. Living with purpose, and peace in your heart! ☮️😊❤️
Merci !
